2009年高考英语阅读理解专项训练附详解(人物类)

2009年高考英语阅读理解专项训练.附详解（人物类）(1)In October 1961 at Crowley Field in Cincinnati Ohio an old deaf gentleman named William E. Hoy stood up to throw the first ball of the World Series. Most people at Crowley Field on that day probably did not remember Hoy because he had retired(退休) from professional baseball 58 years earlier in 1903. However he had been an outstanding player and the deaf people still talk about him and his years in baseball.William E. Hoy was born in Houckstown Ohio on May 23, 1862. He became deaf when he was two years old. He attended the Columbus Ohio School for the deaf. After graduation he started playing baseball while working as a shoemaker.Hoy began playing professional baseball in 1886 for Oshkosh(Wisconsin) of the Northwestern League. In 1888 he started as an outfielder(外场手) with the old Washington Senators. His small figure and speed made him an outstanding base runner. He was very good at stealing bases during his career. In the 1888 major league season he stole 82 bases. He was also the Senators‟ leading hitter in 1888. Hoy was clever and he threw right-handed and batted left-handed. On June 19,1889 he threw out three batters(击球手) at the plate from his outfield position.The arm signals used by judges today to show balls and strikes began because of Hoy. The judge lifted his right arm to show that the pitch was a strike and his left arm to signal that it was a ball.For many years people talked about Hoy‟s last ball game in 1903. He was playing for Los Angeles of the Pacific Coast Winter League. It was a memorable game because Hoy hit a wonderful ball which won the game. It was a very foggy day and therefore very hard to see the ball. In the ninth inning(棒球的一局) with two men out, Hoy managed to catch a fly ball to make the third out in spite of the fog. Los Angeles defeated their opposition and won the game.After he retired Hoy stayed busy. He ran a dairy farm near Cincinnati for 20 years. He also became a public speaker and traveled giving speeches. Until a few years before his death he took 4-10 mile walks several mornings a week. On December 15, 1961 William Hoy died at the age of 99.1. In which order did the following things happen in Hoy‟s life?a. Hoy worked as a shoemaker.b. Hoy began to run a diary farm.c. Hoy played a memorable game in the heavy fog.d. Hoy threw the first ball of the World Series.e. Hoy became deaf.A. d e a c bB. e a c b dC. d a e c bD. e a b c d2. We can infer from the last paragraph that Hoy _______ in his late years.A. became famousB. led a relaxed lifeC. traveled around the worldD. was in good physical condition3. This passage is mainly about _______.A. a deaf player devoted to the game of baseballB. baseball game rules and important playersC. the rise in the social position of the deaf peopleD. where the baseball judge hand signals came from4. What can be inferred from this passage?A. Hoy was the greatest baseball player in his time.B. Speaking and listening are not necessary in baseball games.C. The judge had to study the hand signals very seriously.D. Hoy‟s family encouraged him to become a baseball player.【答案解析】本文介绍了美国20世纪初最杰出的棒球选手Hoy不平凡的一生。

考研英语阅读理解2009text3The Evolution of Computers and Their Impact on SocietyIntroduction:Computers have evolved significantly over the years, transforming various aspects of our lives. The 2009 Text 3 passage in the Graduate Entrance Examination of English Reading Comprehension highlights this evolution and its impact on society. This article aims to discuss the key points from the passage, exploring the historical development of computers and their effects on society.The Evolution of Computers:In the passage, the development of computers is presented, starting from the abacus, which marked the beginning of human efforts to calculate and store information. It then progresses to the mechanical calculators, such as Blaise Pascal's invention, the arithmetic machine. Charles Babbage's analytical engine is another fundamental contribution to computer history. It laid the foundation for the modern computer by introducing the concept of a stored program. Finally, the passage mentions the ENIAC, a breakthrough electronic computer created during World War II.The Impact of Computers on Society:The passage emphasizes that computers have had a profound impact on society. The emergence of computers not only enhanced productivity but also revolutionized various fields. In education, computers have become indispensable tools for research, data analysis, and collaborative learning.Students can access vast amounts of information instantaneously, contributing to an increased ability to acquire knowledge.Furthermore, the influence of computers extends to the workplace. Their introduction has led to increased efficiency and accuracy in tasks that were previously time-consuming and prone to human error. With the advent of computers, manual labor has been reduced, freeing employees to focus on more critical aspects of their work. This has resulted in higher productivity levels across industries.In addition to education and the workplace, computers have revolutionized the entertainment industry. The passage mentions the rise of computer-generated imagery (CGI) in movies. It explains how computers enabled filmmakers to bring unreal elements to life, captivating audiences with breathtaking visual effects and expanding the creative boundaries of cinema.Computers have also brought significant changes to communication. The passage mentions email as an example of how computers have made communication faster and more convenient. Before its advent, sending letters and waiting for replies could take days or weeks. However, with the aid of computers and the internet, communication has become instantaneous, connecting people from all corners of the world.The passage briefly discusses the potential negative impacts of computers on society. It highlights how reliance on computers can lead to a decline in human calculation and critical thinking skills. Moreover, the passage suggests that the ease of access to information through computerscan lead to individuals becoming less discerning about the credibility and accuracy of the information they encounter.Conclusion:The 2009 Text 3 passage examines the historical development of computers and their impact on society. Computers have evolved from basic calculating devices to powerful machines that have transformed various aspects of our lives. They have revolutionized education, increased workplace productivity, enhanced entertainment experiences, and facilitated faster communication. However, the passage also raises concerns about the potential negative effects of excessive reliance on computers. Despite these concerns, computers undeniably play a crucial role in modern society, and further advancements will continue to shape our future.。

2009年考研英语阅读理解题精读篇第三篇

TEXT THREEControled bleeding or cauterisation? That was the unappealing choice facing UBS, a Swiss bank which has been badly hurt by the carnage in America’s mortgage market. The bank opted for the latter. First it opened the wound, by announcing a hefty $10 billion write-down on its exposure to subprime-infected debt. UBS now expects a loss for the fourth quarter, which ends this month. Then came the hot iron: news of a series of measures to shore up the bank’s capital base, among them investments from sovereign-wealth funds in Singapore and the Middle East.Bad news had been expected. UBS’s third-quarter write-down of over SFr4 billionin October looked overly optimistic compared with more aggressive markdowns at other banks such as Citigroup and Merrill Lynch. Steep falls in the market value of subprime debt since the end of the third quarter made it certain that UBS would take more pain, given its sizeable exposure to toxic collateralised-debt obligations (CDOs). Analysts at Citigroup were predicting in November that write-downs of up to SFr14 billion were possible.Why then did this new batch of red ink still come as a shock? The answer lies not in the scale of the overall loss, more in UBS’s decision to take the hit in one go. The bank’s mark-to-model approach to valuing its subprime-related holdings had been based on payments data from the underlying mortgage loans. Although these data show a worsening in credit quality, the deterioration is slower than mark-to-market valuations, which have the effect of instantly crystallising all expected future losses.Thanks to this gradualist approach, UBS had been expected to take write-downs in managed increments of SFr2 billion-3 billion over a period of several quarters. It now appears that the bank has incorporated market values into its model, sending its fourth-quarter write-downs into orbit. The change of approach may be on the advice of auditors and regulators but it is more likely to reflect a desire by UBS’s bosses to avoid months of speculation about the bank’s exposure, something that Marcel Rohner, the chief executive, described as “distracting”.In a particular indignity for a bank long associated with conservatism, concerns about the level of UBS’s capital ratio had even started to surface. Hence the moves to strengthen its tier-one capital, an important measure of bank solidity, by SFr19.4 billion, a great deal more than the write-down. The majority of that money will come from sovereign-wealth funds, the white knights of choice for today’s bank in distress. Singapore’s GIC, which manages the city-state’s foreign reserves, has pledged to buy SFr11 billion-worth of convertible bonds in UBS; an unnamed Middle Eastern investor will put in a further SFr2 billion. UBS will also raise money by selling treasury shares, and save cash by issuing its 2007 dividend in the form of shares. Its capital ratio is expected to end up above 12% in the fourth quarter, a strong position.The majority of that money will come from sovereign-wealth funds, the white knights of choice for today’s bank in distress.Hopeful talk of lines being drawn under the subprime crisis has been a feature of banks’ quarterly reporting since September. Marrying bigger-than-expected write-downs with bigger-than-expected boosts to capital looks like the right treatment in this environment. But UBS still cannot be sure that its problems are over. Further deterioration in its subprime asset values is possible; the broader economic impact of the credit crunch is unclear; and the damage to the bank’s reputation cannot yet be quantified. The patient still needs watching.1. The author uses the metaphor “hot iron” to imply that_____.[A] those measures will do more harm to UBS.[B] those measures will cauterize UBS.[C] those measures will forcefully stop UBS from furthur loss.[D] those measures will control bleeding of UBS.2. Compared with the mark-to-market valuations, the mark-to-model approach could _____.[A] slow down the worsening in credit qualtiy.[B] instantly crystallise all expected future loss.[C] worsen the credit quality.[D] accelerate the deterioration in credit quality.3. The reason that Marcel Rohner thought the chang of approach was “distracting” is____.[A] this change was unexpected to take place in such a situation.[B] this change was result of the advice of auditors and regulators.[C] this change was unfavorite to UBS.[D] this change was taken to make people dispel their guess.4. The phrase “the white knights”(Line 5, Paragraph 5) most probably means____.[A] rich people.[B] saviors.[C] generous people.[D] brave people.5. The author’s attitude towards UBS’s future is______.[A] optimistic[B] pessimistic[C] uncertain[D] none of the above篇章分析：本篇⽂章介绍了UBS银⾏⽬前⾯临的困境以及其解决困境的⼀系列措施。

高三英语高考阅读理解专项训练—新闻类

2009年高考英语阅读理解专项训练——新闻类(1)LONDON —Britain awoke on Easter Monday to a period of mourning for the Queen Mother, who died over the weekend after a life spanning a century of noisy and evident change. The 101-year-old royal matriarch died in her sleep last Saturday with Queen Elizabeth, her elder and only surviving daughter, at her bedside. For a woman who was one of the best-known figures in Britain for more than 80 years —from the era of tinted portraits on tin biscuit boxes and cigarette cards to the age of the Internet, the Queen Mother remained an enigmatic(不可思议的) and elusive(躲避的) figure.She achieved such a respect through aeons(永世, 亿万年) of, first, fawning and, later, intrusive media fascination, by remaining almost entirely silent. Her private thoughts were never paraded(炫耀) in public. What the public saw was a charming and benign elderly lady, adept at winning the admiration of press photographers, whom she always favoured with a particular smile.CHINA’s third unmanned spacecraft, Shenzhou Ⅲ, landed safely in central Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Monday afternoon, after orbiting the earth 108 times in slightly less than a week. The craft, which lifted off from Jiuquan in Gansu Province last Monday night, landed after successfully conducting a chain of flight and scientific experiments over a period of 162 hours.A powerful earthquake jolted Taiwan, killing five construction workers, authorities(官方) said. Over 200 injuries ware reported across the island, mostly minor, as a result of Sunday’s 7.5-magnitude quake. The quake was centred off Hualien, 180 kilometres east of Taipei. It struck at 2:53 pm and lasted for nearly a minute.1. Which of the following statements is true according to the news?A. The Queen Mother died on Easter Monday alone.B.

This definition excludes many individuals usually referred to as intellectuals—the average scientist, for one. (48) I have excluded him because, while his accomplishments may contribute to the solution of moral problems, he has not been charged with the task of approaching any but the factual aspects of those problems.Like other human beings, he encounters moral issues even in the everyday performance of his routine duties—he is not supposed to cook his experiments, manufacture evidence, or doctor his reports. (49) But his primary task is not to think about the moral code which governs his activity, any more than a businessman is expected to dedicate his energies to an exploration of rules of conduct in business. During most of his waking life he will take his code for granted, as the businessman takes his ethics.

2009年考研英语(一)阅读 text 3 精读精讲

2009年考研英语(一)阅读text 3 精读精讲全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Text 3 from the Reading Part of the 2009 Grad School English Exam - A Kid's TakeHi friends! Today I'm going to tell you all about a really cool reading passage I had to go over for my big sister's graduate school entrance exam. It was called Text 3 and it was all about these tiny little critters called microbes. At first I was like "Ugh, science stuff, no thanks!" But then I started reading and it got super interesting!The passage begins by explaining what microbes are -they're basically tiny organisms that are too small to see without a really powerful microscope. Some microbes are bacteria and others are called archaea. The writer says there are jillions of different microbe species all over the planet - in the air, the water, the soil, and even inside our bodies! Isn't that crazy? We're walking microbe houses!Then it goes into how important microbes are for life on Earth. It says they were here waaaaaay before humans andplayed a huge role in making the planet habitable for other lifeforms. Microbes invented all sorts of neat tricks like photosynthesis for turning sunlight into food. The passage calls them "the unseen founders of life"! How cool is that?But here's the really wild part - microbes aren't just important, they're insanely abundant too. Like, seriouslymind-blowingly plentiful. The passage says there are amillion-trillion-trillions of microbes on Earth! That's an incredibly humongous number. Waaaaay more than the number of stars in the whole universe! And the total weight of all those microbes is greater than the combined weight of all plants and animals. I couldn't even picture a number that big.The passage then goes into all the different roles microbes play. Some microbes are decomposers that break down dead stuff. Others live inside animal bodies and help them digest food. And a bunch of them convert nutrients in the soil into forms that plants can absorb. Basically, they're involved in keeping everything on Earth cycling and recycling properly. The writer calls them "the metabolic workers of the world"!But as awesome as microbes are, the passage warns they can also be dangerous villains sometimes. Certain species of microbes are pathogens that cause diseases in humans, animalsand plants. The passage mentions some nasty ones like salmonella, tuberculosis and malaria. It gave me theheebie-jeebies reading about them! Thank goodness for modern medicine to help keep those bad microbes at bay.Despite the potential dangers, the main point seems to be that microbes aren't just tiny specs - they're thebehind-the-scenes foundation that makes life on our planet possible. The writer argues that we should study and understand them better because they're so insanely abundant and play such a crucial role. He thinks they could help solve major world problems like treating disease, protecting crops, or cleaning up pollution. Microbes run the show whether we realize it or not!At the end, the passage makes an interesting point - even though microbes are invisible to the naked eye, there are way WAY more of them than there are of larger life forms like us. The writer says this shows we're not really the masters of the planet like we think. Instead, it's the microbes that are the true "lords" governing Earth behind the scenes with their massive numbers and importance. Sounds like those little dudes shouldn't be underestimated!Overall, I gotta say Text 3 was a pretty fascinating read. It opened my eyes to this whole hidden universe of microscopiccreatures that basically run the show for all life as we know it. Kinda makes you look at the world a bit differently, doesn't it? I never would've guessed something so small and hard to see could be so incredibly vital. Just more proof that amazing things can come in tiny packages!Anyway, that's my elementary student-level summary of the microbes reading! Let me know if any other grad school passages come your way - I'll use my kid genius skills to break them down into fun, easy-to-understand terms. See ya!篇2Hi everyone! Today I'm going to talk about a really cool reading passage from a big test for grown-ups who want to go to an even bigger school. It's all about bees and how they communicate with each other. Are you ready to learn some neat stuff? Let's go!The passage starts by telling us that bees can talk to each other, but not with words like we do. They use dancing instead! Can you imagine dancing to tell your friends something? That would be pretty silly, but bees are very smart and can understand each other's dances.There are two main dances that bees do. The first one is called the "tremble dance." Bees do this dance to tell the other bees that there is food nearby, but they don't know exactly where. It's kind of like saying "Hey, I found some yummy flowers, but I can't remember where!" When a bee does the tremble dance, the other bees get really excited and fly around quickly to try and find the food.The second dance is called the "waggle dance." This one is used when the bee knows exactly where the good food is located. The way it works is the bee walks in a straight line while shaking its little body, then walks in a circle back to where it started. The straight part of the dance shows the other bees which direction to fly, and how long the straight part is tells them how far away the food is. Isn't that genius?But bees don't just dance about any old flowers. They are extra picky and only tell the others about the best food sources with lots of nectar or pollen. And the dances get more energetic and exaggerated if the food is really excellent quality! It's like the bee is shouting "Wow, you guys have to check out these amazing flowers I found!"Sometimes, scout bees will go out and find a new place to live for the whole hive. When they return, they do a special"waggle dance" to communicate the location, distance, and direction of the new home spot. All the other bees watch very carefully and then get ready to move to the new place as a big group. Can you imagine having to watch a dance instead of getting written directions? That would be so confusing for us, but bees are pros.The dances even have different dialects based on things like the speed and patterns the bees use. Just like people from different places might have different accents, bees modify their dances a little differently depending on what part of the world they're from. Maybe the Italian bees dance with a little more pizzazz!Scientists have studied bee dances for a long time to try and understand how the bees communicate so precisely without words. By watching closely and doing experiments, they've learned that the bees don't just dance randomly - the movements and signals are very purposeful to give specific instructions.For example, one scientist put a bunch of delicious smelling food in one location to see if the bees would find it. Sure enough, a scout bee found the food and then returned to do the waggle dance. The other bees understood the signals and went straightto the right spot! When the scientist removed the food and put it in a new place, the scout bees realized it had moved and updated their dance to give the new location details. Mind blown!But that's not all - the bee dances can also communicate things like the tastiness of the nectar, how hard the food source will be to get to, and even how many bees should go gather it based on the quantity. Bees really have their own secret language that scientists are still working hard to fully understand.Isn't that just the coolest thing you've ever heard? Bees are like tiny, flying scientists themselves - always observing, exploring, and sharing important information with perfect wordless communication. I think people could learn a thing or two from how hardworking and clever those little bees are!I hope you found this passage interesting and learned some new fun facts about the secret life of bees. Let me know if you have any other questions! I'd be happy to teach you even more about these amazing insects and their fascinating dance language. Thanks for reading!篇3Hi kids! Today we're going to talk about a really interesting reading passage from a big test called the Graduate Admission English Test. It's all about bees and how amazing they are at working together. Get ready to learn some cool facts!This passage starts by telling us that bees live in these big families called colonies. The colony has one queen bee who is kind of like the mom. She's the only girl bee that can lay eggs. Then there are thousands of other girl bees called worker bees. Their job is to take care of the babies, gather food, and keep the whole beehive clean and running smoothly.Next, it explains that bees communicate through dancing! Can you imagine dancing to tell your friends where the good flowers are? The worker bees do a little "waggle dance" that lets the other bees know which direction to fly and how far away the tasty flowers are. Isn't that crazy?The passage then talks about how the worker bees pass on messages by giving each other little samples of the nectar or smell from flowers they've visited. It's like they're saying "Hey, try this! The roses down the street are blooming and taste amazing!" When a bee finds a great flower spot, she'll spread the word through the hive.Now here's where it gets really mind-blowing. The passage says that when a bee discovers an awesome flower patch, she doesn't just tell her closest friends. The message gets passed along throughout the entire hive in a matter of minutes! It's like the biggest game of Telephone you've ever seen, but the message stays accurate all the way to the end. Wild, right?The coolest part is how the passage describes bees working as a team. If a bunch of worker bees realize the nectar sources are running low, they don't panic. Instead, they spread the news throughout the hive by giving off a special "stop recruiting" smell. At that point, the bees stop doing their waggle dances so the others don't waste energy flying to places without flowers. The whole colony pulls together like a well-oiled machine!Doesn't that make you want to give bees a big high-five? They have incredible teamwork skills that help the whole group survive and thrive. The passage wraps up by saying that bees are among the most organized creatures on Earth when it comes to coordinating with each other and pulling off complicated tasks as a team.So there you have it - the inside scoop on how bees are basically like tiny scientists, communicating detailed information and working cooperatively in ways that would make any humanproud. Next time you see a bee buzzing around, remember how amazing their hive mind really is! Let me know if you have any other questions!篇4Text 3 From the 2009 Grad School English Test - AnEasy-Peasy BreakdownHi there! Today I'm gonna tell you all about a super interesting reading passage from a really tough test. It was the English reading part of the big graduate school entrance exam from way back in 2009. Let me start by saying - English tests can be really hard and no-fun, but this passage was actually kinda cool!It was all about these cute little animals called bees. Bees are those little flying bugs that buzz around and make yummy honey. The passage told us how bees collect nectar from flowers and bring it back to their hive. Then they have this awesome "bee dance" where they wiggle around to tell the other bees where the good flowers are! Isn't that the neatest thing?The passage said bees are really important for plants because they help the plants make seeds and fruits by carrying pollen between the flowers. Without bees, we wouldn't have lotsof foods like apples, oranges, or even chocolate! No chocolate?? That would be the worst. We definitely need to keep bees around.But then the passage got kind of sad. It said bees are disappearing and colonies are collapsing for some weird reason that scientists call "colony collapse disorder." Apparently bee colonies all over the world are just dying off randomly. Millions of bees are going missing and nobody knows why! It's like a big mystery.The passage said this is really bad news, because without enough bees to pollinate, we could lose a ton of crops and foods. That would make everyone go hungry. It might even put entire ecosystems out of whack if too many plants can't make new seeds. Yikes!Scientists have some hunches about what might be causing the colony collapses. Maybe it's pesticides or air pollution killing the bees? Maybe it's this weird new virus or fungus making them sick? Or maybe it's just because their habitats are shrinking from deforestation and urban sprawl? The passage said researchers are working really hard to figure it out before it's too late.People are trying to help the bees in other ways too. Some are becoming "beekeepers" and raising managed bee hives.Others are planting more bee-friendly flowers in gardens. The passage said we all need to pitch in to save the bees however we can, because they're just too important to lose.I sure hope the scientists crack the case soon! A world without bees would be no fun at all. We'd have no honey, no fruits and veggies, and probably no cute bumblebees buzzing around our gardens. That would be an even bigger bummer than having to do reading comprehension tests! Let's help keep our little buzzy buddies around for a long, long time.Welp, that's the full rundown on the bee passage from the 2009 test. I gotta run now, but let me know if you need any other insights from a genius 3rd grader like me. Reading may be fundamental, but so are bees! Buzz buzz!篇5Text 3 Is All About Gorillas!Hi friends! Today we're going to talk about a really cool reading passage from a big test called the 2009 Graduate Admissions English Test. The passage is all about gorillas - those huge, hairy apes that live in the forests of Africa. Get ready to learn some awesome gorilla facts!The passage starts by telling us that gorillas are one of the closest living relatives to humans. That's pretty neat! We share a lot of the same genes and behaviors with gorillas. The passage says gorillas live in tight family groups led by one big silverback male. A silverback is an adult male gorilla with a silvery-gray saddle of hair on his back. He's basically the dad of the whole family group.The silverback is super strong and protects the group from predators like leopards that might want to eat them. He decides where the group travels to find yummy foods like fruits, stems, bamboo shoots and sometimes even small animals or insects! At night, the whole family nests together, taking turns keeping watch for danger.It's really interesting how baby gorillas are raised. The author says gorilla moms carry their babies everywhere piggybacking for the first couple years. They nurse them until age 3 or 4! Gorilla dads don't do much parenting, but if the mom dies, her grown kids or even unrelated females will step in to take care of the orphaned baby. Gorillas have such a tight family bond.As the babies get older, the passage explains they spend a lot of time watching the big kid and adult gorillas to learn important life skills. They copy their elders' behaviors like whatplants are safe to eat, how to use tools, and even gorilla language! Baby gorillas are always playing and wrestling to build up strength. By age 8, male gorillas have to leave their birth group so they don't compete with the big silverback dad.The reading also talks about gorilla intelligence. It says gorillas can use simple tools like sticks to get food and even make tools! They communicate with over 20 different vocal sounds plus body movements. Some gorillas even learn basic sign language. Scientists have observed gorillas working together, telling jokes, and maybe even believing in bigfoot-like creatures!One sad part is that the passage discusses how gorilla populations are shrinking due to poaching, disease, and habitat loss from deforestation. It says we need to protect gorilla habitats and stop illegal gorilla hunting so these amazing cousins of humans don't go extinct.I think gorillas are just the coolest animals ever after reading this! They're so human-like with their families, communication, and smarts. I really hope people start taking better care of gorilla forests so I can see one in person at the zoo someday. Let me know if you learned any fun new gorilla facts too! Thanks for reading, friends!篇6Text 3 Reading Comprehension for the 2009 Grad School English ExamHi friends! Today I want to tell you all about a really cool reading passage I had to study for my big English test. It was called Text 3 and it talked about these amazing things called "bionic limbs"!Bionic limbs are like robot arms and legs that can replace ones that people lost. They use super advanced technology to work kinda like real arms and legs. The passage said bionic limbs can "mimic the complex biologic properties of muscle, tendon and bone." That means they can move and bend just like our arms and legs!The first bionic limb was created waaay back in the 1960s. It was called the Kremlin Arm and some Russian scientists invented it. Back then, the technology was really basic compared to today. The Kremlin Arm could only do a few simple movements.But over the years, scientists kept working on better bionic limbs. Nowadays, the newest bionic arms and legs are incredibly advanced! They can do all sorts of movements - you can wiggle the fingers, rotate the wrist, bend at the elbow and shoulder.Some bionic legs even let people walk up stairs and slopes. Isn't that wild?The passage talked about how bionic limbs work. Basically, they have cool sensors that detect little muscle movements in your stump (that's the part of your arm or leg that's left after an amputation). The sensors pick up on those tiny muscle twitches, and then BANG - the bionic arm or leg moves in that same way! It's like the robot part can read your mind.I was so impressed learning about bionic limbs. But the passage said they are really expensive, costing like 20,000 to 100,000 each! Only rich people or those with good insurance can normally get them. That made me kinda sad, because I think anyone who needs a bionic limb should be able to get one no matter how much money they have.The reading also talked about the future of bionic limbs, and where the technology could go next. Scientists are working on adding sensors to the limbs so you could feel temperature and pressure, just like a real arm or leg! They may even add sensors that let you experience textures by running your bionic fingers over stuff. How crazy is that?Some people think bionic limbs could become better than human limbs one day. The reading said they could potentially bestronger, faster, and more durable than real arms and legs. A few scientists even think we could mix human and robot parts to create super-human capabilities! But the author wasn't sure if that would be ethical or not.All in all, I found this reading passage really fascinating. Bionic limb technology is advancing so rapidly, it seems like the stuff of science fiction! Yet it's totally real and already enhancing so many peoples' lives. I bet in 20 years, bionic limbs will be even more mind-blowing than they are today.Well, that's the key points I took away from Text 3. Let me know if you have any other questions! I'll do my best to explain more about this very cool topic. Thanks for reading, friends!。

2009年高考英语阅读理解题型专项辅导(附答案详解)(文化类)

2009年高考英语阅读理解题型专项辅导（附答案详解）（文化类）(1)A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man — the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual(体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.1. From paragraph 1, we can know that in America _________.A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made manB. people can always rise to the top through their won effortsC. college professors win great respect from common workersC. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors.2. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _________.A. servants in American are hard to getB. she takes pride in what she can do herselfC. she can hardly afford servantsD. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food3. The expression “ wait on table” in the second paragraph means “_________”.A. work in a furniture shopB. keep accounts for a barC. wait to lay the tableD. serve customers in a restaurant4. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A. A Respectable Self-made FamilyB. American Attitude toward Manual LaborC. Characteristics of American CultureD. The Development of Manual Labor【答案解析】本文介绍了崇尚自我奋斗，尊重体力劳动的美国文化。
