Spanish explorers called them Las Encantadas, the Enchanted Isles, and Charles Darwin used his studies of the islands as the foundation for his theory of natural selection. The Galapagos are among the world's most important scientific treasures, a group of volcanic islands surrounded by deserted beaches and inhabited by unique varieties of giant tortoise, lizards, and birds.Yet life on this United Nations world heritage site has turned sour. Battles have broken out between fishermen and conservationists. Ecuador, which owns the islands, has sent a naval patrol (海军巡逻队) to put down disturbances.The controversial director of the Galapagos National Park—which controls 97 percent of Galapagos land and the reserve extending to 40 miles offshore—has been fired, while an air of uneasy tension hangs over the islands, as the islanders prepare for election when they pick their representatives in Ecuador’s national assembly.“It’s a very tense situation,” said Leonor Stjepic, director of the London-based Galapagos Conservation Trust, which raises money to help projects on the islands. “We are watching it with concern.”The violence has been triggered by an alarming growth in the islands’ population. Puerto Ayora, on Santa Cruz island, housed just 45 inhabitants in the 50s. Today there are more than 10,000, while the islands' total population is more than 19,000 and growing by 6 percent a year, despite recently introduced a law to limit waves of immigrants fleeing the poor areas of Ecuador for a life “in paradise (天堂)”. On top of this, more than 100,000 tourists visit the islands every year. Such numbers have put the islands, special ecology under intense pressure. Conservationists backed by the Ecuador government, have replied by exercising strict controls to protect the islands* iguanas, blue-footed boobies, and gianttortoises.These moves have angered many local people, however. They want to exploit (开发利用) the islands’ waters and catch its protected species of sharks, lobsters and sea cucumbers, which can fetch high prices in Japan and South Korea.Angry fishermen surrounded the Charles Darwin research station on Santa Cruz last February, threatened to kill Lonesome George—the last surviving member of the Pinta Island species of the Galapagos giant tortoise.The situation got improved after the Ecuador government made concessions (让步) by increasing fishing quotas (配额), which angered conservation ists. “It is tragic, the short-term gain of a few fishermen versus the long-term survival of the Galapagos,” said John McCosker of the California Academy of Sciences. “They are killing the golden goose.”Then, the Ecuador government appointed Fausto Cepeda as the national park's new director, a post that has become a political football for the mainland government. There have been nine directors in the past 18 months.This appointment was particularly controversial, however. Cepeda was known to have close ties with the fishing industry, and the rangers (管理员),who run the national park and reserve, rebelled.More than 300 staged a sit-in at the park’s headquarters and prevented Cepeda from taking up his post. A battle broke out, and at least two people suffered serious injuries. Eventually, Cepeda—with the fishermen’s help- entered the park. “I am in office, i am in control. And I am trying to lower the tension,” he announced. The Ecuador government took no chances, and sent a patrol boat to maintain the peace. A few days later, Ecuador Environment Minister Fabian Valdivicso met representatives of rangers. After discussions, he told newspapers that he had decided to remove Cepeda from the post.However, as the population continues to rise, the long-term pressures on the islands are serious and will not disappear that easily.“We have to balance its special environment with the needs of local people. In that sense, it is a microcosm (缩影) for all the other threatened parts of theworld. So getting it right here is going to be a very, very important trick to pull off,” said Stjepic.1、What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．The island’s swelling population.B．The law to limit waves of immigrants.C．A life in paradise.D．The touri sts’ visiting the islands every year.2、How significant were the islands for Charles Darwin?A．He based his theory on his studies there.B．He built the Charles Darwin research center there.C．He advocated the balance between ecology and people there.D．He found the last surviving giant tortoise there.3、What is the primary contributing factor to the conflict between conservationists and fishermen?A．The dismissal of the previous director of the Galapagos National Park.B．The exploitation of the islands.C．The government's support of Galapagos Conservation Trust.D．Cepeda’s close tie with the fishing industry.4、We can learn from the passage that _______.A．the projects of Galapagos Conservation Trust on the islands are profitable B．conservationists get angry when fishermen are killing a gooseC．politicians from the mainland government play football on the islandsD．the government is trying to ease the tension5、In Paragraph 13, what does the author mean by “The Ecuador government took no chances”?A．The government did not seize opportunities.B．The government made no compromises.C．The government did not run risks.D．The government shrank from responsibilities.【参考答案】1---5、AABDC阅读理解练习阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校四川省成都市2016高考英语阅读理解二轮基础训练80集连载（63）【2015高考复习】阅读理解For many people，volunteering is a way of life.Holidays are the time of the year that more people are in a giving mood.Homeless shelters，children’s hospitals，and nursing homes are excellent places to give of one’s time.Volunteering in Homeless SheltersThere is a homeless directory online that anyone can easily access to find the closest homeless shelter to their home.According to the homeless shelter directory，currently there are 3,233 shelters in the US，so it is not difficult to find a shelter.Helping to serve food，picking up donations of food，preparing meals，and cleaning up are things that one can do to help at a homeless shelter.Volunteering in Children’s HospitalsEvery child needs comfort and joy，especially during the holiday seasons.By visiting sick children in hospitals，an individual provides helping hands by supplementing the services usually done by the hospital staff.Personalizing the hospital experience adds to the comfort and happiness of the children and their families.Volunteers provide help，and positive interactions (相互交流) which enhance the patient’s quality of care.Help is needed almost everywhere in a hospital；from the lobby，parking lot，cafeteria，to admitting，helping with the gift cart，and even reading to children in the waiting rooms or their hospital rooms. Volunteering in Nursing HomesAccording to the National Center for Health Statistics，“Over 50% of those living in nursing homes do not have close relatives and 46% have n o living children.” Life in a nursing home is lonely，confusing，and frightening for many residents.Volunteering at a nursing home is a great opportunity to make a difference in someone else’s life.Playing cards，sitting with and talking to a resident，taking a walk，or sharing a meal makes a huge difference，especially when they have no other sole on earth to visit them.The three examples above are only a small fraction of institutions in which volunteers are needed.Giving of oneself，especially during the holidays blesses and cheers others.【语篇解读】本文介绍了人们在假期中可以选择去做志愿活动的三个地方。

At that time, the French dreamed of discovering and controlling more land across the world. In 1535 Francois I, King of France, ordered a navigator (航海家) named Jacques Cartier to explore the New world and search for a passage to India.Cartier first arrived at the Gulf of the St. Lawrence, which he wanted to explore. He did not knowwhat to expect but he hoped that this Gulf was just an arm of the ocean between two islands. If it was, he would soon be on his way to the Far East. So he sailed upwards along the St. LawrenceRiver. However, instead of reaching Asia he arrived at Quebec or Stadacona, as the Indians calledit. It was at this point that the term “Canada” entered the country’s history. Clearly the word“Canada” came from an Indian word “Kanata”, which means village. Cartier first used it when hereferred to Stadacona or Quebec. What a huge “village” Canada is!57. What was Cartier ordered to do?A. To build a new countryB. To find the New WorldC. To get in touch with the American IndiansD. To know more about America and find a new way to Asia58. When Cartier reached the Gulf of St. Lawrence he hoped ________.A. he had got to the Far EastB. it was a water way to the New WorldC. it was a water way to the Far EastD. he had sailed into the Pacific59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Quebec and Stadacona were tow islands.B. The Indian language for village is Stadacona.C. Quebec and Stadacona were two villages in Canada.D. Stadacona was what the Indians called Quebec.60. Canada was first used to refer to __________.A. AsiaB. the New WorldC. a villageD. Quebec Olivia and Jack are the most popular names in Britain for babies born in 2008, according to a survey made by the website Bounty. Jack has been top for 14 years since it took over from Thomas.Grace — made famous by the Hollywood star Grace Kelly — slipped back into third place behind Ruby, the name of singer Charlotte Church’s daughter.Summer climbed 28 places from 44th to 16th. Ava — the name of singer Myleene Klass’s daughter — also leapt 15 places to 19th.The troubles of the singer Amy Winehouse perhaps had an effect on the popularity of the name. It dropped three places to 23rd. Rebecca is also on the wane(变弱), ranking 48th. So is Courtney, which ranked 88th. Theo, obviously inspired by England’s teenage football hero Theo Walcott, is among the biggest climbers in the boy’s list, rising from 70th to 58th.An employee of Bounty said, “Baby names have witnessed the biggest changes over the last decade as parents are increasingly influenced by celebrities. The Bounty baby name poll also shows parents are continuing to be creative and inspirational about the names they choose for their children. Some parents want a name that’s totally unique, and names such as Zebedee, Selim and Zenon are now emerging and growing in popularity. Others are simply breaking with convention and becoming bolder in their choice of names.”“While politicians’ names may be growing in popularity in America, British politicians don’t influence our choice of names in the UK. Traditional royal names continue to be supreme(最高的) in the boys’ top 100,” The employee said.6．Which of the following girl names ranks the second?A. Grace.B. Ruby.C. Kelly.D. Charlotte.7．Baby names changed a lot mainly because of the influence of ______.A. starsB. parentsC. mediaD. politicians8．What kind of names covers the most in the top 100 boys’ names?A.

Summer ranked 28th in the girls’ list in 2007C. Rebecca might be 50th in the girls’ list in 2007D. Courtney climbed in the boy’s list in 2008 compared with 2007 A dog can’t speak words, but it can “talk”. It has feelings just as you do. At times it may feel angry or afraid. Watch a dog closely. Youcan see what it is trying to tell you. When you are afraid, you may look down shyly. A fearful dog looks away from you. It may run away too. When you are angry with people, you stare at them and press your lips together. An angry dog also stares. Sometimes the hair along its back stands up. Do you feel guilty when you have done something you shouldn’t? Dogs can feel guilty, too. At times when I come home, my dog gives me a guilty look. Then I know he’s done something wrong.Dogs need love and attention. Some dogs are very unhappy when they are left alone for a long time. Some dogs even snap(撕咬) if they don’t get enough attention.You may have a dog or you may know a dog. Treat it well if you want to have fun with it. Play with it. Take it on wa lks. Don’t order it round too much. Try not to punish it one time and not the next for doing the same thing. Always remember, a dog has needs and feelings just as you do.

Take it out for a walk 14．The word “guilty” in the second paragraph most probably means _______.A. happyB. excitedC. frightenedD. sorryDYou may picture firefighters holding a hose (水管) outside of a burning building, but the Golden Eagles Hotshots don’t fight fires quite that way. When they go into action, you may not even see a fire truck.The Hotshots are firefighters who battle fires in wildness areas. But don’t think you’ll only find them in their home state California. Wherever there is a national wildfire emergency, the Golden Eagles Hotshots could be there.But these firefighters don’t work the same way as firefighters in a big city. They work in areas where there are a large number of trees, bushes,and grass. They climb up and down steep hills to clear brush and burnable debris（残骸）. They sometimes use water, but they often fight fire with fire!They do that by lighting what are called “backfires,”which are small, controlled fires that burn up fuel in the path of large wildfires. That way, when the wildfire gets there, it has nothing to burn and nowhere to go, because all the burnable fuel has already gone up in smoke. The Hotshots also clear away fuel using old-fashioned hard work. For example, they use a saw to cut away trees and heavy brush that could catch fire.Of course there are times when the Golden Eagles Hotshots do have trucks to supply water to the fires. But the water is limited, and these guys have to rely on hard work more than anything. Physical fitness is very important. They have to be in great physical shape to handle steep hills and difficult terrain(地形) while carrying a 60-pound pack.The Golden Eagles Hotshots definitely work hard for their pay. But thanks to their efforts, many lives have been saved, many houses have not burned, and countless trees are still standing.15．67. The firefighters mentioned in the passenger.A. do much of their work in CaliforniaB. avoid climbing steep hills in their workC. do their work equipped with advanced tools.D. carry out their work mostly in forests and mountains.16．68. According to the passage, why do the firefighters light “backfires”?A. To signal for help.B. To remove obstacles.C. To protect trees and bushes.D. To prevent the fire from spreading.17．69. What can we learn about the Golden Eagles Hotshots?A. They are firefighters working in big cities.B. Their work requires physical strength.C. They are voluntary firefighters working for free.D. They usually hold a hose to put out the fires.18．70. What is the author’s attitude towards the Golden Eagles Hotshots?A. AppreciativeB. DoubtfulC. WorriedD. Critical Pregnancy(妊娠) and childbirth kill more than 536,000 women a year. More than half of the cases happened in Africa, according to the World Health Organization. In fact, most of the deaths are preventable with basic medical care.The five leading causes are bleeding, infection, high blood pressure, longtime labor and bad abortions (流产). Mothers' deaths from such causes were largely reduced nearly a century ago in developed countries. Experts say that what kill many women are “the three delays”— the woman's delay in deciding to go to the hospital, the time she losestraveling there and the hospital's delay in starting treatment. Only about 15 percent of births have dangerous complications(并发症)．Women lack education and information about birth control. Husbands and inlaws, may decide where a woman gives birth and insist that she stay at home to save money. However, there is no single solution to a problem with so many factors—shortages of doctors, nurses, drugs, equipment, roads and transportation—though hospital officials are trying many things now.One stopgap measure to solve the problem for the present has been to train assistant medical officers, to perform certain operations. Some African countries are now struggling to train more assistants and midwives (接生婆) , and provide places for pregnant women to stay near hospitals. But there is a long way to go. Only 20 percent of women in the continent give birth at the hospital. More than 50 percent stay at home to give birth, and the rest go to local clinics that cannot handle emergencies. 19．Which is not included in the five leading causes of women's deaths during pregnancy and childbirth?A. Infection.B. High blood pressure.C. Traveling long distances.D. Bleeding.20．The underlined word “stopgap” probably means “________ ”in the passage.A. finalB. temporaryC. effectiveD. instant 21．What can we learn from this passage?A. The governments of African countries have to take more effective measures to save pregnant women.B. Developed countries should help African countries reducemothers'deaths.C. The husbands in poor countries should take responsibility for their wives'deaths.D. Most problems that cause women's deaths during pregnancy and childbirth can be treated or prevented.22．What is the author's attitude towards the future of preventing women's deaths during pregnancy and childbirth?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Objective.D. Subjective.参考答案1．B2．C3．D4．C【解析】1．由performances and popular Chinese foods. Daily 11 am- 2 pm, 5 pm-11pm.找到。

It is a yearly event on 23rd April, organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO), to promote reading.In the United Kingdom, the day is recognized on the first Thursday in March. On 3rd March, 2016 children of all ages in the U．K. will come together to appreciate reading. Sometimes, reading a modern novel can be tough (Booker Prize winner The Luminaries runs to 832 pages! ), especially if reading is not your strong suit. In fact, one in six people in the U．K. never pick up a book because they've experienced difficulties or are out of the habit of reading for pleasure.The Galaxy Quick Reads series are designed to introduce reluctant readers to bestselling short funny novels, which bring the joy of reading without demanding hours of concentrated time. They cover a range of subjects, from romance to comedy.Jojo Moyes's Paris for One is a romantic adventure in which 26－year－old Nell books a weekend away to Paris with her lazy, neglectful boyfriend. When he fails to turn up, she is alone in the city. That is, until she meets Fabien, who shows her the charms of the French capital—in more ways than one.Adele Geras's moving story Out In The Dark was set in World War I, in which young Rob came back from the battlefields.

专题限时检测(二十一) 阅读理解C篇高分练(二)(共3篇，限时24分钟)A(2019·苏州模拟)One sunny afternoon in the autumn of the year 1861 a soldier lay in a clump of laurel (月桂树) by the side of a road in western Virginia. He lay at full length upon his stomach, his head upon the left forearm.His extended right hand loosely grasped his gun. But for the slight rhythmic movement of his back, he might have been thought to be dead. He was asleep at his post of duty. But if found, he would be dead shortly afterward, death being the just and legal penalty for his crime.The sleeping soldier was a young Virginian named Carter Druse. He was the son of wealthy parents, an only child. His home was but a few miles from where he now lay. One morning he had risen from the breakfast table and said, quietly but gravely, “Father, the Union Army has arrived at Grafton, I am going to join it.”The father lifted his head, looked at the son for a moment in silence, and replied, “Go, Carter, and whatever may occur, do what you consider to be your duty. Virginia, which you betray, must get on without you. Should we both live to the end of the war, we will speak further of the matter. Your mother, as the physician has informed you, is in a most critical condition; at best she cannot be with us longer than a few weeks, but that time is precious. It would be better not to disturb her.”So Carter Druse, bowed to his father and left the home of his childhood. By conscience and courage, he was soon well received by his fellows and his officers; and it was to these qualities and to some knowledge of the country that he owed his selection for his present duty at the extreme post. Nevertheless, he fell asleep, exhausted. What good or bad angel came in a dream to awake him from his state of crime, who shall say? He quietly raised his forehead from his arm and looked between the laurels.His first feeling was a keen artistic delight. On the cliff was a statue of impressive dignity. The figure of the man sat on the horse, straight and soldierly. The face of the rider, turned slightly away; he was looking downward to the bottom of the valley.Broad awake and keenly alive now, Druse cautiously pushed the gun forward through the bushes and covered a vital spot of the horseman's breast. A touch upon the trigger (扳机) and all would have been well with Druse. At that instant the horseman turnedand looked in his direction — seemed to look into his very face, into his eyes, into his brave heart.Druse grew pale; he shook in every limb (肢) and turned faint. His hand fell away from his weapon, his head slowly dropped until his face rested on the leaves in which he lay.The duty of the soldier was plain — the man must be shot dead. But no — there is a hope; he may have discovered nothing — perhaps he is but admiring the beauty of the landscape. Druse turned his head and looked through the deeps of air downward. He saw some foolish commander was permitting the soldiers to water their beasts in the open!Druse withdrew his eyes from the valley and fixed them again upon the group of man and horse in the sky, and again it was through the sights of his gun. But this time his aim was at the horse. In his memory rang the words of his father, “Whatever may occur, do what you consider to be your duty.”He fired.Ten minutes had hardly passed when a Federal officer crept cautiously to him.“Did you fire？” the of ficer whispered.“Yes.”“At what？”“A horse. It was standing on the rock, pretty far out. You see it is no longer there. It went over the cliff.”The man's face was white, but he showed no other sign of emotion. Having answered, he turned away his eyes and said no more. The officer did not understand.“See here, Druse，” he said, after a moment's silence, “it's no use making a mystery. I order you to report. Was there anybody on the horse？”“Yes.”“Well？”“My father.”语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。

Roosevelt Fireplace CabinsBGrowing up，I thought math class was something to be endured，not enjoyed．I disliked memorizing formulas（公式）and taking tests，all for the dull goal of getting a good grade．One of my teachers told my mother that I was "slow"．But my problem wasn't with math itself．In fact，when a topic seemed particularly interesting，I would go to thelibrary and read more about it．By high school，no one told me that I could become a professional mathematician．What I wanted to do then was to play college football．My ambition was to get an athletic scholarship to attend a Big Ten school．The chances of that happening were very low．But that didn't stop my coaches from encouraging me to believe I could reach my goal，and preparing and pushing me to work for it．They made video tapes of my performances and sent them to college coaches around the country．In the end，a Big Ten school，Penn State，did offer me a scholarship．I wish math teachers were more like football coaches．Students are affected by more than just the quality of a lesson plan．They also respond to the passion of their teachers and the engagement of their peers，and they seek a sense of purpose．They benefit from specific instructions and constant feedback（反馈）．Until I got to college，I didn't really know what mathematics was．I still thought of it as laborious（耗时费力的）calculations．Then my professor handed me a book and suggested that I think about a particular problem．It wasn't easy，but it was fascinating．My professor kept giving me problems，and I kept pursuing them，even though I couldn't always solve them immediately．The mathematical research I was doing had little in common with what I did in my high school classrooms．Instead，it was closer to the math and logic puzzles I did on my own as a boy．It gave me that same sense of wonder and curiosity，and it rewarded creativity．I am now a Ph．D candidate in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology．4.Why did the writer think math class in school was "something to be endured" beforeentering college？A. Because he wasn't interested in math．B. Because his math teachers didn't care to push him．C. Because he was too smart and talented for math class．D. Because he was training hard for an athletic scholarship．5.According to the writer，students are affected by the following things from teachersorcoaches EXCEPT ______ ．A. a sense of purposeB. constant feedbackC. passionD. specific instructions6.We can conclude that after entering college，the writer ______ ．A. was busy looking for math problems to solveB. studied on his own just as he was in high schoolC. met with laborious calculations in his studiesD. began to realize what mathematics really is7.What is the best title for the text？A. Interest is the best teacherB. Be the best-you can make itC. Math，taught like footballD. Once your teacher，always your teacherCRecently I rolled into a local restaurant to try an Impossible Burger，an all-plant patty（人造肉饼）invented by Impossible Foods．It's well known for having an strangely chewy（有咀嚼感），even bloody，meat-like quality，a surprising verisimilitude（逼真）that has made it "perhaps the country's most famous burger，" as New York magazine wrote．One bite into its wonderful，smoky taste and，damn，I was convinced．This is good news，because the time has come to consume fake meat．In the fight against climate change，meat replacement is something we can try．A University of Oxford study recently found that，to keep global warming below 2 degrees this century，we need to be eating 75 percent less beef and 90 percent less pork．However，diets are culturally enshrined，so changing them will be hard．It isn't easy to replace 75 to 90 percent of beef and pork with fake meat．The first taste of an Impossible Burger-a moment when low expectations work a powerful magic in the product's favor-is one thing．But how do you keep meat-eaters asking for more after their sixth，and their 26th？ To get to true mass adoption，fake meat will need to compete favorably with the real thing on multiple fronts．Impossible Foods' goal is to drive the price of its product below that of Safeway's 80/20 hamburger meat，at which point people will simply vote with their wallets．The new industry also wants to improve on animal flesh in various ways．Fake meat has an advantage over traditional meat because "you won't need to refrigerate it" cofounder Niko Koffeman says．Plus，custom（定制的）production could improve choice．"You could have very soft and tender meat for elderly people，" Koffeman adds．"You could have a tailored meat for whatever you need．"You can tell the world is shifting this way，because the ranchers（牧场主）are nervous．Last year，the US Cattlemen's Association asked the government to define "meat" as a product "coming directly from animals．" That anxiety-and the power of the science driving it-goes to show that this grand shift isn't impossible．8.According to passage，the author was convinced by the Impossible Burger because______ ．A. it has a special taste that is different from normal ones．B. it contains all non-meat materials that taste like meat．C. more vegetables are used as main materials for the burger．D. one bite of this burger can provide people with the energy needed for a whole day．9.What does the author mean by saying "Diets are culturally enshrined"？A. That people think their diet is the best in the world．B. That people are unwilling to go against their culture by changing their diets．C. That people's preference for food is linked to the food choice available to them．D. That people's eating habits are consistently observed and closely connected with theirculture．10.Which of the following statements is true about the advantages that fake meat will have tobeat over traditional meat？A. Fake meat will not be necessarily stored in a refrigerator．B. The price of fake meat will be just one-fourth of traditional meat's．C. Fake meat will win over older people thanks to its tender and soft taste．D. Fake meat will own a taste that is not found in traditional meat．11.What can we infer from the last paragraph？A. Meat must come from animals．B. The world will probably embrace the idea of fake meat．C. The ranchers are suffering economic loss due to fake meat．D. The definition of meat has been changed because of fake meat．DA new study has found the amount of antibiotics（抗生素）given to farm animals is expected to increase by two-thirds over the next 15 years．Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to the increasing need for meat，milk and eggs．However，the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotic-resistant infections（感染）．Such infections are already a major public，health concern in the United States．The World Health Organization notes when people stop living in poverty（贫困），the first thing they want to do is eat better，rather than earn more money．For most people，that means their diet should contain more meat．With the rapid development of Asia，people there are eating nearly four times as much meat，milk and other milk products as they did 50 year ago． To meet the need，farmers have put many animals into smaller spaces．As the animals are crowded together，the easiest way to deal with some of the problems d crowding is to give them antibiotics．It's clear that antibiotics help animals stay healthy in a crowded environment and grow faster．But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs gradually．Nowadays，doctors find antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer work ．The bacteria have learned ways to fight against the drugs．The heavy use of antibiotics in animals is responsible for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide．In the United States，at least two million people get drug-resistant infections each year and at least 23，000 die from an infection．Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth．And the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose．12.What accounts for the increasing amount of antibiotics given to farm animals？A. The desire for new drugs．B. The less effective antibiotics．C. The outdated farm technology．D. The need for more various foods．13.What do most people want to do first when they get rid of poverty according to the WHO？A. Making a lot of money．B. Focusing more on health．C. Having more meat in their diet．D. Living in a better environment．14.What can be inferred from the passage？A. Antibiotics do harm to animals．B. Antibiotics help animals stay healthy．C. Antibiotics are used heavily in Europe．D. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria spread to people．15.What's the passage mainly about？A. A new way of raising farm animals．B. The advantages of using antibiotics．C. The reason for banning the use of antibiotics．D. The negative effect of antibiotics in farm animals．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting？Certainly，it is a new experience，which brings the opportunity of discovering fascinating things and a feeling of freedom．(1) You will experience culture shock．Evidently，at least four essential stages of culture-shock adjustment occur．The first stage is called "the honeymoon"．In this stage，you feel excitement about living in a different place，and everything seems to be marvelous．(2)Eventually，however，the second stage of culture shock appears．This is the "hostility stage"．(3) You become tired of many things about the new culture．Moreover，people don't treat you like a guest anymore．Everything that seemed to be so wonderful at first isnow awful，and everything makes you feel distressed and tired．Then you come to the third stage called "recovery"．You start feeling more positive，and you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand．The whole situation starts to become more favorable．(4)The last stage of culture shock is called "adjustment"．(5) The things that initially made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand．Now you feel comfortable；you have adjusted to the new culture．A．Actually，culture shock is something you cannot avoid when studying in a foreign country．B．You have reached a point where you feel good because you have learned enough to understand the new culture．C．You like everything，and everybody seems to be so nice to you．D．You recover from the symptoms of the first two stages．E．In spite of these advantages，however，there are also some challenges you will encounter．F．However，when you have completely adjusted to a new culture you can more fully enjoy it．G．You begin to notice that not everything is as good as you had originally thought it was．16.

新闻报道类A(2023·安徽省淮南市高三一模)The world's top climate scientists of the IPCC have just released a landmark report, warning about the future of the planet．The headline—burning fossil fuels is already heating up the planet faster than anything the world has seen in 2,000 years．The IPCC is a U．N．body of 195 member states that assesses the science related to the climate crisis on behalf of governments every few years．This is the group that defines the scientific consensus．Hundreds of scientists work on a series of reports, which take years to produce．Governments have to sign off on them．And this one is just the latest big reassessment of the climate that the IPCC has done, but it's the first one that is done in eight years．It also has the clearest, most confident conclusions that have ever been seen in an IPCC report．According to the report, the greenhouse gases that we have already put into the air have warmed up the planet so far by almost 2°F compared to the pre-industrial times．This warming trend appears to be accelerating as the greenhouse gases accumulate in the atmosphere．And if we keep burning fossil fuels, by 2100—so within the lifetime of a child that's born today—the planet could be 5 to 7°F hotter．And one new thing in this report is that it tries to put numbers on what that means．So, for instance, they say heat waves so extreme used to only happen once every 50 years．Now they're happening almost five times more often．Extreme droughts could double or four times in frequency．In some cases, extreme storms could become three times more frequent and drop 30% more rainfall in a day．The scientists say preventing the worst effects will demand a U-turn away from use of fossil fuels．And it depends on us collectively．If every country, every business shifts away from burning gas, coal and oil over the next 30 years or so, we could probably limit this warming trend to a total of less than 3．5°F．1．What's the author's probable purpose of introducing the IPCC in Paragraph 2？A．To make its work better known．B．To respect the scientists' commitment．C．To make the report more convincing．D．To appreciate its great achievements．2．What do you think of the current warming according to the report？A．It results from extreme weather．B．It is running out of fossil fuels．C．It is badly speeding up．D．There is no way to slow it down．3．How do the scientists support their conclusion in the report？A．By defining scientific consensus．B．By using statistics and inference．C．By quoting authority figures．D．By modeling climate change．4．What do the scientists expect people to do？A．Make joint efforts to stop the use of fossil fuels．B．Take positive attitudes to our planet's future．C．Follow the global warming trend collectively．D．Develop new approaches to using fossil fuels．【语篇解读】本文为一篇新闻报道。

Go to buy yourself a ticket to Sweeney Todd tomorrow. It'll change your life，’” Elder said. Elder never got the man's name—just $200 and a photo.Elder had never seen Sweeney Todd, so he bought “a great seat”. Starring in that production was the legendary Patti LuPone. “That did not seem real. Patti LuPone... she seemed like a person you read about in a book or heard about somewhere, but not someone you saw perform，” Elder said.He th en tried his best to earn a place on the stage. LuPone is now his costar in the hit musical Company—a turning point of fate that goes back to the stranger who gave him the means to watch one of Broadway's biggest productions. “It takes that kind of generosity to show you what generosity can be, to turn around and do it again，” Elder said.Giving back is now a big part of his life. Once a month, he and his 4yearold son pay for a stranger's meal at their local diner. Recently, he has started giving away free tickets to his show through social media.After every performance, Elder takes a picture with the strangers he buys tickets for and hangs the photos in his dressing room. “I hope that it awakens something in them, just like it did in me，” he said. “What I hope happens is that these people are shown some sort of sincere kindness from a stranger and hopefully in turn go out and do something kind for somebody who they don't know.”4．How did Elder feel when he saw Patti LuPone perform?A．Moved and grateful.B．Inspired but worried.C．Curious but doubtful.D．Surprised and excited.5．What did Elder do after seeing Sweeney Todd?A．He took Patti LuPone as his teacher.B．He tried to contact the stranger.C．He trained hard to become an actor.D．He created Company with Patti LuPone.6．Why does Elder give free tickets to those strangers?A．To get personal popularity.B．To take photos with them.C．To inspire them to do good deeds.D．To help them know more about his show.7．What is the best title for the text?A．An Act of Kindness Goes FarB．Hard Work Always Pays OffC．Luck Falls in an Unexpected WayD．A Good Play Can Change Your LifeCSherry Gao is pouring coffee made from singleorigin beans, hoping that her Mandarin Coffee Stand in the city of Pasadenawill, California introduces you to your new favorite coffee and turns your preconceptions about Chinese coffee beans upside down.Much of the Western world imports its coffee from Africa and South America. But Gao hopes that throwing light on Yunnansourced coffee could expose customers to the coffeeproducing region and help to break down prejudice against the beans, which for decades, until only a few years ago, were primarily used for instant products.“We wanted to highlight Chinese coffee because a lot of people nev er had Chinese coffee before，” Gao said. “Some have the mindset that it's bad or it's cheap, but that's not the case anymore. It's been changing so much over the last decade.”Recent experimentation with processing, such as the addition of fruit or sugarcane molasses during the production, is leading Yunnan's coffee to more flavorful results. “Every time a new product comes in, it tastes better than the last one，” Gao said.Farmers in China have grown tea for more than 3，000 years, but coffee has been grown there for only about a century in small quantities, with an uptick in the 1980s with government involvement. And the turn of the century and the 2010s saw a sharp growth with international corporations investing in the region's crops, initially for use in instant coffee.But in the last 10 to 15 years, tastes and demand for specialty and highgrade coffees emerged, especially from local growers and shops. The domestic demand for Chinagrown coffee has risen so dramatically that Gao says it's now much more expensive.To further connect with the community, Gao hopes to one day host classes for interactive howto events. After all, she says, the Yunnan coffee tastes excellent when made in one's own kitchen with a pourover system and she hopes it's only a matter of time before home specialty coffee enthusiasts catch on too.8．What's a misunderstanding of Chinese coffee beans?A．They are of poor quality.B．They have limited producing areas.C．They have a mild taste.D．They are used for flavored coffee.9．Wha t does the underlined word “uptick” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Output. B．Increase.C．Option. D．Investment.10．What does Sherry Gao expect to do in future?A．Offer community members coffee for free.B．Buy a pourover system for her shop.C．Teach people to make Chinese coffee at home.D．Keep up with home specialty coffee fans.11．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A．Entertainment. B．Health.C．Education. D．Business.D[2023·山东省日照市三模]A new wearable device that wraps around your finger like a plaster can harvest sweat while you sleep and use it to generate electricity, according to the developers from University of California, San Diego.Most power producing wearable device require wearers to perform intense exercise or depend on external sources such as sunlight or large changes in temperature. But the new strip uses a passive system to generate electricity from sweat in your fingertips, even if you are sleeping or sitting completely still. This is because the finger tips are the sweatiest part of the body. So, thanks to a smart sponge material, this can be collected and processed by conductors.The energy harvester produced small amounts of electricity when the wearer presses down or starts to sweat, or from light finger tapping. It does this by converting activities like typing, texting, or playing the piano into extra charge.Finger tips have one of the highest concentrations of sweat grands in the body, with coach finger producing between 100 and 1，000 times more sweat than most other areas, according to the researchers.Cofirst author doctoral student Mr. Bin said: “The reason why we feel sweatier on other parts of the body is that those spots are not well ventilated (通风的). By contrast, the finger tips are always exposed to air, so the sweat evaporated as it comes out. So rather than letting it evaporate, we use our device to collect this sweat, and it can generate a significant amount of energy.”The device is equipped with electrical conductors or electrode (电极) made from a carbon foam, which absorbs any finger sweat. Enzyme (酶) on the electrode then cause a chemical sweat molecule to generate electricity.The device only stores up a little bit power at the moment, and would take about three weeks of constant wear to power a smart phone, but the researchers hope to increase capacity in future.12．How is the new device different from other wearables?A．It is costeffective.B．It is harmless to skin.C．It required no exercise.D．It produced electricity.13．What does the underlined word “evaporate” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Changes into a gas.B．Freezes in the air.C．Drops to the ground.D．Becomes bigger in amount.14．What is the disadvantage of the device?A．It is extremely small in size.B．It is very difficult to operate.C．It has a very limited power capacity.D．It relies much on temperature changes.15．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．Sweats FingertipsB．Power from FingertipsC．An Electrical ConductorD．A Rechargeable Device[答题区]阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Many martial arts were invented because people needed to defend themselves or protect others. Nowadays, people learn martial arts as a way of keeping fit or as a competitive sport, but they are still very useful for selfdefense.Martial arts are often referred to as either the soft ones or the hard ones. These terms imply a way of dealing with your opponent's force. Soft martial arts, such as tai chi, teach you to use your opponent's force to defend yourself. Soft styles allow you to use flowing movements and timing to avoid your opponent's attacks. These martial arts are soft for the defender but not for the attacker! On the other hand, hard styles such as kung fu, teach you to defend yourself using force.Techniques involve blocking, posturing, powerful hitting and kicking. Hard martial arts techniques are more effective if you are more skillful, more powerful and faster than your opponent.Perhaps one of the best known Japanese martial arts today is karate. But did you know that its roots are derived from Fujian Province? In the 4th century, a community of Chinese migrants from Fujian settled in what was then the kingdom of Okinawa. The Chinese migrants used to gather in a park to enjoy cultural activities—one of which was kung fu. This soon caught the attention of local youths, who started learning kung fu from their Chinese neighbours.In fact, Chinese influence in martial arts was not limited to kung fu. The very first Korean military training guidebook was based on a Chinese version. During the Japanese invasion of Korea in the 16th century, the Korean army needed an effective way to train a large number of troops. They adopted a training methodology (方法) from a Chinese military book called Ji Xiao Xin Shu, written by the famous Chinese general Qi Jiguang.4．Why did people invent martial arts?A．For keeping fit.B．For selfdefense.C．For competition.D．For attacking others.5．Which is the character of soft martial arts?A．Using violence to attack others.B．Attacking your opponent's weakness.C．Using smooth action to defend yourself from damage.D．Defending yourself with powerful hitting and kicking.6．Who spread karate?A．The Chinese army.B．The Korean military.C．Japanese troops.D．Chinese migrants.7．Why did the Korean army adopt a training methodology from Ji Xiao Xin Shu?A．To train soldiers.B．To keep soldiers fit.C．To attend cultural activities.D．To show admiration for Qi Jiguang.C[2022·云南省第一次高三检测]Italy's cheap old homes continue to appeal to hundreds of interested buyers, among whom was Roy Patrick, a British who deals in antiques in Italy. Patrick bought an old schoolhouse in the mountain village of Carrega Ligure for $16，500. It's both an adventure and a joy.Patrick bought the property quite by accident. When told about the wonders of the village, he toured there to take a look and was instantly struck by the 1930s school building. “The house is very special and the view is unique—the way the sun goes down over the mountains, you'd say‘wow'. It's a fantastic wonderland，” says Patrick.The property was offloaded by the local government to boost the populations of communities in decline. Since the purchase, he's been visiting every two weeks and finds it has many charms. “Top of the list is the friendliness of the local residents, followed by the breathtaking views I get out of the windows looking across the valley，” he adds.Patrick's initial encounter with his new home was less than promising. He had to climb through a window to open up the building, which had been shut for decades and whose door was jammed, with the keys nowhere to be found.However, a later structural disaster turned into a positive story. When an unstable chimney collapsed due to a heavy snow, a neighbor volunteered to climb onto his roof to make it safe. The locals are so welcoming that they are ready to help newcomers.During the restoration needed to make the old school habitable, Patrick unexpectedly unearthed a great many treasures: dusty piles of old textbooks,inkwells, pupil registers and other historical items.Patrick has some advice for those with the thought of buying a house in Carrega Ligure: There is absolutely nothing, just great views, pure air and clean surroundings. There are no bars, supermarkets, or restaurants. A vehicle is essential to move around. However, Carrega Ligure does spring to life in the summer when vacationers arrive to relax. “There are nights when people throw a party with loud music，” says Patrick.“Otherwise it's just singing birds and total silence.”8．What led to Patrick's purchase of the old schoolhouse?A．The locals' friendly attitude.B．Its location and rising value.C．Its uniqueness and surroundings.D．The government's housing welfare.9．What was the government's intention of selling the property?A．To attract more settlers.B．To boost local tourism.C．To preserve village traditions.D．To reform the education system.10．What's one of Patrick's added bonuses of getting the house?A．Acquiring more personal space.B．Digging up some historical finds.C．Enjoying a more active social life.D．Getting free home decoration service.11．How does it feel most of the time living in Carrega Ligure?A．Quiet.

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校湖北2016高考英语阅读理解二轮训练（2）【2014高考训练题】“There is no second chance…there is no chance of making mistakes.”That’s why Dr. Omer Mei-Dan and others who enjoyed base-jumping and wingsuit(翼装) flying were sad but not surprised by the recent deaths of three extreme sports enthusiasts.Mark Sutton, the English parachutist(跳伞者), died on August 14 in Switzerland when he flew into a rocky ridge(山脊) in a wingsuit. Not even a week afterward, Mario Richard, a Canadian base-jumper, died in Italy during a wingsuit flight, when he “apparently failed to clear a rock by three meters.” And most recently, Hungarian wingsuit flyer Victor Kovats died in Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park in Zhangjiajie on Oct. 9 during a practice flight ahead of the World Championships.According to Mei-Dan, six to seven percent of the 3,000 or so base-jumpers who use wingsuits or parachutes die each year — a huge number when you consider the most dangerous job in America, logging which has an annual death rate well under one percent of the workers.Base-jumpers and wingsuit flyers are experienced. They have hundreds of practice before trying to fly from buildings, cliffs and towers. The same goes for those who drop from helicopters above mountains and valleys and then use their wingsuits to try to whiz by(飞速掠过) as close as possible to the rocks and ridges below.Among the dangers, said Mei-Dan, is the temptation to “push the envelope ” : To try to get close to a rock wall, for example, than anyone else. “ When you push the envelope and you can not have any error at all, or you have to pay for it with your life.”So why do it? The experience of flying toward the ground in a wingsuit is almost indescribable. “It’s something that you really have to try to understand —what type of feeling you get when you’re free falling next to a cliff,” Mei-Dan said.41. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Trying wingsuit flying once is enough.B. Wingsuit flying is always easy to do.C. Wingsuit flying lasts only a short time.D. Even a single mistake in wingsuit flying is disastrous.42. How did other flyers react to the recent deaths of their fellows?A. They thought the deaths could have been avoided.B. They felt the need of reconsidering the safety of wingsuit flying.C. They were sad and were in deep sorrow.D. They felt sad but did not find the deaths surprising.43. What does the third paragraph tell us?A. How the three wingsuit flyers died.B. Why wingsuit flying is so dangerous.C. Where wingsuit flying is most dangerous.D. What a wingsuit flyer’s career is like.44. What does the underlined phrase “push the envelope” mean?A. To attempt to push further in a wingsuit.B. To risk moving the envelope away.C. To be determined to give up on oneself.D. To try to go beyond the normal limits of something.45. The extreme sports enthusiasts like wingsuit flying because they _____.A. want to know what it feels likeB. wish to describe the experienceC. enjoy the wonderful experienceD. devote themselves to scientific research【参考答案】41~45 DDADC【2014高考训练题】What would it be like to take a walk on the surface of Mars?

All you need is an Internet connection and your imagination. A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day. Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play games or check e-mail. But next time you get on the Web, try exploring the world instead. “With the Internet, you can go back 11,000 years in time, or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet,” said Russell, Web search expert of Google. “The whole scope of history and the world is open to you.”There is a wealth of information to be found online. For example, if your family is going on vacation somewhere, do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car. “What’s the background of the place; what’s the history?” says Russell. “I like to tell my kids, ‘Whenever you have a question, whenever yo u have a doubt, search it out.’ ”Ready to launch a virtual(虚拟的) journey of your own?

ALinda Evans was my best friend — like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special times —like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back，stamped “Address Unknown”. I had no idea about how to find Linda.Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.One day, I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman —Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans.” I thought, but I still wrote to her.She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda E vans Wagman is my mother.”Minutes later I heard a voice that I recognized at once, even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t loseeach other again!26.

阅读理解训练（1）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Grown- ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star”and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.1. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown- ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are easy to remember.2. The author explains the law of overlearning by .A. presenting research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples3. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is .A. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies4. What is the author’s opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. It’s helpful only in a limited way.C. It’s possible to result in poor memory.D.

四川2016高考英语二轮阅读理解训练（2）【2015高考复习】阅读理解In a world with limited land，water and other natural resources(资源)，the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise.Actually，the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm.People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed，and that we must be able to develop in sustainable(可持续的)ways.That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products.In other words，we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today，sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries.According to a recent study，the global market for lowcarbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade.China，for example，has set its mind on leading that market，hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy resvolution.It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy，and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and highs peed trains.In addition，we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil(棕榈油)，which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest.In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets.First，they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放)and targets for saving and reusing energy.Besides，stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development.Finally，governments can avoid the huge public expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction，and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from the traditional model to a sustainable one.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet.That is no small task，but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.16．The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ________.A．it makes the world warmerB．it consumes natural resourcesC．it brings severe damage to futureD．it makes growth hard to continue答案 B [细节理解题。
