Despit occasional alarms, the country escaped any postwar depression and lived in a state of boom. A n economic survey of the year 1955, atypical year of the 1950’s, may be typical as illustrating the rapi d economic growth of the decade. The national output was value at 10 percent above that of 1954 (1955 output was estimated at 392 billion dollars. The production of manufacturers was about 40 percent more than it had averaged in the years immediately following World War 2. The country’s business s pent about 30billion dollars for new factories and machinery. National income available for spending was almost a third greater than it had been it had been in 1950. Consumers spent about 256 billion dollars; that is about 700 million dollars a day ,or about twenty-five million dollars every hour , all round the clock. Sixty-five million people held jobs and only a little more than two million wanted jobs but could not find them . Only agriculture complained that it was not sharing in the room. To some observers this was an ominous echo of the mid-1920’s . As farmer’s shre of their products declined , marketing costs rose. But there were , among the observers of the national economy, a few who were not as confident as the majority . Those few seemed to fear that the boom could not last and would eventually lead to the oppsite-depression.1. What is the best title of the passage?a. The Agriculatural Trends of 1950’sb. The Unemployment Rate of 1950’sc. U.S. Economy in the 50’sd. The Federal Budget of 19522. In Line 4 , the word “boom” could best be replaced by______.a. nearby explosionb. thunderous noisec. general public supportd. rapid economic growth3. It can be inferred the national from the passage that most people in the United States in 1955 viewed the national economy with an air of _________.a. confidenceb. confusionc. disappointmentd. suspicion4. Which of the following were LEAST satisfied with the national economy in the 1950’s?a. Economistsb. Frmaersc. Politiciansd. Steelworkers5. The passage states that incom available for spending in the U.S. was greater in 1955 than in 1950 . How much was it ?a. 60%b. 50%c. 33%d. 90%答案：cdabc三Women are also underrepresented in the administration and this is because there are so few women full professors. In 1985,Regent Beryl Milburn produced a report blasting the University of Texas System adminitration for not encouraging women.The University was rated among the lowest for the system.In a 1987 update ,Milburn commended the progress that was made and called for even more improvement.One of the positive results from her study was a System-wide program to inform women of available administrative jobs.College of Communication Associate Dean Patrica Witherspoon,said it isimportant that woman be flexible when it comesto relocating if they want to rise in the ranks.Although a woman may face a chilly climate on campus , many times in order for her to succeed , she must rise above the problems around her and concentrate on her work.Until women make up a greater percentage of the senior positions in the University and all academia,inequities will exist."Women need to spend their energies and time doing scholarly activities that are important here at the University." Spirduso said. "If they do that will be successful in thissystem.If they spend their time in little groups mourning the sexual discrimination that they think exists here, they are wasting valuable study time."1.According to Spirduso,women need to ____.a.produce a report on sexual discriminationb.call for further improvement in their working conditionsc.spend their energies and time fighting against sexual discriminationd.spend more time and energy doing scholarly activities2.From this passage ,we know that _____.a.there are many women full professors in the University of Texasb.women play an important part in adminitrating the Universityc.the weather on the campus is chillyd.women make up a small percentage of the senior positions in the University3.Which of the following statements is true?a.the number of women professors in the University in 1987 was greater than that of 1985b.the number of women professors in the University in 1987 was smaller than that of 1985c.the number of women professors was the same as that of 1985d.more and more women professors thought that sexual discrimination did exit in the University4.One of the positive results from Milburn's study was that _____. a.women were told to con centrate on teir workb.women were given information about available administrative jobsc.women were encouraged to take on all the administrative jobs in the Unversityd.women were encouraged to do more scholarly activities5. The title for this passage should be _______.a.The University of Texasburn's Reportc.Women Professorsd.Sexual Discrimination in Academia答案：ddabd四Today ,as in every other day of the year ,more than 3000 U.S. adlescents will smoke their first cigarette on their way to becoming regular smokers as adults. During their lifetime,it can be expected that of these 3000 about 23 will be murdered,30 will die in traffic accidents, and nearly 750 will be killed by a smoking-related disease. The number of deaths attributed to cigarette smoking outweithts all other factors, whether voluntary or involuntary, as a cause of death.Since the late 1970s, when daily smoking among high school seniors reached 30 precent , smoking rates among youth have declined . While the decline isimpressive ,several important issues must be raised.First, in the past several years,smoking rates among youth have declined very little. Second,in the late 1970s ,smoking among male high school seniors exceeded that among female by nearly 10 percent . The statistic is reversing.Third ,several recent studies have indicate high school dropouts have excessively high smoking rates, as much as 75 percent .Finally, thouth significant declines in adolescent smoking have occurred in the past decade,no definite reasons for the decline exist. Within this context,the Naional Cancer Instiute (NCI began its current effort to determine the most effecive measures to reduce smoking levesl among youth.1.According to the author, the deaths among youth are mainly caused by _____.a.traffic accidentsb.smoking-related deseasec.murderd.all of these2.Every day there are over_____high school strdents who will become regular smoker.a.75b.23c.30d.30003.By "dropout" the author means______.a.students who failed the examinationb.students who left schoolc.students who lost their wayd.students who were driven out of school4.The reason for declining adolescent smoking is that ________.a.NCI has taken effective measuresb.smoking is prevented among high school seniorsc.there are many smokers who have died of cancerd.none of these5.What is implied but not stated by the author is that ________.a.smoking rates among youth have declined very littleb.there are now more female than male smokers among high school seniorsc.high smoking rates are due to the incease in wealthd.smoking at high school are from low socio-economic backgrounds答案：bdbdb五The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health.Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat ,it has, at the same time,made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet aswell,especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is nto a new discovery. In 1945, about 35 years ago, government researchers realized that nitrates, commonly used to preserve color in meats,and other food additivies,caused cancer. Yet, thesecarcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this ,penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes,but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration(FDA has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.1.What is the best possible title of the passage?a.Drug and Foodb.Cancer and Healthc.Food and Healthd.Health and Drug2.Which of the following statements is NOT ture?a.Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasonsb.Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animalsc.Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives for over thirty-five years.d.Food may cause forty percent of cancer in world.3.How has science done something harmful to mankind?a.Because of science , diseases caused by polluted food haven been virtually eliminated.b.It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.c.Because of the application of science,some potentially harmful substances have been added to food.d.The scientists have preserved the color of meats,but not of vegetables.4.What are nitrates used for?a.They preserve flavor in packaged foods.b.They preserve the color of meats.c.They are the objects of research.d.They cause the animals to become fatter.5.The word 'carcinogenic' most nearly means '_____'. a.trouble-makingb.color-retainingc.money-makingd.cancer-causing答案：cacbd。

英语英语阅读理解题20套带答案

（英语）英语阅读理解题20套（带答案）一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Dogs were living as companions to the early settlers of North America over 10,000 years ago. The oldest domestic dogs in the Americas were thought to be around 9500 years old. Angela Perri of Durham University, UK, and her colleagues have carried out fresh radiocarbon dating on the two dog skeletons that gave this date, discovered in the prehistoric Koster site in Illinois, and found they were even older: around 10,100 years old.A third dog from another Illinois site called Stilwell II was older still, at 10,190 years old. That makes it the oldest known domesticated dog in the Americas. The team concluded that all three dogs were domesticated as they skeletons were complete and unskinned, and so hadn't been butchered for food. They had also been carefully buried, evidence they were valued by their owners. The Stilwell II dog, which probably resembled a small English settler, was under what seemed to be the floor of a living area. It is unclear why it took so long for tame dogs to arrive in the Americas, given that they were domesticated at least 14,000 years ago in Eurasia. By this time, people were already moving into North America from Siberia; there is evidence some reached Chile 18,500 years ago. Geneticists have found signs of at least three waves of migration over the following millennia. There is no evidence that domestic dogs accompanied them. “We don't know if dogs were part of the first waves of immigration to the Americas" says Luc Janssens of Ghent University in Belgium. "It could be so, but no archaeological bones have yet been found." It is "overwhelmingly probable" that some of the early settlers did bring dogs to the Americas, but they may not have had "the time or the spiritual compulsion to bury them", says Pat Shipman of Pennsylvania State University.(1)How old is the oldest known domestic dog in the Americas7A. About 9500 years.B. About 10,100 years.C. 10,190 years.D. 18,500 years.(2)The underlined word "butchered" in the fourth paragraph could be replaced by.A. killedB. boughtC. trainedD. raised(3)What is the attitude towards when tame dogs arrived in the Americas in the last three paragraphs?A. Undoubted.B. Unsure.C. Indifferent.D. Unconfident.(4)What is the main topic of this passage?A. The earliest domestic dog in the Americas.B. The first dog arriving in the Americas.C. How dogs were domesticated in the Americas.D. When the oldest dog was found in the Americas.【答案】(1) C(2)A(3)B(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了大概一万年以前就在北美成为人类伙伴的狗的种类。

高考英语阅读理解测试及答案高考英语阅读理解测试及答案201764、(1分)高考英语阅读理解【1】In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries (神秘的事物) of nature. Some ancient peoples believedthat lightning and thunder were the weapons (武器) of the gods.In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs (灯泡).The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷针). This device (装置物) protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.Modern science has discovered that one stroke (闪击) oflightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average (平均数) of one person every day.The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress. Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry?1. People once thought lightning came from ________.A. the skyB. the godsC. the earthD. nature2. According to the passage what do you think all buildings need?A. Metal fences.B.

Lightning is probably ______ to man.A. usefulB. kindC. uselessD. friendly高考英语阅读理解【2】Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are alwayscreating(创造) new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.Sometimes , however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers(汉堡包) are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham(火腿)? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came froma big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef(牛肉), they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked someround pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Suchbread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting. too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.1. According to the writer, English is .A. as old as ChineseB. older than GermanC. not so old as ChineseD. very difficult to learn2.

Passage 1You are unique. There are billion people in the world but no other person is exactly like you. Besides people, there are millions of other living things. Every living thing is different from each other. Every living thing is a unique combination of characteristics.你是独一无二的。

世界上有65亿人，但没有一个人和你完全一样。

除了人，还有成千上万的其他生物。

每种生物相互都是不同的。

每种生物都是个性的独特组合。

Why is each living thing unique Where do its characteristics come from Do people receive characteristics from their mothers and fathers How The work of Gregor Mendel was especially important to help us to answer these questions.为什么每种生物都是独一无二的它的个性来自哪里人类的个性是来自父母吗又是怎样来的格雷戈·门德尔（奥地利遗传学家）所从事的工作对于我们回答这些问题尤其重要。

Mendel studied plants, especially pea plants. In some way they were all the same. For example, they all had flowers. But some had red flowers, and others had white flowers. Some were tall, others were short. Mendel was especially interested in the differences. He wondered why each plant was of certain color, shape, size. He experimented with thousands of pea plants, with a careful record. And he discovered some interesting things. He mated different pea plants. First, he mated a red flower plant with a white flower plant. All of the offspring plants had red flowers. Mendel was curious about what happened to the white. Then he mated two of the offspring plants. Every time he did this, they produced three red plants and one white plant. There was the white again. So Mendel knew that even red plants somehow passed on whiteness. Mendel decided that pea plantscarried factors, and the parents passed these factors onto their offspring.门德尔研究植物，尤其是豆科植物。

在某种程度上，植物都是一样的。

例如，它们都有叶子。

但有的开红花，有的却开白花。

有的高有的矮。

门德尔对这些差异尤其感兴趣。

他想知道为什么每种植物都有特定的颜色、形状、大小。

他对成千上万棵豆科植物进行实验，并做仔细记录。

他发现了一些有趣的东西。

他对不同的豆科植物进行嫁接。

首先，他把一棵红花植物嫁接到白花植物上，它们的后代是开红花。

白色哪里去了门德尔感到很好奇。

然后他把这种后代植物相互再嫁接。

每次结果都是产生了三棵开红花的植物和一棵开白花的植物。

又有白色的了。

因此门德尔得出结论，即便开红花的植物也会遗传白色。

门德尔断定豆科植物带有某些因子，父母将这些因子遗传给后代。

Today we call these factors genes. Genes are tiny pieces of matter. They carry information from parents to offspring. Now we know that every person is unique and one reason for this is that every person is a unique combination of genes.今天我们将这些因子称为基因。

基因是非常小的物质。

它们把父母的信息传递给后代。

现在我们知道，之所以每个人都是独一无二的，原因之一就是每个人都是基因的独特组合。

Passage 2No other author in American literature is better known or more loved than Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Born in Missouri in 1835, he grew up on the banks of the Mississippi River and became a riverboat pilot. when he was 21 years old. So he adopted the pen name of "Mark Twain", which was derived from a phrase meaning "two fathoms deep" used by the boatmen on the Mississippi as they measured the depth of the river. The riverenvironment inspired the two novels which brought him his greatest fame: "Tom Sawyer” and "Huckleberry Finn". Another book, "Life on the Mississippi", told of his adventures on the river boats of that period.在美国文学史上没有哪个作家比塞缪尔·朗赫恩·克莱门斯更出名或更令人喜爱。

他1835年生于密苏里州，他在密西西比河畔长大，21岁就成了河船领航员。

因此他采用了笔名“马克·吐温”，这是来自船员在密西西比河测量水深时所用的一个词，意为“水深两浔”。

河边的环境激发他创作了两部小说：《汤姆·索亚历险记》和《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》，使他一夜成名。

另一本书《密西西比河上的生活》讲述了那个时期他在船上的冒险经历。

It wa s during the Civil War that Mark Twain’s life as a writer started. At that time he was working as a newspaper man in Nevada and California. His short story, “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaberas County” was an immediate success and his new career began. "A Million Pond Note" written in 1893 was another well-known short story.马克·吐温作为作家的生涯是在美国内战期间开始的。

当时他在内华达州和加利福尼亚当一名新闻记者。

他的短篇小说《卡拉维拉斯县驰名的跳蛙》很快就取得了成功，他的新的生涯就此开始。

1893年写的《百万英镑钞票》是另一著名的短篇小说。

In 1870, Mark Twain married Olivia Langdon. He had fallen in love with her picture even before he met her. According to his biographer, his wife had a great influence on Twain’s later books.1870年，马克·吐温和欧丽维亚·兰登结婚。

他甚至在还未见过她时就爱上了她的照片。

他的传记作者认为，他的妻子对他晚期的作品有很大的影响。

Mark Twain was also a very successful lecturer. His travels around the country giving talks on a variety of subjects helped make him famous and increased the sale of his books.马克·吐温还是个非常成功的演讲家。

他周游全国，作有关各种话题的演讲，这使他名声大扬，也增加了他书的销售量。

"Tom Sawyer" and “Huckleberry Finn” are considered Twain’s best works. They are marked by humor and satire and provide his readers with an excellent picture of his era. His last book was completed in 1909, one year before his death. He was 74 years old.《汤姆·索亚历险记》和《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》被认为是马克·吐温最好的作品。
