英语真题阅读理解试题及名师解析（18）It is said that in England death is pressing, in Canada inevitable and in California optional .Small wonder. Americans’life expectancy has nearly doubled over the past century. Failing hips can be replaced, clinical depression controlled, cataracts removed in a 30-minute surgical procedure. Such advances offer the aging population a quality of life that was unimaginable when I entered medicine 50 years ago. But not even a great health-care system can cure death—and our failure to confront that reality now threatens this greatness of ours.Death is normal; we are genetically programmed to disintegrate and perish, even under ideal conditions. We all understand that at some level, yet as medical consumers we treat death as a problem to be solved. Shielded by third-party payers from the cost of our care, we demand everything that can possibly be done for us, even if it's useless. The most obvious example is late-stage cancer care. Physicians—frustrated by their inability to cure the disease and fearing loss of hope in the patient—too often offer aggressive treatment far beyond what is scientifically justified.In 1950, the U.S. spent ＄12.7 billion on health care. In 2002, the cost will be ＄1，540 billion. Anyone can see this trend is unsustainable. Yet few seem willing to try to reverse it. Some scholars conclude that a government with finite resources should simply stop paying for medical care that sustains life beyond a certain age—say 83 or so. Former Colorado governor Richard Lamm has been quoted as saying that the old and infirm “have a duty to die and get out of the way ” so that younger, healthier people can realize their potential.I would not go that far. Energetic people now routinely work through their 60s and beyond,and remain dazzlingly productive. At 78, Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone jokingly claims tobe 53. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is in her 70s, and former surgeon general C. Everett Koop chairs an Internet start-up in his 80s.These leaders are living proof that prevention works and that we can manage the health problems that come naturally with age. As a mere 68-year-old, I wish to age as productively as they have.Yet there are limits to what a society can spend in this pursuit. Ask a physician, I know the most costly and dramatic measures may be ineffective and painful. I also know that people in Japan and Sweden, countries that spend far less on medical care, have achieved longer, healthier lives than we have. As a nation, we may be overfunding the quest for unlikely cures while underfunding research on humbler therapies that could improve people's lives.36. What is implied in the first sentence?[A] Americans are better prepared for death than other people.[B] Americans enjoy a higher life quality than ever before.[C] Americans are over-confident of their medical technology.[D] Americans take a vain pride in their long life expectancy.37. The author uses the example of cancer patients to show that[A] medical resources are often wasted.[B] doctors are helpless against fatal diseases.[C] some treatments are too aggressive.[D] medical costs are becoming unaffordable.38. The author's attitude to ward Richard Lamm's remark is one of[A] strong disapproval.[B] reserved consent.[C] slight contempt.[D] enthusiastic support.39. In contras to the U.S. ,Japan and Sweden are funding their medical care[A] more flexibly.[B] more extravagantly.[C] more cautiously.[D] more reasonably.40. The text intends to express the idea that[A] medicine will further prolong people's lives.[B] life beyond a certain limit is not worth living.[C] death should be accepted as a fact of life.[D] excessive demands increase the cost of health care.名师解析36. What is implied in the first sentence? 第一句话暗示什么？[A] Americans are better prepared for death than other people.美国人对于死亡的准备超过其他人。

According to the new school of scientists,technology is an overlooked force in expandingthe horizons of scientific knowledge.Science moves forward,they say,not so much through the insights of great men of genius as because of more ordinary things likeimproved techniques and tools.In short,a leader of the new school contends(声称),the scientific revolution,as we call it,was largely the improvement and invention and use of aseries of instruments that expanded the reach of science in innumerable(无数的)directions.Over the years,tools and technology themselves as a source of fundamental innovation(创新)have largely been ignored by historians and philosophers of science.The modern school that hails technology argues that such masters as Galileo,Newton,Maxwell, Einstein,and inventors such as Edison attached great importance to,and derived great benefit from,craft information and technological devices of different kinds that were usable in scientific experiments.The core of the argument of a technology-yes,genius-no advocate was an analysis ofGalileo’s role at the start of the scientific revolution.The wisdom of the day was derivedfrom Ptolemy,an astronomer of the second century,whose elaborate system of the skyput Earth at the center of all heavenly motions.Galileo’s greatest glory was that in1609he was the first person to turn the newly invented telescope on the heavens to prove that the planets revolve around the sun rather than around the earth.But the real hero of the story,according to the new school of scientists,was the long evolution in the improvement of machinery for making eyeglasses.Federal policy is necessarily involved in the technology vs.genius dispute.Whether theGovernment should increase the financing of pure science at the expense of technology or vice versa(反之)often depends on the issue of which is seen as the driving force.1.What leads to the expansion of science in terms of the new school of scientists?A.The creative ideas of the great minds.B.The scientific knowledge of the geniuses.C.The improvement of ordinary tools and techniques.D.The neglected force in scientific innovations.2.What is the nature of scientific revolution according to a leader of the new school?A.It helps to invent a series of new instruments.B.It is actually the result of the development of a series of instruments.C.It pushes the science toward a particular directionD.It has improved the techniques in innumerable directions.3.Why does modern school of scientists pay attention to the invention and improvement oftools and technology?A.Because they can be applied in scientific experiments.B.Because they are greatly admired by scientists and inventors.C.Because they are overlooked by historians and philosophers.D.Because they can be served as a source of basic innovations.4.What can be inferred from the statement“the real hero of the story,…,was the long evolution in the improvement of machinery for making eyeglasses”?A.The role of Galileo at the start of the scientific revolution was underestimated.B.Ptolemy was the first astronomer to elaborate the system of heavenly motions.C.The improved technology and machinery contributed to Galileo’s great discovery.D.Galileo proved that the sun rather than the earth is the center of the universe.5.What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph?A.The government’s decision on its finance allocation is determined by its opinion on the priority between science and technology.B.The government has developed pure science at the expense of technology.C.The government has attached more importance to technology than pure science.D.The government will no longer increase the financial support to pure science.。

These days, I walk down the steps leading toward the south end of the All England Club in Wimbledon, and still look for the Crow's Nest, a small green observation tower with an outer ladder that I used to climb on for a wide view of the grounds, but which has since been knocked down.The Crow's Nest was a particularly useful point, because it allowed a tennis writer to keep track of the action on as many as 10 outside courts at a time. At days end, reporters from different nations would share notes on what they had observed all over the grounds.Twenty-seven years later, the press room has touch screens that allow us to watch live videos from any court, and even go back to watch key moments in key matches long after they have finished. You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat. But that is a bit like spending all your time ordering room service and looking up fun facts on Wikipedia.More than at any other tennis tournament, there is also an appetite for stories that deal with the setting, the history and the traditions.If they change the price of the fish tacos (鱼肉卷饼) at the United States Open, it's not a story. If they change the price of the strawberries and cream, the signature treat at Wimbledon. It's time to email your editor using capital letters.The new retractable (可伸缩的) roof was put in place in 2009.Until then, you always had to have a rainy-day story in your notebook because there were no guarantees any matches would be played. Now tennis is a sure thing on Centre Court, which has made tennis reporters a bit less creative. But at least it guarantees us daily access to the most atmospheric place in the sport.So much has changed, but Centre Court remains true to its original spirit: more a theater than a stadium. Catching that feeling is part of covering Wimbledon, too.（1）What did the author do on the Crow's Nest in the past?A. He made friends with reporters.B. He reported on tennis matches.C. He appreciated the beautiful scenery.D. He exchanged experiences with tennis players.（2）What does the author think of the new way of covering Wimbledon?A. It lacks fun.B. It is expensiveC. It is not convenient.D. It is not quick enough （3）Why does the author mention strawberries and cream?A. To compare popular foods.B. To introduce the typical treat at Wimbledon.C. To describe people's craze for traditional dishes.D. To show the traditions of Wimbledon are an attraction.（4）What difference does the new roof make?A. Audiences have easier access to a tennis court.B. There's less fun in watching Wimbledon indoors.C. Reporters are struggling to find original material.D. rainy-day stories about Wimbledon have become history.【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）D（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。

According to The New York Times, the fire began around 6: 30 p.m. local time, when tourists urgently rushed out of the building. While Andre Finot, a spokesman for the cathedral, told The Times, that the cause of the fire is still unknown and that no one has been hurt while damage to the building appears catastrophic（灾难性的）.CNN reports that over 400 firefighters have been sent to fight the fire, but that they may be unable to save the cathedral. Built in the 12th century, Notre-Dame houses several relics important to Catholics (天主教徒).

This belonged to the whole world, and now it's disappearing."French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his sadness on Twitter. "Notre-Dame of Paris in flames," reads an English translation of his statement. "Emotion for a whole nation. Thoughts for all Catholics and for all the French.

Today is National Bike-to-Work Day. And on New YorkCity's jammed streets, people are cycling on hundreds of miles of new bike lanes. But New York's widespread efforts to make streets safer for bikes have also left some locals complaining about the loss of parking spots and lanes for cars.When the weather is good, Aaron Naparstek likes to pedal（用踏板踩）his two young kids to school on a special Dutch-made bicycle. Naparstek supports the new lane.Aaron: The bike lane on Prospect Park West is really introducing a lot of new people to the idea that it's possible to use a bike in New York City for transportation or to travel around. This is what 21st century New York City looks like.Prospect Park West is still a one-way road, but where it used to have three lanes of car traffic, now it has two, plus a protected bike lane. Supporters say that makes the road safer for everyone, including pedestrians, by slowing down cars and taking bikes off thesidewalk. But some longtime residents disagree. Lois Carswell is president of a group called Seniors for Safety. She says the two-way bike lane is dangerous to older residents who are used to one-way traffic.Lois: We wanted a lane — the right kind of lane that would keep everybody safe, that would keep the bikers safe. But we want it to be done the right way. And it has not been done the right way.Craig Palmer builds bars and restaurants in Manhattan. I was interviewing him for a different story when he brought up the bike lanes all on his own.Craig: I think the biggest problem is that Bloomberg put all these bike lanes in. You took what used to be a full street and you're shrinking it.Then there are the Hasidic Jews in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, who forced the city to remove a bike lane through their neighborhood. But polls show that the majority of New Yorkers support bike lanes by a margin of 56% to 39%. Bicycle advocate Caroline Samponaro of Transportation Alternatives calls that a mandate.Caroline: If this was an election, we would have already had our victory. The public has spoken and they keep speaking. And I think,more importantly, the public is starting to vote with their pedals.（1）What does Aaron mean by saying “This is what 21st century New York City looks like.”?A.There are hundreds of miles of new bike lanes in 21 st century New York City.B.Drivers slow down their cars and bikes are taken off the sidewalk in New York.C.It's possible to make the streets safe for pedestrians in New York.D.Bikes are used as a means of transport in 21 st century New York City. （2）According to the passage, which of the following CANNOT support the opponents of these new bike lanes?A.Drivers lose parking spots and lanes for cars.B.We took what used to be a full street so the road is broader than before.C.The two-way bike lane is dangerous to older residents.D.The removal of one bike lane through a neighbourhood in Brooklyn was not supported by the majority of New Yorkers. （3）“A mandate” in Paragraph 8 was referred to a demand or command from ________.A.the authorityB.the governmentC.the supportersD.the public（4）Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Ride on National Bike-to-Work DayB.A Bike Lane Divides New YorkersC.A New Bike Lane Appears in New YorkD.Who Wins an Election。

令人惊讶的是，这家美国电影显示了明亮的中国影像例如功夫和熊猫。
这是文化的全球化的一个很好的例子。
但有两个完全不同的对待它的态度。
有些人认为它表明了中国文化的的影响越来越大。
然而，其他人倾向于采取了相反的观点，并把它作为本土文化资源的入侵。
至于我，我倾向于采取开放的态度，对文化的全球化。
我们可以促进我们自己的文化，同时学习其他文化形式，这是对所有国家有利。
最后，重要的是要注意，每一种文化都有其自身的特点。
随着文化的全球化趋势不断发展，我们应该为我们国家的传统文化的发展和蔓延负责。
我的看法：在学好本土文化的前提下去学习其他国家的文化对民族文化的发展是十分有益的，学习他人的文化固然可取，但要尊重他人的名族文化形式，尽可能的保留其特点，我们要在中国文化全球化的基础上保护好中国文化最本质的东西，我们要对中国的民族文化的传承与发展负责。
my view of culture globalizationas is known to all, kung fu panda 2 was shown recently and soon became a hot topic in china. surprisingly, this american film shows bright chinese images such as kungfu and panda. this is a good example of culture globalization. but there are two entirelydifferent attitudes towards it. some people think it demonstrates the increasing influence of chinese culture. others, however, incline to take the opposite point of view and regard it as an invasion ofnative culture resources. as for me, i tend to take an open attitude towards culture globalization. we can promote our ownculture and meanwhile learn form other cultures, which is beneficial to allcountries. finally, it is important to note that each culture has its own characteristics. with the evolving trend of culture globalization,we should be responsible for the development and spread of our national culture tradition.。
