Many other countries and regions use it for politics and business, for example, India. Pakistan, Nigeri a and the Philippines. English is also one of the official languag es of Hong Kong.But global advertising and pop music mean that in most countri es, you will see or hear some English. Thanks to McDonalds, w e all know about “burgers”.“fries” and “milkshakes”. Songs by Madonna, Britney Spears and Celine Dion are in English.

First of all, always check and double-check departure (起程) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. O nce I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the pl ane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the d eparture desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I ha d to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit c ards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local curre ncy(货币) with you when you arrive in a country. This can be necessar y if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few ye ars ago I was sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I flew there from Londo n via(经由)Dallas, with very little time to change planes in between. I arr ived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. T he only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had n o dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.“Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing (令人难堪的).The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about t he weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suit and raincoats i n May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to pla ces like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning t o get quite warm during the day.46. According to the passage, it’s obvious that______A. The author learns some rules of traveling from his own exper ience.B. The author doesn’t plan his trips or journeys carefully.C. Englishmen like to wear heavy suits wherever they travelD. The America taxi driver never travels to England.47. What should you make sure first before setting off?A. When you will leave.B. Where you will go.C. How you will travelD. Whom you will go with.48. According to the passage, the driver was angry because___ ____A. the author gave him false moneyB. the author did not give him the local currencyC. the author did not give him moneyD. the author had no enough change49. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The author tells people to choose warm places as their travel destinations.B. You don’t have to take credit cards when traveling.C. You should know more about the weather of the place you’ll visit.D. You should take enough change when you travel to other co untries.50. What is the main idea of the passage?A. A few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.[B. Always check and double-check departure time.C.

Wake-upWhen your eyes open, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, bend forward until you feel a stretch in your back. Hold and then use your abs (腹部肌肉) to lower yourself flat. Rest and repeat two more times. It will burn about 10 calories.2. Start with soup⑥When you have meal, order a clear soup, and have it before having the main food. It can save twice the calories. Besides, you’ll feel fuller, so you’ll eat less when the main food comes.3. An apple (or more) a dayApples are packed with fiber（光纤） and water, so your stomach will want less.

Paleoanthropologist Russell Ciochon，the US co author at the University of Iowa，said the panda’s focus on bamboo could ha ve helped it survive all these years. “Once an animal begins to rely on a common and stable food source，such as bamboo，it tends to evolve a larger body size，”he said.“As individuals of the evolving species grow bigger，they have a better chance not to be eaten by predators(肉食动物) due to their larger body size.”【解题导语】2001年在广西壮族自治区出土的一个大熊猫头骨化石证明，大熊猫在两百多万年前已经以竹子为主食，而且当时的大熊猫比如今的大熊猫小三分之一。

高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（答案及解析）Words：322难度系数：★★建议用时：8分钟If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong.Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power.Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter.This is the area of the brain which processes information.It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr.Andrea Mechelli，from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language，” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales，has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible，”he said.“You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34.Reading，writing, and comprehension were all tested.The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.“Studying a language means you getan entrance to another world，” explained the scientists.5．The main subject talked about in this passage is________.A．science on learning a second languageB．man’s ability of learning a second languageC．language can help brain powerD．language learning and maths study解析：选C。

山东省青岛市高考英语 完形填空、阅读理解训练题(1)
青岛市2014高考英语完形填空、阅读理解训练题（1）及答案阅读理解专题******主旨大意一、题型特点与解题技巧这类试题要求对文章的整体或局部（如段落）进行分析、概括，归纳相关部分的中心大意(Main idea)，选择标题（title），判断作者的写作目的（purpose）等，旨在考查考生加工与浓缩信息的能力。
这一项考查的是文章的灵魂与中心。
一、常见问题形式有：(1)The subject/topic of the article is ……(2)Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?(3)What does the passage/author mainly discuss?(4)Which of the following is the best title of the passage?二、应试技巧1.开门见山, 提出主题。
开门见山, 提出主题，随之用细节来解释, 支撑或发展主题句所表达的主题思想，是最常见的演绎法写作方式，分清main idea 和 supporting sentences。
英语阅读理解中的许多文章都属于“观点论证型”和“现象解释型”的文章，而这两类文章常常采取的是“一般到具体”的篇章结构模式。
也就是说这类文章往往开宗明义，文章伊始就要摆明描述的主要对象或论述的主要观点。
An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to (归因于) the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.…………………………………………………………………………………………………What’s the main idea of the text?A. Universities have received more applications.B. Economics is attracting an increasing number of studentsC. College students benefit a lot from economic uncertainty.D. Parents are concerned with children’s subject selection. ( 2009 山东)2．首段的末句和二段首句对于阅读理解中的其他篇章结构模式，如“问题解决型”和“破旧立新型”的文章，文章的首段的末句或二段的首句就成了主题句高发出现点，特别是当文章的首句后出现的转折性的陈述，而所涉及的主体事物没有发生转变时，那么文章的主题句往往是转折词后出现的与首句相对立的结论。
