So I was ready for school no matter how I felt.My mother said that I had a temperature of 101 and that I should go back to bed. I told her I would have a big Spanish test I couldn’t miss. I also explained that I was working on a project in social studies and that I had to give a report today.

No one had expected the job cuts, which broke with traditional ways of letting go of workers in China. Moreover, what was special about this case was that the day before the 400 were fired, they all received from their boss a gift - the book “Who Moved My Cheese?”.The book - a bestseller in the US - is being used by men and women to deal with changes in their lives and work. Some large organizations, including Coca- Cola, Kodak and General Motors, ask their employees to read it in order to encourage them to be active towards changes.Cheese is something related to everyone’s livelihood - our jobs, the industries we work in, relationships and love as well.With China’s official entry into WTO, the whole nation will face up to more changes and challenges. So what should we do once this “cheese” on which we are so dependent is moved?“Whatever challenges and changes we meet, we should face up to them bravely” Jiang Hengwei, a civil servant said after reading the book.Professor Yang in Renmin University of China agrees. “We should change our way of thinking. The coming competitive foreign companies and products provide us with great chances to learn from them and improve our own products to meet international standards and be more competitive.”“With hard work and wisdom, we will create a much larger and better piece of cheese. ”Zhang smiled confidently.2．The whole passage is about________.A. a bestseller in the USB. what people think about China’s entry into the WTOC. people’s attitude toward changes and challengesD. how a book influences the Chinese workers3．The company in Beijing gave each of the 400 fired workers a copy of “Who Moved My Cheese” in order to________.A. be more competitive with foreign firmsB. find an excuse for their job cutsC. let the workers make a living on their ownD. encourage the fired workers4．The work “cheese”in the passage can refer to________.A. something we depend on for a livingB. a most important kind of foodC. change or challengeD. way of life5．From what Hengwei and Professor Zhang Yang said, we can know that________.A. they have different opinions on changes and challengesB. people are not afraid of competition from foreign companiesC. the Chinese people are ready to face any changes and challengesD. they are both greatly encouraged by the bookCThe law is a great mass of rules, showing when and how far a man is possible to be punished, or to be made to hand over money or property to his neighbors, and so on. These rules are contained in books. A lawyer learns them mainly by reading books.He begins by doing little else than read, and after he has prepared himself by. say. three years’study practice, still, all his life long and almost every day, he will be looking into books to read a little more than he already knows about some new questions which he has to answer.The power to use books, then. is a special skill which the would - be lawyer ought to possess. He ought to have enough flexibility（灵活性）to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words. He ought to have some readiness in finding what a book contains, and something of an instinct （直觉）for where to look for what he wants.But although this is the power of which he will first feel the need, it is not the most important. A lawyer does not study law to recite it; he studies it to use it and act upon the rules which he has learned in real life. His business is to try eases in court and to advise men what to do in order to keep out or get out of trouble.6．The first thing a law student has to do is to________.A. read booksB. hand over moneyC. practice lawD. answer questions7．After three years of reading________.A. he can study lawB. he can stop readingC. he still has to continue readingD. he is able to give clever answers8．The major business of a lawyer is________.A. to discuss the material he has readB. to advise people who have law problemsC. to learn about real lifeD. to study the law9．According to the passage, a good lawyer should know how to________.A. understand and use what he readsB. be convenient in everythingC. collect ideas from different sourcesD. use power in the court10．Which is the most important to a would - be lawyer?A. To possess a lot of books.B. to have enough flexibility when collecting ideas from printed words.C. To be ready to find out what a book contains.D. To be able to use his book knowledge in the right way in his future business.DYouth volunteers from Beijing University visited Song tang Hospital, a care clinic for the aged and dying patients, during the second Global Youth Service Day on April 21．Thirty student volunteers from the university’s School of International Studies sat at the beds of the patients in their specially- decorated“ care huts”. They talked with them and gave massages （按摩）to patients kept in their beds.I felt sorry that I could not offer more to these people than talking with them and trying to cheer them up. said Deng Yetao, 20, a third - year student. “But it occurred to me that they need more care and love than babies. They are afraid of the coming death. Their loneliness is worse than physical pains.”“Even though they are suffering a lot, the majority of the elderly people want to talk to us. Each of them has a lot of life experiences and philosophies to share. Instead of doing them a favor, I felt I was gaining a valuable lesson. Said Mao Xiaohua, another third - year student.Mao talked with two elderly patients for a whole afternoon. The fact that most of the patients in the 80 - room clinic are aged people with diseases which will lead to death soon made the volunteers’ hearts heavy.Ninety - one percent of the patients will spend the last days of their lives in the clinic, according to a survey by the hospital.Daily visits and services by social workers and youth volunteers are a very important part of their programmer. A total of 330, 000 Beijing students from 119 universities and colleges have visited the hospital. Many continue to offer services in their spare time. Some of them volunteer to hold the hands of dying patients during the last minutes of their lives.Yin Hang, a student f rom Beijing Medical College, said he felt“ the glory of life” as he saw the fading smile on the face of the old man who passed into a deep unconsciousness （昏迷）while he was holding his hands.11．Youth volunteers from Beijing University went to Songtang Hospital to________.A. pay a visit to the agedB. talk to the agedC. show their love for the agedD. help the aged out12．What the aged are most worried about is________.A. lonelinessB. deathC. physical painsD. wealth13．The underlined sentence probably means________.A. I taught myself a lesson by talking to themB. I learned something important instead of only helping themC. I only wanted to get something rather than do them a favorD. I was glad to have given them a favor14．When volunteers know most of the aged people are dying patients, they feel________ .A. sadB. disappointedC. satisfiedD. worthless15．After reading the passage, we know________.A. the youth are fond of doing popular thingsB. they Second Youth Service Day is started by the Chinese governmentC. 91% of the aged in China are facing deathD. the volunteers are taking an active part in the activityEThey are among the 250, 000 people under the age of 25 who are out of work in the Netherlands, a group that explains the cause of 40 percent of the nation’s unemployed. A storm of anger boils up at the government -sponsored（政府资助的）youth center, event among those who are continuing their studies.“We study for jobs that don’t exist, ” Nicollets Steggerda, 23, said.After thirty years of prosperity, unemployment among 10 member nations of the European Community has reached as much as 11 percent, affecting a total of 12.3 million people, and the number is climbing.The bitter disappointment long expressed by British youths is spreading across the Continent. The title of a rock song“ No Future” can now be seen written on the brick walls of closed factories in Belgium and France.Recent surveys have found that the increasing argument in the last few years over the deployment（部署）in Europe of North Atlantic Treaty Organization missiles and the possibility of nuclear war have clouded European youths' confidence（信心）in the future.One form of protest （an action that shows disagreement ）tends to put the responsibility for a country’s economic troubles on the large numbers of “guest workers” from Third World nations, people welcomed in Western Europe in the years of prosperity.Young Europeans, brought up in an extended period of economic success and general stability, seem to be similar to Americans more than they do their own parents. Material enjoyment has given them a sense of expectation , even the right, to a standard of living that they see around them.“And so we pass the days at the discos, or meet people at the cafe, and sit and stare, ” said Isabella Cault. “There is usually not much conversation. You look for happiness. Sometimes you even find it.”16．Unemployment in the Netherlands has affected________.A. about 0.6 million peopleB. 250, 000 peopleC. less than half of the populationD. one million people17．What Nicollete Steggerda said （Para. 2）means that________.A. what the students learn is more than necessaryB. the students cannot get work after graduationC. the students’aim in study is not clearD. school education is not sufficient（enough）18．What does the underlined word“prosperity” most probably mean?A. advance in politicsB. economic troublesC. political crisis（危机）D. achievements in economy19．British youths________.A. have pity on the unemployed on the ContinentB. have been the first to show their disappointment over joblessnessC. care about unemployment in France and BelgiumD. are trying to find work on the Continent20．It seems that young Europeans________.A. are more like Americans than their elders in their way of thinkingB. look more like Americans than their elders doC. expect more from Americans than from their eldersD. look upon life as their elders do参考答案1．A2．C3．D4．A5．C6．A7．C8．B9．A10．D11．C12．A13．B14．A15．D16．A17．B18．D19．B20．A。
2011年高考英语阅读理解答案全解
2011年高考英语阅读理解答案全解湖北卷AHonesty, my mum always used to tell me, is the best policy. Of course, this didn‘t include her when she told me that if I didn‘t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas could find out and wouldn‘t give me any presents.But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients. After all, the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential. Or so I thought.I had just started working in geriatrics (老年病科), Mr. McMahon was brought in when his belly was found very swollen. I took a medical history from his daughter who‘d accompanied him in the ambulance. She‘d been his main carer for years. I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history. ―Has he lost any weight recently?‖ I asked, ―Well, it‘s funny you should mention that, but yes,‖she said slowly. There was silence for a few moments. ―Why? What are you worried about?‖ she asked. I hesitated. She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth. ―Well, we need to prove it‘s not cancer,‖ I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.Half an hour later, a nurse called me: ―Mr. McMahon‘s daughter broke down —she said you told her he had cancer.‖ My heart sank. By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of rests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer. I stood silently at the end of the bed. My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon, she turned to me. ―Why on earth did you do that?‖she asked in disbelief. I looked at her and bit my lip. ―She asked me what I was worried about and I told her.‖ I said, hanging my head. ―And give her more to worry about?‖ replied my consultant. ―You don‘t say the word ‗cancer‘ until it‘s confirmed. Even if you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people.‖As it turned out, it wasn‘t cancer. But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they‘re sometimes selective in what they hear —and as a doctor it‘s important to be mindful of this. In being truthful, I‘d made the situation worse.51．The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author ________.A. misunderstood the doctor-patient relationshipB. was anxious to receive Christmas giftsC. regarded honesty as the best policyD. had an unhealthy eating habit 52．The author‘s consultant was angry with him because ________.A. he told the daughter what he suspectedB. he delayed running the necessary testsC. he failed to confirm the patient‘s diseaseD. he forgot what the consultant hadadvised53．The author hung his head (the underlined part in Para. 4) because he was feeling ________.A. guiltyB. hurtC. disappointedD. helpless54．What lesson has the author learnt from his experience？A. Learning from parents is necessary.B. Jumping to a conclusion is dangerous.C. Telling the truth may not always be the best solution.D. Selecting pleasant words may not be the perfect policy.BHowling is a behaviour commonly observed among a wolf pack. As pack animals, wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each other. There are different explanations of a wolf‘s howl and it appears that there may be more to discover.One theory is that wolves howl to bond better together. It‘s almost as if howling together help the pack stay together. Perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together. But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H. Harrington, a professor who studies wolf behaviour.Indeed, there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus, and the next, quarreling among each other. It appears that usually the lowest-ranking members of the pack may actually be ―punished‖ for joining in the chorus at times. So is howling a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members? —Why do wolves howl for sure?What is clear, however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other. Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times. When this happens, howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering.Howling, interesting, is a contagious behaviour. When one wolf starts to howl, very likely others will follow. This is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort of ―roll call‖ where wolves all howl together to report their presence.55．What is the possible similarity between wolves‘ howling together and human‘s singing in chorus?A. The act of calling each other.B. The sense of accomplishment.C. The act of hunting for something.D. The sense of belonging to a group.56．Why does Harrington think the ―social bond‖ theory may be wrong?A. Wolves separate from each other after howling.B. Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds.C. Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together.D. Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus.57．Researchers are sure that wolves often howl to ________.A. show their ranksB. find their companionsC. report the missing onesD. express their loneliness58．―Howling…is a contagious behaviour‖ (in the last paragraph) means ________.A. howling is a signal for huntingB. howling is a way of communicationC. howling often occurs in the morningD. howling spread from one to anotherCIn today‘s throw-away society, dealing with the city‘s growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council (市议会).Recently, Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of (处理) about 250,000 million tons of waste a year. Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner —largely through encouraging recycling —its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.The European Union (EU) has issued a new policy, regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed of. The five councils (Edinburgh, east Lothian, West Lothian, Midlothian and Borders) face fines around £18 million a year from 2013 if they don‘t increase recycling levelsand rely less on landfill. With this in mind the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant (垃圾焚烧厂) to burn half of the waste produced in their districts. But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the city‘s waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.After the plan was abandoned, a private company which already transported millions of tons of the city‘s waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar, offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015, it seemd necessary for the members of the Edinburg Council to accept the suggestion. But soon they turned it down —after 700 local objections reached them —because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.That still leaves the council with a problem. By 2013, only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to landfill. Even if recycling targets are met, there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up. Due to this, Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator pant as time to find a solution is fast running out.59．The main way handling waste in a green manner in Edinburgh is ________.A. recyclingB. restoringC. buryingD. burning60．The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant to ________.A. reduce the cost of burying wasteB. meet the EU requirementsC. speed up waste recyclingD. replace landfill sites61．The city council of Edinburgh rejected the suggestion to open a huge landfill site near Portobello because ________.A. it came from a private companyB. the council was not interested in itC. it was not supported by EUD. the local people were against it62．What is the final decision of Edinburgh and Midlothian councils?A. To open a new landfill nearby.B. To close the Powderhall landfill in2015C. To set up a plant for burning waste.D. To persuade people to reduce theirwaste.DFeeling blue about the world? ―Cheer up,‖ says science writer Matt Ridley. ―The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature.‖Ridley calls himself a rational optimist —rational, because he‘s carefully weighed the evidence; optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good. And this is what he‘s set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book, The Rational Optimist. He views mankind as a grand enterprise that, on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years. He backs his findings with hard facts gathered through years of research.Here‘s how he explains his views.1) Shopping fuels inventionIt is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone. Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, better cars, and, of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us. This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things. The more we specialize and exchange, the better off we‘ll be.2) Brilliant advancesOne reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ever before isthat the four most basic human needs —food, clothing, fuel and shelter —have grown a lot cheaper. Take one example. In 1800 a candle providing one hour‘s light cost six hour‘s work. In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes‘ work to pay for. In 1950 it was eight seconds. Today it‘s half second.3) Let‘s not kill ourselves for climate changeMitigating (减轻) climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself. A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village where the use of fossil-fuel (化石燃料) electricity is forbidden by well-meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change. If climate change proves to be mild, but cutting carbon causes real pain, we may well find that we have stopped a nose-bleed by putting a tourniquet (止血带) around our necks63．What is the theme of Ridley‘s most recent book?A. Weakness of human nature.B. Concern about climate change.C. Importance of practical thinking.D. Optimism about human progress.64．How does Ridley look at shopping?A. It encourages the creation of things.B. It results in shortage of goods.C. It demands more fossil fuels.D. It causes a poverty problem.65．The candle and lamp example is used to show that ________.A. oil lamps give off more light than candlesB. shortening working time brings about a happier lifeC. advanced technology helps to produce better candlesD. increased production rate leads to lower cost of goods66．What does the last sentence of the passage imply?A. Cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost.B. overreaction to climate change may be dangerous.C. People‘s health is closely related to climate change.D. Careless medical treatment may cause great pain.EWhich are your more likely to have with you at any given moment —your cell-phone or your wallet? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner.In January, Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6,800 of its stores. This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U.S., but we‘re likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication (NFC) gets into America‘s consumer electronics. Last December, some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public.Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminal —a contact-free system built for speed and convenience. But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U.S., a few problems need to be worked out, like who will get to collect the profitable transaction (交易) fees. Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC-enabled credit cards, cellphone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale (POS) market. Three big cellphone service providers have formed a joint venture (合资企业) that will go into operation over the next 15 months. Its goal is ―to lead the U.S. payments industry from cards to mobile phones.‖The other big NFC issue, apart from how payments will be processed, is security. For instance, what‘s to stop a thief from digitally pickpocketing you? ―We‘re still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of yourphone.‖ says Jimmy Shah, a mobile-security researcher. ―Users may also be able to set transaction limits, perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.‖Still uneasy about this digital-wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose your smart phone, it can be located on a map and remotely disabled. Plus, your phone can be password protected. Your wallet isn‘t.67．What is predicted to happen in the U.S.?A. the expansion of cellphone companies.B. The boom of pay-by-phone business.C. The disappearance of credit cards.D. The increase of Starbucks sales.68．The NFC technology can be used to ________.A. ensure the safety of shoppersB. collect transaction fees easilyC. make purchase faster and simplerD. improve the quality of cellphones69．Three cellphone service providers form a joint venture to ________.A. strengthen their relationshipB. get a share in the payments industryC. sell more cellphonesD. test the NFC technology70．According to the passage, what can users do if they lose their smart phone?A. Stop the functioning of their phones.B. Set up a password.C. Get all the money out of their phones.D. Cancel large purchases.答案解析：51．解析：推理判断题。

At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding? To see whether babies know objects are solid. T. Bower designed amethod for projecting an optical illusion()of a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could be expected to show surprised in their faces and movements, All the 16 to 24-week-old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there. Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land? Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to re-appear. If the experiment took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The re-searcher substituted(鏇挎崲) a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week-old babies did not seem to notice the switch(鏇存崲).Thus,the16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of 鈥渟omething permanence,鈥?while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object. 1.The passage is mainly about . A.babies鈥檚ense of sight B.effects of experiments on babies C.babies鈥檜nderstanding of objects D.different tests on babies鈥檉eelings 2.In Paragraph 3, 鈥渙bject permanence鈥?means that when out of sight, and object . A.still exists B.keeps its shape C.still stays solid D.is beyond reach 3.What did Bower use in his experiments? A.A chair B.A screen C.A film D.A box 4. 39.Which of the following statements is true? A.The babies didn鈥檛have a sense of direction. B.The older babies preferred toy trains to balls. C. The younger babiesliked looking for missing objects D.The babies couldn鈥檛tell a ball from its optical illusion. B The Three Gorges (涓夊场)Dam, the largest dam in the world, is also the largest engineering project on the face of the earth. It aims to make the mother of all floods, the Changjiang River, into a tame river and it will be the largest power source for much of eastern and central China.It will create a huge, deep-water lake, and make it possible for 10,000 ton ocean going ships to sail 15,000 miles inland from the Pacific to the city of Chongqing with its 30 million people, making it the word鈥檚largest river port. Construction has already started. The dam will be a-bout 6,860 feet long and 611 feet high, at a spot called Sandouping near Yichang. After many years of investigation(璋冪爺)experts have drawn a conclusion that this grand project will do a great deal of good. The most important thing is flood control.By building a dam instead of new coal plants to meet its growing demand for electricity, China will give off much less poisonous gases into the air. However, some scientists don鈥檛agree to the project. They say that Chongqing and dozens of other cities along the river will put much waste into the reservoir(姘村簱),which can do harm to people, fish and other living things that depend on the river. Sedimentation(娌夌Н)and damage of a breach (鍐冲彛)are problems, too. The Three Gorges Dam could be considered, when it is finished in 2009,a new eighth wonder of the world as to the size alone. 5. Which is not the purpose to build such a huge dam? A.To make electricity. B.To prevent floods. C.To improve navigation(杩愯緭) D.To make it a wonder. 6. Where does the dam lie ? A.Near Chongqing. B.Near Yichang. C.In the Three Gorges D.In Wuhan. 7. It will take about to complete the dam. A.eight years B.more than ten years C.half a century D.more than twenty years. 8. Some scientists fear that .A.when the dam is built, the balance of nature may be destroyedB. sedimentation may occurC.a breach may cause millions of people to die or to be homelessD.electricity will not be as much as expected 9. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT right? A.When finished, the dam will be one of themain bases of power source of China. B.People have different ideas about the setting up of the dam C.It will take many years to build the dam because people want to see whether it will be safe and strong enough. D.Chongqing will become the largest river port in the world when the dam is finished. C Foreigners are likely to acquire(鑾峰緱)more investment opportunities in china since the central government has passed a fresh regulation to Tuesday to attract foreign capital(璧勬湰) The regulation, which will take effect on April 1, out-lines how china will expand co-owned enterprisesre-form(浼佷笟鏀归潻) According to the regulation, overseas investors are expected to become shareholders in the key state-owned enterprises. Overseas investors will even allowed to hold the controlling stake(鎺ц偂)in the large state-owned enterprises, except for those of key importance to national or economic security. 鈥淐hina鈥檚WTO membership has reduced the risks and costs for foreign investors, and more capital and advanced techniques and expert knowledge or skill are expected to flown in,鈥漚n official said. In particular, the new regulationappeals(makes an ear-nest request) for capital for agricultural technology, transportation, energy and new material industry, The service industry, including banking, will gradually become another focal point of co-operation. The country hopes foreign investors start businesses in the western regions, where they will enjoy more favourable taxation policies for the nest 10years. 10.A great deal of foreign capital has come to china because . A the foreign investors have too much money B there are too many enterprises in china C China is a large country D China鈥檚reform will bring great benefit to the foreign investors 11.If foreign investors start their business in the west-ern regions, they will .

A.Foreign capital is appealed for to develop the new material industry. B.Foreign capital is appealed to take part in China鈥?C.Foreigners are encouraged to take part in China鈥檚enterprises reform. D.Foreign investors canhold the controlling stake of all the large state-owned enterprises. 13.From the passage we can infer that china鈥檚service industry will in future.鈥?A fall behind others B. develop at the same speed as now C.be developed rapidly D.continueco-operation with foreigners D.

2011届高考英语阅读理解专练复习题47
江苏省2011届高三英语阅读理解专练（47）AWind—even the slightest of winds can prevent frost (霜冻).T hat’s because wind is like a spoon in your cup of tea: it stirs （搅起）things down and brings down a lot of warm air that often floats just above housetops and trees .It may seem strange , but ice itself sometimes can protect crops from frost . Some growers actually spray their crops with water on a freezing night . Water freezes quickly on plants and then a strange thing happens . As long as ice stays wet , it can’t get colder than 32°F, a temperaure many plants can stand . By continual spraying water on the ice , the growers keep it from going below 32 degrees even if the air is much colder . This may defeat frost and saves plants .This strange kind of “ice blanket” works onl y on plants that are strong enough to stand the weight of frozen spray . This is used even to protect banana plants on some Central American farms .1．If the ice became entirely frozen and dry , suppose what might happen .A．The plants might be frozen to death . B．The plants might benefit from it .C．It might save the plants . D．It might make the plants grow slowly . 2．Ice can save plants rather than destroy them on condition that they are .A．sprayed regularly B．quickly frozen C．not strong enough D．used to frost3．The best title would be .A．Frost Saves crops B．Ice Battle C．Ice Can Be Nice D．Ice Is Good4．In which of the following sentences “stand” has the same meaning as in the last paragraph ?A．He could hardly stand . B．This house stands the test of time .C．The train stood for an hour . D．He stands in terrible danger .BBuild the highway and watch the town grow . At first a few shops appear and maybe a restaurant . Then a hotel opens . Eventually new houses are built . A village is born .This is also how the virtual world has developed . Think of the Internet as the road carrying information between two computers . Think of the World Wide Web as the village . At first it is just a place on the virtual road where travelers meet . More travelers come bringing new kinds of information . New villages are started .Every village has a founder . Tim Berners Lee is the man who wrote the software program that led to the foundation of the World Wide Web . How did he get the idea ? He tells us on his own website : “ One of the things computers were not able to do was store contacts from different sources . The dream behind the Web is of a common space in which we communicate by sharing information.”Tim Berners Lee could have followed the Microsoft route by forming a company to sell the programs he invented . Or he could have joined an existing company . But in his view the Web is a language , not a product . Charging a fee for using his programs would have slowed the growth of the Web . And other companies would make similar products to compete . Instead of one World Wide Web there would be several smaller Webs . Each would use incompatible （不相容的）software . The Web is valuable because it uses a common computer language to reach people and share information . Competing Webs would lose this value .Imagine if somebody sent you a bill every time you spoke a word of English .In 1994 Tim Berners Lee formed World Wide Web Consortium , or W3C. More than 200 leading companies and laboratories are represented by W3C. Together they make sure that everyone no matter what their equipment or software is can work equally on the Web .“The Web can help people to understand the way that others live and love . It helps us understan d the humanity of people ,” he says .5．Which appeared first , the Web or the Internet ?A．The Web . B．The InternetC．They appeared at the same time . D．There is no clue in the passage . 6．What does the underlined part “ the virtual world” refer to ?A．The computer system . B．Scientific researchC．All the information on the Web and the Internet .D．People working on the Web and the Internet7．What can be inferred from the sentence “Imagine if somebody sent you a bill every time you spoke a word of English ?A．The information on the Web should be shared by all .B．The Web is where all kinds of information are stored .C．People can get all kinds of information on the Web . D．People can communicate on the Web .8．Which is the main idea of the passage ?A．How Tim Berners Lee founded the World Wide Web .B．The advantage of working on the World Wide Web .C．Why Tim Berners Lee wanted to found the World Wide Web .D．The building of World Wide Web is similar to the building of highways .CFOREIGN EXCHANGEA．Susan Lane and Sara Small B．Linda Marks and David LinksC．Tom Jennings and Linda Marks D．Leanne Smythe and Tom Jennings10．The writing above would probably be .A．the records of students’ activities B．the foreign students’ name cardsC．the notice about a visit to foreign countriesD．the advertisement from an international travel service11．The student who valued learning another language is .A．Linda Marks B．Sara Small C．Tom Jennings D．Leanne Smythe 12．How many students mention the culture difference they have experienced ?A．Three . B．Four . C．Five . D．Six .DTake care about those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true , but leaves out important information that should be included , he can make a false impression . For example , someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery . It was great . I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars !”This guy is a winner , right ? Maybe , maybe not . We then discovered that he bought two hundred tickets , and only one was a winner .He is really a big loser ! He didn’t say anything that was f alse , but he intentionally left out important information . That’s called a half-truth . Half truths are not technically lies , but they are just as dishonest .Untrustworthy candidates（候选人）in political campaigns often use this trick . Let’say that during Governor Smith’s last term , her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs . Then she seeks another term . One of her opponents (对手) runs and ad. saying , “During Governor Smith’s term , the state lost one million jobs !” That’s true . How ever ,an honest statement would have been , “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs .”Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths . It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth . An ad might boast （吹嘘）, “Nine out of ten-doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation .This kind of trick happens too often . It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies ,and sometimes the truth can lie as well .13．Which of the statements is true according to the article ?A．All advertisements are lies .B．You can’t trust anyone who tells the truth .C．The truth can be used in dishonest ways .D．Whenever people tell the truth , they are really lying .14．What does the underlined word “deceive” probably mean ?A．tell B．explain C．fool D．win15．The writer suggests in this article that people should .A．believe in nobody B．vote for female candidatesC．stay away from political campaigns D．think carefully about what they read and hear 16．What is the best title for this article ?A．Everyone Lies at PresentB．Lying With the TruthC．Try to Be Honest to the PeopleD．Don’t Believe People Who Tell the TruthEA new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as the result of a condition known as jet lag . Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane . People with jet lag may feel extremely tired for several days . They may also have problems thinking clearly and remembering .Recently a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain reported the findings of his jet lag study , which involved twenty young women who worked for international airlines . They had served passengers on airplanes for five years . These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones . In the study , the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag . Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights . The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas .The researcher took some saliva from the women’s mouths to measure levels of a hormone （荷尔蒙）that increases during stress（紧张）. He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen . And he took pictures of their brains to measurethe size of the brain’s temporal lobes （脑叶）.It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes . This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen . The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test . And their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones .The researcher believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip . He says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four years . Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory .Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain . They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently （永久性的）affect memory .17．According to the text , jet lag .A．can cause difficulties in speakingB．can make people feel tired for a few weeksC．can be only found in flight attendantsD．can be caused by flying over several time zones18．It can be inferred from the text that .A．the conclusion is refused by many scientistsB．scientists fear that this research is not done properlyC．every scientific conclusion needs the support from many testsD．the women who were examined in the research were not healthy19．From the result of the research we can see that .A．the women who have longer rest at home show better memoryB．the women who fly in short time have smaller right temporal lobesC．the women who have longer flights fail the memory testD．the women who rest more than 14 days produce less hormones20．What is the subject discussed in the text ?A．The cause of jet lag .B．A story of a group of flight attendants .C．The importance of having enough rest after flights .D．A research about the effects of jet lag on the brain .参考答案AACBB CACCA BACCD BDCAD。

But I knew Jane was having a big party the weekend after this, and I knew she’d invite me if I saw her in school. So I was ready for school no matter how I felt.My mother said that I had a temperature of 101 and that I should go back to bed. I told her I would have a big Spanish test I couldn’t miss. I also explained that I was working on a project in social studies and that I had to give a report today. But she said that I sounded not just sick, but crazy, and that I had better go back to bed.1．What is the real reason the author wants to go to school?A. To see Jane.B. To take a test in Spanish.C. To show that he isn’t sick.D. To give a report in social studies.BSeveral days ago, a Beijing - based IT company fired about 400 people overnight. No one had expected the job cuts, which broke with traditional ways of letting go of workers in China. Moreover, what was special about this case was that the day before the 400 were fired, they all received from their boss a gift - the book “Who Moved My Cheese?”.The book - a bestseller in the US - is being used by men and women to deal with changes in their lives and work. Some large organizations, including Coca- Cola, Kodak and General Motors, ask their employees to read it in order to encourage them to be active towards changes.Cheese is something related to everyone’s livelihood - our jobs, the industries we work in, relationships and love as well.With China’s official entry into WTO, the whole nation will face up to more changes and challenges. So what should we do once this “cheese” on which we are so dependent is moved?“Whatever challenges and changes we meet, we should face up to them bravely” Jiang Hengwei, a civil servant said after reading the book.Professor Yang in Renmin University of China agrees. “We should change our way of thinking. The coming competitive foreign companies and products provide us with great chances to learn from them and improve our own products to meet international standards and be more competitive.”“With hard work and wisdom, we will create a much larger and better piece of cheese. ”Zhang smiled confidently.2．The whole passage is about________.A. a bestseller in the USB. what people think about China’s entry into the WTOC. people’s attitude toward changes and challengesD. how a book influences the Chinese workers3．The company in Beijing gave each of the 400 fired workers a copy of “Who Moved My Cheese” in order to________.A. be more competitive with foreign firmsB. find an excuse for their job cutsC. let the workers make a living on their ownD. encourage the fired workers4．The work “cheese”in the passage can refer to________.A. something we depend on for a livingB. a most important kind of foodC. change or challengeD. way of life5．From what Hengwei and Professor Zhang Yang said, we can know that________.A. they have different opinions on changes and challengesB. people are not afraid of competition from foreign companiesC. the Chinese people are ready to face any changes and challengesD. they are both greatly encouraged by the bookCThe law is a great mass of rules, showing when and how far a man is possible to be punished, or to be made to hand over money or property to his neighbors, and so on. These rules are contained in books. A lawyer learns them mainly by reading books.He begins by doing little else than read, and after he has prepared himself by. say. three years’study practice, still, all his life long and almost every day, he will be looking into books to read a little more than he already knows about some new questions which he has to answer.The power to use books, then. is a special skill which the would - be lawyer ought to possess. He ought to have enough flexibility（灵活性）to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words. He ought to have some readiness in finding what a book contains, and something of an instinct （直觉）for where to look for what he wants.But although this is the power of which he will first feel the need, it is not the most important. A lawyer does not study law to recite it; he studies it to use it and act upon the rules which he has learned in real life. His business is to try eases in court and to advise men what to do in order to keep out or get out of trouble.6．The first thing a law student has to do is to________.A. read booksB. hand over moneyC. practice lawD. answer questions7．After three years of reading________.A. he can study lawB. he can stop readingC. he still has to continue readingD. he is able to give clever answers8．The major business of a lawyer is________.A. to discuss the material he has readB. to advise people who have law problemsC. to learn about real lifeD. to study the law9．According to the passage, a good lawyer should know how to________.A. understand and use what he readsB. be convenient in everythingC. collect ideas from different sourcesD. use power in the court10．Which is the most important to a would - be lawyer?A.

To be able to use his book knowledge in the right way in his future business.DYouth volunteers from Beijing University visited Song tang Hospital, a care clinic for the aged and dying patients, during the second Global Y outh Service Day on April 21．Thirty student volunteers from the university’s School of International Studies sat at the beds of the patients in their specially- decorated“ care huts”. They talked with them and gave massages （按摩）to patients kept in their beds.I felt sorry that I could not offer more to these people than talking with them and trying to cheer them up. said Deng Yetao, 20, a third - year student. “But it occurred to me that they need more care and love than babies. They are afraid of the coming death. Their loneliness is worse than physical pains.”“Even though they are suffering a lot, the majority of the elderly people want to talk to us. Each of them has a lot of life experiences and philosophies to share. Instead of doing them a favor, I felt I was gaining a valuable lesson. Said Mao Xiaohua, another third - year student.Mao talked with two elderly patients for a whole afternoon. The fact that most of the patients in the 80 - room clinic are aged people with diseases which will lead to death soon made the volunteers’ hearts heavy.Ninety - one percent of the patients will spend the last days of their lives in the clinic, according to a survey by the hospital.Daily visits and services by social workers and youth volunteers are a very important part of their programmer. A total of 330, 000 Beijing students from 119 universities and colleges have visited the hospital. Many continue to offer services in their spare time. Some of them volunteer to hold the hands of dying patients during the last minutes of their lives.Yin Hang, a student f rom Beijing Medical College, said he felt“ the glory of life” as he saw the fading smile on the face of the old man who passed into a deep unconsciousness （昏迷）while he was holding his hands.11．Youth volunteers from Beijing University went to Songtang Hospital to________.A. pay a visit to the agedB. talk to the agedC. show their love for the agedD. help the aged out12．What the aged are most worried about is________.A. lonelinessB. deathC. physical painsD. wealth13．The underlined sentence probably means________.A. I taught myself a lesson by talking to themB. I learned something important instead of only helping themC. I only wanted to get something rather than do them a favorD. I was glad to have given them a favor14．When volunteers know most of the aged people are dying patients, they feel________ .A. sadB. disappointedC. satisfiedD. worthless15．After reading the passage, we know________.A. the youth are fond of doing popular thingsB. they Second Y outh Service Day is started by the Chinese governmentC. 91% of the aged in China are facing deathD. the volunteers are taking an active part in the activityEThey are among the 250, 000 people under the age of 25 who are out of work in the Netherlands, a group that explains the cause of 40 percent of the nation’s unemployed. A storm of anger boils up at the government -sponsored（政府资助的）youth center, event among those who are continuing their studies.“We study for jobs that don’t exist, ” Nicollets Steggerda, 23, said.After thirty years of prosperity, unemployment among 10 member nations of the European Community has reached as much as 11 percent, affecting a total of 12.3 million people, and the number is climbing.The bitter disappointment long expressed by British youths is spreading across the Continent. The title of a rock song“ No Future” can now be seen written on the brick walls of closed factories in Belgium and France.Recent surveys have found that the increasing argument in the last few years over the deployment（部署）in Europe of North Atlantic Treaty Organization missiles and the possibility of nuclear war have clouded European youths' confidence（信心）in the future.One form of protest （an action that shows disagreement ）tends to put the responsibility for a country’s economic troubles on the large numbers of “guest workers” from Third World nations, people welcomed in Western Europe in the years of prosperity.Young Europeans, brought up in an extended period of economic success and general stability, seem to be similar to Americans more than they do their own parents. Material enjoyment has given them a sense of expectation , even the right, to a standard of living that they see around them.“And so we pass the days at the discos, or meet people at the cafe, and sit and stare, ” said Isabella Cault. “There is usually not much conversation. You look for happiness. Sometimes you even find it.”16．Unemployment in the Netherlands has affected________.A. about 0.6 million peopleB. 250, 000 peopleC. less than half of the populationD. one million people17．What Nicollete Steggerda said （Para. 2）means that________.A. what the students learn is more than necessaryB. the students cannot get work after graduationC. the students’aim in study is not clearD. school education is not sufficient（enough）18．What does the underlined word“prosperity” most probably mean?A. advance in politicsB. economic troublesC. political crisis（危机）D. achievements in economy19．British youths________.A. have pity on the unemployed on the ContinentB. have been the first to show their disappointment over joblessnessC. care about unemployment in France and BelgiumD. are trying to find work on the Continent20．It seems that young Europeans________.A. are more like Americans than their elders in their way of thinkingB. look more like Americans than their elders doC. expect more from Americans than from their eldersD. look upon life as their elders do参考答案1．A2．C3．D4．A5．C6．A7．C8．B9．A10．D11．C12．A13．B14．A15．D16．A17．B18．D19．B20．A。
2011届高考英语阅读理解实战演练详解版[共120篇]
2011届高考英语阅读理解专题实战演练(共120篇+详细解析)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
(第1篇)You know how wonderful you are, and you know that others know how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy? For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship. When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is. Don’t let jealousy spoil your relationships. Tackle it head on and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is, but if you want to save your friendship you’ll have to do just that. Don’t approach them and ask why they are jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally conceited), just take some time alone with them and let them know that you’ve been feeling like there’s been something coming between you. If they refuse to respond, then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling. Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.When you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better. If, for example, (s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn’t get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from tee swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you. Remember, though, that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise. Don’t limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy. Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.Even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy. This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies. Before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise.If you can’t, be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won’t.解读：本文是关于人际关系的话题。
2011年高考英语 阅读理解专项训练40篇(附解答)
2011年高考英语阅读理解专项训练40篇〔附解答〕一、自测题：Text 1After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!1 A good title for this passage is ____.A. Sleep C. DreamsB. Good Health D. Work and Rest2. The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ____.A. sick C. asleepB. stand up D. a little sleepy3. This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _____.A. dream more often C. nervousB. have poor health D. breathe quickly4. During REM, ____.A. your eyes move quickly C. you are restlessB. you dream D. both A and B5. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ______ .A. approximately six hours C. about eight hoursB. around ten hours D. not stated hereText 2Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera .All they have to so is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if the has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it ,so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and the they have actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn’t it?There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.6. What is the major function of paragraph 1?A. To a rouse the reader’s concernB. To introduce the theme of the whole passageC. To summarize the whole passageD. To sate the primary uses of TV7. Television, as a source of entertainment, is ______.A. not very convenientB. very expensiveC. quite dangerousD. relatively cheap8. Why are some people against TV?A. Because TV programs re not interestingB. Because TV viewers are totally passiveC. Because TV prices are very high.D. Because TV has both advantages and disadvantages9. One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that ______.A. it keeps us informedB. it is very cheapC. it enables us to have a restD. it controls our lives10. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on _______ .A. its qualityB. people ’s attitude towards itC. how we use itD. when we use itText 3Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living . Some stay long at a job and learn to like it ;others quite from one to another looking for something to suit them, the young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educationalinstitution. Nearly all grope(摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them, Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment, It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest .Noting is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck (受到严重伤害的人)and a bitter person.11. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they _____ .A. have ruined their talentsB. have taken on an unsuitable jobC. think of nothing but their salaryD. are not aware of their own potential12. The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that_____ .A. much competition has to be facedB. many employees have no working experienceC. the young people only care about how much they can earnD. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance13. Which of the following statements is most important according to the passage?A. Your job must suit your interest.B. Your job must set a pattern of life.C. Your job must offer you a high salary.D. Your job must not ruin your talents.14.The best title for this passage would be ____.A. What Can A Good Job OfferB. Earning A LivingC. Correct Attitude On Job-huntingD. How To Choose A Job15. The word “pathetic〞in paragraph 2 most probably means ____ .A. splendidB. miserableC. disgustedD. touching1.A 文章的第一段谈到睡眠能使身体健康，第二段、第三段谈到睡眠的几种状态，最后一段谈到很快入睡的几种方法。
