2014高考英语阅读理解基础精品题练习（7）及答案阅读理解There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board（布告板）. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects(物品), meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings（表） each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping peo ple choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.59. What is the passage mainly about?A. Finding a job.B. College students’ part-time jobs.C. Craigslist Web site.D.

ALinda Evans was my best friend — like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special times —like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back，stamped “Address Unknown”. I had no idea about how to find Linda.Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.One day, I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman —Linda’s married name.“There must be thousands of Wagmans.” I thought, but I still wrote to her.She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.”Minutes later I heard a voice that I recognized at once, even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and cau ght up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!26. The writer went to piano lessons with Linda Evans ________.A. at the age of 13B. before she got marriedC. after they moved to new homesD. before the writer’s family moved away【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。
根据开始的时候作者与Linda总是一起去上钢琴课、看电影、游泳、骑马等，但后来在作者13岁的时候，作者一家搬走了，两人只能通过书信联系。
故选D。
27. They didn’t often write to each other because they ________.A. got marriedB. had little time to do soC. didn’t like writing lettersD. could see each other on special time 【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。
根据文章第2段中的Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often根据文可知，她们之所以没经常写信，是因为她们要忙于照顾孩子，又要搬新家，也就是说，她们没有时间写信。
28. There was an empty place in the writer’s heart because she ________.A. was in troubleB. didn’t know Linda’s addressC. received the card that she sentD. didn’t have a friend like Linda to share her happin ess and sadness【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
If you are a fan of J．K Rowling and her Harry Potter book series, you may be fascinated with the idea of an invisible coat．You are not alone．Scientists have been working hard to produce a material which will make buildings as well as people invisible．Now a Canadian company claims to have succeeded with magical textile （纺织品）called "Quantum Stealth"．British Columbia based on Hyperstealth Technology Corporation claims that the material makes its wearers completely invisible, even to people with night glasses．Also, just like the young wizard's coat, it is light-weight and does not need cameras, batteries, lights or mirrors to operate．But best of all, it is cheap to make．As to how it really works, the company keeps it a top secret．Besides stating that they have successfully managed to bend light waves, so that they go round the material instead of through it, the company is not giving out any details．What it does detail is all the good uses that Quantum Stealth could be put to-ranging from protecting US and Canadian soldiers forced to step into enemy region, to allowing special armed forces to carry out surprise attack without any fear of being seen．And if that is not enough they even imagine creating aircrafts and submarines （潜水艇）that can go completely undetected．To prove that Quantum Stealth really exists, the company has released photos and even a video showing its magical properties．For those that are still sceptical, they have only one thing to say both the US and Canadian military officials have witnessed it live and are so impressed that they are working with Hyper stealth Technology to create the next generation "survival blanket" that could make the soldier invisible all at once! If this is indeed true, we have only one question: When will this magical fabric beavailable to the rest of us?1．What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?A．To bring in the topic．B．To draw peopled attention to J．K Rowling and her idea．C．To make the article interesting．D．To introduce the Canadian company．2．According to the passage, Quantum Stealth is _____．A．an invisible coat worn by the wizard in the film "Harry Potter"B．a type of material making its users invisibleC．an equipment employed as an alternative for camerasD．an advanced weapon used to attack enemies3．Which of the following words can be used to describe the coat?A．Convenient but not expensive．B．Creative but heavy．C．Ordinary and light．D．Magical and imaginary．4．The third paragraph is mainly about _____．A．there are no details about the material B．whether the material is true or falseC．the materials theory and functions D．the material has been put into practice5．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．The material is invisible only to those with night glasses．B．Quantum Stealth will be widely used in our life soon．C．People have no faith in the photos and video provided at all．D．The new product can still be improved for better use．【参考答案】1—5、ABACD第一部分完形填空完形填空训练完形填空。

高考英语(四月)完形填空阅读理解小练(7)高三全册英语试题
定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校2015高考英语（四月）完形填空、阅读理解小练（7）答案阅读理解(2014·高三第一次模拟考试)Elderly adults who regularly drink green tea may stay more agile (敏捷的) and independent than their peers over time, according to a Japanese study that covered thousands of people.Green tea contains antioxidant chemicals (抗氧化化学物质) that may help stop the cell damage that can lead to disease.Researchers have been studying green tea’s effect on everything from cholesterol (胆固醇) to the risk of certain cancers，with mixed results so far.They found those who drank the most green tea were the least likely to develop “functional disability”，or problems with daily activities or basic needs，such as dressing or bathing.Specifically，almost 13 percent of adults who drank less than a cup of green tea per day became functionally disabled，compared with just over 7 percent of people who drank at least five cups a day.The study did not prove that green tea alone kept people agile as they grew older.Green tea lovers generally had healthier diets，including more fish，vegetables and fruit，as well as more education，lower smoking rates，fewer heart attacks and strokes，and greater mental sharpness.They also tended to be more socially active and have more friends and family to rely on.But even with those factors accounted for，green tea itself was tied to a tower disability risk，the researchers said.People who drank at least five cups a day were onethird less likely to develop disabilities than those who had less than a cup per day.Those people who averaged three or four cups a day had a 25 percent lower risk. Although it’s not clear how green tea might offer a buffer (缓冲) against disabilities，lead researcher Yasutake Tomata did note that one recent study found green tea extracts (提取物) seem to increase leg muscle strength in older women.While green tea and its extracts are considered safe in small amounts，they do contain caffeine and small amounts of vitamin K，which means it could affect drugs that prevent blood clotting (凝固)．6．What does the underlined word “peers” mea n in the first paragraph? A．Fathers.B．Brothers.C．People of the same age.D．People living in the same neighborhood.7．What can be learned from the passage?A．Antioxidant chemicals can lead to disease.B．Those who often drink green tea can’t develop “funct ional disability”．C．“Functional disability” is related to problems with daily activitiesor basic needs.D．People who drink at least five cups a day are not likely to become functionally disabled.8．What does the fifth paragraph mainly tell us?A．How the study was proved.B．Why green tea lovers can keep agile.C．What healthier diets include.D．How to lower the disability risk.9．What has the researcher Yasutake Tomata discovered?A．Those who drank green tea can’t develop “functional disability”．B．Green tea alone kept people agile as they grew older.C．How green tea might offer a buffer against disabilities.D．Green tea extracts seem to increase leg muscle strength in older women. 10．From the passage we can infer that________.A．vitamin K is contained in caffeineB．vitamin K is good for our bloodC．vitamin K is bad for our healthD．vitamin K has influence on some drugs语篇解读本文介绍了常饮绿茶对身体的种种好处及原因。
高考英语-阅读理解Ⅳ：篇章结构题(测)-专题练习(七)有答案
高考英语专题练习（七）阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题（测）There are many places to go on safari（观赏野生动物）in Africa, but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana’s Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world’s most exciting wildlife journeys.Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face, it is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace, with golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impress ive. As the sun’s rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa comes to life.Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.2．The author introduces the riding experience in the Okavango Delta mainly by________.A．following space orderB．following time orderC．making classificationsD．giving examples3．Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys （调查）on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.In the context（背景）of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does thepossibility of f requent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn’t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents —today’s grandparents — would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.3．Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?（）4．【贵州省遵义航天高级中学高三第四次模拟】When should people be made to retire? 55? 65? Should there be a compulsory age limit?Many old people work well into their 70s and 80s, running families, countries or corporations. Other people, however, despite being fit and highly talented, are forced to retire in their fifties or even earlier because of the regulations of a company or the nation. This essay will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage.Some people think there are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. First of all, older employees have an immense amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to abusiness or organization if they are made to retire. A second point is that older employees are often extremely loyal employees and are more willing to carry out company policies than younger less committed staff. However, a more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is over. Age is irrelevant to a working life, surely if older employees are told they cannot work after 60, this is age discrimination. That they become old does not necessarily mean they are going to be sick. Old people could be more aware, experienced and committed than some youngsters.Others, however, think that allowing older people to work indefinitely is not a good policy. Age alone is no guarantee of ability. Old people are only ambitious workaholics who are too selfish and self-centered to believe that a younger person could do better. Actually, many younger employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. In addition, without age limits, however, many people would continue to work purely because they did not have any other plans or roles. A third point of view is that older people should be rewarded by society for their life’s labor by being given generous pensi ons and the freedom to enjoy their leisure. We now have youngsters who can’t find jobs because old people are choosing not to retire. Old people are not retiring because this new generation of “old people” think they will never die due to modern advances i n medicine.With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers. However, this can affect the older individual’s freedom and right to work and can deprive（剥夺）society of valuable experience and insights. I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual.4．The passage is arranged as follows ________5．【陕西省咸阳市武功县高三上学期摸底考试】Salvador Dali （1904-1989）was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities（无限）. “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration（合作）with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.5．How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali? ________A．By popularityB．By time and subject.C．By size and shapeD．By importance.阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题（测）答案1~5 ABBAB阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题（测）解析1．【文章大意】随着现代科技的发展，树荫下种植的咖啡产量越来越少，取而代之的是受到阳光暴晒的考费。
高考二轮复习英语试题(老高考旧教材)阅读理解文体分类练7新闻报道
文体分类练(七)新闻报道(限时:25分钟)Passage1(2023四川成都三诊)Jeff Jensen,the business and Boy Scout leader,was in a dilemma and had painful damage in his leg and foot.He needed surgery,but he doubted whether he could afford it,even with insurance.“There’s nothing more depressing than seeing a bill for 24,000 dollars and going.How much of this will my insurance cover and how much is mine to cover?” Jensen told WWAY-TV.Luckily for Jensen,his doctor is Demetrio Aguila.The nerve specialist gives patients the option to pay for surgery through volunteer work.He founded an organization called M25 Program.“We can’t ignore the people in our own backyard,” Aguila told CBS.“We want to be able to offer hope to patients who have lost hope medically.”Using an algorithm (算法),the clinic calculates community service hours based on the price of the surgery.In Jensen’s case,the $12,000 operation equaled 560 hours of helping out at one of the local charitable organizations registered with the M25 Program.Like 10 percent of Aguila’s pa tients,Jensen chose the community service.And because hundreds of hours of community service can seem difficult,Aguila,50,not only lets others participate,he encourages it.“I had this hope that we would reawaken in our neighbors and in ourselves a sense of volunteerism,” he told CNN.Jensen,whose surgery was completed in February 2020,was helped by more than 100 friends and strangers who volunteered at Orphan Grain Train,which donates food,clothing,and medicine nationally and globally.Dave Harvey,founder of the homeless aid organization Least of My Brethren,is counted as one who is inspired by Aguila.“He is making things easier by sending volunteers our way!”he told KMTV in Omaha.“What a cool thing!”1.What can a patient do if he can’t afford surgery accor ding to the text?A.Seek aid from social media.B.Raise money in the hospital.C.Join in the voluntary service.D.Turn to the insurance company.2.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?A.People’s help.B.The M25 Program.munity service.D.Medical assistance.3.What’s Harvey’s attitude to Aguila?A.Cautious.B.Concerned.C.Grateful.D.Doubtful.4.Where is the text probably taken from?A.A local newspaper.B.A medical journal.C.A clinic advertisement.D.An insurance brochure.Passage2(2023山东青岛一模)A six-year-old longing to keep a unicorn in her backyard figured she’d get the hard part out of the way first.Last November,Madeline wrote a letter to the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control with a straightforward request.“Dear LA County,I would like your approval if I can have a unicorn in my backyard if I can find one.Please send me a letter in response.”Director Mayeda replied two weeks later.The department does in fact license unicorns,she said,under certain conditions.Those include polishing the unicorn’s horn at least once a month with a soft cloth,feeding it watermelon at least once a week,covering it with only nontoxic and biodegradable sparkles and giving it regular access to sunlight,moonbeams and rainbows.And,because unicorns are indeed very rare to find,the department is also giving Madeline a toy unicorn to keep her company during her search,as a token of appreciation.“It is always rewarding to hear from young people who thoughtfully consider the requirements of providing a loving home for animals,”Mayeda wrote in the letter.“I like your sense of responsible pet ownership to seek permission in advance to keep a unicorn in Los Angeles County.”Mayeda told The Washington Post that this is the first time the department has received a request for a license for a unicorn or any mythical creature.They were impressed with the first-grader for wanting to ask permission in the first place,and doing her research to work out how to go about that.She and her colleagues deal with a lot of “life-and-death”issues on the job,whether that’s seeing cases of animal abuseor animals hurting people or making decisions about having to put down dangerous or sick animals.So Madeline’s letter has co nsiderably brightened their spirits,and she is due to visit the department this week to discuss her unicorn license application.Safe to say,she’s in for a magical surprise.5.Why did Madeline write the letter?A.To apply to visit a unicorn.B.To learn to provide animal care.C.To ask permission to keep a pet.D.To figure out how to find a unicorn.6.What can we learn from paragraph 3?A.Her application was disapproved.B.Requirements should be met for the license.C.She was presented with a live unicorn.D.Guidance was given for her search.7.Which of the following best describes Mayeda?A.Imaginative.B.Sensitive.C.Flexible.D.Convincing.8.Why does the department think the letter “has brightened their spirits”?A.Because it is the first application letter for a pet.B.Because animal protection is a life-and-death issue.C.Because they are worn out with their daily work.D.Because they are touched with the girl’s deeds.Passage3(2023广东茂名二模)Holding the large and heavy “brick”cellphone he’s credited with inventing 50 years ago,Martin Cooper talks about the future.Little did he know when he made the first call on a New York City street from a heavy Motorola prototype(原型)that our world would come to be encapsulated on a sleek glass sheath where we search,connect,like and buy.Cooper says he is an optimist.He believes that advances in mobile technology will continue to transform lives but he is worried about risks smartphones pose to privacy and young people.“My most negative opinion is that we don’t have any privacy anymore because everything about us is now recorded someplace and accessible to somebody who has enough intense desire to get it,” the 94-year-old said in an interview in Barcelona at MWC,the Mobile World Congress,the world’s biggest wirel ess trade show,where he was getting a lifetime award.Cooper sees a dark side to the advances,including the risk to children.One idea,he said,is to have“various Internets intended for different audiences”.Cooper made the first public call from a handheld portable telephone on a Manhattan street on April 3,1973,using a prototype device his team at Motorola had started designing just five months earlier.Cooper used the DynaTAC phone to famously call his opponent at Bell Labs,owned by AT&T.It was literally t he world’s first brick phone,weighing 2.5 pounds and measuring 11 inches.Cooper spent the best part of the next decade working to bring a commercial version of the device to market.The call helped kick-start the cellphone revolution.Cooper said he’s “not crazy” about the shape of modern smartphones.He thinks they will develop so that they’ll be “distributed on your body”,possibly as sensors “measuring your health at all times”.Batteries,he said,might be replaced by human energy.The body makes energy from food,he argues,so it could possibly also power a phone.Instead of holding the phone in the hand,for example,the device could be placed under the skin.9.What does the underlined part “a sleek glass sheath” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.A smartphone.B.A Motorola prototype.C.A “brick” cellphone.D.An original cellphone.10.What is Cooper’s attitude about the future of the mobile phone?A.Most negative.B.Very subjective.C.Doubtful and disapproving.D.Optimistic but also concerned.11.What can be inferred about children from paragraph 5?A.They should be provided with a different Internet from adults.B.They should have easy access to various Internets.C.They should be introduced to different audiences.D.They should use various Internets for learning materials.12.According to Cooper,how might smartphones be powered in the future?A.By body sensors.B.By human body.C.By solar energy.D.By advanced batteries.答案：Passage1[语篇解读]本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是Jeff Jensen在医生Demetrio Aguila成立的M25 Program 的帮助下,通过参加社区服务来支付了手术费用的故事。

高考英语-阅读理解Ⅳ：篇章结构题(练)-专题练习(七)(含答案与解析)
高考英语专题练习（七）阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题（练）一、阅读理解Why college is not homeThe college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy(自主性) and the development of adult identity. However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence, during which many of today's students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.For previous generations, college was a decisive break from parental control; guidance and support needed to come from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, however, continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cellphones, e-mail and social media, have increased significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation. This process involves “trying on” new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually(在思维方面) and personally. While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges, we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered by strict debate and questioning.Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college community(群体) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behaviour and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behaviour runs up against another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by their elders. If acceptable social behaviour is too strictly defined(规定)and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behaviour that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out, particularly when there are reasons to do so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency. What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescents’ desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world. Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth.Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behaviour should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation, of the necessary tension between safety and self-discovery.1．Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?（）2．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP:Central Point P:Point Sp:Sub-point(次要点)C:Conclusion 3．【2011陕西卷,D】Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, genetically modified(GM,转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the world, mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would, is it the best solution?Despite what it promises, GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any corp. In fact, studies show that the most crown GM crop. GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report than analyzed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.Something else, however, has been on the rise, While GM seeds are expensive, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides(杀虫剂). On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. “The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But neither is true,”said Bill Christenson, President of the US National Farm Coalition.At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.As a matter of fact, scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice.3．The author develops the second paragraph mainly（）A．By classification B．by comparisonC．by example D．by process4．【2010重庆卷C】It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商)follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s from the left. Considering most of the world’s population — men and women — are right-handed, the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left?History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly righthanded servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men’s shi rts button from the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacture to offer women’s shirts that buttoned from the right. Aft er all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, sinc e anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.4．The passage is mainly developed by（）A．analyzing causesB．making comparisonsC．examining differencesD．following the time order5．【2010湖北卷B】For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this article, I’ll describe three nowin situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right.It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect.

The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激进的) than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively. Thus Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, on the other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his students went on to government service.Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life:“ Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some had more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that some had more potential to develop their reason than others did. Like Confucius, he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的) classes.For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.6．This passage is organized in the pattern of（）A．time and eventsB．comparison and contrastC．cause and effectD．definition and classification高考英语专题练习（七）阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题（练）答案1~5 CDCAC6．B高考英语专题练习（七）阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题（练）解析1．文章结构题.第一段提出论点：大学阶段应该是自我能力和个性发展的重要成长时期，然而现在成了青春期的延伸期，在此期间,很多大学生没有承担起成年人的责任，第二段分析其原因:目前这一代人，大学阶段本来应该是独立阶段，但是父母包办过多.第三、四段从学校、个人两方面谈到如何培养责任感和社交能力；第五、六段是第三、四段观点的延伸，最后一段呼吁大学应该意识到培养学生自我发展和自我规范的重要性。
