He thought the writers were respected(尊敬) and could get a lot of money. He wrote a lot of stories and posted them to the editorial departments (编辑部) but didn’t receive any answers.Now he works in a factory. He’s busy at work. When he’s free, he a lways reads something. He always remembers he hoped to be a writer when he was young. One day, Xiao Ping, his ten-year-old daughter, came back. She looked worried and didn’t eat anything. She said Miss Gao, her Chinese teacher, told them to write a solicit article(征文) “My Father” that evening. But she did not know what to write.“That’s easy,” said Lao Yang. “Let me help you.”Then he sat down to write the solicit article at once. He easily finished it on time. He was sure Miss Gao would like it. But one afternoon he asked his daughter if the article had been chosen to post to the editorial department.“My teacher said your article digressed from the subject(离题),” said the girl.“I don’t think so,” Lao Yang shouted angrily. “I described(描写) just my father!”24.

Lao Yang’s solicit article digressed from the subject _______.A. because he couldn’t write it at allB. because he didn’t know his father wellC. because it was too bad to be chosenD. just because he described his father题三：In most towns today, you can see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights, shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters(恶魔). The machines have names like Space Warrior, Dark Invader and so on. It used to be believed that damage was done only to those strange visitors from outer space, but now it seems that they are striking back.Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they can’t stop playing. They spend hours tightly holding the joystick controls and constantly pressing buttons marked “fire”. They develop pains on their fingers because of the constant pressure. They play and play so that the pains have no chance to cure properly. The rapid wrist movement required to guide the spaceship across the screen causes another problem: The muscles of the wrist and arm become so inflamed and swollen(充血红肿) that they press against the bones. This condition is what doctors now call “Space Warrior’s Wrist”.Other strange aches and pains also are likely to affect the elbows and shoulders.Another even more alarming problem is shown by the case of a 17-year-old girl which was recently reported in the British Medical Journal. She had been playing various kinds of electronic games for more than two hours a day. Her father repaired games and machines and she could use the cassettes and systems in his workshop as often as she liked. One day, after playing a game called Dark Invader, she lost consciousness(晕倒) and fell to the floor.Doctors who examine d her found she was suffering from an unusual illness caused by l ights flashing at a particular frequency.49. Electronic games are found very popular with _______.A. people living in townsB. students studying in high schoolsC. girls working in their father’s workshopsD. young people50. “Space Warrior’s Wrist” is caused by _______.A. constantly pressing the buttonsB. rapidly moving across the screenC. tightly holding the joystick controlsD. inflamed and swollen muscles of the wrist51. The case of a 17-year-old girl given by the writer shows that the writer _______.A. supports playing electronic gamesB. feels very sorry for the girlC. disagreed with young people’s playing electronic gamesD. feels worried about young people’s poor health52. From the passage we can conclude that playing electronic games is _______.A. enjoyable and helpful to the studyB. exciting but harmful to the health and studyC. interesting but harmless to the eyesD. amusing and satisfying题四：Can you remember the first time you learned to ride a bike or drive a car? Learning these skills changed your life forever and opened up new horizons. Learning about co mputers can be like learning how to ride a bike o r drive a car. Once you have invested the time to master the skills, you will never go back to the old days. The new technology is simply too convenient and too powerful.Technological developments through the years have enabled us to do more with less effort. We have continuously looked for better ways of doing things. Each invention and new development has allowed us to extend our capabilities. Today we see one of the most dramatic technologies ever deve loped—the computer. It extends the capabilities of our minds. Computers have saved organizations millions of dollars. Furthermore, these same computer systems have opened up new opportunities that would have gone undiscovered or neglected. The computer may multiply what we can do, and the return on investment is high. The growth of computer usage is surprising. On the other hand, the computer can do serious damage. Invasion of privacy(侵犯隐私), fraud(欺诈), and computer-related mistakes are just a few shocking examples.The computer is like a double-edged sword. It has the ability to cut us free from some activities, but it can also cut deep into profits, personal privacy, and our society in general. How it is used is not a function of technology. It is strictly a function of how people decide to use or misuse this new technology. The choice is yours, and only through a knowledge of computer systems will you be able to avoid the dangers while enjoying the many, many benefits of the computer age.49. The writer thinks learning about computers is like learning how to ride a bike or drivea car because _______.A. it is simple and practicalB. it needs a lot of practiceC. it leads people to new life experiencesD. it takes much time to master the skills50. According to the passage, computers bring people the following benefits except _______.A. avoiding mistakesB. saving moneyC. making moneyD. opening up opportunities51. According to the writer, the bad effects of computers can be avoided if we _______.A. have sound knowledge of computer systemsB. tell people not to misuse computersC. have strict rules over the use of computersD. make more investments in the technology52. This passage is probably written for _______.A. computersB. computer producersC. computer learnersD. computer programmers。

阅读理解满分冲刺题一：If you saw a group of kids hitting and abusing(虐待，伤害)an animal, would you stop them? Would you at least call the police? Again people would walk away. Some people do not believe that animal abuse is a big issue(问题).Every day animals are abused in their homes or on the streets. It seems as if politicians(从政者)do nothing to stop this issue. Every one is worried about education and global warming. What about animals? We should not forget them just because they cannot talk to us. Animals, like us humans, have rights. Every living being has the right to warm shelter and good food, but most importantly, they have the right to be wanted and loved. They have the right to be a special, much loved member of their own family.There are many organizations that deal with abused animals or animals that have no home like ASPCA, PETA, the Humane Society and many more. There are organizations that deal with this issue, but that does not mean that we still shouldn’t help. The biggest saying that bothers me is, “I am only one person. I can’t make a difference.” If everyone thought like that, we wouldn’t have the organizations and loving people who help the world every day. By helping one animal, you are making a difference.There are many things you can do right now to help animals around your neighbourhood.You can volunteer at your local animal shelter, raise money for animal shelters, infor m yourcommunity about animal abuse or you can write to your representatives（代表）and tell them that animal abuse needs to be taken seriously. .As you walk down the street, try to help any animal you see walking a round. You can easily buy a cheap box of dry cat or dog food to feed t heanimals. If we do not help our animals now, we may never have animals ag ain. Always remember that with every step you take, you help save an anim al’s life and isn’t that worth fighting for?1.Some people won’t stop kids from abusing animals because ______.A. they are too busy to worry about the animalsB. they don’t take animal abuse seriouslyC. they just leave it to the policeD. they are afraid of being laughed at2.We can learn from the text that ASPCA ______.A. is another name for the Humane SocietyB. provides shelter for both animals and humansC. deals with such issues as education and global warmingD. aims at protecti ng animals from being abused3.Which of the following statements will the author agree with?A. Dogs have the right to be treated kindly.B. One person cannot possibly make a difference.C. Cruelty to animals deserves more attention than global warming.D. It is the politicians’ duty to stop animal abuse.4. The main purpose of the text is to ______.A. criticize those who abuse animalsB. advise people to stop animal abuseC. show how animals are abusedD. explain why people abuse animals题二：Have you ever wished to have an umbrella that makes your hands free? Alan Kaufman has come up with the “Nubrella”, which means “new” + “umbrella”. It is the first truly hands-free umbrella in the world. The inventor says that it stops rain, wind and snow and can keep your head, face and hair dry.“I never planned to invent a product. I just noticed a problem and had a new idea,”said the inventor. The idea for the invention began on one rainy day. Mr Kaufman was standing in one of his stores. He began to look at people’s umbrellas. He found that they had to try very hard to keep their umbrellas in the right place. At that moment an idea came into his mind. He ran to his desk and drew a picture. In this way, the nubrella was born.One cool feature of the nubrella is that you don’t hold it like a normal umbrella; youwear it. The shoulder straps (肩带) of the nubrella allow people to be fully hands-free, so when walking in the rain with the nubrella, you are able to u se your cell phone or drink a hot cup of coffee. Also, the nubrella will never be inverted (颠倒) in the wind. The new umbrella is far safer than traditional ones, because it has no sharp points.1. “Nubrella” is a kind of _____ umbrella.A. normalB. han ds-freeC. traditionalD. paper2. --- How can you use the “Nubrella”?--- You can _____.A. wear the shoulder straps of the nubrellaB. put the nubrella on your headC. use your hands to hold it upD. carry it on your bike3. Which of the following is not right?A. “Nubrella” means “new” + “umbrella”.B. The idea of the nubrella came from the rainy day.C. Walking in the rain, you'd better take the nubrella.D. If you go out with the nubrella, you have it in your hands.。

阅读理解高分突破(上)人生感悟类题一：1. I’ve loved my mothe r’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters（学问）. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.2. Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”3. I never saw her anger, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.4. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional（易动感情的）”. But she lived “on the surface”.5. As years passed, I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive（原谅）me.6. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.7. My hope turned to disappointment, the n little interest and, finally, peace—it s eemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew what I had wri tten it, and I couldn’t stop trying to make her into someone she was not.8. Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside －a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded（折叠）and refolded many times.9. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you chose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.1. The writer began to love her mother’s desk _______.A. after Mother diedB. before she became a writerC. when she was a childD. when Mother gave it to her2. The passage shows that _____.A. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughterB. Mot her was too serious about everything her daughter had doneC. Mother cared much about her daughter in wordsD. Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words3. The word “gulf” in the passage means ____.A. deep understanding between the old and the youngB. different ideas between the mother and the daughterC. free talks between mother and daughterD. part of the sea going far in land4. What did mother do with her daughter’s lett er asking for forgivene ss?A. She had never received the letter.B. For years, she often talked about the letter.C. She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D. She r ead the letter again and again till she died.5. What’s the best title of the passage?A. My Letter to MotherB. Mother and ChildrenC. My Mother’s DeskD. Talks between Mother and Me。

Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to c ustomers.E. My grandma’s trust taught me how to handle responsibility.F. Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.G. Watching my mone y grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier(收银台)in her general store. 1 I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”At first I was paid in candy. 2 I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. 3By the time I was 12, My grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics(化妆品). I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup(化妆)ideas. 4The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a Rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener. 5 Except they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.题二:A. If they are saving up for their first carB. When they refuse t o have an after-school jobC. It is a good idea for all teenagers to have an after-school jobD. The majority of adults in the U.S. had a job during their teenage yearsE. They can’t learn the meaning of hard work if everything is handed to themF. Having an after-school job will help your te enagers know their directionG. But it is less likely that your children will g et into trouble if they are working five evenings a weekWhen your children become teenagers, it’s time to start considering an after-school job.1 , so why shouldn’t our children? When your child has a job, he/she is responsible for getting to work on time and doing his/her job correctly. An after-school job is a good way to teach your teenager about responsibility.By allowing your teenagers to have an aft er-school job you allow them to learn about money management. 2 , they will have to manage how much money they can spend. They will realize that they can’t spend every dollar they make if they want to reach their goal. You are probably saying, “Teens will get into trouble whether they have a job or not.”3 . Depending on the distance from work to home, you could allow your children some extra time to get home after work. This will ensure that they don’t feel rushed but can still get home on time.It’s a good idea to show your teenagers that hard work is what it takes to finish everything in their lives. 4 . What will they expect when they are out on their own if they have never had to work hard for what they want?5 . All teenagers, no matter what their parents’ financial situation is, should have a job. They will need the experience be fore they do get out in the real world.。
