(英语)高一英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解From the loss of wildlife to rising sea levels, we're all well aware of the problems that climate change could cause.But while it may seem like such issues won't affect most of us directly,it looks like future generations could grow up without something that many of us now take for granted: chocolate. According to an essay published by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, changes to the climate in the regions that produce cacao - the plant from which chocolate is produced - may mean that it will soon become extinct.Most of the world's cacao grows in countries close to the equator,with over half of it growing in the African nations of Ghana and Ivory Coast.It's predicted that by 2050, climate change will have accelerated the rate at which temperatures in these countries rise, making it extremely difficult for cacao to grow there.The problem doesn't lie in increased heat, however,but in lower humidity (湿度),as it's believed that rainfall will stay at the same level if the temperature rises.“In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, it's unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture (含水量) loss,” Michon Scott, the essay's author, wrote.To help fight this problem, researchers from Berkeley University in the US are working on changing the DNA of cacao plants to allow them to survive in dryer conditions by using gene editing technology, according to US News.In the meantime, US company Mars, one of the world's biggest manufacturers of chocolate products, announced in January that it would spend $1 billion to help reduce the effects of climate change.“This is a world issue, and it requires everyone to work together,” Mars spokesperson Barry Parkin told Business Insider.The message here is that if we all do our part, we may be able to prevent some of the worst impacts of climate change. Or if we're unlucky, chocolate will become a thing of the past.(1)What could make it hard for cacao to survive around the equator in the future?A. The increased heat there.B. The higher humidity there.C. The decrease in rainfall there.D. The moisture loss in the soil there.(2)What does the underlined word “offset” in the seventh paragraph mean?A. hold backB. make up forC. protectD. accept(3)What will US company Mars do to help cacao survive?A. It will work hard to plant cacao in greenhouses.B. It will apply gene editing technology in planting cacao.C. It will give financial support to help fight climate change.D. It will develop cacao that can survive in dryer conditions.(4)What may be the best title of this text?A. Chocolate could become historyB. Work together to fight climate changeC. How do we grow cacao in the future?D. How do cacao plants affect climate change?【答案】(1)D(2)B(3)C(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,未来由于气候的变化,用于制造巧克力的可可树可能会灭绝,所以巧克力有可能会成为历史。

There have been so many places to see and so many things to do that I've not had much time for writing letters.I shall soon be starting my studies at King's College. So far I've been learning about England and British ways of living. I won't tell you about London. There are lots of books you can read and lots of pictures you can look at about this famous city. I'm sure you'll be more interested to know what I think about life here.I find some of the customs(风俗) interesting. People here do not shake hands as much as we do in the mainland(大陆)of Europe.

They were standing in the old man's garden, and talking about children. The young man said,“How strict should parents be with their children?”The old man pointed to a string(绳子)between a big strong tree and a thin young one.“Please untie(解开)that string,” he said. The young man untied it, and the young tree bent(弯)over to one side.“Nowtie it again, please,” said the old man,“but first pull the string tight so that the young tree is straight again.”The young man did so. Then the old man said,“There,it is the same with children. You must be strict with them, but sometimes you must untie the string to know how they are getting on.

He came up with an idea to make boats go faster,by using a vacuum cleaner(真空吸尘器).Using his wife's vacuum cleaner he was able to reverse(使倒转)the motor so that it blew instead of sucking. The air that blew out beneath (下面) acted as a cushion against surfaces. Years later, his principleof cushioned air made it possible for the first hovercraft(气垫船) to be successfully built and tried out. A journey along the Amazon River proved to the world that the hovercraft was both wonderful and useful. The invention that began in the kitchen and the boatyard of an ordinary home led to a thousand other inventions. Today hovercrafts carry passengers in comfort over rough channels and seas.11.The passage is mainly about _______.A.Christopher,an ordinary but imaginative engineerB.Christopher and his wife's vacuum cleanerC.Christopher and his inventionD.Christopher and his discovery12.The aim of the experiment in 1950 was _______.A.to speed up the boats B.to change the worldC.to make the boats more comfortable D.to improve vacuum cleaner 13.The underlined word “sucking” in the second paragraph probably means “___.”A.taking with great force B.drawing with great forceC.pushing with great force D.pulling with great force14.Which of the following can push the hovercraft forward rapidly?

He studied hard and did well in all his subjects. He hoped to become a good teacher. This year he left the college and began to work in a middle school. He likes his students and is strict(严格的) with them. He does his best to make his classes lively and interesting.One day he carefully explained a chemical reaction(反应) to the students of Grade 2 in the chemistry lab.“Be careful, everyone,” he said loudly.“Before I make the experiment,there're twenty five atoms of carbon(碳原子),but after I finish it, there're twenty four atoms of carbon left!”He stopped to watch the classroom and hoped his students would go on explaining it. But the young men looked at each other and nobodyanswered him. He had to ask,“What happens? What makes the atom lost?”The classroom was very quiet and none of the students looked at their teacher.“Who can tell us where it has go ne?”Suddenly a soft voice came from the back row,“We did not see anybody leave the lab!”16.Charlie began to work in the middle school because _______.

First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, with confidence (自信) and without hesitation(犹豫). Thirdly, we must do much reading. Finally, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.There are no shortcuts to success in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rulesfrom a grammar book. It is not much learning by heart long lists(一览表) of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language.If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language.We must “learn through use.” Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.21. The most important things to learn a foreign language are _____.A. understanding and speakingB. listening, speaking, reading and writingC. writing and understandingD. memorizing and listening22. Someone hears and writes English very well, but he speaks it very badly. This is because _____.A. he doesn't understand the language when he hears it spoken B. he doesn't have a good memoryC. he always remembers lists of words and their meaningsD. he often hesitates(犹豫) to practise speaking it23. One can never learn a foreign language well by _____.A. doing much practice B. studying the dictionary C. learning through use D. using the language 24. Which is the most important in learning a foreign language?A. A good memory. B. Speaking.C. Practice. D. Writing.25.“Learn through use” means ______.A. we use a language in order to learn itB. we learn a foreign language in order to use itC.we can learn a language well while we are keeping usingit D. B and C.高中一年级英语阅读训练100篇(2)高一英语阅读训练(2)AWhat is language for? Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists, the better. That's wrong. Language is for the exchange(交流) of ideas and information. It's meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules,but they can't speak correctly or fluently(流利地). They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and breakrules, too. Bernard Saw once wrote,“Foreigne rs often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They're English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It can't make another people's language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn't overdo (做过头) it. They should put communication(交际) first.1. Language is used to _____.A. express oneself B. practise grammar rulesC. talk with foreigners only D. learn lists of words 2. Generally, when an American or an Englishman speaks English, he _____.A. never makes mistakes B. often makes mistakes C. can't avoid making mistakes D. always makes mistakes 3.“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” This sentence means that __.A. foreigners speak correct EnglishB. foreigners speak incorrect EnglishC. foreigners speak English according to the grammar rulesD. foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English4. If too many native speakers break a rule,______.A. what they use will become right B. they are against the law C. they should say sorry to others D. they will become heroes 5. When we speak a foreign language, we should ______.A. speak in Chinese way B. speak by the rules C. speak to native speakers D. not be afraid of making mistakesBMr and Mrs Gordon were sitting on the sand, reading their magazines. Mr Gordon was too stingy(吝啬)to rent(租) a chair. Their twelve-year-old daughter,Sandra, was playing at the water's edge. Suddenly a huge wave lifted Sandra up and carried her out to sea. Fortunately(幸运的是),a lifeguard(救生员) was on duty and he saw the wave carry Sandra away. He ran along the beach and dived into the sea. He swam quickly to where the girl, with her head only just above the water, was shouting for help. She was very frightened. When the lifeguard reached her she struggled(挣扎) with him, as drowning(即将淹死的) people often do. However, he was a skilful lifeguard and quickly took hold of her and swam with her back to the beach. By the time he reached it, Mr and Mrs Gordon had realized what had happened. Theyhad run down to the water's edge. Neither of them could swim. They just stood in the shallow water, and worried about their daughter. Had the lifeguard reached her in time? Fortunately, he had.“That was quick work,young man,”Mr Gordon said. He turned to his wife,“Give the lifeguard a dollar.” “A dollar!” Sandra cried.“Dad,how can you give him a dollar! He saved my life. I was half dead.” “Quite right,girl ” Mr Gordon said, pleased by his daughter's awareness(知道) of the value of money. He turned to his wife again and said,“She's right. She was only half dead. Give him fifty cents.”6. What happened to Sandra?A. She ran into the sea.B. Her life was saved by a lifeguard.C. She was drowned.D. She died.7. What would probably have happened to Sandra if the lifeguard had not been on the beach?A. Her father would have saved her.B. Her mother would have saved her.C. She would have swum back to the beach.D. She would have been drowned.8. What did Mr and Mrs Gordon do when Sandra was carried out to sea by the wave?A. They shouted to the lifeguard.B. They dived into the water.C. Perhaps they were reading magazines.D. They offered the lifeguard money to save Sandra.9. Why was Sandra angry with her father?A. He did not give the lifeguard any money.B. He did not swim out to save her.C. He did not show the lifeguard hearty thankfulness.D. He gave the lifeguard too much money.10. Why was Mr Gordon pleased with her daughter?A. She was safe again.B. She was polite to the lifeguard.C. He thought she did not want him to give the life-guard too much money.D. She gave the lifeguard fifty cents.CAs one comes to some crossroads, he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop (unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road);and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, becausethey are themselves on the main road.Mr Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad.It had a “Slow” sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said,“You didn't stop at that crossing.”“But the sign there doesn't say 'stop'”,answered Mr Williams.“It just says 'Slow', and I did go slow.”The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pen away, scratched his head and said,“Well,I'm in the wrong street!”11. Mr Williams was driving ____ one evening.A. to a party B. to his officeC. home after work D. to work from home12. When he was stopped by a policeman, he _______.A. was driving at a high speed B. was driving on the main roadC. was going to stop his car D. was driving slowly 13.

Mr Williams would not apologize to himDIn Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections(注射) so that they won't carry disease. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visitpeople's houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal,you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it. People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be:Their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up,they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.16.

Any bird can come to the bird feeders to eat.EScientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts, so people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time.Why is more and more land becoming desert? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth.Some places on the earth don't get much rain. But they still don't become deserts. This is because some green plants are growing there. Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places. Plants don't let the sun make the earth even drier. Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away. When a bit of rain falls, the plants hold the water. Without plants, the land can become desert more easily.21. Deserts ________.A. never have any plants or animals in themB. can all be turned into good land before longC. are becoming smaller and smallerD. get very little rain22. Small green plants are very important to dry places because ________.A. they don't let the sun make the earth even drierB. they don't let the wind blow the soil awayC. they hold waterD.

Which is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Scientists know how to change desert into good land.B. Land is becoming desert faster than scientists can change it back into good land.C. If scientists can bring water to desert, people can live and grow food there.D. More and more places are becoming deserts all the time.25. After reading this passage, we learn that ______.A. plants can keep dry land from becoming desertB. it is good to get rid of the grass in the desertsC. all places without much rain will become desertsD. it is better to grow crops on dry land than to cut them高中一年级英语阅读训练100篇(3)高一英语阅读训练(3)AWhy do people in all countries ride in buses to school,to work and to far places?Buses can go where trains and airplanes cannot. They do not cost as much to travel on. Even though they may not move as fast asairplanes and trains,they sometimes take people between two places faster. This is because they may travel a more direct way,or may leave more often,or at better times.Buses come in different sizes. A small bus can carry only eight or ten people. A large one might have seats for fifty to seventy people and have standing room for more.Thousands of yellow school buses carry millions of children to school every year. Most of these buses have seats placed quite close together to fit in as many children as possible. Some schools buy their own buses. Others pay to use buses that belong to bus companies.City and town buses carry people for short distances. The seats of these are close together,and there is standing room as well. Most city buses have two doors so that people can get on and off quickly.Long distance buses go from state to state or country to country. They give people the chance to travel across huge stretches of land. These buses have comfortable seats that can be moved to different positions. They have places to store suitcases. Many have washrooms. All these things are important on a long trip.1. Compared with trains and planes, buses don't have the advantage of ____.A. cheap fare B. frequenttravel C. safety D. directness2. A large bus might carry ____ people.A. at most seventy B. at least seventy C. more or less than seventy D. much more than seventy 3.

Long-distance buses give people the chance to travel across ______.A. huge and continuous sections of landB. large and beautiful landC. small but beautiful landD. huge districts of land5. There are different kinds of buses mentioned in this passage except ____.A. short-distance buses B. direct busesC. school buses D. long-distance busesBEvery day millions of letters go from one country to another. Letters mailed in Italy are received in Japan. Letters mailed in Canada arereceived in Africa. On the letters are many different kinds of stamps,bought in different countries.The Universal Postal Union helps each letter get to the right place as quickly as possible. It sets up rules about the size and weight of letters,postcards,and small packages(包裹). It has rules that all countries must follow about international postal rates(费用).One hundred years ago,international mail did not move so smoothly. One country did not always accept another country's letters. Letters from some countries were too large to fit into the mailboxes of other countries. Letters travelled by many different routes (路线).Some were lost along the way.Sometimes the person who sent the letter could pay only part of the postage. The person receiving the letter had to pay the rest.The United States was the first to suggest that all countries work together to settle the questions of international mail. In 1974,men from twenty-four countries met in Switzerland to form the Universal Postal Union. Today,more than 120 nations belong to this union. From its office in Switzerland,the union helps the mail to move safely and quickly around the world.6. From the story we can infer that ______.A. mail is important to all countriesB. not enough letters are sent all over the worldC. all the letters must go to Switzerland firstD. all stamps look exactly the same7. The Universal Postal Union was formed ______.A. to help move mail quickly around the worldB. to give many men a chance to workC. to help men meet in SwitzerlandD. to look for the lost letters along the way8. Which statement does this passage leads you to believe?A. Countries around the world need each others' help.B. Most people do not put enough postage on letters.C. It is not possible for letters to get lost on the way.D. Some of the letters are too large to be put into the mailbox.9. The underl ined word “postage” in this passage means ______. A. money paid when you buy a stampB. money spent on an envelopeC. the charge for carrying a letter by postD. the pay a postman receives for his work10. This passage is mainly about ______.A. different kinds of stamps in different countriesB. an organization that makes rulesC. international mailD. the size and weight of lettersCThe earth is made up of several layers(地层).The top layer of the earth is called the earth's crust. The crust is divided into sections which are called plates.When two plates push against each other,or when two plates rub against each other,an earthquake happens. An earthquake causes the ground above the plate to shake. The shaking is caused by the movement of the plates. Earthquakes are likely to happen at the boundaries(边界) of the earth's plates. Each of these plates is about 70 kilometres thick. 11.The underlined word “crust” means “______” .A.地面 B.地皮C.地质D.地壳 12.The underlined word “sections” is closest in meaning to “____” .A. parts B. lines C. groups D. teams 13. What are plates?A. The top layer of the earth.B. Places that cause the ground to shake.C. The sections of the crust.D. Places where earthquakes happen.14. What theory is this passage based on?A. The theory of players. B. The theory of plates. C. The theory of crust. D. The theory of boundaries.15. Most earthquakes happen ______.A. under the crustB. on the largest plateC. at the places where the plates are about 70 kilometres thick D. at places where plates meetDEarthquakes are something that people fear.There are some places that have few or no earthquakes.Most places in the world,however,have them regularly(有规律的).Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous(多山的).The most talked about earthquake in the United States was in San Francisco in 1906.Over 700 people died in it.The strongest one in North America was in 1964.It happened in Alaska.Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people.In 1755,one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal.Around 2,000 people died.In 1923,a very strong earthquake hit the Tokyo,Yokohama area of Japan.A hundred and forty thousand people died.Most of them died in fires which followed the earthquake.One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in 1976.It killed alarge number of people.The worst earthquake ever reported was also in China,in which 400,000 people were killed or injured.This earthquake happened in 1556.Earthquakes worry people a lot.The reason is that we often do not know when they are coming.People can not prepare for it.16. Earthquakes happen ______.A. in all the places in the worldB. only in the countries that have a lot of mountainsC. regularly in most places in the worldD. only in a few places along the coast17.

It grows high up in the mountains,near the area where the snow stays all year long. Most of the plants are found in steep(险峻的) rock crevices (缝隙).Young men sometimes bring edelweiss back for their girl friends. The girls think of the flowers as a proof(证明) of true love too. Mountain climber guides and hunters pick edelweiss. They wear it on their hats. To them it is a sign of courage and daring(勇敢).21. Edelweiss is the national flower of ______.A. Austria B. theAlps C.

高一英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Automatic dishwashers have been around for more than 100 years. It started in 1886 with Josephine Cochrane, a woman in Shelbyville, Illinois. She was a rich woman who could afford servants to wash her dishes, so she really didn't mind the work. What she did mind was that her servants broke the dishes. She hosted quite a few dinner parties, and after every party the servants broke more of her expensive dishes.Finally, Cochrane took action. First, she measured her dishes and bent wire into racks to hold them. Next, she put the racks on a wheel in a large copper boiler. Then, the boiler sprayed hot, soapy water on the dishes as a motor turned the wheel. After a hot water rinse(冲洗), the dishes were clean!Josephine Cochrane's friends were impressed with the machine and asked her to build more. After that, word got out fast. Soon hotel and restaurant owners who didn't like broken dishes also were interested. Cochrane then knew that she had a wonderful machine, so she received a patent from the government, which said that only the inventor can make money from an invention. Then in 1893 Chicago held a World's Fair where inventions from all over the world were shown. Cochrane's labor-saving machine was a big hit. Her dishwasher won the highest award.Cochrane's company came out with a smaller machine in 1914. It was supposed to be for the ordinary home, but it wasn't an immediate success. Many homes couldn't produce the extremely hot water it needed. Also, in most homes, dishwashing wasn't considered very difficult compared to most other housework. In fact some people liked to relax at the sink after a hard day! Sales of the home model finally picked up in the 1950s when people had more money and wanted to have more time to enjoy themselves. Now many homes have electric dishwashers that aren't very different from the one Josephine Cochrane invented more than 100 years ago.(1)Why did Josephine Cochrane invent the dishwasher?A.To reduce the number of servants.B.To avoid possible damage to the dishes.C.To host more dinner parties.D.To make the dishes cleaner.(2)What does the underlined words in Paragraph 3 suggest?A.The machine wasn't as efficient as described.B.Josephine Cochrane could no longer keep it a secret.C.Josephine's friends soon began to talk about the new machine.D.The invention drew immediate attention of the public.(3)The smaller machine became popular only when_____.A.people's living conditions improvedB.hot water was not neededC.housework became easierD.people had more relaxing jobs(4)Compared with Cochrane's invention, modern electric dishwashers _____.A.cost less moneyB.are quite differentC.wash many other thingsD.are much the same【答案】(1)B(2)D(3)A(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了自动洗碗机的历史由来。

If that job was left to any other ten-year-old, it would have turned out frustrating, difficult, and a little discouraging.But Duncan was different. Not only was she already talented enough to earn money even at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence that helped her treat troubles as fuel —something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her.It's no surprise, then, that when she moved to New York to join a theatre company, she found herself restricted. The existing dancing style, their way of operating—all of this seemed to her the work of a misguided past. Duncan was very direct about what she wanted, confidently telling people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world. This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent. Today, she is remembered as "The Mother of Dance," with much of the modern art owing its expressive style to her influence. Inspired by the ancient Greeks, she brought the style to life.In her autobiography (自传), one of the things Duncan frequently refers to as the basis of her expressive spirit is the fact that she had a childhood where she wasn't constantly watched. The expectations of her mother (who raised her) were open-ended. It was the freedom of this lifestyle that drove her to see what she could do.Growing up, before she left school, she was told one of two things: that she was either completely useless or that she was a genius. There was nothing in between. Even when she started working, people either bowed to her or they basically ignored her. But there wasn't one moment Duncan doubted her own genius.There is an old quotation "if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." And it captures an important truth. At school, Isadora Duncan was a failure. In the dance hall, she gave form to brilliance.(1)What does the underlined phrase "treat troubles as fuel" mean?A.Duncan used troubles to push her forward towards her dream.B.Duncan was good at burning away everyday troubles.C.Troubles turned Duncan into a confident girl.D.Troubles lit the fire of dancing in Duncan.(2)Which of the following is TRUE about Duncan?A.Her experience in New York was the foundation of her career.B.Her teaching job when she was little destroyed her confidence.C.Her dancing style was not very well received at the beginning.D.Her mother set higher expectation on her than she could bear.(3)What does the author try to tell the readers in the last paragraph?A.It is useless climbing a tree to catch fish.B.Everybody is a genius in his own way.C.Miseries come from human stupidity.D.Teachers can impact students greatly.(4)What is this passage mainly about?A.Isadora Duncan's childhood and her achievements today.B.Duncan's career development and other dancers' opinions of her.C.Isadora Duncan's early experiences and the reasons for her success.D.Duncan's high status in the dancing world and her unique expressive style.【答案】(1)A(2)C(3)B(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,伊莎多拉·邓肯十岁时辍学去教别人跳舞,作者讲述了她的早期的经历以及其取得成功的原因。

Scientists at the University of California Berkeley, US, announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do immoral things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNA《美国国家科学院院刊》).They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive ears ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving mow modest cars.In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher — class families were more likely to act dishonestly.According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people's feelings. Finally, it just makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self- interest,” said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts(本能)and values in different ways.(1)By saying “money is the root of all evil”, the author wants to .A. link wealth with bad behaviorB. draw readers' attention to the researchC. show how the saying proves the findingsD. defend rich people who do immoral things (2)According to the scientists, which is NOT the factor that makes rich people immoral?A. They welcome risks.B. They have more desires.C. They believe money talks.D. They become more selfish.(3)Why did the scientists do the experiments?A. To show how social status affects people's morality.B. To show people's instincts and values in different ways.C. To test whether the saying “money is the root of all evil” is true.D. To show the difference between higher - class people and lower - class people.(4)What does the passage really want to show us?A. The poor are respectable.B. Money is the root of all evil.C. All rich people are untrustworthy.D. The rich are more likely to act badly.【答案】(1)B(2)A(3)A(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,作者主要通过展示几个实验的结果,旨在证明"金钱是一切罪恶的根源"这一说法可能是有一定道理的。

pointed to a string(绳子)between a big strong tree and a thin young one.“Please untie(解开)that string,” he said.The young man untied it,and the young tree bent(弯)over to one side.“Now tie it again,please,” said the old man,“but first pull the string tight so that the young tree is straight again.”The young man did so.Then the old man said,“There,it is the same with children.You must be strict with them,but sometimes you must untie the string to know how they are getting on.If they are not yet able to stand alone,you must tie the string tight again.But when you find that they

but imaginative(富于想象力)electrical engineer named Christopher Cockerell began an experiment that was soon to change the world.He came up with an idea to make boats go faster,by using a vacuum cleaner(真空吸尘器).Using his wife's vacuum cleaner he was able to reverse(使倒转)the motor so that it blew instead of sucking.The air that blew out beneath(下面)acted as a cushion against surfaces.Years later,his principle of cushioned air made it possible for the first hovercraft(气垫船)to be successfully built and tried out.A journey along the Amazon River proved to the world that the hovercraft was both wonderful and useful.The invention that began in the kitchen and the boatyard of an ordinary home led to a thousand other inventions.Today hovercrafts carry passengers in comfort over rough channels and seas.11.The passage is mainly about _______.A.Christopher,an ordinary but imaginative engineerB.Christopher and his wife's vacuum cleanerC.Christopher and his inventionD.Christopher and

his subjects.He hoped to become a good teacher.This year he left the college and began to work in a middle school.He likes his students and is strict(严格的)with them.He does his best to make his classes lively and interesting.One day he carefully explained a chemical reaction(反应)to the students of Grade 2 in the chemistry lab.“Be careful,everyone,” he said loudly.“Before I make the experiment,there're twenty five atoms of carbon(碳原子),but after I finish it,there're twenty four atoms of carbon left!”He stopped to watch the classroom and hoped his students would go on explaining it.But the young men looked at each other and nobody answered him.He had to ask,“What happens?What makes the atom lost?”The classroom was very quiet and none of the students looked at their teacher.“Who can tell us where it has gone?”Suddenly a soft voice came from the back row,“We did not see anybody leave the lab!”16.Charlie began to work in the middle school because _______.A.he had been in the school for four yearsB.he couldn't do anything except teachingC.he hoped to become a good teacherD.he did well in all his subjects17.Charlie hopes ___,so he does his best to make his classes lively and interesting.A.all his students could understand himB.his students wouldn't be afraid of himC.his students carefully watched him making the experimentD.his students could do well in

spoken.Secondly,we must be able to speak it ourselves,with confidence (自信)and without hesitation(犹豫).Thirdly,we must do much reading.Finally,we must be able to write it.We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.There are no shortcuts to success in language learning.A good memory is a great help,but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book.It is not much learning by heart long lists(一览表)of words and their meanings,studying the dictionary and so on.We must learn by using the language.If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized,we are not really learning the language.We must “learn through use.” Practice is important.We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.21.The most important things to learn a foreign language are _____.A.understanding and speakingB.listening,speaking,reading and writingC.writing and understandingD.memorizing and listening22.Someone hears and writes English very well,but he speaks it very badly.This is because _____.A.he doesn't understand the language when he hears it spokenB.he doesn't have a good memoryC.he always remembers lists of words and their meaningsD.he often hesitates(犹豫)to practise speaking it23.One can never learn a foreign language well by _____.A.doing much practice B.studying the dictionaryC.learning through use D.using the language 24.Which is the most important in learning a foreign language?A.A good memory.B.Speaking.C.Practice.D.Writing.25.“Learn through use” means ______.A.we use a language in order to learn itB.we learn a foreign language in order to use itC.we can learn a language well while we are keeping using it D.B and C.2高一英语阅读训练(2)AWhat is language for?Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists,the better.That's wrong.Language is for the exchange(交流)of ideas and information.It's meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely.Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules,but they can't speak correctly or fluently(流利地).They are afraid of making mistakes.One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language.Native speakers make mistakes and break rules,too.Bernard Saw once wrote,“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make.They're English mistakes in the English language.And if enough native speakers break a rule,it is no longer a rule.What used to be wrong becomes right.People not only make history,they make language.But a people can only make its own language.It can't make another people's language.So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar,but they shouldn't overdo(做过头)it.They should put communication(交际)first.1.Language is used to _____.A.express oneself B.practise grammar rulesC.talk with foreigners only D.learn lists of words2.Generally,when an American or an Englishman speaks English,he _____.A.never makes mistakes B.often makes mistakesC.can't avoid making mistakes D.always makes mistakes 3.“Foreigners often spea k English too correctly.” This sentence means that __.A.foreigners speak correct EnglishB.foreigners speak incorrect EnglishC.foreigners speak English according to the grammar rulesD.foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English4.If too many native speakers break a rule,______.A.what they use will become right B.they are against the lawC.they should say sorry to others D.they will become heroes 5.When we speak a foreign language,we should ______.A.speak in Chinese way B.speak by the rulesC.speak to native speakers D.not be afraid of making mistakesBMr and Mrs Gordon were sitting on the sand,reading their magazines.Mr Gordon was too stingy(吝啬)to rent(租)a chair.Their twelve-year-old daughter,Sandra,was playing at the water's edge.Suddenly a huge wave lifted Sandra up and carried her out tosea.Fortunately(幸运的是),a lifeguard(救生员)was on duty and he saw the wave carry Sandra away.He ran along the beach and dived into the sea.He swam quickly to where the girl,with her head only just above the water,was shouting for help.She was very frightened.When the lifeguard reached her she struggled(挣扎)with him,as drowning(即将淹死的)people often do.However,he was a skilful lifeguard and quickly took hold of her and swam with her back to the beach.By the time he reached it,Mr and Mrs Gordon had realized what had happened.They had run down to the water's edge.Neither of them could swim.They just stood in the shallow water,and worried about their daughter.Had the lifeguard reached her in time?Fortunately,he had.“That was quick work,young man,”Mr Gor don said.He turned to his wife,“Give the lifeguard a dollar.” “A dollar!” Sandra cried.“Dad,how can you give him a dollar!He saved my life.I was half dead.” “Quite right,girl ” Mr Gordon said,pleased by his daughter's awareness(知道)of the value of money.He turned to his wife again and said,“She's right.She was only half dead.Give him fifty cents.”6.What happened to Sandra?A.She ran into the sea.B.Her life was saved by a lifeguard.C.She was drowned.D.She died.7.What would probably have happened to Sandra if the lifeguard had not been on the beach?A.Her father would have saved her.B.Her mother would have saved her.C.She would have

water.C.Perhaps they were reading magazines.D.They offered the lifeguard money to save Sandra.9.Why was Sandra angry with her father?A.He did not give the lifeguard any money.B.He did not swim out to save her.C.He did not show the lifeguard hearty thankfulness.D.He gave the lifeguard too much money.10.Why was Mr Gordon pleased with her daughter?A.She was safe again.B.She was polite to the lifeguard.C.He thought she did not want him to give the life-guard too much money.D.She gave the lifeguard fifty cents.CAs one comes to some crossroads,he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead.At other crossroads,drivers have to go slow,but they do not actually have to stop (unless,of course,there is something coming along the main road);and at still others,they do not have either to stop or to go slow,because they are themselves on the main road.Mr Williams,who was always a very careful driver,was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad.It had a “Slow” sign.He slowed down when he came to the main road,looked both ways to see that nothing was coming,and then drove across without stopping completely.At once he heard a police whistle,so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped.A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said,“You didn't stop at that crossing.”“But the sign there doesn't say 'stop'”,answered Mr Williams.“It just says 'Slow',and I did go slow.”The policeman looked around him,and a look of surprise came over hisface.Then he put his notebook and pen away,scratched his head and said,“Well,I'm in the wrong street!”11.Mr Williams was driving ____one evening.A.to a party B.to his officeC.home after work D.to work from home12.When he was stopped by a policeman,he _______.A.was driving at a high speed B.was driving on the main road C.was going to stop his car D.was driving slowly 13.Though slowly,Mr Williams continued driving at

speak to him like thatD.Mr Williams would not apologize to himDIn Canada you can find dogs,cats,horses,etc.in almost every family.These are their pets.People love these pets and have them as their good friends.Before they keep them in their houses,they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections(注射)so that they won't carry disease.They have special animal food stores,though they can get animal food in almost every kind of store.Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food.When you visit people's houses,they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them.You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden.All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal.They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada.They have a law against killing wild animals.If you killed an animal,you would be punished.If an animal happened to get run over by a car,people would be very sad about it.People in Canada have many reasons to like animals.One of them might be:Their family ties are not as close as ours.When children grow up,they leave their parents and start their own life.Then the old will feel lonely.But pets can solve this problem.They can be good friends and never leave themalone.16.The passage mainly talks about ________.A.how to keep disease from

people can live and grow food.They are learning a lot about the deserts.But more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time.Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time.Why is more and more land becoming desert?Scientists think that people make deserts.People are doing bad things to the earth.Some places on the earth don't get much rain.But they still don't become deserts.This is because some green plants are growing there.Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places.Plants don't let the sun make the earth even drier.Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away.When a bit of rain falls,the plants hold the water.Without plants,the land can become desert more easily.21.Deserts ________.A.never have any plants or animals in themB.can all be turned into good land before longC.are becoming smaller and smallerD.get very little rain22.Small green plants are very important to dry places because ________.A.they don't let the sun make the earth even drierB.they don't let the wind blow the soil awayC.they hold waterD.All of the above.23.Land is becoming desert little by little because ______.A.plants can't grow thereB.there is not enough rainC.people haven't done what scientists wish them to doD.scientists know little about the deserts24.Which is the main idea of the first paragraph?A.Scientists know how to change desert into good land.B.Land is becoming desert faster than scientists can change it back into good land.C.If scientists can bring water to desert,people can live and grow food there.D.More and more places are becoming deserts all the time.25.After reading this passage,we learn that ______.A.plants can keep dry land from becoming desertB.it is good to get rid of the grass in the desertsC.all places without much rain will become desertsD.it is better to grow crops on dry land than to cut them3AWhy do people in all countries ride in buses to school,to work and to far places?Buses can go where trains and airplanes cannot.They do not cost as much to travel on.Even though they may not move as fast as airplanes and trains,they sometimes take people between two places faster.This is because they may travel a more direct way,or may leave more often,or at better times.Buses come in different sizes.A small bus can carry only eight or ten people.A large one might have seats for fifty to seventy people and have standing room for more.Thousands of yellow school buses carry millions of children to school every year.Most of these buses have seats placed quite close together to fit in as many children as possible.Some schools buy their own buses.Others pay to use buses that belong to bus companies.City and town buses carry people for short distances.The seats of these are close together,and there is standing room as well.Most city buses have two doors so that people can get on and off quickly.Long distance buses go from state to state or country to country.Theygive people the chance to travel across huge stretches of land.These buses have comfortable seats that can be moved to different positions.They have places to store suitcases.Many have washrooms.All these things are important on a long trip.1.Compared with trains and planes,buses don't have the advantage of ____.A.cheap fare B.frequent travel C.safety D.directness 2.A large bus might carry ____people.A.at most seventy B.at least seventyC.more or less than seventy D.much more than seventy 3.Buses have different kinds,and they ______.A.leave as frequently as possibleB.carry all kinds of travelersC.carry people according to their functionsD.have seats as close as possible4.Long-distance buses give people the chance to travel across ______.A.huge and continuous sections of landB.large and beautiful landC.small but beautiful landD.huge districts of land5.There are different kinds of buses mentioned in this passage except ____.A.short-distance buses B.direct busesC.school buses D.long-distance busesBEvery day millions of letters go from one country to another.Letters mailed in Italy are received in Japan.Letters mailed in Canada are received in Africa.On the letters are many different kinds of stamps,bought in different countries.The Universal Postal Union helps each letter get to the right place as quickly as possible.It sets up rules about the size and weight of letters,postcards,and small packages(包裹).It has rules that all countries must follow about international postal rates(费用).One hundred years ago,international mail did not move so smoothly.One country did not always accept another country's letters.Letters from some countries were too large to fit into the mailboxes of other countries.Letters travelled by many different routes(路线).Some were lost along the way.Sometimes the person who sent the letter could pay only part of the postage.The person receiving the letter had to pay the rest.The United States was the first to suggest that all countries work togetherto settle the questions of international mail.In 1974,men from twenty-four countries met in Switzerland to form the Universal Postal Union.Today,more than 120 nations belong to this union.From its office in Switzerland,the union helps the mail to move safely and quickly around the world.6.From the story we can infer that ______.A.mail is important to all countriesB.not enough letters are sent all over the worldC.all the letters must go to Switzerland firstD.all stamps look exactly the same7.The Universal Postal Union was formed ______.A.to help move mail quickly around the worldB.to give many men a chance to workC.to help men meet in SwitzerlandD.to look for the lost letters along the way8.Which statement does this passage leads you to believe?A.Countries around the world need each others' help.B.Most people do not put enough postage on letters.C.It is not possible for letters to get lost on the way.D.Some of the letters are too large to be put into the mailbox.9.The underlined word “postage” in this passage means ______.A.money paid when you buy a stampB.money spent on an envelopeC.the charge for carrying a letter by postD.the pay a postman receives for his work10.This passage is mainly about ______.A.different kinds of stamps in different countriesB.an organization that makes rulesC.international mailD.the size and weight of lettersCThe earth is made up of several layers(地层).The top layer of the earth is called the earth's crust.The crust is divided into sections which are called plates.When two plates push against each other,or when two plates rub against each other,an earthquake happens.An earthquake causes the ground above the plate to shake.The shaking is caused by the movement of the plates.Earthquakes are likely to happen at the boundaries(边界)of the earth's plates.Each of these plates is about 70 kilometres thick.11.The underlined word “crust” means “______” .A.地面B.地皮C.地质D.地壳12.The underlined word “sections” is closest in meaning to “____” .A.parts B.lines C.groups D.teams13.What are plates?A.The top layer of the earth.B.Places that cause the ground to shake.C.The sections of the crust.D.Places where earthquakes happen.14.What theory is this passage based on?A.The theory of players.B.The theory of plates.C.The theory of crust.D.The theory of boundaries.15.Most earthquakes happen ______.A.under the crustB.on the largest plateC.at the places where the plates are about 70 kilometres thickD.at places where plates meetDEarthquakes are something that people fear.There are some places that have few or no earthquakes.Most places in the world,however,have them regularly(有规律的).Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous(多山的).The most talked about earthquake in the United States was in San Francisco in 1906.Over 700 people died in it.The strongest one in North。
