哲理小文古代有一位得道的高僧，法力无边，能把阻挡自己行进的大山移动，令世人惊诧不已。
一日，有人问高僧：“如果把山移不过来，怎么办？”众人皆仰视倾听，高僧淡淡一笑：“____！”这是何等旷达乐观的姿态！其实，成功并非只有唯一的诠释，条条道路通罗马，偏拗地坚持只会无端地浪费时间，是过分的迂腐拘泥，调整一下心态和思路往往会有“柳暗花明又一村”的效果。
态度决定高度，一条路走到黑摔得遍体鳞伤却不思变通，必将付出沉重的代价。
李白《长歌行》中有“常存抱柱信，岂上望夫台”的诗句，说一男子为等约会的女子，在河水暴涨的时候，宁可抱住桥柱被水淹死，也不愿离开约定的地点。
诚信精神固然可嘉，但失去了生命，纵然有美好的意愿又有什么意义？改变不了世界，那就要试着去改变自己，当前的社会依然遵守达尔文的生物进化论，个人作为小气候不可能改变大环境，成功无坦途，但我们可先融入其中去适应它，再逐渐地去影响、改变它。
对于棘手的困难，台湾的成功实业家严长寿说：“怕它，就要研究它。
”对任何艰难险阻永不妥协，另辟蹊径，然后再竭尽全力求其完美，这才是成功人生的标记。

(1)We all like to feel needed. But new research suggests having a sense of purpose is good for our health, too.In a study of 7,000 people, those with the strongest sense of direction in life were over 70 percent less likely to suffer a stroke.The researchers 1 for other aggravating factors such as blood pressure and alcohol use and believe the 2 comes through regulating the immune system.It has long been thought that 3 meaningful activity after retirement is important for physical and mental health—which often declines 4 soon after retirement.But while past research focused on the 5 effects of negative psychological traits, such as depression and anxiety, new research is investigating how positive traits, such as 6 , protect against illness.In the recent study, men and women aged 50 and over were 7 for four to five years and completed psychological tests while researchers recorded strokes.The results show that the higher someone’s sense of purpose, the lower their risk of a stroke. Those with the greatest sense of purpose were 73 percent less likely to suffer a stroke compared to those with lowest.Other research has shown that positive mood can lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol(荷尔蒙皮质醇), also 8 in stroke.“Thi s is significant as we have a (n) 9 population and it helps show what behaviors prevent people from getting ill,” says Cary Cooper, professor of health psychology at Lancaster University. “Maybe10 is not good for some.”A accountedB AgingC ambitionD damagingE decreasingF DramaticallyG effectH graduallyI implicated J Optimism K outstanding L pursuingM retirement N Searched O tracked(2)The concept of man versus machine is at least as old as the industrial revolution, but this phenomenon tends to be most acutely felt during economic downturns and slow recoveries.Since technology has such a big 11 for eating up human jobs, this phenomenon will continue to structure our economy in ways we can’t immediately foresee.When there is exponential (指数的)12 in the price and performance of technology, jobs that were once thought to be 13 from automation suddenly become threatened. This is a powerful argument, and a scary one. And yet, john Hagel, author of The Power of Pull and other books, says the argument misses the reason why these jobs are so vulnerable to technology in the first place.Hagel says we have designed jobs in the U.S. that tend to be scripted and highly 14 ones that leave no room for individual initiative or creativity. In short, these are the types of jobs that machines can 15 much better than human beings. That is how we have put a giant 16 sign on the backs of American workers.It’s time to 17 the formula for how work is conducted, since we are still relying on a very 20th century 18 of work, Hagel says.

At that time, I was finishing the project that would win me my professorship. In the end, it resulted in my becoming a kitchen employee.My forty-second birthday had made a lonely visit the week before, and I was once again by myself in the flat. Like countless other mornings, I ordered a donut from the toaster. “Yes, sir!” it replied with robotic relish, and I began the day’s work on the project. It was a magnificent machine, the thing I was making—capable of transferring the minds of any two beings into each other’s bodies.As the toaster began serving my donut on to a plate, I realized the project was in fact readyfoe testing. I took out the duck and the cat—which I had bought for this purpose—from their containers, and set about calibrating the machine in their direction. Once ready, I leant against the table, holding the donut I was too excited to eat, and initiated the transfer sequence. As expected, the machine whirred and hummed into action, my nerves tingling at its synthetic sounds.The machine hushed, extraction and injection pipes poised, scrutinizing its targets. The cat, though, was suddenly gripped by terrible alarm. The brute leapt into the air, flinging itself onto the machine. I watched in horror as the nozzles swung towards me; and, with a terrible, dizzy whorl of colours, felt my mind wrenched from its sockets.When I awoke, moments later, I noticed first that I was two feet shorter. Then I realized the lack of mu limbs, and finally it occurred to me that I was a toaster. I saw immediately the solution to the situation—the machine could easily reverse the transfer—but was then struck by utter inability to carry this out.After some consideration, using what I sup pose must be the toaster’s onboard computer, I devised a strategy for rescue. I began to familiarize myself with my new body: the grill, the bread bin, the speaker and the spring mechanism. Through the device’s eye—with which it served its creations—I could see the internal telephone on the wall. Aiming carefully, I began pushing slices of bread at it. The toaster was fed by a large stock of the stuff, yet as more and more bounced lamely off the phone, I began to fear its exhaustion.1. What did the inventor intend to do with his machine?A. To test the function of the intelligent toaster.B. To create combination with different animals.C. To upgrade it to an entirely new kind of machine.D. To testify to its usefulness with his own body.2. An accident was triggered by ________.A. an unexpected act of the catB. a misconduct of the inventorC. flaws in the design of the machineD. sudden interference of a brute3. It is suggested that the inventor tried to rescue himself by _______.A. operating the computerB. reversing the programC. adapting to the body changeD. calling for help4. From the last paragraph, we can infer that________.A. the toaster may have run out of controlB. the person may destroy his new bodyC. the attempt to get out of the trouble may failD. the function of the machine maybe altered5. The passage is most likely extracted from a (an) ________.A. academic thesisB. entertainment magazineC. science fictionD. personal diaryTEXT BIt turns out you can size up personality just by looking at a person’s Facebook profile. While that may not seem like a big deal, it is providing fodder for academics who are trying to predict temperament based on the things we post online. If such predictions prove accurate, employers may have good reason to poke around our Facebook pages to figure out how we would get along with others at the office. And Pentagon officials want to use personality assessments to make better decisions on and off the battlefield.A recent study by researchers at the University of Maryland predicted a person’s score on a personality test to within 10 percentage points by using words posted on Facebook. “Lots of organizations make their employees take personality tests,” said Jennifer Golbeck, an assistant professor of computer science and information studies at the University of Maryland. “If you can guess someone’s personality pretty well on the Web, you don’t need them to take the test.”Golbeck and her colle agues at the university’s Human-Computer Interaction Lab—where she’s the co-director—surveyed the public profiles of nearly 300 Facebook users this year. They looked at users’ descriptions of their favorite activities and membership in political organizati on in political organizations. They also looked at Facebook’s public “About Me” and “Blurb” sections.The 300 participants then took a standard psychological exam that measures the “big five” personality traits: openness to experience, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism.People who tested as extroverts on the personality test tended to have more Facebook friends, but their networks were more sparse than those of neurotics, meaning that their friends were less likely to know one another than were the friends of other Facebook users. People who tested asneurotic had more “dense” networks of people who know one another and share similar interests.The researchers also found that people with long last names tended to have more neurotic traits, perhaps because “a lifetime of having one’s long last name misspelled may lead to a person expressing more anxiety and quickness to anger,” according to the study. People who tested high on the neurotic scale also tended to use a lot of anxiety-associated words, such as “fearful” and “nervous”, on their Facebook posts. They also use words describing ingestion: “pizza”, “dish”, “eat”.Golbeck says she can’t explain that last correlation. “You’d have to get a psychologist on that one,” she said. “I t could be that people that are neurotic talk more about what they are eating. It could be a deep correlation that we can’t understand on the surface.”6. According to the passage, Facebook profiles may________.A. provide the researchers with fingers about personality traits.B. give some hints about the disposition of the employeesC. help Pentagon make decisions on and off the battlefieldD. take the place of personality assessments7. Golbeck and her colleagues used the following research methods EXCEPT ______.A. investigating the candidates’ membership in political organizationsB. probing into the candidates’ descriptions of their hobbiesC. studying some contents posted on Facebook’s public sectionsD. examining the candidates on their psychological characteristics8. It is implied that Facebook users with long last names tend to _____.A. have a wide circle of acquaintancesB. have net friends with similar interestsC. have some problems with ingestionD. Facebook profiles reveal personality traits to researchers9. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. Facebook profile serve as a new approach of personality assessment.B. Two kinds of temperament can be discovered through lexical analysis.C. Network can provide more materials for psychological research.D. Facebook profiles reveal personality traits to researchers.10. What is the author’s attitude towards the research on Facebook?A. SkepticalB. IndifferentC. PositiveD. EnthusiasticTEXT CWhen people discuss solutions to “world hunger”, they tend to think in terms of the far-flung third world suffering from long years of drought. Yet, according to a new interactive map from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, hundreds of “food deserts” stretch across America, from the East Coast to West Coast. These “deserts” comprise 10 percent of the country. Moreover, 1 in 7 people in the U.S. now subsist on food stamps, and, in 2009, nearly 15 percent 50 million Americans ran short on food. Even for many members of the traditional middle class, America is no longer the Land of Plenty.A number of high-profile innovators have been attempting to address the Food Desert problem. The government has also stepped in with a number of initiatives to put an end to food deserts and related problems, such as childhood obesity. In 2007, the government launched a massive $400 million Healthy Food Financing initiative supported by Michelle Obama, with a goal of wiping out food deserts by 2017.The economic downturn, though, has taken much of the impact of these measures away, with more Americans than ever before now resorting to food pantries and even soup kitchens for their food needs. Even when things appear to have changed for the better, they haven’t---a image in the food desert. As The Economist pointed out this summer, recent numbers showing a substantial decline in the number of Americans living in “food deserts”---from 23.5 million in 2009 to 13.5 million in May---was actually due to a little sleight-of-hand.Clearly, throwing more money at the problem and offering tax incentives to supermarket chains to set up shop in the desert may not be best solution. The solution might only come from changing the system itself. Social innovators behind the collaborative consumption movement, foe example, advocate that any economic system be more inclusive of sharing and swapping. Poor or middle class Americans who can’t afford nutritious food would be able to swap economic goods or other items of value for that food.In an era of celebrity chefs and wall-to-wall cable TV cooking shows, now is it possible that America is unable to care and feed for its citizens? If Alexis de Tocqueville were to visit Americatoday, he would be astonished at how much Americans consumed. It’s heartening that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has a game plan to reduce the number of food deserts across the country. America’s silent food crisis is no longer limited in bighted urban zones---it is starting to reach what we used to refer to as “suburbia” as well.11. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The problem of world hunger is mainly caused by drought.B. About 10 percent of population in the U.S. is short of food.C. Only 1 in 7 people in American can get food stamps.D. Traditional middle class has been affected by food shortage.12. Which of the following statements would the author agree?A. Innovators are not capable of solving the food desert problem.B. The initiative supported by Obama was proven to be inefficient.C. Current measures failed to compensate foe the effect of recession.D. The actual number of people who are short of food has gone down.13. The author mentioned the following possible solutions EXCEPT_______.A. setting up more shops in remote areaB. encouraging supermarkets to take actionC. establishing an all-embracing systemD. permitting direct exchange of goods14. The example of Alexis de Tocqueville is mentioned to ______.A. sneer at the ignorance of the foreignersB. prove the development of the societyC. show bitterness over lower “food security”D. criticize those cable TV cooking shows15.Which of the following can serve as the title of the passage?A. Food Desert Spreading to Middle ClassB. Addressing the Problem of World HungerC. Suggestions for Raising Food SecurityD. Food Problem Worsened by RecessionTEXT DSusan Greenfield’s recent comments about how modern technology and social media are changing the way our brains work have caused quite a stir in the academic community: these changes, she claimed, are as important to understand as climate change. One interesting way of assessing the value of her statements is to look at the nature of the “reading brain”.To begin with, the human brain was never meant to read. Not next, not computer screens, not tablets. There are no genes or areas in the brain devoted uniquely to reading. Rather, our ability to read represents our brain’s protean capacity to learn something outside our repertoire by crea ting new circuits that connect existing circuits in a different way. Indeed, every time we learn a new skill, that is what we are doing.New capacities, however, change us, as the evolutionarily new reading circuit illustrates. After we become literate, we literally “think differently” about language: images of brain activation between literate and nonliterate humans bear this out. The brain’s plasticity allows an intrinsic variety of possible circus---there is no set genetic programme. For example, in the case of reading, this means there will be different reading brains depending on various environmental factors: the Chinese reading brain, for example, uses far more visual areas because there are more characters to learn.In 1968, Marshall McLuhan started conducting an experiment for Fordham University, in which he made students watch the same film on a cinema screen and television, and analysed their different reactions: the characteristics of the medium, his hypothesis went, will always influence what parts of the reading circuit are employed and to what extent. At the time, many laughed off McLuhan’s theory, but it stands out like an apt prelude to the decade we are having today. The characteristics of a medium like the book invite more focused attention.Like Professor Greenfields, my research group and I are concerned with how the acquisition of new capacities changes human development. In the case of reading, we know that the “expert reading brain” as we know it includes a beautifully complex circuit th at integrates simpler decoding skills with what I call “deep reading” processes such as critical analysis, analogical thought, inference and insight.The integration of the simpler and deeper reading process is not automatic and requires years of learning by the novice reader, as well as extra milliseconds for any expert to read a moresophisticated text. The readily is that today’s expert reading circuit was formed under very different conditions and with different mediums than those of our children’s.The question that our society must ask revolve around whether the time-consuming demands of the deep-reading processes will be lost in a culture whose principal mediums advantage speed, multitasking, and processing the next and the next piece of information. Will an immersion in digitally-dominated forms of reading change the capacity of the young readers to form and to develop their deep reading processes? No one at this moment possesses the evidence to answer these questions, but our children’s development a nd our species-intellectual evolution require that we confront them.16. The phrase “caused quite a stir” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.A. resulted in chaosB. triggered a conflictC. led to alterationD. aroused blockbuster17. Which of the following is INCORRECT about the reading function of the human brain?A. It develops by building more links.B. It cannot be used to do screen-reading.C. It depends on various zones of the brain.D. It varies among different human species.18. The experiment conducted in 1968 is mentioned to show ________.A. the effect of different media on reading modelsB. people’s different reactions to screen-readingC. new capacities people may develop with InternetD. people who watch TV a lot cannot focus attention19. According to the passage, the author feels ______about the reading skills of the young.A. only doubtfulB. confidentC. worriedD. optimistic20.

Or what is the nature of luck and coinci dence? ⑤It's not obviou s how the capaci ty to visual ize object s and to figure out numeri cal pattern s suitsone to answer questi ons that have eluded some of the best poets and philos opher s.①Clearl y, intelligenc e encomp asses more than a scoreon a test. ②Just what does it mean to be sm art?③How much of intell igenc e can be specif ied, and how much can we learnabouti t from neurol ogy, genetics,comput er scienc e and otherfields?①The defini ng term of intelligenc e in humans still seemsto be the IQ score, even though IQ testsare not givenas oftenas they used to be. ②The test comesprimarily in two forms: the Stanfo rd-Binet I ntelligenc e Scaleand the Wechsl er Intell igenc e Scales (both come in adultand childr en's versio n). ③Generally costin g severa l hundre d dollar s, they are usuall y givenonly by psychologis ts, althou gh variati onsof them popula te bookst ores and the WorldWide Web. ④Superh igh scores like vos Savant's are no longer possible, becaus e scorin g is now basedon a statis tical popula tiondistri butio n amongage peers, rather than simply dividi ng the mental age by the chronol ogic al age and multip l ying by 100. ⑤Otherstandardize d tests, such as the Schola sticAssess m ent T est (SA T) and the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), captur e the main aspect s of IQ tests.①Such standardize d testsm ay not assess all the import ant elemen ts necess ary to succee d in school and in life, argues Robert J.

foundthat IQ predicted leader shipskills when the testswere givenunderl ow-stress conditi ons, but underhigh-stress conditi o n s, IQ was negati velycorrel atedwith leadership—that is, it predic ted

middle-classf amily that once couldcount on hard work and fair play to keep itself financially secure has been transf ormed by econom ic risk and new realiti es. ②Now a pink slip, a bad diagno sis, or a disapp earin g spouse can reduce a family from solidl y middle classto newlypoor in a few months.①In just one genera tion, millio n s of mother s have gone to work, transf ormin g basicf amily

③Today's famili es have budget ed to the limits of theirn ew two-payche ck status. ④As a result, they have lost the parach u te they once had in timesof financi al setbac k—a back-up earner (usuall y Mom) who couldg o into the workfo rce if the primary earn er got laid off or fell sick. ⑤This“added-worker effect”couldsuppor t the safety net offere d by unempl o yment insura n ce or disabi

better. ⑤Both the absolu te cost of health care and the shareof it borneby famili es have risen—and newlyf ashio n able health-saving s plansare spreading from legisl ative hallsto Wa-Mart worker s, with much higher deducti bles and a larg enew dose of investment risk for famili es' future health care.⑥Even demogr aphic s are workin g agains t the middle classf amily, as the odds of having a weak

2006考研英语真题英语一阅读部分
Text 1①In spite of“endless talk of difference,”American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people. ②There is“the democratizing uniformity of dress and discourse, and the casualness and absence of deference”characteristic of popular culture. ③People are absorbed into“a culture of consumption”launched by the 19th century department stores that offered“vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere. ④Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite”these were stores“anyone could enter, regardless of class or background. ⑤This turned shopping into a public and democratic act.”⑥The mass media, advertising and sports are other forces for homogenization.①Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture, which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous. ②Writing for the National Immigration Forum, Gregory Rodriguez reports that today's immigration is neither at unprecedented levels nor resistant to assimilation. ③In 1998 immigrants were 9.8 percent of the population; in 1900, 13.6 percent. ④In the 10 years prior to 1990, 3.1 immigrants arrived for every 1,000 residents; in the 10 years prior to 1890, 9.2 for every 1,000. ⑤Now, consider three indices of assimilation—language, home ownership and intermarriage.①The 1990 Census revealed that“a majority of immigrants from each of the fifteen most common countries of origin spoke English‘well’or‘very well’after ten years of residence.”②The children of immigrants tend to be bilingual and proficient in English. ③“By the third generation, the original language is lost in the majority of immigrant families.”④Hence the description of America as a“graveyard”for languages. ⑤By 1996 foreign-born immigrants who had arrived before 1970 had a home ownership rate of75.6 percent, higher than the 69.8 percent rate among native-born Americans.①Foreign-born Asians and Hispanics“have higher rates of intermarriage than do U.S.-born whites and blacks.”②By the third generation, one third of Hispanic women are married to non-Hispanics, and 41 percent of Asian-American women are married to non-Asians.①Rodriguez notes that children in remote villages around the world are fans of superstars like ArnoldSchwarzenegger and Garth Brooks, yet“some Americans fear that immigrant living within the United States remain somehow immune to the nation's assimilative power.”①Are there divisive issues and pockets of seething anger in America? ②Indeed. ③It is big enough to have a bit of everything. ④But particularly when viewed against America's turbulent past, today's social indices hardly suggest a dark and deteriorating social environment.21.The word“homogenizing”(Line 1, Paragraph 1) most probably means________.[A] identifying[B] associating[C] assimilating[D] monopolizing22.According to the author, the department stores of the 19th century_________.[A] played a role in the spread of popular culture[B] became intimate shops for common consumers[C] satisfied the needs of a knowledgeable elite[D] owed its emergence to the culture of consumption23.The text suggests that immigrants now in the U.S._________.[A] are resistant to homogenization[B] exert a great influence on American culture[C] are hardly a threat to the common culture[D] constitute the majority of the population24.Why are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks mentioned in Paragraph 5?[A] To prove their popularity around the world.[B] To reveal the public's fear of immigrants.[C] To give examples of successful immigrants.[D] To show the powerful influence of American culture.25.In the author's opinion, the absorption of immigrants into American society is_________.[A] rewarding[B] successful[C] fruitless[D] harmfulText 2①Stratford-on-Avon, as we all know, has only one industry—William Shakespeare—but there are two distinctly separate and increasingly hostile branches. ②There is the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), which presents superb productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre on the Avon. ③And there are the townsfolk who largely live off the tourists who come, not to see the plays, but to look at Anne Hathaway's Cottage, Shakespeare's birthplace and the other sights.①The worthy residents of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their revenue. ②They frankly dislike the RSC's actors, them with their long hair and beards and sandals and noisiness. ③It's all deliciously ironic when you consider that Shakespeare, who earns their living, was himself an actor (with a beard) and did his share of noise-making.①The tourist streams are not entirely separate. ②The sightseers who come by bus—and often take in Warwick Castle and Blenheim Palace on the side—don't usually see the plays, and some of them are even surprised to find a theatre in Stratford. ③However, the playgoers do manage a little sight-seeing along with their playgoing. ④It is the playgoers, the RSC contends, who bring in much of the town's revenue because they spend the night (some of them four or five nights) pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants. ⑤The sightseers can take in everything and get out of town by nightfall.①The townsfolk don't see it this way and the local council does not contribute directly to the subsidy of the Royal Shakespeare Company. ②Stratford cries poor traditionally. ③Nevertheless every hotel in town seems to be adding a new wing or cocktail lounge. ④Hilton is building its own hotel there, which you may be sure will be decorated with Hamlet Hamburger Bars, the Lear Lounge, the Banquo Banqueting Room, and so forth, and will be very expensive.①Anyway, the townsfolk can't understand why the Royal Shakespeare Company needs a subsidy.②(The theatre has broken attendance records for three years in a row. Last year its 1,431 seats were 94 percent occupied all year long and this year they'll do better.) ③The reason, of course, is that costs have rocketed and ticket prices have stayed low.①It would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the young people who are Stratford's most attractive clientele. ②They come entirely for the plays, not the sights. ③They all seem to look alike (though they come from all over)—lean, pointed, dedicated faces, wearing jeans and sandals, eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing-room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m.26.From the first two paragraphs, we learn that__________.[A] the townsfolk deny the RSC's contribution to the town's revenue[B] the actors of the RSC imitate Shakespeare on and off stage[C] the two branches of the RSC are not on good terms[D] the townsfolk earn little from tourism27.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that__________.[A] the sightseers cannot visit the Castle and the Palace separately[B] the playgoers spend more money than the sightseers[C] the sightseers do more shopping than the playgoers[D] the playgoers go to no other places in town than the theater28.By saying“Stratford cries poor traditionally”(Line 2, Paragraph 4), the author implies that__________.[A] Stratford cannot afford the expansion projects[B] Stratford has long been in financial difficulties[C] the town is not really short of money[D] the townsfolk used to be poorly paid29.According to the townsfolk, the RSC deserves no subsidy because__________.[A] ticket prices can be raised to cover the spending[B] the company is financially ill-managed[C] the behavior of the actors is not socially acceptable[D] the theatre attendance is on the rise30.From the text we can conclude that the author__________.[A] is supportive of both sides[B] favors the townsfolk's view[C] takes a detached attitude[D] is sympathetic to the RSCText 3①When prehistoric man arrived in new parts of the world, something strange happened to the large animals: they suddenly became extinct. ②Smaller species survived. ③The large, slow-growing animals were easy game, and were quickly hunted to extinction. ④Now something similar could be happening in the oceans.①That the seas are being overfished has been known for years. ②What researchers such as Ransom Myers and Boris Worm have shown is just how fast things are changing. ③They have looked at half a century of data from fisheries around the world. ④Their methods do not attempt to estimate the actual biomass (the amount of living biological matter) of fish species in particular parts of the ocean, but rather changes in that biomass over time. ⑤According to their latest paper published in Nature, the biomass of large predators (animals that kill and eat other animals) in a new fishery is reduced on average by 80% within15 years of the start of exploitation. ⑥In some long-fished areas, it has halved again since then.①Dr. Worm acknowledges that these figures are conservative. ②One reason for this is that fishing technology has improved. ③Today's vessels can find their prey using satellites and sonar, which were not available 50 years ago. ④That means a higher proportion of what is in the sea is being caught, so the real difference between present and past is likely to be worse than the one recorded by changes in catch sizes.⑤In the early days, too, longlines would have been more saturated with fish. ⑥Some individuals would therefore not have been caught, since no baited hooks would have been available to trap them, leading to an underestimate of fish stocks in the past. ⑦Furthermore, in the early days of longline fishing, a lot of fish were lost to sharks after they had been hooked. ⑧That is no longer a problem, because there are fewer sharks around now.①Dr. Myers and Dr. Worm argue that their work gives a correct baseline, which future management efforts must take into account. ②They believe the data support an idea current among marine biologists, that of the“shifting baseline”. ③The notion is that people have failed to detect the massive changes which have happened in the ocean because they have been looking back only a relatively short time into the past. ④Thatmatters because theory suggests that the maximum sustainable yield that can be cropped from a fishery comes when the biomass of a target species is about 50% of its original levels. ⑤Most fisheries are well below that, which is a bad way to do business.31.The extinction of large prehistoric animals is noted to suggest that ____________.[A] large animal were vulnerable to the changing environment[B] small species survived as large animals disappeared[C] large sea animals may face the same threat today[D] slow-growing fish outlive fast-growing ones32.We can infer from Dr. Myers and Dr. Worm's paper that ____________.[A] the stock of large predators in some old fisheries has reduced by 90%[B] there are only half as many fisheries as there were 15 years ago[C] the catch sizes in new fisheries are only 20% of the original amount[D] the number of larger predators dropped faster in new fisheries than in the old33.By saying“these figures are conservative”(Line 1, Paragraph 3), Dr. Worm means that __________.[A] fishing technology has improved rapidly[B] the catch sizes are actually smaller than recorded[C] the marine biomass has suffered a greater loss[D] the data collected so far are out of date34.Dr. Myers and other researchers hold that __________.[A] people should look for a baseline that can work for a longer time[B] fisheries should keep the yield below 50% of the biomass[C] the ocean biomass should be restored its original level[D] people should adjust the fishing baseline to the changing situation35.The author seems to be mainly concerned with most fisheries' ___________.[A] management efficiency[B] biomass level[C] catch-size limits[D] technological applicationText 4①Many things make people think artists are weird. ②But the weirdest may be this: artists' only job is to explore emotions, and yet they choose to focus on the ones that feel bad.①This wasn't always so. ②The earliest forms of art, like painting and music, are those best suited for expressing joy. ③But somewhere from the 19th century onward, more artists began seeing happiness as meaningless, phony or, worst of all, boring, as we went from Wordsworth's daffodils to Baudelaire's flowers of evil.①You could argue that art became more skeptical of happiness because modern times have seen so much misery. ②But it's not as if earlier times didn't know perpetual war, disaster and the massacre of innocents. ③The reason, in fact, may be just the opposite: there is too much damn happiness in the world today.①After all, what is the one modern form of expression almost completely dedicated to depicting happiness? ②Advertising. ③The rise of anti-happy art almost exactly tracks the emergence of mass media, and with it, a commercial culture in which happiness is not just an ideal but an ideology.①People in earlier eras were surrounded by reminders of misery. ②They worked until exhausted, lived with few protections and died young. ③In the West, before mass communication and literacy, the most powerful mass medium was the church, which reminded worshippers that their souls were in danger and that they would someday be meat for worms. ④Given all this, they did not exactly need their art to be a bummer too.①Today the messages the average Westerner is surrounded with are not religious but commercial, and forever happy. ②Fast-food eaters, news anchors, text messengers, all smiling, smiling, smiling. ③Our magazines feature beaming celebrities and happy families in perfect homes. ④And since these messages have an agenda—to lure us to open our wallets—they make the very idea of happiness seem unreliable.⑤“Celebrate!”commanded the ads for the arthritis drug Celebrex, before we found out it could increase the risk of heart attacks.①But what we forget—what our economy depends on us forgetting—is that happiness is more than pleasure without pain. ②The things that bring the greatest joy carry the greatest potential for loss and disappointment. ③Today, surrounded by promises of easy happiness, we need art to tell us as religion once did, Memento mori: remember that you will die, that everything ends, and that happiness comes not in denying this but

2004考研英语真题英语一阅读部分
Text 1①Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across CareerBuilder, a job database on the Internet. ②He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site's“personal search agent”. ③It's an interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria such as location, title, and salary, then E-mails them when a matching position is posted in the database. ④Redmon chose the keywords legal, intellectual property, and Washington, D.C. ⑤Three weeks later, he got his first notification of an opening. ⑥“I struck gold,”says Redmon, who E-mailed his resume to the employer and won a position as in-house counsel for a company.①With thousands of career-related sites on the Internet, finding promising openings can be time-consuming and inefficient. ②Search agents reduce the need for repeated visits to the databases. ③But although a search agent worked for Redmon, career experts see drawbacks. ④Narrowing your criteria, for example, may work against you:“Every time you answer a question you eliminate a possibility,”says one expert.①For any job search, you should start with a narrow concept—what you think you want to do—then broaden it. ②“None of these programs do that,”says another expert. ③“There's no career counseling implicit in all of this.”④Instead, the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database; when you get E-mail, consider it a reminder to check the database again. ⑤“I would not rely on agents for finding everything that is added to a database that might interest me,”says the author of a job-searching guide.①Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return. ②When CareerSite's agent sends out messages to those who have signed up for its service, for example, it includes only three potential jobs—those it considers the best matches. ③There may be more matches in the database; job hunters will have to visit the site again to find them—and they do. ④“On the day after we send our messages, we see a sharp increase in our traffic,”says Seth Peets, vice president of marketing for CareerSite.①Even those who aren't hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile. ②Some use them to keepa close watch on the demand for their line of work or gather information on compensation to arm themselves when negotiating for a raise. ③Although happily employed, Redmon maintains his agent at CareerBuilder.④“Y ou always keep your eyes open,”he says. ⑤Working with a personal search agent means having another set of eyes looking out for you.41.How did Redmon find his job?[A] By searching openings in a job database.[B] By posting a matching position in a database.[C] By using a special service of a database.[D] By E-mailing his resume to a database.42.Which of the following can be a disadvantage of search agents?[A] Lack of counseling.[B] Limited number of visits.[C] Lower efficiency.[D] Fewer successful matches.43.The expression“tip service”(Line 3, Paragraph 3) most probably means __________.[A] advisory[B] compensation[C] interaction[D] reminder44.Why does CareerSite's agent offer each job hunter only three job options?[A] To focus on better job matches.[B] To attract more returning visits.[C] To reserve space for more messages.[D] To increase the rate of success.45.Which of the following is true according to the text?[A] Personal search agents are indispensable to job-hunters.[B] Some sites keep E-mailing job seekers to trace their demands.[C] Personal search agents are also helpful to those already employed.[D] Some agents stop sending information to people once they are employed.Text 2①Over the past century, all kinds of unfairness and discrimination have been condemned or made illegal. ②But one insidious form continues to thrive: alphabetism. ③This, for those as yet unaware of such a disadvantage, refers to discrimination against those whose surnames begin with a letter in the lower half of the alphabet.①It has long been known that a taxi firm called AAAA cars has a big advantage over Zodiac cars when customers thumb through their phone directories. ②Less well known is the advantage that Adam Abbott has in life over ZoëZysman. ③English names are fairly evenly spread between the halves of the alphabet. ④Y et a suspiciously large number of top people have surnames beginning with letters between A and K.①Thus the American president and vice-president have surnames starting with B and C respectively; and 26 of George Bush's predecessors (including his father) had surnames in the first half of the alphabet against just 16 in the second half. ②Even more striking, six of the seven heads of government of the G7 rich countries are alphabetically advantaged (Berlusconi, Blair, Bush, Chirac, Chretien and Koizumi). ③The world's three top central bankers (Greenspan, Duisenberg and Hayami) are all close to the top of the alphabet, even if one of them really uses Japanese characters. ④As are the world's five richest men (Gates, Buffett, Allen, Ellison and Albrecht).①Can this merely be coincidence? ②One theory, dreamt up in all the spare time enjoyed by the alphabetically disadvantaged, is that the rot sets in early. ③At the start of the first year in infant school, teachers seat pupils alphabetically from the front, to make it easier to remember their names. ④So short-sighted Zysman junior gets stuck in the back row, and is rarely asked the improving questions posed by those insensitive teachers. ⑤At the time the alphabetically disadvantaged may think they have had a lucky escape. ⑥Y et the result may be worse qualifications, because they get less individual attention, as well as less confidence in speaking publicly.①The humiliation continues. ②At university graduation ceremonies, the ABCs proudly get their awards first; by the time they reach the Zysmans most people are literally having a ZZZ. ③Shortlists for job interviews, election ballot papers, lists of conference speakers and attendees: all tend to be drawn up alphabetically, and their recipients lose interest as they plough through them.46.What does the author intend to illustrate with AAAA cars and Zodiac cars?[A] A kind of overlooked inequality.[B] A type of conspicuous bias.[C] A type of personal prejudice.[D] A kind of brand discrimination.47.What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?[A] In both East and West, names are essential to success.[B] The alphabet is to blame for the failure of Zo? Zysman.[C] Customers often pay a lot of attention to companies' names.[D] Some form of discrimination is too subtle to recognize.48.The 4th paragraph suggests that __________.[A] questions are often put to the more intelligent students[B] alphabetically disadvantaged students often escape from class[C] teachers should pay attention to all of their students[D] students should be seated according to their eyesight49.What does the author mean by“most people are literally having a ZZZ”(Line 2, Paragraph 5)?[A] They are getting impatient.[B] They are noisily dozing off.[C] They are feeling humiliated.[D] They are busy with word puzzles.50.Which of the following is true according to the text?[A] People with surnames beginning with N to Z are often ill-treated.[B] VIPs in the Western world gain a great deal from alphabetism.[C] The campaign to eliminate alphabetism still has a long way to go.[D] Putting things alphabetically may lead to unintentional bias.Text 3①When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero isn't biting her nails just yet. ②But the 47-year-old manicurist isn't cutting, filling or polishing as many nails as she'd like to, either. ③Most of her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stopped showing up. ④Spero blames the softening economy. ⑤“I'm a good economic indicator,”she says. ⑥“I provide a service that people can do without when they're concerned about saving some dollars.”⑦So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle-brow Dillard's department store near her suburban Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. ⑧“I don't know if other clients are going to abandon me, too,”she says.①Even before Alan Greenspan's admission that America's red-hot economy is cooling, lots of working folks had already seen signs of the slowdown themselves. ②From car dealerships to Gap outlets, sales have been lagging for months as shoppers temper their spending. ③For retailers, who last year took in 24 percent of their revenue between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the cautious approach is coming at a crucial time. ④Already, experts say, holiday sales are off 7 percent from last year's pace. ⑤But don't sound any alarms just yet. ⑥Consumers seem only mildly concerned, not panicked, and many say they remain optimistic about the economy's long-term prospects, even as they do some modest belt-tightening.①Consumers say they're not in despair because, despite the dreadful headlines, their own fortunes still feel pretty good. ②Home prices are holding steady in most regions. ③In Manhattan,“there's a new gold rush happening in the $4 million to $10 million range, predominantly fed by Wall Street bonuses,”says broker Barbara Corcoran. ④In San Francisco, prices are still rising even as frenzied overbidding quiets. ⑤“Instead of 20 to 30 offers, now maybe you only get two or three,”says John Teadly, a Bay Area real-estate broker. ⑥And most folks still feel pretty comfortable about their ability to find and keep a job.①Many folks see silver linings to this slowdown. ②Potential home buyers would cheer for lower interest rates. ③Employers wouldn't mind a little fewer bubbles in the job market. ④Many consumers seem to have been influenced by stock-market swings, which investors now view as a necessary ingredient to a sustained boom. ⑤Diners might see an upside, too. ⑥Getting a table at Manhattan's hot new Alain Ducasse restaurant used to be impossible. ⑦Not anymore. ⑧For that, Greenspan & Co. may still be worth toasting.51.By“Ellen Spero isn't biting her nails just yet”(Line 1, Paragraph 1), the author means __________.[A] Spero can hardly maintain her business[B] Spero is too much engaged in her work[C] Spero has grown out of her bad habit[D] Spero is not in a desperate situation52.How do the public feel about the current economic situation?[A] Optimistic.[B] Confused.[C] Carefree.[D] Panicked.53.When mentioning“the $4 million to $10 million range”(Line 3, Paragraph 3) the author is talking about __________.[A] gold market[B] real estate[C] stock exchange[D] venture investment54.Why can many people see“silver linings”to the economic slowdown?[A] They would benefit in certain ways.[B] The stock market shows signs of recovery.[C] Such a slowdown usually precedes a boom.[D] The purchasing power would be enhanced.55.To which of the following is the author likely to agree?[A] A new boom, on the horizon.[B] Tighten the belt, the single remedy.[C] Caution all right, panic not.[D] The more ventures, the more chances.Text 4①Americans today don't place a very high value on intellect. ②Our heroes are athletes, entertainers, and entrepreneurs, not scholars. ③Even our schools are where we send our children to get a practical education—not to pursue knowledge for the sake of knowledge. ④Symptoms of pervasive anti-intellectualism in our schools aren't difficult to find.①“Schools have always been in a society where practical is more important than intellectual,”says education writer Diane Ravitch. ②“Schools could be a counterbalance.”③Ravitch's latest book, Left Back: A Century of Failed School Reforms, traces the roots of anti-intellectualism in our schools, concluding they are anything but a counterbalance to the American distaste for intellectual pursuits.①But they could and should be. ②Encouraging kids to reject the life of the mind leaves them vulnerable to exploitation and control. ③Without the ability to think critically, to defend their ideas and understand the ideas of others, they cannot fully participate in our democracy. ④Continuing along this path, says writer Earl Shorris,“We will become a second-rate country. ⑤We will have a less civil society.”①“Intellect is resented as a form of power or privilege,”writes historian and professor Richard Hofstadter in Anti-Intellectualism in American Life, a Pulitzer Prize winning book on the roots of anti-intellectualism in US politics, religion, and education. ②From the beginning of our history, says Hofstadter, our democratic and populist urges have driven us to reject anything that smells of elitism. ③Practicality, common sense, and native intelligence have been considered more noble qualities than anything you could learn from a book.①Ralph Waldo Emerson and other Transcendentalist philosophers thought schooling and rigorous book learning put unnatural restraints on children:“We are shut up in schools and college recitation rooms for 10 or 15 years and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing.”②Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn exemplified American anti-intellectualism. ③Its hero avoids being civilized—going to school and learning to read—so he can preserve his innate goodness.①Intellect, according to Hofstadter, is different from native intelligence, a quality we reluctantly admire.②Intellect is the critical, creative, and contemplative side of the mind. ③Intelligence seeks to grasp, manipulate, re-order, and adjust, while intellect examines, ponders, wonders, theorizes, criticizes and imagines.①School remains a place where intellect is mistrusted. ②Hofstadter says our country's educational system is in the grips of people who“joyfully and militantly proclaim their hostility to intellect and their eagerness to identify with children who show the least intellectual promise.”56.What do American parents expect their children to acquire in school?[A] The habit of thinking independently.[B] Profound knowledge of the world.[C] Practical abilities for future career.[D] The confidence in intellectual pursuits.57.We can learn from the text that Americans have a history of __________.[A] undervaluing intellect[B] favoring intellectualism[C] supporting school reform[D] suppressing native intelligence58.The views of Ravitch and Emerson on schooling are __________.[A] identical[B] similar[C] complementary[D] opposite59.Emerson, according to the text, is probably __________.[A] a pioneer of education reform[B] an opponent of intellectualism[C] a scholar in favor of intellect[D] an advocate of regular schooling60.What does the author think of intellect?[A] It is second to intelligence.[B] It evolves from common sense.[C] It is to be pursued.[D] It underlies power.。

初中语文阅读题及答案
初中语文阅读题及答案【篇一：初中语文阅读练习题+答案】一．阅读下面文章，完成下面的题。
（16分）乡情陈德才①凡少小离家的人，都有一份永远也化不开的浓浓的乡情。
故乡的那棵挂着一丛丛嫩绿榆钱儿的大榆树，那片成群鹅鸭浮游欢叫的清水塘，那个与小伙伴儿捉迷藏的打谷场，那条夏日里去游泳、摸鱼的弯弯曲曲的小河，都构成了人们一个个最美丽的梦境。
②古诗云：（甲）许多动物都有一种对自己出生地的深深依恋，差不多已经构成了一种本能。
人作为具有思想感情的高等动物，赋予这种本能以更多的社会性，将其提升为对故乡这块热土的深切执着的爱。
一个人喝着家乡的水，吃着家乡的五谷杂粮，在乡亲们的眼皮底下一点点长大；在家乡的小学校里认第一个字，读第一本书；从家乡的田林山水开始，逐渐认识和走进这个神秘而广袤的世界。
于是，对故乡的爱，就在这一过程中很自然地滋生于每个人的心灵深处，有着任何其他情感所难以比拟的深厚根基。
③乡情总是离不开童年的回忆。
童年时的所见所闻和遇到刺激，在一个人大脑皮层中形成最初的沟回，打下最深的烙印。
天地间走来一个小小的我，没有功利的权衡，不需要礼仪的拘谨，高兴就笑、就跳，不高兴就哭、就闹，何等自然纯真，洒脱无羁，世界万物都散发出天真烂漫的气息，使童年的岁月宛如一首无尽延伸的诗。
人过中年，再也找不回儿时对陌生世界的那种新奇感，找不回那种全神贯注和真诚纯洁的目光。
因此，人们怀念故乡，在一定意义上也是对自己纯真无邪的童年的怀恋，是企图追回生命中失落的那一段无比珍贵的时④（乙）对于流寓他乡的游子，一句乡音就足以令他热泪盈眶，心起波澜。
对故乡的爱，是（丙），是对生命春天的珍惜，是一个人最真诚炽热的感情。
其实，什么叫祖国，就是生于斯、长于斯的故乡的放大，就是自己生命系列的源头。
海外华侨以及外籍华人，都是“中国老乡”，他们对祖国的刻骨铭心、永无停歇的挚爱，就是乡情的凝聚与升华。
⑤尽管远在异国天涯，游子们都有一种回故乡探访的永恒冲动，向往着（丁）的难得体验。

根据近代天文学家的理论，太阳土星将持续而稳定地向地球提供光和热，地球绕太阳滑动的平均半径，将长期维持不变，至多只有极小的摆动，这一整个过程将至少还持续40亿年。
过了40亿年后，太阳将逐渐膨胀膨胀而形态学为红巨星，最后将地球完全吞吃到它的“肚子”里。
③太阳对宇宙的影响影响实在是太巨大了，“只要太阳吼一吼，地球立即抖一抖”。
至于人类，却承受不了地球的任何抖动！不过，太阳为地球持续提供长达4000万年的光和热却是没有风险问题的，因为在4000万年的年代里，所消耗的主星能量还不到太阳总量的1%！所以，研究人类在地球上求生持续生存和发展的问题，最少要以人类能在地球上持续生存4000万年为奋斗目标！④但是人类面对的真正威胁，却是来自人类自身。
如果人们认为400年前伽利略是近代科学之父的话，那么这400年来科学、技术以及工业、农业的发展，就远远超过自有人类历史以来的400万年间的成就。
与此同时，近400年来资源所消耗掉的地球上的资源，也大大超过了在400万年间全人类所消耗的资源消耗总量！如果按照现在消耗不断强劲增长的趋势发展下去，试问4000年后乃至4000万年后的地球将是什么样的图景？⑤地球上的资源可分为五类：第二类是可再生资源，另一类是不可再生资源。
虽然人类可以用消耗可再生资源的办法补充一些不可再生资源，但这在数量上毕竟是有限度的。
所以，人类的生存和发展的环境问题，归根结底将取决于地球上的资源能在多少年内按照某些资源的消耗标雷米雷蒙县维持人类的正常生活。
⑥其实，4000一亿年只是一个保守的说法，太阳的光和热，完全可能持续更长泽列涅一些时间，即使太阳系内出现某些反常惨案，如小行星撞击地球，但也不太可能在4000万年内发生，而且人们能发射有超强破坏力的导弹，使小行星发生改变航道；所以，地球上的居民，至少在极为长的一个时期内，是大可不必“杞人无事忧天倾”的！⑦但是，真正值得忧虑的，是人，是人能否控制人类自身！1．本文从两个方面回答了“人类能在地球上劳作多久”的问题，一个方面是太阳能否持续而急剧稳定地向地球提供光和热，另一方面是_________________________________。
高中语文现代文阅读理解练习部分答案及解析
阅读下面的文字,完成7~10题。
前景诱人的空气发电技术人们将风力视为最洁净的发电技术之一，但是就风力发电而言，也有它的不足：在风力微弱的情况下，风车翼片无外力推动，就会静止不动，无法发出电能；另外，如果联网的风车群有部分不工作，只有几台运转就可能出现过载现象。
可是，通常电只能是发多少，消耗多少，无法存储。
虽然有一些存储方法，但成本昂贵，难以普及。
深夜，居民和企业用电均处于低峰，如果是核电站或热力电站，便可以将水压缩进位于高处的储水站。
当需要用电时将水排出，推动涡轮发电机发电。
那么，风力发电能否也像别的发电方式那样，将空气存储起来，到需要时再使用呢？目前，德国技术人员找到了一种存储空气的新方法，即在地下建一座大型储气站，用空气压缩机将空气压缩，进行存储。
需要时打开阀门，由高压空气推动涡轮机发电。
空气排放前，如果再用燃气加热，效率将更高。
早在1978年，德国下萨克森州就建成了世界上第一座空气发电站，两个位于地下658米和800米的储气站是两个废弃的盐矿矿井。
这两个储气站的储气量为31万立方米，最大承受力为70巴，足够供功率290兆的发电机组工作3小时。
除此以外，在美国阿拉巴马州也有一个类似的电站，据说美国将要对其进行改造，并将建造一系列新型空气发电站。
目前，能源专家对空气发电前景看好，该技术除了能作为应急电站外，也是一种洁净能源的获取办法。
如果将其与风力发电机组合使用，它将开辟了一条全新的提供能源的新途径。
一个风力发电机群加上压缩空气电站，无论从技术、还是从经济角度看，均可以与油、燃气、煤或核能一比高下。
如我国的内蒙地区，风力资源丰富，建造风力发电机群，加上空气电站，将有取之不尽的能源。
为保证能提供充足的电能，一般在设计风力发电站时需考虑各种因素，如，建造一个50兆瓦的电站，并不是说由50台1兆瓦的风力发电机简单并联，这只是指在最佳风源的情况下能够实现，但如果风速降低，其功率可能只能达到25兆瓦，因此，建造时需要安装100台风力发电机，这样，即使在风速较低时仍能提供足够的电能。
生命中的一部分阅读答案
生命中的一部分阅读答案阅读理解：生命的一部分（节选）书，是我生命的一部分。
我每天都离不开书，每天必看书。
有时忙得团转，似乎不可能看书，但再忙总得如厕。
如厕时我总要读一点东西，如果不是书，那就一定是报纸杂志。
所以，最忙的时候我也仍然在看书。
有一回出差，路上竟把手提包丢了，到了下榻的招待所，懊丧得不行。
手提包里的钞票及一些生活用品丢了固然可惜，但最可惜的是丢了一本心爱的书。
我每次出差总要带上一本或几本最提神的书，同在家一样，躺在床上也要读书。
我难以想象，自己可以上床后不读书便安然入眠。
那一晚真够狼狈，临时去借书又不可能，躺在床上后，百无聊赖，浑身不自在。
忽然，我眼光扫到了桌上的台历. 阿，那不也可当作一本书读吗？于是，我兴奋地跳下床，抓过台历。
那是一本有关中外历史知识的台历，真棒！于是我津津有味地翻阅起来，那一个夜晚我没有感到空虚和寂寞，像往常一样读了书。
在旅行途中，在火车上、飞机上，我自然更要读书。
不可一日无书。
古人早就倡导过抓紧枕上、厕上、马上的时间读书。
仔细想来，马背上何等颠簸，古人却仍要抽空读书，我们今天的条件无论如何总要比马背上好，怎能荒废时间，整天不读一页书呢？当书构成我们生命中的一部分后，我们的灵魂必将变得充实而丰富，我们的眼睛必将变得明亮而深邃，我们的行为也必将变得理智而富于创造性.爱书吧，从你识字开始，书应该是你不可离异的终生伴侣！阅读理解一：1．在文中找出下列词语的反义词。
兴致勃勃——( )索然无味——( )参考答案：百无聊赖//津津有味2．文中第三自然段记叙了一件什么事？写这件事的目的是什么？参考答案：作者出差丢了包，因为那包里有书，所以很懊丧。
然后发现了台历，作者把它当作书读，就少了空虚和寂寞。
写这件事的目的是为了说明书是“我”生命的一部分。
3．将文中画“____”的句子改为陈述句。
参考答案：不能荒废时间，整天不读一页书。
4．作者认为“怎能荒废时间，整天不读一页书呢”的理由是什么？参考答案：古人早就倡导过抓紧枕上、厕上、马上的时间读书。
