一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Shark attacks not only disturb beach activities, but can affect associated tourist industries. Shark nets are a common solution to preventing shark attacks on beaches, but they cause dangers to sea ecosystems.Seeking a cost-effective way to monitor beach safety over large areas, we have developed a system called Shark Spotter. It combines artificial intelligence (AI), computing power, and drone (无人机) technology to identify and warn lifesavers to sharks near swimmers. The project is a cooperation between the University of Technology Sydney and The Ripper Group, which is pioneering the use of drones—called "Westpac Little Ripper Lifesavers"—in the search and rescue movement in Australia.SharkSpotter can detect sharks and other potential threats using real-time aerial imagery. The system analyses video from a camera attached to a drone to monitor beaches for sharks, send warnings, and conduct rescues. Developed with techniques known as "deep learning", the Shark Spotter system receives imagery from the drone camera and attempts to identify all objects in the scene. Once certain objects are detected, they are put into one of 16 categories: shark, whale, dolphin, rays, different types of boats, surfers, and swimmers.If a shark is detected, Shark Spotter provides both a visual sign on the computer screen and an audible warning to the operator. The operator confirms the warning and sends text messages from the Shark Spotter system to the Surf Life Savers for further action. In an emergency, the drone is equipped with a lifesaving flotation pod (漂浮仓) together with an electronic shark repellent (驱逐装置) that can be dropped into the water in cases where swimmers are in severe trouble, trapped in a rip, or if there are sharks close by.In January 2018, the Westpac Little Ripper Lifesavers was used to rescue two young swimmers caught in a rip at Lennox Head, NSW. The drone flew down the beach some 800 meters from the lifeguard station, and a lifesaving flotation pod was dropped from the drone. The complete rescue operation took 70 seconds.We believe Shark Spotter is a win-win for both marine life and beachgoers. This unique technology combines dynamic video image processing AI and advanced drone technology to creatively deal with the global challenge of ensuring safe beaches, protecting environments, and promoting tourism.(1)A Shark Spotter is ________.A. a solution to monitor sharksB. an equipment to identify lifesaversC. a technology to prevent shark attacksD. a project to pioneer the use of drones(2)When a shark is spotted near a swimmer, the system will ________.A. take timely actionB. analyze the visual dataC. classify the identified objectsD. turn on "deep learning" mode(3)The example in the 5th paragraph shows us that the system is ________.A. efficient in saving livesB. effective in detecting sharksC. smart in driving sharks awayD. practical over the whole sea area(4)What is the author's attitude towards the future of SharkSpotter?A.Doubtful.B.Optimistic.C.Negative.D.Objective.【答案】(1)C(2)A(3)A(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一种旨在防止鲨鱼袭击的技术Shark Spotter 的工作原理以及重要意义。

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解It started during a yoga class. She felt a strange pull on her neck, a feeling completely foreign to her. Her friend suggested she rush to the emergency room. It turned out that she was having a heart attack.She didn't share similar symptoms with someone who was likely to have a heart attack. She exercised, watched her plate and did not smoke. But on reviewing her medical history, I found that her cholesterol (胆固醇) level was sky-high. She had been prescribed a cholesterol-lowering statin (他汀) medication, but she never picked up the prescription because of the scary things she had read about statins on the Internet. She was the victim of fake medical news.While misinformation has been the object of great attention in politics, medical misinformation might lead to an increase in deaths. As is true with fake news in general, medical lies tend to spread further than truths on the Internet—and they have very real bad consequences.False medical information can also lead to patients experiencing greater side effects through the "nocebo effect (反安慰剂效应) ". Sometimes patients benefit from an intervention (干预) simply because they believe they will—that's the placebo effect (安慰剂效应). The nocebo effect is the opposite. Patients can experience harmful effects because they anticipate them. This is very true of statins. In blinded trials, patients who get statins are no more likely to report feeling muscle aches than patients who get a placebo. Yet, in clinical practice, according to one study, almost a fifth of patients taking statins report side effects, leading many to discontinue the drugs. What else is on the fake news hit list? As always, vaccines (疫苗) . False concerns that the vaccine may cause side effects have greatly reduced coverage rates.Cancer is another big target for pushers of medical misinformation—many of whom refuse alternative therapies. "Though most people think cancer tumors are bad, they're actually the way your body attempts to contain the harmful cells," one fake news story reads. It warns that prescription medications lead to the uncontrolled cell mutations (变异) .Silicon Valley needs to face this problem. I am not a free-speech lawyer, but when human health is at risk, perhaps search engines, social media platforms and websites should be held responsible for promoting or hosting fake information. Meanwhile, journalists should do a better job of spreading accurate information.(1)We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.A. the woman paid little attention to her daily dietsB. the unhealthy lifestyle might lead to the woman's heart attackC. the symptom of the heart attack was familiar to the womanD. the woman didn't take the prescription due to fake medical news(2)According to the passage, the placebo effect functions because patients ________. A. neglect necessary treatment B. discontinue the harmful drugsC. believe the benefits of an interventionD. suffer more side effects(3)What does the author mean by claiming that "he is not a free-speech lawyer" in the lastparagraph?A. He is a lawyer very easy to speak to.B. He is good at speaking because of his job.C. He is available to give a speech on the law.D. He is very cautious when speaking something(4)The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A. remind us to take medication as prescribedB. warn us against fake medical news on the InternetC. encourage journalists to report more positive news eventsD. teach us how to distinguish fake medical news on the Internet【答案】(1)D(2)C(3)D(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,通过举例来论证了网络谣言,尤其是关于药物的网络谣言有巨大的杀伤力。

But while previous winners of this round have returned to wearing make-up for the final, she will not. And if she wins, she says she will leave it off for the Miss World competition, hoping to “inspire the world”.“I wanted to prove we have a choice,” she tells BBC News. Since last week’s bare-face round, Ms. Raouf has been “overwhelmed” by positive messages on social media. At her early age, Ms. Raouf was “significantly insecure”, and found comparing herself to the “unrealistic standard of beauty” shown on social media had a negative impact on her mental health. But as she got older she gained confidence-and she thinks taking part in the beauty contest, while “very scary” at the time, has increased this.Ms. Raouf does not object to wearing make-up in general, and will still do so on other occasions. She only wants girls to place more value on their “inner beauty” rather than comparing themselves to others. “When you wear that amount of make-up you’re just concealing yourself. Remove all those layers and you’ll see who you truly are,” she adds.Miss World was first organized in 1951 in the UK. Some of the rules of entry for the competition have not been changed since then. Miss England hopefuls cannot be older than 27 in their year of entry, and are not allowed to be married or have given birth to children. In2018, Veronika Didusenko, who had been crowned Miss Ukraine, said the rules needed to change after she had her title taken away for being a mother.Altering entry rules is difficult but not impossible. Some netizens commented, “Some contestants, Ms. Raouf included, use their platform to do something good in the world.”7.Ms.Raouf won’t wear make-up in the final of the Miss England contest in orderto .A.prove girls’ natural charmsB.show her objection to make-upC.get a better place in the finalD.challenge the competition rules8.What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.The negative impact.B.Her sense of insecurity.C.Her confidence.D.Her objection to make-up.9.Who is qualified for the Miss World competition in the UK?A.Sopher, 26, an engineer who is pregnant.B.Laura, 23, a teacher at St Mary’s School Ascot.C.Marbella, 28, a graduate from Glasgow University.D.Jennifer, 25, a housewife who looks after all the household duties.10.Which of the following can best describe Ms. Raouf?A.Bold and confident.B.Responsible and talented.C.Honest and considerate.D.Outgoing and determined.Ever since the fall of the Venetian Republic in 1797, locals have complained that Venice, its former capital, is being overrun by visitors. Having spent decades trying to attract tourists, the city council is now rethinking its approach.Earlier this year, the city proclaimed that visitors who enter Venice are demanded to pay a fee ranging from 3 to 10 euros in the peak season when the city is very crowded, unless they have booked the ticket into V enice beforehand. This regulation will come into effect inJanuary 2023.It is not only Venetians who think there are too many tourists. In Amsterdam, locals are fed up with drunk visitors leaving a trail of litter. Some of the protests even attacked tourist buses and left the graffiti saying “tourists go home, refugees welcome.” The word“over-tourism” is created to describe the consequences of having too many tourists. Even so, the rise in the number of the tourists is not the real problem. Says Alex Dichter of McKinsey, “People in 99% of countries in the world are crying out for more tourists, not fewer.” He explains, “The problem is that these tourists are all traveling to the same places.”This has surprised many in the travel industry. The spread of the Internet was meant to disperse (分散) tourists by making less well-known places easier to find. Analyst at Skift, a travel website, attribute it to the rise of the “bucket list”, which featured a “list of things to do before I kick the bucket.” And the result is obvious —— tourists are all directed to the same “must see” places.Local authorities are working on strategies to cope. An extreme reaction is to ban tourists entirely or to limit visitor numbers. A more subtle approach is to make changes to taxes and charges. Tourists staying in the city center pay a higher tax rate than those staying far away. Thordis, Iceland’s tourist minister says, another part of the answer is to spread visitors out by making different marketing campaigns or improving tourist attractions for unfavorable seasons.Venice is currently improving its infrastructures to encourage tourists to visit more than just the main sights. Traditionalists may refuse to build any new infrastructure in beautiful old cities. But more links can benefit locals and visitors alike. One Chinese tourist thought this was a good idea, “I might be able to see more of the history that way.”11.According to Paragraph 2, who is going to pay the extra fee?A.A visitor who spends a night in Venice in the peak season.B.A visitor who comes in the off season with friends.C.A visitor who buys the entrance ticket upon arrival in hot seasons.D.A visitor who comes in the hot season with reservations.12.According to Alex Dichter, which statement is TRUE?A.Most of the countries are demanding fewer tourists.B.The locals in Amsterdam welcome the visitors.C.People are travelling to various places.D.People all tend to go to the same places for sightseeing.13.What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Get a job.B.Get married.C.Pass away.D.Graduate from university.14.Which of the following can be an effective measure against over-tourism according to Thordis?A.Preventing the visitors from coming in peak seasons.B.Charging the visitors more fees when crowded.C.Building a hot spring in the remote cold area.D.Constructing more infrastructures in popular scenic spots.In China, in order to ease the pressure on parents’ wallets, education is free until children reach the age of about 15. So why is it that more than half of a typical family’s spending goes on education? The answer is cramming classes: a financial burden so great that it is often said to discourage couples from having children at all. Now officials are doing their part. It appears to relieve the pressure on people’s wallets.But parents are not sure whether it will work. As many of them see it, cramming is not optional. Exams for entry to senior high schools are fiercely competitive. Then comes the dreaded Gaokao: the university-entrance exam on which a child’s future depends. No wonder the industry’s growth has been rapid. One firm, Zuoyebang (“help with homework”) says it offers live-streaming classes to more than 170m active users each month.But officials are worried about its social impact. The birth rate is the lowest in decades and China is ageing fast. They also say that school children are overstressed. Urban pupils attend cramming classes for more than 10 hours a week, according to Deloitte, an accountancy firm.While as the People’s Daily, an official newspaper, reported this month, the market for such services is in “endless chaos”. It listed problems ranging from misleading advertising to high prices and the use of unqualified teachers.Government’s new regulations of clamping down on cram schools sent shivers through the industry. New Oriental, one of China’s biggest cramming companies, saw its share price on the New York Stock Exchange drop below $8, from a high of more than $19 in February. On June 9th the education ministry said a new government department would be set up tooversee such businesses, including both online courses and lessons in the classroom. There is also a widespread speculation, including in state media, that the new rules will impose limits on when firms can offer classes. They may, for example, prohibit classes after a certain time in the evening, during the summer holidays or at weekends.Some analysts think the government may have another motive. Many of the companies belong to China’s tech giants, including Alibaba and Tencent, which have already attracted government’s attention for dominating markets and expanding into finance and other areas. Targeting the cramming business could be another way of breaking their wings. Parents wonder whether they will benefit. Some are concerned that the new rules will leave them with no choice but to use private tutors, which could prove even more costly.15.Why do cramming schools enjoy great popularity among Chinese students?A.The exams are so demanding that they have no choice.B.The live-streaming classes offered are really appealing.C.Entering senior high schools makes them less competitive.D.Government officials are worried about their performance.16.What is NOT a problem put forward by the People’s Daily with the cram school market? A.High fees.B.Experienced tutors.C.Improper advertising.D.Chaotic management.17.What can we infer about the parents’ attitude towards the new regulations? A.Supportive.B.Indifferent.C.Skeptical.D.Critical. 18.What is the main idea of this passage?A.China’s tech giants control the market.B.China says no to the cramming business.C.Gaokao imposes too much burden to students.D.New Oriental is the biggest cramming company.Best Tourist Spots in 2022!NepalIt’s nearly impossible to discuss Nepal without talking about Mount Everest. But this Himalayan nation has so much more on offer for travelers who aren’t climbing the world’s highest mountain. In the remote region of Mustang (which means “fertile plain”), trekkers can explore the high desert and meet locals at home-stays along the way, dining on Nepalispecialties.Holiday season:October & NovemberNorwayNorway is consistently included on lists of the world’s happiest countries.

So she started cycling and soon fell in love with the sport. “I realized a racing bicycle was quite different from a regular bike,” she said. “It’s very fast and exciting, and I couldn’t stop anymore.”Bicycles have long been a means of transport in China and once outnumbered cars on city streets. Now cycling is also increasingly seen as a sport by the urban middle class that has benefited from China’s growth into the world’s second largest economy. Biking events organized by Beijing cycling club Qiyi totaled about 10,000 participants over the past year, with about 50% of them regulars. Nationwide, at least 20 million people are participating in the sport, according to the Chinese Cycling Association.The pandemic has played a role, with authorities moving quickly to close non-essential businesses, including gyms, during outbreaks under a strict zero-COVID approach. Cycling, which can be done individually as well as in groups, has largely been free from restrictions that limit gathering. For cyclist Yang Lan, the reason why she loves cycling is that the sport provides an escape from the daily life in the coronavirus era. “With the pandemic, it seems to be the only way for us to run away from the terrible city life and pace,” she said.People will have more choices for sports and entertainment when the pandemic is over. But Feng Baozhong, the vice president of the Chinese Cycling Association says that he expects cycling to remain popular. Because it’s driven by China’s growing economy, growth of the sports industry and increasing concern about health due to COVID-19. “The pursuit of health will not disappear,” he said, “and the popularity of cycling is also a sign of the public’s awareness of environmental protection and pursuit of a low-carbon lifestyle.”22.How many people in the Qiyi club take part in cycling activities regularly?A.More than 10,000.B.Around 10,000.C.Around 5,000.D.Around 20,000,000.23.Why does Yang Lan love cycling?A.She enjoys cycling alone.B.She likes participating in cycling activities.C.She can get a break from the city life.D.She saves money by riding to work.24.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A.People are paying more attention to health issues.B.China’s economy is getting worse due to the pandemic.C.The sports industry is in crisis during the lockdown.D.Other sports will replace cycling when the pandemic is over.25.What is the most suitable title for the passage?A.Pandemic Harms Cycling B.Pandemic Fuels CyclingC.Cycling Boosts Sports Industry D.Cycling Means a Low-carbon LifestyleWhat a Scoop! Readers’ Favorite Ice-Cream ShopsFrom pear and cheese in Edinburgh to pomegranate ripple at Ventor, our reporters show off the coolest licks.Mary’s Milk Bar in the Grassmarket is popular with locals and visitors, and is the perfect pit stop for people dashing between fringe festival shows. Flavors change every day, with pear and cheese among the regulars. You can grab your ice and walk up the Vennel Steps for breathtaking views of Edinburgh castle.Aisha “Che buono! The best gelato (ice cream) outside Naples!” exclaimed my son’s Italian girlfriend on her first visit to Delphini’s. Giovanni grinned and gave her an extra, free scoop. Every day there’s a queue outside this shop in this progressive south Devon town. Delphini’s gelato is made out of organic local milk and cream. What’s more, it is dairy-free, making it a good option for vegans in Totnes.

Elizabeth would wave from her darkened room but refuse to join the gatherings. Nearly blind, and requiring oxygen, she never left her bedside. I soon learned, though, that she loved books, and every day after work I would read to her.In dim light we made our way through "King Lear," "Henry IV," "Jane Eyre," the poems of Rupert Brooke.Two golden hours might pass before I'd pack up to return to my apartment. Before I could leave she'd pressmy hand, saying, "Child --my literary child. You bring me such joy." Elizabeth's husband died a decade earlier, and their only child, a daughter, was distant for what heartbreaking reason I never knew.One day an old friend of hers visited and brought her some soup. Smiling broadly, Elizabeth squeezed my arm. "Tomorrow, child, we shall feast."The next evening I found Elizabeth's bed empty. "I'm sorry," the nurse whispered. She handed me a box and nodded. "She left everything to you." At home, I unpacked it, finding two white sweaters, the dozen leather-bound books and, at the bottom, the can of soup.That summer I decided ray path.

But something special among the debris (废墟) turned my day around.I joined a club to clean up the beach after the storm last November.

Neither of us makes a lot of money, but years of experience have taught us how to walk between the raindrops and make it from one month to the next with a fair amount of grace. I cook a lot at home, more when we're facing lean times. When I know that I have to keep usfed on notmuch money, I fall back on my grandmother's recipes. She taught me to cook.When I was a kid, my twin brother and I spent long summer weeks and Christmas vacations with my mother's parents in the mountains of North Carolina. Rather than go hunting with my grandfather on frozen mornings, I found myself more and more in the kitchen with my grandmother, watching her making a lemon cheese pie with her soft hands.My great-grandmother died when my grandmother was 11 years old. As the eldest daughter, she was expected to take on all of the housework while attending school. Throughout the Great Depression, she learned how to makea little food go a long way. Vegetables were cheap, so she cooked a lot of them, mostly only using small amounts of meat for seasoning. Roast beef was a twice-a-month luxury, but there was nothing she couldn't do with a chicken, every part of it. Nothing went to waste.Now I understand that her food was sacred. I feel connected to my grandmother and to hundreds of years offamily when I'm in my kitchen making country food. In the delicious smells is a long tale of victory over hard times, of conquering starvation--of not just surviving, but finding joy and pleasure in every meal of every day.From grandmother I learned to take real satisfaction in feeding people. My grandmother would beam withpleasure over a heavily laden table and say, "Do you know what this would cost at the restaurant?" I never knew what restaurant in particular she had in mind, but I knew that the question was totally not fair, because no restaurantanywhere can cook like a grandmother. But now, thanks to her guidance and years of practice, I can.28. According to the passage, the author cooks a lot at home because__________.A. she wants to try out her grandmother's recipesB. she and her husband are quite particular about foodC. she enjoys cooking at homeD. she and her husband are embarrassed financially29.

Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Cook like My GrandmotherB. My Grandmother's Sacred FoodC. My Grandmother's RecipeD. Joy and Pleasure in Cooking5."Joe? Is that you?" The woman speaking to me at the baseball game looked a little familiar. "Marci?" I asked."It IS you !" she cried out, smiling broadly. "Gosh, it's good tosee you again !"It was good to see Marci, too. Off and on during the past few decades, I've wondered about her. I almost triedto search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci. So meeting her at the baseball game was really out of expectation.We spent a few minutes talking about our lives—the good old, bad old days. Then Marci grew quiet for a moment. "You know, Joe," she said, " I've always wanted to tell you…how…how sorry I am for the way I tr you. You must have been hurt both physically and mentally." I was a little embarrassed. I turned and looked at her."It's OK," I said, "No big deal!" "But I was such a jerk," she continued. Yes you were, I thought. "We were bothpretty young," I smiled. "I know." she said, "It's just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you.And I've wanted to tell you that I'm sorry."The expression on her face was warm and sincere. And there was something in her eyes—it looked a lot like relief. "OK," I said. "Apology accepted!" Overcome by the sweetness of the moment, I reached an arm around herand gave her a quick hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game. By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it.It isn't enough to just say "I'm sorry" and "You're forgiven." But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed, they can open the door to miracles of the heart. Forgiveness can bringpeace to an injured soul—even years after the fact. Even at a baseball game.21. What kind of life did Marci live during the late 20th century according to the passage?A. Happy.B. Busy.C. Hard.D. Simple.22.

Why did Marci look in relief after talking with the author?A. Because her favorite tea m won the game.B. Because she learned Joe was living a good life.C. Because she made an apology to the author.D. Because she found she was not mean any longer.24. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Excitement of a Baseball GameB. Mental Burden of a WomanC. Miracles of ForgivenessD. Relief of Finding a friend6.John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face hedidn't, the girl with the rose.His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwritingreflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II.During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt thatif he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like.When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting --7:00 PM at the Great Central Station in New York. "You'll recognize me," she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel."So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd never seen.I'll let Mr. Blanchard tell you what happened: A young woman was coming toward me, and her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears; her eyes were blue as flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive. I started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, attractive smile curved her lips. "Going my way, sailor?" she murmured.Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, andthen I saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away. I feltas though I was split in two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly accompanied me and upheld my own.And there she stood Her pale,plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify meto her.This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful. I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out thebook to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment. I'm Lieutenant (中尉)John Blanchard,and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?"The woman's face broadened into a tolerant smile. "I don't know what this is about, son," she answered, "butthe young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across thestreet She said it was some kind of test!"It's not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to theunattractive, "Tell me whom you love," Houssaye wrote, "And I will tell you who you are."65. The underlined phrase "intrigued" in Paragraph 2 means "______" .A. satisfied withB. fascinated byC. encouraged byD. frustrated with66. How did John Blanchard know of Miss Hollis Maynell?A.

Which of the following can be the best title for thepassage?A. Don't Judge a Book by its CoverB. The Symbol of RoseC. Love is BlindD. A Test of Love7.I went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film. We set off early for a distant water hole. Ahuge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water.He wasn't going to hurry now. We thought that he'd drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead.We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephant's body, and let out over 100 liters of pus(脓)--the result of the elephant's meeting with a poacher months ago.Today's poacher shoots from a distance. An arrow, covered with poison, is fired into the body of an elephant. If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies. Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once-- it doesn't mean the poison won't finally killthe elephant, but it will be a slow death.Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time. When I think aboutthe death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground. I took some comfort from the knowledge that as thedead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit-- but I couldn't escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.24. While filming near the water hole, the author and his team ______.A. knew the elephant was injuredB. found the elephant acted violentlyC. tried their best to save the elephantD. thought the elephant was in good condition25. According to the passage, the underlined word "poacher" is probably ______.A. A hunter who kills or catches animals illegallyB. A kind of fierce meat-eating animalC. A serious disease that can infect elephantsD. A kind of deadly poison26. Further examination showed that the dead elephant ______.A. had suffered a lotB. was killed by a poisonous needleC. had suffered an hour or twoD. had had a good fight with a poacher27. Why did the author write the article?A. To introduce the African elephant.B. To show the cruelty of poaching.C. To describe his filming experience.D. To ask readers to protect wild animals.8.Pete Richards was the loneliest man in town on the day that little Jean Grace opened the door of his shop.Pete's grandfather had owned the shop until his death. Thenthe shop became Pete's. The front window wasfull of beautiful old things: jewelry of a hundred years ago, gold and silver boxes, carved figures from China and Japan and other nations.On this winter afternoon, a child stood there, her face close to the window. With large and serious eyes, she studied each piece in the window. Then, looking pleased, she stepped back from the window and went into the shop. Pete himself stood behind the counter. His eyes were cold as he looked at the small girl. " Please," she began, " would you let me look at the pretty string of blue beads in the window?" Pete took the string of blue beads from the window. The beads were beautiful against his hand as he held the necklace up for her to see."They are just right," said the child as though she were alone with the beads. "Will you wrap them up in pretty paper for me, please? I've been looking for a really wonderful Christmas present for my sister."How much money do you have?" asked Pete.She put a handful of pennies on the counter. "This is all I have," she explained simply. "I've been saving the money for my sister's present. "Pete looked at her, his eyes thoughtful. Then he carefully closed his hand over the price mark on the necklace so that she could not see it. How could he tell her the price? The happy look in her big blue eyes struck him like the pain of an old wound."Just a minute," he said and went to the back of the shop. "What's your name?" he called out. He was very busy about something."Jean Grace," answered the child.When Pete returned to the front of the shop, he held apackage in his hand. It was v/rapped in pretty Christmas paper."There you are," he said. "Don't lose it on the way home. "She smiled happily at him as she ran out of the door. Through the window he watched her go. He felt more alone than ever.Something about Jean Grace and her string of beads had made him feel once more the pain of his old grief. The child's hair was as yellow as the sunlight; her eyes were as blue as the sea. Once upon a time, Pete had loved a girl with hair of that same yellow and with eyes just as blue. And the necklace of blue stones had been meant for her.But one rainy night, a car had gone off the road and struck the girl. After she died, Pete felt that he had nothing left in the world except his grief. The blue eyes of Jean Grace brought him out of that world of self-pity and made him remember again all that he had lost. The pain of remembering was so great that Pete wanted to run away from the happy Christmas shoppers who came to look at his beautiful old things during the next ten days.When the last shopper had gone, late on Christmas Eve, The door opened and a young woman came in. Pete could not understand it, but he felt that he had seen her before. Her hair was sunlight yellow and her eyes weresea-blue. Without speaking, she put on the counter a package wrapped in pretty Christmas paper. When Pete opened the package, the string of blue beads lay again before him.Did this come from your shop?" she asked.Pete looked at her with eyes no longer cold. "Yes, it did," he said."Are the stones real?""Yes. They aren't the best turquoise(绿松石), but they are real. ""Can you remember to whom you sold them?""She was a small girl. Her name was Jean. She wanted them for her sister's Christmas present. ""How much were they?""I can't tell you that," he said. "The seller never tells anyone else what a buyer pays. ""But Jean has never had more than a few pennies. How could she pay for them?""She paid the biggest price one can ever pay," he said.For a moment there was no sound in the little shop. Then somewhere in the city, church bells began to ring. It was midnight and the beginning of another Christmas Day."But why did you do it?" the girl asked.Pete put the package into her hands."There is no one else to whom I can give a Christmas present," he said. "It is already Christmas morning. Will you let me take you to your home? I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas at your door. "And so, to the sound of many bells, Pete Richards and a girl whose name he had not yet learned walked outinto the hope and happiness of a new Christmas Day.27. Pete did not say the price of the necklace because ______.A. the seller never tells anyone else what a buyer paysB. he priced the necklace too highC. he knew it would disappoint the girlD. he didn't want to sell the necklace28.

In fact, the supervisor often said unpleasant things to her.One day, while talking with her friend Maria, she mentioned how discouraged she gave her the name of a cousin of hers who was director of Human Resources Department for a large chemical company. Martha called him the next day and set up an interview on her lunch hour.During the interview, Mr. Petri said, "You're just the kind of person we need here. You're being wasted in your other job. Give me a call in a day or two. I'm sure we can find a place for you in our organization." Martha was so happy she almost danced out of the building.。

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解At 88, my grandmother Vera has dementia and barely recognizes me. But I'm determined to help her age with dignity and grace in her home for as long as she can.Since 2015, I've been a manager at Honor, a technology company that uses a website and an app to pair professional caregivers (we call them Care Pros) with loved ones who need a hand. I want to make sure we are offering all our clients (客户), including my grandmother, a service that is affordable, with people who are reliable, diverse and skilled. On Sundays. Amy, my grandmother's most-loved Honor professional caregiver, comes over to get her dressed for church. She loves the time she spends with Amy. That's the best gift I can give her and the best gift I can give myself. Care giving can exhaust a family emotionally and physically. At Honor, we're trying to create something that makes it easier for women to be moms, daughters, and sisters all at once. That's why this company was built.What sets Honor apart from other care giving services is that we're equally focused on treating the Care Pros well. We pay higher-than-average rates and they can get health benefits and sick leave. Most of our Care Pros are women, and a lot of them arc single mothers. The technology behind our app allows Care Pros to set parameters (参数) based on when, where, and how much they want to work so they can control their schedules. The company also allows continuity of care. Each Care Pro notes in the caregivers' app how the client is feeling or what should happen on the following shift. That way, the client's family can stay up to date on their loved one's health. When I was working with my team at Honor, I wanted to create opportunities for people who looked like me. I'm proud to say that there are single moms and other women without traditional educational training who lead teams here. The makeup of this company proves that people with diverse backgrounds can be part of a successful tech company. This has to be a model for the future.I'm confident it will happen.(1)The author mentions Amy to _______.A. share a precious memoryB. advocate caring for the elderlyC. show the importance of caregiversD. inform the readers of a touching story(2)Which of the following about Honor is true?A. It allows flexible working schedules.B. It gives higher salary and more paid leave.C. It mainly employs single mothers and males.D. It matches caregivers with clients at random.(3)What does the underlined part "stay up to date" probably mean?A. Go to bed later than usual.B. Get the latest information.C. Attend to somebody at fixed time.D. Accompany somebody day and night.(4)The last paragraph intends to tell us that _______.A. women are able to hold up half the skyB. success has nothing to do with educationC.

高中英语阅读理解专题训练1【The spider】In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The ―spider story‖ is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web(蜘蛛织网). The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English… Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.So what?

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解The new social robots, including Jibo, Cozmo, Kuri and Meccano M.A.X., bear some resemblance to assistants like Apple's Siri, but these robots come with something more. They are designed to win us over not with their smarts but with their personality. They are sold as companions that do more than talk to us. Time magazine hailed (称赞) the robots that "could fundamentally reshape how we interact with machines." But is reshaping how we interact with machines a good thing, especially for children?Some researchers in favor of the robots don't see a problem with this. People have relationships with many kinds of things. Some say robots are just another thing with which we can have relationships. To support their argument, roboticists sometimes point to how children deal with toy dolls. Children animate (赋予…生命) dolls and turn them into imaginary friends. Jibo, in a sense, will be one more imaginary friend, and arguably a more intelligent and fun one.Getting attached to dolls and sociable machines is different, though. Today's robots tell children that they have emotions, friendships, even dreams to share. In reality, the whole goal of the robots is emotional trickery. For instance, Cozmo the robot needs to be fed, repaired and played with. Boris Sofman, the chief executive of Anki, the company behind Cozmo, says that the idea is to create "a deeper and deeper emotional connection ... And if you neglect him, you feel the pain of that." What is the point of this, exactly? What does it mean to feel the pain of neglecting something that feels no pain at being neglected, or to feel anger at being neglected by something that doesn't even know it is neglecting you?This should not be our only concern. It is troubling that these robots try to empathize with children. Empathy allows us to put ourselves in the place of others, to know what they are feeling. Robots, however, have no emotions to share, and they cannot put themselves in our place. No matter what robotic creatures "say" or squeak, they don't understand our emotional lives. They present themselves as empathy machines, but they are missing the essential equipment. They have not been born, they don't know pain, or death, or fear. Robot thinking may be thinking, but robot feeling is never feeling, and robot love is never love.What is also troubling is that children take robots' behavior to indicate feelings. When the robots interact with them, children take this as evidence that the robots like them, and when robots don't work when needed, children also take it personally. Their relationships with the robots affect their self-esteem (自尊). In one study, an 8-year-old boy concluded that the robot stopped talking to him because the robot liked his brothers better.For so long, we dreamed of artificial intelligence offering us not only simple help but conversation and care. Now that our dream is becoming real, it is time to deal with the emotional downside of living with robots that "feel."(1)How are the new social robots different from Siri?A. They are intended to teach children how to talk.B. They are designed to attract people with their smarts.C. Their main function is to evaluate children's personality.D. They have a new way to communicate with human beings.(2)In Paragraph 3 Cozmo is used as an example to show that the social robots ______.A. are deeply connected with human beingsB. are unable to build a real relationship with childrenC. are so advanced that they can feel the pain of human beingsD. are not good enough to carry out the instructions of children(3)The underlined phrase "essential equipment" in Paragraph 4 refers to ______.A. emotionB. painC. fearD. thinking(4)Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionA.

高中英语阅读理解练习题100(附有答案)

高中英语阅读理解练习题100(附有答案)

1阅读理解技巧阅读理解题是考查学生对活的语言材料的理解能力,即通过阅读材料获得信息的能力。

具体说来,阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是:(1)掌握所读材料的主旨大意,以及用以说明主旨大意的事实和细节;(2)既理解具体事实,也理解抽象的概念;(3)既理解字面意思,也理解深层含义,包括作者的态度、意图等;(4)既理解某句、某段的意义,也理解全篇的逻辑关系,并能根据文章进行推理和判断;(5)既能根据材料所提供的信息去理解,也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。

根据这几项能力测试的要求,试题中常采用如下几种题型:事实询问题、推理判断题、数据推算题、识图解意题和主旨大意题。

根据这一测试要求和题型设计,答题时可以采取如下解题技巧和对策。

1.首先解题时要充满自信。

由于平时有些同学对做阅读理解时存在一种畏惧心理,因此考试做题时心理就难免会产生紧张感,特别是阅读时再遇到几个生词就头脑发胀,从而使自己的思路更加模糊不清。

其实这是完全没有必要的,因为阅读中遇到几个生词或几个难以理解的句子是常有的事,也是正常现象。

因为按大纲要求,试卷中允许有不超过3%的生词,只要认真分析,仔细阅读,这些生词和句子很可能并不影响你的解题。

所以答题之前首先要有必胜的信心。

2.扫读全文,理解全文主旨大意。

拿到一篇文章,首先要快速扫读全文,虽为扫读,但不可漫不经心,阅读时也应聚精会神,力求可能多地获取材料信息,只是这次遇到生词和难句先不必去处理,不要因纠缠文中的个别生词和难句而影响了对全文的主旨大意的了解。

3.对症下药,各个击破。

了解全文的大概意思之后,再把短文的问题简单看一遍,弄懂题意,然后带着问题再去寻读全文。

这次阅读过程中要善于抓文章中的关键词句。

寻读也就是迅速的查找需要了解的信息,是为某些特定的问题而阅读,因此阅读时要有较强的针对性,对与问题有关的数据,词句等仔细阅读,认真理解,同时结合不同考查内容的题型,采取如下解题对策:(1)事实询问题:这类试题通常是以疑问词what,who,when,where,why,h ow等引起的特殊问句,就文章中某一词语、某一句子、某一段落或某一具体细节和事实进行提问。

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Every year migratory(迁徙的) bats travel from Mexico to Bracken Cave, where they spend the summer consuming insects that would otherwise hungrily eat common food crops. But the bats have been showing up far earlier than they did two decades ago.In a study, scientists at Rothamsted Research, an agricultural laboratory in England, used radar data from 160 U.S. weather stations to analyze activity in the Texas bat colony from 1995 through 2017. They discovered the creatures were leaving their winter quarters in Mexico earlier and reproducing sooner. They were also astonished to find increasing numbers of bats overwintering(过冬) at Bracken Cave instead of heading back to their cold weather quarters in Mexico. Overwintering is a sign that warmer temperatures change the bats' annual rhythms, Rothamsted biologist Phillip Stepanian says.A separate study of migratory bats in Indiana, published last year, found that temperature variations affected arrival and departure times—likewise hinting at the potential influence of climate change. Joy O'Keefe, a biology professor at Indiana State University and co-author of that study, says early arrival at their summer habitats(栖息地) could expose these bats to cold snaps(寒流), and they could freeze to death.Joy O'Keefe and her colleagues also found that changing bat migration times can also clash with rainfall patterns. Many insects that bats eat breed in seasonal lakes and puddles. If the bats arrive too early to benefit from summer rainfall and the resulting abundance of insects they may struggle to feed their pups(幼崽) or skip reproduction altogether, O'Keefe says. She fears this shift could cause Midwestern bats to decrease toward extinction, which would be bad news for humans. "Declines in bat populations could have severe effects for crop success," she says, adding that bats also "control significant disease vectors, such as mosquitoes."However, scientists are not certain that climate change alone is causing the Bracken Cave bat colony to migrate earlier. They have found a direct link between seasonal temperatures and bird migration, but bats are also influenced by factors such as changes in wind speed and direction. And there are other complications. “Bats are mysterious little animals th at move mostly at night and are difficult to observe and track," Stepanian says. "We have this conceptual picture of what might be happening, but really tying it to the cause is the next step."(1)Scientists at Rothamsted Research found that _________.A. bats prefer colder weatherB. bats delay their reproductionC. warming affects bat migrationD. radar can be used to observe bats(2)Joy O'Keefe discovered that _________.A. bats are used to living in rainfall seasonsB. bats' earlier migration might harm farmingC. insects' reproduction helps to spread diseaseD. insects shortage makes bats reproduce earlier(3)What does the last paragraph want to tell us?A. Wind speed and direction affect bats.B. It is difficult to observe and track bats.C. Climate change makes bats migrate earlier.D. Further research on the cause is necessary.(4)What is the best title for the passage?A. Bats' habitatsB. Endangered batsC. Bats' scheduleD. Bats, our good friends【答案】(1)C(2)B(3)D(4)C【解析】【分析】【点评】本文是一篇说明文,作者先提出蝙蝠迁徙提前的这种现象,然后分析了这种现象可能导致的后果,最后分析了可能导致蝙蝠迁徙提前的原因。

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Jane Austen is loved mainly as a charming guide to fashionable life in the Regency period (英国摄政时期). She is admired for describing a world of elegant houses, dances, servants and fashionable young men driving barouches (四轮四座大马车). But her own vision of her task was completely different. She was an ambitious and strict moralist. She was highly conscious of human failings and she had a deep desire to make people nicer: less selfish, more reasonable and more sensitive to the needs of others.In Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bonnet start off heartily disliking each other and then, gradually realize they are in love. They make one of the great romantic couples. He is handsome, rich and well connected; she is pretty, smart and lively. But why actually are they right for one another?Jane Austen is very clear. It's for a reason we tend not to think of very much today: It is because each can educate and improve the other. When Mr. Darcy arrives in the neighborhood, he feels "superior" to everyone else, because he has more money and higher status. At a key moment, Elizabeth condemns his arrogance (自大) and pride to his face. It sounds offensive in the extreme, but later he admits that this was just what he needed.Mostly, we tend to think of love as liking someone for who they already are, and of total acceptance. But the person who is right for us, Austen is saying, is not simply someone who makes us feel relaxed or comfortable; they got to be able to help us overcome our failings and become more mature, more honest and kinder—and we need to do something similar for them.(1)What do we know about Jane Austen from paragraph 1?A. She lived a fashionable life.B. She wrote about the life of the rich.C. She knew exactly human virtues.D. She was nicer to less selfish people.(2)What can we learn about Mr. Darcy from the text?A. He dislikes Elizabeth from the beginning to the end.B. He is handsome, rich and rather modest.C. He is kind to everyone in the neighborhood.D. He needs Elizabeth to point out his shortcomings.(3)Which person is right for you according to Jane Austen?A. A person that you like for who he or she is.B. A person with whom you feel really relaxed.C. A person making you become a better man or woman.D. A person who does something similar to you.(4)What message does the book Pride and Prejudice convey?A. Improve yourself with your lover's help.B. Accept the people you love totally.C. Earn much money to make people love you.D. Find your true love with pride and prejudice.【答案】(1)B(2)D(3)C(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文,介绍了简·奥斯丁的著作《傲慢与偏见》中传达了在爱人的帮助下提高自己的思想。

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Your teenage best friend could be good for your long-term mental health, according to a new study published in the journal Child Development According to the findings, teenagers aged 15 to 16 who had a close friendship rather than a larger group of friends they were less close to had a greater sense of self-worth by the time they were 25 years old. Those people with a very close best friend were also less likely to experience depression and social anxiety, the study found. "Close friendship strength in mid-adolescence predicted relative increases in self-worth and decreases in anxiety and depressive symptoms by early adulthood, "the authors, led by Rachel K, Narr, a postdoctoral student focused on clinical psychology at the University of Virginia, wrote.A past research has suggested that adolescent friendships are important. Friendships during the teenage years predict academic success and improved mental health. But the new research further explores the type of friendships teenagers have. "My hunch(预感)was that close friendships compared to broader friendship groups and popularity may not function the same way," Narr told Quartz. "Being successful in one is not the same as being successful in the other." Many study participants did not continue to have a close relationship with their high-school best friend, leading the researchers to wonder what exactly was responsible for the mental health benefits. They suspected that the skills and ability to build such a friendship may be more important than the friendship itself.And as the researchers point out, those skills are not necessarily brought to bear in the world of social media. "As technology makes it increasingly easy to build a social network of shallow friends, focusing time and attention on developing close connections with a few individuals should be a priority," study co-author Joseph Allen said in a statement.(1)What is the benefit of having a close teenage friendship?A. Excellent performance in high school.B. A larger group of friends.C. Mental health by early adulthood.D. A large social network in the future.(2)What can we learn about the past research?A. It attached great significance to adolescent friendships.B. It was totally different from the new research.C. It helped improve teenagers' mental health.D. It compared broader friendship groups with popularity.(3)What did the researchers think might lead to the mental health benefits?A. Not continuing to have a close relationship.B. Having a best friend in high school.C. Understanding the world of social media.D. Knowing how to build a close friendship (4)What did the researcher Joseph suggest?A. Learning to use social media.B. Broadening your social circle.C. Improving the skills of making friends.D. Concentrating on high-quality relationship.【答案】(1)C(2)A(3)D(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,研究发现,那些有非常亲密的好朋友的人也不太可能经历抑郁和社交焦虑。

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Everybody, at some point in their lives, has experienced failure. It could be something as simple as not getting the job you wanted, or getting fewer marks even after hard work. But what makes you is not your failure, but how you get back up after being hit.Once, a young school boy was caught in a fire accident in his school and was assumed that he would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body. Even if he were to survive, he would be lame throughout his life.But the brave boy did not want to die nor did he want to be lame. Much to the amazement of the doctor, he did survive. But unfortunately from his waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Eventually he left the hospital. But his determination to walk was unshakable. At home, when he was not in bed, he had to stay in a wheelchair. One day, he threw himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He reached the fence, raised himself up and then began dragging himself along the fence, firmly determined. He did this every day, with faith in himself that he would be able to walk unaided. With his iron determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk on and off, then to walk by himself and then to run.He began to walk to school, and then run to school, to run for the joy of running. Later in college he was on the track team.In February 1934, in New York City's Madison Square Garden, this young man who was not expected to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run-this determined young man, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the world's fastest mile.A good example of the power of positive thinking and faith in one's self, Glenn Cunningham continues to be an inspiration for many, and his story, a brilliant evidence to how one can bounce back even when all difficulties are piled against one, to the degree that death seemed the preferable option.(1)The first paragraph is intended to ________.A. present an argumentB. make preparations for statementC. arouse readers' interestD. function as a brief introduction(2)What was the doctor's opinion about Glenn?A.

2.阅读理解Some things should just be common knowledge by now. The Earth isn't flat. Nope, your hair and nails don't grow after you die. The holes at the top of Bic biro pens are there so that, if you swallow one accidentally, you can still breathe and won't choke to death. It's debatable whether that last one there is common knowledge or not. A quick Google search of the fact, rewritten as a question, shows articles addressing this point going back several years, with the latest (re)appearing just this week over on ScienceAlert. We suppose it's one of those things that come up from time to time, like what would happen if you attack Yellowstone with a nuclear weapon (not much, as it turns out).If you jump over to Bic's website, under their FAQs (frequently asked questions), it quite clearly states: "The reason that some BIC® pens have a hole in their cap is to prevent the cap from completely obstructing the airway if accidentally breathed in. This is requested by the international safety standards ISO11540, except for in cases where the cap is considered too large to be a choking risk."That's rather lovely of them. In appreciation of their want to not kill off their more clumsy customers, we thought we'd share a few more random facts about Bic that are probably going tocome up in a pub quiz one day. Did you know, for example, that each Bic ballpoint pen can produce at least 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) of ink before it begins to run out? In fact, in 2018, 7,250 kilometers (4,505 miles) of writing tests on such pens were carried out on ballpoint pens, gel pens(中性笔), and rollers to make sure they worked to the highest standard.The best part of the Bic site, however, is this rather curious fact: "100 percent of pen balls are made through a highly-controlled process." As opposed to a highly uncontrolled process, involving explosions and bouncy castles and total chaos, we suppose.(1)Why does the author mention the case of Yellowstone?A. To list the facts.B. To prove his point.C. To compare the two situations.D. To emphasize the importance of safety.(2)What does the underlined word "obstructing" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Block.B. Open.C. Transform.D. Narrow.(3)Why were the writing tests on pens carried out?A. To work out their lifespan.B. To assure their good quality.C. To prove some random facts.D. To compare different pens with each other.(4)In what tone does the author develop the text?A. Critical.B. Acid.C. Humorous.D. Serious.【答案】(1)B(2)A(3)B(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,毕克笔的笔帽上有一个小孔是为了防止那些粗心的使用者不小心吞下而窒息死亡。
