Reading Comprehension(阅读理解)
主题句就是第一句。其他的句子只是细节， 都是解释、说明第一句的。
四、正确处理阅读中出现的生词，提高阅读 速度 个别生词不会影响我们对全文的理解， 而且大纲中也允许有3％左右的生词。对有 些与答题无关的生词一般可以忽略过去。 如果有个别生词影响了对全篇的理解和做 题，就需要去猜测词义。
一般可以有两种方法： 第一是根据构词法判断词义。这种方法需 要认识大量的词根，否则一切猜测都无从谈 起。 第二种是根据与上下文的关系推测其词义， 生词不是孤立的、封闭的，它所出现于其中 的句子、段落都会提供很多的暗示和线索， 其中最常见的上下文暗示或线索有以下五种：

The increase in the numbers of married women employed outside the home in the twentieth century had less to do with the mechanization of housework and an increase in leisure time for these women than it did with their own economic necessity and with high marriage rates that shrank the available pool of single women workers，previously，in many cases，the only women employers would hire.

Reading Skill: Drawing Inferences
An inference is an idea that the speakers or writers do not state openly, but intend you to understand anyway.Through their words, they imply something. From their words, you infer something. in fact, the act of speaking or writing seldom avoids inference completely. Very seldom are we presented with surface facts only: almost automatically, we look behind, under, or ahead of the simple facts. We practice inference constantly in our daily lives.
2.antibiotic resistance
Antibiotic resistance is a type ofdrug resistancewhere amicroorganismis able to survive exposure to anantibiotic.Genescan betransferred between bacteria in a horizontalfashion byconjugation,transduction, ortransformation. Thus a gene for antibiotic resistance which had evolved vianatural selectionmay be shared. Evolutionary stress such as exposure to antibiotics then selects for the antibiotic resistant trait. Many antibiotic resistance genes reside onplasmids, facilitating their transfer. If a bacterium carries several resistance genes, it is called multiresistant or, informally, a superbug or super bacterium.
如何上高中英语Reading部分
如何上高中英语Ｒｅａｄｉｎｇ部分高中英语Reading部分既体现阅读技巧又体现本单元的主要语言点,既可作快速阅读理解训练又可作精读讲解,以何种形式上好Reading部分正是每位高中英语教师要去反复研究、不断创新的课题。
高中英语的课本结构分为Warming-up(热身)、Listening(听力)、Speaking(说)、Reading(阅读)、Word study(单词学习)、Grammar(语法)、Integrating Skill(综合技巧)和Writing(写作)。
在教参和众多教辅书上,把Warming-up、Listening、Speaking列为第一课时,Reading列为第二课时,Word Study、Grammar 列为第三课时,Integrating Skills、Writing列为第四课时,第五、第六课时为练习课。
在青年教师赛课或示范课、汇报课等公开课中,较多采用Reading部分为内容,因为这部分内容既体现阅读技巧又体现本单元的主要语言点,既可作快速阅读理解训练又可作精读讲解,以何种形式上好Reading部分正是每位高中英语教师要去反复研究、不断创新的课题。
在我自己的教学以及向其他同事学习的过程中,发现Reading部分一般分两节上完:第一节为快速阅读训练;第二节为讲解语言点。
一、快速阅读训练在青年教师赛课或示范课、汇报课等公开课中,通常使用第一节内容——突出阅读训练。
因为阅读理解课文便于用全英语上课,又利于使用一定的教具和多媒体辅助,这样显得课堂形式多样、丰富多彩、气氛活跃。
如:上高一(上册)Unit Weastern Mannars时用多媒体上课,可以在屏幕上呈现西方餐桌上的摆设,以直观、生动性引起学生的兴趣,激发学生的积极性,也直奔主题。
学生通过对所呈现的图片进行讨论,又达到练习口语的目的。

Reading Comprehension: 15篇（附答案）Directions: Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one you think is the best answer.Passage 1 CCBCDAfter practising as a surgeon for several years, Dr. Ginoux decided to apply for membership in the American College of Surgeons (美国外科医生学会), a highly selective and distinguished professional organization.As part of the application procedure (手续), Dr. Ginoux was asked to prepare a list of all the operations performed in the previous seven years. Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began to feel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best techniques in that case? Maybe, in this case, she should have… Would the doctors on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to rely completely on her own judgment? For the first time, Dr. Ginoux felt lonely and isolated.The longer Dr. Ginoux worked on the application forms, the more depressed she became. As hope faded, she wondered if a “country doctor” had a realistic chance of being accepted by the American College of Surgeons.1. Dr. Ginoux was working inA. a large city.B. the American College of Surgeons.C. an area far from any big city.D. a selective organization.2.

When filling the forms, Dr. Ginoux felt depressed becauseA. she didn’t perform enough operations.B. some operations were unsuccessful.C. she didn’t g et advice from the selection committee.D. she was doubtful about her operations.Passage 2 ADBDDAfter 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(肌肉) 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 tell us that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This period of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you can’t fall asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believed that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!1. A good title for this passage is ________.A. SleepB. Good HealthC. DreamsD. Work and Rest2. The word “drowsy” in the last paragraph means _________.A. sickB. stand upC. awakeD. a little sleepy3. This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you______.A. dream more oftenB. have poor healthC. nervousD. breathe quickly4. During REM, ________________.A. your eyes move quicklyB. you dreamC. you are restlessD. both A and B5. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is __________.A. approximately six hoursB. around ten hoursC. about eight hoursD. not stated herePassage 3 CACBCTokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time.In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast when they can. But in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different when one wants to walk.At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London's Oxford Street. But the streets near Ginza in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35,000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty.Most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short.In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now. instead, I am surprised at myself: I must go there next year on business. I know I hate the overcrowded city. But I feel like a man who is returning to his long-lost love.1. Tokyo is different from London in that ____________.A. it has a smaller populationB. it is an international cityC. it is more difficult to go somewhere on foot in TokyoD. its people are friendlier and more polite.2. What time does the writer think is the worst time to go into the street?A. When the night-clubs are closing.B. At 8 o'clock in the morning.C. When the train is overcrowded.D. At 11:30 a.m.3. What does the writer say about Japanese trains?A. There are not enough trains.B. They are very nice and comfortable.C. They leave and arrive at the right time.D. They often run behind schedule.4. From the writer's observation, we can see that fires break out in Tokyo _______.A. occasionally.B. quite frequentlyC. not very oftenD. twice a day5. The writer hates Tokyo mainly because the city _________.A. is dirty and the people are impoliteB. has been seriously pollutedC. is crowded and noisyD. is not modern enoughPassage 4 DCCCBEvery ten years there is a national census(人口普查) to count the number of people. The Census Office asks every household to answer questions on a census form. The census counts people by the kind of housing they live in, the country in which they were born, and the kind of job they do and how they travel to work. Census results are used by a great many people and areavailable to everyone in many ways.For example, in order to work out present and future needs we must know how people are housed now, and the sizes and ages of their families. For hospitals, schools and other local services, the size of annual grants(拨款) made by the Government to these services depends largely on the numbers and needs of people in the area.Many of the figures come from the census. In order to work out future spending for pensions (养老金), we need to know people's ages, how many are men and how many are women, whether they are single or married, and the size of the family. The census shows how many people have moved from one area to another and how the local workforce is changing. This information is used when factories, offices, shops, public transport and places for leisure are being planned. The census is taken in order to provide figures about the nation as a whole. It does not give information about any named person, family or household. Names and addresses are needed to take the census accurately, but they are not fed into the computer. After the census, the forms are locked away and will not be released to anyone outside the Census Office for 100 years. The answers you give on your census form will be treated secretly. No one outside the Census Office will see your completed form - but if you refuse to complete your form properly, you may be taken to court and the form could be produced as evidence. Everyone working on the census is required to keep it secret and can be accused if he or she improperly reveals information.1. It is necessary to know what sort of housing conditions people have in order to plan ________.A) the sizes and ages of familiesB) the sizes and ages of housesC) how many presents will be neededD) how many houses need to be built2. The census shows the changes that have taken place regarding ______.A) the number of people who work in the areaB) the number of buses in the areaC) the strength of workers in the areaD) the use of power in the area3. Which of the following statements is true?A) There is no information about people's names on the census forms.B) The census would not be accurate if the information was fed into a computer.C) The census gives information about the whole country.D) Named people and families do not need to give information.4. Information about names and addresses ________.A) is stored in the computer for 100 yearsB) is not usually accurateC) will not be seen by anyoneD) will be made public in 100 years5. The people who work on the census _______.A) will not see the completed formsB) have promised not to reveal informationC) are not allowed to keep the information in memoryD) are secretly trainedPassage 5 CBCAAIf you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year.A famous scientist, Ellsworth Huntington(1876-1974), concluded, from his work among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about rapid growth of everything in nature.Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be good time to take a long vacation from thinking.1. According to this passage, your intelligence probably________.A. stays the same throughout the yearB. varies from day to dayC. changes with the seasonsD. changes from year to year2. Huntington based his conclusions on __________.A. records of changes in his own intelligenceB. his work among peoples in different climatesC. records of temperature changesD. all of the above3. It seems that the cold of winter _________.A. increases the ability to thinkB. is the best time for thinkingC. is better for thinking than the heat of summerD. decreases the ability to think4. One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that______.A. everything in nature, including man, is growing then.B. it lasts longer than the other seasons.C. it is not too warm and not too coldD. both B and C5. The two best seasons for thinking seem to be _________.A. spring and fallB. winter and summerC. summer and springD. fall and winterPassage 6 ABCADSurprise! You’re in college! “I never knew living with a roommate was so hard.” “I can’t believe the amount of reading required for just one class.” “I didn’t know what the Freshman 20was until I gained 20 pounds.” No matter how hard or how long you plan for college, it’s f illed with surprises, from dorm conflicts and academic rigors（严酷；艰苦）to the relationship maze and campus logistics（后勤）. Students at Northwestern College in Saint Paul, Minn., share surprises they encountered to give freshmen a “heads up” on what to expect when entering the ivy-covered walls this fall.Dorm LifeAdjusting to a roommate’s music preferences, sleeping times and tastes in dorm was a surprise to Emily Carlson,a communication major. “I was an only child used to my own room, so it was a chall enge adjusting to roommates.” “At first it felt like being at summer camp,” recalls Kristy Lindquist, a cross-cultural ministry major. “Eventually one becomes accustomed to it, after growing from both good and bad experiences.” At the beginning of her fres hman year, Amber White, a music major, thought she’d get close to one roommate in particular, but it wasn’t the case. “I thought I’d get along better with my roommates, but overall the friends I made in the first weeks were not the friends I actually kept.” The housekeeping aspects of the sexes surprised senior Ben Hemmila, president of the Northwestern Student Association. “Guys’ dorms smell bad no matter what happens! Girls’ dorms are generally messier than guys’, but smell better.”AcademicsNeed to study for a mid-term exam or finish a term paper? Get ready to burn the midnight oil ― and the early-morning oil! “Late in college means 3-4 a.m. not 10-11 p.m.” says Hemmila. Carlson agrees. “With other obligations, like work and social things, studying until 3 a.m. is not unusual.” Yet she was surprised at her stamina（体力；精力；活力）. “I’ve stayed up 48, even 72 hours studying ― thanks to coffee and willpower. Staying up isn’t that hard. The difficult part is keeping everything in your brain.” Another common s urprise is the vast amount of reading college requires: 50-60 pages a night ― per class! Hemmila was surprised he didn’t get a detention（延迟；留置；拘留）when he skipped a class. But he still paid the tuition for that skipped class. S tudents are surprised to realize their education needs to include personal discipline and time management. “There is never enough time,” realizes Katie Dean, a business major. “I can’t be involved in everything like in high school, and even a part-time job is hard with a full load.” P aul Bradley, dean of residence life at Northwestern College, says freshmen usually find they have more homework than expected and finals are more difficult. “They’re surprised because they get fewer directives from professors on how to study and what to st udy.”As for that Freshman 20, Murphy hears from many students who were amazed how quickly they gained weight. “It’s the reality of inactivity ― sitting in class, studying, then eating pizza.”1. According to the passage above, the Freshman 20 is _____.A.a new student who is almost 20B.a freshman who gains 20 pounds quicklyC.a new students who is 20 poundsD.a freshman who always gains weight 20 pounds a year2. What might “burn the midnight oil” mean in this passage?A.To burn something at night with oil.B.To stay up studying.C.To burn the mid-term exam or a term paper at night.D.To get up late.3. The following statements are mentioned EXCEPT _____.A.bo ys’ dorms do not smell good no matter what happensB. it was a challenge for those who live in their own rooms at home to adjust to roommatesC. students are not surprised to know the y need personal discipline and time managementD. coffee and willpower can help students study at night for long time4. What can we know from the passage based on the author’s opinion?A.Time and tide wait for no man.B.It is easy for students to adjust to the new college life.C.Dorm life is different from the life at home.D.Freshmen know what to do because they can get much help from professors.5. This passage mainly tells us ______.A.dorm life in collegeB.academics in collegeC.new s tudents life at Northwestern CollegeD.surprise at dorm life and academics of the new students in collegePassage7 DCBABWhat can you do when you find yourself in school without enough friends? Making friends on campus is not the easiest thing to do especially when you are new on campus or you go to an urban commuter campus. Meeting people at school need s not be a daunting task. There are several methods that are not difficult to master and you may find easy when you try them out.Start by looking around at people you tend to see frequently, such as, people who you see in your classes, dorms and dining areas. Often an easy way to start a conversation is to focus on an area of obvious common interest. For example, before or after classes, ask, “did you get the assignment for next week”, or “ what did you think of the professor’s theory of...”This gets you pas s the most difficult part, which is starting the first conversation. Be sure to introduce yourself before the end of the conversation.If your campus has a dining facility, cafe or coffee cart, then there will be more opportunities for meeting people. After you’ve introduced yourself and talked about class, it’s the perfect time to ask the other person to join you for a cup of coffee. Once you are at the table it should be easier to talk about where you’re from, what is your major, what you think of the class, whether it is easy or hard. Once you start a conver sation, you’ve gotten past the most difficult part. It will be much easier to suggest meeting again for coffee, or to meet socially off campus.Put yourself where there are other people that you will see over and over. Join a club, interest group or sports team. Obviously if you live in a dormitory you will have chances to interact with people in your dorm floor as well as the dorm cafeteria. Make it a point of inviting people to meet you for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

The grindstone is down in the shop.”Patting me on my head, he said, “Will you get me some hot water?” I ran and brought the hot water.“How old are you, and what is you name?” he asked, without waiting for a reply, “I’m sure you are one of the finest boys I have ever seen. Will you turn the grindstone a few minutes for me?”Hearing the flattery again, I went to work with a will. It was a new ax, and I worked hard until I was almost tired to death. The school bell rang, but I could not get away, because the ax was not half ground.At last, however, it was sharpened. Then the man turned to me and said, “Now, you little rascal (小坏蛋), you have played truant ( 旷课)! Run to school, or you’ll be sorry!”“Alas!” thought I. “It was hard enough to turn a grindstone this cold day, b ut now to be called a rascal is too much.”The memory of turning the grindstone that winter morning sank deep into my mind. I have thought of it since. Now, whenever I hear words of flattery, I say to myself. “That man has an ax to grind.”1. Which of the following did the man with the ax NOT do that morning?A.

Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.Successful and happy people have a vision of how their life should be and they set lots of goals (both short-term and long-range) to help them reach their vision. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind (her goal) which is laid out for her on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be?Winners in life set goals and follow them. Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set and they aren’t difficultto reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals, ideals and visions really are. You are the one who must decide what to pursue and in what direction to aim your life.Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular fashion you are able to stimulate your subconscious to be continuously alert to situations that will further your goal.1) The example of two drivers in the second paragraph is cited to show __________.A. the difficulty of driving without a mapB. the foolishness of the second driverC. the importance of avoiding wrong turnsD. the significance of setting goals2) Successful people differ from unsuccessful ones in that __________.A. the former set goals which are difficult to achieveB.the latter make unreasonable demands of themselvesC.the former have goals in life and make plans to carry them outD. the latter set goals and try to get other people to help them3) According to the writer, what is the most important in the whole process of realizing one’s goal?A.Trying to be realistic about one’s capabilities.B. Analyzing problems that may be involved.C. Having a clear understanding of what one wants in life.D. Dreaming of a very beautiful future.4) What is suggested if people want to realize their goals without fail?A. They should write down their goals.B. They should sign a contract with other people involved.C. They should be aware of the difficulties they are faced with.D. They should discuss with other people about their goals.5) Which of the following statements is closest to the main idea of the passage?A. Success is possible only when a person has set his or her goal clearly.B. Goals enable people to achieve everything they desire in life.C. Winners of any competition should never be satisfied with themselves.D. Goals must be realistic and within the realm of possibility.Passage 10 BCDCCIt was a quarter past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work. Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day. Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked “King Enterprises,” she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no reply. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices,so she opened the door and went in. Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. At the far end of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. King, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day’s work in the office began just before Mr. King arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.1) Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because _______.A. it was her first day in a new jobB. she was a little bit late for workC. she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong placeD. there was no answer from inside the office2) Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as _______.A. the office had a new appearanceB. Mr. King was not in the officeC. nobody was doing any workD. she had been there only once3) The people in the office suddenly started working because _______.A. they saw a stranger in the officeB. they had finished their morning breakC. no one wanted to talk to MarieD. the boss was about to arrive4) We can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise _______.A. would start their work by listening to a jokeB. were cold to newcomersC. lacked devotion to the companyD. were always punctual for work5) The best title for this text would be _______.A. Punctual Like A ClockB. A Cold WelcomeC. An Unpunctual ManagerD. Better Late Than NeverPassage 11 BCDBBI was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember about the victory celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not suffered much from the war there, though like most children of my age, I was used to seeing bombed houses in the streets and the enormous army lorries （卡车）passing through. But both at home and at school I had become accustomed to the phrases “before the war ” and “when the war’s over”. “Before the war”, apparently, things had been better, though I was too young to understand why, except that there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice。
