Europeans should try to stay indoors if ash from Iceland's volcano starts settling, the World Health Organization warned Friday as small amounts fell in Iceland, Scotland and Norway.WHO spokesman Daniel Epstein said the microscopic(微小的) ash is potentially dangerous for people when it starts to reach the Earth because inhaled(吸入) particles can enter the lungs and cause respiratory problems. And he also said Europeans who go outside might want to consider wearing a mask.Other experts, however, weren't convinced the volcanic ash would have a major effect on peoples' health and said WHO's warnings were "hysterical." They said volcanic ash was much less dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution. V olcanic ash is made of fine particles of fragmented volcanic rock. It is light gray to black and can be as fine as talcum powder. During a volcanic eruption, the ash can be breathed deep into the lungs and cause irritation even in healthy people. But once it falls from a greater distance — like from the cloud currently hovering above Europe — its health effects are often minimal, experts say."Not all partic les are created equal," said Ken Donaldson, a professor of respiratory toxicology at the University of Edinburgh, "In the great scheme of things, volcanic ash is not all that harmful." And he said most Europeans' exposure to volcanic ash would be negligible and that only those in the near districts of the Icelandic volcano would likely be at risk.Dr. Stephen Spiro, a professor of respiratory medicine and deputy chair of the British Lung Foundation, said the further the particles travel, the less dangerous they will be. "The cloud has already passed over northern Scotland and we haven't heard of any ill effects there," he said. Spiro said to wear masks or stay indoors to avoid volcanic ash was "over the top" and "a bit hysterical."1. The text is mainly about .A. the effect of volcanic ashB. the health risk of volcanic ashC. the disadvantages of volcanic ashD. the opinions on health risk of volcanic ash2. Which one is true according to Paragraph3?A. The volcanic ash’s effects on Europeans were little.B. The ash caused irritation even in healthy people.C. Other experts thought WTO’S warnings were useful.D. The volcanic ash was more dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution.3. The underlined word “hysterical” in Paragraph4 most probably means .A. amazingB. practicalC. valuableD. overstated4. What can we learn from the passage?A. The volcanic ash wouldn’t be harmful to people.B. All experts thought the volcanic ash did great harm to our health.C. People close to the volcano would likely be at risk according to some experts.D. Europeans should stay indoors because Iceland's volcano starts settling.答案：1.D. 主旨大意题。

考吧网2013年高考英语阅读理解练习及答案(1)
Laws that would have ensured pupils from five to 16 received a full financial education got lost in the …wash up‟. An application is calling on the next government to bring it back.At school the children are taught to add up and subtract(减法) but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account — let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children from five to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children, Schools and Families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called “wash-up” earlier this month — the rush to legislation before parliament was dismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habits of young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven- to 11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them are in debt to family and friends. By this age, 26% see a credit card or overdraft(透支) as a way of extending their spending power. Pfeg predicts that these young people will “find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befall en many of their parents' generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school.”The UK has been in the worst financial recession(衰退)for generations. It does seem odd that — unless parents step in — young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university. In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents.1. The passage is mainly about _____________.A. how to manage school lessonsB. how to deal with the financial crisisC. teaching young people about moneyD. teaching students how to study effectively2. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that __________.A. the author complains about the school educationB. pupils should not be taught to add up and subtractC. students have been taught to manage their financesD. laws on financial education have been effectively carried out3. The website and the consumer campaigner joined to _________.A. instruct the pupils to donate their pocket moneyB. promote the connection of schools and familiesC. ask the government to dismiss the parliamentD. appeal for the curriculum of financial education4. According to Pfeg, ___________.A. it is easy to keep good habits longB. teenagers spend their money as plannedC. parents are willing to pay the debt for their kidsD. it will be in trouble if the teenagers are left alone5. A poll is mentioned to ___________.A. stress the necessity of the curriculum reformB. show the seriousness of the financial recessionC. make the readers aware of burden of the parentsD. illustrate some people are strongly against the proposal答案：CADDA原文地址：/201208/120067.html。

2013高考英语新课标单选完形及阅读答案及解析
2013高考英语新课标全国卷单选题答案及解析本次单项选择考试特点：考点经典、语境定调。
考查重点：时态语态(2道)；从句(状从、名从、定从各一)；非谓语动词(3道)；介词，冠词，情态动词以及副词题目各一道。
2013年的新课标卷延续了去年的风格，拿单选题目来说，题干不再有冗杂的文字，言简意赅，放弃了华而不实的题目设计，回归语言基础，同时在题目的设计中强调语法、语言的实用性。
如加入了对基本句式的考查和更多学生在生活中可以用到说到的对话及句子。
可以说无论在内容上还是在务实的角度上比起前几年都有了较大的突破和革新，且难度不小。
这一转变也许反而让考生们措手不及，毕竟学校练习的高频考点与本年度题目设计有一定的出入。
但从单选出题重点来分析，从句、时态、虚拟语气的考查比例都有所下降，甚至连虚拟语气都没考。
常规考点保留情态动词和介词，同时加入副词比较级的考查，再一次表明了考点务实、重视基础这一转变。
同学们今后在学习过程中也要打好基础，不可凭印象盲目做题。
遇到难题应冷静分析，句式类题目从句意和成分角度入手解题，词(动词、代词、介词等)类题目则从句意和该内容基本用法和功能上入手解题，如动词时态要清楚动作发生时间、顺序和主被动等。
另外今年新课标卷考试对考生翻译和对对话情景的理解和感悟要求不低，建议同学在平时训练是加强对这一点的训练。

Although astronaut (宇航员) still remains fairly high on the list of careers (事业) kids dream about these days, others like doctor and teacher have been taken the place of by the desire (欲望) to win good name and money as a sporting hero, pop star or actor.The parents of children aged 5 to 11 said the choice of lawyer had dropped by only one place on a top 10 list to sixth, while teacher had dropped to ninth from top in the last 25 or more years.The survey for British TV channel “Watch” found a great difference between the genders (性别) of today’s young people when compared with their parents’ dreams 25 years or more ago.Playing professional football, being an astronaut and joining the firefighting service topped the boys’ choices, while girls are more likely to be dreaming of taking to the stage as a pop star or actress or joining the medical profession.When asked what they would like their children to do for a living, today’s parents still like the academic (学术的) professions (职业), with law and medicine scoring highly, while being a boss came third.Parents also praised job happiness above wealth (财富) when it comes to their hopes for their children.Nearly 70 percent of the parents surveyed thought that they failed to follow their dreams when it came to their career, with 37 percent thinking it was caused by a lack of aspiration and not having the necessary conditions.46.

What can be learnt from the passage?A. Parents’ hope for their children’s career did not change too much.B. Parents pay much attention to the income of their children.C. Less than half of the parents who were surveyed didn’t follow their dreams.D. Most parents didn’t have the necessary conditions to realize their dreams.50. What is the main idea of the passage?A.

Children’s dreams are always changing.B篇About twenty years ago I had the pleasure of teaching a disabled young woman. Not only was she good at math and science, but she was also extremely talented in art. She could draw and paint beautifully. When Audrey graduated from university she got two degrees, one in fine arts and one in chemistry. Not too many people do well in two such different areas of study.Just before her high school graduation, Audrey gave me a wonderful gift. It was a watercolorpainting of a mother and her baby. A tear fell from the mother’s eye as she looked lovingly at her child. Beneath the painting Audrey had written these words: “The deep love from Mother, through me, touches another.” What a beautiful gift! I had the piece of art framed(给…做框) and hung in my office.Years passed with many moves from one office to another and I lost the painting. Last year, after about eight years of not knowing where it was, I received a phone from a former colleague who said she had something of mine. It was the picture Audrey had painted for me 18 years ealier. When cleaning out a storage room she had discovered my gift.I was struck that the precious gift came back. I knew Audrey very well. When she was four years old Audrey had a serious disease. What’s worse, her father left the house. It was her mother who brought her up with much trouble. She survived the disease but was disabled.To any other it is just a painting, but to me it shows how a mother’s love has helped develop a talent and how its power pushes me ahead.51. What made Audrey different from others was that she_______.A. could draw and paint beautifulllyB. was good at math and chemistryC. got two degrees in two different fieldsD. was a student in a key university52. How did the author regain the painting?A. She found it from one office.B. One of her former colleagues found it.C. She found it in a storage room.D. Audrey found it for her.53. What is Paragraph 4 mainly talking about?A.The author’s feeling.B. Audrey’s family.C. Audrey’s experience.D. The author’s experience.54. Why does the author value the painting so much?A. It was painted by her most talented student.B. The painting can be worth a lot of money.C. The art value of the painting is immeasurable(无法估计的).D. The painting encourages her to advance(前进).26—45 ADDCD BACBC DADCC BABBA46-54 BCDAB CBCD。
2013高考英语试题
2013高考英语试题一、阅读理解Passage 1Questions 1-5Read the following passage and answer the questions.Language is a flexible tool. That fact is especially clear in the history of the English language.The English language has changed dramatically over the centuries. Old English, from which Modern English is derived, was spoken and written from roughly the years 450 to 1150. The language that was spoken during these years sounds similar to German, Old Norse, and Old Frisian.Middle English, which came after Old English, was spoken and written from about 1150 to about 1500. It is quite difficult for Modern English speakers to understand Middle English because the pronunciation and vocabulary are so different. The Canterbury Tales, written by Geoffrey Chaucer in the late 14th century, is one of the most famous works of literature written in Middle English.Modern English, as we know it today, has been spoken and written since about the late 15th century. The language continued to evolve, with influences from the Renaissance, theIndustrial Revolution, and the technological advancements of the 20th and 21st centuries.1.What is the main topic of the passage?A)The history of the English languageB)The differences between Old English andModern EnglishC)The influence of the Renaissance on theEnglish languageD)The Canterbury Tales as an example ofMiddle English literature2.When was Old English spoken and written?A)Roughly from 450 to 1150B)Roughly from the late 15th century to thepresentC)From about 1150 to about 1500D)Since about the late 15th century3.Which of the following is true about Middle English?A)It is difficult for Modern English speakersto understand.B)It sounds similar to German, Old Norse,and Old Frisian.C)It was spoken and written from about1150 to about 1500.D)The Canterbury Tales is an example ofMiddle English literature.4.What are some influences on the evolution of Modern English?A)The Renaissance, the IndustrialRevolution, and technological advancementsB)The Canterbury Tales, the IndustrialRevolution, and the RenaissanceC)Technological advancements, theRenaissance, and the Industrial RevolutionD)Technological advancements, theIndustrial Revolution, and the Canterbury Tales5.Which of the following is true about the English language?A)It has remained unchanged for centuries.B)It is derived from Old Frisian.C)It was influenced by the Renaissance andthe Industrial Revolution.D)It has had no significant influencesthroughout its history.Passage 2Questions 6-10Read the following passage and answer the questions.The human brain is a remarkable organ. It is responsible for all our thoughts, feelings, and actions. But how does the brain work? And what can go wrong when it doesn’t work properly?The brain is made up of billions of specialized cells called neurons. These neurons communicate with each other through electrical signals and chemicals called neurotransmitters. When everything is functioning correctly, this communication allows us to think, learn, and perform complex tasks. However, when something disrupts this communication, it can lead to neurological disorders.One example of a neurological disorder is epilepsy. Epilepsy is a condition characterized by recurring seizures, which are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Although the exact cause of epilepsy is not known, it is believed to be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.Another common neurological disorder is Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It is the mostcommon cause of dementia, a group of disorders characterized by a decline in cognitive function. Although there is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, researchers are working hard to better understand its causes and develop potential treatments.6.What is the main topic of the passage?A)The structure of the brainB)The function of neurotransmittersC)Neurological disordersD)The causes of epilepsy7.What is one function of neurons?A)They communicate through electricalsignals.B)They are responsible for thoughts,feelings, and actions.C)They cause neurological disorders.D)They disrupt communication in the brain.8.What causes epilepsy?A)Genetic and environmental factorsB)Abnormal electrical activity in the brainC)Alzheimer’s diseaseD) A decline in cognitive function9.What is one symptom of Alzheimer’s disease?A)Recurring seizuresB)Abnormal electrical activity in the brainC) A decline in cognitive functionD)Memory loss10.What is the current status of Alzheimer’s disease?A)There is no known cause or cure.B)Researchers are working on potentialtreatments.C)It is characterized by abnormal electricalactivity in the brain.D)It affects memory, thinking, and behavior.二、翻译与写作翻译将以下句子翻译成英文。

Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you loveyourself.Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself.Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be trick y.Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics.but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves.If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge.it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself.This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think.Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about US.Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be.Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes.That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day.Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself.Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task.If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor.If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice.If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes.But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.The best way to get rid of a negative serf-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities.Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positiveself-image.When you can pat(拍) yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way.Good luck!1.Y ou need to build a positive self-image when you _________.A.dare to challenge yourselfB.feel it hard to change yourselfC.are unconfident about yourselfD.have a high opinion of yourself2.According to the passage, our serf-images _________.A.have positive effectsB.are probably untrueC.are often changeableD.have different functions3.How should you change your serf-image according to the passage?A.To keep a different image of others.B.To make your life successful.C.To understand your own world.D.To change the way you think.4.What is the passage mainly about?A.How to prepare for your success.B.How to face challenges in your life.C.How to build a positive self-image.D.How to develop your good qualities.5.Who are the intended readers of the passage?A.Parents.B.Adolescents.cators.D.People in general.答案：1—5CBDCB原文地址：/201208/120520.html。
考吧网2013年高考英语阅读理解练习及答案(8)
In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity, others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self – worth relied (依赖) on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life – and – death affairs. In their single – minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to se ek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if th ey had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self – respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued.

What should you think about when trying to find your career? Y ou are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Y our school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. Y ou may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. Y ou may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. Y ou may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Y our school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. Y ou should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
