2013高考英语(浙江)阅读理解系列(3)(解析)
2013高考英语（浙江）阅读理解系列（3）（解析）(A)BEIJING—A chemical that ripens fruits and vegetables doesno harm to human health, experts said following recent reportsabout a ripener used in several provinces.“There is no problem with using ethephon to ripen fruits. Thisplant growth regulator is completely the same as hormones producedby plants themselves when they get ripe, ”Luo Yunbo, dean of the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering under China Agricultural University and an expert of plant physiology, told China Daily on Monday.“The chemical is safe enough that there is even no need for detection, for it has been used worldwide for decades. ” Luo said.The national standard for the amount of residue of the chemical is two milligrams in every kilogram of fruit, and experts said the actual dosage is far below that level, as overuse benefits neither farmers nor their fruit.“Overdose may make fruit ripen too rapidly and even rot, and will scorch the skin of fruit, which will harm sales for vendors, ”Luo said.China learned the use of the hormone from the United States and Japan, which is a pioneer in research and use of plant growth accelerators and regulators. Ethephon, an organic compound, is an agricultural plant growth stimulant that is sprayed on 70 or 80 percent ripe fruit after they have been picked. It gives off ethylene to facilitate ripening.Some fruit, such as bananas, will rot instead of ripen without such a ripener, according to experts.“The traditional way to ripen bananas is to put them together with mature apples, which can release ethephon to help bananas ripen, or ripen them by fuming with joss sticks. But these two ways may give bananas uneven color when they turn yellow, and the fruit will never have achieved mass production, ” Luo said.People interviewed by China Daily said it is easy to stir panic about additivesor growth accelerators, as food safety is a major concern.21. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Experts said the fruit ripener causes no danger.B. How to use the fruit ripener.C. The harm of the fruit ripener.D. Customers are worried about the fruit ripener.22. The underlined word“dosage” in Paragraph 4 probably means _______.A. the way to use somethingB. the amount to use somethingC. the advantage of using somethingD. the disadvantage of using something23. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Ethephon is produced by plants themselves when they get ripe.B. Overdose will help plants ripen better.C. Ethephon is sprayed on 70 or 80 percent ripe fruit before they have been picked.D. China learned the use of the hormone from the United States and Japan.24. What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To tell us the latest development in agriculture.B. To tell us the experts’ attitude to the use of the fruit ripener.C. To share his knowledge about how to use the fruit ripener.D. To warn us the harm of the fruit ripener.25. What will probably be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. People’s panic about additives or growth accelerators.B. The future of the fruit ripener.C. The measures to be taken about the fruit ripener.D. The new standard about using the fruit ripener.(B)I had once helped a friend of mine run a watermelon stall. I noticed something interesting. Almost every buyer would lift the melon up to their ear, smartly tap it， apparently trying to listen to something. I wondered what they expected to hear.Finally I could no longer hold back my curiosity and made bold to ask a customer—an elderly gentleman—about this. Hearing my question，he roared with laughter. Then he replied in a self-mocking(自嘲)tone，“Young lady, I have been doing this for more than fifty years. All I know is that everybody would stare at you as if you were a fool if you just pick up the melon and leave! ”Not long after that，my watermelon stall friend unexpectedly sent me an invitation for her wedding, which really surprised me. I asked her, “How come you are seized by a sudden desire to get married? I don’t remember ever hearing you mention that you’ve got a boyfriend.”She answered while counting money, “Everyone has to get married anyway, so it is better to get married sooner than later. ”I could think of no word to refute(反驳)her. It seems that everybody is living for everybody else and has forgotten the need of their own heart. It may be safe and save a lot of worries by following others’ suit in doing things. The use of We or Us will give one a steady and sure sense of pride. But using the pronoun “I” would often give one a guilty conscience.I find all these things somewhat funny. We have got used to taking cue from(模仿)others and follow their suit. In turn，we also take it for granted that we should judge the right and wrong of others by our own standard. As a matter of fact，this massive practice is still wrong though we all follow others’ suit like this，but we feel at ease and, justified simply because this is the way of Us，and so we can have an easy conscience because this has been practiced by so many people.26. The writer probably feels that it is________ .A. necessary for the buyer to tap the watermelonB. foolish of the buyers to buy watermelon without tapping itC. funny that the buyers will tap the watermelons when buying themD. wise of the elderly gentleman to tap watermelons before buying them27. The writer uses the example of her friend’s decision of getting married to show that________ .A. her friend took no account of others’ feelingB. her friend decided to marry just to follow the crowdC. her friend was a person who has strong personalityD. everybody in the world should marry for others28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. It may be safe to follow others’ suit in doing things.B. I was surprised to receive my friend’s invitation for her wedding.C. My experience of helping my friend run a watermelon stall was interesting.D. The use of We or I will give speakers themselves quite different senses.29. Which word can replace the underlined word “justified” in the last paragraph?A. Reasonable.B. Embarrassed.C. Ashamed.D. Nervous.30. In which section of a magazine can you read the passage?A. Art and LifeB. Sport and HealthC. Culture and SocietyD. Science and Technology答案解析21.【解析】选A。

2013高考英语(二月)阅读理解精选(1)及答案
2013高考英语(二月)阅读理解精选（1）及答案维A1 阅读理解（每题2分，满分8分）选材相似度：★★★★设题相似度：★★★难度系数：★★★★The modern British Empire first took shape in the early 17th century，with the British settlement of the eastern colonies of North America,which would later become the original United States，as well as Canada’s Maritime provinces，and the colonizations of the smaller islands of the Caribbean such as Trinidad and Tobago,the Bahamas，Barbados，and Jamaica.These sugar plantation islands,where slavery became the basis of the economy，were at first Britain's most important and successful colonies。
The American colonies providing tobacco，cotton，and rice in the south and naval material and furs in the north were less financially successful，but had large areas of good agricultural land and attracted far larger numbers of British immigrants。
英语学习资料：2013年高考英语阅读理解练习及答案（8）
英语学习资料：2013年高考英语阅读理解练习及答案（8）In modern society there is a great deal of argument about petition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity, others say that petition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self – worth relied (依赖) on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life – and – death affairs. In their single – minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame petition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under petitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to se ek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true petitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self – respect relies on how well one performs in parison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fearbegins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in petition.1.What does this passage mainly talk about?petition helps to set up self – respect.B.Opinions about petition are different among people.petition is harmful to personal quality development.D.Failures are necessary experiences in petition2.Why do some people favor petition according to the passage?A.It pushes society forward.B.It builds up a sense of duty.C.It improves personal abilities.D.It encourages individual efforts.3.The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means .A.those who try their best to winB.those who value petition most highlyC.those who are against petition most stronglyD.those who rely on others most for success4.What is the similar belief of the true petitors and those witha desire to fail ?A.One’s worth lies in his performance pared with others.B.One’s success in petition needs great efforts.C.One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.D.One’s success is based on how hard he ha s tried.5.Which point of view may the author agree to?A.Every effort should be paid back.petition should be encouraged.C.Winning should be a life – and – death matter.D.Fear of failure should be removed in petition.答案：1.B 2.A 3.C 4.A 5.D。
2013年高考英语试题分类汇编_科普类阅读理解_Word版含解析
2013年高考英语试题分类汇编之科普类阅读理解【重庆卷】 CAlmost every machine with moving parts has wheels, yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for. We do know, however, that they existed over 5,500 years ago in ancient Asia.The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5,100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn't become popular for a while, though. This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.But it could also be because of a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modem road design.In the mid-1700s, a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer (层) of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same lime, metal hubs (the central part of a wheel) came into being, followed by the pneumatic tyre(充气轮胎) in 1846. Alloy wheels were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads (柏油路). As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster.64. What might explain why transport wheels didn't become popular for some time?A. Few knew how to use transport wheels.B. Humans carried farming tools just as well.C. Animals were a good means of transport.D. The existence of transport wheels was not known.65. What do we know about road design from the passage?A. It was easier than wheel design.B. It improved after big changes in vehicle design.C. It was promoted by fast-moving vehicles.D. It provided conditions for wheel design to develop.66. How is the last paragraph mainly developed?A. By giving examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By following time order.D. By making classifications.67. What is the passage mainly about?A. The beginning of road design.B. The development of transport wheels.C. The history of public transport.D. His invention of fast-moving vehicles.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，题材是车轮。

2013高考英语山东卷阅读理解答案及解析
2013高考英语XX卷阅读理解答案与解析A参考译文：Jimmy是一名汽车修理工，但是几个月前他丢了工作。
虽然他是一个非常热心的人，可他总是害怕去找一份新的工作。
有一天，他终于鼓足勇气决定去参加一个工作面试。
他的面试时间是上午10点，那时候已经到了8：30。
当他本该等着去面试地点的公交车的时候，他看见一个老人很粗暴地踢着自己的汽车轮子。
很明显，他的车坏了。
Jimmy 立刻过去帮了那个老人的忙。
当Jimmy修完汽车的时候，那个老人说：“请允许我开车送你去参加面试，这是我仅能为你做到的了，我坚持这样做。
〞Jimmy接受了他的好意。
到达面试的地方，Jimmy发现有很多求职者在等待面试。
他身上还有一些修完汽车之后残留的油渍，可他却没有时间洗干净或者换一件衬衫。
一个接着一个，那些求职者带着失望的表情离开了面试官的办公室。
最后，面试官叫了他的名字。
当时，面试官正面朝办公室的窗户坐在一个大椅子上。
他边摇晃着椅子边问道：“你真的需要应聘这份工作吗？〞Jimmy的心沉了下去，心里想着：“看我现在的样子，我怎么可能通过面试呢？〞然后面试官转过了椅子，另Jimmy吃惊的是，他就是早上他曾帮助过的那个老人。
原来那个老人就是这家公司的总经理。
“很抱歉让您一直等着，在您还没踏入这间办公室之前，我就决定让你成为我的员工，我非常确信我做出的决定是正确的。
我只是相信你会成为一名可信赖的员工。
恭喜你！〞为他获得的这份新工作，Jimmy坐了下来与老人一起喝了一杯值得享用的咖啡。
