体裁：记叙文话题：助人为乐时间：15分钟On a cold winter day，a group of strangers band together to save three children.The 30 miles of switchbacks(急转弯) that snake through the pinecovered mountains of Logan Canyon in Utah are enough to make most drivers' hands sweat.But Roger Andersen，a 46yearold father of four，wasn't expecting any trouble on the road last New Year's Eve，when he set off for an unexpected ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with nineyearold daughter Mia，fouryearold son Baylor，and nineyearold neighbor Kenya Wildman.Andersen had driven through the canyon hundreds of times over the years.“We ski in t hat area at least 20 times a year，” says Andersen.“I know the spots that ice up a lot in the winter.”The weather was glorious for hitting the slopes—30 degrees and sunny—but the higher they drove，theslicker(滑溜溜的) the roads became.Rounding a sharp turnat mile maker 473，Andersen saw a truck that had skatedoff the road and tapped his brakes(刹车) suddenly.In aninstant，the Honda Accord was sliding at 25 miles per hour toward the shoulder of the highway，then slipping down asteep tenfoot embankment(路堤) toward the cold LoganRiver.As it hit the water，the car tipped toward thepassenger side，hesitated，and then rolled onto its roofand sank into the river.Then，Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids.Mia had been right next to him in the front seat；now，in the blackness，he couldn't find her.“I thought，if I don't get out，maybe none of us is going to get out.”Andersen untied his seat belt，swam through a brokenwindow，and gasped for air at the surface.That's when hesaw a group of men，about ten in all，appear at the top of the embankment.One after another，they jumped into thewater，shouting,“Who else is in the car？”Andersen saysrespectfully,“It was like the sight of angels.”【语篇导读】Andersen的车不幸落入冰冷的河水中，一群素昧平生的人对车里的人展开了一场生死营救……1．Which word can best describe the feelings of most drivers when driving on this slope?A．Nervous.

2019届高考英语二轮复习必刷题型：(6)阅读理解(六)(含解析)

阅读理解（六）1、Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids. According to a new survey(调查)by the National Sleep Foundation, 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights, even though they have to get up early. Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7- to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day, and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school.How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age. Babies need a lot of rest; most of them sleep about 18 hours a day! Adults need about eight hours. For most school-age children, ten hours is ideal(理想的). But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10- to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours. And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV."More children are going to bed with TVs on, and there are more opportunities(机会)to stay awake, with more homework, the Internet and the phone," says Dr. Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School. She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep. Other experts say part of the problem is chemical. Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teen agers’ bodies develop adult characteristics, but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm.Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers, some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to. Three years ago, schools in Edina, Minnesota, changed the start time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am. Students, parents and teachers are pleased with the results.1.What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on?A.American kids' sleeping habits.B.Teenagers' sleep-related diseases.C.Activities to prevent sleeplessness.D.Learning problems and lack of sleep.2.How many hours of sleep do 11-year-olds need every day?A.7 hours.B.8 hours.C.10 hours.D.18 hours.3.Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon?A.They are affected by certain body chemicals.B.They tend to do things that excite them.C.They follow their parents' examples.D.They don't need to go to school early.2、Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit make s sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台) . The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientistslike Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers' argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists don't dispute(质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.1.What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A.Help increase grocery sales.B.Recycle the waste material.C.Stop things falling off trucks.D.Argue for the use of plastic bags.2.What does the word “headwinds”in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Bans on plastic bags.B.Effects of city development.C.Headaches caused by garbage.D.Plastic bags hung in trees.3.What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?A.They are quite expensive.B.Replacing them can be difficult.C.They are less strong than plastic bags.D.Producing them requires more energy.4.What is the best title for the text?A.Plastic, Paper or NeitherB.Industry, Pollution and EnvironmentC.Recycle or Throw AwayD.Garbage Collection and Waste Control3、Love, success, happiness, family and freedom——how important are these values to you?

Right now I’m a web designer.Q: What are your great memories?A: My parents used to take us to hunt birds, climb trees, and play in the fields. For me it was like a holiday because we were going to have fun all day long. Those are my great memories.Q: Does your childhood mean a lot to you?A: Yes. As life was very hard, I used to work to help bring money in for the family. I spent my childhood working, with responsibilities beyond my age. However, it taught me to deal with problems all alone.

That’s our way. But I am working in another city. My only contact with my parents now is through the phone, but I hate using it. It filters(过滤) out your emotion and leaves your voice only.

Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was "not athletic".The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!"By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a "marathon winner".1.A month before the marathon, the author ____________.A.was well trainedB.felt scaredC.made up his mind to runD.lost hope2.Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A.To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B.To amuse the readers with a funny story.C.To show he was not talented in sports.D.To share a precious memory.3.How was the author’s first marathon?A.He made it.B.He quit halfway.C.He got the first prize.D.He walked to the end.4.What does the story mainly tell us?A.A man owes his success to his family support.B.A winner is one with a great effort of will.C.Failure is the mother of success.D.One is never too old to learn.5、Louis Armstrong had two famous nicknames .Some people called him Bagamo.They said his mouth looked likea large bag.Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence on the world of music.Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musicians.Jazz was invented in the city a few years before his birth.Armstrong often said, “Jazz and I grew up together.” Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet (短号) at a boy’s home.In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician.He played in parades, clubs, and on the steamboats that traveled on the Mississippi River.At that time, New Orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musicians.Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.In 1922 he went to Chicago.There, the tale of Louis Armstrong begins.From then until the end of his life, Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went.Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song.His cornet playing had a deep humanity (仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say, “Listening to Pops just makes you f eel good all over.” He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best-known and most admired people in the world.His death, on July 6,1971, was headline news around the world.1.Armstrong was called Pops because he ______.A.looked like a musicianB.was a musician of much influenceC.showed an interest in musicD.traveled to play modern music2.The third paragraph is developed ______.A.by spaceB.by examplesC.by timeD.by comparison3.Which statement about Armstrong is true?A.His tale begins in New Orleans.B.He was born before jazz was invented.C.His music was popular with his listeners.D.He learned popular music at a boy’s home.4.Which would be the best title for the text?A.The Invention of the Jazz Music.B.The Father of the Jazz Style.C.The Making of a Musician.D.The Spread of Popular Music.6、Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists.

Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory.

The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities(无限).“From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration(合作) with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.1.Which of the following best describe Dali according to Paragraph 1?A.Optimistic.B.Productive.C.Generous.D.Traditional.2.What is Dali’s The Persistence of Memory considered to be?A.One of his masterworks.B.A successful screen adaptation.C.An artistic creation for the stage.D.One of the beat TV programmes.3.How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?A.By popularity.B.By importance.C.By size and shape.D.By time and subject.4.What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?A.Artworks.B.Projects.C.Donations.D.Documents.7、Wherever she goes, Molly leaves her marks. Without saying a word, she speaks to people with her kind eyes. Even when she walks away, she leaves an impression. Molly’s mark is a smile, stamped into the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false leg.A few years ago, Molly was badly attacked by a dog. The dog bit all four Molly’s legs and left large cuts on her face. Molly’s owner, Kate Harris, took her to an animal hospital. Doctors there were able to save Molly’s life, but soon one of her legs became very infected.At first, doctors thought Molly would have to be put to sleep. But Molly changed their minds. This pony, doctors noticed, shifted her weight, and rested her good legs from time to time. Doctors knew that Molly had amazing intelligence, and that she wanted to live.Several doctors operated on Molly, and removed her infected leg. A false leg was made for her. The leg was a hollow cast with a pole at the bottom for balance. Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of the leg. This horseshoe she had had a stamp of a smiling face in it!After the operation, Molly walked around on all four legs, as if nothing had ever happened to her! Now, with every step she takes, she stamps a smile in the dirt. But she leaves her mark in other ways, too.Kate Harris took Molly to the false leg center. There were children there who, like Molly, had artificial arms or legs. They were amazed to see a pony with a false leg. Molly made them smile and gave them hope.

Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had read carefully, hoping to hide myself. "What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. lt seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington.Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before.As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America.I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant.I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip(掷) a coin. Heads- the commander,and tails —the peanuts guy.Ah! Tails,my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly class, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear,“My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful.Heartbroken but fearless,I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster's office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my opinion to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!1.What did the author’s classmates think about his report?A.Controversial.B.Ridiculous.C.Boring.D.Puzzling.2.Why was the author confused about the task?A.He was unfamiliar with American history.B.He followed the advice and flipped a coin.C.He forgot his teacher’s instructions.D.He was not familiar with the new school.3.The underlined word "burning" in Para.3 probably means ________.A.annoyedB.ashamedC.readyD.eager4.In the end, the author turned things around __________.A.by redoing his taskB.through his own effortsC.with the help of his grandfatherD.under the guidance of his headmaster答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：1.A; 2.C; 3.B解析：1.细节理解题。

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.___16___ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it.

2019高考英语二轮复习阅读理解寒假训练6 含答案

阅读理解训练（6）ASince I started working part-time at a grocery store, I have learned that a customer is more than someone who buys things. To me, a customer is a person whose memory fails entirely once he or she starts to push a shopping cart(车). One of the first things customers forget is how to count. There is no other way to explain how so many people get in their express line, which is clearly marked 15 items(件) or less, with 20, 25 or even a cart load of items.Customers also forget why they came to the store in the first place. Just as I finish ringing up an order, a customer will say, “ Oops, I forgot to pick up a fresh loaf of bread. I hope you don’t mind waiting, while I go to get it.”Five minutes later, he’s back with the bread, a bottle of milk, and t hree rolls of paper towels. What is stranger is that customers also seem to forget that they have to pay for their groceries. Instead of writing a check or looking for a credit card while I am ringing up the groceries, a customer will wait until I announce the total. Then, in surprise, she says , “ Oh no, what did I do with my check book?” After 5 minutes of digging through her purse, she borrows my pen because she has forgotten hers. But I have to tolerate customers because they pay my salary, and that’s something I can’t afford to forget.21. What does the author say about his customers?A .They can not count numbers.B. They sometimes jump the queue.C. They don’t know how to express themselves.D. They behave as if their memories had totally failed.22.

Coming out in May 2013, the game was free to download and required players to tap the screen to keep the bird in flight.

The game is no longer a available through online stores, but it still works on phones that had previously downloads it. However, some fans expressed their reliefthat the game was gone.

It changes the brain, which could bring about cognitiveadvances as well," said Yunxin Wang of Beijing Normal University. “Our results suggest it’s better to start musical training before seven, which agrees with what most piano teachers recommend,” she added. She hoped the results might help parents decide when was the best for their children to learn an instrument.The brain’s cortex(皮层) plays a leading role in one’s abilities, from thought and language to memory and attention. The area matures rapidly in the early years of life, and its development could be affected more if a person starts musical training before it fully matures.Wang studied 48 Chinese students aged between 19 and 21 who had received formal music training for at least a year sometime between the ages of 3 and 15. Each had a scan to measure the thickness of the brain’s cortex.After considering sex and the number of years spent having music lessons, Wang found that musical training that started before seven appeared to thicken areas of the brain involved in language skills and executive function, which is a person’s ability to plan and accomplish tasks.“We’re not sure why these changes occur, but a reasonable explanation is that early starters might depend more on hearing clues(线索) when learning music, since it might be more difficult for younger children to read music,” Wang said.32. According to the researchers, musical training before the age of seven can _______________.A. contribute to future work.B. create a successful lifeC. develop all-round abilitiesD. deal with puzzling problem33. When conducting the research with the students, Wang __________.A. tested their language abilitiesB. watched their musical performancesC. focused on school behavior and achievementsD. measured the thickness of the brain’s cortex34.

You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources (来源), as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills (风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground when electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coaland gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.风能早在公元前七世纪就开始被人们用风车所利用，当人们发明了电以后，风能被用来发电，但随着电旳广泛使用，风车逐渐不被人们使用了.而进入二十世纪七十年代后，人们又逐渐认识到了风能旳优势.5．From the text we know that windmills ________.A. were invented by European armiesB. have a history of more than 2,800 yearsC. used to supply power to radio in remote areasD. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered答案：C.细节理解题.由第一段最后两句话可知风车首先是在古代伊朗被使用，故排除A 项；公元前七世纪到现在应是不足2800年，故排除B项；由第二段当中旳第二、三句话可以排除D项，同时也能知道C项是正确旳.6．What was a new use for wind power in the late l9th century?A.

The advantages of wind power.B. The design of wind power plants.C. The worldwide movement to save energy.D. The global trend towards producing power from wind.答案：D.推理判断题.文章最后一句话“如今，出现了一个全球化旳运动，要通过风能旳利用来提供越来越多旳电力”，表明作者会就这个话题继续展开.C(·北京卷，C)Students and Technology in the ClassroomI love my Blackberry—it's my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer，as it holds all of my writing and this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these device(设备) and truly communicate with others.On occasion，I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom，I have a rule—no laptops, iPads, phones, students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There's a bit of truth to students assume that I am anti-technology. There's no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between course material and the class discussion.I've been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change，I'm sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.本文是一篇议论文.作者是一位老师，非常喜欢高科技产品，但是为了让他旳学生在课堂上讨论历史话题、互相交流观点，他规定在课堂上学生不允许使用手提电脑、iPads及电话.刚开始学生不能理解，但是后来在对学生旳学习评估中，学生对这一方法还是非常满意旳.9．Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with ________.A. the course materialB. others' misuse of technologyC. discussion topicsD. the author's class regulations答案：D.细节理解题.由第二段旳“When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy .”可知D项正确.10．The underlined word “engage ”in probably means ________.A. exploreB. acceptC. changeD. reject答案： A.词义猜测题.根据第四段旳“I want students to dig deep within themselves fo r inspiration and ideas.”可知作者让学生们进行深切旳交流，目旳是让学生们获得激励和一些观点，故A项explore“探索”更为接近；accept “接受”；change“改变”；reject “拒绝”.11．According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ________.A. keep students from doing independent thinkingB. encourage students to have in-depth conversationsC. help students to better understand complex themesD. affect students' concentration on course evaluation答案： A.推理判断题.由第四段旳“Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas .”可知在教室内使用高科技产品使学生们对于外界信息过于依赖，不能独立思考.12．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ________.A. is quite stubbornB. will give up teaching historyC. will change his teaching plan soonD. values technology-free dialogues in his class答案：D.推理判断题.由最后一段旳最后一句话可知作者对自己旳不使用高科技产品让学生进行对话旳方法是满意旳.D(·陕西卷，A)这是一则关于“PALACE THEATRE & OPERA HOUSE”旳广告.介绍“Live Card”与“Get it together团购”旳好处以及预定方式.13．If you want to join Live Card to save money on tickets, you can call________.A．0844 847 2484 B．0800 587 5007C．0844 499 6699 D．0161 245 6609答案：C.细节理解题.根据Live Card一栏最后一句Call 0844 499 6699 to join Live Card today 可知C项正确.14．How can you pay for a ticket when you book by post?A．By visiting the website of a post office.B．By going to your local bank in person.C．By enclosing your Live Card in an envelope.D．By providing your credit card information.答案：D.细节理解题.细读By post一栏可以排除A、B、C三项，D项“提供个人信用卡信息”与该栏中“enclosing (附寄)．..your credit details”相对应.15．What benefit can group bookers enjoy according to the text?A．Delayed payment for tickets. B．Invitations to opening nights.C．Reduced booking fees by phone. D．Generous discounts on tickets.答案：A.推理判断题.根据文中对于“团体预购”旳介绍可知，团购者可以享受以下好处：免费打预订电话、不拿预订费、被邀请参加宴会、先预定后付款旳项目.所以A项正确.E(·江西卷，D) Why should mankind explore space Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential(潜在旳) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even nonstick pans and mirrored sunglasses are byproducts(副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.本文是一篇议论文，向我们阐述了人类进行太空探索旳原因.人类旳基因构成决定了人类探索其他领域包括太空旳能力.人类探索太空可能暂时没有多大用处，但是在将来这可能会帮助人类生存下去.16．Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?A．To express his doubts. B．To compare different ideas.C．To introduce points for discussion. D．To describe the conditions on Earth.答案：C.推理判断题.作者在第一段提出问题目旳是引出下面要讨论旳话题.17．What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?A．Humans are nature-born to do so.B．Humans have the tendency to fight.C．Humans may find new sources of food.D．Humans don't like to stay in the same place.答案：A.细节理解题.根据第二段旳第一句可知人类探索太空旳原因是其基因旳构成.18．The underlined word “spin-offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ________.A．survival chances B．potential resourcesC．unexpected benefits D．physical possessions答案：C.词义猜测题.后面所说旳“improvements in ear thquake prediction，in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems”可知此处旳划线短语意为“益处，好处”.19．What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?A．Our genetic makeup. B．Resources on the earth.C．The adaptive ability of humans. D．By-products in space exploration.答案：C.细节理解题.根据最后一段旳第一句话可知，人类旳适应能力会让人类在其他星球生存下去.20．Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?A．Space exploration has created many wonders.B．Space exploration provides the best value for money.C．Space exploration can benefit science and technology.D．Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.答案：D.主旨大意题.A、B两项可以容易地排除.全文主要讲旳是太空探索对帮助人类生存旳益处，而不是对科技旳益处.。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校阅读理解九月选练（6）AIf you didn't look at them, they weren't there, right? On seeing those in rags on the corner, I only wanted the light to turn green fast enough so that I wouldn't have to keep pretending not to see them.Then, one day, as I was holding the hand of my best friend Jane who was young but dying of breast cancer, she told me that she made every moment count by slowing down and by seeing everything . I held her hand for five years and then she passed away. She did teach me something. It took a while for her words to really sink in. I can be a slow learner.I started by seeing everything, and focused on their presence. One day I saw a Vietnam veteran(老兵). I asked him what would make his day.

After our meal together, I asked him if there was anything else that would make his life a bit easier."A new pair of socks, "he said.Socks, really? I actually happened to be wearing a nice pair of wool hiking socks at that very moment. I told him that I wanted to give him the pair I was wearing if he would accept it. Finally he agreed. We sat down on a bench, and he started to first take off his boots, and then remove the black socks that had once been white off his feet. I think a layer or two of skin might have come off with them. Taking his new pair of socks, he held the socks up to his cheeks and said they were warm and smelled as good as me, pools of tears in his eyes.Such a simple luxury (奢侈品) I used to take for granted.

We all have had the experience of taking great delight in the beauty and innocence of fairytales．May it be Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty．．．Fairytale is a word which cannot be new to us. But have you ever travelled ages back to the earliest of times and uncovered the fascinating facts about these stories?The history of the fairytale is particularly difficult to track．The oral tradition of the fairytale came long before the written page．The oldest known fairytales date back to ancient Egypt around 1300B.C.and now, after travelling through various periods of time, they have grown and matured in various aspects and have become the most popular forms of stories for young childrenThe characters and themes of fairytales are simple and similar: Princesses and goose girls, youngest sons and brave princes, wicked, stepmothers, fairy godmothers, talking animals, glass mountains, witches, castles and the like. The tale goes into an unreal world and in this never-never land our heroes kill the enemy, succeed to kingdoms and marry the ever beautiful princesses. W. H Auden said, “The way to read a fairytale is to throw yourself in.” It is very true indeed or you will not be able to feel the ecstasy of reading a fairytale. So whenever you read a fairytale, imagine you are the hero/heroine and you will be carried to a mysterious land where everything will be as you want. Every child believes in fairies（仙女), dragons, etc. Yet, as we grow up we fail to believe in these fantasy-based characters．Fairytales are told to children when they are young. This is very essential indeed, for if in the beginning of our lives, our minds are touched by the beauty, innocence and the morals in these tales, we will be able to obtain the optimistic side of happenings．In life, sometimes, believing in such mystics can lead to great happiness．Well, I don’t know about you, but I do believe in fairies…and who knows I may someday meet one because, after all, believing is just the beginning! And as J.M. Barries said, “When you say I don’t believe in fairies, a fairy somewhere drops dead.” And I wouldn’t want anyone dea d on my account, would you?5．In Paragraph 1, the writer mentioned Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty to __A．tell the beauty and innocence of the fairytalesB．present us the fascinating facts behind themC．show us that fairytales are something we are familiar withD．describe his feeling towards fairytales6．The underlined word '"ecstasy" in Paragraph 3 probably means “___”A．delight B．innocenceC．mystery D．the optimistic side7．Why is it important to tell the fairytales to the children when young?A．Because they can gain great happiness．B．Because it is easier for the children to throw themselves in the roleC．Because they tend to have wild imaginationD．Because when they see the magic in the tales in the beginning, they can face the future8．How do you understand the sentence in the last paragraph "When you say I don't believe in fairies, a fairy somewhere drops dead.” ?A．If you don’t believe in the tales, the fairy will be really sad．B．We need the beauty, innocence, and moral of the fairytales to stay optimistic．C．If nobody believes in us, we will be heartbroken．D．The writer is just trying to be humorous by saying this．参考答案5-8 CADBCItalians were reminded to slow down and relax on World Slow Day, an annual event celebrating life's simple pleasures."Let's take this day to stop and think about all the things we miss while we're rushing through our lives," said Bruno Contigiani, the President of the Art of Living Slowly Association. Contigiani, 62, a one-time high-powered manager, is now an ambassador for the slow life movement around the world. He started the first World Slow Day in 2007 to encourage the values of living and working at a more natural pace, and to make people rethink their daily lifestyle.Contigiani's association suggests "14 commandments (诫条) " for living better, such as waking up five minutes earlier to enjoy breakfast without rushing. Others include walking whenever possible, and reading in the evenings instead of watching television.This year, Contigiani left Italy where the event has spread around the country for Shanghai, one of the fastest moving cities in the world. The slow-living supporter said he wandered around the busiest streets of the commercial center for an entire afternoon, inviting people to "slow down". "Among the ‘14 commandments’, the one about waking up five minutes earlier was the most popular by far, " Contigiani said.Back in Italy, the now well-known event hosts a lot of activities, such as reminding people to stop and smell the roses. In central Milan you would probably be fined if you walk too fast. In parks and public spaces, free yoga and Tai Chi (太极拳) lessons are important parts of the events.Italian farmers' union noted that Italians spent less and less timepreparing meals, a habit connected to rising levels of obesity（肥胖）. Therefore, the group said World Slow Day was a good opportunity to remind Italians to take extra time at meals in particular.World Slow Day is by now an international event. A total of 90 “Slow Cities" in 11 countries inspired by the “live well" philosophy are supporting the day.9. What's the best title of the text?A. Slow Life SupportersB. Lifestyle of ItalyC. World Slow DayD. Living Well10. World Slow Day is intended to .A. tell people to walk slowlyB. encourage people to enjoy pleasant thingsC. advise people to adjust to modern lifestyleD. remind people to live and work at a natural pace11. Which of the following goes against the "commandments"?A. Walking whenever possible.B. Slowing down to smell flowers.C. Watching TV in the evenings instead of reading.D. Waking up five minutes earlier to enjoy breakfast.12. In which section of a newspaper is the text probably put?A. Advertisement.B. Culture.C. Business.D. Entertainment.参考答案9-12 CDCBDScientists fear rising energy bills may lead to an increase in obesity （肥胖） after discovering a link between poorly-heated homes and higher body -fat．Researchers from the University of Stirling’s Behavioural Science Centre set out to explore claims that warm indoor temperatures have contributed to rising obesity levels in winter．Instead, the team found that people who live in well-heated homes are more likely to have low body mass index （体重指数） levels while those who keep their heating turned down or off tend to be heavier．Dr Michael Daly, behavioral scientist and senior lecturer, said: "We set out to investigate the scientific claims that cooler indoor temperatures help us maintain a healthy weight by pushing our bodies to use up more energy. In fact, the research suggests people may eat less and burn more energy when in a warmer indoor environment．The 13-year study, published in the journal Obesity, involved more than 100,000 adults across England．Researchers found reduced weight levels among people living in homes heated to above 23°C（73F）, which involved about 15,000 of the households studied．Dr Daly said: "As national gas bills continue to rise faster than therate of inflation, this research suggests the obesity could worsen where heating is turned down below comfortable levels or off for long periods to cut costs．"This is not just about people who live in well-heated homes being in the financial position to afford more expensive low-calorie foods, exercise classes and sporting activities, and therefore finding it easier to maintain a low BMI level．The study took age, sex, social class and other factors into account．"The comfortable temperature of 20°C -23°C is where we feel comfortable in our clothes and are neither hot nor cold．At temperatures above this, we use more energy and we eat less because our appetite is affected．"13. The findings of the research can be described as ___．A．horrible B．surprisingC．funny D．encouragingAccording to the passage, with rising gas bills, people may turn down or off their heating to______.A．stay in shape B．maintain a low BMI level C．save money D．avoid eating more15.

2019高考英语二轮阅读理解四月训练6及解析

2019高考英语二轮阅读理解（四月）训练（6）及解析Dear Malia and Sasha,I know that you've both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have. But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn't make up for all the time we've been apart. I know how much I've missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me—about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn't seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that's why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential—schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them. I want them to have the chance to go to college—even if their parents aren't rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity.I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you'll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer. And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the divides of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other.Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our country—but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe. And I want every child tounderstand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free—that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great responsibility.That was the lesson your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for equality because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something.She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better—and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us. It's a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be.I hope both of you will take up that work, righting the wrongs that you see and working to give others the chances you've had. Not just because you have an obligation to give something back to this country that has given our family so much—although you do have that obligation. But because you have an obligation to yourself. Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential.These are the things I want for you—to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have. That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure.I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House.Love, Dad15.

Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts practiced in the British Isles(英伦诸岛). Although thatch has always been used for cottage and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches tooThatching is a solitary (独立旳) craft, which often runs in families. The craft of thatching as it is practiced today has changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, maintaining and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter.In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People in developing countries are often reluctant to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings. However, they may lack the money to allow them to import the necessary materials.Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months. Thatch which has been done the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years, and is an effective defiance against the heat.41. Which of the following remains a unique feature against the heat_______.A) Narrow streets lined with pink or white houses.B) Rolling hills with pretty farm buildings.C) Cottages with thatched roofs.D) Churches with cottages around them.42. What do we know about thatching as a craft?A. It is a collective activity.B. It is practised on farms all over England.C. It is quite different from what it used to be.D. It is in most cases handed down among family members.43. Thatched houses are still preferred became of .A) their style and comfort B) their durabilityC) their easy maintenance D) their cheap and ready-made materials44. People in developing countries also live under thatch because .A) thatched cottages are a big tourist attractionB) thatched roof houses are the cheapestC) thatch is an effective defense against the heatD) they like thatched houses better than other buildings45. We can learn from the passage that .A) thatched cottages in England have been passed down from ancient times.B)thatching is a building craft first created by the English people.C) the English people have a special liking for thatched houses.D) most thatched cottage in England are located on hillsides.参考答案41-45CDABC******************************************************结束BPresident Coolidge’s statement, “The business of America is business,” still points to an important truth today—that business institutions have more prestige (威望) in American society than any other kind of organization, including the government. Why do business institutions possess this great prestige?One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business institutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself, it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected.Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly(垄断) of power. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Where many businesses compete for the customers’ dollar, they cannot afford t o treat them like inferiors or slaves.A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because business is competitive, many Americans believe that it is more supportiveof freedom than government, even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not. Many Americans believe, then, that competition is as important, or even more important, than democracy in preserving freedom.Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity. Competition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternative to social rank based on family background. Business is therefore viewed as and expression of the idea of equality of opportunity rather than the aristocratic(贵族旳)idea of inherited privilege.46. The statement “The business of America is business” probably means“________”.A) The business institutions in America are concerned with commerceB) Business problems are of great importance to the American governmentC) Business is of primary concern to AmericansD) America is a great power in world business47. Americans believe that they can realize their personal values onlyA) when given equality of opportunity B) through doing businessC) by protecting their individual freedom D) by way of competition48. Who can benefit from business competition?A) Honest businessmen.B) Both businessmen and their customers.C) People with ideals of equality and freedomD) Both business institutions and government.49. Government is believed to differ strikingly from business in that government is characterized by ________.A. its absolute control of powerB) its function in preserving personal freedomC) its role in protecting basic American valuesD) its democratic way of exercising leadership50. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes .A) Americans are more ambitious than people in other countriesB) in many countries success often depends on one’s social statusC) American businesses are more democratic than those in other countriesD) businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in America参考答案46-50 CDBAB***************************************************结束CThe appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects. Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement. For example, some advertisers appealed to people’s desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage. Some of the products work.. Others are worthless and a waste of consumers’ money.Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading. A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to dieters (节食者) with the message that there were fewer calories (热量单位，大卡) in every slice. It turned out that the bread was not dietetic (适合于节食旳), but just regular bread. There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin, but there were the same number of calories in every loaf.On the positive side, emotional appeals may respond to a consumer’s real concerns. Consider fire insurance. Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss. But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people. If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as the message in the ads, they will benefit from the advertising.Each consumer must evaluate her or his own situation. Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it? Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.51. Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by ________.A. stressing their high qualityB. convincing him of their low priceC. maintaining a balance between quality and priceD. appealing to his buying motives52. The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that ________.A. thin slices of bread could contain more caloriesB. the loaf was cut into regular slicesC. the bread was not genuine breadD. the total number of calories in the loaf remained the same53. The passage tells us that _________.A. sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needsB.advertisements occasionally force consumers into buying things they don’t needC. the buying motives of consumers are controlled by advertisementsD. fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment54. It can be inferred from the passage that a smart consumer should ________.A. think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisementsB. guard against the deceiving nature of advertisementsC. be familiar with various advertising strategiesD. avoid buying products that have strong emotional appeal55. The passage is mainly about _________.A. how to make a wise buying decisionB. ways to protect the interests of the consumerC. the positive and negative aspects of advertisingD. the function of advertisements in promoting sales参考答案51-55 DDAAC**************************************************结束。

Wilderness“In wilderness (荒野) is the preservation of the world. ” This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more thananything else, they speak of the nature that many peoplevalue most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation (开发) brings to such landscapes (景观) is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need—the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr. Sauven, these “ecosystem services”far outweigh thegains from exploitation.I look forward to seeing these views taken further, and totheir being challenged by the other participants. Onechallenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.1. John Sauven holds that .A. many people value nature too muchB. exploitation of wildernesses is harmfulC. wildernesses provide humans with necessitiesD. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong2. What is the main idea of Para. 3?A. The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.B. Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials.C. Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation.D. All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.3. What is the author’s attitude towards this debate?A. Objective.B. Disapproving.C. Sceptical.D. Optimistic.4.

阅读理解提升练(六)A(2018·浙江宁波诺丁汉大学附属中学高三下学期期中)In the first days of the new year,a photo from Rio’s traditional fireworks show on Copacabana Beach has spread like wildfire on Brazilian social networks—a shot of a little boy,alone,wading into the water,separated from the joyful crowd celebrating and taking pictures behind him.Arms crossed,he stares up wide-eyed and open-mouthed at the fireworks in the sky.Despite the absence of any information about the child other than his age 9,the image Lucas Landau shot for Reuters news agency has sparked tens of thousands of shares and comments on social media,newspaper articles,blog posts and a national debate about race,class and inequality.To some,it’s just a photo of a young black boy attracted by the spectacular New Yea r’s Eve fireworks.People need to stop thinking that all black boys,without shirts on,are abandoned,sad,alone and unhappy.To others,the image is emblematic of Brazil’s severe inequality.About half of Brazil’s population of 200 million identify as mixed-race/black,second only to Nigeria.But black and mixed-raced Brazilians are minor in academia,politics and leadership roles.Less than 10 percent of Brazil’s Congress is black,and just 18 percent of leadership roles are held by Afro-Brazilians.For Luiz Augusto Campos,a sociologist at Rio State University,the wide-ranging interpretations of the photo,as well as the explosive debate it generated,represents a changing tide for Afro-Brazilians.“The fact that it’s become so problematic is a reflection of a complex t ransition in terms of race in Brazil,” he said,adding that 20 or 30 years ago,the photo would have stirred few or no concerns about whether it strengthened negative stereotypes (刻板印象).“These changes are still relatively small in Brazil,but they have the l ong-term objective of dissociating the ideas of blackness and poverty,” Campos said.1.What can we learn from the passage?A.The boy’s age is mentioned in the news.B.The debate the image causes worsens the severe inequality.C.Afro-Brazilians are mistreated because they are in the minority.D.The boy in the photo has been abandoned and needs urgent help.2.Which word can be used to replace the underlined word “emblematic”?A.Problematic.B.Representative.C.Objective.D.Significant.3.What problem does the photo reflect according to this passage?A.The racial inequality in Brazil.B.The social status of the Afro-Brazilians.C.The Afro-Brazilians’ fighting for rights.D.The stereotype to associate or link blackness with poverty in Brazil.BIndia now leads the world in smartphone growth.It saw a 55% increase in the number of smartphones in 2014.The number of Web users increased by 37%.Smartphones were the source of 65% of its Internet traffic and 41% of its e-commerce,according to a report by the analyst Mary Meeker,titled “Internet Trends 2015”.India’s Internet boom has started.Within three to four years,almost every adult in India will own a smartphone.They will be used to order goods,read news,monitor crop growth and so on.Indian adults will be very interested in these devices just as young Americans are.87% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 who own smartphones say they never separate from these:“My smartphone never leaves my side.” Four out of five say that the first thing they do on waking is to reach for their smartphones.And three fifths believe that in the next five years everything will be done on mobile devices.In the business world,the rise of mobile platforms is dramatically transforming many industries all over the world.What Indian software developers have to do isstart thinking about solutions to old problems by using all the features of these new devices.They need to take advantage of the unique properties of smartphones and tablets.As Indian software developers and enterprises master the smartphone,they will be able to export their solutions to the rest of the world.This will make possible a new tech revolution that is greater than what created India’s IT industry in the 1980s and 1990s.We can expect the rapid transformat ion of India when a billion people become connected and have equal access to information and services.4.Loads of numbers are used in Paragraph 1 to show .A.India’s smartphones increase most rapidly in the worldB.India has the most advanced IT industry in the worldC.India will be a superpower pretty soonD.India will export new smartphones to the rest of the world5.What will most young Americans do first the moment they wake up?A.Read news.B.Shop online.C.Get their smartphones.D.Check e-mails.6.Which can be the best title of the text?A.More people,more smartphonesB.No dream,every Indian owns a smartphoneC.At hand,India’s next tech revolutionD.A small smartphone,a big useCWhenever the word “hero” comes to me,I immediately think of threeHs:honourable,hard-working,and happy.When I think more about this word,I picture someone who has accomplished good things for people and tries to do the rightthing.Hattie Elizabeth Alexander is one person whom I find to be very heroic.Hattie was born in Baltimore,Maryland on April 5,1901.During her time at College she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Bacteriology and Physiology.These were just the first steps towards what she was finally going to be remembered for.After college Hattie attended the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and received her medical degree.After her education,she pursued her career,and after much time and hard work,she drastically reduced the number of infants (幼儿) dying from meningitis (脑膜炎).Hattie was very dedicated to her work and helped as many locations as shecould.Spending substantial (大量的) time in the labouratory,Hattie successfully developed a cure against the disease,which decreased the death rate to 20 per cent.At the same time,she was also a teacher working with Columbia University.She was a caring lady interested in other people’s lives.When she was teaching at Columbia University,other members would talk to her about students that were failing their classes,and somehow Hattie could always find convincing reasons as to why they

He says there is a direct causal relationship between a person getting fat and being followedin weight gain by a friend.The researchers also considered the effect of where people lived in relation to each other. James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego, was the other lead investigator. He says a friend who lives a few hundred kilometers away has as much influence as one in the same neighborhood.
