It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商) follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men's clothes tend to button from the right, and women's from the left. Considering most of the world's population----men and women----are right-handed, the men's standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women's clothes button from the left? History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women's shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men's shirts button from the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt. Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all women's shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women's shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men's shirts.( ) 1. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.B. It is different for men's clothing and women's.C. It woks better with men than with women.D. It fails to consider right-handed people.( ) 2. What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century?A. They tended to wear clothes without buttons.B. They were interested in the historical matters.C. They were mostly dressed by servants.D. They drew their swords from the left.( ) 3. Women's clothes still button from the left today because.A. adopting men's style is improper for womenB. manufacturers should follow standardsC. modern women dress themselvesD. customs are hard to change( ) 4.

高考英语阅读理解训练习题汇总三篇高考英语阅读理解训练习题 1The man from the west stopped and drew back his arm.“You're not Jimmy Wells," he said in a quick and angry way, "Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change a man' nose from a Roman to pug." "It sometimes changes a good man into a bad on e,” said the tall man, "you've been under arrest for ten minutes.Silky Bob.Chicago thinks you may have dropped over our way and phones us she wants to have a word with you.Going quietly, are you? That's sensible.Now before we go to the station here's a note I was asked to hand you.You may read it here at the window.It's from Patrolman Wells?" The man from the West opened the little piece of paper handed him.His hand was steady when he began to read, but it trembled a little by the time he�d finished.The note was rather short.Bob: I was at the right place on time.When you struck the match to light your cigar I saw it was the face wanted in Chicago.Somehow I couldn't do it myself, so I went around and got a plain clothes man (便衣) to do the job.1.The man from the West must have broken the law _____.A.in ChicagoB.in New YorkC.in his hometownD.somewhere else2.The man from the West recognized the tall man not to be the one he had been waiting for because the tall man ____.A.had a different accent from hisB.had a different nose from his friend'sC.was his another old friendD.said "Chicago wants to talk with you.?"3.The two men may have walked _____.A.for ten minutesB.arm in armC.face to faceD.both A and B4.We can suppose Jim _____.A.was afraid of the man from the WestB.got another man to help him when necessaryC.had an appointment with Bob 20 years agoD.had something else to do and couldn't e himselfKeys:1-4 ABDC高考英语阅读理解训练习题 2Fear and its panion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they are used.If fire didn't hurt when itburned,children would play with it until their hands were burned away.Similarly,if pain existed but fear didn't,a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before.A really fearless soldier―and some do exist―is not agood soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army.Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used.If,for example,you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car,you are letting fear rule you too much.The important thing is not to let fear rule you,but instead,to use fear as your servant and guide.Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.In many cases,you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger.For example,you see a car ing straight towards you; fear warns you,you jump out of the way,and all is well.In some cases,however,you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger.For example,you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house,and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no airplanes.In this case,fear has given you its warning,you have examined it and decided on your course of action,so fear of the particular danger is no longer of any use to you,and you have to try to e it.60.Children would play with fire until their hands are burnt away if_________.A.they were not well educated at schoolB.they had never played with fire beforeC.they had no sense of painD.they were fearful of pain61.People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because_________.A.they have gained experienceB.they are warned of the danger and take quick actionC.they jump out of the way in timeD.they are calm in face of danger62.What is implied but not stated in the passage?A.Too much fear is harmfulB.Fear is always something helpfulC .Fear is something that can be avoidedD.Fear ought to be used as our guide in our life63.The best title for this passage should be __________.A.No Pains,No GainsB.Pain and ActionsC.The Value of Fear D .The Reason Why People Fear参__：60―63 CBAC高考英语阅读理解训练习题 3Members of the working class have blue-collar jobs.They are construction workers,truck drivers,mechanics,steel workers,electricians,and the like.What makes this class differ from the lower class is,first,longer periods of employment__and therefore,more fixedes?and,second,employment in skilled or semiskilled (半熟练的) occupations,not unskilled ones.Although unemployment hits all levels of the American economy,including those of skilled and semi-skilledworkers,it is most mon at the bottom of the class structure and increasingly less mon at each level upward.They consider themselves to be respectable and hard working and they look down upon members of the "lower" class,whom they often consider to be lazy,dishonest,and too ready to exploit public assistance.Most people in the working class have at least high school education.Many have some experience of college ,though few are college graduates.Unionization has helped the working class,but a rapidly changing economy and frequent periods of high unemployment make it difficult for most of its members to be able to increase their savings greatly.Purchasing a house for people in this class is extremelydifficult,although a certain percentage may receive houses from their parents.(Home-owning rises with social class.)A greater number of the members of the working class take relatively little satisfaction in their jobs,because much of their work is ordinary and boring.As a result,many seek their main satisfaction in recreational ( 娱乐的) activities.Many members of this class would like to earn enough money to leave their jobs and start their own businesses,though few make it.Many place their expectations on their children,hoping that they at least will rise in the ladder of success,American style.1.Which of the following is true about the working class.?A.They are often employed as skilled and semi-skilled workers.B.They are often offered jobs with high es.C.They are often considered lazy and dishonest.D.They are often exploited by the public.2.The underlined word “hit” (paragraph 1 ) r oughly means .A.strike with a blowB.have bad effects onC.break up3.Most people in the working class .A.have difficulty increasing their savings greatlyB.have at least some experience of collegeC.receive houses from their parentsD.buy houses by themselves4.Many members from the working class are not satisfied with their jobs because .A.they could not rise in the ladder of successB.they are not interested in their jobsC.they could not earn much moneyD.they are not their own bosses答案1.A2.B3.A4.B。

定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校2014高考英语阅读理解全程基础训练（23）及答案阅读理解-------B (2013·北京，B)Tail SpinTwo dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park. The smaller dolphin, Grace, shows off a few of her tricks, turning around and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thing about her, however, is that she's even swimming at all. She doesn't have a tail.Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap. When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005, she was fighting for her life. “ Is she going to make it？” Her trainer, Abbey Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make it—but her tail didn't. She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.Over the past six years, she has learned to swim without her tail. Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down. Grace taught herself to move another way—like a fish! She pushes herself forward through the water by moving her peduncle from side to side. The movements put harmful pressure on Grace's backbone. So a company offered to create a manmade tail for her. The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn't hurt her. The first time Grace wore the artificial tail, she soon shook it off and let it sink to the bottom of the pool. Now, she is still learning to use the tail. Some days she wears it for an hour at a time, others not at all. “The new tail isn't necessary for her to feel comfortable，” says Stone, “but it helps to keep that range of motion (动作) and build muscles (肌肉)．”Now, the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending. This month, Grace will star in Dolphin Tale, a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery. Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie. Many people travel from near and far to meet her. Seeing Grace swim with her manmade tail gives people so much courage.文章大意：本文为一篇记叙文，属励志类文章。

The 1920s was a decade of wealth, decadence(堕落) and social changes. They were known as the Roaring Twenties, and the best place to experience this exciting time was New York City. But what was it really like?ProhibitionIn 1919, a new law in the US known as Prohibition made it illegal to buy and sell alcohol. But Prohibition didn’t stop people drinking; it just drove the sale of strong alcoholic drink underground. Bootleggers(走私贩) waited off the coast of New York after dark and brought illegal alcohol into the city.JazzJazz was the music of New York in the 1920s. In fact, the decade is called Jazz Age. The best place to listen to this new form of music was the Cotton Club in Harlem. All the great jazz musicians played at the Cotton Club, including Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie and DukeＥllington. Also, in 1942 George Gersgwin composed the jazz---influenced Rhapsody in Blue. The piece has been called “a musical portrait of New York” and was used by Woody Allen in his film Manhattan.Art DecoArt Deco was the most popular style of the 1920s, with bright colors and geometric designs; it can be seen in the art, architecture and inside designs of the period. New York is full of Art Deco buildings, but the most famous ones are the Chrysler Building (built between 1928 and 1930) and the Empire State Building (built between 1930 and 1931). The Great DepressionOn 29th October, 1929, the Roaring Twenties came to a dramatic end. On that day (known as “Black Tuesday”), the US stock market crashed, causing the Great Depression. The economic downturn lasted ten years and affected most of the Western world. Unemployment in America reached 25% and the country di dn’t recover until after World War II.5.

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Standing desks have become common across Silicon Valley, offering health benefits to those willing to work on their feet. However, due to their high price, they have failed to catch on until now. Recently, Ikea has brought out Bekant convertible(可变换的) standing desk that can become a normal desk at the touch of a button. The $500 adjustable desk can transform from a standard desk to a standing one, and Ikea hopes it could make the standing desk mainstream.Experts say that changing from a seated to a standing desk can improve productivity. Similar desks have become a common sight at tech firms such as Google, where some employees have even installed treadmill (跑步机) and bicycle desks.The desk is not the first "convertible" on the market. As early as 2013, Stir Kinect brought out an adjustable desk. The $3,890 Stir Kinect desk has a motor to raise and lower itself, changing it into a standing desk or a traditional desk. The desk can even be programmed to move up and down slightly, making it appear to take a gentle breath to remind the user to change their positions. To move between sitting and standing positions, owners simply double tap on the screen. The desk can learn the user's preferences over time and suggest the best seating position. The Stir Kinect desk was created by a team of ex-Apple and Disney engineers. It has a built-in touch screen to control and track movement, and can tell users exactly how many calories they burn by standing during their working day. It also has devices containing power points and USB ports for charging phones, to keep cables hidden."Ikea's height-adjustable desk is great for opening up the lower end of the market, " said JP Labrosse, founder and CEO of Stir.（1）What is the text mainly about?A. Ikea has brought out an adjustable standing desk.B. Silicon Valley offered health benefits to officials.C. Google formed their tech firms to design bicycle desks.D. The Stir Kinect desk will become mainstream in the market.（2）Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Before Bekant desk, similar adjustable desks have been widely used.B. The seated desks will take the place of the standing desks in the future.C. Compared to the Stir Kinect desk, the Bekant desk is much cheaper.D. The adjustable desks were designed by the Apple and Disney Company.（3）The Stir Kinect desk______.A. can breathe in and breathe out by pressing the button onceB. can charge phones by using a device containing power pointC. can tell you how many calories you need for a walkD. can advise you to do more exercise at a proper time（4）What can we infer from the last sentence given by JP Labrosse?A. Ikea's adjustable desk will be popular with average people.B. Ikea will have to sell furniture at a lower price in the future.C. This height adjustable table can only be found in Ikea.D. It is not necessary for Ikea to open up the market at all.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）B（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，站立式办公桌在美国硅谷已经比较常见，宜家近日推出了一款名为BEKANT的可调节的站立式办公桌，这种桌子对愿意站立式工作的人健康有益。

2021高考英语阅读明白得基础全程训练（1）及答案阅读明白得About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier，only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps，after all，it is safer to be driven by a woman.There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red，orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”．These help us see in a bright day and tell the difference between colors. The re are also millions of “rods”，but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but no color. Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes(蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects，but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day，and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.60. This passage is mainly about ________.A. color and its surprising effectsB. women being luckier than menC. danger caused by color blindnessD. color blindness61. According to the passage，with the help of the “cones”，we can ________.A. tell different colorsB. see in weak lightC. tell different shapesD. tell orange from yellow62. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?A. Women are more careful.B. There are fewer colorblind women.C. Women are fonder of driving than men.D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.参考答案60----D A BAOne of the worst feelings you have as a professional athlete is the feeling after losing a game to a team that you should have beaten. That happened last night against the lowly Boston Celtics. They had only won 13 games the whole year and were really struggling. We had just come off a very good win against the Orlando Magic on the road and were feeling good about ourselves.The day did not start out good for us when we learned that T-Mac was going to miss the game with the flu. When you lose your best players (Yao, T-Mac) everyone must play a little harder and do a little bit more on the floor. We inserted Bonzi Wells into the lineup (he was the only one to have a good game for us), in place of T-Mac.It was a nasty game. We are usually one of the best three point shooting teamsin the NBA and we only made 1 of 22 three point shots!I have never seen that happen. Never! Rafer Alston, Luther Head, and me combined to shoot 5 of 33 from the field. Ouch! You aren't going to win too many games like that. Even as poorly as we shot the ball, we STILL had a chance to win the game in the fourth quarter but failed to make the winning plays that you must make to leave the floor victorious.In the locker room after the game, everybody felt terrible. When we play a bad game, we feel that we let our teammates down. There is a bad feeling in the pit of your stomach when you leave the gym and you just want to go home and not talk to anyone. It is a terrible feeling, but it is a feeling that makes you want to try harder and do better the next time.I'll talk to you guys later.Shane1. What is the passage mainly about?A. T o blame the team for losing the game.B. To tell the readers about the feeling after losing the gameC. T o explain why they played poorly in the game.D. T o blame Yao Ming and T—Mac for being absent from the game.答案解析：答案为B。

2014高考英语阅读理解基础全程训练（18）及答案较难题目特训：科普知识类In the long discussion of water on the Moon, a new study contradicts (与……相矛盾) some recent reports that say the Moon had water at the time of its formation.A group of researchers reports in the journal Science that when the Moon was created, some 4. 5 billion years ago, there was not much hydrogen (氢气) on it, and therefore no water.The researchers surveyed and evaluated this by analyzing chlorine isotopes found in lunar rock samples from Apollo missions. The range of chlorine (氯) isotopes in lunar samples was 25 times that found in samples from Earth.“If the Moon had significant levels of hydrogen, as Earth did, this range would have been far less,” said Zachary D. Sharp, a scientist in the Department of Earth and P lanetary Sciences and the study’s lead author.“The chlorine would have stuck together with hydrogen, forming compounds like hydrogen chloride, and escaped from the Moon’s surface,”he said. The abundance of chlorine indicates a lack of hydrogen and water.“The amount of water on the Moon was way too low for life to have ever have possibly have existed there,” he said.Most scientists believe the Moon was formed when a large object struck Earth, breaking off a chunk (a vast piece) that has since orbited Earth.On Earth, goes one theory, water was released as steam from molten basalts (玄武岩) over time, eventually forming bodies of water.“An understanding of whether the Moon was dry or wet will help us understand how water appeared on Earth,” Dr. Sharp sai d.1. A new study indicates that on the moon.A. there is plenty of waterB. water is unlikely to existC. water existed in the pastD. there is a little water now2.

What does the underlined word “this” stand for in the second paragraph?A. Neither hydrogen nor water on the Moon.B. Too much chlorine isotopes on the Moon.C. Not being much hydrogen, no water on the Moon.D. More chlorine exists on the Moon than Earth.4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Zachary D. Sharp, a scientist of New Mexico was in charge of the new study.B. Chlorine isotopes are 25 times in lunar larger than Earth.C. The more abundant chloride, the shorter hydrogen and water.D. The new study is beneficial to understand how water appeared on Earth.5. What can we learn from the passage?A. There are enough water on the Earth.B. Hydrogen chloride easily escaped from the Moon’s surface.C. The Earth had significant levels of hydrogen.D. Water on the Earth is directly from molten basalts.【参考答案】8. BBCBC阅读理解-----ALONDON — Britain awoke on Easter Monday to a period of mourning for the Queen Mother, who died over the weekend after a life spanning a century of noisy and evident change. The 101-year-old royal matriarch died in her sleep last Saturday with Queen Elizabeth, her elder and only surviving daughter, at her bedside. For a woman who was one of the best-known figures in Britain for more than 80 years — from the era of tinted portraits on tin biscuit boxes and cigarette cards to the age of the Internet, the Queen Mother remained an enigmatic(不可思议的) and elusive(躲避的) figure.She achieved such a respect through aeons(永世, 亿万年) of, first, fawning and, later, intrusive media fascination, by remaining almost entirely silent. Her private thoughts were never paraded(炫耀) in public. What the public saw was a charming and benign elderly lady, adept at winning the admiration of press photographers, whom she always favoured with a particular smile.CHINA’s third unmanned spacecraft, Shenzhou Ⅲ, landed safel y in central Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Monday afternoon, after orbiting the earth 108 times in slightly less than a week.

Take my family's last vacation. It was my sixyearold son's winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York, so I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my ninemonthold and took off for home.The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight.

I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.文章大意：本文记叙了作者想尽一切办法省钱。

2020年高考英语阅读理解100篇实战训练【名师精选全国真题，值得下载练习】高考英语阅读训练（001）You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hittingone another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses h ave to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls tool1. Stuntmen are those who ______.A. often dress up as actorsB. prefer to lead dangerous livesC. often perform seemingly dangerous actionsD. often fight each other for their lives2. Stuntmen earn their living by ______.A. playing their dirty tricksB. selling their special skillsC.jumping out of high windowsD. jumping from fast moving trains3. When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______.A.he needs little protectionB. he will be covered with a mattressC.his life is endangeredD. his safety is generally all right4. Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance?A. Strength.B. Exactness.C. Speed.D. Carefulness.5. What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntman?A.Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.B.The percentage of serious accidents is high.C.Parachutes must be of good quality.D. The cliff is too high.KEY: 1- 5 CBDBA高考英语阅读训练（002）Activity which was almost unknown to the learned in the early days of the history, while during the fifteenth century the term "reading" undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become popular.One should be careful, however, of supposing that silent reading came about simply because r eading aloud is distraction (分散注意力) to others. Examination of reasons connected with the historical development of silent reading shows that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.The last century saw a gradual increase in literacy (读写能力) and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of listeners dropped, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the popularity of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, trains and offices, where reading aloud would disturb other readers in a way.Towards the end of the century there was still heated argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its advantages, the媒介) old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media (on the one hand and by books and magazines for a specialized readership on the other.By the end of the century students were being advised to have some new ideas of books and to use skills in reading them which were not proper, if not impossible, forthe oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological developments in the century had greatly changed what the term "reading" referred to.1. Why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth century?A. Because silent reading had not been discovered.B. Because there were few places for private reading.C. Because few people could read for themselves.D. Because people depended on reading for enjoyment.2. The development of silent reading during the nineteenth century showed .A. a change in the position of literate peopleB. a change in the nature of readingC. an increase in the number of booksD. an increase in the average age of readers3. Educationalists are still arguing about _________.A. the importance of silent readingB. the amount of information provided by books and newspapersC. the effects of reading on healthD. the value of different types of reading material4. What is the writer of this passage attempting to do?A. To explain how present day reading habits developed.B. To change people's way to read.C. To show how reading methods have improved.D. To encourage the growth of reading.KEY: 1-4 CBDA高考英语阅读训练（003）In some ways, the United States has made some progress. Fires no longer destroy 18,000 buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, or kill half a town of2,400 people, as they did the same night in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. Other than the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire in Kentucky in 1977, it has been four decades s ince more than 100 Americans died in a fire.But even with such successes, the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology, but the indifference(无所谓) of a country that just will not take fires seriously enough.American fire departments are some of the world's fastest and best-equipped. They have to be. The United States has twice Japan's population, and 40 times as many fires. It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them. And American fire-safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at children, who die in large numbers in fires but who, against popular beliefs, start very few of them.Experts say the error is an opinion that fires are not really anyone's fault. That is not so in other countries, where both public education and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime(罪行). Japan has many wood houses; of the 48 fires in world history that burned more than 10,000 buildings, Japan has had 27. Punishment for causing a big fire can be as severe as life imprisonment.In the United States, most education dollars are spent in elementary schools. But, the lessons are aimed at too limited a number of people; just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with matches.The United States continues to depend more on technology than laws or social pressure. There are smoke detectors in 85 percent of all homes. Some local building laws now require home sprinklers (喷水装置). New heaters and irons shut themselves off if they are tipped.1. The reason why so many Americans die in fires is that _____.A. they took no interest in new technologyB. they did not pay great attention to preventing firesC. they showed indifference to fighting firesD. they did not spend enough money on fire equipment2. It can be inferred from the passage that______.A. fire safety lessons should not be aimed only at American childrenB. American children have not received enough education of fire safety lessonsC. Japan is better equipped with fire equipment than the United StatesD. America's large population leads to more fires3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. There has been no great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that leads to high death rate.B. There have been several great fires in the USA in recent 40 years that lead to high death rate.C. There has been only one great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that led to high death rate.D. The fire in Kentucky in 1977 made only a few people killed.KEY: BAC高考英语阅读训练（004）Nuclear power's(核能的) danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be described in one word; radiation(辐射).Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected (探测) by human senses. It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells (细胞) in important organs (器官). But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason f or some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治疗) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.1. According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in __________.A. nuclear mysteryB. radiation detectionC. radiation levelD. nuclear radiation2. Radiation can lead to serious results even at the lowest level ________.A. when it kills few cellsB. if it damages few cellsC. though the damaged cells can repair themselvesD. unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves3. Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can _____.A. kill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediatelyB. damage cells which may grow into cancer years laterC. affect the healthy growth of our younger generationD. lead to all of the above results4. Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?A. The importance of protection from radiation cannot be overemphasized (过分强调).B. The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.C. Cancer is mainly caused by radiation.D. Radiation can hurt those who do not know about its danger.KEY: 1- 4 DBDA高考英语阅读训练（005）Today is the date of that afternoon in April a year ago when I first saw the strange and attractive doll（玩具娃娃）in the window of Abe Sheftel's toy shop on Third Avenue near Fifteenth Street, just around the corner from my office, where the plate on the door reads. Dr Samuel Amory. I remember just how it was that day: the first sign of spring floated across the East River, mixing with the soft - coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighbourhood. As I turned the corner on my way to work and came to Sheftel's, I was made once more known of the poor collection of toys in the dusty window, and I remembered the coming birthday of a small niece of mine in Cleveland, to whom I was in the habit of sending small gifts. Therefore, I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything suitable, and looked at the collection of unattractive objects--a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellowed envelopes, and advertisements for soft - drinks. And thus it was that my eyes finally came to rest upon the doll stored away in one corner, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, due to the shadows and the film of dust through whichI was looking, but I was sure that a deep impression had been made upon me as though I had run into a person, as one does sometimes with a stranger, with whose personality one is deeply impressed.1. What made an impression on the author?A. The doll's unusual face.B. The collection of toys.C. A stranger he met at the store.D. The beauty and size of the doll.2. Why does the author mention his niece?A. She likes dolls.B. The doll looks like her.C. She lives near Sheftel's.D. He was looking for a gift for her.3. Why did the writer go past Sheftel's?A. He was on his way to school.B. He was looking for a present for his niece.C. He wanted to buy some envelopes.D. None of the above is right.4. The story takes place in the ______.A. early summerB. early springC. midsummerD. late springKEY: 1-5 ADDB高考英语阅读训练（006）Technology is the application (应用)of knowledge to production. Thanks to modern technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force. New machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expense while increasing overall output. This has meant more production and a higher standard of living. For most of us in America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets. However, technology has also increased the amount of food available (有用的)to us, by means of modern farming machinery and animalbreeding techniques, and has extended our life span via()medical technology.Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? In large measure the answer depends on technology and our ability to use it widely. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The advancement of technology depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics (统计) show that the united States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually(每年) into such efforts. So while we are running out of some scarce resources (少的资源) we may well find technological substitutes (代用品) for many of them through our research programs.Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of production (land, labor and capital) are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills on techniques in medicine, people will start developing new technology to meet those needs. As equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us maintain our standard of living.1. What is the best title for the passage?A. The definition of technologyB. Modern technologyC.

Maybe youhave seen pictures of these“fireworks”of nature. Sometimes when a volcano erupts, a very large wall of melted rock moves down the side of a mountain. It looks like avolcanoes explode, throwing the melted rock and“river of tire.”Sometimesashes(灰)high into the air. But where does this melted rock come from?The earth is made up of many layers(层). The top layer that we see is called thecrust. Under the crust are many layers of hard rock. But far, far beneath the crustwhose rock is so hot, that it is soft. In some places it even melts. The melted rock iscalled magma. Sometimes the magma breaks o ut to the surface through cracks(爆裂声)in the crust. These cracks are volcanoes.Most people think of mountains when they think of volcanoes. But not every mountain is a volcano. A volcano is simply the opening in the earth from which themagma escapes. T he hot magma, or lava as it is called, cols and builds up on thesurface of the earth. Over thousands of years, this pile of cooled lava can grow to bevery, very big.

Personally, Icould do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephoneis changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way thatmore roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm andthen spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school withall day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my Crystal Johnstone. S he had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 betweenlife,”saysOtley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought theambulance(救护车) to her rescue.Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of HabaDeutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of dayto ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.Point 4 The telephone separates u s. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “Weworked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to gethis number. We were so near——but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!” Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we cantalk to several complete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地) on chat lines (at least mydaughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We-walking.

Theschools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it was all right to beparents who take a let-alone policy.

2014高考英语阅读理解基础全程训练（18）及答案较难题目特训：科普知识类In the long discussion of water on the Moon, a new study contradicts (与……相矛盾) some recent reports that say the Moon had water at the time of its formation.A group of researchers reports in the journal Science that when the Moon was created, some 4. 5 billion years ago, there was not much hydrogen (氢气) on it, and therefore no water.The researchers surveyed and evaluated this by analyzing chlorine isotopes found in lunar rock samples from Apollo missions. The range of chlorine (氯) isotopes in lunar samples was 25 times that found in samples from Earth.“If the Moon had significant levels of hydrogen, as Earth did, this range would have been far less,” said Zachary D. Sharp, a scientist in the Department of Earth and P lanetary Sciences and the study’s lead author.“The chlorine would have stuck together with hydrogen, forming compounds like hydrogen chloride, and escaped from the Moon’s surface,”he said. The abundance of chlorine indicates a lack of hydrogen and water.“The amount of water on the Moon was way too low for life to have ever have possibly have existed there,” he said.Most scientists believe the Moon was formed when a large object struck Earth, breaking off a chunk (a vast piece) that has since orbited Earth.On Earth, goes one theory, water was released as steam from molten basalts (玄武岩) over time, eventually forming bodies of water.“An understanding of whether the Moon was dry or wet will help us understand how water appeared on Earth,” Dr. Sharp sa id.1.

Sharp, a scientist of New Mexico was in charge of the new study.B. Chlorine isotopes are 25 times in lunar larger than Earth.C. The more abundant chloride, the shorter hydrogen and water.D. The new study is beneficial to understand how water appeared on Earth.5. What can we learn from the passage?A. There are enough water on the Earth.B. Hydrogen chloride easily escaped from the Moon’s surface.C. The Earth had significant levels of hydrogen.D. Water on the Earth is directly from molten basalts.【参考答案】8. BBCBC阅读理解-----ALONDON — Britain awoke on Easter Monday to a period of mourning for the Queen Mother, who died over the weekend after a life spanning a century of noisy and evident change. The 101-year-old royal matriarch died in her sleep last Saturday with Queen Elizabeth, her elder and only surviving daughter, at her bedside. For a woman who was one of the best-known figures in Britain for more than 80 years — from the era of tinted portraits on tin biscuit boxes and cigarette cards to the age of the Internet, the Queen Mother remained an enigmatic(不可思议的) and elusive(躲避的) figure.She achieved such a respect through aeons(永世, 亿万年) of, first, fawning and, later, intrusive media fascination, by remaining almost entirely silent. Her private thoughts were never paraded(炫耀) in public. What the public saw was a charming and benign elderly lady, adept at winning the admiration of press photographers, whom she always favoured with a particular smile.CHINA’s third unmanned spacecraft, Shenzhou Ⅲ, landed sa fely in central Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Monday afternoon, after orbiting the earth 108 times in slightly less than a week. The craft, which lifted off from Jiuquan in Gansu Provincelast Monday night, landed after successfully conducting a chain of flight and scientific experiments over a period of 162 hours.A powerful earthquake jolted Taiwan, killing five construction workers, authorities(官方) said. Over 200 injuries ware reported across the island, mostly minor, as a result of Sunday’s 7.5-magnitude quake. The quake was centred off Hualien, 180 kilometres east of Taipei. It struck at 2:53 pm and lasted for nearly a minute.1.Which of the following statements is true according to the news?A. The Queen Mother died on Easter Monday alone.B.
