高一英语阅读理解强化训练Day 30Passage 1Recently, the TV show Where Are We Going, Dad? has become one of China's most popular TV shows, attracting more than 600 million viewers each week.In this program, five celebrity (名人) fathers traveled to six countryside locations across China, including some villages in Beijing, Yunnan, Shandong, Hunan, Heilongjiang and a desert in Ningxia.They took care of their kids without the help of the kid's mothers. At the same time, they also took part in different kinds of activities with their kids together, such as cooking, fishing and selling goods.Why is the show so popular? "It reflects (反应) social reality. In big cities, fathers are always busy earning money and making achievements in their career. They don't spare more time with their kids. " said Xie Dikui, general director of the show. As the father of a 3-year-old daughter, Xie said that he found his own heart being touched as he made it. "Although these fathers are busy, they are able to spare time for their kids. We can do better than them. "This also happens in some rural areas in China. More and more men from rural areas are now working in big cities, leaving their kids at home under the Grandparents' care. "I have a son and a daughter in my hometown. " said Xu Canyong, a 33-year-old man working in Shantou, Guangdong Province. "They come to live with me only during summer and winter vacations. I miss them very much. I want to have them live with us in Shantou, but the cost of living here is too high. " said Xu.1. The TV show Where Are We Going, Dad? is popular mainly because ________ .A. the five fathers are all famous starsB. there are many beautiful sights in itC. Xie Dikui is a popular director in ChinaD. it reflects the problems about family education2. The underlined word "This" in Paragraph 4 refers to ________ .A. the TV show Where Are We Going, Dad?B. the fact that fathers have less time with their kidsC. the trip of five celebrity fathers with their kidsD. the relationship between Xie Dikui and his daughter3. Xu Canyong can't live with his two kids in Shantou because ________ .A. he can't afford to live there togetherB. he has no time to look after his kidsC. Shantou is too far from his hometownD. his kids are used to living with their grandparents4. From this passage, we may infer ________ .A. fathers will raise the kids instead of mothersB. the five celebrity fathers will give up their own jobsC. in some rural areas, more and more kids live with their grandparentsD. Mr Xu often goes back to his hometown during summer and winter vacationsPassage 2You've probably heard about sports coaches, fitness coaches, voice and musicteachers, career counselors, psychiatrists(精神病医师) and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life.But there's a rapidly growing kind of professional who does a little bit of everything. She or he is called a "life coach". People who are at crossroads in their lives, and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost, are turning to them for help.The idea that one person's success story can change other people's lives for the better goes back at least to the 1930s. Dale Carnegie's famous self-improvement program "How to Win Friends and Influence People" came along soon thereafter.But this new style of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers or writers. They use their own experiences in business, sports, military service, or psychotherapy (心理疗法)to help others make critical life decisions.They often give their approach a slogan, such as "energy coaching" or "fearless living" or "working yourself happy".Dave Lakhani in Boise, Idaho, for instance, works with salespeople to develop what he calls a "road map". He says an ongoing relationship with a coach is like having a personal fitness trainer for one's career and life outside work.Lakhani's Bold Approach coaching firm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but successful—including battered women and struggling single mothers.But others in the so-called "helping professions" are not thrilled about the life-coaching movement. They say that anyone, trained or untrained, can call himself orherself a life coach, and that slick(华而不实的) promoters who mess with people's lives can do more harm than good.1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? ________A. Working Yourself HappyB. Life Coaches Help with Tough DecisionsC. How to Cope with Daily Life with Life CoachesD. The Life-Coaching Movement2. The underlined phrase "life coach" in Paragraph 2 means "________ ".A. The career counselor who teaches skillsB. The psychiatrist who helps us cope with daily lifeC. The fitness coach who teaches us lessonsD. The specialist who helps us make important life decisions3. The last paragraph is mainly about ________.A. the introductions of life coachB. the disagreements of life coachC. the effects of life coachD. the experiences of life coach4. What is the author's attitude towards life coaches? ________A. CautiousB. ApprovingC. CasualD. DisapprovingPassage 3If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how "foolish" the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take "petty advantages". But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real "gentleman".In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?1. We can know from the passage that in Finland ________ .A. both hotel guests and outside diners are served food free of chargeB. big hotels provide meals for all kinds of dinersC. guests can't enjoy free food even if they stayed in the hotelD. big hotels are mostly poorly managed2. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? ________A. Generally speaking, in Finland, workers can get more pay by working long hours.B. The bosses are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.C. The workers are always honest with their working hours.D. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.3. The underlined word "those" in the 5th paragraph probably refers to people ________ .A. who often take taxisB. who often have meals in big hotelsC. who are dishonestD. who are on guard against others4. It can be concluded that ________ .A. Finnish people are really foolish in daily lifeB. Finland has been a good place for cheatsC. the Finnish society is of very high moral levelD. all the Finns are rich and therefore honestPassage 4This summer, I went to Sports Camp with my little brother, Charlie. When we hiked to the pond, I was the only one who didn’t jump in. “Can’t you swim, Brandon?” asked Henry. I can, but after you've seen pond water under a microscope(显微镜), you’re less eager to cool off in it.Tonight after sundown, we’re playing Capture the Flag. The campers are divided into two teams, Blue and Red. Each team hides a flag, then has an hour to find and take the other team’s flag. Charlie and I are on the Blue team. When Kenneth, our team captain, asks who wants to scout out the Red flag. My brother raises his hand.Charlie goes with a bunch of boys from our team. The rest of us stay behind to guard our flag, which we've hidden in a nearby tree. Soon, Charlie is back, his face as red as paint. “All the others were caught. But I saw their flag!” he pants. “Inside the door of the director’s cabin!”Kenneth waves us over. “Time’s running out. Any ideas?”“I’ll stay with Charlie and Isaiah and guard our flag, ” offers Henry.Kenneth points to Marshall and me. “let’s go. ” he says.We run through the woods. Unluckily, two boys from the Red team noticed Kenneth and Marshall, and they were caught. I hide behind a tree and try to figure out which cabin is the director’s.A whistle sounds, and my heart beats fast. Only five minutes left! No time to checkevery cabin. Which one is the right one? Suddenly, I smell something familiar. The director's after--shave! I’m sure of it.I climb up the steps and open the door. The flag!“Get him!” Someone shouts.I grab the flag and race for our home base. Two boys from the Red team are right behind me. I reach our home base just before I hear the final whistle blow loud and long. Blue wins!1. Why doesn’t the writer want to swim in the pond?A. He can’t swim.B. The weather is not hot.C. The water is not clean.D. The pond is too deep.2. What does the underlined phrase “scout out” mean in paragraph 2?A. Figure out.B. Search for.C. Set up.D. Go through.3. Which one of the following was caught by the Red team?A. Brandon.B. Henry.C. Marshall.D. Isaiah.4. What is the best title of the text?A. Capture the FlagB. Sports CampC. A Great SuccessD. An Unforgettable ExperiencePassage 5This service is operated by BBC Studios Distribution Limited.

高一英语阅读理解专题训练（带答案）（英语）一、完型填空1．This year my husband and I decided to have a quiet, low-key New Year's Eve. We wanted to spend it with our kids and other immediate family and make it a special 1 for them, instead of 2 a babysitter and going out on our own. The logical way to do this was through 3 . As we all know, food had a magical way of making; a night 4 , and our New Year's Eve certainly 5 that way, thanks to doughnuts(甜甜圈).I decided to make doughnuts because my cousins had 6 a batch(一批) on Halloween and I found it very 7 . I used a recipe from the 1976 Mennonite cookbook More With Less and it 8 a curious ingredient---two cups of mashed potatoes that 9 made the texture lighter. The doughnuts were 10 and cut from a sheet of dough(生面团), then left to rise until ready to fry in hot oil. Then they took several seconds to 11 , which meant that my enormous batch of 100 doughnuts was 12 cooking in a fairly short time. We glazed(浇上浆液) the tops and then 13 them for the rest of the evening. The leftovers disappeared at breakfast.This will become an annual 14 , I have no doubt.

But as I built strength, my friends 1 me to step up my training and try some longer trips. The first one to come along was a 150-mile trip, the MS-150, an annual 2 that raises money to fight AIDS.When I registered, the idea seemed fantastic and I trained with 3 . However, as the time for the ride approached, my self-doubts 4 beyond my endurance (忍耐). I 5 wanted to raise money for the charity, but I didn't really want to bike all those miles for two days straight.The ride began on a beautiful Sunday morning in the Georgia countryside, and for the first few hours I felt 6 .This was just the experience I had 7 ，and my spirits were high. 8 by the end of the day, I felt tired out.If the body is 9 to the mind, here was evidence. Every 10 my brain pushed out seemed to travel right down to my leg s. “I can't handle this” became a leg cramp (抽筋), and “Everyone else is a better rider” translated into 11 of breath.

They waited worriedly at their desks for the test to begin. The professor 1 the question papers, with the paper facing down as usual. After he gave them all out, he asked his students to 2 the paper and begin. To everyone's surprise, there were no 3 , just a black dot in the center of the page.

But all of these features are already available in smart phones from China’s Huawei and Oppo, and Korea’s Samsung. While Apple asks buyers to pay $1,000 for its high-end model, some Asian phone makers can offer similar features for less.At one time, Chinese manufacturers copied features and designs from others to produce low-cost phones. But they have now added high-end features to their phones and they control nearly half the global mobile phone market.Media MarktSaturn is Europe’s biggest electronics seller. A spokesperson for the store told Reuters that,“Huawei is seen as a relevant competitor to Apple and Samsung by covering all major price points and placing big investments in marketing and sales. ’’ She also said that the Chinese companies Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo and TCL were among the top-10 best-selling smart phones in its stores.Chinese manufacturers’ fast growth has been fueled by strong sales in China. But they now export 40 percent of their smart phones. That is almost double the number from just three years ago, according to the Hong Kong investment company CLSA.Huawei is currently the world’s third largest phone maker behind Samsung and Apple. According to research company Canalys, the Chinese company is getting closerto second-place Apple and might overtake it later this year. Huawei plans to show its top-of-the-line Mate 10 phone on Oct. 13.

He was very wise and forward-thinking. He worked out several reform plans for the state, including focusing onfarming and giving rewards to soldiers who were successful during war.But at the beginning, these reforms were not easily carried out. Only a few people in the state understood Shang's talent and the advantages of his plans. Most people had little trust and confidence in him.To solve this problem, Shang came up with an idea. He ordered some soldiers to put a thin wooden pole at the south gate of the Qin state capital. This attracted many people. Then, in front of the crowd, he said loudly: "People of Qin, whoever takes this pole to the north gate will get a reward of 10 gold pieces. "It was a simple task and the reward was big. Some time passed and no one stepped forward. They all thought that Shang was joking. Hearing no answer, Shang stepped forward and said, "I will increase the reward to 50 gold pieces. "The words sounded even more unbelievable. Finally, a man from the crowd came forward to take the pole. He put the pole on his shoulders and walked to the north gate. True to his word, Shang paid the man 50 gold pieces.Soon, the people were saying that Shang was a man of his word. When he began promoting (推行) his reforms, the people followed and did not question him.Under the great reforms Qin grew strong and united all the states, becoming the first empire of China.

A study said this equals 338 hours a year, or just over 14 days, three wholedays more fun time than their own fathers spent with them.The report said modern parents are "adventurous", as many encourage their children to play outside. A third of parents also prefer family trips which encourage children to learn new still and most say that having fun together improves family ties. The study said the lack of time that today's parents shared with their own dads encouraged them to be more active with their children.Dr. Amanda Gummer, psychologist and founder of Fundamentally Children, a company which provides advice on child development, said being adventurous helps children. She said, "Being adventurous from an early age helps children develop important skill that will as throughout childhood and set them up for a healthy and successful adulthood. “Outdoor activities are a popular choice for dads and their children, with 40 percent choosing nature trails and 26 percent looking for wildlife, while 13 percent say their top outdoor activity is climbing trees. The simple things are the most popular, with 46 percent going to the park and 41 percent choosing to kick a ball around their children.Dr. Gummer said, "Children are able to challenge themselves by being more adventurous and they can be safe in the knowledge that their dad will be there to help if things start getting out of control. Parents can help encourage their children's adventurous, outdoor spirit with wildlife treasure hunts and adventure playgrounds. They can even do more exciting things, like going on camping trips. "1. From the first paragraph, we can learn that modem fathers spend ________ a year on average playing with their children.A. three whole daysB. more than 14 daysC. 338 daysD. six and a half hours2. As for outdoor activities, which activity is most likely to enjoy popularity among dads and their children? ________A. climb treesB. look for wildlifeC. go to the parkD. Kick a ball around3.

What's the main idea of the passage? ________A. How children can be adventurousB. What activities fathers can do with their childrenC. Today's fathers should play more with their childrenD. Today's fathers are spending more time playing with their childrenPassage 4A small town in southwest Britain is banning plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut waste—a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.Shopkeepers in Modbury, population 1, 500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bagswould be offered instead.Last month, San Francisco became the first U. S city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty (宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for recycling.The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking. who saw the effect of bags on marine life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response (反应) in the town so far had been "really positive"."Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway, " Hosking told Sky News Television.The Worldwatch Institute, an environment research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 are used yearly around the world.1. What was Rebecca Hosking? ________A. lawyer.B. An environmentalist.C. A sailor.D. A photographer.2. The underlined word "disposable" in the passage probably means ________.A. acceptableB. valuableC. throw-awayD. long-lasting3. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bagsB. fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the worldC. San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the worldD. most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags4. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? ________A. Environment ProtectionB. Big Cities Banning Plastic BagsC. Effect of Plastic Bags on Sea AnimalsD. British Town Banning Plastic BagsPassage 5Eating out is such a pleasure ― the food, the wine, the joy of having it all brought to you by someone else ― that it's a pity to ruin the experience by sharing it with other people.Well, I do like visiting restaurants with friends. But dining out alone has its own very special attractions. For a start you can give all your attention to the food. There's nothing worse than having to invent and deliver an opinion on school league tables orSanchez's move to Manchester United, plus listen to everyone else's opinions, when all you really want to do is enjoy each mouthful along the way.A second great thing about eating out alone is the chance to combine food with one of life's other true pleasures: reading. You have to plan this carefully: Indian or Chinese restaurants are best ― you need food you can eat with just one hand, leaving the other free to hold your reading material.But perhaps the biggest attraction of a table for one is the chance it gives to people-watching. Restaurants and the different reasons for visiting them ― first date, business meeting, night out with friends ― produce human behavior of surprising richness and variety. Will the man selling his business idea get any joy out of his possible investor (投资者)? Will the married couple think of anything to say to each other before their main courses arrive?This "human zoo" part of eating out alone is one of the reasons I'd hate to be famous: everyone would be watching you, so you wouldn't be able to watch them. The snooker player Steve Davis says this was one of the strangest consequences (后果) of becoming well-known: he got very worried about his eating in public, almost to the level of doubting whether he was "doing it right. "So next time you're considering your eating out choices, remember the advice of the businessman Nubar Gulbenkian: "The best number for a dinner party is two ― myself and a super head waiter. "1. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The reasons for eating out alone.B. The trouble with eating in public.C. The suggestions about dining out.D. The fear of making dining choices.2. What is the best part of dining out alone?A. One can fix one's eyes on the food.B. One can enjoy reading while eating.C. One is likely to come across famous people.D. One is given the chance to watch other diners3. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 5?A. Steve Davis cared too much about table manners.B. Famous people are always the center of attention.C. Being famous may ruin the joy of eating out alone.D. Being watched seems far better than watching others.4. What is suggested at the end of the text?A. Dining with friends.B. Chatting over dinner.C. Having a table for one.D. Sharing a table with a waiter.参考答案Passage 11. D主旨大意题。

That was just the case for Amie Mickey when she 1 a bumper sticker (车尾贴) on her car reading: You Matter.Amie started to do this several years ago. At first, she wondered if people would 2 it. However, much to her surprise, she began seeing a flood of 3 every time she hit the road. More often than not, people 4 slowly near her car would roll down their windows, raising their 5 , waving and smiling. Sometimes, she even found some sticky notes left on her windshield saying things like “You 6 too!” Once while she was driving down the highway, she became 7 when a man driving a sports car at a high speed pulled his car alongside suddenly, waving and mouthing, “You matter!” Though it took her some time to recover from the 8 , she still felt happy. Last year, someone 9 her car while she was waiting for her friend in the car by the roadside, saying to her, “It is a(an) 10 sticker. I’ve seen various stickers before, but none of them have touched me as your sticker has done.” The two small words on the sticker seem simple enough, but they really struck a chord with many complete strangers who 11 to catch sight of the sticker.Stories like Amie’s really 12 the rest of us. Sometimes a kind word or gesture may lift our 13 and it doesn’t cost a thing except for a little extra thought.

I 14 my back pocket for a paper towel I had there, tore out the nest and stepped on it while the 15 wasps (黄蜂)buzzed around me. 16 of the ladies thanked me excitedly. I smiled, and nervousness and fear were replaced with 17 .In this life, you can't let the fear of being stung either physically or 18 keep you from doing what is right.

The only 1 I got familiar with university was listening to my children talk about their class and all the interesting things they were 2 . University was just a life-long 3 of mine. I just turned sixty-four yearsold in September. I still thought about that old dream 4 one day when there was an Advanced-Age programme at the local university, I decided to 5 .The day finally arrived—my first day of school. As I 6 there, my mind was filled with negative thoughts, “What am I doing? I’m not smart enough to go to un iversity. The 7 will laugh when they see me in class. I probably won’t live long enough to get a 8 . Maybe I should just turn the car around and go home. ”Then, suddenly, I saw it!A large billboard on the side of the road with a picture of Kermit the Frog.I 9 a little and read the words next to his picture. “Live your dreams. ” Was Kermit speaking to me? I didn’t turn the car around.I drove a little further on up the highway and there was another 10 . This one had a picture of Albert Einstein with his tongue 11 out. A line read, “As a student, he was no Einstein.” And there was a word in red, “Confidence”. A new attitude was 12 inside me.I was now 13 the gate of the university and there stood still another billboard. This one showed a photograph of a proud 14 in a cap and gown. Under the picture was her 15 , Nola Otis, aged 95. Oldest University Graduate. Below it was the words, “Live Life”.

Week by week her list grew: I was very thin; I wasn’t a(n) 2 student; I talked too much; I was too 3 , always feeling superior to(胜过) others, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. 4 , I became very angry. I ran to my father with 5 in my eyes.He 6 to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever 7 what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s 8 . Go and 9 a list of everything she said and mark the points that are 10 . Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did 11 he told me. To my great 12 , I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t 13 (like being very thin), but a good number I could, and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I went to a fairly 14 picture of myself.I brought the list back to daddy. He 15 to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know 16 than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to 17 , not just close your ears in 18 , feeling hurt when something said about you is true. You’ll find it of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your affairs. Don’t 19 your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”Daddy’s advice has always 20 me at many important moments.

I looked over at one edge of the quilt being sewed and saw a piece of thread 2 . Without thinking I reached over to 3 it.“No!” yelled my mum. I jumped back. That was the first time I can ever remember her yelling at me. Seeing the 4 look on my face, she smiled and 5 showed me why she had yelled. That piece of thread 6 in and out, making its way from one end of the quilt to the other. If I had pulled it out, I might have torn the entire quilt and 7 hours of work.As I look back on that 8 today, I can see that each of our lives is like that 9 . We are all just a 10 string in the tapestry (挂毯) of life. We can’t always 11 where we are going or what we are connected to. If we pull ourselves out of it, we will leave a 12 in it.Don’t feel lost in the tapestry of life then. Embrace your 13 in it.

Yet 1 our similarities, no two people are exactly the same. Even identical twins 2 different life experiences. Just because of these 3 , the "one size fits all" solution will not be the most 4 answer to our problems.One of my life 5 is to find what works for me best, and forget the rest. Just that something works well for someone else, doesn't 6 mean that it will work well for me too. I have found that I am successful when I 7 any new method or strategy I learned to deal with my 8 situation.A perfect example of why it's best to find what works for you is when it 9 to trying to pick a diet and an exercise plan. There are 10 diet plans and exercise programs out there to11 from, and it can be quite overwhelming(令人不知所措的). When choosing a 12 plan you have to consider food allergies, how portable the food is if you are away from home most of the time, and many other 13 . When choosing an exercise program you have to consider your starting level of fitness, and health issues that might adapt your ability to do the program, and 14 you actually enjoy the exercise enough to 15 with it. Many people like jogging, but it is probably my least 16 form of exercise. By finding more suitable and enjoyable alternatives（供替代的选择）that give me the same 17 or better, it is easier to stick with my exercise program. You 18 yourself better than anyone, so don't be 19 to experiment with different solutionsto whatever you are trying to achieve.

高一英语阅读理解强化训练Day 39Passage 1Four "Fun facts" that are complete lies, but you believe themNo. 1 You can see the Great Wall of China from spaceThis seems right, doesn't it? The Great Wall of China is huge, after all, and you can see large things from far away. But even from a low orbit, it's pretty much invisible(看不见的) to the naked eye, and not exactly easy to pick out with an advanced camera lens. Strangely, this myth(谬论) existed before we even went into space, so it had the opportunity to become a "fact" before it could even be checked. There are many other man-made objects visible from space, but because the Great Wall is made from rocks gathered in the surrounding area, it doesn't stand out against the landscape enough to be visible. How Stuff Works helpfully suggests that China could paint the wall in hot pink to fix the matter.No. 2 Einstein failed at schoolEinstein, the modern archetypal genius(天才), failing at school is a "fact" which serves as an encouragement to under-performing schoolchildren and is repeated by motivational speakers wanting to make some point about failure and success. It would be fairly comforting if true, but reality doesn't tend to care about how comfortable you are. There are versions of this myth focusing on maths, but in either case, it's just not true. The myth seems to result from the fact that the grading system used in his school was changed the year after he left—from 1 being the highest mark to 6 being the highest. Einstein got 1s, but to anybody looking back at his grades, it would seem like that meanthe'd failed.No. 3__________________Many people claim that if you wake someone when they're sleepwalking, the shock of finding themselves not in bed will lead them to suffer a heart attack or otherwise do some serious damage. In actual fact, waking somebody who is sleepwalking does them no harm whatsoever. They might be a little confused. In fact, they could hurt themselves by continuing to sleepwalk freely, for obvious reasons. So, it's better to guide a sleepwalker back to bed without waking, but if you do wake him, it won't do any harm.No. 4 Sharks don't get cancerThis fact has gained acceptance despite having merely been invented as a reason for selling people shark cartilage pills as a cancer cure. Firstly, even if it was true that sharks didn't get cancer, that wouldn't mean that using a part of it was a cure or treatment for cancer. There were some initial positive results, but they were also gained with other animal cartilages and didn't translate into a reliable treatment. In short, eating shark cartilage pills does nothing for cancer patients. And to pile more stupidity on top of it, sharks clearly do get cancer.1. Why are we unable to see the Great Wall directly in space? ________A. The colour of the rocks is not hot pink.B. Advanced cameras are not employed.C. It's too small to stand out from far away.D. The Great Wall is made from nearby rocks.2. What does the underlined sentence in No. 2 mean? ________A. Failure is the mother of success.B. Reality has something to do with fantasy.C. Success and failure should be both experienced.D. Assumption is one thing, but reality is another.3. Which of the following may be the subtitle of No. 3? ________A. Sleepwalkers might be at a lossB. Sleepwalkers might attack othersC. Waking sleepwalkers will harm themD. Waking sleepwalkers will shock them4. Who are more likely to benefit from the lie "Sharks don't get cancer"? ________A. Drug providers.B. Health advisors.C. Cancer patients.D. Shark researchers.Passage 2Mini Book ExcerptsBiographyWhen Salinger learned that a car park was to be built on the land, the middle-aged writer was shocked and quickly bought the neighboring area to protect it. The townspeople never forgot the rescue and came to help their most famous neighbor.J. D. Salinger: A Life by Kenneth Slawenski（Random House, 27）Mystery"You're a smart boy. Benny's death was no accident, and you're the only who sawit happen. Do you think the murderer should get away with it? " The boy was starting at his lap again.A thought suddenly occurred to Annika, "Did you …You recognized the man in the car, didn't you? "The boy hesitated, twisting his fingers, "Maybe. " he said quietly. Red Wolf by Liza Marklund (Atria Books, 25. 99)Short StoriesShe wants to say to him what she has learned, none of it in class: Some women are born stupid, and some women are too smart for their own good. Some women are born to give, and some women only know how to take. Some women learn who they want to be from their mothers, some who they don't want to be. Some mothers suffer so their daughters won't. Some mothers love so their daughters won't. You Are Free by Danzy Senna (Riverhead Books, 15)HumorDo your kids like to have fun? Come to Fun Times!

The readers would most probably learn from the book Red Wolf that ________ .A. the boy helped catch the murdererB. Benny died of an accidentC. the murderer got away with the crimeD. Annika carried out the crimePassage 3Diet may affect agingFor many years, humans have tried to find the secret to staying young. Although it has yet to be discovered, we may be closer than ever to finding a way that can slowdown the aging(衰老) process.A recent study by researchers from Duke University in the US found that cutting one's daily intake(摄入) of calories could slow down biological aging, which means you might be able to keep your youthful looks a little longer. Previous research has shown that calorie restrictions(限制) slow aging in fires and mice. So research wondered if it could have the same effect on people.To find out, Daniel Belsky and her team examined data from a study by the National Institute on Aging, based in the US. During the two-year study, 145 people in the restriction group cut their calorie intake by 25 percent. At the same time, 75 people in the control group keep their normal diets. At the start of the study, the two groups had no difference in biological age. The average participant(参与者) was 38 years old, with a biological age of 37. However, after each 12-month period, participants in the restriction group saw an increase in biological age by an average of 0. 11 years. Those in the control group saw a rise by an average of 0. 71 years.The researchers believe the difference between these groups shows that cutting calories does slow biological aging.Although they didn't explain the reason behind this, researchers at Brigham Young University in the US explained after they had a similar study on mice. They believe fewer calories slow down a mechanism(机制) in cells(细胞) called the ribosome(核糖体), at least in mice. The mechanism is responsible for making vital proteins(蛋白质) in cells, but with fewer calories it slows down, giving it more time to repair itself.The ribosome is like a car, and it needs to replace the parts that wear out the fastestfrom time to time, according to John Price, a biochemistry professor at Brigham Young University. "When tires wear out(磨损), you don't throw the whole car away and buy new ones. It's easier to replace the tires. " Price said.But this doesn't mean that people who want to look younger should miss meals, especially given the study's early stage, Price explained.1. The purpose of the research was to________A. invent technology that keeps people young and healthy.B. find the most effective way to control calories intake.C. explain why people have to keep a normal diet.D. test the effect of calories restrictions on aging.2. Which of the following is TRUE about the experiment? ________A. Some participants were asked to cut the amount of food they meals.B. There is a bigger increase in the biological age of the control group.C. All the participants of the two groups were of the same age at the start.D. Flies and mice were used to compare with the results of the human test.3. We can infer from the text that________ .A. those who want to stay young are not advised to miss mealsB. people should keep a record of the energy they burn every dayC. we could slow our biological aging by changing our eating habitsD. keeping a balance diet is not as difficult as people have imaginedPassage 4Winners ClubYou choose to be a winner!The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers.

The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not haveenough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.1.

高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 233Passage 1Do you have a spare room in your house? What about a driveway for your car? Both of these can help you make money. Many people who are feeling the pinch are taking advantage of what’s been called the “sharing economy”.Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb---an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers. It says it operates in 34,000 cities and it has over 1,500,000 listings. It seems to have concerned the market!A British company is doing something with parking spaces. JustPark’s founder, Anthony Eskinazi, says, “When I had the original idea, Ispotted a driveway close to a sports stadium. It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in commercial car park.” And he has a big clientele（客户）:around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the site, and he says around half a million drivers use it. There are other sites doing very similar things, like Uber and Lyft---these let drivers share their cars with other passengers. Any driver knows how valuable a place to park is. A church near Kings Cross in central London has apparently made over £200,000 by renting out space in its yard to travelers!Because this is a new business world, those rules aren’t there yet and many people are happy to share.. . as long as it pays!But the sharing economy has its critics: the competitors of these new companies. People who run things like traditional B&B, commercial car parks and taxi services areafraid of ending up out of pocket. And there is another issue: regulations on these new business are unclear. How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbor?1. What does the underlined phrase “feeling the pinch” probably mean?A. Lacking in moneyB. Full of curiosityC. Willing to help othersD. Unsatisfied with their life2. Who may be against the sharing economy?A. A taxi driver who can’t find a a parking placeB. A priest in the church near Kings CrossC. A traveller who needs accommodationD. A well-known high-end holiday hotel3. Why are many people pleased to share according to paragraph 4?A. They can gain huge profitsB. They needn’t pay any feeC. There are few rules to limit themD. The new business has no risks4. Which of the following words can best describe the booming business?A. Creative and developedB. Competitive but unpracticalC. Effective and worryingD. Traditional and acceptablePassage 2I got my first driver's license in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in Baltimore, Maryland. Two weeks before my 20th birthday, Henry drove me to the motor vehicleoffice on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina driver's license, ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21. "Mr. Henry Smith, your husband, will have to sign for you, " he said.I argued, pointing to a very large belly(肚子) of mine, "I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive? "He answered coldly. "It's the law, madam. "Henry encouraged me to calm down, just go ahead and get the license and be done with it. "No, " I said. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left without a Maryland license.I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle office and renewed my NC license by mail—using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland, and I had to take the Maryland driver's exam. Since then I just go in and renew every four years—sign the name Susan Brown, have my new picture taken, and walk out with a license to drive.1. Susan got her first driver's license ________ .A. before she got married to HenryB. when she was twenty years oldC. after she finished high schoolD. when she just moved to Maryland2. Susan failed to renew her license the first time in Maryland because________ .A. she was forbidden to drive by Maryland lawB. she lacked driving experience in MarylandC. she was to give birth to a baby soonD. she insisted on signing for herself3. We can infer from the text that in the U. S. ________ .A. American males should serve in the armyB. different states may have different lawsC. people have to renew their licenses in their home statesD. women should adopt their husbands' family names after marriagePassage 3In Europe, many people make friends between their countries through town twinning. Town or city twinning means two towns in different countries agree and decide to become "twins" with a sister city relationship.The people find pen friends in the twin town. They exchange newspapers and stamps. The school teachers discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town. Officials visit the twin town for celebrations. Ordinary people travel to the twin town, too, but not very often if it is far away.Sometimes, schools even exchange their classes for two or three weeks! For example, German middle school students study for a while at the school in their twin town in Britain, staying with British families. A few months later, their British friends come to study in Germany.Many British towns are so pleased with the results of the twinning that they set out to find more than one twin town.Tonbridge, a small town in Kent, for example, has twin town in both Germany and France. Richmond near London has relationships with Germany, France and even a town in a Balkan country!Town twinning can help make friends. It helps students improve their language skills, and also helps people to understand the differences between nations.1. Twin towns develop________ .A. between European countries and ChinaB. in the English-speaking countries onlyC. in the same countryD. between different countries2. One of the advantages of town twinning is ________ .A. to earn more moneyB. to set up schoolsC. to improve students' language skillsD. to develop industry and agriculture3. Which is the best title for the passage? ________A. Town TwinningB. Friendly TownC. Exchange Teachers and StudentsD. Peace and UnderstandingPassage 4When I was a baby, I entertained you and made you laugh. Whenever I was "bad", you'd shake your finger at me and ask, "How could you? "—but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. Eventually, you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them. But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend.Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your "family", but there was a time when I was your only family.I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said, "I know you will find a good home for her. " They shrugged and gave you a pained look. Thechildren were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And "How could you? " were the only three words that swept over my mind.Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream.My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.1. Who tells this story?A. A dog.B. A child.C. A dog's owner.D. A dog trainer.2.

Be faithful to those who love you.Passage 5That Christmas Eve, everyone, it seemed, was got together with someone else smiling or laughing I was alone.As the eldest of a Greek family of 11 children growing up in New York's crowded apartment, I'd spent much of my life seeking loneliness. Every part of me wanted to be alone, but not at Christmas. My family had returned to Greece, my friends had gone home during the holiday break, and my friends were in involved in their own lives. Dusk was falling, and the inevitable(不可避免的) return to my empty apartment brought tears to my eyes. I wished someone would emerge from of those homes to ask me inside to a warm room with a Christmas tree decorated with wrapped presents.I stopped at the local market, feeling even more depressed as people filled their baskets with goodies. Dates and walnuts reminded me of the gifts we received as children in Greece on Christmas Day. I missed my family. I wanted to cry for wanting to be alone and for having achieved it.As I walked home, I realized that the story of Joseph and Mary wandering from door to door seeking shelter was much like my own history. Leaving Greece was still a wound in my soul as I struggled with who I had become in 15 years in the United States. I'd mourned(哀悼) the losses, but for the first time, I recognized what I'd gained. I was independent, educated, healthy, and adventurous. My life was still before me, full of possibility.Sometimes the best gift is the one you give yourself. That Christmas, I gave myselfcredit for what I'd achieved so far and permission to go forward, unafraid. It is the best gift I've ever received, the one that I most treasure.1.

Struggling but rewarding.C. Stressed and helpless.D. Risky and encouraging.参考答案Passage 11. A词句猜测题。

高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 201

高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 201Passage 1It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2016. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor (劳动), he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, and then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in human as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.1. Why was the bike so important to the couple? ________A. The man's job was bike racing.B. It was their only means of transportation.C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.D. They used it for work and daily life.2. We can infer from the text that ________ .A. the couple worked 60 hours a weekB. people were busy before ChristmasC. the bike was lost because of Trevor's carelessnessD. life was hard for the author's family3. How did people get to know the couple's problem? ________A. From radio broadcasts.B. From a newspaper.C. From TV news.D. From a stranger.4. What do the couple learn from their experience? ________A. Strangers are usually of little help.B. One should take care of their bike.C. News reports make people famous.D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.Passage 2He was the baby with no name. Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him "our baby. " In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia,people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby's grave (墓), carved with the words: "To the memory of an unknown child" He has rested there ever since.But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. "This is our baby, " says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula, 42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children—including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. "We thought they were all lost in the sea, " says Schleifer.Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby's grave, scientists have compared the DNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees: no need for a new grave. "He belongs to the people of Halifax, " says Schleifer. "They've taken care of him for 90 years. "Adapted from People, November 25, 20021. The baby travelled on the Titanic with his ________ .A. motherB. parentsC. auntD. relatives2. What is probably the boy's last name? ________A. SchleiferiB. EinoC. MagdaD. Panula3. Some members of the family went to Halifax and put flowers at the child's grave on Nov. 5 ________ .A. 1912B. 1954C. 2002D. 20044. This text is mainly about how ________ .A. the unknown baby's body was taken from the north AtlanticB. the unknown baby was buried in Halifax, Nova ScotiaC. people found out who the unknown baby wasD. people took care of the unknown baby for 90 yearsPassage 3If you are hitting the gym regularly or exercising at least five days a week, you'll be forgiven for thinking that circulation(血液循环) is great. But Mary Cushman MD. Professor of medicine at the University of Vermont, gave evidence that it's less about the exercise you do, but more about how active you are generally.Dr. Cushman explained if the legs don't move for hours at a time, the blood can begin to clot(凝结), leading to a disease called VTE, simply sitting for long periods can be a primary cause.Scientists consider that TV habits are a good way to judge whether or not someone is living such a sedentary(久坐不动的) lifestyle. Sure enough, the data showed that people who watched TV very often had 1. 7 times the risk of suffering a life-threatening blood clot compared to people who said they seldom or never watched TV. To theresearchers' surprise, they found that even frequent TV watchers who exercised regularly were still 1. 8 times more likely to get a blood clot than exercisers who rarely watched television."You can be physically active and also have sedentary behavior. " said Dr. Cushman. "They aren't just opposites. People who are physically active don't necessarily have low sedentary time. "In other words, regular exercise is important for many health reasons, but it's not enough in itself. We also need to remain active throughout the rest of the day.Dr. Cushman suggests limiting our sitting time to avoid diseases, which includes any long periods such as working at a desk or taking a long flight. She also has two pieces of advice. "Number one is to educate yourself about this disease, " she said. And her second piece of advice is clear. "Keep moving to have a healthy lifestyle. That includes not being sedentary, getting proper physical activity and eating a healthy diet, which will help prevent this disease as well as almost every other disease.1. According to Dr. Cushman, what mainly contributes to VTE? ________A. Sitting too long.B. Eating unhealthily.C. Exercising irregularly.D. Watching TV too frequently.2. From the third paragraph, we can infer that________.A. exercises are more likely to suffer blood clots.B. regular exercise is hardly helpful to people's health.C. TV habits have little relation with sedentary lifestyles.D. avoiding sedentary lifestyle is key to preventing blood clots.3. What do Dr. Cushman's words mean in Paragraph 4? ________A. Being active is opposite to sedentary behavior.B. Physically active people have low sedentary time.C. Physically active people should have sedentary lifestyles.D. People should be active in other time periods besides exercise.4. What does Dr. Cushman mainly talk about in the last paragraph? ________A. How to avoid VTE.B. How to live a long life.C. How to prevent diseases.D. How to change the sedentary lifestyle.Passage 4Like a tired marriage, the relationship between libraries and publishers has long been dull. E- books, however, are causing heartache. Libraries know they need digital wares, but many publishers are too cautious about piracy(盗版) and lost sales to co-operate. Among the big six, only Random House and Harper Collins license e-books with most libraries.Publishers are wise to be nervous. Owners of e-readers(电子阅读器) are exactly the customers they need: book-lovers with money. If these people switch to borrowing e-books instead of buying them, what then? Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient.Unlike printed books, which must be checked out and returned to a physical library miles from where you live, book files can be downloaded at home. The files disappear from the device when they are due.E-lending is not simple, however. There are lots of different and often incompatible(不兼容的) e-book formats, devices and licenses. Most libraries use a company called OverDrive, which secures rights from publishers and provides e-books and audio files in every format. Yet publishers and libraries are worried by Over Drive’s global market dominance(优势), as the company can control fees and conditions. Publishers were annoyed when OverDrive cooperated with Amazon, the world’s biggest online bookseller, last year. Owners of Amazon’s Kindle e-reader who want to borrow e-books from libraries are now redirected to Amazon’s website, where they must use their Amazon account to secure a loan.According to Pew, an opinion researcher, library users are a perfect market for Amazon. Late last year Amazon introduced its Kindle Owners’ Lending Library, which lets its best customers borrow free one of thousands of popular books each month.Library supporters argue that book borrowers are also book buyers and that libraries are vital spaces for readers to discover new works. Many were cheered by a recent Pew survey»which found that more than half of Americans with library cards say they prefer to buy their e-books.So publishers keep adjusting their lending arrangements in search of the right balance.Random House raised its licensing price’s earlier this year, and Harper Collinslimits libraries to lending its titles 26 times.1. It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that ________.A. several big publishers have sold e-books to librariesB. most publishers are hesitant to cooperate with librariesC. libraries are eager to keep strong relationship with publishersD. libraries and publishers face the same problem of e-books’ piracy2. Why are publishers worried that people will switch to electronic borrowing?A. E-books must be checked out and returned to libraries regularly.B. There is no time limit for the book files downloaded on the device.C. There are lots of different and incompatible e-book formats available.D. Book sales may drop sharply because of convenient electronic borrowing.3. We can learn from the text that ________.A. Amazon is adopting measures to win more customersB. e-books can be lent at libraries as many times as you likeC. Over Drive distributes e-books and audio files to publishersD. over half of Americans are borrowing e-boo from libraries4. What is the best title for the text?A. The Hopeful Future of Publishing BusinessB. The Uncertain Economics of Lending E-booksC. The Dull Relationship between Libraries and PublishersD. The Close Cooperation between OverDrive and AmazonPassage 5Buying books on the Internet is a great way to save time and money. Online bookstores offer new books and used books that can save you lots of money. They are far better compared to traditional bookstores as they offer much wider kinds of books. Another advantage of buying books online is that you can also read the book reviews as well as readers’ reviews to get an idea whether the book is worth buying. Online bookstores offer great discounts to regular customers which is a big attraction for book lovers.For book lovers, the most important thing is to get books on time. Therefore, you need to find a reliable online bookstore that will be able to provide fast deliveries (送货).Here are some tips to use when choosing an online bookstore. Some online bookstores are popular for fiction books; some are for non-fiction books or novels, etc. Understanding their specialization will help you get the right kind of books in time. Check whether you will be buying the books from a third-party seller or directly from the website. Although the website could be reputable (声誉好的), third-party sellers advertised on their site may not have a good reputation. Never jump at stores that offer super cheap prices, as books sold at such low prices could be in very bad condition.Most of the popular online bookstores offer useful tools. One tool is a wish list tool on its website. You can update (更新) the list of books you wish to buy in the future. The bookstore will know what you want and will e-mail you immediately when the book of your choice is available.1. Why was online bookstores much better than traditional ones?A. They offer the latest books.B. They offer more kinds of books to choose from.C. They offer the lowest prices.D. They offer readers more about their favorite authors.2. Which of the following do online book lovers care most about?A. The speed of deliveries.B. The author of books.C. The prices of books.D. The condition of books.3. What is the 3rd paragraph mainly about?A. How to advertise on the website to get a good reputation.B. How to avoid buying bad condition books online.C. How to understand the specialization of an online bookstore.D. How to choose a reliable online bookstore.4. What’s the benefit of updating your wish list of books?A. You may get the right kind of books.B. You may buy the book you want as quickly as possible.C. You may know more reliable booksellers.D. You may pay for the book at a low price.参考答案Passage 11.

高一英语阅读理解强化训练Day 3Passage 1Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name--phubbers（低头族）.Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities(身份) bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone.A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck, ” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long--term stretching. ” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.1. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.2. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?A. His social skills could be affected.B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.C. He will cause the destruction of the world.D. He might get separated from his friends and family.3. Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?A. Supportive.B. Opposed.C. Optimistic.D. Objective.4. What may the passage talk about next?A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.B. People addicted to phubbing.C. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.D. Consequences of phubbing.Passage 2Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs.Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身), nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well--qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open--minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.1. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Paragraph 2?A. People’s appearances carry message about themselves.B. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies.C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly--treated.D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.2. What can be inferred from the text?A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.3. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Employees MatterB. Personal Choices MatterC. Appearances MatterD. Hiring Managers Matter4. The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as .A. enthusiasticB. negativeC. positiveD. sympatheticPassage 3Friendship Day in India falls on the first Sunday of August every year. It is celebrated with many activities.Young people in India spend the day with their closest friends and have fun together.Most youngsters in India plan a movie or have a meal with their friends. Many friends may go on a drive to tourist places or make a plan for camping. Some friends go to the supermarket to do some shopping.

Besides the fire drills(演习) we had each year at school, we also had earthquakes drills. Luckily, there are a few things we can do to prepare for an earthquake.At home, I think we can fasten heavy objects to our walls. We can buy hooks at our local hardware store. When we fasten them to the walks, we should make sure we follow the instructions.When we put objects on shelves, we should make sure they are not heavy or that they cannot hurt somebody when they fall off. This is especially important in bedrooms, as when we are awakened due to an earthquake, our reaction time may be slow. We willwant to make sure that we don't have objects that will fall directly on to the bed.For homes with children, I think parents should teach them what to do during an earthquake. Parents should show them how to get under a table during a quake. Another safe place is an inside doorframe. Parents should teach their children not to go near glass or other unsafe area during the quake. I think they should also teach children what to do if they are ever trapped after an earthquake.If we are in a structure, which has suffered considerable damage, I think we should try to move outside after the quake. As we go outside, we should make sure that we are aware of fallen power lines and other dangers. Broken gas mains are another serious danger after a quake.This is an emergency where it is important to have a family's emergency action plan in place. Most likely a family will not be together during an earthquake. If each one can remember what they are supposed to do in this situation, then they will have an easier time finding and picking up each other.1.
