Parents used to rely on physical punishments to control their children's bad behavior, which has been proven to be very harmful．Therefore, most parents now choose to simply yell, thinking that languageprobably won't hurt as much．But is that really so?Using harsh words such as "lazy" or "stupid" is just as harmful as hitting, according to a new study carried out at the University of Pittsburgh, US．"It cannot reduce or correct their problem behavior," said Professor Ming - Te Wang, leader of the study, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal．"On the contrary, it makes it worse．"In the study, which involved 976 two - parent families, researchers asked the kids about their behavior problems, while asking their parents how often they had yelled at them． Nearly half of the parents admitted that they'd shouted at their children in the past year．Researchers noted that the kids whose parents used more harsh words experienced more behavior problems after-wards, including fighting, stealing, lying as well as symptoms of depression．"Adolescence is a very sensitive period when kids arc trying Lo develop their self -identities （个性）．When you yell, it makes them feel they are not capable, and that they are worthless and useless," Wang said．"This may explain why so many parents say that no matter how loud they shout, their teenagers don' t listen．While harsh yelling can stop bad behavior in the moment, it doesn' t teach children to be-have how parents want them to, according to Professor Alan Kazdin of Yale University, US．What parents need is to praise their children for good behavior．If parents really need to punish their kids, they should try things like taking away smartphones and reminding them that good behavior will get them back． After all, "we want to teach kids, not hurt them," said Kazdin．1．How do most parents react to their children's misbehaving now?A．Letting them alone．B．Beating them．C．Shouting at them．D．Praising them．2．The study finds that using harsh words ．A．can make things even worse B．inspires children to do betterC．corrects children's bad behavior D．has a better effect than hitting3．According to Professor Ming - Te Wang, ．A．physical punishments are sometimes necessaryB．children are more self - centered in adolescenceC．parents should never punish kids for misbehavingD．harsh yelling damages children's self - confidence4．In Professor Alan Kazdin's opinion, parents shouldA．set good examples for their childrenB．take away their children' s smartphonesC．praise their children for good behaviorD．always think in their children's shoes5．What does the underlined word "them" in the last paragraph refer to?A．children B．bad behaviors C．parents D．smartphones【参考答案】1—5、CADCD阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

When Peng Liyuan stepped off the plane in Moscow, the whole world wanted to know who dressed the elegant first lady. The reporter released the secret—Ma Ke.Peng Liyuan has been wearing Ma Ke's designs for more than a decade, a fact that was only highlighted recently when she was on her first state visit, accompanying her husband President Xi Jinping. The elegant and attractive Peng, formerly a popular singer, has been compared with the US’ first lady Michelle Obama and France’s Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, since stepping off the airplane in Moscow on March 22. Suddenly, everyone was curious to know more about the first lady’s wardrobe. Even so, Ma prefers a low-key approach. “If you eat a tasty egg why would you want to see the hen?” she says of all the media attention.Ma’s relationship with Peng began 10 years ago after a concert in Guangzhou when a reporter told Peng she knew the designer behind the label Exception de Mixmind. Peng asked for an introduction because she was a fan of Ma’s designs and had been wearing them for years.The two naturally became friends. Ma says: “The painting reflects the painter, and clothes reflect both the designer and the wearer. Someone desires fame and wealth, or love and sympathy; what you have in your heart is reflected in the design. Those who don’t share my philosophy won’t buy my clothes. Peng is a caring person, devoted to charity and environmental protection, which is exactly what I’m doing now.”How ever, regardless of the brand, Peng’s support of Chinese labels has surprised millions of Chinese who favor foreign fashion brands.“Instead she presented a vision of Chinese fashion, desiring to bring Chinese designers to the world stage,” says a western designer.The first lady’s double-breasted coat and her black leather handbag aren’t available at any of Exception’s shops, though Exception’s physical stores do have seen a rising number of visitors.1..

However urban life strikes you，cities worldwide have been growing even more rapidly．Some of this growth has occurred in the developed world，but the most dramatic increase has been in the Third World．Almost all the world’s population growth over the next 30 years will take place in the cities of developing countriesBy the year 2030，for the first time in history，60 percent of the world’s people will be living in cities．This is actually good news in some ways．“Cities are the fundamental building blocks of prosperity,” says Marc Weiss，chairman of the Prague Institute for Global Urban Development，“ both for the nation and for families．” Industrial and commercial activities in urb an areas account for between 50 and 80 percent of the gross domestic product （GDP） in most countries of the world“ there’s the crazy notion that the way to deal with a city’s problems is to keep people out of them,”Weiss continued．“But the problems of the rural life are even more serious than those of the city．” For better or worse，urban-watchers are clear on one point: The quality of life for most people in the future will be determined by the quality of cities．Those cities will be bigger than ever．And yet，population numbers by themselves don’t determine a city’s prospects； after all，Addis Ababa，Ethiopia，and Hamburg，Germany，have the same population．Nor is explosive growth necessarily the determining factor．“City problems,” one authority points out，“mostly have to do with weak，ineffective，and usually unrepresentative city governments．”1．The passage mainly discusses ______________．A．Big cities．B．City life．C．Population．D．Gross Domestic Product．2．According to the passage，in the year of 2030 _______．A．there will be 21 cities having a population of more than 10 million．B．rural area will be extinct．C．most people will live in cities．D．the third world will keep abreast with the developed world．3．In the author’s opinion，_________．A．better city，better lifeB．both urban and rural areas have a larger populationC．the larger population，the faster a city developsD．both urban and rural areas have larger gross domestic products4．Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A．The developing countries develop faster than the developed countries．B．Cities contribute more to the GDP than the villagers．C．Some problems are more easily solved in cities than in country．D．It’s impossible to solve urban problems by getting people out of cities．5．The last paragraph implies that ____________．A．public services are ineffective．B．cities are increasing too fast．C．population is not linked with development．D．government should be responsible for the problems in the cities．【参考答案】1---5、A C A A D阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

一轮复习最新高考英语阅读理解精选含答案一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Eating red meat is linked to cancer and heart disease, but are the risks big enough to justify giving up juicy burgers and delicious steaks? Probably not, according to researchers who reviewed data from 12 clinical trials involving about 54,000 people. In a series of controversial papers, the researchers argue that the increased health risks tied to red meat are small and uncertain, and that cutting back likely wouldn't be worth it for people who enjoy meat.Those conclusions go against established medical advice. They were swiftly attacked by a group of famous U.S. scientists who took the unusual step of trying to stop the papers from being published until their criticisms were addressed.The new work does not say red or processed meats like hot dogs and bacon are healthy, or that people should eat more of them. The team's reviews of past studies generally support the ties to cancer, heart disease and other bad health outcomes. But the authors say the evidence is weak, and that there's not much certainty meat is really the cause, since other diet and lifestyle factors could be at play.If the latest example of how divisive nutrition research has become, with its uncertainties leaving the door open for conflicting advice. Critics say findings often aren't backed by strong evidence. Defenders counter that nutrition studies can rarely be conclusive because of the difficulty of measuring the effects of any single food, but that methods have improved.Based on their analyses, the researchers said people do not have to cut back for health reasons. But they noted that their own advice is weak, and acknowledged that they didn't consider factors such as animal welfare and the environment. Indeed, the case that meat production is bad for animal welfare and the environment is stronger than the case that it's bad for human health, according to an editorial that accompanies the report.Not all of the report authors agreed with its conclusions. Three of the 14 researchers said they support reducing red and processed meats. A coauthor of one of the reviews is also among those who called for a publication delay.Those who pushed to postpone publication also questioned why certain studies were included in the reviews while others were left out.As for his own diet, Dr. Gordon Guyatt, a member of the international research team that conducted the reviews, said he no longer thinks red or processed meats have significant health risks. But he said he still avoids them out of habit, and for animal welfare and environmental reasons.（1）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A.To introduce a new relationship between health and eating red meat.B.To urge more people to keep away from eating red meat regularly.C.To present a new controversial view on impacts of eating red meat.D.To criticize nutrition studies for lacking of conclusive evidence.（2）What is the author's attitude towards the new research?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Disapproving.D.Objective.（3）Guyatt's avoiding red meats has the weakest connection with_______.A.health risksB.diet habitsC.animal welfareD.environmental protection（4）What can we learn from the recent research?A.Red meats don't have significant health risks.B.Reducing meat consumption will be worth it.C.The report authors have reached a consensus.D.Consuming red meat will do good to health.【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）A（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者对于吃红肉是否与癌症和心脏病有关引用了研究发现、结果、例子等客观数据和事实来写这篇文章。

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important in formation that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example, some might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for on e hundred dollars!”This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only on e was a winner. He’s really a big loser!He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(对手) says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” that’s true. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers(广告商) will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too of often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.1. How much did the lottery winner lose?A. One hundred dollars.B. Two hundred dollars.C. Three hundred dollars.D. Four hundred dollars.2. We may infer that the author believes people should _______.A. buy lottery ticketsB. make use of half-truthsC. not take anything at face valueD. not trust the Yucky Company3. What do the underline words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. final increaseB. big advantageC. large shareD. total saving4. What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?A.False statements are easy to see through.B. B. Half-truths are often used to mislead people.C.Doctors like to act in advertisements.D. D. Advertisements are based on facts.【参考答案】1—4、.A C A B【2014高考英语一模试题】Do you like shopping? Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror? For some of us，shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me．it's something I would rather avoid．Thank goodness for the Internet! It's more convenient to buy CDs，electrical items，even food，from the comfort of your sofa．Bu t that’s not the only reason：price is an important factor．We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy．This has led to a type of shopping called “showroomin g”．Showrooming is something I've done．I will go to a shop to see，touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock—down price．I'm not alone in doing this．Research by a company called Foolproof，found 24％of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013．Amy Cashman，Head of Technology at TNS UK，says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that“people are lacking time，lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying．”She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around．But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change．They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in—store discounts or free girls．We mustn’t forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare．It’s good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by showrooming，you get the best of both worlds! 51．The two questions in Paragraph l are raised to A．introduce the topic B．give two examplesC．compare different opinions D．get answers from readers 52．What does showrooming mean in the text?A．Trying in shops and buying online．B．Showing products in a room．C．Buying something in a store．D．Shopping on the Internet．53．According to Amy Cashman，which is not the reason for showrooming? A．The lack of time． B．The comfort of the sofa．C．The shortness of money． D．The security of the product．54．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 ?A．Online shops will disappear．B．Free gifts will surely promote sales．C．Shops need necessary changes．D．Shops will be replaced by online shops．55．The author's attitude towards showrooming isA．critical B．neutral C．supportive D．casual【参考答案】51—55、AABCCC【2014高考英语一模试题】CAlthough cats may be one of the most popular pets today, little is known about how and when humans and cats set up their close relationship. The earliest evidence for human–cat interaction dates back to prehistoric Cyprus（史前塞浦路斯）, where the remains of a wild cat and a human — dated 9,500 years old — were found buried together.A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has confirmed the first direct evidence of a human–domestic cat relationship among Chinese farmers 5,300 years ago. Researchers studied the bones of cats, dogs, deer and other animals unearthed in an excavation (挖掘) near a village in Central China. By using some ways, scientists showed that the cats were living on a mostlymillet(黍)–based diet, just like the domesticated dogs and pigs from the site. "The most reasonable explanation for a high consumption ofmillet–based food is that the cats had formed a stable and mutual relationship with humans and could easily feed on rodents (啮齿动物) around human villages, find leftover food or even have been fed by people intentionally," said Hu Yaowu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, whose research focuses on the relationship between humans and domesticated animals."It is very interesting for us to find the consumption of millet-based foods by the cats, since this kind of evidence had long been missing.” Hu explains. Since cats usually eat meat, such a diet would be unexpected, unless the cats were being fed by people, the study argues. The researchers also found that one of the cats survived to reach old age, implying that it had a safe place to live and enough to eat.Why the farmers wanted to keep cats nearby or make them "pets" could be answered by other evidence. Chinese archaeologists found some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents —a vermin (害兽) that cats could certainly have helped with.The simplified theory is that rats were attracted to the food of farmers, and so were harmful to farmers. Cats were attracted to the rats, andso farmers formed a mutually beneficial relationship with cats, taking care of them in return for pest control.【小题1】The evidence found in the remains dating back to prehistoric Cyprus means .A. human made cats pets as early as 9,500 years agoB. human interacted with cats very earlyC. cats didn’t appear until prehistoric CyprusD. when cats became domesticated【小题2】Apart from cats, Hu Yaowu and his teams may alsostudy .A. the preventions of pests from grainsB. the history of Chinese farmingC. the dogs and pigsD. the ways to keep pets【小题3】Which of the following is NOT the evidence of Ch inese farms’ keeping cats?A. Cats didn’t feed on meat.B. The cats consumed large amounts of millet–based foods.C. One of the cats survived to reach old age.D. Some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents.【小题4】What are the reasons for farmers to keep cats?A. Helping keep other domesticated animals.B. Not letting cats eat food.C. Supplying meat for human.D. Helping reduce the amount of pests.【小题5】In which part of a newspaper would be the passage most probably appear .A. EntertainmentB. EnvironmentC. Human and ScienceD.

一轮复习高考英语试卷阅读理解题分类汇编(及答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly, most of the world's great religions (宗教) order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally (道德方面) right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行). Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one's sense of pride and self-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.（1）What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. Moral deeds of people.B. Religious activities of the church.C. Moral goodness of the giver.D. Arguments on giving to beggars.（2）What can we infer from the sentence "But has the world changed?" in the second paragraph?A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.C. We don't meet with those who need help any more.D. Now it is the government's duty to help the beggars.（3）Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.（4）In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because ______.A. the cases can be so differentB. there are so many beggarsC. there is so much money wastedD. there are so many different arguments【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）B（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了人们过去和现在对乞讨者不同观点及原因，告诉我们不同问题要区别对待。

An animal that is aware (意识) of itself has a high level of intelligence.Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image (反射出的影像). Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying very little attention to the reflected image. Only humans，and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins，have been shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has pas sed the mirror selfreflection test.“We thought that elephants were the next important animal，”said Diana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society, an author of the study with Joshua M. Plotnik and Fans B. M. de Waal of Emory University. With their large brains，Reiss said, elephants “seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins.”The researchers tested Happy. Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo. They put an 8footsquare mirror on a wall of the animals' play area (out of the sight of zoo visitors) and recorded what happened with cameras, including one built in the mirror.The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it，and to examine parts of their bodies.Of the three, Happy then passed the test，in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.Diana Reiss said，“We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a be tter way.”文章通过实验说明能意识到自身形象的动物具有高智商。

A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly，courteous and helpful most Americans were to them．To be fair，this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians，and should best be considered North American．There are，of course，exceptions．Small-minded officials，rude waiters，and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US．Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment．For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence．Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another．Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion，and brought news of the outside world．The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality．Someone traveling alone，if hungry，injured，or ill，often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement．It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers．It reflected the harshness of daily life：if you didn‘t take in the stranger and take care of him，there was no one else who would．And someday，remember，you might be in the same situation．Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the weary traveler．Yet，the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US，especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails．“I was just traveling through，got talking with this American，and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner—amazing．” Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon，but are not always understood properly．1．In the eyes of visitors from the outside world，___________．A．rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the USB．small-minded officials deserve a serious commentC．Canadians are not so friendly as their neighborsD．most Americans are ready to offer help2．It could be inferred from the last paragraph that ___________．A．culture exercises an influence over social interrelationshipB．courteous convention and individual interest are interrelatedC．various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friendsD．social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions3．Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers ___________．A．to improve their hard lifeB．in view of their long-distance travelC．to add some flavor to their own daily lifeD．out of a charitable impulse4．The tradition of hospitality to strangers ___________．A．tends to be superficial and artificialB．is generally well kept up in the united StatesC．is always understood properlyD．has something to do with the busy tourist trails5．What’s the author’s attitudes toward the American‘s friendliness？A．Favorable． B．Unfavorable． C．Indifferent． D．Neutral．【参考答案】1---5、DACBA2016高考选练----阅读理解。

American actress Marisa Tomei won an Academy Award for her work in the 1992 movie My Cousin Vinny. People laughed when they saw her film character telling a boyfriend that they need to get married. Why marriage? Because her biological clock is ticking and she wants a baby.“Well I hat e to bring it up because I know you got enough pressure on you already. But…we agreed to get married as soon as you won your first case(law case). Meanwhile, ten years later…my niece…the daughter of my sister is getting marri ed. My biological clock is ticking like this (stomp, stomp, stomp). And the way this case is going…I ain’t never getting married.”“Lisa, I do n’t need this. I swear to God I don’t need this right now.”Using it this way, a biological clock means the ti me in a woman’s life when she is able to bear children. In the not-so-distant past, most people thought that when a woman reached her 40sit was too late for her to have children. The time on her biological clock had run out.Well, that has changed. These days some women are resetting their biological clocks. They are giving themselves more time to have children.Make no mistake. Being a “Single Mother by Choice” is very different from younger women who find themselves pregnant, perhaps not by choice.Generally speaking, single mothers by choice are older and well educated. They are usually financially secure and successful in their careers. So, they have the money. What they may not have is a partner.This is the place in life where writer Kerry Reichs found herself several years ago. She says she did not plan to become a single mother. She says she just did not find the right partner.“Well, I think I had a set of standards for the partner I was looking for and I didn’t meet anyone that fit those standards. And, at 39 I found myself single, without children and I wanted them very much. So, I made the difficult decision that I could do this on my own.1.
