What subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can't sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful（压力大的）."For people who are worried about math, posture （姿势）makes a big difference," Erik Paper from San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. That's right – sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams.Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math exam while sitting in a slumped-over （趴倒的）posture, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.Slumping over is a defensive（戒备的） posture. It can bring about bad memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Paper said.Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily benefit（受益）from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported.Good posture isn't just helpful for taking math exams. Sportspeople, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more certain and focus better.（1）What posture can make people feel less stressed during math exams?A. Sitting up straight.B. Hanging your head.C. Lying on your back.D.

None of the students.（4）The fourth paragraph is written to explain .A. why slumping over makes exams harder to doB. why slumping over is bad for one's healthC. why some people slump over during examsD. why people are nervous during math exams（5）Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.

2．阅读理解Did you take part in a camp this summer? There are so many summer camps and not all of them are the same. To choose which camp is best for you, first you must do a bit of research.Maybe you've never thought about it before, but every great summer camp has the same main goals—opportunity, challenge and growth.Opportunity means you are given a chance to do something special. It also makes you special because other kids don't have the same opportunity. For example, if you are interested in writing, then you can choose to join a journalism （新闻）camp. You may have the opportunity of meeting famous journalists there.Challenge means you are given a task. You must finish the task and succeed in dealing with the challenge. Then you will have a sense of achievement. For example, you could take a lifeguard course at some summer camps. If you pass the exam, then you will receive a certificate （证书）to become a real lifeguard.This also leads to the third and most important goal of very great summer camp—personal growth. It doesn't mean growing taller and stronger or more beautiful. It means seeing yourself improve, learning something new and doing something you didn't know or believe you could do before. It also means becoming more confident in yourself.So in the future when choosing your next summer camp, remember to ask yourself: Is it aspecial opportunity? Is it a challenge? Will I grow?But what about friendship, fun and joy? These will all happen naturally when you have the right goals at summer camps!（1）Which is the writer's opinion?A. Different camps have different goals.B. There are too many summer camps today.C. All great summer camps have the same main goals.D. All the summer camps offer the same activities and courses.（2）According to the passage, a camper feels successful when he ______.A. joins the best campB. finishes a hard taskC. grows taller and strongerD. takes a special chance（3）The most important thing for a camper is to ______.A. take opportunitiesB. grow more beautifulC. become better and more confidentD. learn new life-saving skills（4）What does the last paragraph tell us?A. It's not important to have fun at a camp.B. It's hard to make real friends at a camp.C. You can get more joy with more goals at camp.D. With the right goals, you can have fun while learning at a camp.（5）Which is the best title for the passage?A. What makes a camp great?B. Which is the best goal?C. How to be a successful camper?D. How to do research work?【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）C（4）D（5）C【解析】【分析】大意：本文讲述作者就如何成为一个成功的野营者给出了一些看法，每个好的夏令营都有相同的主要的目标——机会，挑战和成长，让自己一边学到东西一边获得乐趣。

Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life.Mrs Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography, but also won me over with her smile and warm eyes. It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the comfort of the classroom. I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes, the snow-capped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world.Never can I forget the glory of her face when she talks about how truly beautiful this world is. If I search back my love for the environment and geography, I find her to be the source of my love for preserving nature. If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I'll thank her for it. Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students “my children”. Mrs Monaf's morals and values rubbed off me deeply and I have always taken her advice into consideration. She has been one of the most consistently good things in my life.Currently, she is fighting a battle against breast cancer, and it pains me to know that after all she has done for me; I can do nothing for her except pray. Whenever I see her in school, she still keeps that kind smile and an expression so soft that it trembles my heart.

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.

Youth football team members rescued more than two weeks after sudden flooding trapped themin a cave in Thailand are now being well looked after at a hospital in the northern city of Chiang Rai. In addition to treating the boys for potential body fluid loss, inadequate nutrition and lack of oxygen, their doctors also plan to closely monitor them for symptoms of diseases that may have been infected by animals living in the cave."The next step is to make sure those kids and their families are safe, because living in a cave provides a different environment, which might contain animals that could transmit⋯disease," said the local hospital. The boys and their family members have been told to watch for symptoms such as headache, nausea(反胃 ), muscle pain or difficulty breathing, the reports added.Yet based on the location where the boys were trapped—more than four kilometers from thecave complex's main entrance, past some fully submerged passages —and the fact they have been swimming out wearing full scuba face masks, it seems unlikely that they were living with bats inthe cave or breathed in bat-associated bacteria during their rescue, several infectious diseaseexperts said. "It's hard to imagine bats got that deep into the cave because of all those narrowpassageways, but it is possible," says Ian Lipkin, an animal expert and professor at the MailmanSchool of Public Health at Columbia University. "It's unlikely that there would be many animals inthere," notes Jonathan Epstein, a doctor at EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit organization thatstudies diseases and how to prevent them. Bats typically like to rest in areas they can easily enterand exit, not in places that fully flood, he adds.Bats in Thailand have been linked with a wide range of viruses that are similar to severe acuterespiratory syndrome (SARS)—Lipkin says. But it seems more likely the boys would have beenexposed to infection-causing bacteria when they swam through the dirty water with cuts and scrapes. "If you are trying to prioritize issues with respect to health care for these kids, numberone would be psychological damage and second will be bacterial infections from the cuts andscrapes they may have encountered." Lipkin says.（1） According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the potential symptom of the rescued team members?A. Lacking body waterB. Unbalanced nutritionC. Pain in the head and musclesD. Adequate oxygen（2） The underlined word "submerged" in paragraph 3 means ____________.A. under the waterB. wild and dangerousC. with animalsD. bat-associated（3） Which is true about the caves and the trapped people?A. Jonathan Epstein thought it possible for the team members to be attacked by bats in the fully-flooded cave. B. Lipkin argued bats were not able to get deep into the narrow cave where thekids were trapped.C. Lipkin said the victims might be infected when their body were exposed to bacterial waterduring the rescue. D. Lipkin believed the most important issue for the cave-trapped teenagers was infectious bacteria examination.（4） What is the text type of the passage?A. An academic essay about bats.B. A newspaper article.C. A medical magazine.D. A Thai website about sports.【答案】（1） D（2） A（3） C（4） B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，讲述了突然爆发的洪水把一支泰国少年足球队困在山洞达两周多，之后全部获救，正在北部城市清雷的一家医院接受良好的治疗。

【英语】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Just a few years out of law school, I decided that I wanted to write fictions. The only thing I had ever published before was a law-review article. I had made great efforts to write when I came home at night after work, but I was too tired. I decided to quit my job.I began my new life on a February morning. I sat down at my kitchen table at 7:30 am and made a resolution. Every day I would write until lunchtime. Then I would lie down on the floor for 20 minutes to rest my mind. After that, I would return to work for a few more hours.In my first year, I sold two stories. Then I wrote a novel, but I thought it wasn't good enough, so I ended up putting it in a drawer. My second novel, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, was published to glowing reviews and received the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction.My success sounds like a familiar story, but actually it was far from sudden. I quit my job, and for every story I published in those years, I had at least 30 rejections. The novel that I put away in the drawer took my four years. My breakthrough came in 2006, 18 years after I first sat down to write at my kitchen table.Sometimes genius (天才) is just the thing that comes out after 20 years of working at your kitchen. Also, doing something truly creative requires the energy of youth. Orson Welles made his masterpiece, Citizen Kan, at 25. T. S. Eliot wrote The Love Song of J. Afred Prufrock at 23.（1）When did the author decide to devote himself to writing fictions?A. When he was tired from his work.B. Straight after graduation from law school.C. On being informed his law-review article came out.D. When his hobby was disturbed by his work.（2）We can infer from the second paragraph that the author .A. led a wealthy lifeB. arranged his life reasonablyC. was too diligent to relax himselfD. remained single（3）What does the author mainly intend to tell us in this passage?A. Failure is the mother of success.B. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.C. It is never too old to learn.D. It is the first step that costs troublesome.（4）Why did the author give the example of Orson Welles and T. S. Eliot?A. To make a comparison between them and himself.B. To show creativity needs energy and efforts.C. To persuade the readers of their great talents.D. To recommend their two masterpieces.【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过讲述自己成功的经历，进一步证实了“失败是成功之母”的道理。

（英语）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Robots make me nervous—especially the ones which seem to think for themselves. I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, felt the same way. Gates said in an interview with the social networking and news website Reddit: "I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent．That should be positive if we manage well. A few decades after that, though, the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern."Well, maybe I don't have to worry about my computer and kitchen equipment yet. After I use them I can always pull the plug. But in the future, machines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off. There's a terrible thought!Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil like some we've seen in sci-fi movies. What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient. That's what philosopher Nick Bostrom from Oxford University believes. He says that machines are indifferent to humans and in pursuit of their own goals，the destruction of people might be just additional damage. Bostrom gives us an example: A machine which might have its only goal to produce as many paperclips as possible might look at human bodies as extra material for paperclips and go after you. Because it is, well, a machine, it would not take pity on you.It's a good thing that American writer Isaac Asimov thought about how far robots can go and left us his three rules of robotics. They state that a robot may not hurt a human being or allow the human being to come to harm.I'm glad my machines at home are "dumb". All my cleaner wants to take over is the carpet in my living room. Let's hope they don't create an appliance which wants to take over the world!（1）The author quoted Bill Gates' words in Paragraph 2 in order to make the text________.A. better-knownB. more persuasiveC. better-organizedD. more interesting（2）An intelligent paperclip machine would harm us because _______.A. it is much cleverer than usB. it would take over the worldC. it has the strong feeling of destroying usD. it would see us just as material（3）How does the author feel about Isaac Asimov's rules of robotics?A. OptimisticB. WorriedC. DisappointedD. Regretful（4）What does the text mainly focus on?A. The benefits of future robots.B. The new applications of robots.C. The concern for super intelligence.D. The popularity of robots in the future.【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）A（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了智能机器人可能给人类带来伤害以及美国作家Isaac Asimov为此制定了三条机器人规则，作者旨在引起人们对智能机器人的关注。

高考英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解In Shanghai's Grand Theater, a fashionable, mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as Guo Yong takes center stage. He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves. Blowing on one of the leaves, he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song. Some other musicians are also playing the traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in China.It's the first time such music has ever been performed in the Grand Theater. But all this is the efforts of Zhu Zheqin, a Cantonese-born singer; who has made it her mission to help preserve China's traditional ethnic music.Several years ago, after being appointed a United Nations Development Program ambassador, Zhu traveled through some of China's remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups. In the course other four- month trip, she recorded more than a thousand songs. But she noticed that many of the best musicians were old, and some of the music was at risk of dying out."I was shocked the beauty of what I heard-it was so good," she says. "But it needed support. I hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times."So Zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians to a wider audience. By doing this, she hopes to rekindle (再次点燃) the interest of the younger generation. "Young people don't like this music much; they prefer pop music and love songs. They think these songs are something their grandma sings. This kind of repackaging gives young people a new door into their heritage." Zhu believes China needs to look again at its own roots. "China today is basically all Western art; in our conservatories (音乐学院) Western classical music is the top," she says. "For China to really contribute to the world, we need to go on our own path. So what can represent China today?" The answer, she suggests, is to move from "made in China" to "created in China".（1）From the first paragraph, we learn that ________.A. the audience are all young peopleB. Guo Yong is playing the Buyi folk musicC. Guo Yong is the only minority performer on the stageD. tree branches make good musical instruments（2）Which of the following is TRUE of Zhu Zheqin?A.

She's created all the music for the Grand Theater.（3）Zhu Zheqin traveled to some of China's remotest regions to ________.A. record the traditional ethnic musicB. help the local musicians play the musicC. show the UN Chinese musical traditionsD. enjoy the music of various ethnic groups（4）What is Zhu Zheqin's idea about Chinese traditional music?A. It is completely out of date.B. Only old musicians play it well.C. It needs changes to attract young people.D. It is quickly dying out.（5）What does Zhu Zheqin mean in the last paragraph?A. The traditional music should be repackaged.B. Chinese conservatories shouldn't teach Western music.C. China has contributed a lot to the Western art.D. Only the things created in China can be symbols of China.【答案】（1）B（2）B（3）A（4）C（5）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了歌手朱哲琴将中国少数民族传统音乐整理再包装后向年轻人推广，并呼吁重视传统、找到真正能代表本民族的东西．（1）考查细节理解。
