盐城市第一中学高一英语时文阅读1.Three hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ, the Roman emperors still demanded that everyone believe in the Roman gods. Valentine, a Christian priest, had been thrown in prison for his teachings. On February 14, Valentine was beheaded（斩首）, not only because he was a Christian, but also because he had performed a miracle. He supposedly cured the jailer's daughter of her blindness. The night before he was executed, he wrote the jailer's daughter a farewell letter, signing it "From Your Valentine." Another legend tells us that this same Valentine, well-loved by all, received notes to his jail cell from children and friends who missed him.Another Valentine was an Italian bishop who lived at about the same time, AD 200. He was imprisoned because he secretly married couples, contrary to the laws of the Roman emperor. Some legends say he was burned at the stake.February 14 was also a Roman holiday, held in honor of a goddess. Young men randomly chose the name of a young girl to escort to the festivities. The custom of choosing a sweetheart on this date spread through Europe in the Middle Ages, and then to the early American colonies. Throughout the ages, people also believed that birds picked their mates on February 14!In AD 496 Sain Pope Gelasius I named February 14 as "Valentine's Day". Although it's not an official holiday, most Americans observe this day.Whatever the odd mixture of origins, St. Valentine's Day is now a day for sweethearts. It is the day that you show your friend or loved one that you care. You can send candy to someone you think is special. Or you can send roses, the flower of love. Most people send "valentines," a greeting card named after the notes that St. Valentine received in jail. Valentines can be sentimental, romantic and heartfelt（真心真意的）. They can be funny and friendly. If the sender is shy, valentines can be anonymous.Questions:1.What is the main idea of the text?2.What does Valentine's Day stand for(象征)?2.。

新高考高一英语时文阅读精练（含答案解析）AAs more and more forest is cleared around the world, scientists fear that the next deadly pandemic(流行病) could emerge from what lives within them.In 1997, clouds of smoke hung over the rainforests of Indonesia as an area roughly the size of Pennsylvania was burned to make way for agriculture, making the fires worse by drought. Owing to the haze, the trees couldn’t produce fruit, leaving resident fruit bats with no other option than to fly elsewhere in search of food, carrying with them a deadly disease.Not long after the bats settled on trees in Malaysian orchards, pigs around them started to fall sick—probably after eating fallen fruit the bats had already eaten—as did local pig farmers. By 1999, 265 people had developed a severe brain inflammation, and 105 had died. It was the first known appearance of Nipah virus in people, which has since caused a string of recurrent(反复的) outbreaks across Southeast Asia.Over the past two decades, a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that deforestation creates the conditions for a range of deadly pathogens(病原体)—such as Nipah and Lassa viruses—to spread to people.As widespread burning continues today in tropical forests in the Amazon, and some parts of Africa and Southeast Asia, experts have expressed concern about the health of people living at the border of deforestation. They’re also afraid that the next serious pandemic could emerge from our world’s forests.“It’s pretty well established that deforestation can be a strong driver of infectious disease,” says Andy MacDonald, a disease ecologist at the Earth Research Institute of the University of California, Santa Barbara. “The more we lower and clear forest habitats, the more likely it is that we’re going to find ourselves in these situations where pandemics of infectious diseases occur.”1.The Indonesians burned the rainforests in order for ______.A.firewoodB. catching batsC. planting fruit treesD. farm land2.Which is the right order of affected creatures?A.bats→ pigs → peopleB.pigs→ bats → pig farmersC.people→ bats → pigsD.pig farmers → pigs → bats3.What does the underlined word “deforestation” in Paragraph Four mean?.A.湿地B. 毁林C. 果园D. 养猪场4.Why do experts worry about the people around the ruined forests?A.Because some sick people live in the ruined forests.B.Because the ruined forests may have pathogens.C.Because there are too many bats there.D.Because the ruined forests are dirty.【答案】1~4 DABB【解析】本文为一篇说明文，说明了森林的破坏会导致致命的疾病，呼吁大家珍惜森林。

词数332 建议阅读时间6分钟Zhou Shihao, 17, ofShanghai Yichuan High School,was shocked by the statistics (数据) he had found. When he was looking into the use of handheld cellphones by drivers, he found that more than 30 percent of them reach for their phones on the road.“No use of handheld devices should be allowed while driving,” said Zhou. “It’s not a trifle (琐事), but a serious social issue.”The teenager’s concerns led to his drafting (拟稿) a proposal (提案) on this issue, something he did together with five other schoolmates in the Mock (模拟的) Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)competition in the Putuo District of Shanghai.Zhou and his schoolmates were not alone. In January, many Shanghai youngsters, even elementary school students, took part in Mock CPPCC competitions held in their local districts and handed in proposals on issues ranging from cyber security (网络安全) and the future city to the protection of traditional culture.“The competition encourages us to focus on social issues and play an active rolein taking responsibility for our country,” said Zhang Simin, 17, of Shanghai Nanyang High School.The senior student used to think that the handling of state affairs was just for politicians. But thinking on the “half-past three problem” changed her mind.Kids usually finish school at half-past three; however, most parents work until six, making it hard for them to pick kids up. “This is a problem we’ve all been through,” said Zhang.To help students, Zhang’s school invited deputies to the National People’s Congress (全国人大代表) to give students instruction.“Thanks to the deputies, we finally understand that it’s not who is to blame (指责) that matters, but finding the best solution,” said Zhang.“The competition aims to encourage a sense of citizenship among China’s post-00s generation,” said Xia Jing, a teacher from Shanghai Jinyuan Senior High School. “Through this channel, students can let their voices be heard.”Passage2A dad who stands tallAs the taxi pulls away, my father stands at the living room window looking out, watching me move off into the darkness, at 4:30 am. His grey hair is messy from sleeping.Moments ago, he got up to carry my suitcase for me, despite the fact that it’s the middle of the night. He set it down for me on the front step in the cold morning air.He thanked me for my cooking and for having traveled so far to spend the holiday with him. I told him that I worry about his loneliness and the sudden emptiness of the house, as he goes back to bed alone, to wake later, with no one there.“I have my projects,” he said, in the moments before I walked out the door.When I arrived 10 days ago, I felt the stillness in the house. It was quiet and lifeless. Then my brothers and I came and filled the rooms. But, now, they’re gone;I am the last to leave.As the taxi began to depart (离开), I watched the lights go off, but my father didn’t leave. Even though he couldn’t see me in the dark, he stood by the window watching, his figure framed by the window, beside the tree. It was a fresh tree. He buys one every year. Always, it is ready to decorate when we arrive.Like trees, my father endures (承受) hardships in life: the untimely (过早地) death of my mother years ago, and now his children have scattered (分散) far from home, our selfish choices taking us from one end of the country to the other. The life of the tree is short; my father’s is long and strong. But both of them are tall and straight.I watched him as he waited in the living room, where we sat, talked, had dinners, held our parties, watched the news, waited for the beauty of twilight (暮色) each late afternoon – and said goodbye.He stands still as the taxi pulls away.Are there tears in his eyes, as there are in mine?I can’t wave from the taxi, as I abandon a parent to loneliness in the earlymorning darkness.I leave behind two trees: one with silver-grey hair, the other still freshly green.But I haven’t the strength of either one.

时文阅读理解1-3

A British scientist won the Nobel Prize in medicine and physiology in 2012 for his famous work on cloning(克隆). However, his schoolmasters always told him he was too foolish to study the subject.At 15, John Gurdon was the last one of the 250 boys studying biology. Sixty-four years later, he has been recognized as one of the finest minds after getting the Nobel Prize. He shares it with Japanese researcher Shinya Yamanaka.Sir John said that his school report still sits above his desk at the Gurdon Institute in Cambridge, which is named in his honor. Sir John said it’s the only item he’s ever framed(给…加框). The master, Mr Gaddum, had taught these pupils. He said: "I heard Gurdon was interested in science. It was funny. When you have problems, perhaps you aren’t so good at this job."After receiving the report, Sir John turned to another subject and was offered a place to study at Christ Church, Oxford, but was allowed to change courses. It was at Oxford that he published his research on genetics(基因学). But it was 10 years before his work became widely accepted. But it later led directly to the cloning of Dolly the Sheep by Ian Wilmut in 1996, and to Yamanaka’s discovery. But Sir John thought it would have been "nicer" if Professor Wilmut had been given a third share of the prize.He joined the university in 1971 and was a founding member of the Wellcome/CRC Institute for Cell Biology and Cancer in1989. It was later renamed the Gurdon Institute, where he still works full-time at 79.He first heard about his prize when an Italian newspaper telephoned him in his lab to ask for his feeling at 7.30 am on Monday morning. An hour later he received a call from the Swedish Academy(瑞典学院) telling him he had won the prize, but he had thought that the call was from a friend speaking in a Swedish accent.★1. John Gurdon kept his school report in order to B .A. laugh at his schoolmastersB. encourage himself to work hardC. become a Nobel Prize winnerD. remember his happy childhood2. What did John Gurdon do after he received his school report? DA. He didn’t change his subjects.B. He was refused to enter school.C. He directly studied genetics.D. He still kept learning biology.3. Why did the Gurdon Institute get its present name? AA. In honor of John Gurdon.B. To remember John Gurdon’s prize.C. To help John Gurdon win a prize.D. It happened to use the same name.4. It can be inferred from the text that when John Gurdon first heard about his prize, he thoughtD .A. it was really good newsB. his friends were laughing at himC. it was nothing to mentionD. it was hard to believeA 44-year-old Swedish man, Peter Skyllberg, was found in a car buried under snow, at the end of a forest track more than 1 km from a main road in northern Sweden. He survived for two months by eating handfuls of snow. But how long can people go without food?Skyllberg h ad been inside the car since 19 December, 2011. Experts believe it’s possible for the human body to survive without food for up to two months. Last year, a 56-year-old woman from British Columbia survived nearly 50 days in the Nevada wilderness on sweets and waterafter being stranded in the mountains while her husband went in search of help.★In fact there’re many causes that can influence a person’s ability to survive, such as the way the body’s metabolism(新陈代谢) slows down to keep energy. When the body stops getting food, it has to live on the stored sugars. When this runs out, fat is then turned into the second energy supply. After the fat runs out, the body must take recycled protein(蛋白质) from the system and finally from the muscles. But this is very expensive fuel for the body. It’s like being in a cold house and burning furniture instead of firewood. However, the muscle loss slows the body’s work, causing it to burn calories at a slower rate.Being trapped into a small space would have helped Skyllberg keep precious calories. The car was covered in snow, creating what some experts have des cribed as an “igloo(因纽特人小屋) effect” on the car.A person’s mental state can play a key role in how long they survive, according to Stephen Joseph, a professor at the University of Nottingham. “In dangerous situations, survival depends on personalities. Some might lose hope, w hile others are more hopeful.”says Joseph. “Hope is probably a big key to this.”1. Why did the text mention the 56-year-old woman from British Columbia? AA. To show man can survive two months without food.B. To prove that Peter Skyllberg’s story was not true.C. To tell if Peter Skyllberg survived longer than her.D. To show she was strong enough to survive so long.2. The underlined word “stranded” in Paragraph 2 means ___A___.A. trappedB. worriedC. attackedD. frightened3. Which of the following shows the right order of human body getting energy when there is no food? DA. stored sugars→recycled protein→fatB. recycled protein→fat→stored sugarsC. fat→recycled protein→stored sugarsD. stored sugars→fat→recycled protein4. What may partly lead to Peter Skyllberg’s survival of two months according to the text? DA. Enough food.B. Fast metabolism.C. Low temperature.D. High spirits.Some amazing kids have been in the news recently. Here are two who have made big achievements in the sports world.Lydia Ko recently won the Canadian Women’s Open golf tournament. It’s a tournament for female golfers – adult golfers. Ko, however, is just 15 years old.Ko lives in Auckland, New Zealand.

The glove Ko used in the tournament was sent to the Golf Hall of Fame in Florida.Just about a week before Ko was making history in B.C., Annaleise Carr was making wavesin Ontario.On Aug.19, she became the youngest person to swim the 52 kms across Lake Ontario.

The Car of the Future
It talks, it thinks, it can drive itself! The car of the future will run on new energy, act cleverer and look very different to the cars of today. It seems as though cars of the future will get their power from energy from the sun. The sun will shine on the car; special equipment in the roof and body of the car will make the sun rays into energy. This energy will make the car quieter to drive and it will be kinder to the environment as there will be no pollution from the car. The steering wheel will have controls on either side of it; you will be able to control everything in the car from the steering wheel. Pedals and mirrors will be replaced by tiny cameras that will show you what is happening around the car on computer screens. The car will be made of some kind of hard material, not metal, that will be able to be recycled. The car will have no wheels, but will rather move above the ground, making it easier to drive than an ordinary car. Sounds exciting, doesn't it? Well, imagine this: you are off to work. You get into the driver's seat of your car. The seat and the temperature are set exactly as you like them and the satellite-radio is on your favourite station. It doesn't matter that someone else drove the car last night; the car knows that you are in it now. The car will also be able to identify any passengers that you may have and set the seat and temperature for them. On the way, you decide to do some work. This type of car knows the speed that you should be travelling, so you set the car to drive itself and it gets you there safely. Any e-mails you may want to send on the ride to work may be sent through the car's computer. Best of all,. it can communicate with your home computer and have it send the shopping list to your nearest store. When you get to the store after work everything is paid for and ready to take home. So, it would seem that the cars of the future are something to look forward to.
Words:
1.steering wheel 方向盘
2.pedal 踏板
