Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and wars. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also activities of our ancestors–or of people very different from our own–can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place. And study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than what can be found in most history books.In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented: that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly political artist. In his well-known painting The Truth of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clements Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros–as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinez–depicted these Mexican artists’ deep anger an d sadness about social problems.In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only types of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people could not read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on the church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are unholy.72. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. The way art expresses is the same all over the world.B. Art history supplies us with knowledge about everyday activities of people inthe past.C. Most typical history courses don’t cover people’s spirits.D. Art is subjective in that it will find a ready echo in our hearts.73. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Unlike Francisco Goya, Pablo Picasso and several Mexican artists expressed theirpolitical opinions in their paintings.B. History books often show the editors’ political view.C. Religious art remained in Europe for centuries the only type of art because mostpeople regarded the Bible as the Holy Book.D. Picasso was something of a political artist.74. The passage is mainly discussing ______.A. the difference between general history and art historyB. the making of art historyC. what we can learn from art historyD. the influence of artists on art history75. It may be concluded from this passage that ______.A. Islamic artists have had to create architectural decoration with pictures offlowers or geometric (几何的) formsB. history teachers are more objective than artistsC. it is more difficult to study art history than general historyD. people and stories from the Bible were painted on churches and other buildingsin order to popularize the Bible.参考答案 72—75 ADCA重庆市万州二中高三上期中期考试三、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。

2014高考英语阅读理解精英系列训练题（9）及答案【北大附中河南分校2013押题】CWhat happens inside the skull of a soccer player who repeatedly heads a soccer ball? That question motivated a challenging new study of the brains of experienced players that has caused discussion and debate among soccer players, and some anxiety among those of us withsoccer-playing children.For the study, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York selected 34 adults, men and women. All of the volunteers had played soccer since childhood and now competed year-round in adult soccer leagues. Each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed especially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year, as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions (脑震荡) in the past.Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanned, using a complicated new M.R.I. technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can’t be seen during most scans.According to the data they presented at a Radiological Society of North America meeting last month, the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory, attention and the processing of visual information, compared with players who had headed the ball fewer times.This pattern of white matter loss is “similar to those seen in traumatic (外伤的) brain injury”, like that after a serious concussion, the researchers reported, even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a concussion.The players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at recalling lists of words read to them, forgetting or fumbling the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less.63. The passage is most probably a______.A. news reportB. research reportC. story for soccer playersD. text for doctors64. In which way can we find the structural changes in the brain?A. Computerized test.B. Questionnaire..C. Scanning.D. M.R.I. technique.65. From the passage we can conclude that frequent heading may have_____.A. significant effect on brainB. little effect on one’s brainC. nothing to do with the brain injuryD. one’s memory improved66. The underlined word "fumbling" is closest in meaning to______.A. rememberingB. misunderstandingC. recallingD. missing【参考答案】63—66 BDAD第二节根据短文内容，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。

高考英语阅读理解训练题1【future】Scientists around the world have been studying the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean known as El Nino. The appearance of El Nino is known to affect the weather around the world. Scientists still do not completely understand it. Yet they now find they can use it to tell about the future in different areas of the world.One example is the work of two scientists at Columbia University in New York, Mark Cane and Gordon Eshel. A scientist of Zimbabwe, Roger Buckland worked with them. They have found that when El Nino appears, Zimbabwe has little or no rain. This means corn crops in Zimbabwe are poor. The last El Nino was in 1991 to 1993.That was when southeastern Africa suffered a serious lack of rain.The scientists wrote about their recent work in the publication Nature. Their computer program can tell when an El Nino will develop up to a year before it does. They suggest that this could provide an effective early warning system for southern Africa, and could prevent many people from starving.1.El Nino is known as ______ .A.the changing of the weather in southern AfricaB.the warming of waters in the Pacific OceanC.the weather which brings drought(旱灾)to AfricaD.the weather phenomenon(现象)that brings heavy rains to Africa 2.Scientists study El Nino in order that ______ .A.they can provide a kind of early warning to the place that will suffer from droughtB.they can tell why Zimbabwe has little or no rainC.they can do some research work in this field.D.they can put all this information into their computers.3.Which of the following is true according to the article?A.Scientists come to understand how El Nino appears.B.Three scientists from the U.S.A. work on this subject.C.Southern Africa suffered a serious drought and many people died from hunger.D.El Nino has something to do with Zimbabwe's crops.4.Which of the following is not true according to the article?A.The computer is used in this research work.B.Scientists know when an El Nino appears by means of computer program.C.The scientists published their results of the research work.D.Nature is the name of the article written recently by the scientists. 5.Choose the best title for this article.A.Appearance of El Nino Predictable(可预报的)B.Drought in ZimbabweC.Early warning systemD.Weather in Africa 答案：BADDA。
高考英语阅读理解训练附参考答案
高考英语阅读理解训练附参考答案高考英语阅读理解训练1：Life in the ClearTransparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window.These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet—as far as most light can reach.Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch.Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone.They never touch anything unless theyre eating it, or unless something is eating them.”And they are as clear as glass.How does an animal become seethrough? Its trickier than you might think.The objects around you are visible because they interact with light.Light typically travels in a straight line.But some materials slow and scatter(散射)light, bouncing it away from its original path.Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks.Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.But a transparent object doesnt absorb or scatter light, at least not very much. Light can pass through it without bending or stopping.Thatmeans a transparent object doesnt look very different from the surrounding air or water.You dont see it—you see the things behind it.To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light.Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light.But a transparent animal doesnt have pigments, so its tissues wont absorb light.According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy.The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materials—skin, fat, and more —and light moves through each at a different speed.Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters.Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering.Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat.Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be seethrough.Others build a large, clear mass of nonliving jellylike(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it.Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does.They need to look uniform.But how theyre doing it is still unknown.One thing is clear：for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process.When they die, they turn a nontransparent milky white.*大意：你见过透明生物吗?*介绍了透明的海洋生物。

And youcould b uy a Boeing 747 for the cost of a pizza.”Probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the Internet is savingcompanies in producing goods and serving for the needs of their customers.

Consider: books, health care, movie tickets, construction materials, baby clothes, stocks, cattle feed, music,electronics, antiques, tools, real estate, toys, autographs of famous people, wine and airline tickets.And even after you’ve moved on to your final resting place, there’s no reason those you love ca keep in touch. A company called offers a place for you to store “afterlifee-mails” you can send to Heaven with the help of a “guardian angel”．Kids today are so computer literate that it in fact ensures the United States will remain theunchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable(能预测的) future. Nearly all children infamilies with incomes of more than $75,000 a year have home computers, according to a study bythe David and Lucile Packard Foundation. Youngsters from ages 2 to 17 at all income levels havecomputers, with 52% of those connected to the Internet. Most kids use computers to play games(some for 30 hours or more a week), and many teenage girls think nothing of rushing home fromschool to have e-mail chats with friends they have just left.What’s clear is that, whether we l ike it or not, the Internet is an ever growing part of our livessays cyber pioneer Jakeand there is no turning back. “The I nternet is just 20% invented,” Winebaum. “The last 80% is happening now.”15.
