高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 234Passage 1Apple announced its new iPhones last week, but competitors’ mobile phones can do many of the same things for less money.The new iPhone 8 and X have wireless charging, edge-to-edge glass screen and double cameras. But all of these features are already available in smart phones from China’s Huawei and Oppo, and Korea’s Samsung. While Apple asks buyers to pay $1,000 for its high-end model, some Asian phone makers can offer similar features for less.At one time, Chinese manufacturers copied features and designs from others to produce low-cost phones. But they have now added high-end features to their phones and they control nearly half the global mobile phone market.Media MarktSaturn is Europe’s biggest electronics seller. A spokesperson for the store told Reuters that,“Huawei is seen as a relevant competitor to Apple and Samsung by covering all major price points and placing big investments in marketing and sales. ’’ She also said that the Chinese companies Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo and TCL were among the top-10 best-selling smart phones in its stores.Chinese manufacturers’ fast growth has been fueled by strong sales in China. But they now export 40 percent of their smart phones. That is almost double the number from just three years ago, according to the Hong Kong investment company CLSA.Huawei is currently the world’s third largest phone maker behind Samsung and Apple. According to research company Canalys, the Chinese company is getting closerto second-place Apple and might overtake it later this year. Huawei plans to show its top-of-the-line Mate 10 phone on Oct. 13.

He was very wise and forward-thinking. He worked out several reform plans for the state, including focusing onfarming and giving rewards to soldiers who were successful during war.But at the beginning, these reforms were not easily carried out. Only a few people in the state understood Shang's talent and the advantages of his plans. Most people had little trust and confidence in him.To solve this problem, Shang came up with an idea. He ordered some soldiers to put a thin wooden pole at the south gate of the Qin state capital. This attracted many people. Then, in front of the crowd, he said loudly: "People of Qin, whoever takes this pole to the north gate will get a reward of 10 gold pieces. "It was a simple task and the reward was big. Some time passed and no one stepped forward. They all thought that Shang was joking. Hearing no answer, Shang stepped forward and said, "I will increase the reward to 50 gold pieces. "The words sounded even more unbelievable. Finally, a man from the crowd came forward to take the pole. He put the pole on his shoulders and walked to the north gate. True to his word, Shang paid the man 50 gold pieces.Soon, the people were saying that Shang was a man of his word. When he began promoting (推行) his reforms, the people followed and did not question him.Under the great reforms Qin grew strong and united all the states, becoming the first empire of China. Later, people drew the Chinese idiom "立木取信" from this story.1. Shang Yang's reforms ________ .A. were never trusted by peopleB. made Qin grow strongC. were carried out easily at the beginningD. focused on farming and education2. To let people trust him, Shang Yang, ________ .A. ordered many young men to join the armyB. gave a reward to anyone who supported himC. showed that he could keep his promisesD. introduced his reforms at the south gate of the capital3. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage? ________A. The Chinese idiom "立木取信" just came from this story.B. Under the reforms, Qin united all the states.C. The man who carried the pole 1o the north gate was paid only 10 gold pieces.D. At first, only a few people in the state understood the advantages of Shang Yang's plans.4. What can we know form this story? ________A. Earing people's trust is never easy.B. Keeping promises can earn people's trust.C. Money can lead people 10 do anything in the world.D. Reforms are important for a country to develop.Passage 3Modern fathers spend an average of six and a half hours a week playing with their children. A study said this equals 338 hours a year, or just over 14 days, three wholedays more fun time than their own fathers spent with them.The report said modern parents are "adventurous", as many encourage their children to play outside. A third of parents also prefer family trips which encourage children to learn new still and most say that having fun together improves family ties. The study said the lack of time that today's parents shared with their own dads encouraged them to be more active with their children.Dr. Amanda Gummer, psychologist and founder of Fundamentally Children, a company which provides advice on child development, said being adventurous helps children. She said, "Being adventurous from an early age helps children develop important skill that will as throughout childhood and set them up for a healthy and successful adulthood. “Outdoor activities are a popular choice for dads and their children, with 40 percent choosing nature trails and 26 percent looking for wildlife, while 13 percent say their top outdoor activity is climbing trees. The simple things are the most popular, with 46 percent going to the park and 41 percent choosing to kick a ball around their children.Dr. Gummer said, "Children are able to challenge themselves by being more adventurous and they can be safe in the knowledge that their dad will be there to help if things start getting out of control. Parents can help encourage their children's adventurous, outdoor spirit with wildlife treasure hunts and adventure playgrounds. They can even do more exciting things, like going on camping trips. "1. From the first paragraph, we can learn that modem fathers spend ________ a year on average playing with their children.A. three whole daysB. more than 14 daysC. 338 daysD. six and a half hours2. As for outdoor activities, which activity is most likely to enjoy popularity among dads and their children? ________A. climb treesB. look for wildlifeC. go to the parkD. Kick a ball around3. According to Dr. Gummer, We can learn that. ________A. children can benefit from challenging themselvesB. children should be adventurous as early as possibleC. parents shouldn't help their children when things go wrongD. the skills developed doesn't carry over to adulthood4. What's the main idea of the passage? ________A. How children can be adventurousB. What activities fathers can do with their childrenC. Today's fathers should play more with their childrenD. Today's fathers are spending more time playing with their childrenPassage 4A small town in southwest Britain is banning plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut waste—a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.Shopkeepers in Modbury, population 1, 500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bagswould be offered instead.Last month, San Francisco became the first U. S city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty (宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for recycling.The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking. who saw the effect of bags on marine life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response (反应) in the town so far had been "really positive"."Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway, " Hosking told Sky News Television.The Worldwatch Institute, an environment research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 are used yearly around the world.1. What was Rebecca Hosking? ________A. lawyer.B. An environmentalist.C. A sailor.D. A photographer.2. The underlined word "disposable" in the passage probably means ________.A. acceptableB. valuableC. throw-awayD. long-lasting3. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bagsB. fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the worldC. San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the worldD. most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags4. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? ________A. Environment ProtectionB. Big Cities Banning Plastic BagsC. Effect of Plastic Bags on Sea AnimalsD. British Town Banning Plastic BagsPassage 5Eating out is such a pleasure ― the food, the wine, the joy of having it all brought to you by someone else ― that it's a pity to ruin the experience by sharing it with other people.Well, I do like visiting restaurants with friends. But dining out alone has its own very special attractions. For a start you can give all your attention to the food. There's nothing worse than having to invent and deliver an opinion on school league tables orSanchez's move to Manchester United, plus listen to everyone else's opinions, when all you really want to do is enjoy each mouthful along the way.A second great thing about eating out alone is the chance to combine food with one of life's other true pleasures: reading. You have to plan this carefully: Indian or Chinese restaurants are best ― you need food you can eat with just one hand, leaving the other free to hold your reading material.But perhaps the biggest attraction of a table for one is the chance it gives to people-watching. Restaurants and the different reasons for visiting them ― first date, business meeting, night out with friends ― produce human behavior of surprising richness and variety. Will the man selling his business idea get any joy out of his possible investor (投资者)? Will the married couple think of anything to say to each other before their main courses arrive?This "human zoo" part of eating out alone is one of the reasons I'd hate to be famous: everyone would be watching you, so you wouldn't be able to watch them. The snooker player Steve Davis says this was one of the strangest consequences (后果) of becoming well-known: he got very worried about his eating in public, almost to the level of doubting whether he was "doing it right. "So next time you're considering your eating out choices, remember the advice of the businessman Nubar Gulbenkian: "The best number for a dinner party is two ― myself and a super head waiter. "1. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The reasons for eating out alone.B. The trouble with eating in public.C. The suggestions about dining out.D. The fear of making dining choices.2. What is the best part of dining out alone?A. One can fix one's eyes on the food.B. One can enjoy reading while eating.C. One is likely to come across famous people.D. One is given the chance to watch other diners3. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 5?A. Steve Davis cared too much about table manners.B. Famous people are always the center of attention.C. Being famous may ruin the joy of eating out alone.D. Being watched seems far better than watching others.4. What is suggested at the end of the text?A. Dining with friends.B. Chatting over dinner.C. Having a table for one.D. Sharing a table with a waiter.参考答案Passage 11. D主旨大意题。

高二英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 200

高二英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 200Passage 1My daughter went to see The Wild One recently and she commented that Marlon Brando was wearing jeans so long ago. Of course, he helped set the trend, so that got me thinking about the link between films and trends in fashion. Fashion and films have gone hand in hand for long. The Wild One is a good example: it appeared in 1954, starring Brando. Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket, leather cap and jeans, he created a look which is still considered "cool" today. Everyone from Madonna to middle-aged men is seen wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.Another strong influence on fashion trends was Breakfast at Tiffany’s, starring Audrey Hepburn. She made famous the simple black dress that looks perfect at either a cocktail party or just standing around an expensive department store like Tiffany’s with a pastry and coffee in your hand, as Audrey Hepburn does in the film. She looks so elegant, wearing simple but beautiful dresses, big dark glasses and a string of pearls around her neck. Audrey Hepburn still influences women's fashion with her "Tiffany's look".In more modern times, the film star Uma Thurman created a major fashion trend when she appeared in the film Pulp Fiction, made in 1994. Her style was very simple. Her black trousers, crisp white shirt and hair style was copied by women in the world.Influencing fashion trends can often be about timing. The movie Memoirs of a Geisha came just in time to start a trend in Japanese fashion. It starred the Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, who wore beautiful silk kimonos (和服), and it won an Oscar for Costume Design. Many travel companies picked up on the trend and ran "geisha trips" to Japan. The film has also led to a regained interest in kimonos. It is now quite common to see young Japanese women wearing kimonos not just on traditional occasions, but at various social events. The fashion is also beginning to spread to Western countries.1. What is the best title of the passage? ________A. Films and fashionB. Stars' fashionC. Influential filmsD. Film cultures2. Who will people associate Madonna wearing the leather motorcycle jacket with？________A. Zhang Ziyi.B. Audrey Hepburn.C. Uma Thurman.D. Marlon Brando3. What is implied in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s according to the passage？________A. One can be active by wearing black.B. One can be elegant by dressing simply.C. One can be famous by looking perfect.D. One can be stylish by eating at Tiffany’s4. What does the film Memoirs of a Geisha lead to？________A. The popularity of the Chinese actress.B. The worldwide reading of Geisha stories.C. The recovery of interest in kimonos.D. The “geisha trips” to social events.Passage 2Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son.A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional (额外的) learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle,twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception (例外) to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.1. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?________A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are easy to remember.2. The author explains the law of overlearning by________ .A. presenting research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples3. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tablesis________ .A. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies4. What is the author's opinion on cramming?________A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. It's helpful only in a limited way.C. It's possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students' learning interest.Passage 3Scott Halley was a farmer. . . until a year ago. But the farm kept losing money. "You look at the numbers at the end of the pencil, " said Mr. Halley, 44. "and you realize it's time to try something different. "With a heavy heart but a clear head, Mr. Halley became one of the thousands of American farmers who sell their land each year. What surprised Mr. Halley and others is that the move to the city was so easy. The famers are finding jobs and their families are enjoying the city way of life.Mr. Halley found a good job working as a scientist at North DakotaStale University. His salary is now twice what it was when he was a farmer.But even for those farmers who find good jobs, there is a price to pay in leaving farming."It's not just about making money but about the other rewards that farming can bring. . . working land your parent's parents worked, spending your days in nature, caring for animals, " said Dr. Michael Rosmann, a farmer and psychologist who helps farmers. "For most of them, that pain lasts for the rest of their lives. To make the decision to quit farming, to do what's best for the family, takes an awful lot of courage. " Mr. Halley feels the pull of the land every day. Once a week, he drives eight hours to work a small piece of his old farm.It was hard to leave, but Mr. Halley knows he did the right thing. For most families that leave the land, salary goes up and the stress from having little money goes down. Both parents and children are happier.Halley's children love living in the city."The kids don't want to go back now, "said Mr. Halley. "The telephone never stops ringing. "Megan Halley, 13, spoke with excitement about her new school. She especially likes art and computer technology. "Back on the farm. " she said. "the old phone system took five minutes or more just to dial up the Internet.""It's cool here. " said Megan. She loves going to the nearby mall to shop for new clothes and get the latest CDs of her favorite group. The closest store to the Halleys' farm was a 10-mile drive.Before moving to the city, Megan worried about getting along with city kids. "The boys here aren't any different than back in the country, "she said, "There's just a lot more of them. "1. Why did Mr. Halley decide to quit farming one year ago?________A. He didn't like faming any longer.B. He found a more satisfactory job in the city.C. He can hardly make money to support his family.D. It is not so convenient to live on the farm.2. Why does Mr. Halley drive back to his old farm once a week?________A. To keep his connection to the land.B. To appreciate the beautiful scenery.C. To do a part-time job to earn more money.D. To relax himself from work.3. According to Megan, what words can be used to describe the life in the country?________A. Comfortable and peaceful.B. Inconvenient and boring.C. Easy and worthwhile.D. Busy and meaningful.Passage 4Are We Grown up Yet? Study says not till 26. Most Americans believe someone isn't grown up until age 26, probably with a completed education, a full-time job, a family to support and financial independence, a survey said. But they also believe that becoming an official grown-up is a process that takes five years from about the age of 20, concluded the report from the University of Chicago's National Opinion Research Center. The findings were based on a representative sample of 1 398 people over age 18 surveyed in person in 2002.The survey found the following ages at which people expect the changes to grown-ups to be completed: Age 20. 9 self-supporting; 21. 1 no longer living with parents; 21. 2 full-time job; 22. 3 education complete;24. 5 being able to support a family financially; 25. 7 married; and 26. 2 having a child. "It is generally accepted by social groups on the relative importance of the seven changes. " said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only disagreement is on views about supporting a family, having a child and getting married. "Older adults and the widowed and married regard these as more important than younger adults. " he added. "This probably reflects in large part a change in values across generations away from traditional family values. "The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, was completing an education, followed by full-time employment supporting a family, financial independence, living marriage andparenthood.1. The most important step in growing up is ________.A. getting a full-time jobB. finishing educationC. supporting a familyD. getting married2. When is the second important step in growing up completed?A. 21. 2.B. 20. 9.C. 24. 5.D. 26. 2.3. Who take the results of the survey less seriously?A. Widows.B. Older adults.C. Married people.D. Younger people.4. The writer writes about the survey in a(an) way.A. argumentativeB. positiveC. negativeD. objectivePassage 5Some parents can’t resist the strong desire to help their children playhooky（逃学）for a trip. Five-year-old Erica and her siblings Alex, 9, and Kate, 12, missed school in Denver on Aug 21, 2017. Their father Mr. Reed took them on a camping trip to Halsey to see the solar eclipse（日食）. Kate had told her teachers she’d be absent and Mr. Reed let Erica’s and Alex’s teachers know, too. But he didn’t ask for permission.Mr Reed, has loved astronomy since seeing Neil Armstrong walk on the moon on his sixth birthday. He says, “I want my own kids to have a similar kind of wonderment and hope about future discoveries. ”Parents often dream of traveling with their children to teach them about science, geography and culture. Many teachers support them, as the Reed children’s teachers did. Other teachers were angry about the extra workTeacher Amanda says she feels frustrated when parents take students out of school for family trips. If she sends homework, she finds it’s often returned incomplete or incorrect because the absent student didn’t hear her explanation in class. Some students suffer anxiety as they struggle to catch up. Research shows that students who are absent often for any reason -- excused or unexcused -- performed more poorly in school.Garrick agreed to miss five days of school for the Antarctic trip last year as a senior high school student, however. Managing the homework was a challenge, but it helped him gain time management skills. And the trip is worth the effort, he says, sparking his interest in internationalrelations. “You can’t really put a price on changing your world view, “Garrick says. “That’s what travel has done for me. It has changed how I think about things. “1. What’ s the teachers’ attitude toward“playing hooky”？________A. They support it as it offers children hope about future discoveries.B. It angers them because the homework is often returned incorrect.C. They hold different kinds of views about playing hooky.D. They are against it because too many students are absent.2. According to the passage, why do the students have a poorer performance in school？________A. Because they are often absent for any reason.B. Because they are not interested in study at all.C. Because they travel with their parents too much.D. Because they don’t do the homework regularly.3. What benefit did Garrick get from his trip to Antarctica？________A. It made him lose time management skills.B. It changed little of his world view.C. It awoke his interest in international relations.D. It made him more creative.参考答案Passage 11. A最佳标题题。

高二英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 234Passage 1In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five fays off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I'd hitch a ride(搭便车).I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn't give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured(使……放心) me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favor I'd been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, "You haven't changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same. " I couldn't remember where I'd met him. He then told me he was the man who had given melunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.1.

Though he didn't help much around the house, Ricky was still very pleased when his parents bought him the latest model of robot. As soon as it arrived off, it went, cooking, cleaning, ironing, and—most importantly—gathering up clothes from Ricky's bedroom floor. On that first day, when Ricky went to sleep, he had left his bedroom in a truly disastrous state. When he woke up the next morning, everything was perfectly clean and tidy.In fact, it was actually too clean; now Ricky couldn't find his favourite T-shirt, nor his favourite toy. However much he searched, the two things did not reappear. The same was starting to happen to other things. Ricky began to suspect the robot. He hatched a plan to spy on the robot, and began following it around the house. Finally, he caught it red-handed.Ricky told his parents that the robot was broken and badly programmed and asked them to have it changed. But his parents told him absolutely not; they were delighted with the new robot, and it cooked like a dream.One day, the robot was whirring(嗡嗡地响) past, and heard the boy's complaints. The robot returned with one of the boy's toys, and some clothesfor him."Here, sir. I did not know it was bothering you, " said the robot."How could it not, you thief? You've been stealing my belongings for weeks!" the boy answered angrily."The objects were left on the floor. I therefore calculated that you did not like them. I am programmed to collect all that are not wanted, and at night I send them to people who can use them. I am a maximum efficiency(效率) machine. Were you unaware?" the robot said, with a certain pride.Ricky started feeling ashamed. He understood that the robot was neither broken nor misprogrammed. Rather, it had been programmed extremely well.Since then, Ricky has decided to become a "Maximum Efficiency boy", and put real care into how he treated his things. He kept them tidy, and made sure he didn't have more than was necessary. And, often, he would buy things, and take them along with his good friend, the robot, to help out those other people who needed them.1. What is the robot programmed to do?________A. Communicate with humans.B. Take care of children.C. Do the housework.D. Recycle used objects.2. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean?________A. The robot had no time for cooking.B. The robot was good at cooking.C. The robot was interested in cooking.D. The robot dreamed of being a cook.3. Ricky felt ashamed because________ .A. he didn't accept the robot at first.B. he didn't take good care of his things.C. he told his parents to change the robot.D. he had misunderstood the robot.4. Where is this text probably from?________A. A science fiction.B. An entertainment magazine.C. An advertisement.D. A science reportPassage 3Reese Witherspoon was born on March 22, 1976 in New Orleans, Louisiana. She is the second child of the family. Reese spent the first four years of her life in Wiesbaden, Germany, where her father John Witherspoon served in the US Army Reserves. Shortly after, John moved the family back to the United States, settling in Nashville, Tennessee.Reese was introduced to the entertainment industry at a very early age. At age 7, she began modeling. This led to appearances on several local television commercials. At age 11, she was placed first in a Ten-State Talent Fair.In 1990, she landed her first major acting role in The Man in the Moon (1991). Her role as a 14-year old tomboy earned her good reviews. Roles in bigger films such as Jack the Bear (1993) and A Far Off Place (1993) followed shortly after.Following high school graduation in 1994, Reese decided to have a pause in her acting career and attend Stanford University where she would major in English literature. However, her plans were shortly stopped when she accepted roles to star in two major motion pictures. Although neither film was a huge box-office success, they did help to make Reese a rising star in Hollywood and open the door for bigger and better film roles.Her breakthrough role came as Elle Woods in the 2001 comedy Legally Blonde. In box office terms, the movie was a great success and made Reese one of the top female stars in Hollywood. In the year 2014, she produced both Gone Girl and Wild, for which she got nominated(提名) for a best actress Oscar again for her role.Reese is actively involved in children’s and women’s advocacy organizations. She is a longtime supporter of Save the Children, an organization that helps provide children around the world with education,health care and emergency aid.1. Why did Reese stop her studies at Stanford University?________A. Because she starred in two successful films.B. Because she couldn’t balance studies and acting.C. Because she didn’t want to get higher education.D. Because she was more famous in Hollywood.2. Which film made Reese most famous?________A. The Man in the Moon.B. Jack the Bear.C. A Far Off Place.D. Legally Blonde.3. What is the author’s attitude toward Reese?________A. CaringB. DefensiveC. CriticalD. Admiring4. How does the passage develop?________A. Following the order of timeB. Using figuresC. Giving examplesD. Making comparisonPassage 4At primary school in New Zealand, I was introduced to a schoolsavings account run by one of the local banks. When our money box was full, we took it to the bank and watched with pride as our coins flowed across the counter. As a reward, we could choose our next money box from a small variety, and start the whole savings routine again. Every week I watched my parents sort out the housekeeping and "make ends meet". Sometimes it was annoying to wait for things we really felt we needed.Later, as a university student, I managed on an extremely small student allowance. Students were ignored by banks then, because we were so poor, and there was no way I could have gotten credit, even if I had tried. We collected our allowance three times each year, deposited it to the best advantage and withdrew it little by little to last until the next payout of the allowance.When our daughter, Sophie, began to walk, we made a purposeful choice to encourage her to use money wisely. We often comment when the TV tells us "You owe it to yourself to borrow our money"—to whom do we really owe it? And what would happen if our income were reduced or dried up? Now, as a 12-year-old child, it’s almost embarrassing to see her tight "financial policy", and wait for the unavoidable holiday sales to buy what she wants.I agree that financial education in schools is very important. But the root of the problem lies with us and the way we behave as role models to those who follow.1. What did the author learn from her parents?________A. How to become a banker.B. Where to open a savings account.C. Where to choose a money box.D. How to make ends meet.2. How did the author manage the student allowance?________A. He applied for a credit card.B. He spent it three times a year.C. He put it in the bank.D. He seldom withdrew it.3. What reflects Sophie's tight "financial policy"?________A. Reducing her savings.B. Buying things on sales.C. Canceling holiday plans.D. Borrowing money from banks.4. What’s the text mainly about?________A. Parents’ money problems.B. Students’ school performance.C. Children’s saving behavior.D. Children’s financial education.Passage 5US food author M. F. K. Fisher once wrote about humans, "First we eat, then we do everything else. "This is why each year we celebrate World Food Day, which falls on Oct. 16. But despite the importance of food around the world, food cultures often differ greatly from country to country. For example, things like chicken feet, duck heads, and pig brains are commonly eaten in Asia. If you asked most Westerners to try one of these things, though, the very thought would probably be enough to make them give up meat altogether.At the same time, however, the majority of people in Western nations regard themselves as meat eaters. So, what could be the reason behind this double standard?There are a number of possible answers to that question, yet one major reason could lie in recent cultural changes. During the mid-20th century and the years following it, eating most parts of an animal was common in many Western countries such as the UK — perhaps owing to rationing (定量配给) as a result of World War(1939-1945).But later, during the 1960s and 70s, following the introduction of highways in the US and the UK, the popularity of supermarkets in those countries increased, wrote Francesco Burnett, author of Cultural History of Meat: 1900-The Present.Thanks to the popularity and convenience of supermarkets which tend not to sell animal parts such as the head or limbs (四肢), the public'sattitude of meat soon shifted. "The 'animal' gradually disappeared from meat, and people's ignorance about what animal the meat they ate came from increased. " Burnett added.As a result, it's believed that many Western cultures slowly began to view meat as simply a food product, rather than as something that came from an animal.However, this theory may go even further back if we look at the words the English language uses to describe meat. "We 'de-animalize' certain foods that we eat by giving them different names, " Hal Herzog, author of Why It's So Hard To Think Straight About Animals, told online magazine Grist. "We don't say it's cooked pig; we say it's pork. And we don't say hamburger is made of cow; we say it's made of beef. "So it seems that there's not one simple answer to this question. When it comes to eating meat, however, perhaps we should simply just enjoy the taste.1. The main purpose of the first three paragraphs is to ________ .A. introduce various food culturesB. stress Westerners' love for foodC. show differences in Chinese and Western food culturesD. draw attention to Westerners 'de-animalizing' meat2. What changed people's attitudes toward meat in the 1960s and 1970s?________A. The words used to describe meat.B. The rise of supermarkets.C. The need for a healthier lifestyle.D. The introduction of highways.3. What does the underlined word "ignorance" mean in Paragraph 6？________A. Blindness.B. Fear.C. Misunderstanding.D. Challenging.参考答案Passage 11. B细节理解题。

高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 202

高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 202Passage 1People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I’ll share some of my experience. I once took a school year English course in Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own.One thing I can tell you is that, once you start learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about “How would I say them in English?” At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I am in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It is amazing how much this helps.For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I did not want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no choice but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you’re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement.1. How long did the author learn English in Wuhan University?A. A week.B. A Month.C. A term.D. A year.2. What is the good way to improve your English according to the author?A. Reading English books.B. Thinking in English.C. Watching English films.D. Learning English grammar.3. Where did the author improve his English quickly?A. In America.B. In China.C. In the university.D. In the middle school.4. What is the best title for the text?A. My University LifeB. American EnglishC. My English Learning ExperienceD. The Importance of Learning EnglishPassage 2John Robert was born in a farm family and his father was a horse trainer. When John was a child, he often went from one farm to another with his father. Sometimes they didn’t have enough money to pay for food, but John still loved this kind of life. He even hoped to own a horse farm when growing up.When he was in school, his teacher once asked students to write about what they wanted to be and do when they grew up. John wrote a seven-page paper talking about his dream of having a horse farm one day. He even drew a picture of a horse farm on the paper.The next day John handed it to his teacher. Two days later, he got his paper back.On the front page was a large red “F” with some words “See me after class.” And the boy did and asked his teacher, “Why did I get an F?” The teacher said, “This dream will not come true for a young boy like you. Owning a horse farm needs a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for a lot of things. There is no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you write this paper again with a simple dream, I will give you a good grade.”After school he thought about it carefully. At last, he decided to hand in the same paper, making no changes at all. He wrote, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”Many years later, John had his own 200 acres (英亩) horse farm. His dream came true.So don’t let someone take away your dream. Follow your dreams, no matter what they are.1. What happened to John when he was a child?A. H e hoped to be a teacher.B. He decided to give up college.C. He often went hungry for poverty.D. His father gave him much money.2. What made the teacher give John an F for his paper?A. His bad temper.B. His difficult dream.C. His poor family.D. His poor study.3. What did John do to the marked paper?A. Change his dream.B. Rewrite the paper.C. Make no change.D. Add some words on it.4. What does the text mainly want us to do?A. Work hard to realize our dream.B. Keep changing our dreams.C. Follow others’ advice.D. Refuse the teachers’ help.Passage 3There is an English saying: "Laughter is best medicine. " Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people's health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercises. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing. It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated(忍受) the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing,making them smile is enough to produce beneficial(有益的) effects similar to those who are caused by laughter.1. The main idea of the passage is________ .A. laughter and physical exercises have similar effects.B. smile can produce the same effects as laughterC. pain can be reduced by laughterD. laughter is best medicine2. The underlined word "diminish" is similar to ________ .A. testB. stopC. reduceD. increase3. Doctors hold laughter clinics________ .A. to give better condition to their patientsB. in order to improve patients' healthC. to make patients smile all the timeD. to prove smile and laughter have the same effectPassage 4January means it's time for coats and gloves and cold weather. While many of us are preparing ourselves for the cold weeks ahead, in some cities winter is the "hottest" season of all because it's the time for winter festivities.Every year 2 million people visit the Sapporo Snow Festival in Japan. This internationally well-known event began in 1950, when some local high-school students built six snow statues in Odori Park. Since then, the festival has grown to include lots of snow sculptures as well as a snow-sculpting contest that draws competitors from all over the world.In December, Finland created its 13th annual Snow Village, which will remain open until April, if weather permits. Snow Village lies nearly 200 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. The village is designed by builders skilled in working with snow and ice. Visitors can take a tour of the village, eat in a restaurant made of ice or go dancing in the disco igloo(拱形圆顶小屋). They can also spend the night in a hotel made of snow. There's even an ice chapel(小礼拜堂) for couples who want to get married in Snow village.Since 1935, the Fur Rendezvous has been held every February in Anchorage, Alaska, America's most northern state. Among the festival's many attractions is the World Championship Sled Dog Race, which draws sled dog teams from many countries. Dogs also take center stage in the Dog Weight Pull, in which dogs compete to see which one can pull the heaviest weight. The festival features sports like skiing, basketball, boxing and softball as well as the Grand Prix Auto Race in downtown Anchorage. True to the festival's name, there's also a fur auction(拍卖), where buyers buy real Alaskan furs. The first Fur Rendezvous lasted only three days. Now it's a 10-day event that attracts thousands of visitors.1. What can we learn about the Sapporo Snow Festival from the second paragraph?________A. How it got started.B. How long it lasts.C. Who is in charge of it.D. How much it costs to attend it.2. What happens at Snow Village? ________A. Skating matches.B. Design contests.C. Indoor weddings.D. Cooking competitions.3. Anyone who visits the Fur Rendezvous can ________ .A. buy what he wantsB. play any sports he likesC. attend a strength competitionD. come across different sled dogsPassage 5There are a couple different things that make ramen noodles an unhealthy choice. There's not much to these provision packets besides salt and carbohydrates. While those certainly get thrown around quite a bit as "bad-for-you" comments, you may not know how they actually harm your body. Firstly, there's the fact that most instant ramen servings contain over 1100 milligrams of sodium—that's approaching half of themaximum you should eat per day. When you take in that much sodium in a single sitting, your body overcompensates by holding more water. This can cause temporary water weight gain, leaving you feeling bloated(肿胀) and lacking in energy.But while you may feel bloated, chances are you won't feel full. Since the ramen contains lots of refined carbohydrates with virtually no protein or fiber, it's essentially the very definition of empty calories. And you've probably heard the song-and-dance about refined carbs; eating too much can lead your blood sugar to increase and then decrease, leaving you hungry and ready to eat again—which leads to weight gain.And, perhaps most upsetting of all, this quick-and-easy meal may stay with you much longer than you realize. Massachusetts General Hospital's Dr. Braden Kuo used a pill-sized camera to record the digestive tracts of volunteers who ate processed ramen noodles as well as fresh ones. With a video, Dr. Kuo was able to show that, after two hours when the fresh noodles were long gone, the ramen noodles were still there in the intestines.Doctors do know that years of eating the instant packets are linked to poor health. Another study, this one by the Harvard School of Public Health, assessed the long-term consequences of ramen consumption in South Korea, where it's a major course. They found that subjects, women in particular, who ate instant noodles at least twice a week had a 68 percent higher risk of diabetes and heart disease—than subjects who ate a more consistently natural diet.In short, eating ramen once in a while won't damage your health—as is true with most processed foods. But it's not something you should make a habit of—for yourstomach and heart's sake.1. What, according to paragraph 1, specifically contribute to the body harm in ramen? ________A. saltB. carbohydratesC. sodiumD. water2. Which of the following is NOT the harm of ramen to people? ________A. resulting in short-term water weight gainB. much longer digesting process in intestinesC. higher risk of diabetes and heart diseaseD. much addition to salt and carbohydrates3. What does the writer intend to do when writing this passage? ________A. To remind people of the harm done to our health.B. To analyze where the harm of ramen lies in detail.C. To warn people never to form a ramen-eating habit.D. To urge people to think twice before eating ramen.参考答案Passage 11. D细节理解题。

高中英语阅读强化训练(二)Ⅰ阅读理解Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times.Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for Science，one of the highest honors in the world.Some women scientists never married，some worked with their husbands，and others raised large families.It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists.In the early 1800s in England，Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth.Mary and her father collected fossils(化石) in their village on the south coast of Great Britain.Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years.When she was only twelve years old，Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons(骨架) of several animals that no longer existed on the earth.She didn’t become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family.In 1891，a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics.She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland.She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie.Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together.They received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 along with another scientist.Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Nobel Prize in 1911，this time for Chemistry.Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time who became famous as a scientist.【解题导语】自古代以来女性就在科学领域做出了巨大发现，并获得了诺贝尔奖，让我们了解其中的一部分吧。
