It is reported that more than 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans every year, and nearly half of the plastic we produce is single-use only.This shoe brand, however, is riding the wave of change and is on a mission to help clean up our waters and rid the sea of plastic bottles that can take up to 400 years to break down. Vivobarefoot's newest footwear uses recycled plastic materials and has created an education program that spreads awareness about how harmful plastic is for sea life.Every pair of shoes is made up of 17 plastic water bottles taken from the ocean and turned into a sustainable, comfortable pair of shoes, which are also healthy for your feet. And while not everyone can take part in ocean cleanups, choosing little ways we can give back to our planet goes a long way.Vivobarefoot's new products include a variety of high-performance styles such as casual sneakers, running shoes, and hiking boots. The brand hopes that its latest initiative(首创精神)will help lessen the indifference to pollution and how harmful it is for all living beings.In the future, Vivobarefoot hopes to increase their production of shoes created from sustainable materials, and thankfully, they are now one of many brands that aim to increase environmentalism and educate communities on how global warming affects everyone.This year, they'll add more recyclable and traceable materials into more than half of their production line, and they have plenty of creative developments in the works as well.The shoes also have a health benefit.

(共120篇+详细解析)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。

(第1篇)You know how wonderful you are, and you know that others know how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy? For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship. When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is. Don't let jealousy spoil your relationships. Tackle it headon and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is, but if you want to save your friendship you'll have to do just that. Don't approach them and ask why they are jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally conceited), just take some time alone with them and let them know that you've been feeling like there's been something coming between you. If they refuse to respond, then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling. Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.When you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better. If, for example, (s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn't get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from tee swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you. Remember, though, that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise. Don't limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy. Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.Even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy. This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies. Before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise.If you can't, be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friendand how far you won't.解读:本文是关于人际关系的话题。

高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)

高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)一、考纲解读阅读理解核心是“理解”。

“理解”既包括能准确把握所读材料的表层(字面意思)内容,还要理解内在含义;又包括能概括文章的主旨大意,能对语篇、文段的内部结构进行逻辑分析,推断出段落大意、文章主旨、作者的观点意图及文中未表达的事实、结论。

阅读理解材料内容真实新潮,选材贴近生活,贴近时代,渗透文化意识,强调实际应用。

大致涉及人物趣事、中外交流、社会文化、语言习惯、历史事件、日常生活、新闻广告、科普知识等等。

在体裁上,记叙文、说明文、议论文和应用文各占一定的比例。

新课标对英语阅读的要求:(1)理解主旨要义。

(2)理解文中具体信息。

(3)根据上下文推断单词和短语的含义。

(4)做出简单判断和推理。

(5)理解文章的基本结构。

(6)理解作者的意图、观点和态度。

二、解题策略解答阅读理解题的总体策略应定位于:单句入手,语篇突破,着眼整体,归纳推断。

具体的做法是:第一、准确理解关键句子、关键词语的意义。

善于解读难句、猜测生词的词义和语义,注意跨文化语言障碍,避免因粗心大意或理解不准确造成曲解或误解。

第二、抓住语句表达的实质。

即不仅能看懂词、句的表面意思,而且能够扑捉到文字背后的引申意义以及作者的态度和倾向,即潜在的深层含义。

第三、要耐心细致地读完全部选项,应按照“误否?虚否?偏否?”的三级思考程序来分析鉴别每一个选项,即先看与文中内容是否相矛盾,再看在文中有没有信息支撑点,最后看能不能完全符合题目的要求,找出差异,然后根据问题的特点和题型确定选项。

不要急于求成,使选出的答案似是而非。

第四、要仔细审题。

学生由于把主要精力都放在选择正确答案上,因此一旦找到了叙述与短文事实相符的选项,就盲目地选它为答案,忽视了题目到底问什么,从而使所选答案答非所问。

第五、要以语篇事实为依据,理解通篇的逻辑关系,把握住语篇的结构与文脉,在事实的基础上进行合乎逻辑的推理,避免盲目的或无根据的主观臆断。

That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree.Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition (学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed (牺牲)to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. "Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers," she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family—and that's pretty powerful.(1)What did Jennifer do after high school?A.She supported herself through college.B.She helped her dad with his work.C.She taught her sisters and brothers at home.D.She ran the family farm on her own.(2)Why did Jennifer choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield?A.To save money for her parents.B.To take care of her kids easily.C.To find a well-paid job there.D.To learn from the best nurses.(3)What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal?A.Her reputation.B.Her health.C.Her chance of promotion.D.Her time with family.(4)What can we learn from Jennifer's story?A.Hard work pays off.B.Time is money.cation is the key to success.D.Love breaks down barriers.3.In the mid-1990s, Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven months, physically broken and having lost his mind. A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.His visit, however, ended up involving a lot more than that. Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land, and of the people he meets on his way: Rustam, his translator, a lovely 24-year-old who picked up his colorful English in California, Oleg and Natasha, his hosts in Tashkent, and a string of foreign aid workers.This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral (葬礼)followed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references, making his tale a well-rounded picture of Uzbekistan, seen from Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well as his delicate stomach. As the author explains, this is neither a travel nor a history book, or even a piece of reportage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions.(1)What made Mr Bissell return to Uzbekistan?A.His love for teaching.B.His friends' invitation.C.His desire to regain health.D.His interest in the country.(2)What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Working as a volunteer in Uzbekistan.B.Developing a serious mental disease.C.Writing an article about the Aral Sea.D.Taking a guided tour in Central Asia.(3)Which of the following best describes Mr Bissell's road trip in Uzbekistan?A.Pleasant.B.Romantic.C.Dangerous.D.Eventful. (4)What is the purpose of this text?A.To remember a writer.B.To introduce a book.C.To recommend a travel destination.D.To explain a cultural phenomenon.4.According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions (份), it's the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly (表面上) participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took, significantly more when the actor was thin.For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we're making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the "l have what she's having" effect. However, we'll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I'll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I'll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I?(1)What is the recent study mainly about?A.Consumer demand.B.Food safety.C.Eating behavior.D.Movie viewership.(2)What does the underlined word "beanpoles" in paragraph 1 refer to?A.Picky eaters.B.Big eaters.C.Tall thin persons.D.Overweight persons.(3)Why did the researchers hire the actor?A.To find out what she would do in the two tests.B.To see how she would affect the participants.C.To study why she could keep her weight down.D.To test if the participants could recognize her.(4)On what basis do we "adjust the influence" according to the last paragraph?A.How we perceive others.B.How hungry we are.C.How we feel about the food.D.How slim we want to be.二、七选五5. 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选山可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

He told his brother: "Receive this scholar and treat him well!Don't say a word to him,and everything will be OK."The monk left the temple. Upon returning, he went to meet his guest."Did my brother receive you properly?" asked the monk."You brother is outstanding. He's a great theologian!" exclaimed the theologian with great enthusiasm."What do you mean? My brother---a theologian?" stuttered(结巴地说)the surprised monk."We had a passionate conversation," replied the scholar." We communicated professionally by means of gestures. I showed him one finger and he replied by showing me two. Logically, I answered with three fingers and then he astonished me by raising a closed fist, ending the debate. With one finger, I implied the unity of Buddha. With two fingers, he expanded my point of view by reminding me that Buddha was inseparable from his theory. Delighted by the reply, with three fingers I expressed: Buddha and his theory in the world. Then he suggested a wonderful response, showing me his fist: Buddha, his theory and the world, all together as one whole. "A little later, the monk went to look for his one-eyed brother."So how did it go earlier with the theologian?" he asked."Very simple," said the brother. "He made fun of me; he show me one finger emphasizing that I have but one eye. Not wanting to fall into the conflict, I showed that he was fortunate enough to have two eyes. Critically, he continued, 'Be that as it may, between us, we have three eyes.' That was the straw that broke the camel's back. Showing him a closed fist, I threatened to lay him out right then and there if he didn't stop his insulting challenges."(1)According to the passage, the monk's brother is a person__________.A. who was a great theologianB. who was a three-eyed idiotC. who was a one-eyed theologianD. who was a fool with only one eye(2)The theologian thought the monk's brother as a great theologian because ______.

(英语)高考英语阅读理解(教育文化)真题汇编(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解教育文化类1.阅读理解The term "crocodile tears" refers to insincere sadness. This term has an etymology dating back several centuries. As early as the fourth century, crocodile tears are referenced in the literature with the meaning of insincere sorrow. It is said that crocodiles weep while eating their hunted animals because they are sad; however, this sadness is not honest.The term crocodile tears became widely popular after it was documented in a fifteenth-century book titled The Voyage and Travel of Sir John Mandeville, Knight. A passage from the book reads: "These crocodiles kill men and they eat them weeping."As you may already know, crocodilians(鳄目动物) likely feel bad about little—especially feeding. However, the assumption of the crocodile-tears metaphor may be true. In a 2007 paper published in BioScience titled "Crocodile Tears: And they eat them weeping", researchers observed 7 crocodilians in cages during feeding time at a reserve (4 caimans and 3 American alligators). The researchers observed the crocodilians outside of water at feeding stations to better find out whether tearing developed.Five of the 7 crocodilians developed something like tears in their eyes before, during or after feeding. The researchers suggest that these crocodile tears occur because a crocodilian hisses (发出嘶嘶声) while it eats, and this hissing forces air through the spaces in the bone behind the nose and out the eye, in the process picking up nasolacrimal secretions (鼻泪管分泌物.)In humans, crocodile tears is a medical condition that causes a person to tear up while eating. Crocodile tears typically occur because of a temporary loss of facial control due to damage of the facial nerve. Specifically, when the facial nerve grows again, it does so incorrectly thus resulting in tears during chewing food.(1)The underlined word "etymology" in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.A.a reference book containing articles on various topicsB.the origin and history of a particular termC.a printed sheet of paper that arc given free to advertiseD.the application and influence of a new theory(2)The term "crocodile tears" ________.A.is a medical condition that causes a crocodile to tear upB.became widely popular as early as the fourth centuryC.refers to pretended sadnessD.proved to be only an assumption(3)From the 2007 paper published in BioScience, we can know that ________.A.crocodilians especially feel bad about feedingB.not all the 7 crocodilians developed tearingC.the crocodilians were carefully observed inside waterD.crocodile tears occur because a crocodilian hisses after it eats(4)The passage is mainly about ________.A.what the real truth is about crocodile tearsB.when the term "crocodile tears" got popular in literatureC.how researchers made the experiment on crocodiliansD.why crocodile tears typically occur in humans【答案】(1)B(2)C(3)B(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,通过引用“鳄鱼的眼泪”这一说法的来源、发展以及相关实验来告诉读者“crocodile tears”的真实含义。

【英语】高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解The number of giraffes is becoming smaller across Africa, according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. The total population has dropped by 40 percent in the last 15 years. Surprisingly, even scientists haven't given much attention to giraffes. We are learning more about their ecology, but what we know is still way behind what we know about other species. "It's a silent extinction," said Dr. Julian Hennessy, a wildlife scientist."The main reason for the smaller number of giraffes is their loss of living places," said Hennessy, "as an increasing part of land is used for farming. But hunting also has a big influence." You might wonder why hunters would focus on giraffes. First of all, once a giraffe is brought down, there is lots of meat with a small amount of effort. Besides, there is another thing encouraging the hunting. In Tanzania, Hennessy says, the latest word on the street is that eating giraffe meat could cure AIDS. Fresh giraffe heads and bones can be sold at prices of up to $140 per piece.Another widespread misconception about giraffes is that they are everywhere. Look at kids' books which are full of giraffes. They are always in zoo collections. They can be seen easily, so you don't think we have to worry about them. But the truth is that they are in danger of extinction. There is a lack of right and true data.Hennessy and other researchers are now pulling together the data needed to improve the situation of the entire giraffe species and all nine subspecies (亚种). The information will be used to change the giraffe's listing on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, which now lists the species as of "least concern" but two subspecies as "endangered". "It's a lot of work to gather the necessary information," Hennessy says. "And several other giraffe subspecies will be recommended for endangered listings next year or the year after." He hopes that the world will finally start to take notice of how endangered these beloved animals have become.(1)By saying "It's a silent extinction", Hennessy tells us that ______.A. giraffes are unpopular in AfricaB. the giraffe is always silent in daily lifeC. the ecology of Africa needs more attentionD. the extinction occurs without enough attention(2)What has caused the high price of giraffe meat in Tanzania?A. The country's custom.B. The illegal international trade.C. The cost of hunting a giraffe.D. The idea that it's a cure for AIDS.(3)The misconception in Para. 3 can be corrected by ______.A. preventing illegal hunting in AfricaB. rewriting kids' books about giraffesC. providing reliable data about giraffesD. spreading scientific knowledge of AIDS(4)The final purpose of Hennessy's great effort is to ______.A. collect more information about giraffesB. raise public awareness of protecting giraffesC. prove giraffes will disappear in the next few yearsD. work with the International Union for Conservation of Nature【答案】(1)D(2)D(3)C(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了长颈鹿濒临灭绝的原因,并指出提供准确的数据,提高人们的保护意识至关重要。

No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick Mclntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, Mclntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).Since the 1930s, Mclntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.(1)What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B. The increasing variety of California big trees.C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.(2)Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?A. Ecological studies of forests.B. Banning woodcutting.C. Limiting housing development.D. Fire control measures.(3)What is a major cause of the water shortage according to Mclntyre?A. Inadequate snowmelt.B. A longer dry season.C. A warmer climate.D. Dampness of the air.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?A. California's Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon.C. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D. Patrick Mclntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California【答案】(1)A(2)D(3)C(4)A【解析】【分析】本文属于议论文,围绕加利福尼亚的大树从20世纪30年代以来大量减少为主题,探讨出现这一现象的原因。

Lydia is Korean, and her family moved to our city so her husband could go to graduate school. We started talking, and she was apologetic about how bad her English was, but I didn't care. I knew how hard it was to learn a second language. I enjoyed chatting with Lydia as we watched our kids play.It was what came next that challenged me: Lydia asked if I'd be willing to help her with her English. Now, I am not a teacher. I admire teachers, and I'm grateful for teachers, and it's because I admire what they do so much that I was very very sure that I couldn't do it myself.But Lydia was sure that she wanted my help. I was doubtful. I wasn't sure my "help" was even worth being called by that name. But because she asked me, I said "yes." And that was the beginning of a friendship. Lydia and I spent afternoons sitting together and reading the newspaper, and as we did, she asked me questions when she had them questions about language, yes, but also questions about the new culture she found herself in. In turn, I asked my own questions, growing curious about her home country and culture. We bonded over our shared faith and our struggles as mothers of kids with special needs, When I complimented(恭维) her cooking, she began to teach me about Korean food, eventually leading to a shared trip to explore the Korean grocery stores in our city. Because of Lydia, 1 learned more about my own hometown than I ever could have learned by myself. I'm still not sure that I'm any good as a teacher. But I'm grateful I said "yes" when my neighbor asked me to help her with her English. That meant spending extra time with my neighbor, and that extra time meant she didn't remain just my neighbor. She became my friend.(1)What was Lydia sorry about?A. Her bad English.B. Her carelessness.C. Nobody teaching her English.D. Her poor life in a new place.(2)What can be concluded from the third paragraph?A. The author admired teachers.B. The author wanted to be a teacher.C. The author didn't want to help Lydia.D.

He said he thought of the recycling program because he wanted to inspire children in the small town to read and pay attention to the environment."My goal is t0 spread the passion and love for books among those people in Italy who do not usually read while at the time helping the environment," Gentile explained.The idea for the initiative (倡议) came after Gentile collaborated with a nearby middle school on an aluminum recycling project. Working together, the schoolchildren and Gentile collected enough cans to purchase books for an entire classroom. His new program too off from there and has already spread into northern Italy: Gentile's hopes his work will continue to make headlines and become a worldwide initiative.The free books come from customers in Gentile's shop who have donated money to purchase a "suspended" book. The idea comes from a World War II practice in which customers would buy two Coffees: one for themselves and another for the next person in line. Gentile has been using the extra books as part of his recycling initiative,While Gentile's program is a great way to recycle and get kids to read, it also brings awareness to the growing problem of plastic waste. Single-use plastics make up around 26 percent of all the plastics in the world, only 14 percent of which are recycled. Plastics that end up in landfills take around 500 years to decompose (分解), is a major concern for environmentalists.Cutting down on plastic waste is important if we want to better the environment for future generations, and recycling programs like Gentile's book giveaway are a great way to meet that goal.(1)What is the purpose of Gentile's book giveaway?A.To sell more coffee and books.B.To attract more customers.C.To collect money for a new project.D.To inspire reading and recycling.(2)How did Gentile come up with the idea?A.Working with a school to recycle cans.B.Seeing school kids don't like reading.C.Donating books for a local school.D.Buying a “suspended” book for a child.(3)Who pay for the books of the project?A.The local government.B.Gentile himself.C.Some publishers.D.His customers.(4)Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.An Italian's Reading InitiativeB.Recycling Can Get Kids Free BooksC.Michele's Way of Doing BusinessD.A New Way to Deal with Plastic Waste【答案】(1)D(2)A(3)D(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,意大利书商Michele Gentile发起了一项“拿瓶换书”的活动,只要孩子们拿一个塑料瓶和一个铝罐就可以跟他换一本书,以此来鼓励孩子们阅读和环保。

The rule forbids people from driving in the city one day each week and one Saturday each month. Electric vehicles, government service vehicles, public transport options and school buses are not included in the ban.Mexico City isn't the first urban center to be involved in car-free living. But the ban is more than an awareness-raiser. It was enacted with the direct aim of solving air pollution. In March, the city sank into a deep brown haze of smog when the pollution levels passed the 200 mark. The city ordered some 1.1m of the area's 4.7m cars off the streets and also offered free bus and subway rides.Mexico City's temporary vehicle ban raises questions about the best ways to improve urban air quality. India, whose citizens breathe some of the world's dirtiest air, has tried a variety of solutions. Earlier this year, the Indian government started a 4% sales tax on new-car purchases. Beijing also has experience with cleaning the air. The city introduced alternate-day rules in advance of the 2008 Olympic Games, which produced good results. And then there is the London congestion (拥挤) charge, introduced in 2003. The charge has had a measurable effect on air quality.For now, Mexico City — named by the United Nations as the most polluted city on the planet in 1992 — can look forward to the start of the region's rainy season, when daily showers will help lo clean the air.(1)How did Mexico ban vehicles in the city?A. By banning private and Federal vehicles one day a week.B. By forbidding private and public vehicles every Saturday.C. By limiting the number of new cars.D. By prohibiting the vehicles except public ones.(2)What did the government of Mexico do when carrying out the ban on vehicles?A. Raised the number of public vehicles.B. Offered free bus and subway rides.C. Introduced more travel options.D. Encouraged citizens to leave the city.(3)What may contribute to improving the air quality in Mexico?A. Alternate-day rules.B. Tax rises.C. Congestion charge.D. The rainy season.(4)What's the best title for the passage?A. Mexico —an Island PlateauB. A Variety of Bans on Vehicles in MexicoC. Should Cities Be Car-free ZonesD.

⾼考英语阅读理解及答案⾼考英语阅读理解及答案 以下是yjbys⼩编为⼤家带来的⾼考英语阅读理解题以及参考答案,欢迎⼤家参考练习! 第⼀篇: LONDON----A morning‘s train ride away, across the Channel, English kids talk about Liverpool‘s soccer team in a Paris pub. Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London. In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival(竞争的) cities, London and Paris, in‖ A Tale of Two Cities.‖ These days, it might be A Tale of One City. Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor‘s broken French and respond in polite English. As jobs grew lack at home over recent years, perhaps 250000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs. Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down. ―For me, the difference is that London is real, alive,‖ said Trevor Wheeler, a banker. Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees.‖ I am French, but I‘ll stay in London,‖ she said. There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago.‖ I think people laugh more in Paris,‖ she said. In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property. ―Both cities have changed beyond recognition.‖ said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner. Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably. ―I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s, and it is still a wonderful place,‖ Collins said. ―But if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better.‖ But certainly not cheaper. In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris. Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice. Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don‘t have to choose. ―I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a center, but life is so structured,‖ she said. ―In London, you can be who you wan. No one cares.‖ 1.The best title for this passage is______. A. Londoners and Parisians B. A Modern Tale of Two Cities C. The Similarity of Two Cities D. Fancy London and Fashionable Paris 2.We can infer from the text______. A. Paris and London has become perfect partners B. London feels more full of life C. life in Paris is structured D. Paris and London have become fierce competitors 3.The underlined word flocked probably means______.A. came in large numbersB. flew a long wayC. rushed hurriedlyD. drove long distances 4.Living in Paris, you may find______.A. life is betterB. things are cheaperC. more attractive peopleD. a job easily 5.From the passage we can know______. A. the two cities have developed very fast B. London is better than Paris now C. Paris is a favourite place for all journalism students D. people in both London and Paris now lead a regular life 第⼆篇: A well-dressed man enforced a famous jewelryshop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl forhis wife‘s birthday. The price didn‘t matter. Sincebusiness had been very good for him that year. Afterexamining a nice black one that cost $5000, he paidfor the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler,and left. A few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pear so much that shewanted another one just like it. It had to be exactly the same size and quality, s she wanted apair of earrings made, ―Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?‖ said theman. The jeweler regretfully replied, ―I would say it‘s exactly impossible to find one exactlylike that pearl.‖ The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offering $ 25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people answered the advertisement but nobody had apearl that was just right. Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came into his store. To his greatsurprise, she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse. ―I don‘t like to part with it,‖ she saidsadly, ―I inherited it from my mother, and my mother inherited it from hers. But I really needthe money.‖ The jeweler was quick to pay her before she changed her mind. Then he called therich man‘s hotel to tell him the good news. The man, however, was nowhere to be found. 1. The man said he wanted to buy a pearl for ______.A. his wifeB. his mother-in –lawC. his own motherD. no one 2. He paid $ 5,000 for the black pearl without bargaining because ______.

A. exactly the same size as the black on B. exactly the same quality as the black one C. worth no more than $ 25,000 D. exactly as big and nice as the black one 4. Many people answered the advertisement because they wanted _______. A. to see the perfect pearl B. to buy some beautiful pearls too C. to get in touch with the rich man D. to sell their own pearl at a high price 5. The jeweler couldn‘t find the man anywhere because ______. A. he died suddenly. B. He happened to be out C. He got $ 20,00 by cheating and had run away with the money. D.

"Teaching means everything to us," Tim would say. In April1998, he learned he would need a heart operation.It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton' s foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Lindaand I could do something like this when we retire," Tim recalls.
