一轮复习高考英语专题复习阅读理解(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Eating red meat is linked to cancer and heart disease, but are the risks big enough to justify giving up juicy burgers and delicious steaks? Probably not, according to researchers who reviewed data from 12 clinical trials involving about 54,000 people. In a series of controversial papers, the researchers argue that the increased health risks tied to red meat are small and uncertain, and that cutting back likely wouldn't be worth it for people who enjoy meat.Those conclusions go against established medical advice. They were swiftly attacked by a group of famous U.S. scientists who took the unusual step of trying to stop the papers from being published until their criticisms were addressed.The new work does not say red or processed meats like hot dogs and bacon are healthy, or that people should eat more of them. The team's reviews of past studies generally support the ties to cancer, heart disease and other bad health outcomes. But the authors say the evidence is weak, and that there's not much certainty meat is really the cause, since other diet and lifestyle factors could be at play.If the latest example of how divisive nutrition research has become, with its uncertainties leaving the door open for conflicting advice. Critics say findings often aren't backed by strong evidence. Defenders counter that nutrition studies can rarely be conclusive because of the difficulty of measuring the effects of any single food, but that methods have improved.Based on their analyses, the researchers said people do not have to cut back for health reasons. But they noted that their own advice is weak, and acknowledged that they didn't consider factors such as animal welfare and the environment. Indeed, the case that meat production is bad for animal welfare and the environment is stronger than the case that it's bad for human health, according to an editorial that accompanies the report.Not all of the report authors agreed with its conclusions. Three of the 14 researchers said they support reducing red and processed meats. A coauthor of one of the reviews is also among those who called for a publication delay.Those who pushed to postpone publication also questioned why certain studies were included in the reviews while others were left out.As for his own diet, Dr. Gordon Guyatt, a member of the international research team that conducted the reviews, said he no longer thinks red or processed meats have significant health risks. But he said he still avoids them out of habit, and for animal welfare and environmental reasons.（1）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A.To introduce a new relationship between health and eating red meat.B.To urge more people to keep away from eating red meat regularly.C.To present a new controversial view on impacts of eating red meat.D.To criticize nutrition studies for lacking of conclusive evidence.（2）What is the author's attitude towards the new research?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Disapproving.D.Objective.（3）Guyatt's avoiding red meats has the weakest connection with_______.A.health risksB.diet habitsC.animal welfareD.environmental protection（4）What can we learn from the recent research?A.Red meats don't have significant health risks.B.Reducing meat consumption will be worth it.C.The report authors have reached a consensus.D.Consuming red meat will do good to health.【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）A（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者对于吃红肉是否与癌症和心脏病有关引用了研究发现、结果、例子等客观数据和事实来写这篇文章。
部编版2020年高考英语阅读理解一轮练(7)(含解析)
2019年高考英语阅读理解一轮练（7）李仕才AIt’s an annual argument. Do we or do we not go on holiday? My wife says no because we have no savings to save us. I say you only live once and we work hard and what’s the point if you can’t go on holiday. The joy of a recession (不景气) means no argument next year —we just won’t go.Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful. For many families the recession means more than not booking a holiday. A YouGov survey of 2,000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money. A recent research shows arguments about money were especially damaging to couples.Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money may be different things to men and women. ＂People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what it’s for, ＂ he explains. ＂They’ll say it’s to save, to spend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them.＂ He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status and of showing their parents that they’ve achieved something.＂The biggest problem is that couples assume each other know what’s going on with their finances, but they don’t. There seems to be more of a taboo (禁忌) about talking about money than about death. But you both need to know what you’re doing, who’s paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately. In a healthy relationship, you don’t have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.＂1. What does the author say about going on holiday in Paragraph 1?A. It will cost them too much money.B. Few people can afford it without working hard.C. It makes all the hard work worthwhile.D. It is the chief cause of family quarrels.2. According to the text, what does Kim Stephenson believe?A. Money is often a symbol of a person’s status.B. Money means a great deal to both men and women.C. Men and women spend money on different things.D. Men and women view money in different ways.3. The author suggests that couples should________.A. put their money together instead of keeping it separatelyB. discuss money matters to maintain a healthy relationshipC. make efforts to reach agreement on their family budgetsD. avoid arguing about money matters to remain romantic【文章大意】文章通过度假的问题引入话题，男人和女人对钱的看法是不一样的，夫妻应该就钱的问题多进行讨论，这样可以建立健康的关系。

Ⅰ阅读理解AMary Krupa became friends with the grey squirrels during her firstweek at Penn State, after spotting them running around and idly(漫不经心地)wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads. Today,everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”．Mary started bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet sensation．Growing up in a neighborhood outside of State College, Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn’t interact(交流) with people very much. She was later diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels help me break the ice, because I’ll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and we’ll just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them, ” she said. “I am a lot more outgoing.”And in case you’re wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop(道具), and they’ll grab it. But getting to that part took a while. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.This year, Mary is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Mary plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.【解题导语】 宾夕法尼亚大学的“松鼠女孩”Mary曾经被诊断出患有阿斯伯格综合征，但是松鼠改变了她，使她变得外向起来。

TikTok is an app for making and sharing short videos.The videos are tall,not square,like on Snapchat or Instagram’s stories,but you navigate through（浏览)videos by scrolling up and down,like a feed,not by tapping or swiping side to side. Video creators have all sorts of tools at their disposal:filters as on Snapchat(and later, everyone else);the ability to search for sounds to score your ers are also strongly encouraged to engage with other users,through“response”videos or by means of“duets”—users can duplicate videos and add themselves alongside.Hashtags play a surprisingly large role on TikTok.In more innocent times, Twitter hoped its users might congregate around hashtags in a never-ending series of productive pop-up mini-discourses.On TikTok,hashtags(话题标签)actually exist as a real,functional organizing principle:not for news,or even really anything trending anywhere else than TikTok,but for various“challenges,”or jokes,or repeating formats,or other discernible blobs of activity.TikTok is,however,a free-for-all.It’s easy to make a video on TikTok,not just because of the tools it gives users,but because of extensive reasons and prompts it provides for you.You can select from an enormous range of sounds,from popular song clips to short moments from TV shows,YouTube videos or other TikToks.You can join a dare-like challenge,or participate in a dance meme,or make a joke.Or you can make fun of all of these things.TikTok assertively answers anyone’s what should I watch with a flood.In the same way,the app provides plenty of answers for the paralyzing what should I post? The result is an endless unspooling of material that people,many very young,might be too self-conscious to post on Instagram,or that they never would have come up with in the first place without a nudge.It can be hard to watch.It can be charming.It can be very,very funny.It is frequently,in the language widely applied outside theplatform,from people on other platforms,extremely“cringe”.1．What does the word“cringe”in the last paragraph means?A．be afraid of somethingB．be satisfied with completely new thingsC．InterestingD．boring2．What activities can you participate in on TikTok?Ⅰ.imitate interesting dance actionsⅡ.editing your favourite TV programme periodⅢ.creating your own challengesⅣ.making a jokeA．Ⅰ,ⅢandⅣB．Ⅰ,ⅡandⅢC．Ⅱ,ⅢandⅣD．Ⅰ,ⅡandⅣ3．How do the writer start the article?A．By asking continuous questions.B．By introducing what is TikTok.C．By introducing TikTok videos.D．By giving examples of usage of TikTok in life.4．What is the writer’s attitude towards Tiktok?A．Positive.B．Worried.C．No attitude since it is an argumentation.D．Boring.二、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

In the morning light, I could see the shadows that were etched(蚀刻)deep within the lines surrounding his eyes.Each morning I walked this route with my daughter to her kindergarten class. We were new to the neighborhood so that I didn’t know many of my neighbors. On one beautiful autumn morning, as we passed his house, my daughter called out to him, “Hi, Mr. Man!” Always the outgoing child, I wasn’t sur prised at her enthusiasm. But her cheerfulness soon faded when the man didn’t look at her and say “Hi” back.As we continued on our walk to school, my daughter asked why the man didn’t want to say hi to her. Because I didn’t have an answer, I said simply, “Maybe he is having a bad day.” later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident.A few days later, as we approached Bob’s house on our way to school, my daughter called out “Hi Mr. Man!” and as usual, he didn’t respond. But then she ran onto his front lawn and picked up a beautiful red autumn leaf. She continued up one step and handed it to him. I held my breath.As she skipped back to me, she said, “See you tomorrow, Mr. Man!” This time, he acknowledged her. In a soft gentle voice, he thanked her and said, “See you tomorrow.”From then on, Bob and my daughter exchanged greeting each morning. Our friendship with Bob continued for many years. But, the sweetest day is when Bob attended my daughter’s high school graduation. Bob gave my daughter a gift---a book on identifying various plants and trees. There, tucked in the pages that described an oak tree, was the leaf my daughter had given to Mr. Man when they first met. He had dried and pressed it and kept it all those years.1.What puzzled the girl?A. Th e cause of the man’s sadnessB. The shadows in the man’s eyesC. The man’s sitting still on the stepsD.

The baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert（警觉）. Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focus--until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise（同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots. 1．Babies are sensitive to the change in _______.A. the size of cardsB. the colour of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects2．Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experimentB. To see how babies recognize soundsC. To carry their experiment furtherD. To keep the babes interest.3．Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fictionB. Children’s literatureC. An advertisementD. A science report参考答案1—3、DCD试题分析：本文属于科学研究类的短文，研究婴儿对于外界声音和变化的反应。

阅读如下短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最优选项。
Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems? There are, I believe, three culprits(肇事者)：poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.1. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because.A. it built a link among peopleB. it helped unite a communityC. it was a source of self-educationD. it was a source of pleasure2. The underlined word “diversion〞(in Paragraph 2) most probably means “〞.A. concentrationB. changeC. amusementsD. stories3.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Many cities have subways and underground public transportat ion to take locals and tourists alike rapidly around the city．H owever, there’s something different about riding a London sub way．It may not look different, but the historical value of one of England’s most popular forms of transportation is enough t o make riding the subway a must when visiting London．With a little under 100 different stations, the subway can take you almost anywhere you need to go．Riding a London subway, a person from other countries will n otice one major difference: in London, people do not look at e ach other．In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times．That’s not rudeness ― people are just too busy to bother looking．Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using th e time for a moment of quiet thinking．Nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiet habits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is a n e-book．Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters（使用月票上下班者）．Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000―y es, that’s 40,000 “apps” have been designed．Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers．One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tank s．Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on t he train to be closest to the exit of their destination．iSteam cl ouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphon e．You can then write in the “steam” on your phone screen．For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction（消遣）of choice．It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music －iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied, then p erhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DV D technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV shows or films on the way to work．With all these distraction s, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train．1．Those who want to save time to reach where they go can download ______ to their iPhones．A．iShoot B．Tube Exits C．iSteam D．iPod2．People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because ______．A．they are going to work and have no time to communicate with each otherB．they love reading books and do not want to be disturbed C．they feel sleepy because of getting up earlyD．they are busy playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching films3．The underlined word “apps” in the fourth paragraph means ______．A．computers B．programs downloaded for the iPhon eC．computer companies D．fortune from commuters 4.．The main idea of the passage is that ______．A． commuters are unfriendly to strangersB．Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40,000 apps C．technology is changing how commuters spend their travel ing timeD．riding a London subway is a must when visiting1.B细节理解题。

②A bat scientist, Eklof works in the night shadows in western Sweden. His work requires an absolute kind of darkness unpolluted by light. But this category of darkness is threatened. In the 1980s, Eklof tells readers, two-thirds of the churches in Sweden housed bat caves. Not any longer. “Today, this number has been reduced by a third due to light pollution, because the churches all glow brightly in the night.” he writes. ③We have all noticed it when driving through any city at night. Empty places are floodlit. The night sky in Hong Kong is 1200 times brighter than an unlit one. Citizens of some large cities, writes Eklof, have never allowed their eyes to adapt to true night vision. But we are only now beginning to understand the effects. ④Too much light is incredibly destructive to the complex eco-systems many animals inhabit. It scares away the bats that Eklof studies; reef fish eggs go unhatched; birds forget to even sing. ⑤So how can we deal with the too much light? In 2019, France passed laws limiting how much light can be sent into the sky. In Vienna, Austria, the city’s lights are turned off at 11 p.m. Some measures, like artificial lights that do not reflect light upward, are already within our grasp. “We could just turn it all off, but I guess we don’t want to, because darkness is not safe for everyone.” said Eklof in a recent interview. “So it’s vital we find a middle way.” ⑤Right now, it’s hard to know what that middle way might look like. In 50 years, every city could be lit by

They surf the Net, use emails and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer，and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessional behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.They become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don't concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school.Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to keep themselves apart from the society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life.

落堕市安心阳光实验学校2014 高考英语（阅读理解）一轮暑假训练（7）（答案）FRIDAY, Dec．5, 2008—College students who think all-night study sessions will help them remember facts might want to get some sleep instead．That's the message from a new study that finds that as you sleep, the mind consolidates the things you learn during the day．Study participants who learned how to play a video game in the morning or evening did a better job the next day after a night's rest, apparently because their brains were actively absorbing what they'd learned as they slept．The finding shows "that sleep is not just a passive state when no information is coming in," said Howard Nusbaum, a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago．For the study, the researchers recruited 200 college students．Most of them weren't very familiar with playing video games．Some of the participants learned how to play the games in the morning, while others learned in the evening．The researchers then tested the subjects on the video games 12 hours later and 24 hours later．Those who took part in the morning training sessions showed an average eight-percentage-point improvement in their performance immediately after training．They performed more poorly—scoring four percentage points better—12 hours later．But they scored 10 percentage points better the next morning．"If we train you in the morning and come back at the end of the day, you forget some of what you learned," Nusbaum said．"But if you sleep after that, it restores some of what you learned．"The students who took part in the evening training sessions performed better the next morning after sleeping, than they did after being trained．The role that dreams play in the learning process—if any—isn't clear．But some dreams could serve as a kind of practice for the brain, Nusbaum said．"If you play a video game a lot, and you're playing in your dreams, maybe that could help you learn．"Jerry Siegel, professor at the Center for Sleep Research at the University of Calfornia, Los Angeles, said going without sleep hurts performance, but he's not convinced that sleep itself actively contributes to learning．"If you take a break for a few hours, it can easily be shown that learning did occur, because performance is better at the start of a new learning session than it was at the end of the initial session," he said．"No sleep needs to occur for this to happen．"Still, Siegel suggested that sleep before learning a skill is crucial．"For long-term retention, it is more important to be well rested and therefore attentive when you are doing the learning than afterwards,"he said．"It is even better if you don't have to choose and get your natural amounts of sleep every day．"9 What does the underlined word ‘want’ （in Paragraph 1） mean?A．lack B．wish C．desire D．need10 What is mainly talked about in this text?A．The effect of video games on learningB．The relation between sleep and learning．C．The role of dreams in the learning processD．The difference between morning and evening trainings．11 What would be the best title for the text?A．Sleep strengthens learning．B．Dreams clearly help learning．C．A break before learning is better．D．Video games improve performance．12 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．Training in the morning showed better results at once．B．Learning won’t occur during sleeping without dreams．．C．Sleeping well helps to absorb what one learnedD．Studying all night helps to remember more facts．参考答案 9-12 DBAC****************************************************结束阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和 D）中，选出最佳选项。

AJean is a bright young lady who comes from a rich and famous family. She goes to a good university and has everything that money can buy. Well, almost everything is good. But t he problem is that Jean’s family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ.

She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a lot of friends who she keeps in touch with quite often.Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot their time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself: He was a tall, good looking young man with big , happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.When Jean’s father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him so that she couldgive David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latestDVD of their favorite rock singer. But when she knocked on David’s doorin San Francisco, she found that her special friend was a twelve-year-oldboy named Jim!1.

A charming way of saying “Keep off the grass”. But could you figure it out? Or this: “Wash Clothing Store” for laundry.They are both typical Chinglish, a combination of English vocabulary and Chinese grammar. Expressions such as “people mountain people sea”, means extremely crowde d, and “give you some color to see”, meaning a punishment, are widely known and recognized.Chinglish has been attracting global attention in recent years as China grows rapidly in status on the world stage, attracting both fans and detractors(批评者).The Beijing Speaks Foreign Languages Programme and English First China Company, a language trainer known as EF Education, jointly launched a campaign to root out poor grammar and misused vocabulary in downtown Beijing. They argue Chinglish is an embarrassment that we should let it die out at all costs.“It is meaningful to allow the capital to show its most beautiful historical and cultural heritage to the world." Michael Lu,vice-president of EF Education said, “since the launching of the campaign, foreign teachers and students had been very keen to volunteer participation.”He believed signs were very important in public services. "The signs in some old buildings confused foreign visitors. Chinglish, although the target of much criticism, has also won supporters who regard it as an interesting way for foreigners to learn how Chinese people think and express themselves.“Many Chinglish logos carry Chinese elements and they will enrich the English language,” 32-year-old Oliver Radtke said. He had even published a bo ok “Chinglish: Found in Translation,” on the subject. About 50,000 copies of the book have been sold since it was published in 2007.Some Chinese university experts also side with Chinglish. "English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth, and the emergence of Chinglish again testifies(说明) to the language’s vitality and inclusiveness," said Shi Anbin, an associate professor of Tsinghua University.50．How did Chinglish come into being?A. Chinese people misunderstood the meaning of the new words.B. Chinese people combined English vocabulary with Chinese grammar.C. Chinese people based their English on the native English speakers.D. Chinese people make wide use of English vocabulary with bad spelling. 51．What Shi Anbin said means .A. there are many French and Spanish words in EnglishB. English is the language with vitality and inclusivenessC. Chinglish enriches English and shouldn’t be got rid ofD. Chinglish has greater effect on English than French and Spanish 52．According to Oliver Radtke, Chinglish .A. shows how Chinese people thinkB. does damage to the English languageC. shows the great humor of Chinese peopleD. should be sold to all over the world【参考答案】50—52 BCA阅读理解"I didn't hear them call my name," explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. "Are you ready?" is what she heard. Then she said, "I shook my head no, and then they said ‘yes’ and it was announced again."It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana----she was still on cloud nine．"I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen." Present in the audience（观众）that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher. Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete （比赛）．"She's always been my role model．I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her."One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, "I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot...”As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens （青少年）about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Sheiley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, "Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself."6.What do the words “on cloud nine” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. frightenedB. troubledC. very happyD. very angry7.Shelley takes her dance teachers as a role model mainly because she is_ .A. determinedB. friendlyC. strictD. experienced8.How many children did the Hennigs have according to the text?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.9.What did Shelley often do after she became Miss Louisiana Teen?A.

Dogs are more capable of understanding situations from a human's point of view than has previously been recognized, according to researchers. They found dogs were four times more likely to steal food they had been forbidden, when lights were turned off so humans in the room could not see.This suggested the dogs were able to alter their behavior when they knew their owners' perspective had changed. The study, published in Animal Cognition, conducted tests on eighty-four dogs.The experiments had been trying to find whether dogs could make their behavior suitable to react to the changed circumstances of their human owners. It wanted to see if dogs had a "flexible understanding" that could show they understood the viewpoint of a human.It found that when the lights were turned off, dogs in a room with their human owners were much more likely to disobey and steal forbidden food. The study says it is "unlikely that the dogs simply forgot that the human was in the room" when there was no light. Instead it seems as though the dogs were able to differentiate between when the human was unable or able to see them.Juliane Kaminski carried out the research into how dogs are influenced by human circumstances.Dr Juliane Kaminski, from the University of Portsmouth's psychology department, said the study was "incredible because it implies dogs understand the human can't see them, meaning they might understand the human perspective".Previous studies have suggested that although humans might think that they can recognize different expressions on their dogs' faces, this is often inaccurate and a projection of human emotions.“Humans constantly attribute(归属) certain qualities and emotions toother living things. We know that our own dog is clever or sensitive, but that's us thinking, not them,” said Dr Kaminski.“These results suggest humans might be right, where dogs are concerned, but we still can't be completely sure if the results mean dogs have a truly flexible understanding of the mind and others' minds. It has always been assumed only humans had this ability.53．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. The researchers made the test on dogs in eighty-four countries.B. Dogs always obey and don’t steal forbidden food.C. Dogs may adapt their behavior in response to the changed circumstances.D. The research is carried out to find out how dogs are influenced by light.54．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Dogs---Our Loyal Companions Understand Us Most.B. Dogs Are Our Best Friends.C. Dogs Can Understand Us In a Way, Researchers Say.D. Dogs Have Certain Qualities and Emotions of Human Beings, Researchers Say.55. Where can we probably read this kind of articles?A. Textbooks.B. Advertisements.C. Instructions.D. Magazines.56．This passage can be classified as .A. an argumentative writingB. a feature storyC. a dog show reviewD. a research result 【参考答案】53—56 CCDD。
