But doctors in the Washington area said a boy died when a tooth infection spread to his brain. They said itmight have been prevented had he received the dental care he needed. He was 12 yearsold.Experts at the National Institutes of Health say good dental care starts at birth. Breast milk,they say,is the best food for the healthy development of teeth. Breast milk can helpslow bacterial growth and acid production in the mouth.But dentists say a baby's gums and early teeth should be cleaned after each feeding. Use a cloth with a little warm water. Do the same if a baby is fed with a bottle. Expertssay if you decide to put your baby to sleep with a bottle,give only water.When baby teeth begin to appear,you can clean them with a wet toothbrush. Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies and to use themvery gently.The use of fluoride(氯化物) to protect teeth is common in many parts of the world. Forexample,it is often added to drinking water supplies. The fluoride mixes with enamel (釉质),the hard surface on teeth,to help prevent holes,or cavities,from forming. But young children often swallow toothpaste when they brush. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry notes that swallowing fluoridated toothpaste can causeproblems. So young children should be carefully supervised when they brush their teeth.And only a small amount of fluoridated toothpaste,the size of a green pea,should be used.Parents often wonder what effect thumb sucking or sucking on a pacifier might have on their baby's teeth. Dental experts generally agree that this is fine early in life.The American Academy of Family Physicians says most children stop sucking their thumb by the age of four. If it continues,the group advises parents to talk to their child'sdentist or doctor. It could interfere with the correct development of permanent teeth.1.The best title of this passage is ________.A.The Reason of a Twelve-year-old Boy's DeathB.The Baby Teeth Should Be Cared for from BirthBreast Milk and Fluoride Are Important.C仔细审题、认真作答.试题习题、尽在百度How to Help Young Children Form Good HabitsEverybody has had at least one experience from which he knows the meaning of life. but seems as if it just happened. which took place several years ago,This time,law opened the bottom drawer of my my brother-in-On an afternoon several years ago,sister's dress and picked out a beautiful skirt.“Jan bought this the first time we went to at least 8 or 9 years ago.

They often stand close when talking and it iscommon for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other(particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with businessmeetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals canstretch for hours—there's no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, someetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions,even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull awaythe handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tendto be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoidentertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touchingor passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse.

They Just Can't Help ItMy theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy —the ability to understand other people —and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems. ________ For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines that feature computers and sport.You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case. A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mobile. ________ It has also been observed that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people's feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions. ________ People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost male. Math and engineering, which require high levels of systems-thinking, are also male-chosen disciplines. Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons (神经) that connect the right and left part of their brains. Because of it, women have a better ability to multitask than men. ________ Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender (性别) is better than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses. ________ It is not true. The study simply looks at males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist, and why they are there.A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.B. Their preference for building systems may change over time.C. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.D. They will consider many sources of information at the same time.E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.F. That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological.G. Others may think the theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.【答案】 A;F;C;D;G【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,阐述男性与女性差异各有优缺点。

Since then,Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week."I'd keep going if they let me," Harrison told the Herald.His doctors said it was time to stop the donations.They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they're cutting him off now to protect his health.Harrison's retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia.Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult.But Harrison's retirement from giving blood doesn't mean he's completely out of the game.Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.4.Why did James Harrison decide to donate blood as regularly as he could?A.Because he wanted to be a celebrity.B.Because he was saved by the blood donations when he was young.C.Because his blood is valuable.D.Because the Rh treatment program in Australia need him.5.What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?A.Robyn Barlow was sad because millions of babies suffer from blood disease.B.Robyn Barlow was worried because Harrison may die of losing too much blood.C.Robyn Barlow was moved by Harrison's donations.D.Robyn Barlow was frightened by Harrison's crazy behavior.6.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Harrison's retirement will not affect the Rh program.B.After Harrison's retirement, the Rh program will fail.C.Harrison's influence to the Rh program will still exist after his retirement.D.A library has been built for the study of Harrison's DNA.7.Which word can best describe Harrison?A.Patient.B.Diligent.C.Talented.D.Devoted.CScientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing.Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting the places for birds to stop, rest and feed.The scientists studied the migration or flight paths of almost 1,500 species.They decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas.The major danger for migratory birds is development.Buildings and pavements have covered the places where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another.One of the scientists who worked on the study says "Many of these important places have been lost to land reclamation(开垦) because of urban, industrial and agricultural land expansion".The problem, according to scientists, is that many of these small birds die along their migration paths because they don't have a safe place to feed and rest.There is no place to restore their energy for the next part of their journey.Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time in protecting land.The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds.One species that doesn't exist now is the Eskimo curlew."Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species," one of the scientists says.The researchers say countries need to work together and come up with safe stopping areas for birds that pass through their boundaries.For example, one country might have preserved safe zones for migrating birds.But a neighbor country might not.A bird might die.One scientist who is not connected with the report tells Los Angeles Times that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds.He says small changes, like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of the areas birds would be likely to use, could make a big difference.8.What mainly caused the disappearing of birds' habitats?A.The decrease of awareness to protect birds.B.Natural disasters.C.Overuse of land by human beings.D.The rising sea level.9.What may be the main reason for many birds' death on the way of migration?A.Exhaustion and hunger.B.Beast attack on the ground.C.Hunting of humans.D.The long journey.10.According to the last two paragraphs, how should we protect the migrating birds?A.By keeping fewer cats or dogs.B.By restoring their destroyed habitats.C.By helping change the birds' migration paths.D.By preserving the ecological environments on their migration paths.11.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A.To tell us a huge percentage of bird species are in danger.B.To analyze the reasons for disappearing of birds' habitats.C.To offer some solutions to the problem of birds' habitats.D.To call on people to protect the birds' habitats.DThe biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a hiking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes.Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.The portable washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010, while planning to climb Mt.Kilimanjaro.Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes.Then he gave up his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag's design.By 2012, the bag was ready for the public.It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers.However, Newland was not satisfied.He still saw a disadvantage with his invention—dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water.The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged(揉搓) for a few minutes.After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried.According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! What's even more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13 liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when it's not in use.With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!12.What aroused Ash Newland's desire to create the Scrubba Wash Bag?A.Travelers' requirements.B.His own experience.C.His dream of invention.D.A traditional washboard.13.Why wasn't Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?A.The bag was not convenient enough.B.The bag was not popular with travelers.C.The bag couldn't wash more clothes at a time.D.The bag couldn't be folded up.14.Which word can best replace the underlined word in paragraph 4?A.Blown.B.Pushed C.Figured.D.Run.15.It can be inferred that the improved Wash Pack ______.A.will lighten the burden on housewivesB.will replace the traditional washing machinesC.will be widely used by more travelers in the futureD.can encourage more people to travel a long distance第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

淮安市最新高考英语阅读理解精选附答案一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解If American waterways had ever been voted on the yearbook, the Buffalo River could easily have been named Ugliest. It could be hard to find hope there. It took decades for public perception of the river to shift. But activist citizens, who collaborated with industry, government, and environment groups never gave up on their polluted river—the Buffalo River gradually went from being considered a lost cause to a place worth fighting for. And by now the cleaned—up water is one of Buffalo'S biggest attractions.By the 1960s, the river was seen as one of the worst sources of pollution pouring into the Great Lakes. The Buffalo River had caught fire many times. The surface had an oily layer, and any fish caught there were not eatable.The waterway's fate started shifting in the mid-1960s. Stanley Spisiak was a local Polish—American jeweler by day, but by evening he was the kind of guy who'd chase down dumpers(垃圾车)he spotted on the Buffalo River. By 1966 he found himself winning the National Wildlife Federation's "Water Conservationist of the Year" award. And before long he got a nickname:" Mr. Buffalo River. "But there was only so much he could do—the river was still declared biologically dead in 1969.Jill Spisiak Jedlicka is his great-grandniece. She picks up where he left off by directing the river's protector organization, Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper. Professor Schneekloth and seven friends founded the organization as an all-volunteer nonprofit in 1989, after organizing the first river cleanup that year. Today the group employs 27 full-time workers and has helped oversee the Buffalo River's $100 million restoration.So far, the Buffalo River's water quality has restored, but it is still an ongoing issue, as sewage(污水)can overflow into the river after storms. Habitat restoration continues as well; fish and plantings are still being sampled to measure how well it's gone.(1)What did the Buffalo River use to be?A. A waterway on the yearbook.B. A river heavily polluted.C. A great attraction of Buffalo's.D. A place worth fighting for.(2)Why was Mr.Spisiak named "Mr. Buffalo River"?A. Because his fate shifted in the 1 960s.B. Because he spotted dumpers on the River.C. Because he spared no efforts to protect the river.D. Because the river was declared biologically dead.(3)How long did it take for the river to restore?A. More than half a century.B. Just four decades.C. About 30 years.D. Only 27 years.(4)What can be a suitable title for this text?A. The restoration of the Buffalo RiverB. Stanley Spisiak: The "Mr.Buffalo River"C. The future of the Buffalo RiverD. River protection: A long way to go【答案】(1)B(2)C(3)A(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了被污染的the Buffalo River的恢复。

淮安市最新高考英语阅读理解精选附答案一、高中英语阅读理解1.(2019•浙江)阅读理解California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick Mclntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, Mclntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).Since the 1930s, Mclntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.(1)What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B. The increasing variety of California big trees.C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.(2)Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?A. Ecological studies of forests.B. Banning woodcutting.C. Limiting housing development.D. Fire control measures.(3)What is a major cause of the water shortage according to Mclntyre?A. Inadequate snowmelt.B. A longer dry season.C. A warmer climate.D. Dampness of the air.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?A. California's Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon.C. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D. Patrick Mclntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California【答案】(1)A(2)D(3)C(4)A【解析】【分析】本文属于议论文,围绕加利福尼亚的大树从20世纪30年代以来大量减少为主题,探讨出现这一现象的原因。
江苏省淮安市淮海中学高中英语阅读理解经典试题(含答案) 百度文库
一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Empathy (同理心)is one of those strange qualities—something almost everyone wants, but few know how to truly give or receive it. In a world where self-satisfaction is emphasized, it is in short supply but high demand. This is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means to have empathy for those around them.What Is Empathy?— Many people confuse sympathy and empathy, but they are two distinct values. Empathy is not just the ability to understand someone's feelings; criminals often take advantage of people by appearing to understand their feelings and subsequently gaining their trust. Empathy is more than that. Not only is it the ability to recognize how someone feels, but it also values and respects the feelings of another person. It means treating others with kindness, dignity, and understanding.Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy—While some children are gifted with naturally kind hearts, in most cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them. It begins with the way parents relate to their children. Parents who show an interest in the things that matter to their kids and respond to emotions in a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of empathy.Meet Emotional Needs—When children have their emotional needs met, two things happen. They learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are receiving, meaning that they are secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first they need to receive. An empty jug cannot fill a cup.It's a good idea to talk to kids about emotions and how other people experience them. Give their emotions names (for example, jealousy, anger, and love) and teach them that these are normal. Talk to them about how to handle emotions in a positive way and point out situations where other people are experiencing emotions. Teach them about respecting the emotions of others and show them how to act in a situation where a response is required.(1)Why is it that the next generation are taught to have empathy?A. Because people tend to center themselves.B. Because everyone lacks empathy.C. Because empathy is a strange quality.D. Because it's better to give than to receive.(2)Which situation can empathy be used in?A.When a mathematician is calculating the area of a farmland.B.When a teacher is comforting a student about his failure in exams.C.When a criminal is cheating a victim.D.When a dancer is dancing to music.(3)What does the underlined sentence "An empty jug cannot fill a cup" mean?A.An empty jug is too small to hold a cup.B.It's a must to talk to kids about emotions.C.Adults should set an example to kids.D.Kids give empathy with their emotional needs met first.(4)What is the main topic of the passage?A.How to train kids to have empathy.B.How to distinguish sympathy and empathy.C.How to help kids finish empathy-related tasks.D.Whether kids can be trained to be more empathetic.【答案】(1)A(2)B(3)D(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,在一个强调自我满足的世界里,我们更有理由教导下一代,对周围的人抱有同理心意味着什么。

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Most adults find it hard to recall events from their first few years of life and now scientists have found exactly when these childhood memories fade(消失).A new study has found that most three-year-olds can recall a lot of what happened to them over a year earlier, and these memories persist while they are five and six, but by the time they are over seven, these memories decline(衰退) rapidly.Most children by the age of eight or nine can only recall 35% of their experiences from under the age of three, according to the new findings.The scientists behind the research say this is because at around this age the way we form memories begins to change. They say that before the age of seven children do not have a sense of time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early events they can recall tend to be more adult-like in the way they are formed. Children also have a far faster rate of forgetting than adults. The findings also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of events but then forget them just a couple of years later.The youngsters first visited the laboratory at the age of three and discussed six unique events from their past, such as family outings, trips to the zoo, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second session between the ages of five and nine to discuss the same events. The researchers found that between the ages of five and seven, the amount of memories the children could recall remained between 63 -72 percent. However, the amount of information eight-to nine-year-old children could recall dropped to 35 and 36 percent.(1)What does the new study tell us?A.Childhood memories decline with years.B.Three-year-old kids are the cleverest.C.Childhood memories can fade easily.D.Some adults cannot recall past events.(2)What does the underlined word "persist" in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Change.B.Remain.C.Appear.D.Return.(3)What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Adults cannot have clear memories of past events.B.Children can think like adults when they get older.C.Children under 7 years old have different ways of forming memories.D.Children often forget things because they have no idea of time or place.(4)In the second session, nine-year-old children _________.A.refused to discuss the same eventsB.remembered all their family outingsC.could recall 72 percent of their past eventsD.only remembered a small part of their past events【答案】(1)A(2)B(3)D(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了记忆消失的一些知识。

高三英语阅读理解细节题专项突破(十二)AExcept for the sun, the moon looks the biggest object in the sky. Actually it is one of the smallest and only looks big because it is so near to us. Its diameter is only 2160 miles (3389 km), or a little more than a quarter of the diameter of the earth.Once a month, or, more exactly, once every 29.5 days, at the time we call “full moon”, its whole disc looks bright. At other times only part of it appears bright, and we always find that this is the part which faces towards the sun, while the part facing away from the sun appears dark. People could make their pictures better if they kept this in mind — only those parts of the moon which are lighted up by the sun are brighter. This shows that the moon gives no light of its own. It only throws back the light of the sun, like a huge mirror hung in the sky.Yet the dark part of the moon’s surface is not completely black; usually it is just light enough for us to be able to see its shape, so that we speak of seeing “the old moon in the new moon’s arms”. The light by which we see the old moon does not come from the sun, but from the earth. We know well how the surface of the sea or of snow, or even of a wet road, may throw back uncomfortably much of the sun’s light on to our faces. In th e same way the surface of the whole earth throws back enough of the sun’s light on to the face of the moon for us to be back to see the parts of it which would otherwise be dark.1. Why is the dark part of the moon not completely black?A. The sun shines o n the moon’s surfaceB. The earth throws back sunlight on to the moon.C. The moon throws back the light from the sun.D. The moon has light of its own.2. How often do we see the moon at its brightest?A. Once every 29.5 days.B. Once every year.C. Once every week.D. Once every 27 days.3. What is meant by “seeing the old moon in the new moon’s arms”?A. Part of the moon’s surface is lighted by the sun.B. The new moon is at its brightest.C. The dark parts of the moon are bright enough for us to see.D. We can see the dark parts of the moon, though not clearly.4. Which of these is true?A. The light by which we see the old moon comes from the sun.B. The moon’s diameter is exactly one fourth of that of the earth.C. The moon which appears round at its brightest is called full moon.D. The part of the moon which is not lighted by the sun is completely dark.BScientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregiver. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant(怀孕的)woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children.Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity(敏感)of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere(干扰)unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression.The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorlyin tests of language skills and understanding what they hear. These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people.The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression.5. What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories?A. To prove that babies can learn before they are born.B. To prove that babies can learn on the first day they are born.C. To show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babies.D. To indicate early education has a deep effect on the babies’ language skills.6. Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills?A. The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children.B. The children of women who did not suffer from depression.C. The children of depressed but caring mothers.D. Children with high communication abilities.C7. It can be learned from the advertisements that the children alone under 12 years can enjoy themselves for free in .A. Lido Holiday InnB. Palace HotelC. Scitech HotelD. Hilton Hotel8. If you want to have an Easter meal on March 28, which hotel can you go to?A. Scitech Hotel and Lido Holiday InnB. The Palace Hotel and Hilton HotelC. Hilton Hotel and Lido Holiday InnD. Scitech Hotel and the Palace Hotel9. If you have Easter Brunch in Hiton Hotel you will pay RMB for it.A. 195B. 224.25C. 165.75D. 97.5DOne evening after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. William called a family meeting. “We’ve had to make a difficult decision.” Mr. William announced. “You see, your mother has been offered a post as co-director of a television in Chicago. Unluckily, the station is not here. After thinking long and hard about it, we’ve concluded that the right decision is to move to Chicago.”Peter looked shocked, while his sister Amy breathlessly started asking when they’d be moving: “It’s surprising, but exciting!” she said.Peter simply said, “We can’t go — I can’t leave all my friends. I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy!”Mr. and Mrs. William hoped that by the time they moved in August, Peter would grow more accustomed to the idea of leaving. However, he showed no signs of accepting the news, refusing to pack his belongings.When the morning of the move arrived, Peter was nowhere to be found. His parents called Tommy’s house, but Tommy’s mother said she hadn’t seen Peter. Mrs. William became increasingly worried, while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly.What they didn’t know was that Peter had started walking over to Tommy’s house, with a faint idea of hiding in Tommy’s attic for a few days. But something happened on the way as Peter walked past all the familiar landscape of the neighborhood: the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father often took evening walks together. How much would these mean without his family, who make them special in the first place? Peter didn’t take the t ime to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house, wondering if there were any moving cartons the right size to hold his record collection.10. The conflict in this story was caused by ________.A. Peter and Amy’s different tempersB. Peter’s disagreement with his parents about their moveC. a quarrel between Tommy and PeterD. Mr. and Mrs. William’s words of Peter’s irresponsibility11. Peter and Amy were both _________ after hearing the move.A. worried about packingB. angry and worriedC. anxious for more detailsD. surprised12. The reason for Peter’s going home was that _______.A. he realized his family was essential with himB. he did not want to be left behindC. he hoped to reach an agreement with his parentsD. He wished to be a more responsible person。

Asthma(哮喘) is a long-lasting breathing disease that affects millions of Americans, many of whom are children. People who get asthma will suffer from lack of breath, difficulty in breathing or coughing--which are caused by the tightening of the muscles in airways. Untreated asthma can lead to poor lung function and death, but asthma can also be effectively controlled with proper treatments.Research is discovering genes that contribute to the development of asthma. This development has pointed researchers to the role of indoor and outdoor pollution as environmental factors that contribute to the increased occurrence of asthma.The Indoor PollutionIndoor pollution has increased with the developments in building materials and in heating and air conditioning systems. In addition to poisonous gases that come from paint, other materials like dust and perfumes used in household products such as washing powder are recycled continuously through the house, winter and summer.Unlike the days before central heating or before whole-house air conditioning, these materials and chemicals cannot get out of modern homes. Most often, they cause breathing problems in the members of the family with the least-developed autoimmune(自身免疫的) systems. Proper venting (通风) and use of environmentally-friendly building materials and carpeting can help reduce the presence of these chemicals.The Out door pollutionResearchers have also established outdoor pollution's role as a probable cause of asthma. Asthma has been proven to result from some fuel products. Smog and the small matters carried by it have been recognized as a factor which leads to asthma since the 19th century when London saw more and more diseases in the industrial population. Industrial pollutants and other chemicals which are produced in water treatment and open treated water like that found in the swimming pools also contribute to increased cases of asthma as well as other illnesses.Those most affected by the increase of industrial and environmental pollution are children. Although much has been done to control the levels of pollution in the US, there still remains much to do as it is a worldwide phenomenon. Until an international effort can be made to limit carbon emissions, the occurrence of environmental asthma will probably continue to increase./results/effects;Factors;caused/ increased;Besides;remain/ stay;increased/ increasing;harmful;prevented/stopped/ kept/ away/ free/ freed【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,分析了哮喘产生的原因,从室内污染和室外污染两个方面来进行阐述。

试题习题、尽在百度高三英语阅读理解细节题专项突破(五)AIf there is one thing I am sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives-the big political stories,the coverage of the wars,earthquakes and other disasters,will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though.It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因)engineering. In the future,I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do-as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I am pretty sure that it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu,making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read-sports and international news,etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体).They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers,but that hasn't happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen of sound in the air. And as for the Internet,it is never really pleasant to read something just on ascreen.What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself? .1A menu of important news. B..Sports and international news. AWhat you are interested in. D.The most important news. .CFrom the text,we can infer that________..2A. newspapers will win the competition among the different mediaB. some media will die outC. television will take the place of newspapersD. newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaB仔细审题、认真作答.试题习题、尽在百度For some minutes, all was quiet in the street. Then, from across the street, someone came walking at a slow pace.It looked like a man of middle height, dressed in a big raincoat, a soft hat and rubbersoled boots or shoes, and making little sound while walking: at most a soft, sliding sound. No one was in sight. It was a street with two rows of about fifty small houses, and there were three lamps on either side. The lamp nearest the child's house could be seen clearly, but the others were almost hidden by the smoky air. A car passed the end of the street and its lights showed faintly, but clearly enough the wrinkled skin of a woman's small face. The car disappeared as the woman, wrapped up in her coat, reached the doorway of the child's house.She put a key into the lock quickly, pushed the door open and stepped inside, then close the door without looking round. She began to breathe hard.She leaned against the door for a moment, then straightened up as if with an effort, and walked towards the door of the front room, the passage leading to the kitchen, and the narrow staircase. She hesitated outside the door, and then went up the stairs, quickly but with hardly a sound. There was enough light from the narrow hall to show the four doors leading off a small landing. She pushed each door open in turn and shone a torch inside, and the light fell upon beds, walls, furniture, a bathroom band basin, a mirror which flashed brightness back; but this was not what the woman was looking for. She turned away and went downstairs and hesitated again at the foot of the stairs, then turned towards the kitchen. Clearly there was nothing there, or in the small wash-room, that she wanted. Two rooms remained; the front room and a smaller one next to it. She opened the front room door. After a moment, she saw the child's bed and the child.3. The lights of the car passing the end of the street showed that _______.A. a woman was walking by herself up the streetB. a man was walking up the streetC. a man was driving by himself up the streetD. a woman was driving the car4.

But many aviation experts wonder why, in our increasingly networked world, divers are searching the Indian Ocean for a metal box when technology already exists that would enable planes to stream black box data to the ground in the event of an emergency.Black boxes have been on planes since the late 1950s, and now every commercial aircraft hastwo: a flight data recorder and a voice recorder. (Although they are referred to as black boxes, they aretypically orange in color, making them easier to spot in waters.) Black box recorders are mainly used to investigate the cause of in-flight accidents.While black boxes are built to survive a crash and long-term submersion(浸没)in water, it can bea real challenge to find the device if a plane has gone down in the ocean. While each box contains a beacon(无线电信标台), the unit only has enough battery power to transmit a signal for 30 days. After the crash of Air France Flight 447 in the Atlantic Ocean in June 2009, it took divers two years to find the black box.Pierre Jeanniot, a Canadian engineer who helped perfect black box technology about 40 yearsago, feels that the device, in its current form, is “obsolete”. He started to question its effectiveness more than a decade ago, after seeing the broken pieces of the black boxes in the 2001 attacks on the World Trade towers in New York. Jeanniot is now on the advisory board of a Toronto-based firm that has built a live-streamed black box system. When a plane experiences an irregular event, the system can send streaming data off the aircraft to one of the satellites and then down to ground-based servers, where the message is interpreted and sent to the airline. It seems necessary that the loss of MH370 and other similar cases wake more people up to the fact that the tools being used at this stage are inadequate for dealing with emergency situations, Jeanniot says. He also estimates that if this technology had been on board the missing Malaysian Airlines flight and live-streaming for the estimated seven hours after the flight first experienced a problem, it would have cost about $3,000. While there is widespread approval of a live-streamed black box system, most airlines see itscost prohibitive. The airline industry is an industry with small profits, and is unwilling to add costs that will further cut the bottom line.However, given how much time, money and effort has been spent on the luckless search forMH370's black box, the cost of operating a live-streaming version seems like a trifle(区区小数)仔细审题、认真作答.试题习题、尽在百度6. Which fact is mentioned to support aviation experts' doubt about the effectiveness of the black box?A. MH370's black box holds flight data that might explain what happened to the aircraft.B. The recorders are actually orange in color though referred to as black boxes.C. The beacon in the black box has limited battery power to send out a signal for 30 days.D. It's necessary for people to wake up to the weaknesses of the black box.7. What's airlines' attitude towards the live-streamed black box system?A. They approve of the system since it may save time, money and effort.B. They consider using the system as the bottom line of costs.C. They are unwilling to start the system because it still needs improving.D. They are unwilling to equip planes with the system as it cuts their profits.8. From the passage, we can learn that__________.A. it takes divers one or two years to find the black box after a crashB. the new system does not live stream black box data for the whole flightC. Jeanniot changed his view on black box technology when working for a Canadian firmD. operating a live-streamed black box system costs only three thousand dollarsDV ATICAN CITY (Reuters) –Pope (教皇) Francis, giving his clearest indication that he wants a more austere(朴素的) Catholic Church, said on Saturday that it should be poor and remember that itsresponsibility is to serve the poor.Francis explained to the reporters why he chose to take the name, Francis, after St. Francis of Assisi, a symbol of peace, austerity and poverty. The pope recalled, While the formal voting continued, I thought of wars .... Francis of Assisi is the man of peace, poverty and the man who loves and protects others; and that is how the name entered my heart., adding, Oh, how I would like a poor Church and for the poor. St. Francis of Assisi, an Italian who died in 1226, abandoned his family's fortune for a life of charity and poverty.Since his election on Wednesday (March 13, 2013) as the first non-European pope in nearly1,300 years, Francis has laid out a clear moral path for the 1.2-billion-member Church, surrounded by dishonors, tricks and argumentations. Francis has set a forceful moral tone and given clear signs that he will bring a new broom to the crisis-hit Church, favoring modesty and simplicity.He thanked the thousands of journalists who had covered his election but invited them to always仔细审题、认真作答.试题习题、尽在百度try to better understand the true nature of the Church, with its virtues and crimes. He urged journalists to seek ruth, goodness and beauty in the world and in the Church.After the voting reached the two-thirds majority, applause broke out.

On the night he was elected, he traveled on a bus. He went to the Church-run hotel where he had been staying before the election and insisted on paying the bill.Pope Francis, Argentina's former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, has also urged Argentines not tomake costly trips to Rome to see him but to give the money to the poor instead. It was the latest indication that the pope wanted the worldwide Church to take on an austere style.9.

高三英语阅读理解细节题专项突破(十一)ASome colors people see late at night could cause signs of clinical(临床的)depression(沮丧). That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals(个人) who live or work in low levels of light overnight(整夜) can develop clinical depression. Doctors use the word “clinical depression” to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.In the new study, American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters(仓鼠)to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and are active at night.The animals were separated into four groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light, a third group slept in front of a white light, while a fourth was put in front of a red light.After four weeks, the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water.Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University. He says animals that slept in blue and whi te light appeared to be the most depressed. “What we saw is that these animals didn’t show any sleep uneasiness(不安) at all but they did mess up biological clock genes and they did show depressive sign while if they were in the dim(微弱)red light, they did no t.”Randy Nelson notes that photosensitive(感光)cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight. He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep-wake cycle.He says there’s a lot of blue in whi te light. This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness.1. Researchers use hamsters in the experiment because __________.A. they are similar to humans in dealing with colorsB. they are easy to observe and studyC. they are sensitive to colors like human beingsD. they are active at night and sleep during the day2. What sign shows that the hamsters are being depressed?A. They drink less sugary water.B. They don’t sl eep well.C. Their eyesight becomes worse.D. Their energy level becomes low.3. __________ tends to cause hamsters to be depressed.A. Dim lightB. Red lightC. Blue lightD. Darkness4. What can help people who work late at night to avoid being depressed?A. Not being exposed to dim red light when using computers.B. Equipping their computer screens to put it more in the reddish light.C. Living or working in low levels of light overnight.D. Going to see doctors of clinical depression regularly for help.BCompared to the other parts of the body, our ears don’t ask for much. They don't need to be brushed once a day like your teeth. But they need some special care, especially if you like listening to music with earphones.Maybe your mum or dad has told you, "Turn that down before you go deaf!" Well, they are quite right. Loud noise might cause hearing loss for a short time or even forever. Think that earphones are a good way to escape from tour parents’ eyes? Well. It may not be as good a way as you expect. American doctors have studied a group of 44,000 people who used earphones more than 15 hours per week. The doctors found that 37,000 of them were getting hearing problems.If you use earphones for too long a time, your ears might feel painful. You could also lose your hearing for the rest of your life. So don’t wear your earphones too long. Use them less than one hour a day. Want sharp hearing? Don’t forget to do the following Try to stay away from places where there is too much noise, like a disco. If you have to go, wear earplugs. When swimming, remember to put earplugs into your ears to stop water from getting in. Never put anything sharp into your ears. If you think you have too much earwax, ask your mum or dad to help you clean it out.Keep these things in mind! Then you won't be saying "WHAT???" when you are older.5. If you want sharp hearing, you should _____.A. have your ears specially trainedB. often wear earplugs and clean out the earwaxC. take good care of your earsD. choose what you listen to carefullyCIf you are hungry, what will you do? Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? Just like stomach, even your mind will be hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, favorite star and many such absurd things. So it silently begins to hide your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity gets its full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, “Why can’t I think?”, “Why am I always given the difficult problems?” Well, this is the after-effect of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through extensive reading. But why is it reading but not watching TV? Because reading has been the most educational tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to turn to reading for help. You have a number of books in the world which will answer all your “how-to” questions. Once you read a book, you just don’t run your eyes through the lines, but your mind decodes (译解) it and explains it to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed, if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, which you would never thought of in your wildest dreams! This is nothing but creativity. The more books you read, the wider your mind will become. Also this improves your oratorical (speech-making) skills to a large extent and also makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary. When you start speaking English or any other language fluently with your friends or other people, you never seem to run out of the right words at the right time.Actually, I had a problem in speaking English fluently, but as I read, I could improve significantly. So guys, do join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. Now what are you waiting for? Go, grab a book and let me know!6. You don’t know your mind is in hunger because _____.A. you are not hungryB. you keep it thinking of silly thingsC. your creativity gets a full stopD. you always meet with difficult problems7. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the advantage of reading?A. Reading can make your dream come true.B. Reading can contribute to your vocabulary.C. Reading can improve your spoken ability.D. Reading can make people creative.DChinese college students have graduated to find the job market vary from when they entered school and those so-called “hot courses” might fail to land them good jobs.Graduates with different majors have very different experiences in the job market. But degrees in finance, economics and a few other fields often guarantee good jobs.“I have applied to 15 companies online, and most of them show interest in hiring me,” said WangLi, a postgraduate of labor Economics at Southwest University of Finance and Economics in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. He said that all the students of economics, finance and accounting in his university had received at least two job offers.Students of mining and materials science that were not popular before, however, have observed more employment opportunities than before. The employment rate of graduates from the courses was 100 percent at Guizhou University.On the contrary, some so-called “hot courses” including law, journalism and computer science that have received large groups of students, failed them in the job market. Experts said high tuition fee of those courses led to blind enrollment expansion.Another problem which makes it difficult for graduates to find jobs is the gap between school- learned- knowledge and requirements of real career.In 2007, merely 60percent of computer science graduates were employed. Meanwhile, job vacancies in IT industry exceeded one million. IT companies complained about the large amount of money they spend on pre-career training of new employees. They hope universities adjust their courses to better prepare students for their future work.In addition to academic background, employers are looking for college graduateswith a good sense of responsibility. This merit is followed by a sense of team work, ambition, flexibility, eloquence, independence, confidence, pressure-bearing ability, communication skills and so on.8. The graduates with degrees in “hot courses” may have difficulty in finding satisfactory jobs probably because ______________.A. the graduates with such degrees are of poor qualityB. those fields have developed slowly in recent yearsC. there are too many graduates with such degreesD. enterprises will not employ the graduates with such degrees9. The w ords “hot courses” in the first paragraph of this passage refers to “________”.A. law, journalism and computer scienceB. economics, finance and accountingC. mining and materials scienceD. economics, journalism and materials science10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Economics, finance and accounting are no longer “hot” now.B. Quite a number of college students don’t work hard at their lessons.C. The quality of some of the college graduates can not meet the demands of companies.D. Universities have already adjusted their courses to prepare students for their future work.11. The author seems to agree that __________.A. middle school graduates should choose good universities as well as good majorsB. besides academic background, sense of responsibility is also very importantC. university students shouldn’t work hard at their lessonsD. middle school graduates shou ld not choose these “hot courses”。

ideology(意识形态) that biology isdestiny.According to this ideology,basic biological and psychological differences exist betweenthe sexes.These differences require each sex to play a separate role in

holds that women who wish to work outside the household shouldnaturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex.It is appropriate for women,not men,to be employed as nurses,social workers,elementary school teachers,household helpers,clerks and secretaries.These positions are simply an extension of women'sdomestic rmal distinctions between “women's work”and “men's work”in the labor force,according to the ideology,are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes.Finally,the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in

江苏省淮安市新马高级中学高三英语阅读理解细节题专项突破一 Word版缺答案
高三英语阅读理解细节题突破(一)ADuring the Spring and Autumn Period,there was a man in the state of Qin whose name was Sun Yang.Sun Yang was very expert in looking at horses and judging their worth,whatever the horse might be,he could tell whether it was good or bad at first sight.One day,when Sun Yang was passing a place,he noticed that an old horse pulling a cart loaded with salt.He came near,and saw that it was a horse that really could cover a thousand li a day,but the only problem with it was that it was a little too old.Sun Yang felt that the horse was really unjustly treated.When he thought of this,he was so grieved that he shed tears.In order to help more people learn how to appraise horses so that fine horses which could cover a thousand li a day would no longer fall into oblivion(埋没),and also in order to ensure that his unique skill in judging horses would not be lost,Sun Yang wrote a book entitled the Art of Looking at Horses and Judging Their Worth.The book was also illustrated with the pictures of various horses.Sun Yang had a son who,after reading his father's book,thought it was very easy to appraise horses.So he took the book with him to look for fine horses everywhere.At first he searched according to the pictures in the book,and found nothing.Then he searched according to the characteristics described in the book and found a toad(癞蛤蟆)fit very well.So he happily took the toad back home,and said to his father,“Father,I have found a horse that can cover a thousand li a day,only its hoofs(蹄) are not good enough.”Looking at the toad,Sun Yang did not know whether he should laugh or cry.Knowing that his son was stupid,Sun Yang said humorously.“It's a pity that this horse is too fond of jumping to pull a cart.”Then he sighed.That is just what we call looking for a steed with the aid of its picture.1.What's the purpose of Sun Yang writing a book?A.To make much money.B.To help more people buy fine horses.C.To make his skill in judging horses play a great role in the future.D.To help his son judge horses and make a living.BI prefer Lynne Truss's phraseology: I am a grammar “stickler”.And,like Truss—authorof Eats,Shoots & Leaves—I have a “zero tolerance” approach to grammar mistakes that make people look stupid.Now,Truss and I disagree on what it means to have“zero tolerance”.She thinks that people who mix up basic grammar “deserve to be struck by lightning,hacked up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave”,while I just think they deserve to be passed over for a job—even if they are otherwise qualified for the position.Everyone who applies for a position at either of my companies,iFixit or Dozuki,takes a compulsory grammar test.If job hopefuls can't distinguish between“to” and “too”,their applications go into the bin.Of course,we write for a living.iFixit is the world's largest online repair manual(指南),and Dozuki helps companies write their own technical documentation,like paperless work instructions and step-by-step user manuals.So,it makes sense that we've made a strong strike against grammar errors.But grammar is relevant for all companies.Yes,language is constantly changing,but that doesn't make grammar unimportant.Good grammar is credibility,especially on the Internet.And,for better or worse,people judge you if you can't tell the differe nce between “their”“there” and “they're”.Good grammar makes good business sense—and not just when it comes to hiring writers.Writing isn't in the official job description of most people in our office.Still,we give our grammar test to everybody,including our salespeople,our operations staff,and our programmers.Grammar signifies more than just a person's ability to remember high school English.I've found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing—like stocking shelves or labeling parts.It is the same with programmers.Applicants who don't think writing is important are likely to think lots of other things also aren't important.2.The author agrees with Lynne Truss on that ______.A.g rammar mistakes can't be tolerant B.books on grammar make people stupidC.people need to learn basic grammarD.grammar mistakes are absolutely unavoidable3.What's the author's “zero tolerance” approach to these job seekers who mix up basic grammar?A.The y should be left out for a job. B.They have to correct their mistakes.C.They aren't qualified for their jobs.

高三英语阅读理解细节题突破(一)ADuring the Spring and Autumn Period,there was a man in the state of Qin whose name was Sun Yang.Sun Yang was very expert in looking at horses and judging their worth,whatever the horse might be,he could tell whether it was good or bad at first sight.One day,when Sun Yang was passing a place,he noticed that an old horse pulling a cart loaded with salt.He came near,and saw that it was a horse that really could cover a thousand li a day,but the only problem with it was that it was a little too old.Sun Yang felt that the horse was really unjustly treated.When he thought of this,he was so grieved that he shed tears.In order to help more people learn how to appraise horses so that fine horses which could cover a thousand li a day would no longer fall into oblivion(埋没),and also in order to ensure that his unique skill in judging horses would not be lost,Sun Yang wrote a book entitled the Art of Looking at Horses and Judging Their Worth.The book was also illustrated with the pictures of various horses.Sun Yang had a son who,after reading his father's book,thought it was very easy to appraise horses.So he took the book with him to look for fine horses everywhere.At first he searched according to the pictures in the book,and found nothing.Then he searched according to the characteristics described in the book and found a toad(癞蛤蟆)fit very well.So he happily took the toad back home,and said to his father,“Father,I have found a horse that can cover a thousand li a day,only its hoofs(蹄) are not good enough.”Looking at the toad,Sun Yang did not know whether he should laugh or cry.Knowing that his son was stupid,Sun Yang said humorously.“It's a pity that this horse is too fond of jumping to pull a cart.”Then he sighed.That is just what we call looking for a steed with the aid of its picture.1.What's the purpose of Sun Yang writing a book?A.To make much money.B.To help more people buy fine horses.C.To make his skill in judging horses play a great role in the future.D.To help his son judge horses and make a living.BI prefer Lynne Truss's phraseology: I am a grammar “stickler”.And,like Truss—authorof Eats,Shoots & Leaves—I have a “zero tolerance” approach to grammar mistakes that makepeople look stupid.Now,Truss and I disagree on what it means to have“zero tolerance”.She thinks that people who mix up basic grammar “deserve to be struck by lightning,hacked up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave”,while I just think they deserve to be passed over for a job—even if they are otherwise qualified for the position.Everyone who applies for a position at either of my companies,iFixit or Dozuki,takes a compulsory grammar test.If job hopefuls can't distinguish between“to” and “too”,their applications go into the bin.Of course,we write for a living.iFixit is the world's largest online repair manual(指南),and Dozuki helps companies write their own technical documentation,like paperless work instructions and step-by-step user manuals.So,it makes sense that we've made a strong strike against grammar errors.But grammar is relevant for all companies.Yes,language is constantly changing,but that doesn't make grammar unimportant.Good grammar is credibility,especially on the Internet.And,for better or worse,people judge you if you can't tell the differe nce between “their”“there” and “they're”.Good grammar makes good business sense—and not just when it comes to hiring writers.Writing isn't in the official job description of most people in our office.Still,we give our grammar test to everybody,including our salespeople,our operations staff,and our programmers.Grammar signifies more than just a person's ability to remember high school English.I've found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing—like stocking shelves or labeling parts.It is the same with programmers.Applicants who don't think writing is important are likely to think lots of other things also aren't important.2.The author agrees with Lynne Truss on that ______.A.g rammar mistakes can't be tolerant B.books on grammar make people stupidC.people need to learn basic grammarD.grammar mistakes are absolutely unavoidable3.What's the author's “zero tolerance” approach to these job seekers who mix up basic grammar?A.The y should be left out for a job. B.They have to correct their mistakes.C.They aren't qualified for their jobs. D.They must be severely punished.4.Which of the following is TRUE of iFixit and Dozuki?A.Only one of them has a compulsory grammar test.B.They are companies where one learns grammar.C.G rammar is quite important for their existence.D.They depend on grammar correction for a living.5.What can we learn from the text?Apanies giving grammar tests may have no good business sense.B.Grammar becomes unimportant as language is constantly changing.C.A“zero tolerance” approach to grammar errors might seem a little unfair.D.People who pay attention to writing may pay attention to other things.CCitizen science is a term used for projects or ongoing programs of scientific work in which individual volunteers or networks of volunteers,many of whom may have no specific scientific training,perform or manage research-related tasks such as observation,measurement or computation.An example of citizen science is a project called Project BudBurst.Over the past six growing seasons,Project BudBurst has used thousands of volunteer observers.They record when local plants develop their leaves,flowers and fruit.The observations go into a huge database.Then plant scientists can study the data to look for changes over time.Project director Sandra Henderson says participatory science like this is an idea that is growing quickly.For example,people who enjoy astronomy can observe changes in the brightness of a star.People can examine satellite images of Earth to look for sites where archeologists might find the lost tomb of Genghis Khan,the Mongolian warrior and ruler.Or someone interested in orca whales can listen to underwater microphones and let researchers know when the whales are present.Thousands of Americans and Canadians volunteered to count birds this past migration season as part of Project FeederWatch.Another area where citizen science has grown is in testing water.Amanda Bruner coordinates SoundCitizen,a project based at the University of Washington campus in Tacoma.It keeps track of pollutants in Puget Sound.Some people,including scientists,still question whether average citizens can collect reliable data.New digital tools can help settle questions about data quality,and make it easier for people to take part in citizen science.Public health research is another area where average citizens are getting involved—in some cases,whether researchers like it or not.The idea is for the public to have a voice in how public health studies are done.There is even a saying for this kind of activism:“No more research about us without us.”6.Who are the participants involved in citizen science?A.Professional scientists who have retired.B.The public showing interest in some science projects.C.Citizens who have specific scientific training.D.Students wanting to be scientists.7.What can help get reliable data in citizen science?A.Specific scientific training.
