8上Unit3 阅读理解8篇Passage 1（2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习）Are you shy sometimes? The answer from 16-year-old Liu Yuexian is “Yes”. “When my teacher asked me to come to the blackboard, I was too nervous to work out the problem,” said Liu. “I thought everyone was looking at me.”Do you feel the same as Liu? Experts have found that more than 80 per cent of middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention. Shyness means feeling frightened when you’re around other people. Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences. It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people.In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just a case of how much. Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are smarter because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. You see, being shy isn’t all bad. But remember not to let good opportunities pass you by just because of it. If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practise spoken English in front of others, just do it! There’s nothing to be afraid of.1．________ of middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention.A．Less than 80% B．More than 80% C．Less than 60% D．All2．What does the underlined word “frightened” mean?A．兴奋的B．勇敢的C．自信的D．害怕的3．What can we learn from the third paragraph?A．Shyness can’t st op you from doing something you want to do.B．Being shy isn’t a very big problem.C．If shyness stops you from doing something you want to do, it is bad for you.D．All kinds of shyness are good for you.4．Why are shy people smarter according to some experts?A．Because they are good at working.B．Because they think less and talk more.C．Because they think more and talk less.D．Because they can speak in front of others.5．What’s the passage mainly about?A．Shyness is bad for everyone.B．Shyness is not all bad and we should be brave.C．Shyness is good for everyone.D．We should practise spoken English by ourselves.Passage 2（2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习）As time goes by, are you still the same person you used to be? Many of you would think you are. But according to a new study, your personality can change greatly. You could be a completely different person at 77, compared to when you were a 14-year-old, reported The Huffington Post.Psychologists at the UK’s University of Edinburgh did the study on a group of Scottish peop le. The research found that almost everyone’s personality changed when they grew old. The findings are published in a journal called Psychology and Aging.The research is based on a study that began in 1950. A group of teachers gave more than 1,200 14-year-old students personality tests. They tested six basic personality traits: self-confidence, conscientiousness, perseverance, desire to excel, creativity and moods.In 2012, researchers successfully found 174 of the 1,200 students, who were 77 years old on average at the time. They agreed to take a personality test similar to the one they had completed 63 years earlier.Researchers then compared the then-and-now test results. They were surprised to find great changes to all six personality traits of these people. Moods and conscientiousness had changed less. But there were still not too many similarities between the two results.The younger and older self seemed to be totally different for each person. It was “as if the second tests had been given to differen t people,” the study’s authors noted.In the past, personality was widely believed to be stable. William James, the father of American psychology, said that personality is “set like plaster”. This new study may bring some fresh ideas to the theory.6．Psych ologists at the UK’s University of Edinburgh did a study on________.A．Chinese people B．Scottish peopleC．British people D．American people7．In the study in 1950, teachers gave more than 1,200 14-year-old students________ tests.A．sight B．language C．personality D．oral English8．How many basic personality traits did the teachers test in 1950?A．One. B．Five. C．Six. D．Seven.9．According to the study, we can learn that________.A．there are too many similarities between the younger and older selfB．the younger and older self are different for each personC．the younger and older self are similar for each personD．there is no differences between the younger and older self10．What does the passage mainly tell us?A．Personality is stable. B．Everyone has the same personality.C．Personality may change as people grow older. D．The results of the study are the same.Passage 3（2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习）What makes us who we are? This question has two typical answers. One is the environment that surrounds us when we grow up, and the other is our genes. In English, this is called the “nature vs nurture debate”. Nature means genes, whereas nurture means environment, including the people around you.There is a famous saying: “Give me a child until the age of 7 and I’ll show you the man.” The meaning is that the environment in the early part of our life has the biggest effect on our adult life. Now, there is scientific research to support this famous saying.Scientists at the universities of Exeter, UK and Hamburg, Germany did studies on birds. They found that their personalities were affected most by the birds around them when they grew up—more so than genes. They watched small birds in new environments, and wrote down how much they explored. Birds that grew up with very curious birds were more curious themselves.Nick Royle from the University of Exeter in the UK said the research was surprising because it shows that “for these birds, personality is mainly determined by environment.” However, human personalities are a lot more comp licated than birds, so there is much we still don’t know. The nature vs nurture debate will continue for a longtime, if not forever.11．According to the first paragraph, nature means ________, and nurture means________.A．environment; genes B．genes; environmentC．child; adult D．adult; child12．________ has great impact on our adult life.A．The environment in our early life B．The environment in our old lifeC．The gene in our early life D．The gene in our adult life13．Scientists from the two universities did studies on________.A．human B．adults C．birds D．children14．The study in the third paragraph tells us________.A．gene is the most important to the birds’ personalityB．environment is the most important to the birds’ personalityC．the personality of birds is not related to environmentD．the personality of birds is not related to gene15．Human personalities are________birds.A．simpler than B．more complicated thanC．less complicated than D．as simple asPassage 4（2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习）Every country shares things in common: we value family and laughter, cherish food and health, and celebrate large festivals and traditions. Yet within the similar things we share, there are unique parts of each country. One characteristic that is famous of British people is their sense of humor, particularly self-mockery.This is a type of humor that criticizes and undervalues oneself. For example, a fat person may joke: “I’m on a new sea food diet. If I see food, I eat it.” This is a well-known self-mockery joke. Famous British writer Oscar Wilde once said: “I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a word that I am saying.”It’s difficult to say why self-mockery is tied to the British people. But every nation’s sense of humor comes from its culture and history. It could come from another British characteristic, modesty, meaning to not highlight or talk openly about your skills. This seems to be something that is similar with the Chinese people, where modesty plays a big part in daily life.It also acts as a defense of our self-esteem by playing down our skills. This can lessen the chances of people criticizing us.Another possible reason is that on average, the British people don’t take themselves too seriously. So mocking themselves is simply a healthy result of this.16．________ is a characteristic among British people.A．Self-mockery B．Laughing at othersC．Cooking D．Modesty17．The two examples in the second paragraph can be called “________”.A．overvaluation B．self-mockery C．skill D．criticism18．Every nation’s sense of humor comes from its ________.A．history B．culture C．history and culture D．economy and culture19．For Chinese people, ________is important in daily life.A．joke B．modesty C．criticism D．self-mockery20．Self-mockery can________.A．reduce our abilitiesB．make others criticize usC．lessen the chances of people criticizing usD．enhance our skillsPassage 5（2022秋·八年级校考单元测试）Friends are very important in everyone’s life because friends are always there when we need them. It’s great to have many friends, and I can’t thi nk about my life without my friends.My best friend is Lisa. When I first met her, I was five. She is one year older than me. Now she is in the same class with me, in the 7th grade. She is tall and quite thin. She has long curly blond hair and blue eyes. I am not so beautiful. Sometimes I wish I could be as beautiful as she is.My name’s Molly. I am tall enough but a little fat. Lisa and I like doing a lot of things together and talking about different things. She always helps me with my math and I sometimes help her with her English and history. I had to do a report (报告) on science once, but I didn’t understand (理解) what the teacher said. The next day, I read it in front of the class. But the teacher told me that my report was wrong and all my classmates laughed at (嘲笑)me. I felt very bad about myself.

B．Friendly.C．Popular. D．Smart.25．What can we learn from the passage?A．Lisa is taller than Molly.B．Molly is more beautiful than Lisa.C．Lisa has brown hair and blue eyes.D．Molly is happy to have a friend like Lisa.Passage 6（2022秋·八年级课时练习）We know that we live in a society, so we need a lot of friends. I think that a great friend is like a great artist who can change my feeling about life greatly. When I talk about the person who influenced（影响）me most, I must think of Wang Tao. He is my unforgettable（难忘的）friend in my life. He is good at study and looks handsome.He is kind-hearted and is always ready to help others. But he doesn’t like others to praise（称赞）him, because he thinks what he did is common. There is an old saying: A friend in need is a friend indeed. Wang Tao sets a goodexample in many parts in my life.I remembered that my math was mediocre at that time, but he was excellent in math. He often got high grades, but I could only reach 70 percent. Since we talked all day long, he was kind and polite to answer my math questions. Slowly, I did well in math. Then we became friends naturally.There are two kinds of friends, good and bad. Bad friends may make our life fail while good ones make our life successful. To me, Wang Tao is a very good friend.

Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our full attention(注意力).When people are talking, just listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most of the time caring about it iseven more important than understanding it. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of saying and meaning “I’m so sorry” when someone is sad.One of my friends told me that when she tried to tell her story, people often broke in to tell her that something similar happened to them even when she didn’t finish her words. For some reasons, her sadness became a story about them. In the end, she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we break into what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care.This easy thing isn’t that easy to learn. When I was young, I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence(沉默)often has more power to comfort and to connect than the kindest words.36．In the writer’s eyes, the most important thing we can give people is__________.A．plenty of money B．lots of freedom C．full attention D．a smile 37．We should__________ when our friends are sad.A．share our sad stories with them B．listen to their stories and say “I’m so sorry”C．let them enjoy the silence and not talk about it D．tell them something interesting to make them happyA．打断B．拒绝C．畏惧D．同意39．What can we know from the passage?A．The only connection between people is listening.B．Caring about what people say is more important than understanding it.C．People want others to share their feeling when they are telling their stories.D．People listen because they are too shy to speak or don’t know the answer.40．What’s th e main idea of the passage?A．Being a good listener makes you a good talker.B．Listening to people isn’t something easy to learn.C．Most listeners are too shy to show themselves.D．Sometimes a loving silence does a better job than beautiful words.参考答案：1．B 2．D 3．C 4．C 5．B【导语】本文主要介绍了不同程度的害羞对人的影响，并建议读者不要害怕，不要畏惧与人沟通和展示自己，要大胆一点。

语篇提能Ⅰ.阅读理解Across the United States, there are several places where two independent towns grew together to become one city — but kept both their names.Winston-Salem is one of them. It's a mid-sized city in what's called the plateau (high land), between the Atlantic Coast and the inland mountains in the state of North Carolina. The Winston part is a relatively new place, founded early last century. It's home to the nation's biggest open-air tobacco market.The giant R．J. Reynolds Tobacco Company's headquarters is in Winston-Salem, and Winston is the name of one of Reynolds' best-known cigarette brands. Fast-growing Winston soon surrounded the much older town of Salem，so in 1913, people in the area voted to combine them into a single place.From a historical and tourist point of view，Salem，or Old Salem, as it's called today, is the interesting and unusual part of town.Salem was founded in the 1700s by the Moravians. They spoke German，and their community was religiously based, with single men and single women living apart in separate dormitories. The Moravians greatly valued women's work and brainpower. In fact, one of the nation's oldest boarding schools for young women —the Moravians' Salem Academy founded in 1772 — is still in operation.Over the years，Salem lost its Moravian character. That all changed, though, when a non-profit group began to rehabilitate the historic area. These days Old Salem is what's called a living history museum, with exhibits, music, and tours of 18th-century houses, taverns and Moravian dormitory buildings just seven blocks from the tallest skyscraper inWinston-Salem.The historic community is booming again. Just as R．J. Reynolds is taking in millions of dollars making cigarettes across the town, Old Salem is generating about $15 million a year in tourism revenue and donations.1．From the passage we can know that ________.A. Winston-Salem is the name of a cityB. Salem is home to the tobacco marketC. the city Winston-Salem has two namesD. Old Salem is the name of a tobacco brand答案与解析A推理判断题。

新人教版高中英语测试卷语篇提能Ⅰ.阅读理解Babies can seem pretty helpless. They can't talk or use a spoon properly. They can't go to the bathroom by themselves.A long time ago, you were a baby yourself. But you've made the transition from a crying infant (婴儿) to an independent kid. As you've grown, your brain has undergone major changes. As a result, you know the difference between a cow and a car, an orange and a tennis ball. You can read, spell, and do maths.For years, scientists have been intrigued (激起兴趣) by how a baby's brain develops. They've been trying to figure out how and when babies become learning machines and begin to make sense of the world.Some researchers suggest that babies start off early. “The ‘smart baby’ camp believes that babies learn quickly，” says David Rakison, a psychologist at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “They do maths — (simple) addition and subtraction — within the first 6 months.”Other researchers argue that babies take their time, slowly learning what they need to know.Scientists who specialize in brain development do agree on one thing: the ways in which babies sort (给……分类) objects into groups is a key sign of brain development.And after years of studying how babies sort toys and other objects, Rakison has concluded that babies are “smart” in some ways and “dumb” in others. Babies are particularly good, he says, at learning things that are essential for survival, such as recognizingfaces or dangerous animals.语篇解读本文是说明文。
Unit 2 阅读理解8篇-英语八年级上册单元冲刺满分题型训练(人教版)
八上 Unit2 阅读理解 8篇（2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习）Simple move for a fitter lifeLast year, the plank exercise was still a new thing for most Chinese. Now, the exercise is so popular that not only do many people post photos of themselves doing it on social media, there was even a Plank World Cup, which was held for the first time in Beijing last month.The plank, also known as the front hold or hover, is a core strength exercise that involves suspending the body in a horizontal position with one’s forearms and toes. Its popularity in China can be partially attributed to real estate tycoon Pan Shiyi, according to Beijing Youth Daily. Last November, he posted a photo on Weibo, in which he performed the move with former US ambassador to China Gary Locke.The celebrity effect may have started the plank wave, but its popularity lies more in the exercise’s simplicity and benefits. Without any special equipment, it can be done anytime, anywhere. Plus, it’s the most effective and efficient way to exercise the abdominal muscles (abs).While performing the exercise, all of your abs, including the *transverse, *oblique and upper abs, must work together to stabilize and support your whole body. It also exercises what is known as your “core” muscles, including the hips and the upper back muscles that protect your spine, which gives you more stability and a better balance. Other muscle groups, including the gluteus, shoulders, lats, arms, and legs, are toned and tightened as well.A new record for the plank exercise was set at last month’s competition by US fitness enthusiast and retired marine soldier George Hood. His time was four hours and one minute.How long can you hold the position? Of course, the time isn’t all that counts. But, why not take a few minutes every day to work toward a better and healthier body?1．There was a Plank World Cup in Beijing________.A．last year B．last month C．last week D．last November2．The plank is an exercise that suspends the body in a horizontal position with one’s________.A．legs and toes B．back C．forearms and toes D．hands and toes3．What does the underlined word “simplicity” mean?A．困难B．昂贵C．特殊D．简单4．According to the author, the plank can exercise our________.A．fingers B．muscles C．eyes D．toes5．What’s the passage mainly about?A．The plank—a good way to exercise.B．The most popular sport in China.C．The time limits of the plank.D．How to exercise muscles.（2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习）Stay active, stay fitPeople across the world need to get moving, according to a new study by the World Health Organization (WHO).About 25 percent of adults (成年人) do not get enough exercise, according to the study. This figure (数字) hasn’t changed from 2001. Because of this, about 1.4 billion people are at greater risk (风险) for deadly diseases (疾病) such as heart disease and cancer.People should do at least 150 minutes of “moderate intensity (中等强度)” exercise each week, such as dancing or swimming. They can also do 75 minutes of “vigorous intensity (高强度)” activity, such as running or playing soccer, according to the WHO.As f or how to exercise more, experts suggest we don’t have to go to the gym every time, the Guardian noted. For example, we can go up and down stairs a lot instead of taking the lift. If we don’t feel we can go to a dancing class each week, standing on one leg for 30 seconds a day is very good too.The study also found that women are less active than men, with 32 percent of women failing to exercise enough, compared to 23 percent of men. Women tend to spend more time at home taking care of children and doing housework, Time magazine noted.Countries with higher incomes showed higher rates of inactivity. For example, people in Kuwait and the United States exercise less than people in Uganda and Nepal. This is partly because in developed areas, desk jobs have taken the place of manual labor (体力劳动).6．About________ of adults do not get enough exercise.A．23% B．25% C．30% D．32%7．The risk of having deadly diseases can be related to________ according to the study.A．smoking B．drinking C．exercise D．sleeping8．According to the WHO, people should do at least________of “moderate intensity” exercise each week.A．75 minutes B．30 seconds C．150 seconds D．150 minutes9．23 percent of ________do not have enough exercise.A．adults B．women C．men D．children10．What does the passage mainly tell us?A．People around the world need to exercise.B．People around the world need to learn swimming.C．People around the world need to do manual labor.D．Men need to do housework.（2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习）Catch discs on lawnFrisbee is both competitive and socialIn recent years, a sport has become popular for how social (社交的) it is.

It was held over a weekend in a park in Paris. Like most music festivals, it had wonderful singers and music. However, there was something special about this one.

Take the sentence “How do you do?” for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.Languages don’t just have different sounds, and they are different in many ways. It’s important to ma ster the rules for the word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.” “I have seen the movie already.” “I have already seen the movie.”When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.26．From the passage we know that ________ when we are learning English.A．we shouldn’t put every word in to our own languageB．we should look up every word in the dictionaryC．we need to put every word into our own languageD．we must read word by word27．The writer thinks it is ________ in learning English.A．difficult to understand different sounds B．possible to remember the word orderC．important to master the rules for the word order D．easy to master the rules for the word order 28．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the wordsB．the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentenceC．sometimes different orders of words have different meaningsD．if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different29．“She only likes apples.” ________.A．is the same as “Only she likes apples.”B．is different from “Only she likes apples.”C．mean “She likes fruit except apples.”D．means “She doesn’t like apples.”30．Which is the best title for the passage?A．Different Orders, Different Meanings B．How to Speak EnglishC．How to Put English into Our Own Language D．How to Learn English（2022秋·八年级校考单元测试）There are three common questions about how to improve our English.The first question is about real English. Some students say that they want to learn rea l English. But they don’t know what to do. Watching English films is a good way. When we are tired after studying for a long time, we can watch an English film to relax. While watching it, we can also learn real English at the same time.The second question is about speaking, Most speaking. Most students feel too shy to talk with foreigners.“Where are you from?” What do you think of China?” There are both good questions to start a conversation. Before we begin, take a deep breath and smile! Smiling always helps.The third question is about vocabulary. We want to remember all the new words. The problem is that we write them down but forget them soon. Write eight or ten words on a piece of paper and put it in our bedroom. Try to remember them. Spell the words whenever we see them, and change them every day. There is another way, when you’re shopping, counting the English words or saying the English names for everything you see as much as possible.31．According to the second paragraph, what can we do to learn real English?A．Talk to foreign friends.

2024初中英语中考总复习任务型阅读专项练习一Are you an “I person” or an “E person”? These two personality labels (个性标签) are widely discussed online. They are part of a popular personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI. All of the results have four letters, and there are 16 results in total. “I” stands for “introverted (内向的)” and “E” refers to “extroverted”.Even if someone is typically quiet, many online discussions suggest that an “I” person can still act outgoing at times. For example, when an introverted person is with a group of introverted friends, they might become more social like an “E” person. According to experts, this is called “masking”. That is hiding your true personality in some situations. Because human beings want to get the sense of belonging by pleasing others.Using the MBTI result to identify (识别) and describe someone’s personality seems fun. However, I went too far at one time. My sister was excitedly making a day-to-day travel plan when I remembered from an article that “P people” don’t like to make or stick to plans, so I said to her, “You don’t seem like a ‘P person’.” “Why?” she asked back. “Since when do I need to follow what my personality test tells me to do?” It was then I realized I’d taken the result too seriously.The M BTI personality test may show something you don’t know about yourself and can even be a fun ice-breaker question when meeting new friends. And that’s all it is—for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person. And those four letters of yours don’t define (定义) who you are.阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

高中英语语篇阅读提能练(建议用时：30分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解ABasketball is one of the world’s greatest sports. But of course, it hasn’t been around since the world began. No, somebody had to have invented it. And that somebody would be James Naismith.Born in Almonte, Ontario, Canada, this Canadian Gym teacher and physician would soon be the founder of basketball. It all started in December of 1891.Naismith was teaching in Springfield, Massachusetts and was asked by Luther H. Gulick，the headmaster of the school for Christian Works to make a new sport. The main idea of the sport was mainly to be played inside when it was too cold to go outside. The new sport also had to keep athletes in their top conditions between the baseball and football season. Naismith began to work. The first game-ball was a soccer ball.The first baskets were peach baskets that Naismith cleverly thought of hanging on the wall. From there, the legacy of basketball began. Originally，there was 9 men to each team，but the objective was still the same: to pass the ball to other players on your team and put the ball in the opposing team’s net, or basket back then. From there, basketball caught on like a wildfire.During 1895 high schools and colleges began to adopt the game，and by 1898，the first Pro League was founded. After the first game played, Naismith drafted 13 rules and regulations, but many more were yet to come. The hoops we know today were invented in 1906.They were steel，with a net hanging from its rim.Dr. James Naismith is known worldwide as the inventor of basketball. The concept of basketball was born from Naismith’s school days in the area where he played a simple child’s game known as duckonarock outside his one-room schoolhouse. The game involved attempting to knock a “duck” off the top of a large rock by tossing another rock at it. Naismith went on to attend McGill University in Montreal，Quebec，Canada.1．The purpose of basketball first was probably ．A．building up the constitution of high studentsB．a kind of subject designed at schoolC．a new sport played inside from cold weatherD．richening activities of studentsC解析：细节理解题。

她总是把伞挂在门边的把手上，有几次险些忘记把伞拿走。
有个青年已经对她倾慕很久，这把伞给了他跟她说话的机会。
“你忘记拿伞了，”有一天他腼腆地对她说。
她嫣然一笑。
他们就这样认识了。
后来有几个星期，有几次我看见他们坐在一起，谈得很起劲。
又过了几个月，我看见他们手上戴了结婚戒指。
可是他们不像以前那样健谈了，她又在看书，他在看报。
我始终没注意到两人关系已改变到什么地步，直到有一天她又忘记了拿伞。
“你的伞！”她丈夫不耐烦地叫到---跟过去的温柔的态度完全不同了。
3.因有雪光，天仿佛亮得早了些。
快到年底，不少人家买来鸡喂着，鸡的鸣声比往日多了几倍。
处处鸡啼，大有些丰年瑞雪的景况。
祥子可是一夜没睡好。
到后半夜，他忍了几个盹儿，迷迷糊糊的，似睡不睡的，象浮在水那样忽起忽落，心中不安。
越睡越冷，听到了四处的鸡叫，他实在撑不住了。
不愿惊动老程，他蜷着腿，用被子堵上嘴咳嗽，还不敢起来。
忍着，等着，心中非常的急躁。
好容易等到天亮，街上有了大车的轮声与赶车人的呼叱，他坐了起来。
坐着也是冷，他立起来，系好了纽扣，开开一点门缝向外看了看。
雪并没有多么厚，大概在半夜里就不下了；天似乎已晴，可是灰绿绿的看不甚清，连雪上也有一层很淡的灰影似的。

高考英语阅读理解训练100篇
高考英语阅读理解训练100篇(1－10)高考英语阅读训练（001）You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battlescene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls tool1. Stuntmen are those who ______.A. often dress up as actorsB. prefer to lead dangerous livesC. often perform seemingly dangerous actionsD. often fight each other for their lives2. Stuntmen earn their living by ______.A. playing their dirty tricksB. selling their special skillsC.jumping out of high windowsD. jumping from fast moving trains3. When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______.A.he needs little protectionB. he will be covered with a mattressC.his life is endangeredD. his safety is generally all right4. Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance?A. Strength.B. Exactness.C. Speed.D. Carefulness.5. What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntman?A.Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.B.The percentage of serious accidents is high.C.Parachutes must be of good quality.D. The cliff is too high.KEY: 1- 5 CBDBA高考英语阅读训练（002）activity which was almost unknown to the learned in the earlydays of the history, while during the fifteenth century the term "reading" undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become popular.One should be careful, however, of supposing that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is distraction (分散注意力) to others. Examination of reasons connected with the historical development of silent reading shows that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.The last century saw a gradual increase in literacy (读写能力) and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of listeners dropped, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the popularity of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, trains and offices, where reading aloud would disturb other readers in a way.Towards the end of the century there was still heated argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its advantages, the old shared literacy culture had gone and wasreplaced by the printed mass media (媒介) on the one hand and by books and magazines for a specialized readership on the other.By the end of the century students were being advised to have some new ideas of books and to use skills in reading them which were not proper, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological developments in the century had greatly changed what the term "reading" referred to.1. Why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth century?A. Because silent reading had not been discovered.B. Because there were few places for private reading.C. Because few people could read for themselves.D. Because people depended on reading for enjoyment.2. The development of silent reading during the nineteenth century showed .A. a change in the position of literate peopleB. a change in the nature of readingC. an increase in the number of booksD. an increase in the average age of readers3. Educationalists are still arguing about _________.A. the importance of silent readingB. the amount of information provided by books and newspapersC. the effects of reading on healthD. the value of different types of reading material4. What is the writer of this passage attempting to do?A. To explain how present day reading habits developed.B. To change people's way to read.C. To show how reading methods have improved.D. To encourage the growth of reading.KEY: 1-4 CBDA高考英语阅读训练（003）In some ways, the United States has made some progress. Fires no longer destroy 18,000 buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, or kill half a town of 2,400 people, as they did the same night in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. Other than the BeverlyHill Supper Club fire in Kentucky in 1977, it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire.But even with such successes, the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology, but the indifference(无所谓) of a country that just will not take fires seriously enough. American fire departments are some of the world's fastest and best-equipped. They have to be. The United States has twice Japan's population, and 40 times as many fires. It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them. And American fire -safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at children, who die in large numbers in fires but who, against popular beliefs, start very few of them.Experts say the error is an opinion that fires are not really anyone's fault. That is not so in other countries, where both public education and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime(罪行). Japan has many wood houses; of the 48 fires in world history that burned more than 10,000 buildings, Japan has had 27. Punishment for causing a big fire can be as severe as life imprisonment.In the United States, most education dollars are spent in elementary schools. But, the lessons are aimed at too limited a number of people; just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with matches.The United States continues to depend more on technology than laws or social pressure. There are smoke detectors in 85 percent of all homes. Some local building laws now require home sprinklers (喷水装置). New heaters and irons shut themselves off if they are tipped.1. The reason why so many Americans die in fires is that _____.A. they took no interest in new technologyB. they did not pay great attention to preventing firesC. they showed indifference to fighting firesD. they did not spend enough money on fire equipment2. It can be inferred from the passage that______.A. fire safety lessons should not be aimed only at American childrenB. American children have not received enough education of fire safety lessonsC. Japan is better equipped with fire equipment than the United StatesD. America's large population leads to more fires3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. There has been no great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that leads to high death rate.B. There have been several great fires in the USA in recent 40 years that lead to high death rate.C. There has been only one great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that led to high death rate.D. The fire in Kentucky in 1977 made only a few people killed. KEY: BAC高考英语阅读训练（004）Nuclear power's(核能的) danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be described in one word; radiation(辐射).Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected (探测) by human senses. It can't be seen orheard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells (细胞) in important organs (器官). But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治疗) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak oreasy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.1. According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in __________.A. nuclear mysteryB. radiation detectionC. radiation levelD. nuclear radiation2. Radiation can lead to serious results even at the lowest level ________.A. when it kills few cellsB. if it damages few cellsC. though the damaged cells can repair themselvesD. unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves3. Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can _____.A. kill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediatelyB. damage cells which may grow into cancer years laterC. affect the healthy growth of our younger generationD. lead to all of the above results4. Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?A. The importance of protection from radiation cannot be overemphasized (过分强调).B. The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.C. Cancer is mainly caused by radiation.D. Radiation can hurt those who do not know about its danger. KEY: 1- 4 DBDA高考英语阅读训练（005）Today is the date of that afternoon in April a year ago when I first saw the strange and attractive doll（玩具娃娃）in the window of Abe Sheftel's toy shop on Third Avenue near Fifteenth Street, just around the corner from my office, where the plate on the door reads. Dr Samuel Amory. I remember just how it was that day: the first sign of spring floated across the East River, mixing with the soft - coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighbourhood. As I turned the corner on my way to work and came to Sheftel's, I was made once more known of the poor collection of toys in the dusty window, and I remembered the coming birthday of a small niece of mine in Cleveland, to whom Iwas in the habit of sending small gifts. Therefore, I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything suitable, and looked at the collection of unattractive objects--a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellowed envelopes, and advertisements for soft - drinks. And thus it was that my eyes finally came to rest upon the doll stored away in one corner, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, due to the shadows and the film of dust through which I was looking, but I was sure that a deep impression had been made upon me as though I had run into a person, as one does sometimes with a stranger, with whose personality one is deeply impressed.1. What made an impression on the author?A. The doll's unusual face.B. The collection of toys.C. A stranger he met at the store.D. The beauty and size of the doll.2. Why does the author mention his niece?A. She likes dolls.B. The doll looks like her.C. She lives near Sheftel's.D. He was looking for a gift for her.3. Why did the writer go past Sheftel's?A. He was on his way to school.B. He was looking for a present for his niece.C. He wanted to buy some envelopes.D. None of the above is right.4. The story takes place in the ______.A. early summerB. early springC. midsummerD. late springKEY: 1-5 ADDB高考英语阅读训练（006）Technology is the application (应用)of knowledge to production. Thanks to modern technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force. New machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expense whileincreasing overall output. This has meant more production and a higher standard of living. For most of us in America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets. However, technology has also increased the amount of food available (有用的)to us, by means of modern farming machinery and animalbreeding techniques, and has extended our life span via()medical technology.Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? In large measure the answer depends on technology and our ability to use it widely. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The advancement of technology depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics (统计) show that the united States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually(每年) into such efforts. So while we are running out of some scarce resources (少的资源) we may well find technological substitutes (代用品) for many of them through our research programs. Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of production (land, labor and capital) are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills on techniques in medicine, people will start developing new technology to meet those needs. As equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines willbe invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us maintain our standard of living.1. What is the best title for the passage?A. The definition of technologyB. Modern technologyC. The application of technologyD. The development of technology2.

Maybe you have seen pictures of these“fireworks”of nature. Sometimes when a volcano erupts, a very large wall of melted rock moves down the side of a mountain. It looks like a “river of tire.”Sometimes volcanoes explode, throwing the melted rock and ashes(灰)high into the air. But where does this melted rock come from?The earth is made up of many layers(层). The top layer that we see is called the crust. Under the crust are many layers of hard rock. But far, far beneath the crust whose rock is so hot, that it is soft. In some places it even melts. The melted rock is called magma. Sometimes the magma breaks out to the surface through cracks(爆裂声)in the crust. These cracks are volcanoes.Most people think of mountains when they think of volcanoes. But not every mountain is a volcano. A volcano is simply the opening in the earth from which the magma escapes. The hot magma, or lava as it is called, cols and builds up on the surface of the earth. Over thousands of years, this pile of cooled lava can grow to be very, very big. For example, the highest mountain in Africa, Kilimanjaro, is a volcano. It towers more than 16,000 feet above the ground around it.1.The underlined word“erupts”means .A. moves downB. breaks awayC. builds upD. suddenly throws out lava2.Which words in the passage have the same meaning as “melted rock”?A.“Volcano”and“explode”.B.“Crust”and“hard rock”C.“magma”and“lava”D.“Volcano”and“magma”3.Which is the correct order of the layers of the earth(beginning with the top layer)?A. crust-hard rock-magma-soft rockB. crust-hard rock- soft rock-magmaC. magma-soft rock- hard rock-crustD. volcano-cracks-magma-crust4.The best title(标题) of the passage should be u.A.

Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,”says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue.Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near——but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does.I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.1.How do you understand‘Point 1 —The telephone creates the need to communicate,6…’？A. People don’t communicate without telephone.B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.D. People communicate more because of more traffic.2.Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?A. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people.C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.D. Mobile phones are part of people’s life.3.

The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students—“so passive”—and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’ s passivity. “We’ re talking about a g eneration of kids who’ ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying ‘go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”Yes, it does.
