A Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members. However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions Who choose your friends Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like Your answers are welcome. 25.

Her heart was pretty bad in the beginning and she stayed in the hospital for a month. The first few years were very difficult because she was very sick. She had five operations before she was three years old. She had trouble walking ,playing with other children, and going to school. Although Gina couldn’t laugh and talk, we all knew that she just needed love and care. Our parents wanted to take Gina to a special place in Florida where she could swim with dolphins. Gina was afraid of swimming with them because she had never been around dolphins before. We had also never traveled that far as a family. When we got to Florida, we saw where the dolphins lived. It was a place where kids with special needs like Gina could come and spend time .I thought it was going to be a vacation, but it wasn’t . Gina had to work hard every day for a week. The trip was amazing .Gina laughed and clapped（拍手） when she saw the dolphin, and the dolphin splashed (溅起水花) when it saw Gina. They swam together all day. Gina was able to move her body more than she normally did at home. Mom and dad were proud of Gina .I was ,too. 21．We know from the text that Gina _____ A．experienced five operations in a month. B．got along well with other children C. stayed in the hospital before three . D. was born with a heart disease 22．How did Gina feel about swimming with dolphins at first A．Excited B．Frightened C．Angry D．Proud 23．The text is written to tell us that_____ A．learning to walk is hard work. B．dolphins can treat many illness C．families should travel together often D．help sometimes comes in unusual form C If you want to become a fluent English speaker, you should take some advice :there are four skills in learning English. They are listening ,speaking ,reading and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening. Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences ,the meaning of the unfamiliar words ,etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar---or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it. As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading ,you can listen every day for
英语阅读理解六篇及答案
英语阅读理解六篇及答案第一篇Long ago men learned that the world of nature is built with mathematical exactness according to refined and powerful laws; every bee stokes its wings exactly 440 times a second to propel itself forty miles an hour; the eye of every fly has exactly 7,000 lenses; every spider’s thread is composed of 300 single threads.The progress of civilization itself can be measured by its range of mathematics. The early Egyptians know enough of geometry to build the pyramids and the Greeks used trigonometry to measure the circumference of the earth two thousand years before Columbus sailed. European civilization combined geometry and trigonometry with the decimal system of the Arabs to produce the maps with which the European explored the world. In a later century, mathematicians studied the pendulum(钟摆) of the newly invented clock and created the language of calculus to measure motion.The yardstick of measurement today must cover everything from units tinier than atoms to distance of millions of light years. Speed and accuracy are vital. Man can never send a rocket to Mars unless he knows the exact distanceto the planet. Since the slightest error could mean missing it by 30,000 miles. In navigating amid the planets and stars, man must have the help of some kind of machine calculators for fast and absolutely accurate information.1.The author shows how the exactness of nature’s laws is reflected in _____.A.the language of calculusB.the measurement of motionC.the creatures of natureD.the progress of civilization2.How is the second paragraph developed?A.By contrast.B.By classification.C.By making assumption.D.By giving example.3.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.standardB.accuracyC.methodD.process4.What can be inferred from the text?A.In ancient times people knew nothing about mathematics.B.The power of nature used to have a great influence on man.C.Progress in civilization demands ever better mathematical tools.D.Technology plays an important role in information collection.5.Where does the passage most probably come from?A.A new report.B.A book review.C.A science magazine.D.A maths textbook.第二篇Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time. If being corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s.In the same way, children learn to walk, run and whistle without being taught. They compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes.But in school we teachers never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do all for him; as we act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him do it himself, let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it.If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in math or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such work? Our job should be to help the child learn how to measure his own understanding.The idea that there is a lot of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is out of date in such a complicated and rapidlychanging world. Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose then they fail to learn something necessary they will fail to get on in the world.” Don’t worry, they will go out into the world and learn it. Children will surely obtain more achievements as they grow up.1.Children improve themselves gradually by _____ and making comparisons.A.putting forward a planB.observing what others doC.asking teachers for helpD.giving advice to others2.The test suggests that learning to talk and learning to whistle are _____.A.not as useful as other skillsB.more practical than other skillsC.two basic and crucial learning skillsD.basically the same as learning other skills3.According to the text, it is NOT proposed to _____.A.offer the children some answer booksB.allow children to judge their own workC.point out children’s mistakes to them all the timeD.encourage children to work out with the help of others4.When students are checking science papers, teachers should _____.A.ask them to copy the answers downB.spend much time telling them the answersC.let them correct papers and help them outD.make some comments on a child5.The underlined “it” probably means _____ in the last paragraph.A.how to get along with othersB.how to help others in needC.how to make much moneyD.how to acquire practical skills第三篇Alibaba and Amazon already dominate the business of selling stuff online in their home markets. Increasingly, they are competing against each other on neutral ground. Both are spending billions of dollars on Asia—particularly Southeast Asia and India—as they look for a place that could repeat China’s explosive transformation into the world’s biggest online shopping market.Amazon has committed $5 billion to India, where it lures customers to sign up for its Prime service, which includes Western movies and television shows, for a small fraction of the $99 annual membership price in the United States. Alibaba has invested roughly 5500 million for stakes in both Paytm—India's largest mobile payments platform—and its e-commerce affiliate Paytm Mall.Alibaba’s bigger bet is in Southeast Asia. It has spent more than $2 billion to take control of Lazada, a five-year-old online shopping company based in Singapore and doing business in six countries. Last year, Lazada bought RedMart, the online retail grocery. But Southeast Asia is not China. A diffuse area of 600 million people, the region is divided by politics, language and culture. Some places are modem, like Singapore, other places lack the roads and other infrastructure to get people what they need. “It’s a mix of urban, semi-urban and rural areas, separated by large distances and—in thePhilippines and Indonesia—by water,” said Mike Booker, a partner at the Southeast Asian am of Bain. “Cash on delivery is still prevalent, and other local players are in the fray,” The challenges have forced Lazada, Aliaba’s biggest Southeast Asian operation, to get creative.In Vietnam, local post offices take customer returns and give cash refund. In Malaysia, customers can collect merchandise from lockers at 7·Eleven stores. And in the Philippines, Lazada uses gas station, a places where merchants can drop of their goods, for delivery personnel to pick up. “We’re in the super, super, super early days,” said Inanc Balci, who oversees Lazada operation in the Philippines.Alibaba’s international arm has seen its latest quarterly sales more than double in a year, in part from Lazada’s contribution. Still Lazada and its RedMart subsidiary remain a tiny and unprofitable part of Alibaba’s empire. Max Bittner, Lazada’s chief executive, said its Chinese parent has been willing to spend money to build is delivery capabilities and draw more customers. “E-commerce is an economy of scale game,” Mr. Bittner said. “I don’t feel constrained in any way. I can go after this opportunity with the amount of firepower Inced.”Amazon so far counts Singapore as i only Southeast Asian market, though industry experts widely expect it will expand into other countries, an Amazon spokeswoman declined to comment.Until recently, direct competition between Alibaba and Amazon has been rare. Amazon has modest presence in China. Alibaba sells goods in the United States through its AliExpress platform but has backed away from further expansion efforts.Southeast Asia could offer test of their vastly different business models on neutral turf.Amazon owns more of the inventory it sells. By contrast, most of Lazada’s sales come from outside vendors who use its platform as a digital middleman to reach customers. That approach, which keeps costs low, is similar to what Alibaba does in China. But in China, the company’s Taobao platform has been accused of offering counterfeit goods. Alibaba says it is working to fight fakes. Alibaba has a long lead over Amazon and is building up its infrastructure across Southeast Asia. In Indonesia, for example, it took a minority stake in August in another online marketplace, Tokopedia. Experts say Amazon could fight hack by offering online Western movies and television programs as it does in the United States, which could increase its appeal with younger customers.Amazon stumbled in Singapore initially when the service proved too popular, forcing it to turn away customers. But since then the two companies have amped up their efforts to deliver more quickly to a growing group of customers, competing in the market is likely to be expensive, thanks to customer price cuts and rebates in addition to expansion costs.1.Based on this report, Amazon ______.A.depends more on oversea suppliers than AlibabaB.had a smooth going in Singapore at the first timeC.paid more for investment than Alibaba in IndiaD.is determined to expand into other countries2.There are many challenging factors for Lazada, except for ______.A.local competitionB.powerful cohesionC.infrastructure constructionD.various cultures3.In Southeast Asia, ______.A.it is very popular for people to pay by cash when receiving their parcelsB.ecommerce has reached its culminationC.Alibaba is second to AmazonD.market-competing is far from expensive4.Mr. Bittner’s attitude towards the development of E-commerce is ______.A.aspiringB.disappointedC.doubtfulD.neutral5.The best title for this report may be ______.A.The Flourish of E-commerce in Southeast Asia and IndiaB.The Time for Amazon and AlibabaC.A New War for E-commerceD.A Shown down Brews Amazon and Alibaba, Far from Home第四篇The establishment of the Third Reich influenced events in American history by starting a chain of events which culminated in war between Germany and the United States. The compete destruction of democracy, the persecution of Jews, the war on religion, the cruelty and barbarism of the Nazis, and especially the plans of Germany and her allies, Italy and Japan, for world conquest caused great indignation in this country and brought on fear of another world war. While speaking out against Hitler’s atrocities, the American people generally favored isolationist policies and neutrality. The Neutrality Acts of 1935 and 1936 prohibited trade with any belligerents or loans to them. In 1937 the President was empowered to declare an arms embargo in wars between nations at his discretion.American opinion began to change somewhat after President Roosevelt’s “quarantine the aggressor” speech at Chicago(1937) in which he severely criticized Hitler’s policies. Germany’s seizure of Austria and the Munich Pact for the partition of Czechoslovakia(1938) also aroused the American people. The conquest of Czechoslovakia in March, 1939, was another rude awakening to the menace of the Third Reich. In August, 1939, came the shock of the Nazi-soviet Pact and in September the attack on Poland and the outbreak of European war. The United States attempted to maintain neutrality in spite ofsympathy for the democracies arrayed against the Third Reich. The Neutrality Act of 1939 repealed the arms embargo and permitted “cash and carry” exports of arms to belligerent nations. A strong national defense program was begun. A draft act was passed(1940) to strengthen the military services. A Lend-Lease Act(1941) authorized the President to sell, exchange, or lend materials to any country deemed necessary by him for the defense of the United States. Help was given to Britain by exchanging certain overage destroyers for the right to establish American bases in British territory in the Western Hemisphere. In August, 1940, President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill met and issued the Atlantic Charter which proclaimed the kind of a world which should be established after the war. In December, 1941, Japan launched the unprovoked attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor. Immediately thereafter, Germany declared war on the United States.1.One item occurring before 1937 that the author does not mention in his list of actions that alienated the American public was _____.A.the burning of the Reichstag.B.German plans for conquest.C.Nazi barbarism.D.the persecution of religious groups.2.The Lend-Lease Act was designed to _____.A.help the British.B.strengthen the national defense of the United States.C.promote the Atlantic Charter.D.avenge Pearl Harbor.3.American Policy during the years 1935-1936 may be described as being _____.A.watchfulB.isolationistC.peacefulD.indifferent4.The Neutrality Act of 1939 _____.A.permitted the selling of arms to belligerent nations.B.antagonized Japan.C.permitted the British to trade only with the Allies.D.led to Lend-Lease Act.5.We entered the war against Germany _____.A.because Germany declared war.B.because Japan was an ally of Germany.C.after Germany had signed the Nazi-soviet Pact.D.after peaceful efforts had failed.第五篇We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class."You could win prizes," our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, "The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster."We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. I'm going to spend mine on candies, one hopeful would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich.Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer's attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students' desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grownup trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of usbelieve we had a fair chance, and then always-always-rewarding the same old winners.I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can't say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in.Minutes passed.No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, What poster? When the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.1.What was the teacher's requirement for the poster?A.It must appear in time.B.It must be done in class.C.It must be done on a construction sheet.D.It must include the words on the blackboard.2.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 most probably means _____.A.formed an idea forB.made an outline forC.made some space forD.chose some colors for3.After the teacher's words, all the students in the class _____.A.looked very seriousB.thought they would be richC.began to think about their designsD.began to play games4.After seeing the good students' designs, some students _____. loved their own designs morethought they had a fair chanceput their own designs in a cornerthought they would not win the prize5.We can infer from the passage that the author _____.A.enjoyed grownup tricks very muchB.loved poster competitions very muchC.felt surprised to win the competitionD.became wise and rich after the competition第六篇Frenchmen attach great importance to education. They regard the cultivation of children as a social obligation. French education mixes warm romantic humor into its careful and severe education. I have ever heard such a story.It took place in an ordinary French family. One day, when the boy was playing basketball, the ball hit a vase off the shelf with its mouth knocked off a large piece. The vase was an antique handed down through generations from Bourbon Dynasty. To cover the great trouble, the boy glued the pieces together and put the vase back to its place panic-stricken.That evening his mother noticed the change on it. At dinnertime, she asked her boy if he had broken the vase. Being scared of punishment, the boy said by a sudden inspiration that a cat jumped in from the window and knocked the vase off the shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before her leaving. However, she just said that it seemed it was her carelessness not to have the window tightly closed.Before going to bed, the boy found a note on his bed, on which he was asked to go to the study. The boy had thought he had gotten by under the false pretences, but then felt he couldn’t dodge the misfortune. Now that he hadalready lied, he made up his mind no matter what his mother said, he would disavow to the end.On seeing her son enter in fear, his mother took out a chocolate box and gave one piece of the chocolates to her son. “Baker, this chocolate is a reward for you, for you created a cat with your special imagination. ” Then, she put another chocolate in his hand. “This chocolate is a reward for your ability to restore. But the glue you used is for restoring paper materials; to restore a vase needs higher special technique. Tomorrow, let’s bring the vase to the artists to see how they make a craftwork intact as it was.” With that, she took the third chocolate, “The last chocolate stands for my apology. I shouldn’t have laid a vase in a place where it could so easily fall down. I wish you had not been scared, my little sweetheart.”“But, Mom, I ...” The boy tried to make something clear, but he awkwardly uttered nothing but some words. “Our talk is over. Good night, Baker!” She gave a soft kiss on his forehead and walked out of the study.The following days were the same as before. The only change was that the boy had never told a lie since then.No scolding. It looks unimaginably queer. In fact, the three chocolates are an alarm in the boy’s heart all the time. Sometimes, no punishment itself is a kind of punishment.1.What does the underlined word “dodge” in the 4th paragraph probably mean?A.avoidB.coverC.rescueD.bear2.How did the boy feel when he found the note on his bed?A.DoubtfulB.CalmC.UneasyD.Embarrassed3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The broken vase was beautifully restored.B.The three chocolates served as a reminder.C.The boy’s mother forgot to close the window.D.What the boy said was well prepared and designed.4.What would be the best title for the passage?A.A Beautiful LieB.An Antique VaseC.The French PunishmentD.The Change for the Better5.What does the author intend to tell us?A.Spare the rod and spoil the child.B.Forgiveness with love is a good education.C.An apology is more powerful than a punishment.D.The cultivation of children is parents’ priority.答案1.题干意为“作者展示了自然法则的精确性如何反映在_____中”。

1 We can begin our discussion of ―population as global issue‖with what most persons mean when they discuss ―the populationproblem‖: too many people on earth and a too rapid increase in the number added each year. The facts are not in dispute It wasquite right to employ the analogy that likened demographic growth to ―a long thin powder fuse that burns steadily and haltinglyuntil it finally reaches the charge and explodes.‖To understand the current situation which is characterized by rapid increases in population it is necessary to understand thehistory of population trends. Rapid growth is a comparatively recent phenomenon. Looking back at the 8000 years ofdemographic history we find that populations have been virtually stable or growing very slightly for most of human history.For most of our ancestors life was hard often nasty and very short. There was high fertility in most places but this wasusually balanced by high mortality. For most of human history it was seldom the case that one in ten persons would live pastforty while infancy and childhood were especially risky periods. Often societies were in clear danger of extinction becausedeath rates could exceed their birthrates. Thus the population problem throughout most of history was how to preventextinction of the human race. This pattern is important to notice. Not only does it put the current problems of demographic growth into a historicalperspective but it suggests that the cause of rapid increase in population in recent years is not a sudden enthusiasm for morechildren but an improvement in the conditions that traditionally have caused high mortality. Demographic history can be divided into two major periods: a time of long slow growth which extended from about 8000BC.till approximately AD. 1650. In the first period of some 9600 years the population increased from some 8 million to 500million in 1650. Between 1650 and the present the population has increased from 500 million to more than 4 billion. And it is estimated that by theyear 2000 there will be 6.2 billion people throughout the world. One way to appreciate this dramatic difference in such abstractnumbers is to reduce the time frame to something that is more manageable. Between 8000BC and 1650 an average of only50000 persons was being added annually to the world‘s population each year. At present this number is added every six hours.The increase is about 80000000 persons annually.1.Which of the following demographic growth pattern is B.About 50000 babies are born every six hours at present.most suitable for the long thin powder fuse analogy C.Between 8000 BC and the present the population increaseA.A virtually stable or slightly decreasing period and then a is about 80000000 persons each year.sudden explosion of population. D.The population increased faster between 8000BC andB.A slow growth for a long time and then a period of rapid 1650 than between 1650 and the present.dramatic increase.C.Too many people on earth and a few rapid increase in the 4.The author of the passage intends to___.number added each year. A.warn people against the population explosion in the nearD.A long period when death rates exceeds birthrates and then future.a short period with higher fertility and lower mortality. pare the demographic growth pattern in the past with that after 1650.2.During the first period of demographic history societies C.find out the cause for rapid increase in population in recentwere often in danger of extinction because___. years.A.only one in ten persons could live past 40. D.present us a clear and complete picture of the demographicB.there was higher mortality than fertility in most places. growth.C.it was too dangerous to have babies due to the poorconditions. 5.Theword ―demographic‖in the first paragraph means___.D.our ancestors had little enthusiasm for more children. A.statistics of human. B.surroundings study.3.Whichstatement is true about population increase C.accumulation of human.A.There might be an increase of 2.2 billion persons from D.development of human.now to the year 2000.答案：ABADA 2 Most of us are taught to pay attention to what is said—the words. Words do provide us with some information but meaningsare derived from so many other sources that it would hinder our effectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely too heavilyon words alone. Words are used to describe only a small part of the many ideas we associate with any given message.Sometimes we can gain insight into some of those associations if we listen for more than words. We don‘t always s ay what wemean or mean what we say. Sometimes our words don‘t mean anything except ― I‘m letting off some steam. I don‘t really wantyou to pay close attention to what I‘m saying. Just pay attention to what I‘m feeling.‖Mostly we mean several things at once. Aperson wanting to purchase a house says to the current owner ―This step has to be fixed before I‘ll buy.‖The owner says ― It‘sbeen like that for years.‖Actually the step hasn‘t been like that for years but the unspoken message is: ― I don‘t want to f ix it.We put up with it. Why can‘t you‖The search for a more expansive view of meaning can be developed of examining amessage in terms of who said it when it occurred the related conditions or situation and how it was said. When a message occurs can also reveal associated meaning. Let us assume two couples do exactly the same amount ofkissing and arguing. But one couple always kisses after an argument and the other couple always argues after a kiss. Theordering of the behaviors may mean a great deal more than the frequency of the behavior. A friend‘s unusually docile behaviormay only be understood by noting that it was preceded by situations that required an abnormal amount of assertiveness. Someresponses may be directly linked to a developing pattern of responses and defy logic. For example a person who says ―No‖toa serials of chargeslike ―You‘re dumb‖―You‘re lazy‖and ―You‘re dishonest‖may alsosay ―No‖and try to justify his or herresponse if the next statement is ―And you‘re good looking.‖We would do well to listen for how messages are presented. The words ―If sure has been nice to have you over‖can be saidwith emphasis and excitement or ritualistically. The phrase can be said once or repeated several times. And the meanings weassociate with the phrase will change accordingly. Sometimes if we say something infrequently it assumes more importancesometimes the more we say something the less importance it assumes. 1.Effective communication is rendered possible between C.the condition of the step is only a minor fault.two conversing partners if ___. D.the cost involved in the fixing should be shared.A.they use proper words to carry their ideas.B.they both speak truly of their own feelings. 4.Some responses and behaviors may appear very illogicalC.they try to understand each other‘s ideas beyond words. but are justifiable if___.D.they are capable of associating meaning with their words. A.linked to an abnormal amount of assertiveness. B.seen as one‘s habitual pattern of behavior.2.―I‘m letting off some stea m‖in paragraph 1 means___. C.taken as part of an ordering sequence.A.I‘m just calling your attention. D.expressed to a series of charges.B.I‘m just kidding.C.I‘m just saying the opposite. 5.The word ―ritualistically‖in the last paragraph equalsD.I‘m just giving off some sound. something done___.A.without true intention.3.The house-owner‘s example shows that he actuallyB.light-heartedly.means___.C.in a way of ceremony.A.the step has been like that for years.D.with less emphasis.B.he doesn‘t think it ne cessary to fix the step.答案：DBABC3 A controversy erupted in the scientific community in early 1998 over the use of DNA deoxyribonucleic acid fingerprintingin criminal investigations. DNA fingerprinting was introduced in 1987 as a method to identify individuals based on a patternseen in their DNA the molecule of which genes are made. DNA is present in every cell of the body except red blood cells.DNA fingerprinting has been used successfully in various ways such as to determine paternity where it is not clear who thefather of a particular child is. However it is in the area of criminal investigations that DNA fingerprinting has potentiallypowerful and controversial uses. DNA fingerprinting and other DNA analysis techniques have revolutionized criminal investigations by giving investigatorspowerful new tools in the attempt to trove guilt not just establish innocence. When used in criminal investigations a DNAfingerprint pattern from a suspect is compared with a DNA fingerprint pattern obtained from such material as hairs or bloodfound at the scene of a crime. A match between the two DNA samples can be used as evidence to convict a suspect. The controversy in 1998 stemmed form a report published in December 1991 by population geneticists Richard C.Lewontin of Harvard University in Cambridge Mass. and Daniel L. Hartl called into question the methods to calculate howlikely it is that a match between two DNA fingerprints might occur by chance alone. In particular they argued that the currentmethod cannot properly determine the likelihood that two DNA samples will match because they came from the sameindividual rather than simply from two different individuals who are members of the same ethnic group. Lewontin and Hartlcalled for better surveys of DNA patterns methods are adequate.

But noise ismore than just a nuisance. It constitutes a real and present danger to people‘s health. Day and night at home at work and atplay noise ca n produce serious physical and psychological stress. No one is immune to this stress. Though we seem to adjust tonoise by ignoring it the ear in fact never closes and the body still responds—sometimes with extreme tension as to a strangesound in the night. The annoyance we feel when faced with noise is the most common outward symptom of the stress building up inside us.Indeed because irritability is so apparent legislators have made public annoyance the basis of many noise abatement programs.The more subtle and more serious health hazards associated with stress caused by noise traditionally have been given much lessattention. Nevertheless when we are annoyed or made irritable by noise we should consider these symptoms fair warning thatother thing may be happening to us some of which may be damaging to our health. Of many health hazards to noise hearing loss is the most clearly observable and measurable by health professionals. Theother hazards are harder to pin down. For many of us there may be a risk that exposure to the stress of noise increasessusceptibility to disease and infection. The more susceptible among us may experience noise as a complicating factor in heartproblems and other diseases. Noise that causes annoyance and irritability in health persons may have serious consequences forthese already ill in mind or body. Noise affects us throughout our lives. For example there are indications of effects on the unborn child when mothers areexposed to industrial and environmental noise. During infancy and childhood youngsters exposed to high noise levels mayhave trouble falling asleep and obtaining necessary amounts of rest. Why then is there not greater alarm about these dangers Perhaps it is because the link between noise and many disabilitiesor diseases has not yet been conclusively demonstrated. Perhaps it is because we tend to dismiss .。

一、中考英语阅读理解汇编1．阅读理解Parents can be very important teachers in our lives. However, they are not always the best teachers. Parents may be too close to their children emotionally（情感上）. Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, a teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent.Another problem is that parents may expect their children's interests to be similar to their own.If they love science, they may try to force（强迫） their child to love science, too. But what if their child's true love is art writing, or car repair?Parents usually want to pass on their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they will have different ways of thinking.The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our friends teach us. Books, newspapers and television also teach us.

大学英语六级阅读理解(集锦3篇）大学英语六级阅读理解（1）"I've never met a human worth cloning," says cloning expert M ark Westhusin from the cramped confines of his lab at Texas A&M University. "It's a stupid endeavor." That's an interesting choice of a djective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars tryin g to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two calves and expe ct to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy lat er this year---or perhaps not for another five years. It seems the re productive system of man's best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.Westhusin's experience with cloning animals leaves him vexed b y all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Miss yplicity project, using hundreds upon hundreds of canine eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos carrying Miss y's DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate mother. Th e wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses ma y be acceptable when you're dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. "Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dan gerous," he says.Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice r esearch payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in, 1997, Wes thusin's phone at A&M College of Veterinary Medicinehas been ringing busily. Cost is no obstacle for customers like Missy's mysterious owner, who wishes m remain unknown to protec t his privacy. He's plopped down $3.7 million so far to fund the research because he wants a twin to carry on Missy;s fine q ualities after she dies. But he knows her clone may not have her te mperament. In a statement of purpose, Missy's owners and the A& M team say they are "both looking forward to studying the ways th at her clone differ from Missy."The fate of the dog samples will depend on Westhusin's work. He knows that even if he gets a dog viably pregnant, the offspring, should they survive,大学英语六级阅读理解（2）1.大纲要求六级考试大纲对阅读理解题的要求为：既能理解个别句子的意义，也能理解上下文的逻辑关系；既能理解字面的意思，也能理解隐含的意思；既能理解事实和细节，也能理解所读材料的主旨和大意；能就文章的内容进行判断，推理和信息转换。

（英语）高三英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Finding true love can be prey tough for a lot of people, but a lady from a fairly well-known San Francisco advertising agency seems to think money helps. She is offering $10,000 to any of her friends who can introduce her to her Mr. Right. She wants to find her future husband through this way.The unnamed husband seeker who sent out the email had just finished reading the best-selling book named Lean In. It was 11 p.m. on a Sunday night and she realized this was the second self-help book she had read in the month. She was still single. Things were not looking fine, but there was hope for her still. If the book had taught her anything, it was that she needed to take a more positive role in finding love. After all, if she wanted to get a better job, she wouldn't just sit outside an employer's building and wait for someone to offer it to her, so why should finding a husband be any different? But instead of going out and meeting new people she decided to write an email to all her friends, offering to give them $10,000 on her wedding day if any of them managed to introduce her to her future husband.“I am writing you today because I've decided to make an aggressive action plan on finding the man that I get to hang out with forever,” the woman writes in her email. “Introducing me to my husband is just not high on your to-do list. But I think I have an idea that might change that…” You guessed it, and this is where she offers to reward her “closest friends” with cold hard cash.“I will personally give ten thousand dollars to the friend who introduces me to my husband.”Here is how the program works:Step 1: You set me up on a date with a man.Step 2: I marry that man.Step 3: I give you $10,000 on my wedding day.I know you're thinking that this is nuts. Just plain crazy. 'You can find a husband without giving $10,000.' Well for starters, thank you! I'm happy.”（1）What does the lady offer $10,000 to any of her friends for?A. Celebrating the fact that she has made a decision to find a husband.B. Checking the power of money among her circle of friends.C. Encouraging her friends to help find her Mr. Right.D. Sharing her happiness of having found true love.（2）Wh at does the underlined word “nuts” mean in the last paragraph?A. deliciousB. sensibleC. angryD. foolish（3）What's the purpose of the author's mentioning getting a better job in Paragraph 2?A.

英语阅读理解带翻译10篇：给予Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?”I said yes. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.”像大多数人，我长大看待生命是一个过程获得。

The other person may say,“OK, I’ll meet you at McDonald’s."This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say,“Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Smith’s," or“I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They’re great." This means the person wants to pay for both of you.

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。
