Wang Weiguo, an award-winning actor of the National Theatre Company of China, was wandering through Bejing’s Panjiayuan Flea Market when he found a treasure, 20 exquisite (精致的) picture frames（框子）. He bought them all.Inside the frames was a woman’s life story. There were pictures of her as a baby and a growing child and pictures with her parents. Wang Weiguo was sure someone had lost them. He contacted the police and media. He showed them to friends and to people living outside China. No one recognized the people in the photographs.That was 1999. Wang never gave up the search. In 2010 he told the story to a TV host, Zhang Zequn, who suggested he contact China Radio International. Within three months of the story’s being posted on CRI, someone recognized Julie Ege in one of the photographs. The wonderful Norwegian actress and model was the mother of the child whose growing years the photos traced.The child was Joanna Syson. She moved to Beijing in the 1990s to study Chinese. In 1999 she returned to Norway for six months, entrusting (委托) all her belongings, including the photographs, to a friend. When she returned, the friend was gone. So were her belongings. She was heartbroken.More than a decade passed. Then, thanks to the story posted on CRI and to a visitor to the website, the trail (踪迹) finally led to Joanna Syson. She traveled to Bejing to meet Wang Weiguo, who had searched for her for 12 years, and to recover her treasured photographs.50. Which of the following can best describe Wang Weiguo?A. Warm-hearted and crazy.B. Friendly and confident.C. Kind and determined.D. Sensitive and honest.51. What can we infer about Wang Weiguo？A. He took great trouble in finding the owner.B. He got himself into big trouble in finding the owner.?C. His friends were all willing to help him find the owner.D. He has a friend working for China Radio International.52. What was Joanna Syson’s mot her?A. A Chinese language learner.B. An excellent actress.C. A good housewife.D. A super movie star.53. What is the best title of the text?A. Flea market treasure finds its way homeB. A touching story happening in a flea marketC. A wonderful and honest Chinese actorD. A sad story about a girlCCAAIt was an exciting day when Thomas Finger looked inside the nose of a small black mouse. Finger had borrowed the animal from another scientist. It was not your average mouse. The mouse’s genes had been changed so that the tast e buds(味蕾) on its tongue turned green when you shined light on them —like a secret message written in secret ink.But no one had ever looked inside its nose. When Finger finally did look there with a microscope, he saw thousands of green cells. ―It was li ke looking at little green stars at night,‖ says Finger,Seeing that green starry sky was Finger’s first glimpse of a new world. If he and other scientists are right, we don’t taste things just on our tongues. Other parts of our body can also taste things — our nose, our stomach, even our lungs!You might think of taste as something that you experience when you put chocolate in your mouth — or chicken soup, or salt. But for you to taste chocolate or chicken soup, special cells on your tongue have to tell the brain that they detected chemicals that are in the food. We have at least five kinds of these chemical-detecting cells (commonly called taste cells) on our tongues: cells that detect salt, sweet compounds(混合物), sour things, bitter things and savory(香的) things like meat or broth.It’s these chemical-sensing cells that scientists are now finding all over the body. ―I’ll bet you that in terms of total number of cells,‖ says Finger, ―there are more [taste cells] outside the mouth than inside the mouth.‖This gives us clues about other functions the sense of taste has in our bodies. It could also help scientists find new treatments for certain diseases.68．In which way is Finger’s mouse different from a common one?A．Its nose has chemical – detecting cells.B．Its tongue can change color.C．Its tongue has more taste cells.D．Its nose is green.69．What Finger saw inside the mous e’s nose is .A．a kind of cell detecting salt B．a kind of gene like a starC．a surprising finding D．a secret message70．From the passage, we may conclude that Finger’s finding .A．helps find more functions of the sense of tasteB．helps find more functions of the tongueC．will cause quarrels among scientistsD．will prevent some diseases71．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Green stars in a mouse’s mouth. B．Taste cells.C．New chemical – sensing cells. D．Full – body taste.BCADWhen it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence.People naturally have different levels of confidence. Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their mostimportant goals. Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals.One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise. This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities. After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success. If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally veryimportant to success on the job. If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing. After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team. Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve. Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.64. What is the passage mainly about?A. The influence of confidence on one’s life.B. The importance of confidence to success.C. The difference of people’s confidence.D. The judgment on one’s confidence.65. Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those _____.A. who think their goals are hard to reachB. who expect to give guidance to othersC. who want to ask the boss for a raiseD. who dream to be recognized experts66. What does the underlined word indispensable in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. importantB. attractiveC. outgoingD. energetic67. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?A. To overlook one’s disadvantages.B. To make full use of one’s advantages.C. To have great confidence in one’s abilities.D. To make objective evaluations of one’s abilities.BAADEmployees are being flooded with too much information that has little to do with their work, according to a new survey.On average, white-collar workers spend 51 percent of their work time receiving and processing information. Only one third of it was relevant to their work, the survey found. Information overload for white collar workers has become a global issue. The huge amount of information has already affected their efficiency in management as well as their performance at work.Buried with e-mailsEvery morning, a secretary at the human resources department of an auto parts company opens her e-mail box, only to find it crammed with at least 50 unread mails. For her, even scanning through these e-mails every day takes at least half an hour. Some of her colleagues are not so lucky — they have to read at least 100.Bothered with callsTelephone calls are also causing a problem. More than 40 percent white-collar workers chose mobile phones as the preferred way to communicate important and urgent business matters. Talking saves time and energy over the clicking, reading and replying to e-mails, but phone calls are also more distracting(分心的). While answering a call, a clerk is likely to put away a much more important task at hand and start the business being talked about on the phone. Solution? Not yet.Many companies start with providing staff with better computers, better Internet access and more advanced gadgets(装置). For example, staff members above a certain level in one company will be provided with a blackberry phone for easier access to their e-mails. The company has also organized many lectures on efficient ways of e-mail management. Yet most white-collar workers think their companies can do more.1.What does the new survey find about white-collar workers?A．They spend 51% of their work time on meetings.B．Only half of the information they receive is useful.C．Over 60% of them prefer to use the telephone.D．Some of them have to read at least 100 e-mails every day.2 .Telephone calls cause a problem because ________.A．they take up the time to receive and send e-mailsB．they are often not answeredC．they are mostly not about businessD．they may lead to the changing of work schedule3.How do some companies try to solve the problem of information overload?A．They start to give staff a pay rise.B．They plan to employ more people.C．They provide employees with more advanced equipment.D．They organize lectures on how to reduce stress.4.What is the major issue discussed in this text?A．Poor management leads to inefficiency at work.B．Junk mail is causing big trouble.C．White-collar workers suffer from information overload.D．Better computers are in need in workplaces.DDCC。

专题十五：阅读理解之主旨大意题A组课堂专项训练难度系数：★★★模拟专场（一）: 2015山东省潍坊市重点中学高三模拟C篇My passion started decades ago as a kid on a flight to India. I was attracted by how such a large airplane was able to glide(滑翔) smoothly above the clouds. I made it a goal to become a pilot. I am now a pilot for American airlines. Though being a pilot consumes my life，it is a job worth doing. My job is slightly different compared to that of a typical pilot. Most pilots have their routes they fly. They then familiarize(使…熟悉) themselves with the routes. However, in my case，I participate in any job where a pilot is immediately required. It is true that some days I might have a workday from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon. In fact，some days，I might even begin my work at three in the morning when I am needed to fly. Sometimes, as for the typical day，I do not have one.Having been on the job for over two decades，I have learned some important life lessons. As I greet passengers boarding the airplane，I realize I，along with other airline pilots, have enhanced(提高)the lives of those who we are serving. In fact, there is one particular experience that I will never forget. A family was walking in from the gate, explaining that their beloved one was ill and had to be taken to a big hospital in another city immediately. It was at this point that I realized just how important my job was.Therefore, my life as an airline pilot is definitely not for everyone. However，my job is something I enjoy thoroughly and will continue to do till I am old enough. As a pilot, I have been able to experience so many different types of situations in different places throughout the world. For anyone interested in piloting, I would recommend going for it.1. What would be the best title for this passage?A. My pleasure in serving peopleB. Difference in my job as a pilotC. My interest in being a pilot as a boyD. My job as an American airline‘s pilot1.【解析】【文章大意】在作者还是一个孩子的时候，第一次坐飞机，看见硕大的飞机在云层里自由地翱翔，作者小小的心里就悄悄种下了梦想的种子，长大后一定要成为一名飞行员，多年以后，作者真的成为了一名飞行员，一次难忘的经历也让作者明白这份工作有多重要。

考点分类练(七)主旨大意题——文章大意类A(2021·山东烟台一模)The paper, published in May by the Journal of Marketing Research, analysed purchases made from a single large European retailer and found that free shipping did encourage customers to buy more. But it also increased purchases of items that historically have higher return rates, such as clothing or products from lesser-known brands. Thus, returns also increased as a result of the promotions, to the point where profits were erased.In one part of the paper, during the typically four-week periods when free shipping was offered, online order volumes rose 11%. But when the cost of returns was compared with the sales proceeds(收入), the authors calculated that on balance the results for the promotion periods amounted to an average 0.7% loss.In one analysis that ran for two months, the researchers found that the return rate for customers who bought low-risk products—like office supplies, or products from well-known brands—averaged about 22%.In another analysis, the researchers attempted to better understand motivations of online shoppers by measuring their attitudes towards free shipping. They found two things were happening. First, consumers saw free shipping as compensation for taking a risk on a product. Second, feelings of gratitude for having shipping costs eliminated(消除) made them happy and thus more willing to make a risky purchase.Prof.Neslin advises companies to look at whether their own free-shipping promotions are profitable before they launch such campaigns. Also, he advises companies to identify which products get returned more often than others and try to provide customers with more information about those products, so they can make more informed choices.1.What erased the profits according to the first paragraph?A.The risky customers.B.The European retailer.C.The returned items.D.The lesser-known brands.2.What can we learn from the passage?A.Consumers risked purchasing a product when free shipping came along with it.B.Free shipping encouraged customers to buy products from well-known brands.C.Online order volumes rose only when free shipping was offered as compensation.D.Purchases of office supplies also increased during the typically four-week periods.3.What is the passage mainly about?A.Low-risk products.B.Return rates.C.Increased purchases.D.Free shipping.B(2021·湖北黄冈高三4月模拟)An advance in electronic publishing could make the e-book you are reading seem as dated as a silent film. Publishers hope to explore the growing success of e-books by releasing versions with added soundtracks(电影原声音乐) and musical accompaniments.The noise in the first multimedia books—released in Britain—include the rain hitting a window in a Sherlock Holmes tale. When the plot of a book reaches the most exciting part, background scores will create tension.Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for e-books and will add excitement for younger readers. Critics, however, will argue that the noise will ruin the simple pleasure of having the imagination stimulated by reading.Caroline Michel, chief executive of the literary agency, said the new generation of computer-literate readers was used to multiple sensory input. She said,“Young people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time. If that’s what the market wants then we should respond to the market.”Booktrack’s sound effects work by estimating the user’s reading speed. Each time you “turn” a page, the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly. If the soundtrack becomes out of sync(同步), a click on any word will reset it.Some authors fear that a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure of reading. David Nicholls, author of Our Day, the best-seller now released as a film, said, “This sounds like the opposite of reading. I have enough trouble reading an e-book because I’m constantly distracted by emails.”Stuart MacBride sells 18% of his books as electronic downloads. He said,“If I’m reading, I will do the noise in my head. I don’t need someone to tell me what teacups clinking sounds like. That would irritate me.”4.What do publishers expect an e-book soundtrack to do?A.Help to release an e-book as a film.B.Help readers improve reading speed.C.Add tension at a book’s exciting point.D.Get readers familiar with the background.5.Who is in favour of added soundtracks for e-books?A.Sherlock Holmes.B.Caroline Michel.C.David Nicholls.D.Stuart MacBride.6.What do we know about Stuart MacBride?A.He was a person who was easy to get angry.B.He knew a great deal of tea.C.Eighty-two percent of his books described crime.D.He imagined sounds related to the story when reading.7.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.Opinions about e-books with soundtracks.B.Response to the need of the book market.C.Reasons for traditional e-books becoming outdated.D.Suggestions on encouraging readers’ imagination.C(2021·湖南长郡十五校高三联考)For most people, graduation is an exciting day of the celebration of years of hard work. My graduation day was not.I remember that weekend two years ago. Family and friends had flown in from across the country to attend the celebration. But just like everyone else in my class, I had watched the economy turn from bad to worse. What I thought would take a week dragged into two, and then four, and 100 job applications later, I found myself in the exact same spot as I was before. And the due date to begin paying back my student loan was drawing closer.You know that feeling when you wake up in fear? That feeling became a constant in my life. Days felt like weeks, weeks like months. And the most frustrating part was no matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t seem to make any progress.So what did I do to maintain my sanity(理智)? I decided to write. Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer—a little brighter. Something about writing gave me hope. And if you want something badly enough, sometimes a little hope is all you need! So I put my thoughts into a children’s book. And then one day, without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world—just a lot of hard work and perseverance—I was offered a publishing contract for my first book! After that, things slowly began to fall into place. I was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview and was hired shortly.The moral of this story is... don’t give up. Even if things look bleak now, don’t give up. If you work hard, things will always get better. Oftentimes all we need is the courage to overcome difficulties.8.From paragraph 2, we can learn that the author probably .A.was having an exciting graduationB.was getting into financial difficultiesC.missed the life in the universityD.had just applied for the student loan9.How did the author change the frustrating situation?A.By sending applications.B.By offering contracts.C.By keeping writing.D.By publishing books.10.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “bleak” in the last paragraph?A.Unattractive.B.Hopeless.C.Thrilling.D.Promising.11.What is the passage mainly about?A.Success belongs to the persevering.B.A contented mind is a permanent feast.C.A smooth sea never makes a skillful mariner.D.Misfortunes tell us what fortune is.考点分类练(七)主旨大意题——文章大意类【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。

阅读理解：主旨大意（二）AYou might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world's temperature. But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤离) of an island nation. The citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.During the 20th century, sea level rose 812 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water that has polluted the country's drinking water.Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (减少温室效应气体排放), which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years，” Laupepa told the BBC.Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影响的) to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”．篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。

They build their homes about 4.6m above the river, an important feature (特征) for the safety of the young. It is called the hoatzin.In appearance, the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside. The head is small, with a large set of feathers on the top, bright red eyes, and blue skin. Its nearest relatives are the common birds, cuckoos. Its most striking feature, though, is only found in the young.Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip. Using these four claws, together with the beak (喙), they can climb about in the bushes, looking very much like primitive birds must have done. When the young hoatzins have learned to fly, they lose their claws.During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds, but in April, when the rainy season begins, they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.1. What is the text mainly about?A. Hoatzins in dry and rainy seasons.B. The relatives and enemies of hoatzins.C. Primitive birds and hoatzins of the Amazon.D. The appearance and living habits of hoatzins.2. Young hoatzins are different from their parents in that_________ ．A. they look like young cuckoosB. they have claws on the wingsC. they eat a lot like a cowD. they live on river banks3. What can we infer about primitive birds from the text?A. They had claws to help them climb.B. They could fly long distances.C. They had four wings like hoatzins.D. They had a head with long feathers on the top.4. Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes?A. To find more food.B. To protect themselves better.C. To keep themselves warm.D. To produce their young.B(全国卷I )Science can't explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.Any owner will tall you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners –while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best .Those testedwith their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned. Most quickly to baseline heart rates .With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes. Than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more released (放松)around Pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don’t judge.A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a Year studying 36 fat people and were put on a diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 fat people without pets were put on a diet program. On average，people lost about 11 pounds，Or 5% of their body weight .Their dogs did even better，losing an average of 12 pounds，more then 15%of their body weight .Dog owners didn’t lose any more weight than those without dogs but ,say Researchers，got more exercise overall –mostly with their dogs –and found it worth doing.1．What does the text mainly discuss?A. What pets bring to their ownersB. How pets help people calm downC. people’s opinions of keeping petsD. Pet’s value in medical research2．We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if____________A. he has a pet companionB. he has less stress of workC. he often dose mental arithmeticD. he is taken care of by his family3．According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks?A. They have lower blood pressure.B. They become more patient.C. They are less nervous.D. They are in higher spirits.4．The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that __________.A. people with dogs did more exerciseB. dogs lost the same weight as people didC. dogs liked exercise much more than people didD. people without dogs found the program unhelpfulC(天津)To err is human. To blame the other guy is even more human.Common sense is not all that common.Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?These three popular misquotes(戏谑的引语)are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature .To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibili ty for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do .The original quote about human nature went like this:” To err is human, to forgive, divine(神圣的).”This saying mirrors an i deal people should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite –find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity.Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Commonsense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine．Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company,” the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.”And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people. Get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary(直接推论)to that: if good excuse is “good” even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?1. According to the passage, which of following seems the most human?A. To search for truth．B. To achieve one’s idealC. To make fun of others’ mistakes．D. To criticize others for one’s own error. 2．According to the author, what is a sign of a man’s mat urity?A.

But have we gone to far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms, however, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lives.

Without modern technology, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and animals.

As we grow, we develop many complexities due to many influences in our lives. Our brain collects and saves all kinds of information from the moment we were born. Apart from our brain having memory, cells in our body have their own memory, meaning that our body stores memories, both physiologically and psychologically. We are complex emotional beings in nature compared with any other living thing.Apparently, physiological and psychological memories strongly influence our emotions! Interestingly, we can create, store and release emotions like energy. Moreover, if we do not process our negative emotions properly and suppress (压制) them for a long time, they can find a way out violently and unexpectedly. Unfortunately, we carr y our guilt throughout our lives putting the everincreasing burden on our shoulders.Both guilt and anger are useless for us. Therefore, one may ask: Is there a way to put down the burden from our shoulders? It is possible, indeed. Importantly, since our guilt and anger inside us are neither released nor given attention to, they are stored. Actually, we should take action to address our negative emotions in order to remove them from our system.We cannot just wish them away.In fact, by acknowledging their presence and providing a channel for them, we can dissolve our emotions gradually. Is there a better way to unload our burden? Luckily, we have a natural gift for processing our feelings and emotions—forgiveness.Indeed, forgiving ourselves is a great way to dissolve negative emotions. Of course, we should also learn to readily forgive others, and when we learn to forgive ourselves, we also naturally forgive others.In summary, it is no good carrying our years of emotional baggage. By forgiving, we can throw away the emotional baggage we carry for years. Forgive your past mistakes. The moment you start forgiving, you will feel relieved and years of heaviness will lift magically!5．What can we know from the first paragraph?A．Human beings are born with complexities.B．Our body has the ability to memorize information.C.Our brain can collect and retain all information.D.Not all the other living things have complex emotions like human beings.6．Why do some people relieve themselves from negative emotions violently?A．Human beings are complex emotional beings in nature.B．Physiological and psychological memories strongly affect their emotions.C．Bad emotions are inside them for too long and are dealt with incorrectly.D．Their body stores both physiological and psychological memories.7．Which of the following statements may the author agree with?A．Drink some wine and you may feel relieved.B.There is a way to dissolve your guilt only if you have the wish.C．Try to release your anger and guilt, or they will be stored inside.D．Every coin has two sides, which is true of our guilt and anger.8．What's the main idea of this passage?A．Learning to forgive helps people unload their psychological burden.B．Forgiving is the best way for people to dissolve negative emotions.C．Forgiving ourselves is the first step of forgiving others.D．Being energetic and optimistic leads to a happier life.C[2022·河南省高三高考适应性测试]The yogurt that's past its sellby date. The banana in your lunch that turned brown. The leftovers in the fridge that you forgot to eat. For most people, all that food goes right into the garbage can.Eight to ten percent of global greenhouse gas emissions (排放物) are related to food waste, according to a report by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Chang e. “When you throw away an egg or a sandwich，” says Yvette Cabrera, food waste director at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)，“you're also throwing away all the resources that went into producing those things.”They include not only all the water, land, and fertilizer (肥料) that went into producing that food, but also the massive amounts of fossil fuels used to power the farms, transport the food, and create the packaging.Then there's the issue of what happens to food after it's thrown out. More food ends up in U．S. landfills than any other type of trash. Food rotting in landfills produces methane (甲烷), a greenhouse gas that's roughly 25 times more powerful at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, which is produced by burning fossil fuels.Food waste is a difficult problem to solve, though, in part because it happens for different reasons depending on the country. In developing nations, 40 percent of food is lost before it ever reaches people's homes, because many of those countries lack the technology and tools to preserve food.It's another story in wealthier countries, where most of the food is wasted in people's kitchens. Americans, for example, throw out a quarter of their groceries each year, on average, according to the NRDC. That's like going to the grocery store, leaving with four bags of groceries, and then throwing one of them into the garbage before you get home.9．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．The problem of food waste.B．The awareness of food saving.C．The necessity of food diversity.D．The ways of food preservation.10．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．The leftovers in the fridge.B．The packaging materials of products.C．The thrown eggs or sandwiches.D．The resources to produce food.11．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4?A．Provide a persuasive example.B．Add more background information.C．Discuss a more serious consequence.D．Summarize the previous paragraphs.12．In what stage does food waste mainly happen in developed countries?A．Storage. B．Transportation.C．Processing. D．Consumption.[答题区]阅读理解题型分类练(八)A语篇类型：记叙文主题语境：人与自我——做人与做事——坐着轮椅打篮球【语篇解读】作者在一次事故中双腿受伤，不能再行走，不得不坐轮椅生活。
阅读理解：主旨大意题
约翰·布兰查德从长凳上站起身来，整了整军装，留意着格兰德中央车站进出的人群。
他在寻找一位姑娘，一位佩带玫瑰的姑娘。
他知其心，但不知其貌。
十二个月前，在佛罗里达州的一个图书馆，他对她产生了兴趣。
他从书架上取下一本书，很快便被吸引住了，不是被书的内容，而是被铅笔写的眉批。
柔和的笔迹显示出其人多思善虑的心灵和富有洞察力的头脑。
在书的前页，他找到了前一位拥有人的姓名，霍利斯·梅奈尔小姐。
他花了一番工夫和努力，找到了她的地址。
她住在纽约市。
他给她写了一封信介绍自己，并请她回复。
第二天他被运往海外，参加第二次世界大战。
在接下来的一年当中，两人通过信件来往增进了了解。
每一封信都如一颗种子撒入肥沃的心灵之土。
浪漫的爱情之花就要绽开。
布兰查德提出要一张照片，可她拒绝了。
她解释道：“如果你对我的感情是真实的，是诚心诚意的，那我的相貌如何并不重要。
设想我美丽动人。
我将会一直深感不安，惟恐你只是因为我的容貌就贸然与我相爱，而这种爱情令我憎恶。
设想本人相貌平平（你得承认，这种可能性更大）。
那我一直会担心，你和我保持通信仅仅是出于孤独寂寞，无人交谈。
不，别索要照片。
等你到了纽约，你会见到我，到时你可再作定夺。
且记，见面后我俩都可以自由决定中止关系或继续交往——无论你怎么选择......”他从欧洲回国的日子终于到了。
他们安排了两人的第一次见面——晚上七点，纽约格兰德中央车站。
“你会认出我的，” 她写道，“我会在衣襟上戴一朵红玫瑰。
” 于是，晚上七点，他候在车站，寻找一位过去一年里在自己生活中占据了如此特殊地位的姑娘，一位素未谋面，但其文字伴随着他、始终支撑着他精神的姑娘。
且让布兰查德先生告诉你接下来发生的事吧：一位年轻的姑娘向我走来，她身材颀长纤细。
一头卷曲的金发披在秀美的耳后；眼睛碧蓝，如花似玉。
她的双唇和下颌线条柔和，却又柔中见刚，她身穿浅绿色套装，犹如春天一般生气盎然。
我朝她走去，完全忘了去看她有没有戴玫瑰花。
