But it’s still unusual to find women doing dirty or heavy jobs. Nikki Henriques is a car maintenance engineer in London. She used to be a secretary. Barty Philips, a journalist with “The Observer”, a Sunday newspaper, asked her why she wanted to work with cars.“My first reason was independence(独立),” she said. “I also wanted to use my hands, and I like learning about how things work. Many people prefer to have a woman repair their cars, too.”Nikki didn’t find it easy to become a car maintenance engineer. She went to aGovernment Skill Centre—a special sort of college where people can learn a new job for twenty weeks. “For ten weeks I was the only woman among four hundred men, and some of them were rude to me. It was also very tiring—from 8 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon, with only 30 minutes for lunch.”Now Nikki works free-lance, that is, she’s self-employed, working for herself and not for a garage or a company.Barty Phillips also spoke to Rose, who works as a general builder in Sheffield, an industrial town in the north of England. Like Nikki, Rose used to be a secretary. “I didn’t enjoy it at all.” she said. “I wanted to do more practical work, and I wanted to be self-employed.”Rose joined a women’s building co-operative, and she learnt her job from other people and from experience. However, many of the women in her group have been specially trained. Most of the jobs they do are improvements to buildings and general repairs.“People often say, ‘Oh, women aren’t strong enough,’ but I don’t think strength is important.” said Rose, “The important thing is to get us ed to doing a different sort of work.”Rose would like more women to come into the building industry. “Everything built at the moment is a product of man’s world. If women become builders, they will be able to understand the production of their house an d their towns.”59. There are laws in Britain to help women _____.A. get higher pay than menB. enjoy more freedom than menC. do whatever they like to doD. have equal chances with men in education and work60. The job of a car maintenance engineer is to _____.A. make carsB. sell carsC. repair carsD. keep cars for others61. According to Rose, a woman wishing to be a general builder _____.A. must be specially trainedB. should be strong enoughC. can learn her job either from others or by experienceD. must get used to doing a different sort of work62. The best title for this passage might be _____.A. Nikki Henriques, a car maintenance engineerB. Rose, a General Builder in ShefieldC. Women at WorkD. British Women参考答案 59—62 DCDC阅读理解------CThings you need to know about studying thereStudy styleSince the 1950s, the Netherlands has had courses in English especially for foreign students. Students are expected to be critical of what they read and hear, and to be able of working independently. Foreign students will soon notice that at Dutch institutions for higher learning people are expected to do a lot of talking. The most common form of teaching is the seminar or working group, where a small group of students work under a teacher’s supervision to analyze（分析）a certain problem. On exams, they have to show that they know the material, and that they have formed well-founded opinions on the subject.Accommodations（住宿）If you are in an exchange programme or an international course, it is quite possible that a room will be arranged for you. Accept it immediately, or you will regret it later. That’s because finding a place to live in a country as crowded as the Netherlands is not easy.Before you leave China, ask your host institution whether or not housing will indeed be arranged in advance. If you are in the Netherlands and still looking for a place, ask the international relations office or the student dean for advice. ExpencesTuition: （学费）Bachelor’s degree：about 2,500 euros a yearMaster’s degree: 5,000-12,000 euros a yearLiving expenses:Experience has shown that a year in the Netherlands costs a ChineseStudent about 450-700 euros a month.Here is a breakdown of average prices of supermarket goods:Litre of milk: 0.5—0.8 euroKilo of apples: 1.5 eurosShampoo, 400ml: 4 eurosTube of toothpaste: 1 euroBed sheet: 20 eurosOther expenses:Haircut: 15 eurosAir ticket to China: 600-800 eurosMobile phone call(one minute): 0.1-0.3 euroPhone call to China (with IP card): 7 euros(one minute)Postage stamp in the Netherlands: 0.39 euroStamp for China: 0.78 euro(1 euro-about 10 yuan)TransportationTrains, buses and trams run throughout the country.If you really want to sample Dutch life, and get around quickly and easily, buy yourself a bicycle. Most students buy second-hand bicycles. A reasonable one will cost you 70-120 euros.You can find them at second-hand bicycle shops or at the bicycle parking facilities near railway stations.63．Teachers want foreign students to do much talking and analyzing in order to make themA．get higher marks B．pass exams easierC．be able to work independently D．get in close touch with each other 64．The passage implies that .A．it is easier to find a room in NetherlandsB．it is difficult to find a room in NetherlandsC．your host institution will surely find a room for youD．the international relations office can find a room for you65．It costs at least a year for a Master degree.A．104,000 yuan B．104,000 euros C．174,000 yuan D．134,000 euros 66．Most students ride second-hand bicycles mainly because .A．they can ride them fast and easilyB．bicycles are safe and comfortable for ridingC．bicycles are convenient and easy to parkD．bicycles are convenient and cheap参考答案 63—66CBAD阅读理解----AWords：331 难度系数：★★建议用时：7分钟Washington (Reuters)—People who drink two or more sweetened soft drinks a week have a much higher risk of pancreatic cancer (胰腺癌)，an unusual but deadly cancer，researchers reported on Monday.People who drank mostly fruit juice instead of sodas did not have the same risk，the study of 60,000 people in Singapore found.Sugar may be to blame but people who drink sweetened sodas regularly often have otherpoor health habits，said Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota，who led the study.“The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level of insulin (胰岛素) in the body，which we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell growth，” Pereira said in a statement.Writing in the journal Cancer Epidemiology，Biomarkers& Prevention，Pereira and his colleagues said they followed 60,524 men and women in the Singapore Chinese Health Study for 14 years.Over that time,140 of the volunteers developed pancreatic cancer.Those who drank two or more sweetened soft drinks a week had an 87 percent higher risk of being among those who got pancreatic cancer.Pereira said he believed the findings would apply elsewhere.“Singapore is a wealthy country with excellent healthcare.Favorite pastimes (消遣)are eating and shopping，so the findings should apply to other Western countries，”he said.But Susan Mayne of the Yale Cancer Center at Yale University in Connecticut was cautious.“Although this study found a risk，the finding was based on a relatively small number of cases and it remains unclear whether it is a causal (因果的)connection or not，” said Mayne，who serves on the board of the journal，which is published by the American Association for Cancer Research.Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer，with 230,000 cases globally.In the United States,37,680 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in a year and 34,290 die of it.【解题导语】华盛顿路透社报道。

2014高考英语阅读理解抓分练习题（38）及答案科普知识型阅读理解(二)(一)Plants have family values, too, it seems, with new research suggesting they can recognize close relatives in order to work together.An ability to tell family from strangers is well known in animals, allowing them to cooperate and share resources, but plants may possess similar social skills, scientists believe.Susan Dudley and Amanda File of McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, report they have demonstrated for the first time that plants can recognize their kin.This suggests that plants, though lacking recognition and memory, are capable of complex social interactions.“Plants have this kind of hidden but complicated soc ial life，” Dudley said.The study found plants from the same species of beachdwelling wildflower grew aggressively alongside unrelated neighbors but were less competitive when they shared soil with their families.Sea rocket, a North American species, showed stronger and healthier root growth when planted in pots with strangers than when raised with relatives from the same maternal(母系的) family, the study found.This is an example of kin selection, a behavior common in animals in which closely related individuals take a group approach to succeeding in their environment, the researchers said.Kin selection also applies to competition, because if family members compete less with each other, the group will do better overall. “Everywhere you look, plants are growing right up next to other plants，” Dudley said，“ Usually it’s a case of each plant for itself. But sometimes those plants are related, and there are benefits to not wasting resources on being competitive, and there is not really a cost to not being compe titive as long as your neighbor is also not being competitive.”Learning and memory appear to be important for kin recognition in animals, but this isn’t an option for plants, she noted.Some researchers speculate(猜测) that plants communicate through their roots, identifying themselves using tiny chemical signatures specific to each plant’s family.( )6.What’s the main idea of the message?A．Studies find plants can recognize, communicate with relatives.B．Kin selection is important for plants.C．Animals can recognize and memorize their relatives.D．Competition asks plants to recognize their relatives.( )7.Which of the following is NOT right about animals’ social skill?A．Animals can recognize and memorize their relatives.B．Animals’ social skill is to coop erate and share resources.C．Animals’ social skill can recognize close relatives in order to work together.D．Animals’ social skill is no use at all.( )8.Plants’ kin selection is to ________.A．grow well B．compete with other kinds of plants C．strengthen the relationship among siblings D．find which one is the best ( )9.From the passage，we learn that ________.A．sea rocket is a South American speciesB．sea rocket grows aggressively alongside unrelated neighborsC．sea rocket grows aggressively alongside its siblingsD．sea rocket is a kind of bush without flowers( )10.How can the plants communicate with each other according to experts’ suppose?A．Plants communicate by using tiny chemical signatures specific t o each plant’s family.B．Plants communicate with each other through their roots.C．Plants communicate with each other by their leaves.D．Plants communicate with each other with their flowers.(一)本文是科普说明文。
高考英语阅读理解抓分训练题(37)
2014高考英语阅读理解抓分训练题（37）及答案阅读理解It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross’s campaign for a total ban on allanti-personnel landmines. Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the World were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. “I knew the statistics,” she said. “But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like When I met Sandra, a 13-year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her.”The Princess concluded, with a simple message: “We must stop landmines”. And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an, attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as “veryill-informed” and a “loose cannon (乱放炮的人).”The Princess responded by brushing aside the cr iticisms: “This is a distraction (干扰) we do not need. All I’m trying to do is help.”Opposition parties, the media and the Public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princ ess’s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government’s policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government.To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkind, claimed that the Princess’s views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was “working towards” a worldwide ban. The Defense Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was “a misinterpretation or misunderstanding.”For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landminescan cause. She said that the experience had also given her the Chance to get closer to people and their problems.1、. Princess Diana paid a visit to Angola in 1997 ________.A. to voice her support for a total ban of landminesB. to clarify the British government’s stand on la ndminesC. to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims thereD.to establish her image as a friend of landmine victims2、. What did Diana mean when she said “... putting a face to those figuresbrought the reality home to me” (Line 5, Para. 1)?A. She just couldn’t bear to meet the landmine victims face to face.B. The actual situation in Angola made her feel like going back home.C.Meeting the landmine victims in person made her believe the statistics.D.Seeing the pain of the victims made her realize the seriousness of the situation.3、. What did Princess Diana think of her visit to Angola?A.It had caused embarrassment to the British government.B. It had brought her closer to the ordinary people.C.It had greatly promoted her popularity.D. It had affected her relations with the British government.4、. How did Diana respond to the criticisms?A.

Instead,plants produce volatile compounds，chemicals that easily change from a liquid to a gas. A flower’ s sweet smell, for example, comes from volatile compounds that the plant produces to attract insects such as bugs and bees.Plants can also detect volatile compounds produced by other plants.A tree under attack by hungry insects, for instance, may give off volatile compounds that let other trees know about the attack. In response, the other trees may send off chemicals to keep the bugs away —or even chemicals that attract the bugs’ natural enemies.Now scientists have created a quick way to understand what plants are saying: a chemical sensor(传感器quickly detect whether plants are being eaten by insects. But today the only way to detect such insects is to visually inspect individual plants. This is a challenging task for managers of greenhouses ，enclosed gardens that can house thousands of plants.the device, 13 sensors chemically react with volatile compounds. Based on theseusing computer software.To test the nose, the team presented it with healthy leaves from cucumber, pepper and tomato plants, all common greenhouse crops. Then the scientists collected samples of air around damaged leaves from each type of crop. These plants had been damaged by insects, or by scientists who made holes in the leaves with a hole punch (打孔器)．，pepper and tomato plants based on the volatile compounds they produce. It could also identify tomato leaves that had been damaged. But even more impressive, the device could tell which type of damage — by insects or with a hole punch — had been done to the tomato leaves.，to quickly spot harmful bugs, the researchers say. A device like this could also be used to identify fruits that are perfectly ripe and ready to pick and eat, says Natalia Dudareva, a biochemist at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. who studies smellsof flowers and plants. Hopefully, scientists believe, the device could bring large benefits to greenhouse managers in the near future.【文章大意概括】植物会说话吗？植物如何“交流”？本文中的科学家们正在尝试用来测试植物受到伤害时的反应。

2014高考英语阅读理解抓分练习精品（10）及答案LEEDS, England—A Leeds University psychology professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies."The hate we hold within us is a cancer, " Professor Ken Hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.More than 70 people have become members in Hart's first 20-week workshop in London—a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian- born Hart.The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight.The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. "People have lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness," he said, "People confuse forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one."Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed."The main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with," said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people "want to get free of the past".36. From this passage we know that________.A. high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hateB. high blood pressure can only be cured by psychology professorsC. without hate, people will have less trouble connected with blood and heartD. people who suffer from blood pressure and heart disease must have many enemies 【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。

（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套（带答案）及解析（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解One of the biggest problems when we are talking is the awkward silence. Encountering this situation is so uncomfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the past, I struggled wit h this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something… But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you would otherwise have missed out on.After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and found that one of these common behaviors is the habit of filtering (过滤)--holding back from saying something until you've "checked" to make sure that what you're about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you don't know how to change from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. It's fun to realize that you're allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you don't say anything that could land you in jail (监狱).All of the "Oh! That's interesting…" "Hmm, I've never heard of that" "Hmm, cool!" expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that you're really listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, they'll hang around and want to talk to you even more.Everyone knows that stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if it's not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the harder they are to forget.（1）If people can deal with the awkward silence, they can .A. train their working skillB. improve their life qualityC. enrich their social lifeD. establish their working relationship（2）When talking with others, we should .A. feel nervousB. think twiceC. be free to expressD. avoid breaking in （3）According to the passage, what do the speakers care much about?A. The attractive topics of conversation.B. The atmosphere of the conversation.C. The listener's experiences and tastes.D. The listener's curiosity and concern.（4）What does the underlined part "juice-up conversations" mean?A. making conversations more boringB. making conversations livelierC. making conversations smootherD. making conversations more relaxing【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文本文是一篇议论文，我们谈话时最大的问题之一是尴尬的沉默。

I had minutes to either take the cheese bun, which nobody else was claiming(as a passenger probably dropped it by mistake and got off at a previous stop), or leave it there and hope that it didn’t go towaste.
