And I’ll never forget the words she said.She said, "Suzie's in the corner because she's not very good. She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should. "I saw her baby doll well dressed in the corner. It was obvious that she'd been put there to sit alone and think.My daug hter continued her"conversation", as I sat down on the floor. She said, “I’m all fed up. I just don't know what to do with her anymore. She never lets me do the things that I just have to do.”. And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life, as I listened to her innocent words that cut me like a knife. I didn't pay enough attention to what I hold most dear. I'd been caught up in responsibilities that increased throughout the year.But now my attitude has changed, because, in my heart, I r ealize that I’ve seen the world in a different light through my little darling s eyes. So, let the cobweb(蜘蛛网)cut the corners and the children rule the floor. I’m not going to worry about keeping up with them anymore. I’m going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother.

A world of childrenCLizzie’s diaryDay3: Tuesday December 2We pla nned to go to Rothera that morning. We’d be staying there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctic(南极洲）is one of the windiest places on the earth.sometimes you can't fly at all.we had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we leave that day. People had to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots waited for good weather.It turned clear at 9:30 am and we took off at 10:30 am .But even when we were in the air, there was still a chance that we wouldn’t be able to fly the whole day.Day4: Wednesday December 3After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today,I could understand why everybody who came here fell in love with the place, It was really beautiful.We were staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around. It was out minus 20℃today, which for me was very cold, but the regular(常客)here were often seen walking around in T shirts!Day 5, Thursday December 4I woke up on another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctic. I was told that it was a bit colder today, about minus 50℃, but it was not very windy. Those of us who were new to the base had to do a special training course before we were allowed to leave the base for other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.Day 7: Saturday December 6There was no cloud in the sky and it was warm enough to sit outside in a jacket.The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery (风景) changes every day.At first I thought I was going mad. I stepped outside in the morning and thought “I’m sure that big mountain o f ice wasn’t there yesterday.” It’s because the seat ice is always moving slowly! 8, Lizzie sat outside wearing a jacket on_____________________.A.

What impressed Lizzie most about Rothera was that________________.A people walked around in T-shirtB there was a special training courseC the weather was sometimes warmD the scenery changed every dayDI remember a time when I went shopping on my first visit to Macao. Coming from cold and cloudy England, I was prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt. Not having much chance to enjoy the sun in the UK and having naturally fair skin, my legs are very white. In the UK this is not a fashioned look at all. Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin. The darker the skin. the better the look.As I walked around one shop, two shop assistants didn’t take their eyes off me the whole time,talking quietly in Chinese. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave. After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong. I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin. My friend laughed."They weren’t laughing at you. They were saying how nice your legs are. Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours.In fact, there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin whiter and a lot f money is spent on them”.It just goes to show that we always think what others have is better. The grass is always greener on the other side. If the women of the West and East thought the same way, western women wouldn’t spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the East wouldn’t need to use cream that makes skin whiter.12. What do most British women prefer to do for their skin?A. Cover it with whitening cream.B. Protect it from sunlight.C. Get it sunburnedD. Keep it wet13. Why did the author think the shop assistants were laughing at her?A. She mistook their quiet chat.B She heard them chatting in English.C. She heard them laughing loudly.D. She was wearing a too short skirt.14.What does “The grass is always greener on the other side.” mean in the last paragraph?A. People always think what others have is better.B.People see grass greener from a distance.C.People step on more on their own grassD. People want to own more grass.15.What can be learned from the text?A Skirts are always beautiful for girls.B.British women learn little about China.C .We should value what we have.D.Western girls are always misunderstood by Chinese.阅读理解十一A篇.

It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, "If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages."The sailors had heard about the captain's cheating, so they didn't trust him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though it was very cold, he stayed in it. When itwas nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away."You are cheating," the captain said to the sailor. "The fire's warming you.""But it's half a mile away!" said the sailor."A fire's fire," answered the captain. "I have won."The sailor came out of the water, and said, "Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can't cook a chicken.""I can," answered the captain."If you cook this chicken," said the sailor, "I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but if you can't, you will give me your ship."The captain agreed, took the chicken and said, "Where's the fire?""There it is," answered the sailor.

高一英语上学期阅读理解20篇(一)
高一英语上学期阅读理解20篇（一）一As a student, you must be excited to know something about American school students. In fact, just like in China, in the United States, high school is usually divided into two periods, the first two or three years are called “junior high school” and the other is “senior high school”.In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free education until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system (制度), American children have little difficulty in going to senior high school.American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activities are organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us students in China, American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And those who come out with low marks at the end of a school year and who should repeat a grade are often allowed to go on to the next grade.In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors. So children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban (郊区的) high schools, where most students want to go to university and the atmosphere (氛围) is quite different.1. Activities outside of the classroom refer to __________.A. what the students do after class in schoolB. what the students learn in extra classesC. what a music group or a sports team doD. what the teachers do after class for the students2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The time of free education in China is longer than that in America.B. Those who get good marks can go to a good university.C. American students can take all kinds of subjects during the high school period.D. They can be allowed to join the next grade even if they fail the school-year exam.3. The writer of the passage tells us the truth that ________.A. the atmosphere in high schools is quite different from that in a universityB. none of the schools in cities are good for learningC. suburban high schools are good places for learningD. all the American students want to go to university二Americans can travel almost anywhere they choose. But to protect its people, the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go. These places are unfriendly countries or countries at war. There, the traveller might not be safe. These countries are listed in a small book called a passport. This passport is a government request(要求) for the safety of its travelling people. It is also a government' s pledge (保证) that the people will obey the rules of the host country. To receive a passport from the government, a traveller must prove(证明) that he is an American citizen. An American can not go abroad without a passport. Only some close countries such as Canada and Mexico do not ask for passports. Inside the passport is the traveller's picture. Children travelling with their parents are included(包含) in one parent's book. Thousands of people from the United States visit other countries every year. An American traveller might carry plane tickets, money, clothing and many other things, but the most important that he carries inanother country is his passport.1. A passport is not needed when an American goes to .A. foreign countriesB. dangerous areasC. Canada or MexicoD. foreign countries2. From the passage we can see thatA. children can' t travel to foreign countriesB. Americans like travellingC. a traveller is not safe in most countriesD. Americans like to travel to close countries3. Which statement does the passage lead you to believe?A. People should take care of their passports.B. It is not important to have a passport to travel.C. Children are never included in a passport.D. When you are in another country, money is more important than a passport.4. Which of the following statements is true?A.When Americans are travelling in another country, they must obey the rules of the country.B. The American government sometimes allow its people to travel to dangerous places.C. A passport is needed wherever an American is travelling.D. A passport only helps the traveller to know where he will go.三It takes many years for you to grow up. There are two periods in your life when you grow rapidly. The first period begins right after you are born and lasts until you are about six months old. The second period starts when you reach the age of 13. First, girls grow faster than boys, then boys catch up and grow faster and stronger.Your head stops growing earlier than the rest of you. By the time you are ten, your head is nearly full size. The bones of your arms and legs are short when you are a baby. When you reach the age of nine, your bones starts to grow rapidly, and will keep growing until you reach your full height (高度).Besides growing taller, your body changes in other ways. When a boy is about 13 years old, his voice begins to get deeper and he may begin to grow a beard (胡子). At about the age of 13, a girl’s body begins to function (运行) like a woman’s. Some important changes are taking place, changes that makes it possible for boys and girls, when they are older, to become fathers and mothers.1.

I do not want to bring my friends home becauseshe does not act like any of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home andstudy. I wish I could live in another family that was normal, but it will be 5 years before I am 18.What am I supposed to do until then?Prisoner of a CrazyHouseDear 7th Grader,I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feelings about her may change asyou get older and mature.While it is true that your mother’s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the factthat you want to stay separate from her doings is notable and very smart. It shows that you are awinner, not a loser. I am guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is agood thing. So, keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits.At the same time, try to get the best grades and join clubs and school activities. Offer socialservice on weekends and visit your friends at their homes.Fortunately, you are not alone. Many teens live in homes with immature, misguided, selfishparents.

You are visiting the Kikuyu tribe.Hear the drums beat! Listen to the flutes! Almost 2,000 Kikuyus are meeting for the mostimportant dance of the year.First, the Kikuyus choose a large, flat place for their dance. For hundreds of years, they havedanced on an autumn night when the moon is full. The moon and the flame from small fires lightthe dancers.Older people watch from the side while young men and women gather at the dancing place.The girls wear leather skirts and tops. The men wear fancy headdresses and carry spears. Thedancers' skin and clothes are colored by light red chalk.

That wasa typical (典型的) British Sunday in the 1960s. But things now could not be more different.Some British sociologists recently studied the typical British Sunday. They found that people getup later and do less housework than they did 40 years ago. They are far more likely to be outshopping or enjoying themselves than cooking Sunday lunch.Sunday mornings were busy 40 years ago. Most women caught up on their weekly housework andcooked a nice lunch. They seldom allowed themselves any “leisure” until afternoon, after the dishes were cleaned. Then there would be another rush to the table between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pmfor tea.But now, Britons can have brunch (早午餐) at the restaurant. Fewer people bother to cookthemselves.“You only have two free days a week. You don’t want to have to waste one because there isnothing to do but watch boring TV,” said Elizabeth Biggs, 25, a producer in London.“On Saturday you are recovering from the week,” Biggs added. “Sundays are the last chance for the weekend — you want to get as much as you can out of the day before you have to go back towork.”In the past, British women usually did their shopping during the week, while the husband was atwork. “Now men seem to do that as much as women,” said Jonathan Gershuny, a professor whotook part in the study.Men also do more housework now on Sundays. Back in the 1960s, men were far more likely tospend Sundays out of the house — at the pub or playing football — before lunch.1. Many Britons have brunch at the restaurant because _______.A. They have no time to cook at home.B. They get up too late.C. They won’t bother to cook themselves.D. They will go to church.2. Which of the following is NOT true?A.

What can we infer from the passage?A. Men do more housework on Sundays.B. Sundays in Britain might be very boring in the past.C. No people go to church on Sundays now.D. Britons all go out on Sundays.八Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us somequestions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. Whenyou are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that theymust be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation orhaving a chat with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of peoplewill remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hearyou—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professorof your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try toput you at your ease (not worried) but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinaryconversation.

English speakers are always creating new words and we are often able to know where mostwords come from.Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever thinkabout why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham?About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big cityin Germany called Hamburg. They didn’t speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round piece of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. TheGermans didn’t understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round piece of bread and startedselling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today, “hamburgers” are sold in m countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certainmeaning is interesting, too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large Englishdictionary.1 Hamburg is ____________A. a kind of foodB. a round piece of beefC. the name of a villageD. a city in Germany2.

He had worked on many international newspapersand magazines and traveled all over the world.Henry had witnessed wars and natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and eruptingvolcanoes (火山爆发) .He had reported on serious accidents such as big fires and airline crashes.He had seen every kind of terrible crime and strange event there was.He had met and written about some of the most unusual people in the world.In f act, there wasn’t much that Henry had not seen or done.Now he retired from journalism(新闻业). He owned a very expensive restaurant and spent hisdays talking to his wealthy and important customers.

For some time, the Internet seems like a forest, filled with dangers for children. But forests have wonders as well as dangers, and with good guides, some education and a few precautions(预防措施) ,the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated(航行). "Children have to be on-line. If we tell our children they can' t have chances to the Internet, we' re cutting them off from their future," said an expert.Most children have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding lots ofinteresting Internet sites and they can also go to places where you might not want them to go.There are such engines made just for children. A certain software (软件) contains only sites thathave been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit chances would be to use what is knownBut this can't be wholly safe, and the best thing parents can do isas a "content screener(过滤器)”．to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Anotherway is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.A few other tips:1) Don' t put the PC in a child's room, but keep it in a place where mum or dad can keep an eye onthings. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.2) Ask your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like addressand phone number.3) Tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send themanything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.1. What is the main subject about the passage?A. Fighting against children on-line.B. Internet in America.C. American children going on-line.D. Children's web sites.2. According to the passage, we can infer thatA. the writer doesn't encourage children to surf the InternetB. the Internet has a lot of harmful sitesC. the Internet is a forest full of dangersD. a child who is on-line is in danger3. What does the passage tell us most?A. EducationB. Good guidesC. PrecautionsD. Software十三Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle（航天飞机）Challenger, in June, 1993.The achievement of Sally Ride, America’s first woman astronaut to fly into space, made this flight especially memorable. Students from two high schools in Camden, New Jersey, however, arelikely to remember Norma rather than Sally whenever they think about the flight.（伙伴）along with her. Norma wasNorma didn’t travel along. She brought about 100 companionsan ant, a queen ant who, with her subjects, made up the first ant colony（群体）to travel into space.The ants were part of a science experiment designed by the students to test the effects ofweightlessness on insects.The equipment designed by the students for their colony functioned perfectly through-out the longspace trip. The young scientists and their teachers were very sad to find that their insect astronautshad all died at some point before the container was returned to the school and opened. Theproblem did not occur in space, but on the ground after Challenger had landed. The containerremained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony was removed. The hot dry desert air（容器）and the ants died from lack of moisture（水分）.dried out the colony’s containerThe project was termed a success because it did provide useful information. Students will continuetheir efforts to find out exactly what went wrong. They will try to prevent the same difficultiesfrom recurring on future missions. They don’t want to be discouraged either by the death of the ants or by the $10,000 shuttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of ants into space.1.

(英语)英语阅读理解练习题20篇含解析
（英语）英语阅读理解练习题20篇含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Science is finally beginning to embrace animals who were, for a long time, considered second-class citizens.As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friend die.Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the O's. Then the team switched from real-life objects to T-shirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the O-shirted people: they had transferred their knowledge to a two-dimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.I've been guilty of prejudiced expectations, myself. At the start of my career almost four decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes out-think and out-feel other animals. They're other primates(灵长目动物), after all, animals from our own mammalian(灵长目动物) class. Fairly soon, I came to see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters of cultural learning, and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social companions. Long-term studies in the wild on these mammals helped to fuel a viewpoint shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure in laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further and explore the inner lives of fish, chickens, pigs, goats, and cows, 1 started to wonder: Will the new science of "food animals" bring an ethical (伦理的) revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will our ethics start to catch up with the development of our science?Animal activists are already there, of course, committed to not eating these animals. But what about the rest of us? Can paying attention to the thinking and feeling of these animals lead us to make changes in who we eat?（1）According to Annie Potts, hens have the ability of .A. interactionB. analysisC. creationD. abstraction（2）The research into pigs shows that pigs .A. learn letters quicklyB. have a good eyesightC. can build up a good relationshipD. can apply knowledge to new situations（3）Paragraph 4 is mainly about .A. the similarities between mammals and humansB. the necessity of long-term studies on mammalsC. a change in people's attitudes towards animalsD. a discovery of how animals expressthemselves（4）What might be the best title for the passage?A. The Inner Lives of Food AnimalsB. The Lifestyles of Food AnimalsC. Science Reports on Food AnimalsD. A Revolution in Food Animals【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）C（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了动物也有情感有思想，有一定的分析推理能力。

（英语）高一英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解There are lots of ways to educate yourself on the Internet. You can find photos, documents, and films on almost any topic you can imagine. And at , you can access lectures by artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.TED began in 1984 as a conference that brought together individuals from the fields of technology, entertainment and design. It was intended to be a one-time event focusing on technology and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the founders tried it again. This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual event. There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money. Other specialized spin-off conferences address narrower issues.The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to "offer free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers," as the website puts it. The current version of the site was launched in April 2007, and contains videos of talks given at the TED conferences around the world. The talks are transcribed into hundreds of languages.The TED website is owned by the Sapling Foundation, a non profit devoted to fostering the spread of great ideas. The Sapling foundation acquired TED in 2001. Since then, it has been focusing on using TED to broadcast ideas that might change the world.TED, of course, isn't immune to criticism. It's been called elitist(精英) for its high ticket prices (more than 6,000 dollars total). It's been accused by a few people of censorship for not publishing their talks. One controversial speaker was upset about being criticized by the conference's host afterward.The complaints, however, seem to be relatively few for such a large, long-running organization. And accusations of elitism ring hollow when so much is given away for free on TED's website. Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out.（1）What is the main topic of the article?A.The case against TEDB.What's on TED today.C.Pros and cons of .D.What is TED（2）Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.The TED conference came after the success of .B.Two TED conferences are now held every year.C.TED talks are available in many languages.D.The Sapling Foundation owns .（3）From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that ________.A.it is accepted to all involved that some TED talks might not be publishedB.the host of the conference is one who plays a supportive role to the speakersC.TED is criticized for giving special treatment to the wealthy or powerfulD.the negative comments on TED greatly affects its reputation（4）This author probably believes that________.A.TED is elitistB.TED is beneficialC.TED isn't importantD.TED is the best website【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了TED以及它的历史发展。

It's time to get up!" my mother said while she was pushing me. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. "Oh dear! It's a quarter to eight already. I'll be late for school again," I thought. I jumped out of the bed, washed my face, then hurried to the bus stop without breakfast. As soon as I got on the bus, it started running. "I'm sure I can get to the school on time," I said to myself. Suddenly the bus stopped. The bus driver got off the bus, then got on the bus again and said, "I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. There's something wrong with the bus. Please get off the bus and wait for another one." "I couldn't wait. The school is not far. I'd better run to the school," I thought, and then I began to run. But before I got to the school, it began to rain hard.I reached the classroom but I was wet shivering with cold. The physics teacher had already begun his lesson. It was Mr. Smith. He was about fifty years old. All the students were a little afraid of him and so was I. I liked neither him nor his physics lessons. I hesitated for a moment and then I opened the door. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Smith. I'm late again," I said with a red face."It's you again, Jim," Mr. smith said angrily. "I've told you not be late, but you…" he suddenly stopped and looked at my wet clothes. He turned to the class and said, "I'm very sorry, my boys and girls." With these words he quickly took off his own jacket and handed it to me.

【英语】高一英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解“Yearago when I was at the Grand Canyon, I remembered someone coming up to the canyon's edge, taking a shot with a camera and then walking away, like 'got it — done', barely even glancing at the magnificent scene in front of him, “Linda Henkel, a scientist at Fairfield University, US told Live Science.Henkel was surprised by how obsessed ( 痴迷的)people are with taking pictures these days - before dinner, during friends' birthday parties, on museum tours and so on.They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkel's latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent their brains remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian.In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and photograph 15 others. The next day the students' memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them.''When people rely on technology to remember them - counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences, " Henkel explained.But there is also an exception: if students zoomed in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens ( 镜头)on a specific area could even recall parts that weren't in the frame.So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldn't reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough timedoing it.“In order to rem ember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them, " Henkel tolThe Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they aren't usually very organized ontheir computers.(1)Why did the author mention Henkel's trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning?A. To complain about some tourists' bad habits.B. To give suggestions on how to enjoy one's tour.C. To point out people's obsession with taking pictures. »D. To describe the beautiful view of the Grand Canyon.(2)What can we learn from Henkel's study?A. Reviewing pictures always helps people bring back memories easily.B. Taking pictures in a museum tour helps students recognize objects better.C. People should spend more time taking pictures than studying real objects.D. Pictures focusing on thedetails of objects probably improve people's memories.(3)The underlined word "it " in Paragraph 5 probably refers to ":.A. the cameraB. technologyC. the eventD. an object(4)What is the article mainly about?A. People's obsession with taking pictures and its influence.B. Possible ways of using pictures to improve one's memory.C. Great harm to memory caused by taking pictures constantly. “D. A believable study into thenegative impact of lining cameras often.【答案】(1) C⑵D(3) C(4) A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，人们都有拍照的喜好，拍照有助于我们记忆。
