She is offering $10,000 to any of her friends who can introduce her to her Mr. Right. She wants to find her future husband through this way.The unnamed husband seeker who sent out the email had just finished reading the best-selling book named Lean In. It was 11 p.m. on a Sunday night and she realized this was the second self-help book she had read in the month. She was still single. Things were not looking fine, but there was hope for her still. If the book had taught her anything, it was that she needed to take a more positive role in finding love. After all, if she wanted to get a better job, she wouldn't just sit outside an employer's building and wait for someone to offer it to her, so why should finding a husband be any different? But instead of going out and meeting new people she decided to write an email to all her friends, offering to give them $10,000 on her wedding day if any of them managed to introduce her to her future husband.“I am writing you today because I've decided to make an aggressive action plan on finding the man that I get to hang out with forever,” the woman writes in her email. “Introducing me to my husband is just not high on your to-do list. But I think I have an idea that might change that…” You guessed it, and this is where she offers to reward her “closest friends” with cold hard cash.“I will personally give ten thousand dollars to the friend who introduces me to my husband.”Here is how the program works:Step 1: You set me up on a date with a man.Step 2: I marry that man.Step 3: I give you $10,000 on my wedding day.I know you're thinking that this is nuts.

【英语】高三英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Many scientists today are convinced that life exists elsewhere in the universe---life probably much like that on our own planet. They reason in the following way.As far as astronomers can determine, the entire universe is built of the same matter. They have no reason to doubt that matter obeys the same laws in every part of the universe. Therefore, it is reasonable to guess that other stars, with their own planets, were born in the same way as our own solar system. What we know of life on earth suggests that life will arise wherever the proper conditions exist.Life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere. This eliminates(除去) all those planets in the universe that are not about the same size and weight as the earth. A smaller planet would lose its atmosphere; a larger one would hold too much of it.Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light. This eliminates double stars, or stars that flare up suddenly. Only single stars that are steady sources of heat and light like our sun would qualify.Finally, life could evolve(进化) only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun. With a weaker sun than our own, the planet would have to be closer to it. With a stronger sun, it would have to be farther away.If we suppose that every star in the universe has a family of planets, then how many planets might support life? First, eliminate those stars that are not like our sun. Next eliminate most of their planets; they are either too far from or too close to their suns. Then eliminate all those planets which are not the same size and weight as the earth. Finally, remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet. It may not have begun yet, or it may have already died out.This process of elimination seems to leave very few planets on which earthlike life might be found. However, even if life could exist on only one planet in a million, there are so many billions of planets that this would still leave a vast number on which life could exist.（1）The existence of life depends on all of the following factors EXCEPT .A.the right amount of atmosphereB.our own solar systemC.steady heat and lightD.the right distance from the sun（2）Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A.The planet must be as big and heavy as the earth.B.Proper conditions are essential to the existence of life.C.Double stars can provide steady light and heat.D.The distance between a planet and its sun should be right.（3）What kind of planet might NOT support life?A.Most of the planets of the stars.B.Stars similar to our sun.C.Planets similar to the earth.D.Planets with proper conditions.（4）At the end of the passage the author suggests that .A.it is impossible for life to exist on planetsB.earthlike life could only exist on a few planetsC.life could exist on only one planet in a millionD.life could exist on a great number of planets【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，整个宇宙都是由同一种物质构成的，物质在宇宙的每一部分都遵循同样的规律。

高考英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly. It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed, he adds.Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors ( 交叠式旋翼 )to power the vehicle.The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.In New Zealand, the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack “is built around safety from the start. In his words, reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula O ne racing car.”The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute (降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency. “It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves bo th the aircraft and the pilot,” he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.（1）We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike .A. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quicklyB. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters highC. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teamsD. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed（2）The writer uses the example of For One racing car to show that .A. the Jetpack is very safe and reliableB. the engine of the Jetpack is powerfulC. the actual structure of the Jetpack is uniqueD. the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height（3）The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to.A. the jet streamB. the engineC. the JetpackD. the parachute （4）What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?A. To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles.B. To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles.C. To show the differences between two flying vehicles.D. To advertise the two personalflying vehicles.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）D（4）A【解析】【分析】本文为说明文，主要讲述一种个人飞行工具很快就会应用于现实。

（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套（带答案）及解析（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解One of the biggest problems when we are talking is the awkward silence. Encountering this situation is so uncomfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the past, I struggled wit h this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something… But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you would otherwise have missed out on.After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and found that one of these common behaviors is the habit of filtering (过滤)--holding back from saying something until you've "checked" to make sure that what you're about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you don't know how to change from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. It's fun to realize that you're allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you don't say anything that could land you in jail (监狱).All of the "Oh! That's interesting…" "Hmm, I've never heard of that" "Hmm, cool!" expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that you're really listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, they'll hang around and want to talk to you even more.Everyone knows that stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if it's not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the harder they are to forget.（1）If people can deal with the awkward silence, they can .A. train their working skillB. improve their life qualityC. enrich their social lifeD. establish their working relationship（2）When talking with others, we should .A. feel nervousB. think twiceC. be free to expressD. avoid breaking in （3）According to the passage, what do the speakers care much about?A. The attractive topics of conversation.B. The atmosphere of the conversation.C. The listener's experiences and tastes.D. The listener's curiosity and concern.（4）What does the underlined part "juice-up conversations" mean?A. making conversations more boringB. making conversations livelierC. making conversations smootherD. making conversations more relaxing【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文本文是一篇议论文，我们谈话时最大的问题之一是尴尬的沉默。

英语英语阅读理解题20套带答案

（英语）英语阅读理解题20套（带答案）一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Dogs were living as companions to the early settlers of North America over 10,000 years ago. The oldest domestic dogs in the Americas were thought to be around 9500 years old. Angela Perri of Durham University, UK, and her colleagues have carried out fresh radiocarbon dating on the two dog skeletons that gave this date, discovered in the prehistoric Koster site in Illinois, and found they were even older: around 10,100 years old.A third dog from another Illinois site called Stilwell II was older still, at 10,190 years old. That makes it the oldest known domesticated dog in the Americas. The team concluded that all three dogs were domesticated as they skeletons were complete and unskinned, and so hadn't been butchered for food. They had also been carefully buried, evidence they were valued by their owners. The Stilwell II dog, which probably resembled a small English settler, was under what seemed to be the floor of a living area. It is unclear why it took so long for tame dogs to arrive in the Americas, given that they were domesticated at least 14,000 years ago in Eurasia. By this time, people were already moving into North America from Siberia; there is evidence some reached Chile 18,500 years ago. Geneticists have found signs of at least three waves of migration over the following millennia. There is no evidence that domestic dogs accompanied them. “We don't know if dogs were part of the first waves of immigration to the Americas" says Luc Janssens of Ghent University in Belgium. "It could be so, but no archaeological bones have yet been found." It is "overwhelmingly probable" that some of the early settlers did bring dogs to the Americas, but they may not have had "the time or the spiritual compulsion to bury them", says Pat Shipman of Pennsylvania State University.(1)How old is the oldest known domestic dog in the Americas7A. About 9500 years.B. About 10,100 years.C. 10,190 years.D. 18,500 years.(2)The underlined word "butchered" in the fourth paragraph could be replaced by.A. killedB. boughtC. trainedD. raised(3)What is the attitude towards when tame dogs arrived in the Americas in the last three paragraphs?A.

（英语）英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)含解析一、阅读理解1．阅读理解It's hard to turn down a tasty banana. They taste good and you don't have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.One reason for this is climate（气候） change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data（数据）from 27 countries and regions that produce 86 percent of the world's bananas. They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years, the average yield（平均产量） has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare（公顷）.However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the world's biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.Shouldn't bananas grow more easily if it's hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature range for growing bananas is between 24 and 32 C. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other crops, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings（茎段）rather than seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype（基因型）. In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus（真菌） in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation（种植园）suffers from the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists have yet to find a cure for this disease.（1）What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. People's love for bananas.B. The taste of bananas.C. The convenience of eating bananas.D. The future disappearance of bananas.（2）What might happen if temperatures keep going higher?A. More countries will start to grow bananas.B. Bananas will grow better in most countries.C. Bananas will not be able to grow any more.D. Bananas won't be as tasty as before.（3）What does Paragraph 5 tell us?A. What diseases bananas may suffer from.B. How bananas are grown.C. How diseases can easily kill bananas.D. Which diseases can kill bananas.（4）The passage is written to ________.A. offer tips for growing bananasB. explain why bananas may die outC. show the difficulties of growing bananasD. describe bananas' growing conditions【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】主要讲了香蕉可能消失的原因。

（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Durian(榴莲) is probably the smelliest fruit in the world, letting out an unusual unpleasant smell which would make anyone bring up. However, nobody was aware of what gave this fruit its unique smell, so a team of researchers from Singapore decided to take a look at its genome (基因组) and find out,Durian is well-known throughout Southeast Asia as the king of fruits, mostly because of its awful appearance and smell. However, the origin of this unpleasant smell was unknown, so researchers decided to map the genome of the fruit, and find the gene that controlled it. A group of genes, volatile sulfur compounds (含硫化合物), became very active in the fruit, and they were found responsible for resulting in the unpleasant smell.The fruit confuses everyone with a sulfuric smell, like rotten onions and ingredients. The smell lasts long, mostly because the fruit contains more volatile sulfur compounds. Other species usually benefit from two gene copies at most, but durian has four, leading to the striking smell.However, this smell might be an advantage for durian in the wild. Although we find it unpleasant, many animals might be attracted by it. If they eat the fruit, then they can easily spread its seeds everywhere, thus contributing to the distribution of the species.The mapping of the durian genome also showed some other information on the species. First of all, the fruit has an impressive number of genes, namely 46,000. Also, with the help of these genes, they saw how it evolved, and discovered it was related to the cacao tree. All the other discoveries have been published in the journal Nature Genetics.Despite the striking smell, many people actually enjoy eating the fruit. However, not all durian species are edible, and some of them may even cause damage to our health, Even so, the fruit is often imported, significantly contributing to the economy.（1）What give durian its unique smell?A. Onions nearby.B. Two gene copies.C. Rotten ingredients in it.D. Volatile sulfur compounds.（2）What does the underlin ed word “evolved” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Developed.B. Escaped.C. Predicted.D. Tolerated.（3）What can we infer from the text?A. No birds enjoy eating durian.B. Durian can be planted all over the world.C. Some of durian species can not be eaten.D. Durian has no relationship with the cacao tree.（4）What's the best title for the text?A. What's Durian?B. The Influence of the SmellC. The Distribution of DurianD. The Mystery of the Unpleasant Smell of Durian 【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）C（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，新加坡的研究者找出导致水果有难闻气味的原因就是水果中含有的挥发性硫化合物非常活跃，这种气味对于野外生存榴莲来说有利于吸引动物来吃这种水果，同时传播种子。

(1)考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的“so researchers decided to map the genome of the fruit, and find the gene that controlled it. A group of genes, volatile sulfur compounds (含硫化合物), became very active in the fruit, and they were found responsible for resulting in the unpleasant smell.”可知，研究人员找到一组基因——挥发性硫化合物（South-Type），在水果中非常活跃，发现是它们导致了这种难闻的气味。

故选D。

(2)考查词义猜测。

根据倒数第二段内容可知，研究者画出了榴莲的基因图。

通过基因图，发现了这种水果的基因庞大，有46000条基因。

在这些基因的帮助下，他们了解了榴莲的基因如何演变的，并发现榴莲与可可树有关。

A项develop“使进化”，与划线词evolved 是同义词。

故选A。

(3)考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的“not all durian species are edible, and some of them may even cause dam6.age to our health,”可知，并不是所有的榴莲都是能吃的，有些榴莲是不可以吃的。

由此可推断出选C。

(4)考查主旨大意。

文章说榴莲可能是世界上最臭的水果，但没有人知道原因。

新加坡的研究者决定来查明原因。

最后通过绘制的榴莲基因图发现了它难闻气味的原因。

由此可知，本文最好的题目应该是“榴莲难闻之谜”最为适合，故选D。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，，推理判断，词义猜测和主旨大意四个题型的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
