Ringing a BellThe teacher looked up from her yellow notebook and cleared her throat.“We’re going to be 16 the Salvation Army by ringing the bell. Each ofyou will ring it for four hours,” she announced. As the words left her lips,complaints could be heard around the room. Four hours of ringing a17 bell in winter! Four hours that I could be studying for the SATs. Wasthis supposed to be a joke? I joined the crowd around the table and signed upfor the first day of break—to get it over with.A few weeks later, I was standing next to Walmart. There was another guy holding a jar across from me. Great, I was going to be 18 here ringing a bell with another guy who was trying to get donations 19 some church organization. To top it off, it was 4℃ .20 , I put on the red apron bearing the symbol of the Salvation Army. Ring! Ring! A group of older women came up with their walking sticks to drop in some change. A man came by anddropped some coins in. I 21 my phone. Just 10 minutes had passed.A cold wind blew against my 22 face. I started to regret 23 my mom’s advice about wearing a scarf. I looked up, wishing that time would pass more quickly. A few birds swept around the electrical poles…Another ring of the bell brought me back to reality.From the full parking lot stepped a tall man. 24 he limped (跛行)toward me, I saw his unbalanced shoulders and awkward figure. His hair was messy and his jeans and shirt were dirty. When his hand reached toward the bucket, I caught a disgusting smell of oil and smoke. I couldn’t help but say, “Thank you, sir. Have a nice day.” He turned to smile, a smile that sharply contrasted his soiled clothing. The money he donated was not a lot, but it was 25 a lot to him.I was 26 by his generosity. This act of charity, though not much, was worth so much more than 27 given by those who are better off. I continued to ring my bell happily, 28 at everyone who entered the store. Occasionally, I handed out some homemade cookies that had been given to me earlier. Truly, 29 is contagious (有感染力的).In the beginning, I thought that this assignment would be a huge burden. Actually, I was being really30 . We should think about ot hers and learn more about what’s going on in the world around us. Finally, I encourage everyone to take four hours to ring a bell for the Salvation Army.16. A. helping B. rescuing C. inspecting D. building17. A. musical B. loud C. stupid D. warning18.

One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.In 1849, after graduation from a medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital, she also set up the first medical school for women.46. What main obstacle(障碍) almost destroyed Elizabeth’s chances for becoming a doctor?A.She was a woman. B.She wrote too many letters.C.She couldn’t graduate from a medical school. D.She couldn’t set up her hospital.47. Why couldn’t Elizabeth Blackwell realiz e her dream of becoming a surgeon?A.She couldn’t get admitted to a medical school.B.She decided to further her education in Paris.C.A serious eye problem stopped her.D.It was difficult for her to start a practice in the United States.48.

Eilzabeth Blackwell spent most of her life in _______.A. England B.Paris C.the United States D.New York CityBWhen I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay. She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, "Do you have the address? ""No, but I'll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine.”"Oh, stop. There it is!”The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us."May I help you?" a man asked. "No, "I said.”We're fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren't that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. "Where do you think you are?” he asked. I turned sharply. "The McNay Art Museum!" He smiled, shaking his head. "Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street." "What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. "Well, it's our home." My heart jolted(震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, "Sally! Come down immediately! ""There's some really good stuff(艺术作品)up there.”She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, "Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place." Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn't believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. "Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?”"Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone. ""That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about my home changed after that. I've always wanted to thank you."51. What do we know about Marian McNay?A. She was a painter.B. She was a community leader.C. She was a museum director.D. She was a journalist.52. Why did the author refuse the help from the man in the house?A. She disliked people who were nosy.B. She felt nervous when talking to strangers.C. She knew more about art than the man.D. She mistook him for a tour guide.53. How did the author feel about being stared at by the people in the hall?A. Puzzled.B. Concerned.C. Frightened.D. Delighted.54. Why did the author describe the real McNay museum in just a few words?A. The real museum lacked enough artwork to interest her.B. She was too upset to spend much time at the real museum.C. The McNay was disappointing compared with the house.D. The event happening in the house was more significant.55. What could we learn from the last paragraph?A. People should have good taste to enjoy life.B. People should spend more time with their family.C. People tend to be blind to the beauty around them.D. People tend to educate teenagers at a museum.CStatuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we "fit" in society. As we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the unfamiliar person on our property is a thief or a meter reader, and so on.The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter,and change throughout life. Most of us can, at very high speed,assume the statuses that various situations require. Much of social interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather effortlessly. A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits,the buyer can choose style and fabric. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit,as well as by our pocketbook . Having made a choice within these limits we can have certain alterations made,but apart from minor adjustments,we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks. Statues too come ready made,and the range of choice among them is limited.56. In the first paragraph,the writer tells us that statuses can help us ______.A. determine whether a person is fit for a certain jobB. behave appropriately in relation to other peopleC. protect ourselves in unfamiliar situationsD. make friends with other people57. According to the writer, people often assume different statuses ______.A. in order to identify themselvesB. in order to better identify othersC. as their mental processes changeD. as the situation changes58. By saying that “We must choose from among the cl othing presented by our society",the writer means_______.A. different people have different styles of clothesB. ready-made clothes may need alterationsC. statuses come ready made just like clothesD. our choice of statuses is limitedV: 阅读表达10%阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

高一英语百日训练之 阅读理解(18)含答案详解
高一英语百日训练之阅读理解(18)含答案详解【题文】Philosophers from Aristotle to the Beatles have argued that money does not buy happiness. But it seems to help. Since 2005,Gallup, a pollster (民意调查) has asked a representative sample of adults from countries across the world to rate their life satisfaction on a scale from zero to ten. The headline result is clear : the richer the country, on average, the higher the level of self-reported happiness. The simple correlation (相关性) suggests that doubling GDP per person lifts life satisfaction by about 0.7 points.Yet the prediction that as a country gets richer, its mood will improve has an unclear record. In 1974 Richard Easterlin, an economist, discovered that average life satisfaction in America had failed to develop between 1946 and 1970 even as GDP per person had grown by 65% over the same period. He went on to find a similar disconnection in other places, too. Although income is correlated with happiness when looking across countries—and although economic downturns are reliable sources of short-term suffering—long-term GDP growth does not seem to be enough to turn the average frown (皱眉) upside-down.The “Easterlin paradox (悖论)” has been hotly debated since, with some economists claiming to find a link between growth and rising happiness by using better quality data. On March 20th the latest Gallup data were presented in the World Happiness Report, an annual UN-backed study. The new data provide some evidence for both sides of the debate, but on the whole, suggest that the paradox is alive and well.There are important examples of national income and happiness rising and falling together. The most significant—in terms of population—is China, where GDP per person has doubled over a decade, while average happiness has risen by 0.43 points. Among rich countries, Germany enjoys higher incomes and greater cheer than ten years ago. Venezuela, once the fifth-happiest country in the world, has become miserable as its economy has collapsed. Looking across countries, growth is correlated with rising happiness.Yet that correlation is very weak. Of the 125 countries for which good data exist, 43 have seen GDP per person and happiness move in opposite directions. Like China, India is a populous developing economy that is growing quickly. But hap piness is down by about 1.2 points in the past decade. America, the subject of Easterlin’s first study, has again seen happiness fall as the economy has grown. In total, the world’s population looks roughly equally divided between places where happiness and incomes have moved in the same direction over the past ten years, and places where they have separated.68. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Economic downturns do not cause people’s unhappiness.B. Economic growth increased average life satisfaction in America.C. Long-term GDP growth does not necessarily make people happy.D. The correlation between people’s mood and income can be predicted.69. Which of the following countries has both a better economy and happier people?A. India.B. America.C. Venezuela.D. China.70. The passage is mainly developed by__________.A. giving explanationsB. presenting research dataC. giving definitionD. listing examples71. Which of the following does the writer probably agree with?A. The relationship between economic growth and rising happiness is uncertain.B. Countries with similar population tend to have more things in common.C. Half of the world enjoys growth when economy and mood are positive.D. National income and happiness will always rise and fall regularly.【答案】68. C 69. D 70. B 71. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇议论文。

The thought of getting my hands dirty in the field never seemed interesting to me. I saw it as a boring and repetitive task. But I knew potential graduate schools would likely view my lack of field experience as a hole in my application letter. My mother also thought I should work for a few years to explore my interests before pursuing further education. So I decided to apply for field-based summer positions after graduation.After landing a job assessing the sage grouse habitat in Utah, I found myself in the company of Sherel, a 75-year-old botanist and the leader of our field crew. On the very first day of the fieldwork, I noticed a special plant on the field. “Wonderful! Looks like you’ve got a Mahonia repens,” Sherel shouted exci tedly. I gently touched the plant with yellow flowers by my feet, “This one here? How can you tell it’s a Mahonia?” He paused briefly to admire the plant and then began his energetic description of the plant’s typical features. That evening, while we were watching the sunset together, I texted my childhood friend. “Day I was actually kind of fun,” I started, “but we’ll see how long it takes before I get bored from just identifying plants in the field all day.”But as the weeks of fieldwork rolled by, the boredom I had expected never arrived. I came home from the field each night with sore legs and a sunburned neck, excited by the day’s finds. By picking Sherel’s brain about different species of animals and plants, I discovered field days are about much more than identification. Each day is an opportunity to learn a little bit more. When the summer was over, I found myself in another field job, this time surveying forest in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.I’m now a third-year Ph. D. student in ecology. Fieldwork may be buggy, wet, and physically demanding, but working with others helps keep spirits high and the physical activity helps me stay sharp. And it constantly reminds me that any task can present an opportunity to learn — as long as I am open to it.19. Why did the author join the fieldwork in Utah?A.To find out overall trends in data. B.To assess the sage grouse habitat. C.To improve his application letter. D.To realize his mother’s dream.20. On the first day of the fieldwork in Utah, the author ______.A.argued with Sherel B.complained to his friend C.became a leader of his group D.discovered a Mahonia repens21. What does the author think of fieldwork now?A.Easy but interesting. B.Boring but fruitful.C.Tiring but meaningful. D.Repetitive but demanding.22. What can we learn from the passage?A.We should explore fun in daily tasks. B.We should be open to new experiences.C.We should respect the people around us. D.We should be determined about our goals.An AI model can be used to detect stress in office workers based on how they use their mouse and keyboard. A new study suggests that a machine-learning model using these two elements was more accurate at detecting stress in people than a model that tracked their heart-rate data.“We saw that the models that just used the mouse and keyboard data performed better than the models that had the heart-rate data in it,” says Mart Naegelin. a Ph. D. student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, and one of the study’s authors.Naegelin and her fellow researchers used machine-learning models to analyze data on keyboard-typing activity, mouse movements and heart-rate data. They also studied the data of a combination of two or all three of these elements to determine which performed best in terms of measuring stress. They found that the model trained on mouse and keyboard data performed better than the model that used mouse, keyboard and heart rates. Of the single-modality (形态) models, the heart-rate data performed the worst. “The test was conducted in an environment that simulated an office environment, so the results still need to be confirmed in real-life scenarios (情况),” Naegelin says.In the experiment, participants were divided into three groups. A control group carried out assigned tasks, such as planning meetings and collecting data, with no additional work. A second group at times answered questions from managers in person in a mock interview scenario while completing other assigned tasks. And members of a third group were, at certain points, interrupted with additional questions sent through anonline chat on top of tasks assigned to other groups. At regular intervals during the experiment, participants were asked to rate their stress levels through a computer questionnaire.Researchers learned that workers made longer, less accurate movements with their mouse, as well as more typing errors, when they were stressed. Shorter, more direct movements with the mouse were tied to lower stress levels. The study didn’t focus on why increased levels of stress are thought to affect muscle activity.The researchers say they believe a stress-detection system that logs keyboard and mouse movements might be beneficial as a self-help tool for employees alongside other initiatives to improve workplace mental health. But employee participation would need to be optional and based on informed consent (同意), and companies would need to commit to protecting user privacy.It remains to be seen how this technology will evolve and be adopted in practice, but the potential for AI to contribute positively to employee well-being is an appealing avenue for future exploration.23. What do we know from Naegelin’s study?A.Heart-rate data has little connection with stress.B.Mouse and keyboard data proves effective in stress detection.C.Mouse data performs worst in measuring stress among all models.D.Using more elements in a model increases accuracy in stress detection.24. What is Paragragh 5 mainly about?A.The research process. B.The research findings.C.The research purpose. D.The research background.25. What can we learn from the passage?A.AI models based on mouse and keyboard data have been widely applied. B.Naegelin’s study explains why muscle activity can affect stress levels. C.Employers need to respect employees’ privacy while detecting stress.D.A stress-detection system improves physical health at the workplace.26. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A.To introduce a new model to detect stress.B.To compare different models in stress detection.C.To show the disadvantages of being overstressed.D.To state the importance of a stress-detection system.Frozen in time, a 125-million-year-old mammal attacking a dinosaur. A 39-million-year-old whale, the heaviest animal that ever lived. The oldest known jellyfish, from 505 million years ago. Paleontology (古生物学) produces newsworthy discoveries.Fossils (化石), moreover, provide direct evidence for the long history of life, allowing paleontologists to test hypotheses (假设) about evolution with data only they provide. They allow investigation of present and past life on Earth. Flows of biological diversity, appearances of new life forms and the extinctions of long existing ones, would go undiscovered without these efforts. But the headlines over exciting new fossils greatly underestimate the true importance of paleontology. Its real significance lies in how such discoveries brighten the grand history of life on Earth. From its beginnings, more than three billion years ago, to the present day, fossils record how life adapted or disappeared in the face of major environmental challenges.Paleontologists provide us with a unique vantage on modern climate change. They play an essential role in interpreting ancient environments, in reconstructing ancient oceans, continents and climates. Fossils provide key limitation on the climate models that are essential for predicting future climate change. And the fossil record gives important insights into how life will respond to predicted future climate conditions, because these have occurred before in Earth’s history.In addition, paleontology has provided a fundamental contribution to human thought: the reality of species extinction and thus of a world that has dramatically changed over time. In documenting the history of life, paleontologists recognized that many extinction episodes could occur suddenly, such as the event 66 million years ago that ended the dinosaurs. The search for the causes of past mass extinctions started pioneering studies from across the scientific spectrum (科学界), focusing on potential future threats to humanity.Not only do paleontologists know what happens to life when things go bad, they also know how long it takes for ecosystems and biodiversity to recover from these disasters, which can take far longer than modern humans have existed.Paleontologists thus provide a unique perspective on the nature and future long-term ecological impact of the current human-produced biodiversity crisis, the so-called Sixth Extinction, and therefore the importance of protecting modern biodiversity. The very concept of a Sixth Extinction would not exist without paleontologists documenting the first five.Paleontologists know that understanding life’s past is critical to anticipating and adapt ing to life’s and humanity’s future. Paleontology is important because it brings its unique and critical perspective to current challenges in climate change, biodiversity loss and the environment. Paleontologists can predict the future because they know the past.27. The first two paragraphs are written to _______.A.describe an event B.raise a questionC.present an opinion D.make a comparison28. What does the underlined word “vantage” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.A positive effect. B.A valuable suggestion.C.A quick decision. D.A comprehensive view.29. Which of the following would the author agree with?A.Ecological recovery takes shorter than imagined.B.Past lessons can help to predict the future threats.C.Paleontologists can handle the biodiversity crisis.D.Fossil studies focus on the causes of mass extinctions.30. What’s the best title for the passage?A.Paleontology: A Pioneering StudyB.Paleontology: A History RecorderC.Paleontology Tells More About Nature Than HumansD.Paleontology Is Far More Than New Fossil Discoveries三、选词填空31.
