He was once referred to as the Picasso of poetry. Beloved by Chileans of all classes, he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history. And this year is the 100th birthday of Pablo Neruda(1904—1973)．Born with the name Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto, he was a t all, shy and lonely boy. He loved to read and started to write p oetry when he was ten. The American poet Walt Whitman, wh ose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table, became a major influence on his work.However, his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing. To cover up（掩饰） the publication of his first poem, he took the pen name P ablo Neruda.In 1924 Neruda gained fame with his most widely read work “Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair”. Yet his rich exp erience as a diplomat and exile(流亡) made him go beyond the theme of love. His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of Sout h America. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1 971.Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative, destructive a nd forever moving. He found inspiration in the power and free dom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast. “I need the s ea because it teaches me，” he wrote. “I move in the universit y of the waves.” He loved how the sea forever renewed itself,a renewal echoed in his work.1.The underlined word “Picasso”can probably be replaced by“________”．A．most important person B．famous person from Pica ssoC．freedom fighter in Picasso D．poem fans.2.

阅读理解精练10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。
（一）When I was a boy，I belonged to the Boy Scouts so I used to go camping every summer，and once something happened which I have never been able to explain.We were camping in a place above a river. After arriving，we all rushed down to the river and had a swim. Standing by the river，we noticed that it was surrounded[环绕] by cliffs[悬崖]. If someone wanted to reach the river at this point，he had to walk past our camp.Several days later，the scoutmaster had to be away for a day. That afternoon，we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire，eating and talking，when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange，but，because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid，no one said anything.We ate rather slowly，taking as long as possible. After finishing，we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the river—we stood looking at each other ashamed. Then all shouting at once，we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep[悄悄移动] down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow，we crept down towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly. He called to us that there was no one there，so we ran down to the bank，looking everywhere carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.When it got dark，we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling，he doubted that we had seen the man，but finally suggested we go and look again. We did，but there was no one there.Many years have passed，but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see？I do not know.1. The writer in the text mainly tells us _________.A. the story of his childhoodB. a strange camping experienceC. about a stranger by the riverD. about a good place for camping2. Why did the boys eat their supper slowly？A. They wanted to delay going to the river bank.B. They were sitting for their scoutmaster.C. They had a supper earlier than usual.D. They were taking while eating.3. The word “Bewildered” in the text probably means _________.A. ashamedB. nervousC. unable to understandD. eager to know something4. When he heard what had happened，the scoutmaster _________.A. realized who the man wasB. started to worry about the manC. went back to look for the manD. felt it hard to believe the boys5. The writer still remembers the event because ________.A. the boys acted foolishlyB. the camping place is beautifulC. there has been no explanation for the eventD. he particularly enjoyed his camping that summer.（二）Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii，Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for—its stadium and theatres，its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not，however，see Pompeii’s people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.Once，Pompeii was a busy city of 22000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius，a grass-covered volcano[火山]. Mount Vesuvius had not erupted[喷发]for centuries，so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.In August of AD 79，Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded，and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later，Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.For centuries，Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then，in the year 1861，an Italian scientist named Giuseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly，carefully，Giuseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains，houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all，there were everyday objects，which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom，so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread，too; metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round，flat loaves of bread—a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark，shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup.Giuseppe has died，but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging，still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.1. Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year？A. To visit the volcano.B. To shop and eat there.C. To watch sports and plays.D. To see how Pompeian’s lived.2. Why had so many Pompeian’s remained by volcanic Moun t Vesuvius？A. The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.B. The area produced the finest wine in Italy.C. Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.D. The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.3. Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79？A. Because Giuseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.B. Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.C. Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.D. Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.4. What do we know about the Pompeian’s who lived 2000 years ago？A. They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.B. They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup.C. They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.D. They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.（三）Excused from recycling because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute？You won’t be for long. Miami’s Mark Shanties has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too.In Shanties Hi-Rise Recycling System，a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated. The system，which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use，enables glass，plastic，paper，metal，and other rubbish to go into separate boxes.The system is controlled from a board fixed next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials （as well as for unrecyclable）. At the press of a button，a microcomputer locks all other floors chute door and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the no recyclables.Sorting[分类] recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting. Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive，so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted. Shanties believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost-effective.1. The purpose in writing this text is ________.A. to encourage people to recycle their rubbishB. to introduce a recycling system for high risesC. to describe the use of computer technology in recyclingD. to explain the need for rubbish collection in high rises2. When he says “You won’t be for long” the writer means that ________.A. you’ll soon be living in a cleaner buildingB. rubbish chutes will become out of date before longC. you won’t wait long for your turn to recycle rubbishD. it won’t be long before you’ll have to recycle your rubbish3. Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to ________.A lock the other floors chute doorsB. check if the container is fullC. press the correct buttonD. break up the rubbish4. The biggest advantage of this new system is that _________.A. it reduces the cost of recyclingB. it saves time and spaceC. it saves money for people living in high risesD. it makes better use of the existing recovery equipment（四）Olaf Stapleton wrote a book called First and Last Men，in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations[文明]，broken up by long “dark ages” in between. In his view，what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2，000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.However，most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred？The next thousand？The next million？That’s much more difficult.When men and women lived by hunting 50，000 years ago，how could they even begin to picture modern life？Yet to men of 50，000 years from now，we may seem asprimitive[原始的] in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. Perhaps they will spend their days rollicking to make new spindles，or struggling with their ballalators through the crib. These words，which I have just made up，have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can’t think of.So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future？Here are two reasons. First，unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history，we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live because we are careless or greedy[贪婪] or quarrelsome，our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us.Second，by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future，we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example，if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming，we can think of trying it now. So set your imagination free when you think about the future.1. A particular mention made of Staple dons book in the opening paragraph________.A. serves as a description of human historyB. serves an introduction to the discussionC. shows a disagreement of viewsD. shows the popularity of the book2. The text discusses men and women 50，000 years ago and 50，000 years from now in order to show that ________.A. human history is extremely longB. life has changed a great dealC. it is useless to plan for the next 50 yearsD. it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future3. Spindles and ballalators are used in the text to refer to ________.A. tools used in farmingB. ideas about modern lifeC. unknown things in the futureD. hunting skills in the Stone Age4. according to the writer of the text，imagining the future will ________.A. serve the interests of the present and future generationsB. enable us to better understand human historyC. help us to improve farmingD. make life worth living（五）The easy way out isnt always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug，my husband of one month，to a special meal. I glanced through my cook book and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time.I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking，I thought if a dozen was good，two dozen would be better，so I doubled everything. As Doug loved oranges，I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had been defeated，I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn’t have to face Doug laughing at my work. I went on preparing the rest of the meal，and，when Doug got home，we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside，saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left，I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out，I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin，holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house，he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in out rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again，he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast[酵母] made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing.I had to admit what the living thing？was and why it was there. I dont know who was more embarrassed[尴尬] by the whole thing—Doug or me.1. The writers purpose in writing this story is ________.A. to tell an interesting experienceB. to show the easiest way out of a difficultyC. to describe the trouble facing a newly married womanD. to explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books2. Why did the woman’s attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful？A. The canned orange had gone bad.B. She didn’t use the right kind of flour.C. The cookbook was hard to understand.D. She did not follow the directions closely.3. Why did the woman put the dough in the rubbish bin？A. She didn’t see the use of keeping it.B. She meant to joke with her husband.C. She didn’t want her husband to see it.D. She hoped it would soon dry in the sun.4. What made the dough in the bin looks freighting？A. The rising and falling movement.B. The strange-looking marks.C. Its shape.D. Its size.5. When Doug went out the third time，the woman looked out of the window because she was ________.A. surprised at his being interested in the binB. afraid that he would discover her secretC. unhappy that he didn’t enjoy the mealD. curious to know what disturbed him参考答案与解析（一）【答案与解析】这篇文章记叙了作者孩提时代一次难忘的野营经历。
高考英语练习题——阅读理解题型分类练(十)
阅读理解题型分类练(十)词句猜测题——词义猜测类A[2021·临沂市高三一模] I had moved to Japan for a longterm client consultingengagement. After a few days in a Tokyo hotel I moved to an apartment. After being moved in by my colleagues, it was time to get dinner. I found a pizza deliver flyer in my mailbox and decided to simply order a pizza as I might have the previous week in Manhattan. The phone call to Cali Pizza was easier than anticipated and while waiting for the pizza I set about unpacking.Unfortunately, after 45 minutes no pizza. I figured that my “easy” call really wasn't and that I would need to make alternate plans for dinner. While thinking about what to do next, my phone rang. It was Cali Pizza calling to say that they could not find my apartment based on the address that I had given them. Once it was determined that I had provided an incorrect address, the clerk on the phone asked me to describe what I could see from my window. After some back and forth they seemed satisfied that they knew where I was.A few minutes later the pizza arrived. This is when my “customer delight” experience took__over. First, the delivery person apologized repeatedly for being late, then he showed me the small blue metal plate on my building with the correct address, and finally he refused to accept payment for the pizza because he was late. Net result: one delighted customer(me) , and frequent orders from Cali Pizza during my twoyear stay in Japan.Such “customer delight” experiences become stories I have used to illustrate what it means to truly delight a customer.1．What did the writer do first after he moved in the apartment?A．Deliver flyers.B．Place an order.C．Call his colleagues.D．Set about unpacking.2．Why was the delivery delayed?A．The number on the flyer was inaccurate.B．The clerk was unfamiliar with the address.C．The writer provided an inaccurate address.D．The pizza was sent to a wrong address.3．Which of the following best explains “took over” underlined in Paragraph 3?A．Disappeared. B．Dominated.C．Promoted. D．Decreased.4．What can we learn from the story?A．It's never easy to settle down in a new city.B．A delayed delivery may result in good profit.C．One can't be too careful when placing an order.D．A shortterm loss of benefit may reward a lot.B[2021·潍坊市一模] A new study, published this week in the journal Frontiers inVeterinary Science, reveals that nonhuman animals' tears are not so different from our own. The chemical similarities are so great, in fact, that the composition of other species' tears—and how they're adapted to their environments—may provide insights into better treatments for human eye disease.Previously, scientists had studied closely only the tears of a handful of mammals, including humans, dogs, horses, camels, and monkeys. In the new study, Brazilian veterinarians analyzed the tears of reptiles and birds for the first time, focusing on seven species.Tears, which are released from tear tubes, form a film over the eye that's composed of three ingredients: mucus, water, and oil. The mucus coats the eye's surface and helps to attach the film to the eye, the water is a natural salty solution containing crucial proteins and minerals, and the oil prevents the eye from drying out.Humans are the only known species to produce emotional tears; the expression “crocodile tears”，which refers to a person's phony display of emotion, comes from the mysterious tendency of crocodiles to release tears as they eat.But tears play key roles beyond weeping, notes Lionel Sebbag at Iowa State University, who was not involved in the new research. They help with vision by lubricating(润滑) and clearing the eye. They also protect the eye against infection and provide nutrition to the cornea (角膜) , the eye's clear outer layer, which lacks blood tubes, he says.Learning how reptiles and birds use tears may also inspire new medications for conditions such as dry eye, which occurs when tear tubes don't produce enough oil. The disease, common in cats, dogs, and people, can sometimes lead to blindness.5．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The source of tears.B．The composition of tears.C．The classification of tears.D．The definition of tears.6．What does the underlined word “phony” in Paragraph 4 mean ?A．Tricky. B．Regretful.C．Cold. D．False.7．Which statement does Lionel Sebbag agree with?A．Weeping contributes to eye disease.B．The cornea has rich blood tubes.C．Tears oil and clear the eyes.D．More tears mean better vision.8．What might be the best title for the text?A．Tears, a barrier to eyesB．A better treatment for eye diseaseC．Nonhuman tears promise new curesD．Other species' tears are similar to humans'C[2021·湖北高三十一校第二次联考] If you were to throw, say, a banana peel out of yourcar while driving along the motorway, that would be a completely harmless action, due to the fact that it's part of a fruit—right? Actually, no. A banana peel can take up to two years to be naturallyprocessed, and with a third of motorists admitting to littering while driving, that's a whole lot of discarded banana peels. An orange peel and a cigarette butt have a similar biodegrading (生物降解) term to that of a banana peel, but tin cans last up to 100 years; and plastic bottles last forever, so do glass bottles.Despite the fact that longerlasting materials will serve to damage the environment and its animals for longer, we can't merely measure the severity of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime. For example, despite having a fairly short length of biodegrading time, more than 120 tons of cigaretterelated litter is discarded in the UK every day.It's not a cheap habit either: to keep our streets clean annually costs UK taxpayers ￡500 million, and when you include our green spaces, that goes up to ￡1 billion. So, it's not surprising that if caught flytipping you could face a ￡20，000 fine or even jail time and, if you dispose of something dangerous, the court could give you five years to serve. Regardless of how severe these punishments might seem, however, among the reported cases only 2，000 were found guilty out of 825，000, so we still have some way to go in making sure people obey the rules.9．What does the underlined word “ discarded” in Para. 1 mean?A．Harmless. B．Processed.C．Thrown. D．Longlasting.10．Which of the following has the longest biodegrading term?A．Glass bottles. B．Tin cans.C．Cigarette butts. D．Banana peels.11．What can be inferred from the passage?A．The severity of rubbish can be measured only by its lifetime.B．Quite a few people were found guilty of illegally littering.C．Every year UK taxpayers spend ￡500 million keeping streets free of dirt.D．Cigaretterelated litter and peels can be ignored for their fairly short lifetime.12．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To inform readers of different biodegrading terms.B．To call for people not to litter illegally.C．To encourage people to use fewer plastic bags.D．To stress the importance of good behavior.。

2014高考英语阅读理解抓分练习精品（10）及答案LEEDS, England—A Leeds University psychology professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies."The hate we hold within us is a cancer, " Professor Ken Hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.More than 70 people have become members in Hart's first 20-week workshop in London—a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian- born Hart.The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight.The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. "People have lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness," he said, "People confuse forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one."Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed."The main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with," said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people "want to get free of the past".36. From this passage we know that________.A. high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hateB. high blood pressure can only be cured by psychology professorsC. without hate, people will have less trouble connected with blood and heartD. people who suffer from blood pressure and heart disease must have many enemies 【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。

One windy spring day，I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites.Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds dashing and dancing in the exciting atmosphere above the earth.As the strong winds gusted against the kites，a string kept them in check.Instead of blowing away with the wind，they arose against it to achieve great heights.They shook and pulled，but the controlling string and the clumsy tail kept them in tow(牵引)，facing upward and against the wind.As the kites struggled and trembled against the string，they seemed to say，“Let me go！Let me go！I want to be free！” They flew beautifully even as they fought the forced restriction of the string.Finally，one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose.“Free at last，” it seemed to say.“Free to fly with the wind.”Yet freedom from control simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic gentle wind.It flew ungracefully to the ground and landed in a twisted mass of weeds and string against a dead bush.“Free at last”．Free to lie powerless in the dirt，to be blown helplessly along the ground，and to settle down lifeless against the first roadblock.How much like kites we sometimes are.There always exist misfortunes and restrictions，rules to follow from which we can grow and gainstrength.Prohibition is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition.Some of us pulled at the rules so hard that we never fly fast to reach the heights we might have obtained.If we keep all the commandment(戒律)，we will never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.Let us each rise to the great heights，recognizing that some of theprohibitions are actually the steady force that helps us climb and achieve. 1．In the passage the writer watched .A．many young people enjoying the sunny dayB．many birds dashing and dancing in the skyC．many young people flying multicolored kitesD．the strong winds blowing against the sky2．What enables a kite fly gracefully in the sky according to the story? A．The kite itself and strange shapes.B．A long string and blowing wind.C．A windy spring day and blue sky.D．The size of the kite and a long string.3．What didn’t happen to the freed kite?A．It kept flying freely in the air.B．It lay powerless in the dirt.C．It was trapped in a dead bush.D．It was blown helplessly around.4．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A．To give us tips on how to fly kites effectively.B．To warn us that freedom is actually powerless.C．To explain that restrictions are really unnecessary.D．To teach us a lesson that rules are important in life.1．C [细节理解题。

Scientists have often blamed this on habitat loss or pesticide（杀虫剂）use.But a new study of butterflies in the western United States has found that warmer fall weather may be an equal,if not more,of a factor.Over the past four decades,more than450butterfly species have declined at an average rate of nearly2percent a year,according to a study published in Science.It’s already known that the western monarch butterfly has plummeted in population by99.9percent and was recently denied protection by Endangered Species Act in the U.S. But the study revealed lesser-known species,like the Boisduval’s blue and California’s state insect,the California dogface butterfly,are heading toward extinction."The influence of climate change is driving those declines,which makes sense because they’re so widespread," says study leader Mathew Forister.To reach their troubling findings,the researchers combined databases of the butterfly count conducted by scientists and amateur insect enthusiasts at72locations in the western U.S.To focus on the contribution of climate change,the researchers made sure to include locations that were relatively undisturbed by agriculture and human development to limit the influence of other threats to butterflies such as habitat loss and pesticides.More than200cities across the U.S.are experiencing warmer fall seasons.In Arizona,for instance,fall temperatures have risen by0.2degree Fahrenheit every decade since1895.As for why warming falls are so harmful,it may be connected to butterflies’hibernation-like diapause(滞育）in the fall.Warmer temperatures could be forcing the insects,most of which live around a year,to stay awake longer and starve.In other words,they’re "getting old and fragile and dying sooner".Given that butterflies are key pollinators（传花粉者),such declines predict bigger problems for plants and even whole ecosystems.Forister adds,"The climate effects will almost certainly affect many other insects;including bees."And these effects will"damage"efforts to protect and restore butterfly habitat.1.What does the underlined word"plummeted"mean in Paragraph2?A.Recovered slowly.B.Decreased sharply.C.Escaped suddenly.D.Evolved rapidly.2.What did the researchers do in Paragraph3?A.They ruled out the effects of human activities.B.They tried to protect the habitat of butterflies.C.They refused to use amateurs’science data.D.They identified other threats to butterflies.3.How do warming falls affect butterflies?A.They affect butterflies’natural life cycle.B.They slow down butterflies’aging process.C.They cause butterflies to lose more habitats.D.They force butterflies to compete for survival.4.What is the main purpose of the text?A.To discuss the importance of butterfly species.B.To suggest a way to fight against climate change.C.To introduce new methods of studying butterflies.D.To present a new factor in a species population decline.解析：1.B理解词汇根据第二段第一句中的"Over the past...2percent a year"可知，在过去的40年里,450多种蝴蝶的数量以平均每年近2%的速度诚少。
2021年高考英语阅读理解一轮练（含解析）
2021年高考英语阅读理解一轮练（10）李仕才AAfter a year of examining studies concerning whether homework is effective, NYC P.S. 116 elementary school decided that math worksheets and essay assignments were actually a waste of time. In February, Principal Jane Hsu sent a letter to parents stating that the Pre-K through fifth grade students would not be given any traditional homework to encourage kids to have free time for reading, playing outside, or doing activities they enjoy."The negative effects of homework have been well established," Hsu wrote in a note to parents. "They include: children’s frustration and exhaustion, lack of time for other activities and family time and, sadly for many, loss of interest in learning."Some parents, however, disagree with the policy change, believing that a lack of focus will cause children to fall behind. Homework has been part of education from the beginning, and has increased in volume in recent years.Hsu’s advice that children should read and spend time with their families has upset some parents to the point of considering pulling their children out of P.S. 116. This group feels that homework assignments give children a goal to work toward. Others feel so strongly about the importance of homework that they have begun giving their own homework assignments to their children.An Australian Childhood Foundation survey found that 71% of Australian parents feel they do not spend enough quality time with their children mainly because of the time spent running the household or the time spent helping with homework.Education experts in Australia are saying that parents should stop helping. Doing so will give kids more independence, will give parents more free time, and will help reduce the number of homework-induced arguments in the family.While some research suggests that homework has little academic benefit for elementary students, other research shows homework can help kids develop independence, and confidence. It can also contribute to a sense of belonging or control over their lives. When parents try to help their children with homework, the assistance can take away that feeling and can also drain already exhausted working parents.1.Cancelling traditional homework is aimed at __________.A. allowing students to learn on their ownB. inspiring students to spend more time with parentsC. wishing students to seek self-developmentD. motivating students to help with housework2.What can be concluded from the 1st and 2nd paragraph?A. Jane Hsu is the first principal to cancel homework.B. Jane Hsu has done thorough research on homework.C. Jane Hsu paid little attention to students’ academic records.D. Jane Hsu knows students prefer activities to their subjects.3.Why are some parents strongly against Principal Jane Hsu?A. They have no time to give their children homework.B. They don’t think the school is responsible for their kids.C. They are afraid their kids will fall behind.D. They dislike their kids doing too many activities.4.What is the author’s attitude to parents’ helping kids wit h homework?A. Supportive.B. Indifferent.C. Ironic.D. Negative.【文章大意】这是一篇议论文，文章对是不是应该给小学生布置家庭作业进行了论述。

高考英语一轮阅读理解选练（10）【2015高考复习】阅读理解During the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another.Understandably so.Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything，from organized sports to music，dance and more.But we can overdo it，leaving our children feeling a little burnt out，and according to parent educator Diane Loisie，it’s their school work that suffers the most，“After school，if they’re busy in a number of sporting events，besides，they need to do their homework，then the time they’ll feel sleepy is in the classroom.Your child needs free time.So if you’re filling up that after school time，then it’s during the day they’re going to be taking a break.”Professor Claire McDermott agrees tha t there’s a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away.“Relaxing time is important for children.It’s time just to do the things they want to do.Children can go up to their room，or they can play around.It doesn’t loo k like productive time；parents certainly wouldn’t be saying ‘Wow，are they ever learning things now？’ But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day.It helps a child prepare for sleep，but it also helps to understand the learning that’s gone on that day.”It’s hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons.After all，many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is part of that.However，Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them.“When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything，then what we’re doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gain a skill.” So choose your children’s activities wisely.It may be one of the best things you’ve ever done for your kids and for the family drivers!【语篇解读】为了孩子的成长，父母煞费苦心，可是，这么做对孩子有益吗？艺在精而不在多，明智地为孩子选择适合他们自身的活动才是对他们最好的呵护。

These days no car show is complete without an electric car, and the 2011 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, US, which ran from January 10 to 23, was no exception.Among the fully electric vehicles on display were the Ford Focus Electric and the Honda Fit EV. BMW and Volvo also had prominent displays at the show, proving that they can produce practical, yet spacious family-oriented electric cars.Industry insiders at the show claimed that more efficient batteries, improved performance and greater consumer acceptance could make 2011 the “year of electric car”.It’s long been clear that electric cars score heavily for convenience. They are, for instance, much easier to maintain than gasoline-powered cars. When the battery runs out, you simply replace it or recharge it, just like you would for a cell phone or a laptop.This is also a much cheaper method than filling your tank with gasoline. Better yet, electric cars don’t emit exhaust fumes. As a result, they don’t produce environmentally damaging greenhouse gases.It appears that improved technology is making electric cars and their maintenance much more user-friendly. So, what are the obstacles which are preventing electric cars from becoming popular and fashionable?Home charging for electric cars could be extremely convenient for users. However, it is also a potential obstacle. For a start, installing charging stations in owners’ homes will be a challenge, particularly for those who have to park several blocks away from their homes.Also, charging the car’s battery still takes quite a long time. It may be some time yet before you can recharge an electric car in the same time as you can refill your gas tank.Another problem is that many electric vehicles have limited ranges that may only allow for journeys of 50 miles (80 km) or less between charges. In cases where a driver wishes to charge the car primarily at home (perhaps overnight), this limits their daily driving to the range of their vehicle.This may be one reason why hybrid cars are now becoming more popular. A hybrid car has more than one energy source, usually a traditional gasoline fuel tank and an electric battery. It’s like a more practical version of an electric car: It’s greener than a conventional vehicle, with fewer CO2 emissions, yet it also doubles as a conventional vehicle.“I would say that hybrid is a transition to fully electronic,” Road and Track magazine editor Richard Horman told Detroit News during the show. “The trend is for lighter, smarter, more economical cars. Of course, electronic vehicles are meant to be that way.”This sounds promising, particularly in light of the fact that the show featured more electric cars from big manufacturers than ever before.However, it seems that the technology associated with electric cars is not yet able to fully meet people’s expectations. Don’t expect gasoline-powered cars to disappear from roads just yet.5. What made electric cars more convenient?A. Easier maintenance.B. High scores on the show.C. Practicality and large space.D. Much lower prices.6. Which of the following could NOT act as a potential obstacle of electric cars?A. It is rough work to install charging stations at home.B. It is time-consuming to charge the batteries.C. The ranges between charges are limited.D. There’s no need to fill the tank with petrol.7. In Paragraph 10, the underlined word “hybrid” is probably closest in meaning to ________.A. gasolineB. electricC. combinedD. separated8. The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is to_________.A. introduce the 2011 Auto Show in USB. get readers informed of electric carsC. comment on different types of carsD. advertise for electric cars【参考答案】5—8、ADCB阅读理解---------COne Day Tour: Great Wall & Summer PalaceOverview: You will visit the famous Badaling Great Wall and Summer Palace in one day.Tour Description and Itinerary (行程)One day Private Tour or Coach Tour: Depart everydayStart from 8:30 am to around 6:00 pm, flexible schedule for private tour.Itinerary:Pick you up from hotel on departure time, then drive to the famous Badaling Great Wall, which is 60 miles away from downtown about one and a half hour driving.
