(2016·日照校际联合检测)At least three people are dead in the Philippines now that Typhoon Hagupit has landed.
The typhoon, which hit the eastern Philippines over the weekend, has blown down trees and sent more than 650-thousand people into shelters before weakening.
“There were very strong winds last night. The roof was beginning to move, and rain was getting inside the rooms，” said a villager.
The storm hit with gusts (强风) of over 100 miles per hour. And while the storm has slowed considerably from the super typhoon level it had last week, Hagupit still remains strong enough to create more damage. Christopher Perez is a local weather forecaster. He says, “We are continuing to expect bad weather and rough ocean waves. Threats of possible flash floods and landslides (滑坡) as well as possible storm waves are occurring in coastal areas.”
Hagupit is expected to roll into the South China Sea tomorrow.
It's currently going westward toward the southern tip of Vietnam, meaning it's unlikely to affect China. Hagupit's strength in the Philippines is much less severe than Typhoon Haiyan, which rolled through the country in 2013.
Haiyan's tsunami-like storm waves and killer winds left thousands of people dead and
leveled_entire_villages.
The central Philippines is still trying to recover from last year's massive storm waves.
1.We can know from the passage that the Typhoon Hagupit is ________.
A.getting stronger
B.weakening
C.going to affect China soon
D.moving more than 120 miles per hour
2.The underlined part “leveled entire villages” probably means “________”.
A.destroyed all the buildings in the villages
B.were of the same sea level as the villages
C.killed all the villagers
D.blew down all the trees in the villages
3.Which of the following places suffered most when Typhoon Haiyan rolled in?
A.The eastern Philippines.
B.The southern tip of Vietnam.
C.The South China Sea.
D.The central Philippines.
4.What do we know about Typhoon Haiyan from the passage?
A.It caused less severe damage than Typhoon Hagupit.
B.It also rolled in Vietnam and China.
C.It brought about a lot of deaths.
D.It damaged the roofs of all the houses.
1．解析：选B细节理解题。根据第四段中的“And while the storm has slowed considerably”可知，台风黑格比在变弱，故选B项。
2．解析：选A词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段可知，此处表示台风海燕如海啸一样的暴风雨浪潮和危害极大的风使成千上万的人失去生命，把全部的村庄夷为平地，故选A项。
3．解析：选D推理判断题。根据最后一段可推知，菲律宾中部仍然在努力地从去年强烈的暴风雨浪潮中恢复过来，即台风海燕对菲律宾中部的破坏巨大，故选D项。
4．解析：选C细节理解题。根据倒数第三段可知，台风黑格比远没有2013年的台风海燕的破坏性大，故排除A项；B项在文章中没有提到；根据倒数第二段中的“Haiyan's ... left thousands of people dead”可知C项正确；D项在文章中没有涉及。

(2016·青岛三诊)Robots that can chat, find misplaced glasses, draw aeroplanes and play with your children are attracting thousands of visitors during an expo in Tokyo as Japan adapts to changes in society. Robots, such as the sound sensitive Chapit, answer simple questions and even joke with people to help them fight loneliness and stay alert in old age.
Japan has one of the world's fastest-ageing societies and the government predicts that by 2050 the proportion of people over 65 will reach 40 percent.“Many older people in Japan live alone and have no one to talk to，” said Kazuya Kitamura representative of the expo organizer.“Communication robots accompany people and don't mind listening to the same stories over and over again.”
Matsumoto's Personal Mobility Robot, equipped with four cameras and a sensor to recognize the user's centre of gravity, is designed to help elderly move around without pressing buttons, using joysticks (操纵杆) or rotating wheels as in traditional wheelchairs.
The robot can also help find misplaced glasses by identifying them with a sensor.
Other robots, such as the award-winning “DiGRO” can support busy parents who have little time to pla y with their children.The robot can use the Internet to find a simple image and then draw pictures, keeping children company while parents work.
While Chapit, a relatively simple robot, managed to attract a corporate partner many researchers, such as Kiyoshi Matsumoto, a professor at the University of Tokyo, struggle to attract sponsors for more expensive projects.
“We have developed a robot that can assist many people, but we still haven't found a sponsor，” said Matsumoto, who added that the cost of the machine, if mass-produced, would be comparable to that of a car. “In the current economic environment there are few companies willing to invest in such a costly project，” he said.
1.It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A.many children lack love from parents
B.robots helpful to the old will be in great demand
C.robots are the most useful to children
D.robots do better than people in healthcare
2.It is difficult to find sponsors for robots because ________.
A.Japan is suffering economy depression
B.the robots are of poor design
C.the production of robots costs a lot
D.the future market is worrying
3.What is the author's attitude towards the robots referred to?
A.Unsatisfied.
B.Doubtful.
C.Favorable.
D.Regretful.
1．解析：选B推理判断题。文中第二、三、四段都在讲述这种机器人能陪伴孤独老人，给他们讲笑话，还可以与老人交流，听老人讲一遍又一遍同样的故事也不会觉得烦，机器人还能帮助老人四处走动等等，从这些可以推断出对老人有帮助的机器人在未来会有很大需求。故选B。
2．解析：选C细节理解题。从文中最后一段“ the cost of the machine, if mass-prod uced, would be comparable to that of a car”他补充说如批量生产，机器的成本就相当于一辆汽车的成本，可见机器人的成本太高，故很难找到赞助商，故选C。
3．解析：选C观点态度题。结合全文可知，作者介绍了诸多关于日本生产的这些机器人的功能，从第一段“可以聊天、帮人找眼镜、画飞机和你的孩子一起玩耍的机器人吸引了在东京的世博会期间成千上万的参观者，因为日本人适应社会的变化。”最能体现作者的态度，虽然机器人生产的赞助商很难找，但是这些新型机器人确实吸引人眼球，故作者对于机器人的发展是赞成的。故选C。
【2016模拟题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。People believed for a long time that the heart was the center of a person's emotions. That is why the word "heart" is used in so many expressions about emotional situations.
One such expression is to "lose your heart" to someone. When that happens, you have fallen in love. But if the person who won your heart does not love you, then you are sure to have a "broken heart." In your pain and sadness, you may decide that the person you loved is "hard-hearted," and in fact, has a "heart of stone."
You may decide to "pour out your heart" to a friend. Telling someone about your personal problems can often make you feel better.
If your friend does not seem to understand how painful your broken heart is, you may ask her to "have a heart." You are asking your friend to show some sympathy for your situation. Your friend "has her heart in the right place" if she says she is sorry, and shows great concern for how you feel.
Your friend may, however, warn you not to "wear your heart on your sleeve." In other words, do not let everyone see how lovesick you are. When your heart is on your sleeve you are showing your deepest emotions.
If your friend says "my heart bleeds for you," she means the opposite. She is a cold-hearted person who does not really care about your situation.
In the ever-popular motion picture, "The Wizard of Oz,"（绿野仙踪）the Tin Man seeks a heart. He wanted to feel the emotion of love, and was seeking help from the powerful Wizard of Oz to find a heart.
The Cowardly Lion, in the same movie, did “have a heart”. But he lacked courage and wanted to ask the Wizard of Oz to give him some. You could say that the cowardly lion was "chicken-hearted." That is another way of describing someone who is not very brave. A chicken is not noted for its bravery. Thus, someone who is chicken-hearted does not have much courage.
When you are frightened or concerned, your "heart is in your mouth." You might say, for example, that your heart was in your mouth when you asked a bank to lend you some money to pay for a new house. 1．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．The heart was the center of a person's emotions.
B．There are many expressions about heart and what do they mean.
C．We should learn some expressions about “heart”.
D．It is important to learn some expressions about “heart”
2．How many expressions about “Heart” are mentioned in the passage?
A.10
B.8
C.9
D.11
3．If you hear one of your family members is hurt in a traffic accident, you will feel ________.
A.heart is in your mouth.
B.have your heart in the right place
C. wear your heart on your sleeve
D.lose your heart
4．Why did the writer mention"The Wizard of Oz,"in the passage?
A.To show that it is ever popular.
B.To introduce a film to the readers
C.To give some more examples about the phrases.
D.To show that the Tin Man is not brave.
参考答案1-----4、B D A C
解析
1．主旨题：通读全文和第一段的内容：可知这篇文章讲的是和“heart”有关的表达和它们的含义。选B
2．细节题：整个文章介绍了11个有关“heart”的表达："lose your heart"，"broken heart." ，"hard-hearted," ，"heart of stone."，"pour out your heart" ，"have a heart." ，"has her heart in the right place" ，"wear your heart on your sleeve."，"my heart bleeds for you," ，"chicken-hearted."，和"heart is in your mouth."所以选D
3．推理题：题目问：如果你听说一个家庭成员在交通事故中受伤，是什么感觉？从最后一段对heart is in your mouth 的解释，可知这是“心提到嗓子眼”的意思，表示担心，和语境相符合，选A
4．写作意图题：在倒数第二段和第三段的内容：可知作者提到"The Wizard of Oz,"，举了the Tin Man 和The Cowardly Lion,的例子，是为了给出更多的关于“heart”的表达。选C
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
The word “labyrinth”，or maze, refers to a complex structure of interconnecting passages through which it is difficult to find one's way. The most famous labyrinth is found in Greek mythology (神话). Designed by Daedalus for King Minos of Knossos to contain the fierce Minotaur (a half man and half bull monster),
Daedalus' labyrinth was so complex that he, himself, could hardly find his way through it and, having successfully done so, Minos put him and his son, Icarus, into prison in a high tower in case he told the secret of the maze. Daedalus and Icarus fled using the feathers of birds bound together by wax to form wings and fly from the tower. Sadly, Icarus flew too close to the sun, melting the wax of his wings, and fell into the sea to drown.
The other well known labyrinth was a pyramid complex (金字塔群) of many courts in Egypt, built at Hawara for Amenemhet Ⅲ，a ruler of the 12th Dynasty (1844－1797 BC). There were twelve separate courts of large size — six in a row facing north, six south — and all connected by corridors (走廊). Inside, the building was of two stories and contained about three thousand rooms, of which one half were underground, and the other half directly above them. The labyrinth was described by the Greek historian Herodotus, “The Egyptians in charge refused to let me see the underground ones, as they contain the tombs of the kings. I did actually see the upper rooms, and it is hard to believe that they are the work of men. The mysterious and complicated passages from room to room and from court to court were an endless wonder to me.” The gre at Egyptian labyrinth fell into ruin at some unknown point and was pulled down. So great was the site as a source of building materials that a small town grew up around the ruins. Nothing remains of this great architectural wonder today except the destroyed pyramid of Amenemhet Ⅲ at Hawara by the oasis (绿洲) of Faiyum.
1.Minos put Daedalus into prison ________.
A.because Daedalus could not get out of the labyrinth
B.because Daedalus' labyrinth was too complex
C.to punish Daedalus for Minotaur's escape
D.to protect the secret of the labyrinth
2.We learn from Paragraph 1 that Daedalus and his son ________.
A.both fell into the sea and died
B.intended to leave the tower by sea
C.got away by sitting on the wings of birds
D.escaped with wings made by themselves
3.What do we know about the Egyptian labyrinth?
A.It had about 1,500 upper rooms.
B.It contained twelve stories in total.
C.It was built about 5,000 years ago.
D.It had been Amenemhet Ⅲ's palace.
4.The two labyrinths mentioned in the text ________.
A.were both constructed for pleasure
B.were both built for the kings
C.both have many historical records
D.both include many courts
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。介绍了两个举世闻名的古代迷宫。
1．解析：选D细节理解题。根据第一段的“Minos put him and his son, Icarus, into prison in a high tower in case he told the secret of the maze”可知，Minos把Daedalus关在一个高塔里防止他透露迷宫的秘密。2．解析：选D细节理解题。根据第一段的“Daedalus and Icarus fled using the feathers of birds bound together by wax to form wings and fly from the tower.”可知，Daedalus和他的儿子用蜡把鸟的羽毛粘成翅膀，借此飞出高塔。
3．解析：选A推理判断题。根据第二段的“contained about three thousand rooms, of which one half were underground, and the other half directly above them”可知，这个埃及迷宫大约有三千个房间，一半在地上，一半在地下。故地上的屋子约有1 500间。
4．解析：选B细节理解题。根据第一段的“Designed by Daedalus for King Minos of Knossos”和第二段的“built at Hawara for Amenemhet Ⅲ， a ruler of the 12th Dynasty”可知，两个迷宫都是为国王建造的。

The first is the 173-meter-high Great Pyramid of Giza, the largest of all the pyramids in Egypt. The second is the Great Sphinx of Giza, a sculpture with the body of a lion and the head of a man, which stands 20 meters tall and 73 meters long. The origin of the Great Sphinx of Giza goes back 5,000 years, Although many sphinx sculptures have been found over the years, researchers believe that the Great Sphinx which guards the pyramids in Giza was actually the first one to be made (around 2600-2500B.C.). The head of the Sphinx represents Khafre, the Pharaoh who ruled Egypt at the time. About two thousand years later, around 570 B.C., sand had covered all but the head of the Great Sphinx. The people living in the area had forgotten the history of the statue, so they imagined that the head represented the sun god Ra and began worshiping it. The son of Pharaoh Amenhotep II heard the head speak to him in a dream. The Sphinx’s head made him promise to clear the sand from the statue’s body. The son, Thutmose, kept his word and did what he was told in the dream. He also built walls around the statue to prevent the sand from covering it again. After all of the sand was cleared away, Thutmose made a large stone tablet that told the story of his dream. He placed this tablet between the two front feet of the Sphinx, where it stands to this day. For hundreds of years, the Sphinx attracted people both as a religious monument and as a work of art. But eventually, the desert sand once again covered the Sphinx, leaving only

（英语）英语阅读理解专项习题及答案解析 一、阅读理解 1．根据短文内容选择正确答案。 D If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming. Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty in such positive（积极的）light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance. When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chan ces all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨询）, but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she w asn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted. She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ours elves. The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen.

一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 City trees grow faster and die younger than trees in rural forestry, a new study finds. Over their lifetimes, then, urban trees will likely absorb less CO2 from the air thah forest trees. As we all know, the earth would be freezing or burning hot without CO2. However, CO2is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps energy from the sun as/heat. That makes temperatures near the ground rise. Human activities, especially the widespread burning-of fossil(化石)fuels, have been sending extra greenhouse gases into the air. This has led to a rise in average temperatures across the globe. Studies had shown forests readily absorb CO2, but there hadn't been much data on whether city trees grow, die and absorb CO2at the same rate as forest trees do. So some researchers decided to find out. To figure out how quickly trees were growing, researchers tracked their diameters (the width of their trunks) between 2005 and 2014. A tree's diameter increases as it grows, just as a person's waist size increases as they gain weight. About half the weight of a tree is carbon, research has shown. Most of the rest is water. Over the nine years' tracking, the researchers found city trees absorbed four times as much carbon from the air as forest trees. However, they were twice as likely to die. So over the lifetime of each type of tree, forest trees actually absorbed more CO2. City trees grew faster because they had less competition for light from their neighbors. In a forest, trees tend to grow close together, shading their neighbors. Street trees also benefit from higher levels of nitrogen (氮)in rainwater. Nitrogen helps plants grow. Waste gases from gas-burning cars also contain nitrogen, thus enriching city air with nitrogen. Later, rainwater may wash much of it to the ground. Some street trees may also have better access to water than trees in the country because the underground water pipes can leak. （1）What can he known about CO2 from paragraph 2? A. It is one of the side effects of greenhouses. B. It greatly accelerates the process of global warming. C. It results from the widespread burning of fossil fuels. D. It prevents the earth from becoming unsuitable to live on. （2）Why did researchers track the diameters of trees? A. To know about their growth rates. B. To find out how much they weigh. C. To check whether they were healthy. D. To assess the carbon amounts in them. （3）What advantage do city trees have over forest trees? A. They are more likely to access growth promoters. B. They can enjoy more water coming from the air. C. They can enjoy more shade from neighbors. D. They are better at competing for light. （4）What will probably be talked about if the passage is continued? A. How urban trees can live longer. B. Why city living makes trees die young. C. How trees respond to dry soil conditions. D. Why faster-growing trees absorb more CO2.

Passage 1 No one prior to World War II more trenchantly analyzed the philosophical differences between utopians and realists than did E.H.Carr in his celebrated work, which, although published in 1939, did not have its impact in America until after World War II. Carr used the term utopians for idealists who placed emphasis on international law and organization and on the influence of morality and public opinion in the affairs of nations. He probably did not intend the more pejorative connotation that attached to the term utopians after World War II as na?ve opponents of power politics expounded by realists. Indeed, since the end of the Cold War, the idealist concept of the harmony of national interests in peace has received new attention in a more recent neoliberal-neorealist debate. The failures of the League of Nations in the 1930s cast doubt on the harmony of interest in peace, which appeared to accord with the interests of satisfied, status-quo powers with democratic governments, but not with the perceived needs of revisionists, totalitarians, authoritarian states seeking boundary changes, enhanced status, greater power, and, especially in the case of Nazi Germany, revenge for the humiliation of the post-World War I settlement imposed by the Versailles treaty. Contrary to the utopian assumption, national self-determination did not always produce representative governments. Instead, the overthrow of the old monarchical order gave rise in many places, including Russia, to a more pervasive and oppressive totalitarian states. The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of August 1939 between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany set the stage for Adolph Hitler’s invasion of Poland, the outbreak of World War II, the partition of Poland, and the absorption of Baltic states into the Soviet Union, all in flagrant contravention of the standards of international conduct set forth in utopian theory. 1.Who took a strong analysis of the philosophical differences between utopians and realists?
