（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。

The best time to visit the park is early in the morning or after 4 p. m. to spot the animals. The park is closed from July 1 to September 30 because of the monsoon season (季风季节).Bandhavgarh ZonesBandhavgarh is divided into three main zones: Tala (the park’s best zone, with the most tigers), Magdhi (the second best zone to see tigers) and Khitauli (scenic and less visited, although tiger sightings d o occur there; particularly good for birding).Entry Fees and Charges for Jeep SafarisBandhavgarh has become expensive to visit in recent years.

The question of whether our government shoul d promote science and technol ogy or the liberal arts in higher education is not an either/ or proposition(命题)，although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM (science, technol ogy, engineering, maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.The latest congressional report acknowl edges the critical importance of technical training, but also stresses that the study of the humanities and social sciences must remain central elements of American’s educational system at all levels. Both are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society, become innovative lead ers, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the refl ection on the great id eas of mankind over time provides.Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates’ job prospects(前景) as technol ogical advances and changes in d omestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs. Und er this circumstances, it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the probl em. “Major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some, though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often, in fact, lead to empl oyment and success in the l ong run. Indeed, according to surveys, empl oyers have expressed a preference for stud ents who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively, and communicate easily.Moreover, students shoul d be prepared not just for their first job, but for their fourth and fifth jobs, as there is littl e reason to d oubt that people entering the workforce today will be call ed upon to play many different rol es over the course of their careers.

This can help stud ents and parents to find different places in the school.One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport. Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs all ow students from different grad es. By joining an activity, stud ents can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications (申请).

This innovative method uses strange and amusing stories to teach new vocabulary, increase fluency, and get students involved by giving them the opportunity to alter the details themselves. Because of the silliness, creativity, and repetition involved, TPRS all ows students to learn easily and remember information effortlesslyMemorizing vocabulary and listening to lectures on grammar are sl ow, inefficient ways to learn a new language. The best way to truly learn and commit new material to memory is through conversation. In our Spanish classes, students can expect to speak up to 80% of each class. By speaking in the new language freely and consistently, stud ents can see progress faster because they are using the new grammar and vocabulary that they have l earned at the same time. This helps the brain remember the new words and grammar structures for future use, making it much easier to progress.24．What d oes the program do?A．It offers weekly Spanish classesB．It focuses more on outd oor activitiesC．It gives teachers a chance to receive trainingD．It provides activities about the Spanish culture25．What is the best way to learn a language according to the text?A．Memorizing a larger vocabularyB．Speaking more in the new language.C．Mastering more grammar structuresD．Writing stories to share with others26．What is the purpose of the text?A．To empl oy experienced Spanish teacherB．To hire foreign volunteers for a programC．To attract teen foreigners to a programD．To introduce language l earning methodsIf a trip to Rome or Paris is in your future, be prepared: The European Union Parliament is calling for an end to visa-free travel Americans. EU lawmakers passed a resolution urging the EU Commission to impose (推行) visas on US citizens traveling into the 28-nation bl oc.The dispute (争论) centers on reciprocal treatment of travelers from EU nations and the United States. While Americans have been able to travel throughout EU member nations without a visa, the US still requires citizens of five EU countries—Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Poland and Romania—to apply for entry visas when visiting the US, Reuters reports. Citizens of the other 23 EU member nations can use the US visa waiver program to enter America. The EU lawmakers are calling for mutual treatment for all EU citizens, says Reuters. They've given the EU Commission two months to respond.The trans-Atlantic visa dispute first came to light in April 2014, according to an EU Parliament news rel ease. At that time, five countries—Australia, Brunei, Canada, Japan and the US—required visas for some EU citizens. Since then, Australia, Brunei and Japan have lifted their visa requirements for all EU citizens. Canada, which currently imposes visa requirements on Bulgarian and Romanian citizens, plans to foll ow suit in next December, leaving just the United States at odds with the issue of reciprocity of visa-free travel with the EU.The EU says if a visa requirement for Americans is introduced, it would be temporary, according to a story in Money, which did not give a time frame.27．Which of the foll owing can replace the und erlined word “reciprocal” in Paragraph 2? A．Cruel. B．Equal.C．Unfair. D．Different.28．Which countries have removed visa requirements for all EU citizens according to the text? A．Australia, Brunei and Japan.B．Australia, Brunei, Canada and Japan.C．Brunei, Canada, Japan and America.D．Australia, Brunei, Canada, Japan and America.29．What may be the best title for the text?A．Americans may soon need a visa for traveling to EuropeB．Americans are limiting the EU citizens to enter AmericaC．The EU citizens can go to America for traveling without visasD．The EU government asks for visa requirement from AmericansIn 2016, China released guidelines forbid ding weird(古怪的) construction, shifting their focus to the “economic, green and beautiful”. Now a new plan certainly fits the bill—Liuzhou Forest City, designed by the Italian firm Stefano Boeri Architetti, will be under construction in southern China.The 175-hectare, self-contained neighborhood will contain more than 70 buildings—including homes, hospitals, hotels, schools and offices—all of which will be covered with 40, 000 trees and almost a million plants.This is the first experiment of the urban environment that's really trying to find a balance with nature.The id ea behind the project is to combine as many plants with the architecture as possible. The plants are expected to absorb almost 10, 000 tons of carbon dioxid e and 57 tons of pollutants per year, and produce 900 tons of oxygen a year, while also decreasing the air temperature and providing a new habitat for displaced wildlife. Solar panels(控制板) on the roofs will collect renewable energy to power the buildings.The project comes on the heels of Stefano Boeri Architetti's Vertical Forest, tworesid ential towers in Milan covered in the equivalent(等同物) of five acres of forest.“We started to imagine if it was possibl e to create an urba n environment by planting many trees in the city, ”Boeri said. China, in his eyes, provided the perfect background for such an ambitious project.But the project's completion is a long way off.Construction is set to begin in 2020.Boeri said there is still a lot of planning and research required before a projected compl etion date can be set. He remains, however, optimistic about the project, and confident about its aim. “I really think that bringing forests into the city is a way to reduce climate change, ”h e said. 30．What can be concluded from the first two paragraphs?A．A ban will be stopped quickly.B．An Italian company will pay for the new plan.C．A new neighborhood will satisfy the guidelines.D．All strange buildings in China have been torn d own.31．What benefit will this project bring about?A．Purifying the air around.

D．Equals. 33．What is the text mainly about?A．A future forest city. B．Liuzhou's devel opment.C．China's city-building policy.

Und er the ban students are not abl e to use their phones at all during school hours, including meal breaks.“I think it’s a good thing. School is not about being on your phone,” Paris mumMarie-Caro line Madel eine tol d AFP. “It’s hard with kids. You can’t control what they see and that’s one of the things that worry me as a parent.”There is no law like this in Australia, but some Australian schools have banned phones.McKinnon Secondary School in Victoria introduced a total ban in February and Principal Pitsa Binnion said this has been a success.McKinnon students still have a Chromebook to use in every class for day-to-day l earning but they’re not all owed to use social media. Ms Binnion said at first“teachers cheered and students moaned (抱怨) ,” but now they’re seeing the advantages. “They come to school and they’re not all owed to use phones at all during the school day, including lunch breaks,” she said.“It’s been wond erful in terms of students comm unicating with each other at lunchtime and not looking at their screen,” she said.Ms Binnion also leads by exampl e and doesn’t use her mobile phone in school. “I think anyone can do it if we’ve done it.”Not everyone agrees with the bans. Western Sydney University technology researcher Dr Joanne Orland o wrote in online magazine The Conversation earlier this year that Australia should not ban phones in schools because it’s important to educate kids to live in the age they are raised in.“A good education fo r students today is knowing how to use technol ogy to learn, communicate and work with ideas,” she wrote. “Banning students from using smartphones is a 1950s response to a 2018 state-of-play.”34．Why did Madeleine welcome the ban?A．School is for studying. B．Kids behave badly nowadays. C．Teachers find it hard to control kids. D．Her kids depend too much on phones. 35．What can we learn about the ban in McKinnon Secondary School?A．Some teachers were against it at first.B．Students can now see the good of the ban.C．Students can use their phones at lunch beaks.D．Teachers have stopped using phones at school as well.36．What d oes the underlined word “Chromebook” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?A．A book. B．A notebook.C．A learning website. D．A kind of computer.37．What d oes Dr Joanne Orlando think of banning phones in schools?A．It will disconnect parents and kids. B．It will cause kids to communicate less. C．It will prevent kids being tech-minded. D．It will make education go back 60 years.On the day the tornad o(龙卷风) hit, there was no sign fierce weather was on its way— the sky was blue and the sun had been out. The first warning my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p.m., from some text on the TV Jimmy was watching.

Jimmy pushed me d own to the storeroom floor, but he couldn’t g et inside himself because of the wind. I held Jimmy’s arm as the tornad o blew the d oor open. My knees were full of glass, but I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have fl own right out the back of the house.All of a sud den, Jimmy lifted off his feet. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was over. Our neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes.

Arriving at the famous “President’s Jetty (码头)” by boat into the capital of Male, Xi was greeted to a warm Maldivian welcome in the “Independence Square”, where local people played tr aditional drums and danced with swords.“I was standing right there last month!” I thought as I watched the scenes on CCTV. Now that I’m working here in Beijing, it seems that the President and I have swapped places without telling each other.The Maldives is a popular destination for many Chinese travelers. When I first arrived at the airport, I heard official announcements in Chinese and wondered if I had already arrived in China.But with crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches, and many expensive resorts，it is easy to see why people choose to travel there. President Xi described the Maldives as “a string of pearls that God left in the human world.”But it is not only in the expensive resorts and peaceful beaches that the true Maldives lies. The capital of Male is one of the most densely populated places on Earth，and visitors can also enjoy the hustle and bustle (熙熙攘攘) of daily life. Here, high-rise buildings are packed close together and freshly caught tuna fish are displayed proudly at the local market. There are many foods to be explored in the capital. “Mashuni”，a popular breakfast dish, is made from tuna, chillies (辣椒)，coconut, and onion, and is served with sweet tea and a flatbreadcalled “Roshi”.The beauty of the Maldives goes far and wide, from the heart of the capital to its underwater wonders.

The software companies, which create and sell computer games, pay fortunes to people like you who could help them improve their products. Have you ever seriously thought that this time-consuming and unproductive hobby could be the one that will make money for you?There was a time when one could easily distinguish between the hobbies for women and men, but not any more.

Such an answer distracts the attention of the employer and will not make the impression you want. Further, you may lose the chance for keeping the interest in you.* Try to balance in listing individual hobbies as well as being part of group activities.Most importantly, be honest and back up whatever you say about your hobbies. You may even tell an interesting story—being straightforward is always better.6. What does the underlined word "this" refer to in the first paragraph?A.

It may be an acute, desperate sense of wanting something, anything to think about, or it may be a continuing feeling of ennui((法)厌倦) that goes throughout your day-to-day, forcing you to subconsciously(潜意识地) fill up the empty spaces in your time with unfulfilled donkeywork. If either situation rings true, you need a hobby.Most people don't even realize that they don't have a hobby—they know they have interests, but because those interests don't necessarily contribute to income or security, they get mentally pushed to the back burner as a "someday" self-promise. Interests may fascinate you, but a hobby means you're doing something about it—it gives you something to think about, something to talk about, and something to look forward to. Some hobbies may even generate some income.Choosing a hobby is simple—just think of something you love or have always wanted to know more about, and go from there. Of course, you may have too many potential interests allbottled up waiting for the "some day", so how do you decide? There's a Jewish proverb that says "When a habit begins to cost money, it's called a hobby." If that doesn't narrow it down enough, consider how the different types of hobbies fit into your lifestyle and interest.Take "making" as an example. The "making" hobbies are the opposite of "collecting" hobbies. Sure, you'll need to accumulate a certain amount of tools and materials, but the main focus on the hobby is the output instead of the input. Crafters have these hobbies in the bag—scrapbooking, knitting, painting and needlepoint are all very typical and easy to learn, but "making" hobbies also include things like baking, poetry, photography and blogging. The common thread being that when you have finished practicing your hobby for the day, you are left with something that wasn't there before—it came to life right in your hands. Your friends would prefer if you chose baking instead of poetry.11. When all the following situations appear EXCEPT , you need a hobby.A. that you have a strong desire of wanting somethingB. that you are feeling very tired all day long with meaningless workC. that you think you have too much work to deal withD. that you have a wish to kill your spare time12. What is the difference between hobbies and interests?A. Hobbies may sometimes bring in income while interests may not.B. Interests may get in secure income while hobbies may not.C. Most people have hobbies or interests that can benefit themselves.D. Interests may attract your attention while hobbies may not.13. What can you do to choose your hobby?A. Change your habit into your hobby earlier.B. Keep your potential interests for the "some day".C. Decide what you have always wished most.D. Consider the different types of hobbies first.14. What do you need to develop your "making" hobbies?A. Practice skills and abilities for your hobby.B. Enough tools and materials to make an input.C. Things like baking, poetry, photography and blogging.D. A certain number of tools and materials to make an output.DWhy do people buy art? To answer this question, ask yourself what your reasons are for thinking of getting a piece of art. An artwork can cost a large amount of money, but if it meets your needs, it's worth every penny.People buy art for many reasons. Many people buy an artwork simply because they like it, even if it is by an unknown artist. Art, as long as you enjoy it, is never a waste of money.Art is for enjoyment. Art is meant to be shown. Don't ever feel pressured into buying something you won't enjoy looking at day after day, no matter what other people may say. Don't buy something that doesn't attract you just because it is trendy, or because the artist is famous, or because you have been advised that the artwork will make a good investment. If you don't like the artwork at all, don't buy it!Art improves your environment. Have you ever noticed that all beautiful homes have art as an integral(必需的) part of the decoration? Art lends life and color to otherwise plain and ordinary walls. A well thought-out art collection will help create a unique atmosphere in your home and make it more attractive.Art makes a statement. The kind of art you surround yourself with says much about your personality, tastes and values. Art truly is a mirror of the soul.Art enriches your life. Love—even the love of a work of art—contributes to healthier living and a longer lifespan(寿命). Art should enrich your life. Otherwise, why do you spend precious time and resources on it?Just remember to select something which will appeal to your tastes, and keep to a sensible budget. Good art needn't cost an arm and a leg.Happy art collecting!15. What's the purpose of the passage?A. To advise us to buy an expensive artwork.B. To remind us to be sensible when buying an artwork.C. To teach us how to choose works of art.D. To explain the benefit of art to people.16. According to the author, what should you consider when buying a piece of art?A. Whether it brings pleasure to you.B. Whether it is fashionable at present.C. Whether you can profit from it in the end.D. Whether it is created by a famous artist.17. Which of the following words best describes a work of art placed in a house?A. Ordinary.B. Attractive.C. Necessary.D. Unique.18. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 means that .A. art can show what you look likeB. art is an expression of yourselfC. a mirror has a feature similar to artD. a mirror can be a piece of true art⼆、阅读理解（共4⼩题；共8.0分）It's certainly not unusual for little girls to enjoy playing dress-up, but a third-grader in Omaha, Neb., is taking the hobby to a whole new level.Stella Ehrhart may be only 8 years old, but she sure knows her history. Every day she goes to class at Dundee Elementary School dressed as someone, usually a woman, of historical significance(意义)."On the second day of the second grade, she decided that the next day she was going to dress as someone different. It's been so much fun to see where she's going with it. She isn't doing it to take the focus away from anyone. She is just doing it to be creative." Kevin Ehrhart, her father, told ABCNews."I'm just so proud of how creative she is. I work at the Children's Theater here in Omaha, so out of necessity I've taken her into my acting classes. She's been in acting classes with me since a young age," Kevin Ehrhart said. "It's just fun to see her develop creativity. As a father, it's just fun to share that with her."Kevin Ehrhart is an actor, director and teacher at a local theater, where Stella has appeared with him on stage. She actually has a big debut(⾸次演出) tonight, playing the role of Rhoda Penmark from "The Bad Seed" together with a close family friend, Laura Marr, the artistic director of the Circle Theater.Laura Marr also had a hand in inspiring Stella to dress up as these historical figures. She gave her the book "100 Most Important Women of the 20th Century" and now Stella uses it to carefully research which woman she wants to portray(扮演) the next day."I don't know if we're that different, but I have always tried to follow up on what the children seem to be interested in. If it comes from their own initiative(主动性), they're going to put a lot more energy into it," Kevin Ehrhart said. "Just listen and pay respect to those ideas the children have. It's amazing to see how the smallest idea just grows into a more solid and complete experience."19.

20XX年高中测试高中试题试卷科目：年级：考点：监考老师：日期：说明文类(I) ★Water goes around and around Earth in a never ending journey called the water cycle（循环）. The sun heats up lakes, oceans, and other wet places on Earth. When the water gets warm enough, it changes into vapour. Plants also give off lots of water vapour. Some of this water vapour cools off high in the sky and becomes clouds. Then it falls back to Earth in a new place as rain or snow. This cycle happens over and over again.The ground can absorb water like a sponge (海绵). If you could see this groundwater, it wouldn’t look like a lake or river. The groundwater is mixed in with the rocks and sand that lie in layers(层) below Earth’s surface.Groundwater moves along slowly. How slowly? Maybe 1.5 kilometres in one century. Some of this water has been underground for thousands of years. And once groundwater is pumped out of the ground from a deep well（井）by people, it may take hundreds of years for another water to take its place.35.In which order does water go around Earth?a .Fall down as rain or snow.b. Heated up by the sun on lakes, oceans and other wet places.c. Cool off high in the sky.d. Form clouds.e. Change into vapour.A. dacbeB. becdaC. caebdD. bceda36. The groundwater seems to________.A. be just on the groundB. be pure water like that in a lake or riverC. exist in rocks and sandD. flow along like rivers or streams37. The underlined word “pumped” in the passage can be replaced by________.A. runB. pushedC. drawnD. picked38. What conclusion（结论）can we draw from the passage?A. Groundwater can be quickly replaced by other water once pumped out.B. Groundwater is very valuable.C. Groundwater has nothing to do with human beings.D. Groundwater travel in an unknown way.1-4 BCCB(II) ★★★Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives．For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite．Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving．Satellites arealso used to connect our international phone calls．Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to US through satellites．Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location．We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another．They are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equator．Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place．This is because it is moving around the world at 11，000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates．A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae(天线)facing the earth．Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit，So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position．This usually happens about every five or six days．Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth．A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years．Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired．Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time．This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other．1．Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?A．Sending information for weather forecast．B．Taking photographs of the Earth．C．Sending TV pictures．D．Providing food for airplane pilots．2．What’s the speed the earth rotates at?A．35,880 kilometers per hour．B．335,880 kilometers per hour．C．11,000 kilometers per hour．D．110,000 kilometers per hour 3．Why does the satellite move around the world at the same speed as the Earth rotates?A．In order to take photographs．B．In order to stay in a certain position in the orbit．C．In order to move away from its orbit．D．In order to send television pictures．4．What does the underlined word “This” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?A．A satellite．B．A little rocket．C．A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky．D．The satellite puts the rockets in the right position．5．Which is true of satellites?A．A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years．B．Every time a satellite gets broken，it is brought back to the Earth to be repaired．C．A broken satellite is never left in space．D．They often crash into each other．1-5 DCBCA(III) ★★★Cancer researchers urged people on Wednesday to take more vitamin D to lower risk of cancer, saying studies showed a clear link. “Our suggestion is for people to increase their intake (吸入，摄入), through diet or a vitamin supplement,” Dr. Cedric Garland said in a telephone interview.Garland's research team reviewed 63 studies, including several large long-term ones, on the relationship between vitamin D and certain types of cancer worldwide between 1966 and 20XX. “There's nothing that has this ability to prevent cancer,” he said, urging governments and public health officials to do more to fortify (增强) foods with vitamin D. Garland is part of a University of California at San DiegoMooresCancerCenter team that published its findings this week online in the American Journal of Public Health. Vitamin D is found in milk, as well as in some fortified orange juice, yogurt and cheeses, usually at around 100 international units （IU）a serving. “People might want to consider a vitamin supplement to raise their intake to 1000 IUs per day” Garland said, adding that it was well within the safety guidelines established by the National Academy of Sciences.The authors said that taking more vitamin D could be especially important for people living in northern areas, which receive less vitamin D from sunshine.“African Americans, who don't produce as much of the vitamin because of their skin colour, could also benefit significantly from a high er intake,” the authors said.1．According to the passage, people are advised to take more Vitamin D, because__.A. it is nutritiousB. it can‘t harm people’s healthC. it can lower cancer riskD. it is not taken enough every day2．Which of the following can not help people get more Vitamin D?A. Have some sunshineB. Have more meatC. Have more fortified cheeseD. Have a vitamin supplement3．Who can Garland probably be?A. A health researcherB. A doctorC. A scientistD. A public health official4．Which of the following food can lower people‘s chance of getting cancer?A. MilkB. Fortified orange juiceC. Fortified yogurtD. All of the above5．People from which area should take more Vitamin D according to the passage?A. Asian peopleB. African peopleC. American peopleD. European people1—5 CBADB(IV) ★★★Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from early nineteen hundreds. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and he does not.1. A greenhorn now refers to ____.A. a person who is new in a jobB. a new soliderC. a young horseD. a cow without horns2. A person who has a green thumb is a person ____.A. who is good at growing plantsB. whose thumbs are of green colorC. whose garden is greener than others’D. who is younger than his neighbors3. The author is actually talking about ____.A. colorsB. languageC. politicsD. agriculture4. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. In about the 16th century, a greenhorn meant an experienced soldier.B. The Green Revolution may have some connection with green thumbs.C. The green-eyed monster was probably created by William Shakespeare.D. The green-eyed monster can be used to describe a person who is jealous.1-4 AABA(V) ★★★People with disabilities make up a large part of the population. It is estimated that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. Abouthalf of these disabilities are “developmental", i.e., they occur before the individual's twenty-second birthday, often from genetic conditions, and are severe enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as mobility, communication, employment, etc. Most other disabilities are considered “adventitious", i.e., accidental or caused by outside forces.Prior to the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unfortunately, these basics are often not available. Civil liberties such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and gain employment have historically been denied on the basis of disability.In recent decades, the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these infringements（违反；侵犯）of civil rights. Congress responded by passing major legislation recognizing people with disabilities as a protected class under civil rights statutes.Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently. It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed, and a majority of those who do work are underemployed. About two-thirds live at or below the official poverty level.Significant barriers, especially in transportation and public awareness, prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer prohibited by law from marrying, a person with no access to transportation is effectively excluded from community and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.Only when public attitudes advance as far as laws have will disabled people be fully able to take their rightful place in society.1. A “developmental" disability ______.A. develops very slowly over timeB. is caused by forcesC. occurs in youth and affects developmentD. is getting more and more severe2．Most disabled people used to die early because ______.A. disabilities destroyed major bodily functionsB. they were not very well looked afterC. medical techniques were not availableD. they were too poor to get proper treatment3. In the author's opinion, to enable the disabled people to take their rightfulplace insociety, ______.A．more laws should be passedB．public attitudes should be changedC．government should provide more aidsD．more public facilities should be set up4. Which of the following cannot be inferred（推断）from the passage ?A．Many disabled people may remain single for their whole life.B．The public tends to look down upon the disabled people.C．The disabled people feel inferior to those surrounding them.D． Discriminatory laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others.5. The best title for this passage might be ______.A．Handicaps（不利条件；障碍；）of People with DisabilitiesB．The physical difficulties of the DisabledC．The Causes for DisabilitiesD．Medical Treatments for Disabilities1-5 CCBDA。

记叙文类作者：巩穹（I）★★Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.In 1849, after graduation from medical school. she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital , she also set up the first medical school for women.1.

New York City1-5 CAABC（II）★★★Europe is now the biggest market for organic food in the world, having grown by 25 percent a year over the past 10 years. Denmark’s agriculture minister is herself an organic farmer. The UK market for organic food grew by 55 percent in 2000, while the food market as a wholegrew by only one percent. Yet only seven percent of British shoppers account for nearly 60 percent of organic sales. However popular the idea of organic farming may be, it is still an interest for only a few people.So what makes the idea of organic farming popular? Organic farming means farming with natural materials, rather than with man-made fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farmers rely on many methods — such as crop rotation (农作物的轮作) and the use of resistant（有抵抗力的）varieties, because they are necessary for organic farmers to compensate for the shortage of man-made chemicals.Organic farming is often supposed to be safer than traditional farming for the environment. Yet after a long research on organic farming worldwide for a number of years, science continues to be against this opinion. The House of Commons committee on agriculture publicized that, even with complete research work, it would fail to find any scientific evidence to prove “that any of claims （宣称）made for organic farming is always true”.However, the talk about the benefits of organic farming is going on. This is partly because many people depend on their individual farm, the soil, the weather, and so on.1. The first paragraph mainly tells us _____.A. organic farming has been performed only in Europe over the past 10 yearsB. governments of European countries have cared less about organic farmingC. organic farming is far from being as popular as expectedD. European countries need organic food more than the other countries in the world2. The underlined words “compensate for” in the second paragraph probably mean “________”.A. argue forB. care forC. struggle forD. pay for3. What can we know about organic farming?A. It refers to farming with natural materials, instead of chemical fertilizers.B. It refers to farming with chemical fertilizers rather than natural fertilizers.C. It refers to farming with soil rather than any other thing.D. It refers to growing crops with man-made fertilizers and pesticides.4. According to the third paragraph, _____.A. organic farming is safer than traditional farming for the environmentB. the idea that organic farming is safer has not been proven by scienceC. organic farming is accepted by the UK’s House of Commons committeeD. organic farming is preferred to traditional farming5. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?A. The UK’s agriculture minister is an organic farmer.B. Organic farming is popular with young people.C. Farmers make use of many different kinds of methods to improve the organic sales system.D. Ninety-three percent of British shoppers don’t buy organic products.1－5 CDABD（III）★3.Aged over 25.Apply to(申请)：Capes Taxis, 17 Palace Road, BostonAir Hostesses(空姐)for International Flight Wanted1.Applicants(申请者) must be between 20 and 33 years old.2.Height 1.6m to 1.75m.cation to GCSE standard.4.Two languages.

It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me.After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get out of my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25. The waiter at the front desk made a comment(评论) about my “being there really early”. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn’t enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself.

In order to find Asia they had to find a way past South America. The man who finally found the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific was Ferdinand Magellan (麦哲伦). Magellan sailed from Seville in August, 1519 with five ships and about 280 men. Fourteen months later, after spending the cold winter on the coast of Patagonia, he discovered the channel which is now called Magellan Strait (海峡). In November, 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America. They then continued, hoping to reach Asia. But they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of Asia. Before they arrived at these islands, later known as the Philippines (菲律宾), men were dying of starvation (饥饿). While they were staying in the Philippines, Magellan was killed in battle. The remaining officers then had to get back to Spain. They decided to sail round Africa. After many difficulties, one ship with eighteen men sailed into Seville three years after leaving. They were all that remained of Magellan’s expedition. However, their achievement was great. They were the first men to sail round the world.1.
