2019版高考英语阅读理解一轮练题(8)李仕才ANowadays more and more people are talking about genetically modified foods ( GM foods). GM foods develop from genetically modified organisms (有机体), which have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are much more precise where an organism is exposed to chemicals to create a nonspecific but stable change. For many people, the hightech production raises all kinds of environmental, ethical, health and safety problems. Particularly in countries with long farming traditions, the idea seems against nature.In fact, GM foods are already very much a part of our lives. They were first put on the market in 1996. A third of the corn and more than half the cotton grown in the U. S. last year was the product of biotechnology, according to the Department of Agriculture. More than 65 million acres of genetically modified crops will be planted in the US this year. The genetic genie is out of the bottle.However, like any new product entering the food chain, GM foods must be subjected to careful testing. In wealthy countries, the debate about biotech is not so fierce by the fact that they have a large number of foods to choose from, and a supply that goes beyond the needs. In developing countries desperate to feed fastgrowing and underfed populations, the matter is simpler and much more urgent: do the benefits of biotech outweigh the risks?The statistics on population growth and hunger are disturbing. Last year the world's population reached 6 billion. The UN states that nearly 800 million people around the world are unhealthy. About 400 million women of childbearing age don' t have enough iron, which means their babies are exposed to various birth defeats.As many as 100 million children suffer from vitamin A deficiency, a leading cause of blindness.How can biotech help? Genetic engineering is widely used to produce plants and animals with better nutritional values. Biotechnologists have developed genetically modified rice and they are working on other kinds of nutritionally improved crops. Biotech can also improve farming productivity in places where food shortages are caused by crop damage attributable to drought, poor soil andcrop viruses.1.The passage mainly talks about________.A. the world's food problemB. the development in biotechC. the genetically modified foodsD. the way to solve food shortages2.According to the passage, GM foods________.A. will replace naturally grown foodsB. are far better than naturally grown foodsC. may help to solve the problem of poor nutritionD. can cause serious trouble in developing countries3.The underlined sentence “The genetic genie is out of the bottle.”in Paragraph 2 probablymeans that________.A.GM foods are available everywhereB. the technology in producing GM foods is advancedC. genetic technology may have uncontrollable powersD. genetic technology has come out of laboratories into markets4.What's the writer's attitude towards GM foods?A. Enthusiastic.B. Cautious.C. Disapproving.D. Unbelievable.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了转基因食品及其对人类生活的影响。

2019年高考英语阅读理解一轮练(1)(含解析)练习)李仕才ACareer criminals begin their antisocial behavior during their toddler (学步的儿童) years and may go on with a life of crime if their behavior isn’t challenged, scientists have discovered. While most children grow out of their bad behavior by adulthood, a study found those who had “callous unemotional (冷漠无情的) characteristics” could grow up to have problems with the law later in life. Behavior characteristics such as a lack of sympathy and lying in childhood could have an impact years on.Luke Hyde, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, said, “These are signs for parents and doctors to watch out for, as they may signal more than just the terrible twos.” He said, “Parents both take care of their child and provide their child’s genes so it’s been difficult to know if we’re seeing that parenting causes callous unemotional behaviors, or if it isjust a sign of the genes being passed to the child.”The research also discovered that strict parenting is linked to the development of antisocial behavior. Scientists looked at 561 families in an adoption study that examined biological mothers’ antisocial behavior. The scientists found children of antisocial mothers were also more likely to exhibit the same behavior characteristics, despite having limited or no touch with themas they were adopted as babies.“The really exciting take-home message from this study is that small, day-to-day positive interactions (互动) that parents have with their young children can make a huge difference in children’s development,’’ said Leslie Leve, a professor at the University of Oregon who co-led the data collection.University of Michigan, Penn State University and the University of Oregonhas been published in the American Journal of Psychiatry. Researchers will follow the group of children through early adolescence to determine if these behaviors still continue to exist from the toddler years.1.What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Kids’ social behaviors are related to crime.B. Criminals begin their crimes during adolescence.C. Antisocial behaviors of kids could be on their way to a life of crime.D. Warmhearted kids are more likely to be criminals in the future.2.What conclusion might the scientists draw from the study?A. Antisocial behaviors might be inherited.B. The genes decide kids’ antisocial behaviors.C. Antisocial behaviors have nothing to do with crimes.D. Adopted babies surely have antisocial behaviors when they grow up.3.What can be inferred from the passage?A. Pa renting is the main reason that causes kids’ antisocial behaviors.B. What causes career criminals to begin their crimes is their parents’ characteristics.C. Leslie Leve has a doubtful attitude to adoptive mothers’ active interactions with kids.D. Inherited antisocial behaviors of kids can be lightened by positive parenting.4.Why will researchers track kids’ process of growing?A. To make sure if kids’ behaviors will last.B. To make sure if praise will change kids.C. To determine if kids’ behaviors wil l be inherited.D.【文章大意】研究人员发现孩子的反社会行为有可能使他们走向犯罪的道路,积极的育儿方式可以减轻孩子的反社会行为。

2019年高考英语阅读理解一轮练(9)李仕才ALife can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks(挫折) and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and what we’re seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的)suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it’s easier to just give up. But we’re never meant to let go of part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us — the real us. It’s the part that believes in the life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little "dead" inside because you’re dropping "you".So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck,how do we break these patterns?Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today’s challenges.While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind — or the minds of those close to us — usually says we can’t. That isn’t a reason to stop, it’s just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It’s all about starting sim ple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release from the jail of your mind and you’ll be on your way.1. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ________.A. slow down and live a simple lifeB. be careful when we choose to changeC. stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD. be content with what we already have2. What is the key to breaking the old patterns?A. To focus on every detail.B. To decide and take immediate action.C. To listen to those close to us.D. To think twice before we act.3. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?A. Escape from your punishment.B. Realization of your dreams.C. Freedom from your tension.D. Reduction of your expectations.4. What does the author intend to tell us?A. It’s easier than we think to get what we want.B. It’s important to learn to accept sufferings in life.C. It’s impractical to change our way of thinking.D. It’s harder than we expect to follow a new course.【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。

Unit 2 Fit for life李仕才一、阅读理解。

For many people,being on the job might just sound like a picnic compared to a day at home filled with housework,meals and childcare.Even for those with a happy family life,home can sometimes feel more taxing than work.In a new study,researchers at Penn State University found significantly and consistently lower levels of cortisol(皮质醇) released in response to stress,in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home.This was true for both men and women,and parents and people without children.Both men and women showed less stress at work.But women were more likely to report feeling happier there.Men were more likely to feel happier at home.Experts say there are other reasons why work is less st ressful than home for many.“Paid work is more valued in society,” says Sarah Damaske, the lead researcher on the study.“Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.”We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards,Yet none of us,no matter how long we've been doing it,ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.The support and friendship of co­workers also offer stress relief.At home,meanwhile,stress spreads and accumulates quickly.“That's the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners,” Dr.Damaske says.Much of the advice to families and couples includes the warning to leave work stress at the office and even to change our mindset from work to home,for example,a walk around the block.The recent findings,though,suggest our home life,not our attitude,might be due for some change.1.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “taxing”?A.stressful B.cheerfulC.worthwhile D.rewarding2.What did the research in the second paragraph prove?A.Men felt better at home.B.Women felt they had less time.C.Women were easier to feel happier.D.Most people felt more stress at home.3.What do most people think of work at the office?A.It is competitive.B.It improves ability.C.It can't relieve stress.D.It doesn't always pay off.4.According to the recent findings,what should we change to solve the problem mentioned?A.Our attitude. D.Our mindset.C.Our home life. D.Our working style.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了一项研究,该研究表明越来越多的人认为上班比在家做家务、做饭和带孩子更轻松一些。

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。

Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student,” Whaley explains,“especially for a student who is learning English as their new language,to feel confident enough to say,‘I don’t know,but I want to know.’”
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device(装置)that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏)with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people's identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.

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。

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.

2019年高考英语阅读理解一轮练(8)含解析

2019年高考英语阅读理解一轮练(8)李仕才AA recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlours(客厅) where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way? No, the English, too, pay more attention to their pets.This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods,which often contain more vitamins than human food. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it’s not unusual for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children.There are a variety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of babies — a disease with no known cure.Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat,and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the "sweet little thing" has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on "Rover" or "Bonzo". Then they just abandon it. As a result, they are allowed to run free. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone’s pet and you must have read of children being hurt by some pets of their own.Lastly, I would only suggest that we have got our priorities wrong and that something should be done about it. In my view, it’s time we stopped being sentimental about pets. I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up formedical experiments. This will lead us to discovering cures for serious human diseases, then I say,"keep cutting!"1. The doggy parlours are mentioned in the 1st paragraph to show ________.A. what costly lives the pets are livingB. where Americans keep their petsC. why children love their pets so muchD. how much pets depend on their masters2. In the second paragraph "to get hot under the collar" probably means ________.A. getting quite hotB. becoming excitedC. feeling extremely angryD. receiving a fashionable shirt3. According to the author, in which field can animals be most useful?A. Food.B. Sports.C. Entertainment.D. Medicine.4. What is the author’s attitude towards pets-raising?A. Sympathetic.B. Opposed.C. Pitiful.D. Supportive.【文章大意】这是一篇议论文。

trails(小路) without a pilot’s assistance.This could allow rescuers to search more efficiently.Scientists outfitted a craft with a single camera.As the drone’s “eye”,the camera pointed forwards.But having an eye wasn’t enough.The drone also needed a “brain” to underst and what it was seeing.And that brain would have to recognize what constitutes a trail.Camera images,however,can be very difficult for a computer to interpret,study leader Alessandro Giusti notes.So he and his team used photos of forest trails to train the ir drone’s neural network(神经网络).They attached three GoPro cameras to a single headband.One camera pointed straight forward.The other two were directed 30 degrees to the right and left of the centre.A hiker put the package on and then hit the trails in a forested part of Switzerland.Over several weeks,the cameras recorded a total of 8 hours of video covering 7 kilometres of trails.The researchers then divided the video into individual still images to train the neural network.The network learned to identify what a trail looked like.The team then tested the program with unused imagesfrom the video.The computer did a slightly better job than the people had in correctly classifying the images.This meant the drone was ready to navigate the real world on its own.Giusti and his team took their now “smart” device to a forest with trails that had not been used in the drone’s training.It flew along the path,constantly adjusting its direction based on the images coming in through its camera.The drone didn’t perform a s well in real-life as it did in the lab,Giusti admits.That’s because the drone’s camera took lower-quality images than the cameras that had been used to train it.As a result,the images being taken by the drone looked different,he explains.This confused its neural network.“It’s an exciting use for neural networks,” says Christopher Rasmussen,a computer-vision scientist who was not involved with the study.“However,the problems faced in the experiments show that there are still some important issues to be wo rked out.”1.The “smart” drone has been created in order to help .A.find travelers who get lostB.ensure the safety of travelersC.deliver necessities to travelersD.show travelers the way to a place2.While being tested to classify the images in the lab,the computer .A.did as well as the peopleB.did a lot better than the peopleC.did much worse than the peopleD.did a little better than the people3.Why didn’t the drone perform well in the forest?A.The light in the forest was very poor.B.The trees or bushes covered the trails.C.The drone couldn’t fly very low there.D.The pictures taken were of poor quality.4.What is Christopher Rasmussen’s attitude towards the results of the

Knightscope says its robots can predict and prevent crime.Knightscope says the goal is to reduce crime by half in areas the robots guard.William Santana Li is the chief executive officer of Knightscope.He says,“These robot security guards will change the world.Our planet has seven billion people on it.It’s going to quickly get to nine billion people.The security equipment that we have globally is just not going to develop that fast.The company’s Autonomous Data Machines can become the eyes and ears of law enforcement (执行).”“You want it to be machines plus humans.Let the machines do the heavy and sometimes dangerous work and let the humans do the strategic decision-making work,so it’s always working all together.”The machines are one and a half meters tall and weigh 136 kilograms.They do not carry weapons but they have day-and-night time video cameras which are able to turn 360 degrees and can also sense chemical and biological weapons.Some people may become concerned about their privacy,especially in connection with the video recordings.Some people may worry that such recordings will appear on the Internet.Eugene Volokh,a law professor at the University of California,says the machines have to be used in the right way and it will be interesting to see how state laws deal with this kind of video.William Santana Li says there is a long waiting list for the robots in the US.Workers in the company are working overtime to meet the demands of the market.At least 25 other countries are also interested in these robotic security guards.5.What can this new

AJeremy Baras remembers the first time he ever saw a pop-up restaurant. The 26-year-old entrepreneur was on vacation in England four years ago and had to look up at the London Eye Ferries wheel to see it. Hanging above him was a capsule(航天舱)full of diners who were served a new course each time a revolution was made. “I thought that was the coolest thing ever”, he says. Baras, who founded in 2012 to promote the idea of pop-up restaurants in the USA, has been studying them ever since.Pop-ups, which have been around since at least the early 2000s, are open anywhere from a few hours to several months, but their defining feature is that they are temporary. They may be only a tiny part of the $709 billion U.S. restaurant industry, but pop-ups have gotten a boost in recent years as a lower-cost, lower-risk way for entrepreneurs to test the waters. Some restaurant owners see them as a way to renew interest in existing locations. And some struggling cities, like Oakland, California, have turned to them to help revitalize local economies impacted by the recession(衰退).The concept has been especially popular with up-and-coming chefs who want to test-drive as a menu concept without investing a fortune in a permanent space. “Your cooks and chefs are really talented, but they’re stuck in the back of somebody else’s kitchen cooking somebody else’s menu,” says Zach Kupperman, chie f businessman officer and co-founder of Dinner Lab.Chefs in Dinner Lab cook in the middle of space, give a brief introduction about the menu and themselves — and then bravely listen to diner feedback afterward. Pop-ups’ temporary nature also allows restaurateurs to charge a deposit to make sure the diners will show up.Of course, trends in the food industry come and go quickly, and there is no guarantee that diners won’t tire of the concept. Some entrepreneurs have resorted to even weirder locations — in a former limestone mine, say, or at the top of a crane —to keep customers interested. “It’s not quite part of the mainstream economy yet.”says Baras.51. What does the underlined part “a revolution was made” in Paragraph One possibly mean?A. Chefs designed creative dishes.B. Diners tasted food in a new and creative way.C. The capsule containing diners made a circle.D. Great changes were made in the food industry.52. Perspective chefs are drawn to pop-ups due to the fact that ________.A. pop-ups are becoming increasingly popular with diners worldwideB. they have the desire to explore a safer way to make a livingC. their investment in pop-ups will bring them a long-lasting fortuneD. pop-ups provide a changeable test field for talented chefs’ creati vity53. The writer’s purpose of writing the passenger is ________.A. to appeal to people to dine out in pop-up restaurantsB. to give a brief introduction of pop-up restaurantsC. to warn business owners of the appearance of pop-up restaurantsD. to foresee the future of pop-up restaurants’ developmentBThe pills we take to treat anxiety may affect the behavior of fish, new research in the journal Science suggests.Swedish researchers found a common drug in rivers downstream of wastewater treatment plants. It is a drug for treating anxiety, called oxazepam. It is accumulating in fish and makes them bolder. Wastewater treatment plants are not designed to get rid of drugs. As a result, the drugs end up in wildlife, reaching harmful levels.“It’s something we don’t think about very often, but there are a lot of similarities between fish and humans. So some of our responses to drugs can be seen in fish as well,” said Karen Kidd. She is a biologist at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. The mood-altering drugs get into waterways when people taking the prescriptions throw unused pills into the waste stream.The researchers let perch(鲈鱼)swim in lab tanks with concentrations similar to those found downstream from wastewater treatment plants. “The perch pref erred to swim alone rather than in large groups. They were more likely to explore their environment,” said Micael Jonsson of Umeå University in Sweden, who helped lead the research.Johsson said, “This adventurous behavior required more energy. And they a te more plankton (浮游生物), or tiny algae-eating animals, to guarantee enough energy for their activities. This could reduce the population of plankton.” The result could be more algae(水藻). On the other hand, the new behavior could lead to the opposite effect. If perch make themselves closer to their natural enemies, they are likely to be eaten by them.None of the scientists is suggesting that people should give up these drugs. They just want to reduce the effects of the medicines on the environment. They recommend wastewater treatment plants should be redesigned to get rid of these medicines. But Kidd said that would be too expensive for some communities.Bryan Brooks, director of the Environmental Health Science Program at Baylor University, said drugs could also be designed to break down more quickly in the environment. And the government could continue to run recycling programs where people drop off their unused drugs at government locations. Brooks said he’s particularly concerned about drug effects on aquatic(水生的)environments, like the Trinity River south of Dallas and the South Platte River near Denver, where the majority of the flow comes from treated wastewater. In the developing world, he said, the problem may be even worse, because of careless wastewater treatment and industrial regulations.54. Which of the following best describes oxazepam’s effect on fish?A. It causes fish to be more daring.B. It makes fish much stronger.C. It has little influence on fish.D. It helps treat a fish disease.55. What will happen if perch become adventurous?A. They will eat more algae.B. There will be less plankton.C. They will need more oxazepam.D. Their natural enemies will be stronger.56. What would be the best title for the passage?A. More wastewater treatment plants are neededB. Fish in wastewater become more adventurousC. Drugs for treating mental diseases end up in wildlifeD. Anxiety drugs found in rivers change the behavior of fishCCulture can affect not just language and customs, but also how peopleexperience the world on surprisingly basic levels.Researchers, with the help of brain scans, have uncovered shockingdifferences in perception(感知)between Westerners and Asians, what they seewhen they look at a city street, for example, or even how they perceive a simpleline in a square, according to findings published in a leading science journal.In western countries, culture makes people think of themselves as highly independent individuals. When looking at scenes, Westerners tend to focus more on central objects than on their surroundings. East Asian cultures, however, emphasize inter-dependence. When Easterners look at a scene, they tend to focus on surroundings as well as the object.Using an experiment involving two tasks, Dr Hedden asked subjects to look at a line simply to estimate its length, a task that is played to American strengths. In another, they estimated the line’s length relative to the size of a square, an easier task for the Asians.The level of brain activity, by tracking blood flow, was then measured by Brain Scanners. The experiment found that although there was no difference in performance, and the tasks were very easy, the levels of activity in the subjects’ brains were different. For the Americans, areas linked to attention lit up more, when they worked on the task they tended to find more difficult —estimating the line’s size relative to the square. For the Asians, the attention areas lit up more during the harder task also —estimating the line’s length without comparing it to the square. The findings are a reflection of more than ten years of previous experimental research into East-West differences.In one study, for instance, researchers offered people a choice among five pens; four red and one green. Easterners were more likely to choose a red pen while Westerners were more likely to choose the green one.Culture is not affecting how you see the world, but how you choose to understand and internalize(使内化)it.But such habits can be changed. Some psychological studies suggest that when an Easternergoes to the West or vice versa, habits of thought and perception also begin to change. Such research gives us clues on how our brain works and is hopeful for us to develop programs to improve our memory, memory techniques and enhance and accelerate our learning skills.57. According to the passage, Chinese people are most likely to ________.A. more emphasize independent thinkingB. always focus more on their surroundingsC. focus on the context as well as the objectD. think of Westerners as highly independent units58. We know from the passage that people’s brains will be more active when ________.A. the task is much easierB. the blood flow is trackedC. people begin to choose colorsD. the task is more difficult59. What does Dr Hedden's experiment in Paragraph 4-5 indicate?A. Culture has a great impact on the way people talk and behave.B. Easterners and Westerners perceive the world differently.C. People's perception of the world can be changed.D. Americans are better at calculating than the Asians.60. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. Easterners prefer collectivism to individualismB. East Asian cultures lay more emphasis on independenceC. it took over ten years to find out how to improve our brainpowerD. Americans will change their habits of perception when they’re in BritainDMy grandmother Rosalind Einhorn was born exactly fifty-two years before I was, on August 28, 1917. Like many poor Jewish families in New York City, hers lived in a small, crowded apartment close to their relatives. Her parents, aunts and uncles addressed her male cousins by their given names, but she and her sister were referred to only as “Girlie”.During the Depression, my grandmother was pulled out of Morris High School to help support the household by sewing fabric flowers onto undergarments that her mother could resell for a tiny profit. No one in the community would have considered taking a boy out of school. A boy’s education was the family’s hope to move up the financial and social ladder.Education for girls, however, was less significant both financially, since they were unlikely to contribute to the family’s income, and culturally, since boys were expected to study the To rah while girls were expected to run a “proper home”. Luckily for my grandmother, a local teacher insisted that her parents put her back into school. She went on not only to finish high school but to graduate from U.C. Berkeley.After college, “Girlie” worked selling pocketbooks and accessories at David’s Fifth Avenue. When she left her job to marry my grandfather, David’s had to hire four people to replace her. Years later, when my grandfather’s paint business was struggling, she jumped in and took some of the hard steps he was unwilling to take, helping to save the family from financial ruin. She displayed her business ability again in her forties. After being diagnosed (诊断)with breast cancer, she beat it and then devoted herself to raising money for the clinic that treated her by selling some watches. Girlie ended up with a profit that Apple would envy.I have never met anyone with more energy and determination than my grandmother.When my grandmother had children of her own — my mother and her two brothers —she emphasized education for all of them. My mother attended the University of Pennsylvania. When she graduated in 1965 with a degree in French literature, she surveyed a workforce that she believed consisted of two career options for women: teaching or nursing. She chose teaching. She began a Ph. D. programme, got married, and then dropped out when she became pregnant with me. It was thought to be a sign of weakness if a husband needed his wife’s help to support their family, so my mother became a stay-at-home parent and an active volunteer. The centuries-old division of labor stood.Even though I grew up in a traditional home, my parents had the same expectationsfor me, my sister, and my brother. All the three of us were encouraged to do well in school, do equal routine tasks, and participate in after-school activities. We were all supposed to be athletic too. My brother and sister joined sports teams, but I was the kid who got picked lastin gym, despite my athletic shortcomings. I was raised to believe that girls could do anything boys could do and that all career paths were open to me.When I arrived at college in the fall of 1987, my classmates of both genders seemed equally focused on academics. I don’t remember thinking about my future career differentlyfrom the male students. I also don’t remember any conversations about someday balancing work and children. My friends and I assumed that we would have both. Men and women competed openly and aggressively with one another in classes, activities,and job interviews. Just two generations removed from my grandmother, the playing field seemed to be level.But more than twenty years after my college graduation, the world has not evolved nearly as much as I believed it would. Almost all of my male classmates work in professional settings. Some of my female classmates work full-time or part-time outside the home and just as many are stay-at-home mothers and volunteers like my mom. This mirrors the national trend. In comparison to their male counterparts(相同能力者), highly trained women are scaling back and dropping out of the workforce in high numbers.61. Why were the writer’s grandma and her sisters called “Girlie”?A. They had not yet got their given names.B. They were highly valued by their elders.C. They shared apparent similarities in many ways.D. They were regarded as less important than boys.62. What conclusion can we draw about the writer’s grandmother?A. She was an extraordinarily able and tough woman.B. She was full of ideas for solving various problems.C. She benefited greatly from her family background.D. She had special ways of teaching her own children.63. What might people think when the writer’s mother gave up her job?A. Her freedom of choice ought to be well respected.B. Her job should be taken over by a younger person.C. It was a real shame about her losing that good job.D. It was quite normal for a woman like her to do so.64. From the description of the writer’s own life, we can see ________.A. great expectations in the students’ mindsB. seeming social progress in certain aspectsC. innocent friendship between boys and girlsD. positive attitudes to work and competitions65. By writing the passage the writer intends to reveal ________.A. the necessity of women’s educationB. the importance of women’s liberationC. the existence of gender discriminationD. the lives of three generations of women第五部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)请认真阅读下面的短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

2019版高考英语阅读理解一轮练题(7)李仕才AHe was there every morning, sitting motionless on the front steps of his house. 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 man’s not answering her greeting2.How did the author feel when his daughter gave the red leaf to the man?A. ProudB. NervousC. EmbarrassedD. Comfortable3.Why did Bob keep that little red leaf?A. It was a care from a girlB. It was a symbol of enthusiasmC. It was a reminder of his painful daysD. It represented the knowledge of trees4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.A Simple Red LeafB.A Strange NeighborC. An Unusual FriendD.A Greeting From A girl【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

多年后在女儿毕业的时候,这位男士送给女儿一本书,上面印有各种各样的植物和树,还有女儿曾经送给他的那片树叶,在那片树叶里包含着那位男士痛苦的过去。

根据第二段中But her cheerfulness soon faded when the mandidn’t look at her and say “Hi” back.及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,的提示可知令那位女孩困惑的是那位男士没有回答她的问候,故选D。

3.A 【解析】推理判断题。

BOne day,a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school,found he had only one thin dime(十分硬币) left,and he was hungry.He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house.However,he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water.She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk.He drank it slowly,and then asked,“How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied.“Mother has taught us never to acc ept pay for a kindness,” He said.“Then I thank you from my heart.”As Howard Kelly left that house,he not only felt stronger physically,but his faith in God and man was strong.He was about to give up and quit before this point.Years later that young woman became critically ill.The local doctors were baffled(束手无策).They finally sent her to the big city,where they called in specialists to study her rare disease.Dr Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation.When he heard the name of the town she came from,a strange light filled his eyes.Immediately he rose and went to her room.Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her.He recognized her at once.He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life.From that day he gave special attention to the case.After a long struggle,the battle was won.Dr Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.He looked at it,then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.She feared to open it,for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all.Finally she opened,and something caught her attention on the side of the bill.She began to read the following words:“Paid in full with one glass of milk.Signed,Dr Howard Kelly.”1.Why did the boy do some selling from house to house?A.To have a big dinner.B.To finish his schooling.C.To drink a glass of water.D.To pay for the woman’s bill.2.How did the woman feel at first when she got the bill?A.Worried.B.Cheerful.C.Angry.D.Moved.3.What can we infer from the text?A.The woman finally recovered from her sickness.B.Howard Kelly had never been to the woman’s town.C.It was easy for Howard Kelly to save the woman’s life.D.The local doctors cared little about the woman’s disease.4.What can we learn from the text?A.Desire has no rest.B.Grasping all loses all.C.Virtue is its own reward.D.Asking costs nothing.1.B 细节理解题。
