一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解A typical child plays many roles, such as friend, neighbor, son or daughter. Simply reminding children of that fact can lead to better problem-solving and more flexible thinking, according to new research from Duke University.Better problem-solving was just one positive finding of the study, said lead author Sarah Gaither, an assistant professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke. After thinking about their own various identities, children also showed more flexible thinking about race and other social groupings—a behavior that could be valuable in an increasingly diverse society.In a series of experiments, Gaither and her colleagues looked at 196 children, ages 6 and 7. In an experiment, one group of children was reminded that they had various identities, such as son, daughter, reader or helper. A second group of children was reminded of their multiple physical attributes, such as a mouth, arms and legs. All the children then needed to handle a few tasksChildren who were reminded of their various identities showed stronger problem-solving and creative thinking skills. When shown pictures of a bear staring at honey-filled beehive(蜂窝)high up in a tree, these children had more creative ideas for how the bear might get the honey, such as turning over a bowl so that it became a stool(凳子). In other words, they saw a new use for the bowl. Children who were reminded of their multiple roles also showed more flexible thinking about social groupings. When asked to categorize different photos of faces, they suggested many ways to Spso. They identified smiling faces such as unsmiling ones, and old and young faces. The other children, meanwhile, primarily grouped people's faces by race and gender(性别).The-study suggests ways to promote flexible thinking for the young, which could be especially valuable for teachers." Gaither said."We have this tendency in our society to only think about ourselves in connection with one important group at a time," Gaither said. "When kids think that they have various identities, they show greater abilities."(1)What are all the kids asked to do in the experiments?A.Play different kinds of roles.B.Remind others of their roles.C.Approach several tasks.D.Classify a group of tasks.(2)How does the author mainly clarify the conclusions of the study in paragraph 4?A.By giving examples.B.By using experts' words.C.By listing a few figures.D.By showing cause and effect.(3)What can we learn from Sarah Gaither's words?A.Improving 5 kids flexible thinking ability is important teaching.B.Kids tend to behave selflessly after thinking about their roles.C.Kids' creative thinking ability is easy to discover and develop.D.Teachers are supposed to make the most of the kids' flexibility.(4)What is the best title for the text?A.Kids' Social Abilities Are Consistent with. Their Education.B.Considering Their Various Roles Improves Kids' Abilities.C.Kids Have a Variety of Identities in Their Daily Life.D.Problem-solving Ability Is Necessary for Most Kids.【答案】(1)C(2)A(3)A(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了让孩子知道自己有不同的角色可以提高孩子解决问题的能力和创造性思维能力。

高中英语 每日一题(第02周)每周一测试题(含解析)新人教版选修6

每周一测Ⅰ. 阅读理解AAdolescence, the period of a child’s life when they are most vulnerable to outside influences, is a relatively scary time for parents. Children of this age become the target of many negative influences while at the same time they are experiencing hormones that are raging out of control.But parents should not be fooled by their children’s rejection and rudeness. In fact children expect the constant support, guidance, and influence from their parents.I came from a family where anger always lies just below the surface, waiting for an excuse to erupt. My parents often said that my sisters and I could tell them anything. Though they promised not to be angry at whatever we would say, they couldn’t do it. Without the emotional support from my pa rents during my most vulnerable years, I often found myself losing my temper easily and even doing risky behaviors.There is no certain standard about parenting, but I knew exactly what I should not do after I became a parent. I knew the importance of establishing open communication and trust, which resulted in my proper reactions and my children’s trust.Our home was a quiet place, a shelter for my children’s emotional well-being. My children freely shared with me what happened in their lives, whether good or bad, shocking or humorous. As their mother, I rarely raised my voice and my reactions to their telling about their improper behaviors remained calm, no matter how I felt inside.Parenting I did was far from easy. It took patience, persistence, and consistency. Everyone hopes for beautiful relationships with their children, and everyone can have them. The theory is simple: trust is the lock—communication is the key. 1. What do we know about adolescents according to the text?A. They cannot easily control themselvesB. They are easily influenced by their parentsC. They are eager to communicate with parentsD. They don’t expect parents’ guidance and support2. Which of the following words best describes the author when she was a teenager?A. GentleB. DishonestC. HurtD. Careless3. How did the author gain trust when communicating with her children?A. By making a promiseB. By raising her voiceC. By demanding much of themD. By controlling her reactions4. The text is mainly intended to tell us __________.A. the need of riding anger at homeB. the ways of parenting adolescentsC. the importance of supporting childrenD. the benefit of building good relationships with childrenBA new report said that different types of plants can release some chemical into the air to help other plants. These chemical warnings all have the same purpose —to spread information about one plant's disease or infestation so other plants can defend themselves. But exactly how plants receive and act on many of these signals is still mysterious.In this week’s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers in Japan offered some explanations. They had identified one chemical message and traced it all the way from release to action.The scientists looked at tomato plants infested by a common pest, the cutworm. The researchers studied leaves from exposed and unexposed plants. They found onecompound showed up more often in the exposed plants. The substance is called Hex Vic. When the scientists fed Hex Vic to cutworms, it knocked down their survival rate by 17%. The scientists identified the source of Hex Vic, and sprayed it lightly over healthy plants. Those plants were then able to start producing the cutworm-killing Hex Vic. Researchers confirmed that uninfected plants have to build their own weapons to fight off bugs and disease. How do they know when to play defense? They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors.It is a complex tale, and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes. It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. Further studies are needed to increase agricultural efficiency.5. Which is the way used by plants to warn their neighbors?A. Using of winds.B. Identifying the chemicals.C. Releasing some chemicals.D. Being exposed early.6. It can be inferred from the text that ________.A. farmers may benefit from the further studiesB. the phenomenon may be happening in less plant species than tomatoesC. there are not chemical signalsD. plants are warned first by their neighbors7. What’s the function of Hex Vic?A. It sprays over healthy plants.B. It shows up more.C. It cures the disease.D. It damages the cutworm’s body.8. The passage is likely to appear in ________.A. a newspaper advertisementB. a physics textbookC. a science magazineD. a finance reportⅡ. 完形填空When I was younger, I was addicted to the stories in magic books, and I thirstily 1 them. And like most of the 2 of these stories I secretly wished for magical power for myself. I wanted to be able to 3 make my pain disappear, to make my 4 go away, and to have power over this world that so often has 5 over us.6 I got older, however, I realized that there was no such thing as magic and the7 reality of life set in. I struggled through a long period of8 . I had daily pain from a back injury that never healed right. I felt sadness and9 when both of my sons were diagnosed 10 Autism. I still sometimes daydreamed about magic but in time even that 11 .Then one day I began to 12 that a different kind of magic called LOVE grew stronger in my heart, soul and 13 day by day. This magic connected me to my own best self and to all of 14 souls in this world. It didn’t m ake me 15 my poverty but it made every day of my life 16 . It didn’t make my back pain go away but it helped me 17 it so much better. It didn’t cure my18 Autism but it helped me see their beautiful, 19 , eternal, and joyful souls.There is such a thing as magic in each one of us in this world. This magic is called LOVE. May you choose it, share it, and 20 in it every single day of your life.1. A.obtained B.found C.read D.acquired2. A.parents B.readers C.authorsD.children3.

(英语)高一英语阅读理解及其解题技巧及练习题(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解The number of giraffes is becoming smaller across Africa, according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. The total population has dropped by 40 percent in the last 15 years. Surprisingly, even scientists haven't given much attention to giraffes. We are learning more about their ecology, but what we know is still way behind what we know about other species. "It's a silent extinction," said Dr. Julian Hennessy, a wildlife scientist."The main reason for the smaller number of giraffes is their loss of living places," said Hennessy, "as an increasing part of land is used for farming. But hunting also has a big influence." You might wonder why hunters would focus on giraffes. First of all, once a giraffe is brought down, there is lots of meat with a small amount of effort. Besides, there is another thing encouraging the hunting. In Tanzania, Hennessy says, the latest word on the street is that eating giraffe meat could cure AIDS. Fresh giraffe heads and bones can be sold at prices of up to $140 per piece.Another widespread misconception about giraffes is that they are everywhere. Look at kids' books which are full of giraffes. They are always in zoo collections. They can be seen easily, so you don't think we have to worry about them. But the truth is that they are in danger of extinction. There is a lack of right and true data.Hennessy and other researchers are now pulling together the data needed to improve the situation of the entire giraffe species and all nine subspecies (亚种). The information will be used to change the giraffe's listing on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, which now lists the species as of "least concern" but two subspecies as "endangered". "It's a lot of work to gather the necessary information," Hennessy says. "And several other giraffe subspecies will be recommended for endangered listings next year or the year after." He hopes that the world will finally start to take notice of how endangered these beloved animals have become.(1)By saying "It's a silent extinction", Hennessy tells us that ______.A. giraffes are unpopular in AfricaB. the giraffe is always silent in daily lifeC. the ecology of Africa needs more attentionD. the extinction occurs without enough attention(2)What has caused the high price of giraffe meat in Tanzania?A. The country's custom.B. The illegal international trade.C. The cost of hunting a giraffe.D. The idea that it's a cure for AIDS.(3)The misconception in Para. 3 can be corrected by ______.A. preventing illegal hunting in AfricaB. rewriting kids' books about giraffesC. providing reliable data about giraffesD. spreading scientific knowledge of AIDS(4)The final purpose of Hennessy's great effort is to ______.A. collect more information about giraffesB. raise public awareness of protecting giraffesC. prove giraffes will disappear in the next few yearsD. work with the International Union for Conservation of Nature【答案】(1)D(2)D(3)C(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了长颈鹿濒临灭绝的原因,并指出提供准确的数据,提高人们的保护意识至关重要。

高中英语阅读理解练习题1
【LONDON】
LONDON----A morning‘s train ride away, across the Channel, English kids talk about Liverpool‘s soccer team in a Paris pub.
Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London.
In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival(竞争的) cities, London and Paris, in‖ A Tale of Two Cities.‖ These days, it might be A Tale of One City.
Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor‘s broken French and respond in polite English.
As jobs grew lack at home over recent years, perhaps 250000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.
Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down.
―For me, the difference is that London is real, alive,‖ said Trevor Wheeler, a banker.
Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees.‖ I am French, but I‘ll stay in London,‖ she said.
There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ag o.‖ I think people laugh more in Paris,‖ she said.
In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities,
are beyond the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property.
―Both cities have changed beyond recognition.‖ said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner.
Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably. ―I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s, and it is still a wo nderful place,‖ Collins said. ―But if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better.‖
But certainly not cheaper.
In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris. Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.
Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don‘t have to choose.
―I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a cen ter, but life is so structured,‖ she said. ―In London, you can be who you wan. No one cares.‖
1.The best title for this passage is______.
A. Londoners and Parisians
B. A Modern Tale of Two Cities
C. The Similarity of Two Cities
D. Fancy London and Fashionable Paris
2.We can infer from the text______.
A. Paris and London has become perfect partners
B. London feels more full of life
C. life in Paris is structured
D. Paris and London have become fierce competitors
3.The underlined word‖ flocked‖ probably means______.
A. came in large numbers
B. flew a long way
C. rushed
hurriedly D. drove long distances
4.Living in Paris, you may find______.
A. life is better
B. things are cheaper
C. more attractive people
D. a job easily
5.From the passage we can know______.
A. the two cities have developed very fast
B. London is better than Paris now
C. Paris is a favourite place for all journalism students
D. people in both London and Paris now lead a regular life 答案:BAABA。
