Photographs are everywhere. They decorate (装饰) the walls of homes and are used in stores for sales of different goods. The news is filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos record the beauties of nature. They can also bring things close that are far away. Through photos, people can see wild animals, cities in foreign lands, and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories.Reporting the news through photos is called photojournalism. At times photojournalists tell their stories through a single picture. At other times, they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture is like a chapter in a book, which can do more than record the facts. It can also be a strong force for social change.Jacob Riis was among the first photojournalists. He took pictures of parts of New York City where the poor lived. Riis believed that poverty(贫穷)caused crime, and he used photos to help him prove his point. A few years later, the photos of small children working in factories by Lew is Hine shocked the public. Hine’s pictures helped bring about laws to protect such children.Hundreds of pictures may have to be taken in order to get one or two really good photos. It takes science to have the photo come out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses feeling. Photojournalists make an actual record of what they see. A photo, however, can be both a work of art and an actual record. It can record an important event as a beautiful or exciting picture.As historical and artistic documents(文献) ,photos can become more important over time. Today photojournalists still have their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish(发表) them in books and on the Internet.1. The underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refers to .A. beautiesB. photosC. goodsD. events2. The photos of the small children by Hine show us that photos .A. are also works of artB. are popular ways of reporting newsC. often shock the publicD. can serve as a force for social change3. What can we learn from the passage?A. News with pictures is encouraging.B. Photos help people improve their life.C. News photos mean history in a sense.D. People prefer reading news with pictures.4. The text is mainly about .A. telling the story through picturesB. decorating the walls of homesC. publishing historical papersD. expressing feeling through pictures 【参考答案】1—4、B D C A【科普知识型---阅读理解(一)】It's a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals, and vice versa. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behaviour.Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If your kitty is watching, she is likely to overeat as well.What is your cat's IQ?In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behaviour of their owners.“Cats are intelligent animals with a long memory, ”Jane Brunt, the executive director of the Catalyst Council, told Discovery News. “They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions, knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that's been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas are.”Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding(搜刮)the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match”．So, if you feel guilty about leaving your precious kitty at home while you go to work, now you can feel even worse：you are making your cat fat!There's no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleepingschedule is best for both of you.There's a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit on our laps softly purring with rhythmic breathing and halfclosed eyes, the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private lesson in inner meditation，”Brunt said. Sure. But cats don't have to sit in rush hour traffic for an hour a day or worry about their inlaws.They're probably pretty good at remaining calm.So, according to science, even though we assume that cats are not close to us all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh? 1．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．Cats can copy humans' schedule.B．Humans can learn from cats in some way.C．Cats are smart and have a long memory.D．Green tea and yoga can benefit cats.2．What does the underlined word “this”in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．Humans' keeping searching the fridge.B．Cats' going to their owners for food.C．Cats' copying humans' habit of looking for food.D．Humans' leaving cats home while working.3．What can we learn from our cats?A．To remain calm. B．To be able to copy.C．To stay proud. D．To look up to friends.4．The best title for the passage could be “________”．A．Your cat can bring you pleasure B．You are copying your catC．You can make your cat social D．Your cat is copying your habit【要点综述】本文是一篇有关养宠物猫的科普文章。

Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they should live by the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of ―lawlessness‖ in the world.The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman form Paris called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne.―I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,‖ says Gin. ―I‘ve been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I don‘t see it as a lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom.‖―I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,‖ continues Gin. ―I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.‖His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for. These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic, which brings with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal and even suicide.28.

The modern French lifestyle.B. The self-supporting hunting.C. The uncivilized world.D. The French Republic.DA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night‘s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that ―night milk‖ contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.32. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.A. started sleep more easilyB. were more anxiousC. were less activeD. woke up later33. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A. It‘s been tested on mice for ten times.B. It can make people more energetic.C. It exists in milk in great amount.D.

“Old wives tales” are beliefs passed down from one generation to another, For example, most of us remember our patents’ telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things.

Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of timeDid your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic（蒜）is good for you, too。

Well, yes and no. sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don’t hold water, there is still a lot of truth in the old wives’ tales, After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated （积累）fro m thousands of our traditional beliefs don’t hold water should respect this body of knowledge even as research for clear scientific support to proven it true or false1.

Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects. Exploration also allows minerals and other potential(潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spinoffs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even nonstick pans and mirrored sunglasses are byproducts(副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to li ve on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultu res have adapted in the past and surely couldin the future.本文是一篇议论文，向我们阐述了人类进行太空探索的原因。

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin (顽童)was walking around the shining car. "Is this your car, Paul?" he asked.Paul answered, "Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy was surprised. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything. Boy, I wish..."He hesitated (犹豫).Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly."I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that." Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again; "Would you like to take a ride in my car?" "Oh, yes, I'd love that." After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, "Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?"Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled ( 残疾 ) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car."There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it. Then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I've been trying to tell you about."Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

湖南省长沙市岳麓区2016高考英语完形填空和阅读理解一轮练习（1）阅读理解More surprising,perhaps,than the current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and increasing.As Skolnick notes,Americans are a marrying people:relative to Europeans,more of us marry at youngerage.Moreover,after falling in the early 1970s,the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing.Even the divorce rates need to be taken in this pro-marriage context:some 80 percent of divorced individuals remarry.Thus,marriage remains,by far,the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society.What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family.Twenty-five years ago,the typical American family consisted of a husband,a wife,and two or three children.Now,there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children.And there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wife's previous marriage,or the husband's,or both,sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage;sometimes they are shared between two former spouses.Thus,one can find every type of family arrangement.There are marriages without children;marriages with children for only the present marriage;marriageswith“full-time”children from both the present and former marriages;marriages with“full-time”children from the present marriage and“part-time”children from former marriages.There are stepfathers,stepmothers,half-brothers,andhalf-sisters.It is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents!These are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family.But even so,even in the midst of all this,there remains one constant:most Americans spend most of their adult lives married.1.By calling Americans marrying people the author means that__________.A.Americans are more traditional than EuropeansB.Americans expect more out of marriage than EuropeansC.there are more married couples in the USA than in EuropeD.more of Americans as compared with Europeans,prefer marriage and they accept it at a younger age2.Which of the following can be presented as the picture of today's American families?A.A typical American family consists of only a husband and a wife.B.Many types of family arrangements have become socially acceptable.C.Americans prefer to have more kids than before.D.There are no nuclear families any more.3.The“nuclear family”refers to___________.A.families formed up by men or women working for nuclear power stationsB.married couples who are closely matchedC.family consists of married couples who do not want to have any childD.family with small number of members4.“Part-time”children________]A.spend some of their time with their half-brothers and some of their time with their half-sistersB.spend all of their time with one parent from the previous marriageC.are shared between the two former spousesD.cannot stay with“full-time”children【参考答案】1—4、DBCC阅读理解。

The year 2009 is the Year of Ox. The ox is a representative of the fanning culture of China. In the farming economy （经济）, oxen are the major animals pulling plows （犁）.Of course, the good of oxen is not limited to plowing. In fact, they are seen as "boats on land" for their ability to carry loads. Besides, the whole body of an ox is full of treasures. Their meat and milk are food full of nutrition, and their skin can be used to make clothes and shoes. With all these qualities, oxen are regarded as generous creatures.In the past, oxen played an important role in the spiritual life of the Chinese. Even today, oxen still play a special part in some folk activities. For example, some people who1ive in southwest China will cook cattle bone soup and share it among family members when holding the ceremony for children who reach 13. They believe that the cattle bone soup represents the blood relationship among family members. In order to express their love for oxen, people in some other areas will run to shake off diseases on the 16th day of the first month by the lunar calendar （农历）, and during their run they will take their oxen along, which indicates they regard the creature as human. Because of the contribution of oxen in their lives, the Chinese people are very grateful to the animal. In addition, the use of oxen in ceremonies and the thanks people owe to oxen help to develop various traditional customs, which becomes an important part of the folk culture of the Chinese nation.1. The words "boats an land" underlined in Paragraph 2 refer to __A. animals for taking goodsB. creatures for pulling plowsC. treasures of the folk cultureD. tools in the farming economy2. From the third paragraph, we know that __A. oxen are no more important today than in the pastB. ceremonies are held when people cook cattle bone soupC. oxen are treated as human in some areas of ChinaD. people run with oxen to shake off diseases every month3. Which of the following helps to develop traditional customs?A. The special role of oxen in frowning.B. People's respect and love for oxen.C. The practical value of an ox's body.D. The contribution of oxen to the economy.4. Why does the author write the text?A. To stress the importance of oxen in farming.B. To introduce the Chinese folk culture.C. To describe how to celebrate the Year of Ox.D. To explain how to develop agriculture with oxen.【参考答案】1—4、A C B B阅读理解。

It is often necessary to release a fish, that is , set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don’t want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive (存活) to bite again another day.—When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible.Don’t use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying.—Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don’t wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off the fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.—Remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.—Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water . Release the fish when it begins to struggle and is able to swim.—Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it. If you are going to release a fish, do so right away.With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival.1. People sometimes set a fish free after catching it because they _________A. don’t want it to dieB. hope it will grow quicklyC. don’t want to have it as foodD. want to practice their fishing skills2. Which of the following will probably make a fish ill?A. Taking the hook off it.B. Removing its scales.C. Touching its evesD. Holding it in your hand.3. A proper way to release a fish is to _________.A .move it in water till it can swim B. take the hook out of its stomachC. keep it in a bucket for some timeD. let it struggle a little in your hand4. What is the purpose of the text?A. To show how to enjoy fishing.B. To persuade people to fish less often.C. To encourage people to set fish free.D. To give advice on how to release fish.【参考答案】1—4、C B A D阅读理解。

“Dr. Papaderos, what is the meaning of life?”The usual laughter followed, and people stirred to go. Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time, asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was.“I will answer your question.”Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket, he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror, about the size of a quarter. And what he said went like this:“When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a remote village. One day, on the road, I found the broken pieces of a mirror. A German motorcycle had been wrecked in that place.I tried to find all the pieces and put them together, but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece. This one, and, by scratching it on a stone, I made it round. I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine—in deep holes and crevices（裂缝）and dark closets. It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find.I kept the little mirror, and, as I went about my growing up, I would take it out in idle moments and continue the challenge of the game. As I became a man, I grew to understand that this was not just a child’s game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life. I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light. But light—truth, understanding, knowledge—is there, and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it.I am a fragment（碎片）of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world—into the black places in the hearts of men—and change some things in some people. Perhaps others may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of my life.”1. On hearing the author’s question, Dr. Papaderos__________ at first.A. laughed at his foolishnessB. wasn’t sure of the answerC. doubted his seriousnessD. wasn’t interested at all2. How did Dr. Papaderos get the small round mirror when he was a child?A. He found it on the road and made it round.B. A dying German soldier gave him as a present.C. He chanced to find it in the street while playing.D. He put the broken pieces together and made it.3. Why did Dr. Papaderos like the small round mirror so much as a child?A. Because he was too poor to afford other toys.B. Because it could shine the places where the sun couldn’t rea ch.C. Because he believed it would bring good luck to him.D. Because it told him a lot about what life really meant to him.4. The underlined “metaphor” in the 7th paragraph most probably means_____ .A. symbolB. sourceC. lightD. purpose5. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. A Special Game in the ChildhoodB. A Broken Piece of MirrorC. Dr. Papaderos’ ExperienceD. The Meaning of Life【参考答案】1—5、CABAD。

Peanuts to ThisProudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stonefaced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way？”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip(掷)a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails，my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear，“My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around.I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No redos; no new grade. I felt th at the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster's office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my opinion to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet! 1．What did the author's classmates think about his report?A．Controversial. B．Ridiculous. C．Boring. D．Puzzling.2．Why was the author confused about the task?A．He was unfamiliar with American history.B．He followed the advice and flipped a coin.C．He forgot his teacher's instruction.D．He was new at the school.3．The underlined word“burning”in Para. 3 probably means ________.A．annoyed B．ashamed C．ready D．eager4．In the end, the author turned things around ________.A．by redoing his task B．through his own effortsC．with the help of his grandfather D．under the guidance of his headmaster 【要点综述】本文讲述了作者作为一个外来移民初入美国学校时，由于对美国历史不了解而闹出的一个笑话，但作者通过努力最后终于提高成绩并实现跳级。

The Basics of Math—Made ClearBasic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数)and beyond.The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges. Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America”， is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is a master in making math lectureslearnerfriendlier and less scary.With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various makeup classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.1．What does the course Basic Math mainly cover?A．Algebra. B．College Mathematics.C．Arithmetic. D．Mathematics Education.2．What benefits can students expect from Basic Math?A．Stronger imaginative ability. B．Additional presentation skills.C．More mathematical confidence. D．Greater chances of becoming teachers. 3．What can we learn about Professor H．Siegel?A．He is a guest lecturer at Kentucky Educational Television.B．He is to deliver 30 lectures in Basic Math.C．He works in Georgia State University.D．He specializes in training teachers.4．Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?A．A news report. B．A book review.C．A lesson plan. D．An advertisement.【要点综述】本文主要介绍了一个数学课程，从课程内容、功能用途、预期目标、主讲人等方面做了详细说明，是一则招生广告。

湖南省长沙市芙蓉区2016高考英语完形填空和阅读理解一轮练习（4）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

Although April did not bring us the rains we all hoped for, and although the Central Valley doesn’t generally experience the sound and lightning that can go with those rains, it’s still impo rtant for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning.The reason these two wonders of nature are so difficult for many adults to explain to children is that they are not very well understood by adults themselves. For example, did you know that the lightning we see flashing down to the earth from a cloud is actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth? Our eyes trick us into thinking we see a downward motion when it’s actually the other way around. But then, if we belie ved only what we think and we see, we’d still insist that the sun rises in the mo rning and sets at night.Most lightning flashes take place inside a cloud, and only a relative few can be seen jumping between two clouds or between earth and a cloud. But, with about 2,000 thunderstorms taking place above the earth every minute of the day and night, there’s enough activity to produce about 100 lightning strikes on earth every second. Parents can use thunder and lightning to help their children learn more about the world around them. When children understand that the light of the lightning flashing reaches their eyes almost at the same moment, but the sound of the thunder takes about 5 seconds to travel just one mile, they can begin to time the interval (间隔) between the flash and the crash to learn how close they were to the actual spark (闪光). 1. According to the author, in the area of the Central Valley____.A. rains usually come without thunder and lightning.B. it is usually dry in AprilC. children pay no attention to the two natural wonders.D. parents are not interested in thunder an lightning.2. We believe that lightning is a downward motion because_______.A. we were taught so by our parents from our childhood.B. we are taken in by our sense of vision.C. it is a common natural sight.D. it is a truth proved by science.3. What is TRUE about lightning according to the passage?A. Only a small number of lightning flashes occur on earth.B. Lightning flashes usually jump from one cloud to another.C. Lightning travels 5 times faster than thunder.D. There are far more lightning strikes occurring on earth than we can imagine.4. The underlined word “activity” is most closely related to the word (s) _____.A. cloudB. lightning strikesC. lightning flashesD. thunderstorms5. It can be concluded from the passage that _______.A. we should not believe what we see or hear.B. things moving downward are more noticeable.C. people sometimes may have wrong ideas about ordinary phenomena.D. adults are not as good as children in observing certain natural phenomena.【参考答案】1—5、ABDDC阅读理解。

湖南省长沙市芙蓉区2016高考英语完形填空和阅读理解一轮练习（4）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

A lot of us lose life's tough battles by starting a frontal attack--when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who was on his trapped way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam's being late--serious illness at home--he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer. His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.Yes, the boss was, Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room; everyone was hard at work. Sam's supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. "How do you do!" he said. "I'm Sam Maynard. I'm applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?"The room exploded in laughter, except that the supervisor had to clamp off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job--with the only tool that could win, a laugh.Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no", criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum.1. Why was Sam late for his job?A. Because he was seriously ill at home.B. Because he received an ultimatum.C. Because he was busy applying for a new job.D. Because he was caught in a traffic jam.答案解析：答案为D。
