高一英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解United States health officials are urging people to stop using electronic cigarettes, known as e-cigarettes. The call to action came after such products were linked to health problems. Five deaths have also been reported. E-cigarettes are a popular substitute for smoking products. The electronic devices heat liquid that includes flavoring, nicotine and other chemicals into vapor—very small particles that users breathe in. Nicotine is found in many plants, including tobacco. E-cigarettes or similar devices also can provide THC or other substances to users. THC is the natural chemical present in marijuana(大麻) plants that gives users the mental state known as a "high". E-cigarettes are said to be safer than normal cigarettes because they do not create the cancer-causing byproducts of burning tobacco. Yet health officials say e-cigarette users have reported shortness of breath and other breathing problems, such as coughing and chest pain. Some have been sick to the stomach, felt very tired, suffered weight loss or developed high body temperatures. One report noted that most of the 53 illnesses reported in Illinois and Wisconsin were related to THC vaping(气化) products. But nearly 20 percent of the patients inhaled(吸入)substances like nicotine from e-cigarettes. Most of the reported cases were of young men.The report found that, "Since no single product or substance has been associated with the illness, persons should consider not using e-cigarettes while this investigation is ongoing." Last November, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, reported that "e-cigarette use increased considerably among U.S. middle and high school students during 2017—2018." Among high school students, it found e-cigarette use rose from 220,000 students in 2011 to 3.05 million in 2018.On Monday, the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA gave a warning to JUUL Labs, maker of the best-selling e-cigarettes. The FDA accused the company of illegally marketing its products as being "safer than cigarettes" without the agency's approval. In a statement, the FDA's acting commissioner said that, "JUUL has ignored the law, and has made some of these statements in school to our nation's youth." A JUUL spokesman said the company is studying the FDA's comments and "will fully cooperate".（1）Which of the following can best describe e-cigarettes?A.Deadly.B.Harmless.C.Infectious.D.Effective.（2）What change will be caused when smokers inhale e-cigarettes containing THC?A.They will be healthier.B.They will lose weight.C.They will feel excited.D.They will be peaceful.（3）What information about JUUL Labs can we get from the last paragraph?A.Students became its main marketing targets.B.FDA didn't agree on its way of promoting its products.C.It completely denied what it was accused of.D.E-cigarettes were invented by it.（4）What can be the best title of the passage?A.Say "No" to cigarettesB.A sharp rise of e-cigarettes use among young people.C.Safer e-cigarettes are needed for health.D.E-cigarettes—a potential killer.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）B（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，美国卫生官员敦促人们停止使用电子烟，电子烟同人们的健康问题有关。

高一英语阅读理解试题（生活类）(1)Computers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we won‟t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating(交际). Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.Let‟s look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won‟t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(计算机化) books will be used more and more.Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go in to shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers won‟t change these two habits.1. In paragraph(段落)1 it is thought people will use computers for _______.A. playing games, shopping and making telephone callsB. making telephone calls, having meals and seeing filmsC. seeing films, buying food, and going for holidaysD. playing games, making telephone calls and seeing the doctor2.

The strongest one in North America was in 1964. It happened in Alaska.Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people. In 1755, oneof the strongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal. Around 2, 000 people died.In 1923, a very strong earthquake hit Tokyo, Yokohama area of Japan. A hundred and forty thousand people died. Most of them died in fires which followed the earthquake.One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in 1976. It killed a large number of people. The worst earthquake ever reported was also in China, in which 830, 000 people were killed. This earthquake happened in 1556.Earthquakes worry people a lot.

【高一阅读】高一英语阅读理解：自然类

高一阅读理解自然类(1)Put an ice cube from your fridge into a glass of water. You have a piece of string (线) 10 centimeters long. The problem is to take out that piece of ice with the help of the string. But you must not touch the ice with your fingers.You may ask your friends to try to do that when you are having dinner together. There is a saltcellar on the table. You must use salt when you carry out this experiment.First you put the string across the piece of ice. Then put some salt on the ice. Salt makes ice melt (融化). The ice round the string will begin to melt. But when it melts, it will lose heat. The cold ice cube will make the salt water freeze again.After a minute or two you may raise the piece of string and with it you will raise your piece of ice!This experiment can be very useful to you. If, for example, there is ice near the door of your house, you must use very much salt to melt all the ice. If you don’t put enough salt, the water will freeze again.1. We must use _______ when we carry out this experiment.A. fridgeB. some foodC. a tableD. some salt2. How long will it take to carry out this experiment?A. More than three minutes.B. Five minutes or so.C. Only one minute or two.D. About ten minutes.3. What is the task of this experiment?A. Put the ice cube into the glass of water with the help of the string.B. Take out the ice cube in the glass of water with the help of the string.C. Take out the ice cube in the glass of water with your fingers.D. Put some salt on the ice cube and then put the string across it.4. How many things at least are used in this experiment?A. Three.B. Four.C. Six.D. Seven.5. We can learn something about _______ from the passage.A. physicsB. biologyC. chemistryD. maths(2)Bamboo is one of the n ature’s most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains (平原).Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for building new buildings. As a matter of fact, the cables (绳索) that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use. Bamboo pipes and drills (钻) can help to make the poor thirsty fields to be watered.1. How is bamboo like grass?A. It is thin and easy to cut.B. It grows everywhere.C. It grows quickly after its cut short.D. It is short and green.2. The sentence “while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across.” means “Some other bamboo plants may grow to be very _______.”A. shortB. strongC. thickD. tall3. From the text we know ______.A. most people call bamboo plant treesB. a bamboo plant may grow 4.5 meters in three daysC. the bamboo plant changes its colors when it growsD. a bridge held by bamboo cable was built thousands of years ago4. Why did the engineers teach the poor farmers in Africa to make use of bamboo?A. Because it is cheap.B. Because it is colorful.C. Because it drills fast.D. Because it is used by Asians.5. Which of the following is NOT true?A. There are many different kinds of bamboo with different colors.B. Cables made of bamboo can last for over a thousand years.C. Bamboo can be used for buildings, bridges and watering projects (工程).D. Bamboo plants are able to grow well in any part of the world.(3)Can trees talk? Yes—but not in words. Scientists have reasons to believe that trees do communicate with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree (柳树) attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that the caterpillars got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. The even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special vapour — a signal causing its neighbours to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be always in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending messages?1. From the passage we know that caterpillars _______.A. like willow treesB. enjoy eating fallen leavesC. can talk to other caterpillarsD. can send out a special vapour2. Caterpillars will stop eating willow tree leaves which _______.A. have a chemical change and become tastelessB. have a pleasant tasteC. are being attackedD. are communicating3. According to the passage, bees communicate with each other by _______.A. talkingB. making unusual soundsC. singing songsD. flying certain patterns(4)Do you know Australia? Australia is the largest island in the world. It is a little smaller than China. It is in the south of the earth. Australia is big, but its population is not large. The population of Australia is nearly as large as that of Shanghai.The government has made enough laws to fight pollution. The cities in Australia have got little air or water pollution. The sky is blue and the water is clean. You can clearly see fish swimming in the rivers. Plants grow very well.Last month we visited Perth, the biggest city in Western Australia, and went to a wild flowers’ exhibition. There we saw a large number of wild flowers we had never seen before. We had a wonderful time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. In spring every year Perth has the wild flowers’ exhibition. After visiting Perth, we spent the day in the countryside. We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and weenjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.Australia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos (袋鼠). After a short drive from any town, you will find yourself in the middle of white sheep. Sheep, sheep, everywhere are sheep.1. Australia is _______.A. the largest country in the worldB. as large as ShanghaiC. not as large as ChinaD. the largest island in the north of the earth2. The government had made _______.A. too enough laws to fight pollutionB. so many laws that it can fight pollutionC. enough laws that it can hardly fight pollutionD. enough laws because the pollution is very serious3.

If you go to the countryside in Australia, you will see a large number of white sheep.(5)Paracutin was born in Mexico in February, 1943. At the end of one week Paracutin was 500 feet high, and it is now over 9,000 feet high. Today Paracutin is asleep.What is Paracutin? It was the first volcano (火山) in the world which was seen from its birth right up to the present day. On February 20, 1943, a peasant and his wife set out to work in their corn fields from the Mexican village of Paracutin. They were surprised to find the earth warm under their feet. Suddenly they heard noises deep in the earth and a small hole appeared in their field. In the afternoon there was a sudden loud noise and stones were thrown high in the air. The peasants ran from the field and turned to watch. They saw the birth of a volcano.Large quantities of stone and lava (岩浆) broke out and a little hill began to form. By evening this hill was 100 feet high and hot ashes (灰烬) were falling on the village. At night the strong light of the hot lava lit up the countryside. The trees near the village werekilled and the villagers had to leave their houses. When the village was destroyed, its name was given to the volcano. The news quickly reached Mexico City, far to the east. Many people came to watch the scene. The volcano grew and grew for ten years and hundreds of square miles of forest were destroyed.

V olcanoes are active from time to time.D. New volcanoes are active for only ten years.(6)The baobab tree grows in west Africa and Australia. It is a very strange-looking tree. Its huge trunk sometimes measures as much as ten metres in diameter (直径). It is thicker at the bottom than at the top. The branches nearest to the ground are very long; those near the top are very short. Strange-looking as it may be, it is very useful. Its leaves are good to eat. Its white flowers turn into cool fruit which tastes rather like cucumbers (黄瓜). When a baobab tree gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree has such a huge hollow trunk that when it rains, water collects in the hollow. The tree has such a lot of leaves and branches that the water remains cool and fresh.

高考英语阅读理解复习-生态环保、自然灾害类10篇(含解析)

【生态环保、自然灾害类】话题阅读练习（一）（阅读理解10篇）Passage1Earth is in the middle of an insect crisis,with thousands of species declining over the past several decades. Scientists have often blamed this on habitat loss or pesticide（杀虫剂）use.But a new study of butterflies in the western United States has found that warmer fall weather may be an equal,if not more,of a factor.Over the past four decades,more than450butterfly species have declined at an average rate of nearly2percent a year,according to a study published in Science.It’s already known that the western monarch butterfly has plummeted in population by99.9percent and was recently denied protection by Endangered Species Act in the U.S. But the study revealed lesser-known species,like the Boisduval’s blue and California’s state insect,the California dogface butterfly,are heading toward extinction."The influence of climate change is driving those declines,which makes sense because they’re so widespread," says study leader Mathew Forister.To reach their troubling findings,the researchers combined databases of the butterfly count conducted by scientists and amateur insect enthusiasts at72locations in the western U.S.To focus on the contribution of climate change,the researchers made sure to include locations that were relatively undisturbed by agriculture and human development to limit the influence of other threats to butterflies such as habitat loss and pesticides.More than200cities across the U.S.are experiencing warmer fall seasons.In Arizona,for instance,fall temperatures have risen by0.2degree Fahrenheit every decade since1895.As for why warming falls are so harmful,it may be connected to butterflies’hibernation-like diapause(滞育）in the fall.Warmer temperatures could be forcing the insects,most of which live around a year,to stay awake longer and starve.In other words,they’re "getting old and fragile and dying sooner".Given that butterflies are key pollinators（传花粉者),such declines predict bigger problems for plants and even whole ecosystems.Forister adds,"The climate effects will almost certainly affect many other insects;including bees."And these effects will"damage"efforts to protect and restore butterfly habitat.1.What does the underlined word"plummeted"mean in Paragraph2?A.Recovered slowly.B.Decreased sharply.C.Escaped suddenly.D.Evolved rapidly.2.What did the researchers do in Paragraph3?A.They ruled out the effects of human activities.B.They tried to protect the habitat of butterflies.C.They refused to use amateurs’science data.D.They identified other threats to butterflies.3.How do warming falls affect butterflies?A.They affect butterflies’natural life cycle.B.They slow down butterflies’aging process.C.They cause butterflies to lose more habitats.D.They force butterflies to compete for survival.4.What is the main purpose of the text?A.To discuss the importance of butterfly species.B.To suggest a way to fight against climate change.C.To introduce new methods of studying butterflies.D.To present a new factor in a species population decline.解析：1.B理解词汇根据第二段第一句中的"Over the past...2percent a year"可知，在过去的40年里,450多种蝴蝶的数量以平均每年近2%的速度诚少。

我们今天来看一篇阅读理解，感受一下珠峰的风采。

阅读短文并回答问题（记叙文，487words，摘自The Washington Post）It was the final climb on his quest to reach the highest summit on all seven continents.When Christopher Kulish finally reached Mount Everest’s29,035-foot peak,he joined an elite group known as the “Seven Summits Club”.But the62-year-old Colorado attorney died suddenly Monday after returning to the first camp below the mountain’s summit.He’s the second American to die in the past week after reaching Everest’s highest point.His family believes the cause was a heart attack,according to the Denver Post.“He saw his last sunrise from the highest peak on Earth,”his brother,Mark Kulish,said in a statement to the Denver Post.“We are heartbroken at this news.”Last week,55-year-old Donald Lynn Cash of Utah collapsed and died just after reaching the Everest peak.He too had reached the highest point on all seven continents.Including Christopher and Cash, at least11people have died on Mount Everest this year.The deaths come among reports of overcrowding on the popular mountain.The Nepali government granted a total of381permits to climb Everest this year,a number that doesn’t include guides who are on the mountain as well.For some climbers,that traffic has meant longer wait times—some told the Himalayan Times the wait has exceeded two hours between the last camp and the peak.Mountaineer Vanessa O’Brien,who has also climbed the seven summits,said when there’s a crowd,being a more experienced climber won’t help you.“It doesn’t matter if you’re the best racecar driver in the world.If you’re stuck in traffic,you’re stuck in traffic,”she said in an interview.And when a climber is stuck in that traffic,“their body is starting to deteriorate.”O’Brien,who set a record as the fastest woman toreach the highest peak on every continent,also said the descent is often harder than the climb.Climbing expert Alan Arnette said there’s no simple explanation for the string of deaths.He said weather that has led to a shorter climbing season is one factor causing overcrowding.He also said the cost to climb Mount Everest has decreased,which means more people are making the journey.He urged the governments in charge of granting permits to limit how many people can be on the mountain at once.Still,Christopher was no beginner.His family said he’d been mountain climbing for five decades.He arrived at the base camp nearly two months before his climb so he could give himself time to adapt to the conditions.When he made his journey,his family said he was climbing with a small group in almost ideal conditions after some of the overcrowding had cleared.His brother described being a lawyer as a“day job”for Christopher. Climbing was his passion.“He was an inveterate climber of peaks in Colorado,the West and the world over,”Mark Kulish said.“He passed away doing what he loved.”1.What do we know about Christopher?A.He has reached the highest point on all seven continents.B.He joined the“Seven Summits Club”at the base camp.C.11people following him died after reaching the Everest peak this year.D.He died from a heart attack below the mountain’s summit.2.What made longer wait times on Mount Everest?cking guides.B.Overcrowding.C.Bad weather.D.Getting government’s permission.3.What might cause the string of deaths according to Alan Arnette?a.The less cost attracting more climbers.b.The more climbers worsening the environment.c.More permits granted by the government.d.The governments limiting the climber’s number.e.The weather leading to a shorter climbing season.A.a,b,dB.a,c,eC.b,c,dD.b,d,e4.Why did Christopher arrive at the base camp so early before climbing?A.To wait for his friends.B.To learn about the mountain.C.To clear the traffic jam.D.To adapt to conditions earlier.5.What does the underlined word“inveterate”in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Experienced.B.Famous.C.Excellent.D.Addictive.参考答案1~5ABBDD生词与长难句1.summit n.最高点；顶点；山顶；（政府间的）首脑会议；峰会This path leads to the summit.这条路通往山顶。

（自然与环境）李仕才导读：中国濒临灭绝的大熊猫如今因气候变化而陷入失去它们的主食的危险之中。

赶快行动起来保护他们吧！Pandas face bamboo shortage threat①Already threatened by a slow breeding rate and rapid habitat loss, China's endangered giant pandas now also risk losing their main food, bamboo, to climate change, claim scientists.A study in China's northwestern Qinling Mountains, home to around 270 pandas—about a fifth of the world's wild population—predicts a big bamboo decline this century as the globe warms."The pandas may face a shortage of food unless they can find alternative food resources; the giant panda is a picky eater."Ninety-nine per cent of its diet ②consists of bamboo—being destroyed ③up to 38 kilograms per day. Bamboo itself also has a slow reproductive rate, flowering only every 30 to 35 years, which means it would be slow to adapt to a change in local climate.Based on the data gathered for this study, researchers predict that three bamboo species which ④make up almost the entire diet of the Qinling pandas will all but disappear in a warmer climate."Results suggest that almost the entire panda habitat in the region may disappear because of climate change ⑤by the end of the 21st century," the study's authors write.Already, deforestation is threatening the survival of about half of all bamboo species worldwide.The researchers say bamboo distribution has historically changed ⑥in response to changes in the climate. In the modern era, though, even if other areas were to becomeclimatically more suited for bamboo growth, these would be ⑦far away.The findings should be used for planning ahead to protect areas that have a better climatic chance of providing enough food sources or begin creating natural bridges to allow pandas an escape from bamboo famine.大熊猫面临着食物短缺的威胁科学家们声称，由于一直以来受到低繁殖率和栖息地快速流失的威胁，中国濒临灭绝的大熊猫如今又因气候变化而陷入失去它们的主食——竹子的危险之中。

2020年高考英语阅读理解自然地理类专练（附答案）1.阅读理解In the sea there are many islands. In its warm waters there are some little ones. We call them “Coral Islands”.A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land with tress, grass, and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake inside the island.If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral. You may think they are flowers.If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes a very small sea animal has lived . These sea animals make the coral.They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher.At last it grew out of the water.Then the sea brought to it small trees and something else. After some years, these things changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds to this earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island.The little seeds grew. In a few years there were plants all over the island. In a few more years there were trees growing there.So you see, these islands were built little by little. The workers were very small. Do they not teach us a lesson? Can you think what the lesson is?（1）In the sea ________.A. there are coral islands in all placesB. there are some coral islandsC. the water is always warmD. we can see many flowers（2）A coral island looks like ________.A. a round cakeB. trees, grass and flowersC. a ring of landD. a round lake（3）There are ________ in the holes in corals.A. flowersB. little coralsC. grassD. sea animals（4）From the story we learn that ________.A. small workers can't do big thingsB. only big workers can do big thingsC. small workers can do big things if they work hard and work a long timeD. all small things can do big things2.阅读理解The world maps will soon be altered to reflect an eighth continent! Dubbed "Zealandia" the landmass that lies east of Australia covers 4.9 million km. Over 94 percent of it is submerged (淹没的) in the southwest Pacific Ocean, with just the islands of New Zealand and New C aledonia visible above sea level.To be clear, the underwater land is not a recent find. Researchers have known about its existence since 1995 when Bruce Luyendyk discovered and proposed an eighth continent that he called Zealandia. At the time, the area was dismissed as a collection of islands and land fragments (碎片), or at the most, classified as a micro continent—a landmass of continental crust that is not geologically connected to the nearest continent, in this case, Australia.However, after observing the areas features on an underwater topography map, New Zealand geologist Nick became convinced that Zealandia is a continent. Mortimer says that while Zealandia is much smaller than our seven continents, at over half the size of Australia, it is unfair to classify it as a microcontinent. The geologist argues, “If you could pull the plug on the world's oceans, then Zealandia would probably long ago have been recognized as a continent.”Geologist Christopher Scotese argues that too much of the landmass is underwater, asserting it's "almost a continent the way Pluto is almost a planet." Richard Ernst, a geologist, proposes coining a new term minicontinent—for Zealandia. He thinks this is perfect given that it is too large to be called a microcontinent and too small to be classified as a full-sized continent. Given that there is no international panel to decide the fate of Zealandia, its future as a continent is uncertain. Mortimer hopes that if supporters start using the term Zealandia, it may eventually catch on. Whether that happens remains to be seen, but for now, we will have to be satisfied with just seven continents!（1）According to the text, Zealandia ________.A. was found and named by Bruce LuyendykB. is made of a lot of visible islandsC. is connected to Australia geologicallyD. covers 94% of the southwest Pacific Ocean（2）What does the phrase "pull the plug on" mean?A. EnterB. UncoverC. SailD. Fold（3）Why does Christopher NOT consider Zealandia to be a continent?A. It is too small to be a full-sized continent.B. Some sections of it is just 7 miles thick.C. Most of it lies under water.D. It was once just part of the continent Australia.（4）What might be the best title for the text?A. Is Minicontinent a New Name for Zealandia?B. Is a Continent Appearing in the Pacific Ocean?C. Is the World Map Going to Be changed?D. Is "Zealandia" an Eighth Continent?3.阅读理解Among the many things that Brisbane(布里斯班) Australia does really well，is the care for kids.Here's a list of places that we think will be suitable for your kids.Swimming poolsSimple way for happiness：mix kids with water.Of course，this is a choice for the hot summer months.

(英语)高一英语阅读理解试题(有答案和解析)

英语）高一英语阅读理解试题（有答案和解析）一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Ten minutes of gentle exercise can immediately change how certain parts of the brain communicate and coordinate （协调） with one another and improve memory function, according to an encouraging new study.The scientists invited 36 people of different ages to the lab and had them sit quietly on a fixed bicycle for 10 minutes or, on a separate visit, pedal the bicycle at a pace so gentle that it barely raised their heart rates. It also was short, lasting for only 10 minutes. Immediately after each session of the sitting or slow pedaling, the people completed a computerized memory test during which they would see a brief picture of, for instance, a tree, followed by a variety of other images and then a new image of either the same tree or a similar one. The people would press buttons to show whether they thought each image was new or the same as an earlier shot. The test is difficult, since many of the images closely resemble one another. It requires rapid, skillful scanning recent memories to decide whether a picture is new or known. Next, the scientists had each people repeat this process--riding or sitting on the bike for 10 minutes and then completing memory testing--but the testing now took place inside an M. R. I. machine（磁共振成像仪）thatscanned the people's brains while they responded to the images.Then the researchers compared results. The effects of the exercise were clear. The people were better at remembering images after they had ridden the bike, especially when the images most closely resembled one another. In other words, the harder their memories had to do their best, the better they performed after the exercise. The M. R. I. scans showed that memory parts of each people's brain lit up at the same time with parts of the brain associated with learning, indicating that these physically separate parts of the brain were better connected now than when the people had not first exercised.（1）How did the researchers conduct the study?A. By filling up questionnaires.B. By interviewing many people.C. By comparing experiment data.D. By referring to historical reports.（2）Who might benefit most from the study result?A. The marketers promoting fixed bicycles.B. The young people crazy about body building.C. The white collars doing long-term mental work.D. The blue-collars doing heavy physical labor work.（3）Which of the following statements agrees with the study result?A. The light exercise is only good for young people.B. The more the exercise is, the better the brain works.C. The exercise can coordinate different parts of the body.D. The exercise has more positive effect when the brain works harder.（4）What can be the best title for the text?A. Even ten minutes' exercise may be good for the brainB. There is no need for humans doing exercise every dayC. Only ten minutes' light exercise benefits the young mostD. Exercise can change people's brains and minds in a long time 【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）D（4）A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。
