A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins“ Twinkle, twinkle, little star〞 and remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows. Once we have learned something, learning over and over again increases the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and make ourselves remember words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star〞 and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception (例外) to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may lead to a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he may soon forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.41. What is the main idea of paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are easy to remember.42. The author explains the law of overlearning by ______.A. showing research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples43. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is ______.A. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with maths problemsD. a basic step towards future studies44. What is the author’s opinion on crammin g?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. It’s helpful only in a limited way.C. It’s possible to result in poor memory.D. It can increase stdents’ interestBSu Hua is studying at Cambridge, UKIntroductionA lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps. Basic SecurityDo not leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and take them with you, for example lights and saddles(车座).LocksGet a good lock. There are many different types in the shop. Buy one that has been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop.MarkingSecurity marking your bike can act as a deterrent(威慑) to a thief. It can also help the police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle. RegistrationThere are a number of companies who will mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details on their computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to contact you.FinallyKeep a record of the bicycle yourself: its make, model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it, this will prove the bicycle belongs to you.45. Which part of the article gives you information on how to lock up your bicycle when you leave it?A. LocksB. MarkingC. RegistrationD. Basic Security46.

The main purpose of this article is _____________.A. to tell you what to do if your bicycle is stolenB. to suggest ways of keeping your bicycle safeC. to give you advice on where to buy a good lockD. to say why you shouldn’t keep your bicycle in a quiet placeCFriends play a very important part in everyone’s life. Friendship usually develops during childhood. New friends are made when you progress through school. Those friends that you make as a student can usually last long. Friends influence your development, maturity (成熟) and sense of responsibility. A familiar expression is “you can tell a lot about a person by knowing who his friends are.〞 Friendship is based on common interests. If you like sports, most of your friends are likely to be athletic. If you enjoy reading and shopping, most of your friends do the same. Some people call you their friends for the wrong reason. These p eople are not really friends. They are only “friends〞 on the outside, not the insidewhere it counts. They only want to be your friends if it is to their advantage. True friends are there whether you are rich or poor. It is easy to have many so-called “fri ends〞 if you are rich. By this time you should be able to separate your friends into the real or the “false〞.True friends are most special. They are also difficult to find. You can consider yourself very lucky if you have one true friend. This friend is eager to help you whenever necessary. He or she knows you would do the same for them. A true friend is someone you can talk to about any subject or problem. You and your true friend have good understanding of each other. True friends support you, take your side, and build up your confidence.49. “So-called〞 friends refer to ________ .A. fair-weather friendsB. those who want to benefit from youC. the friends who are on the surface onlyD. all of the above50. Which of the following is NOT true?A. You should tell true friends from false ones.B. True friendship is too difficult to find.C. You can share your joys and sorrows with a true friend.D. A true friend will stand by you whatever happens.51. The proper title for this article may be “ 〞.A. FriendlinessB. What friends likeC. True FriendsD. So-called FriendsDTwo Chinese living in South Africa were killed in a robbery (抢劫) on February 5, bringing the total number of Chinese killed in the country to four in less than a month.Chen Jianqing, 35, from Southeast China's FujianProvince, who ran a shop with her husband in a small town 45 kilometers away from South African capital Johannesburg, was shot dead.

号顿市安谧阳光实验学校高中英语限时阅读理解周周练（1）词数: about 290 难度: ★建议用时: 3.5 minutes On my first day in a college classroom, I felt like an overgrown child returning to civilization, after having been lost in the forest for thirty years. There I sat, old enough to be a father to most of the students in the room, yet insecure enough to be their baby brother. We were crowded elbow (肘) to elbow, listening to a professor who looked even younger than the students did. I felt uncomfortable and out of place as the professor carefully explained what she expected us to learn.As I listened, I couldn’t help but think of my own oldest daughter who was now beginning her freshman year in college, just like me. I recalled (回忆) how hard I had tried to instill (逐步培养)self-confidence in her and my other children. So why did I suddenly feel like a scared child myself? When I walked out of that classroom, I had serious doubts about my ability to make it through college. Not until late that night did my thinking change. It was a long-distance telephone call from my daughter that did the trick. She was c ertain that she’d never succeed at college. How familiar her worries sounded!In my confident parental voice, I said, “Doing your best is all the world asks.” The next day in class, those words still echoed in my head. When the professor posed (提出) a question for the class, nobody, including me, dared answer. When I looked around at the fear and uncertainty on the young faces in that room, I knew exactly what I had to do: my best. That’s all the world asks. So I raised my hand, and the professor called on me. I spoke.1.

When the author says “that did the trick”, he means ______.A. the telephone call worked to help him change his thinkingB. his daughter played a trick on him by pretending to leave collegeC. the telephone reminded him of his previous school experienceD. his daughter’s difficulties made him realize his parental responsibilities3.

However, Facebook has some disadvantages. Facebook does not let you communicate with all site members; you are limited to only those members who are in your friend list. Apart from communicating, you are also not allowed to view their information and their photos. Developers of Facebook say that it is for users’ safety.You can also bring a crowd together to communicate on Facebook, somewhat like a company opens a workplace and wants to discuss day-to-day updates as well as other things such as announcements.Another feature which Facebook brings in is the applications.

But then, nothing. There are no jobs at a time when layoffs (裁员) are spreading from industry to industry.Well, sometimes if you are faced with such a situation, the best way is to give up searching for a job. Instead, think about how you can volunteer to do something and where the work is needed. Volunteering is a good way to learn new skills, as well as keep you busy and fulfilled because you are making a contribution. Later you can use that experience to help you get a paying job.As example of the value of volunteering, I just read an article about Mary Marzano, 49, of Maplewood, New Jers ey, whose sister’s home in Galveston was destroyed by a hurricane. Mary discovered from a hotel-employee friend that the hotel threw out sheets and towels each month, so they could provide the guests with new linens (亚麻织品). Realizing that the poor people in Galveston could use the sheets and towels, she began collecting them from some local hotels and shipping dozens of boxes of sheets to the stricken area. Then, she began sending these extra linens to local charities (慈善组织).Though Mary has been doing this mission out of good will on weekends since she works as a teacher, you might do such volunteer work during the work time when you are out of work with little hope of a paid job in sight.Later, when the economy revives (复苏) and there are new job openings again, you can turn your volunteer work into a paid job.1. Why did the hotel throw out sheets and towels each month?A. Because they were too worn to be used.B. Because the hotel was stricken by a hurricane.C. Because the hotel wanted them to be recycled.D. Because they were not suitable for the guests any more.2. Mary Marzano collected the sheets and towels to .A. donate them to the people in needB. use them herselfC. sell them to charity groupsD. give them to her sister3. The author told us the story of Mary Marzano to __ .A. sing praise for a successful volunteerB. let people know about the value of volunteeringC. tell us how to do volunteer workD. describe what volunteer work is like4. From the text we can know that Mary does volunteer work to .A. learn new skillsB. make a contributionC. get prepared for her new jobD. gain more experience for her work5. The purpose of this text is to .A. tell an instructive storyB. give people encouragementC. give unemployed people a suggestionD. analyze a common problem in societyKey: 1~5 DABBCCLOZE王志峰I met Connie the day she was admitted to the hospice ward (病危监护室), where I worked as a volunteer.

She still loved romance novels (爱情小说) and movies with a good love story. As we became acquainted (熟识), she told me how disappointing it was to be 4 32 years to a man who 5 says “I love you.”“I know Bill loves me,” she said, “ 6 he never says so, or sends cards to me. I’d give 7 if he’d say‘I love you,’ but it’s just not in his 8 .”One day, I spent more of my 9 time with Bill.

高中英语阅读理解专项练习含答案（四）AEvery summer，the Serengeti plains of Africa are worth lions of wild animals begin their 1，800mile journey northwards on their annual migratory (迁移的) route.In the month of November，polar bears in their thousands cross the Canadian Arctic，as they head towards the ice sheets of Hudson Bay.The sea ice that forms every winter is the key to the bear's managing to exist，for here they hunt for seals (海豹)．The Great Bustard，one of the heaviest flying birds，migrates each year across Europe and Asia to its wintering grounds.Unluckily，these and other migratory animals are in danger from human activity.We have written several articles on climate change and the effect of rising ocean temperatures.Since 1979，ice sheets in the Arctic have gone down by 30 percent.What does this mean for polar bears？They are forced to stay on land for longer periods of time，which delays their search for food.As a result，bears today are 60 pounds lighter than what they were.Besides，smaller bears also produce weaker babies，and their chances of survival are at risk.In the plains of Africa，migratory animals like gazelles are traveling long distances for food，just to avoid falling prey (牺牲品) to humans who hunt them.In an unusual step，experts from 120 countries have agreed to protect 31 migratory mammals，fish and birds.The United Nation's 11th annual Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals(CMS)was held in Quito，Ecuador.For the first time，900 experts attended the conference，and the enthusiastic support shows the world is united in conservation (保护) efforts.What does getting on a protected list mean？Countries that have signed the agreement will be required to pass laws locally and work with other countries that fall within the animal's migratory path.Only one animal did not make the list.The African lion was rejected (拒绝) for lack of information of the countries where it lives.语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。

I couldn’t stand by myself at first, but I learned to balance and walk in casts. Mom enrolled (登记) me in dance classes to treat my feet. However, I quickly decided to try something else. I wanted to try skating.I started taking group skating lessons, but I cried before the class because going into a group frightened me.
