Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress codewill be Sunday best.But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware (粗陶) and stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts andguests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, itspells economic hard times.Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is eliminating1,000 jobs -- one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4, 000 the numberof positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷) region. Wedgwood and other pottery factoriesmade cuts earlier.Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs inStoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that thecompany "has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend" toward casual dining. Families eat togetherless often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat infront of television.Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time oflong work hours anddemanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it's better to share a takeout pizzaon paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a "real" dinner party.Too often, the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Polish thesilver? Who has time?Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette (礼节) that childrenmight once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents(" Chew with your mouth closed." "Keep your elbows off the table. ") must be picked up else-where. Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be able professionallybut inexperienced socially.72. Why do people tend to follow the trend to casual dining?A. Family members need more time to relax.B. Busy schedules leave people no time for formality.C. People prefer to live a comfortable life.D. Young people won't follow the etiquette of the older generation.73. It can be learned from the passage that 'Royal Doulton is .A. a seller of stainless steel tablewareB. a dealer in stonewareC. a pottery chain storeD. a producer of fine China74. The main cause of the layoffs in the pottery industry is .A. the increased value of the poundB. the worsening economy in AsiaC.the change in people's way of lifeD. the fierce competition at home and abroad75. Formal table manners, though less popular than before in current Social life, .A.are still a must on certain occasionsB. are certain to return sooner or laterC. are still being taught by parents at homeD. can help improve personal relationships2When Johnny Cash sings, people listen. His big, deep voice rumbles out of radios and juke-boxes across North America. His records sell by the million. Country-music fans everywhere, knowhis big hits. They love songs like "Hey Porter", "Ring of Fire", and "Folsom Prison Blue".Johnny Cash sings about a hundred concerts a year. People like what they hear--and whatthey see, too. Rugged and big-shouldered, the singer stands six-two without his black boots on.He's a two-hundred-pound package of muscle and talent. And that scar(疤痕)on his cheek? It'sa bullet(子弹)hole, of course!In the minds of most people, Johnny Cash is "Mr Tough( violent) Guy". He's an ex-drugaddict (上瘾者)who was once put in prison. His grandmother was an Indian. To keep from starvinghe once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife. Some people say heeven killed a man.In fact, most of the Johnny Cash story is just that--a story. True, years ago he had a "drughabit "for a short time. He "popped" pills. But he never used heroin or other "hard "drugs. Some-times he'd go wild and get locked up for a few hours . But he never served a prison sentence.There's no Indian blood in his veins. He's been a killer only in song. As for the"bullet hole",it's an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst(囊肿).People who know Johnny Cash well say he's a "gentle guy", a "generous guy'--anything buta "tough guy". How did the stories get started? Some of them, like the story about the "Indiangrandmother", he made up long ago to add excitement to his career. Others , like the "bullethole" , simply got started. Now there's little the singer can do to change people's minds. "Theyjust want to believe it," he says.56. Johnny Cash is a favorite of many .A. opera loversB. country music fansC. hard-rock fansD. jazz music lovers57. In truth, Johnny Cash .A. invented the "Indian grandmother"B. used to kill rabbits for a livingC. had a bullet hole on his cheekD. served a long prison sentence58. In his private life, Johnny Cash is, .A. much wilder than he looksB. much smaller than he is on stageC. much tougher than he is in publicD. much more gentle than most people suppose59. The passage shows us that many people believe .A. only what they seeB. what they are sure is trueC. only what they hearD. what they find interestingB3Do dogs understand us?Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had workedout the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!60. From paragraph 2 we know that __ .A. animals are as clever as human beingsB. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzeesC. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skillsD. dogs have similar 'learning abilities as 3-year-old children61. Both experiments show that .A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands rightB. Rico can recognize different things including toysC. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematicsD. Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them62. Which of the following statements is true?A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities.B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.D. Rico is born to understand its owner's commands.63. What does the writer want to tell us?A. To train your dog.B. To talk to your dog.C. To be friendly to your dog.D. To be careful with your dog.4Paynes Prairie(used)Have you ever heard of Paynes Prairie? It is one of the most important natural and historical areas in Florida. Paynes Prairie is located near Gainesville. It is large, 21 000 acres. This protected land is called a preserve. The Florida Park Service manage the preserve.The Paynes Prairie basin was formed when limestone dissolved and the ground settled. It is covered by marsh(沼泽)and wet prairie vegetation. There are areas of open water. During brief periods it has flooded enough to be considered a lake. Except for that, the basin has changed little through time.Man has lived on Paynes Prairie a very long time. He lived there as far back as 10000 B. C. At one time, the Seminoles lived there. The prairie is thought to have been named after King Payne, a Seminole chief. During the late 1600s, thelargest cattle ranch in Florida was on Paynes Prairie. Today, Paynes Prairie is preserved land . It is occupied by visitors and Florida Park Service employees.Willam Bartram visited Paynes Praire. Bartram was the first person who portrayed (described)nature through personal experience as well as scientific observation. He lived 200 years ago. He visited Paynes Prairie in 1774. At that time he described it. He called Paynes Prairie the "great Alachua Savannah."Most of the animal life, which Bartram described, is still here. A large number of sandhill cranes, hawks and waterfowl are here in winter. The animal diversity is increased by the presence of pine flatwoods, hammock, swamps and ponds.The Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park is open year round. The Florida Park Service works hard so that the park will appear as it did in the past. It offers many opportunities for recreation. At the park you can camp and picnic. You can hike and bike. You can boat and fish. You can ride on horse trails. And you can see lots of nature and wildlife. You can see Florida as it was in the early days.Paynes Prairie is a part of our Florida history. It is an example of our Florida natural resources. It is a place for recreation. Paynes Prairie is an important experience of the Real Florida.64. How was the Paynes Prairie basin formed?A. By the Seminole Indians.B. By the Florida Park Service.C. From dissolved limestone and the ground settling.D. From lots of flooding and wet prairie vegetation.65.

The purpose of the passage is to .A. call on people to protect widlifeB. attract people to this preserved parkC. show you the formation of Paynes PrairieD. introduce the recorded history of Paynes Prairie5NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce ,or possibly erase(抹去),the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, While others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories."Some memories can ruin people's lives . They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past."All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memoriesout, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.68. The passage is mainly about .A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of erasing painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill69. The drug tested on people can .A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. Wipe out the emotional effects of memories70. We can infer from the passage that .A. people doubt the effects of the pillsB. the pill will stop people's bad experiencesC. taking the pill will do harm to people's healthD. the pill has probably been produced in America71. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.6What's your dream vacation? Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world. So we visit travel agents, compare packages and prices ,and pay our money.We know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else? It's true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them.It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people wereforced to leave their homes among the pagodas(佛塔)in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood and dignity.Local workers often find only menial(卑微的)jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the profits do not help the local economy. Instead, profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries, When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to city slums. Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing for photos.Problems like these were Observed more that 20 years ago. But now some non-government organizations, tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure.The result is responsible tourism, or “ethical tourism.”Ethical tourism has people at its heart. New international agreements and codes of conduct can help protect the people's lands, homes, economies and cultures.The beginnings are small, though, and the problems are complex.But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us, can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages.They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotel, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy.And they can involve the local people in planning and managing tourism.What can tourists do? First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while we're abroad, we can:Buy local foods and products, not imported ones.Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price.Avoid flaunting wealth.Ask before taking photographs of people.They are not just part of the landscape!Let's enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too.72. What is probably the best title for the article?A. Tourism Causes Bad Effects.B. Tourism Calls for Good Behavior.C. Vacations Bring a Lot of Fun.D. Vacations Cost More Than You Think73. Which of the following is not mentioned?A. Local people were well paid to leave their lands.B. Tourists may stay in hotels opened by local people.C. Local people are mainly provided with low-paying work.D. Tourists could bargain with local people for a reasonable price.74. The underlined phrase "take heart" means" ".A. pay attentionB. take careC. cheer upD. calm down75. According to the passage, the writer thinks .A. tourism is not a promising industryB. dream vacations should be spent abroadC. the problems caused by tourism are easy to settleD. tourists should respect local customs and culture7Robert Owen was born in Wales in 1771. At the age of ten he went to work. His employer had a large private library so Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintendent(监工) at a Manchester cotton mill. He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark mill in Scotland.When he arrived at New Lanark it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobody paid any attention to the workers' houses or their children's education. The conditions in the factories were very bad. There was a lot of crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He opened a shop and sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the children's education. In 1816 he opened the first free primary school in Britain.People came from all over the country to visit Owen's factory. They saw that the workers were healthier and more efficient than in other towns. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825,but the community was too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. Above all he believed that people are not born good or bad. He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. "If you give people good working conditions," he thought, "they will work well and, themost important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people."56. For Owen, his greatest achievement in New Lanark was _____________.A. improving worker's housesB. helping people to save moneyC. preventing men from getting drunkD.providing the children with a good education57. From the passage we may infer that Owen was born ___________.A. into a rich familyB. into a noble familyC. into a poor familyD. into a middle class family58. Owen's experiment in the United States failed because _______.A. he lost all his moneyB. he did not buy enough landC. people who visited it were not impressedD. it was too far away for him to organize it properly59. We may infer form the passage that no children in Britain could enjoy free education until ____.A. 1771B. 1816C. 1825D. 18608Do you want to improve the way you study? Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say that a lack of concentration (注意力) is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results.If so, use these tips to help you.Study Techniques●You should always study in the same place. You shouldn’t sit in a positionthat you use foranother purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Don’t watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.●Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface.Position yourbook at an angle of 30 degrees.●Be realistic and don’t try to complete too much in one study period. Finishone thing beforebeginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.Test-taking Skills●All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test.Getting plenty ofrest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.●Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise everyday will alsoimprove your concentration. Eat healthy food too.When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly anddeeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.65. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. You should study in a different place every day, so you don’t get bored.B. Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.C. Check the time during the exam at a certain time.D. Staying up all night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot using thismethod.66. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A. Your study desk or table.B. Your textbook.C. Your dictionary.D. The equipment you need.67. What can be inferred from the passage?A. You shouldn’t look at everyone else during the test.B. You will have enough energy to deal with your study and exams by eatinghealthy diet.C. You’ll concentrate more if there is nothing to distract you.D. If you feel tired during study, you can walk around for a few minutes.9On June 17, 1774, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day they refused the offer as follows: We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the college of the northern provinces: they were taught all your sciences; but when they came back to us, they were bad manners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods – they were totally good for nothing.We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them all we know, and make men of them.68. The passage is about ____.A. the talk between the Indians and the officialsB. the colleges of the northern provincesC. the educational values of the IndiansD. the problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteen century69. The Indian chief’s purpose of writing the letter seems to be to ____.A. politely refuse a friendly offerB. express their opinions on equal treatmentC. show their prideD. describe Indian customs70. According to the letter, the Indians believed that ____.A. it would be better for their boys to receive some schoolingB. they were being insulted by the offerC. they knew more about science than the officialsD. they had better way of educating young men71. Different from the officials’ view of education, the Indians thought ____.A. young women should also be educatedB. they had different goals of educationC. they taught different branches of scienceD. they should teach the sons of the officials first10Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients(contents) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores ar en’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.72. All the following statements are true about th e phrase “ordinary items” inParagraph 2 except ____.A. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural”B. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brandsC. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary itemsD. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands73. What does the writer think about ads?A. They are believable.B. They are attractive.C. They are full of misinformation.D. They are helpful to consumers.74. One of the author’s suggestions to consumers is ____.。

高中英语素养阅读限时练习（高二上13）（附答案详细解析）（建议用时：40分钟）When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as wild cats or dogs. Other images show birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering(数目超过) all other animals.Early artists drawing these animals finished a meaningful and difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing high walls or going into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex(建筑群). Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed (暴露) to the destructive(破坏性的) action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside.Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images are in a bad situation and are barely (几乎不能) recognizable. To prevent further damage, the place was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.1. The underlined phrase “pays heed to” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.A. discoversB. watchesC. noticesD. affects2. According to the text, which animals appear most often on the cave walls?A. Birds.B. Wild dogs.C. Horses.D. Wild cats.3. Why was painting inside the Lascaux complex a difficult task?A. It was completely dark inside.B. The caves were full of wild animals.C. Painting materials were hard to find.D. Many painting spaces were difficult to reach.4. What could be the best title for the text?A. Wild Animals in ArtB. Hidden Prehistoric PaintingsC. Exploring Caves RespectfullyD.

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解A great number of species make their home in the vast waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Although the entire ocean makes up an ecosystem, many smaller habitats are found within, including an open-water habitat off the coast of the Northern Atlantic Ocean known as the Sargasso Sea. Sargassum is an alga(海藻) that floats in masses that can continue for miles. The waters of the Gulf Stream push the water in a northward move into this area. This constant move and varying temperature support the accumulation of the brown-colored seaweed.The Sargasso Sea is so enormous that one method of information collection has not been enough for scientists to obtain an accurate picture of what takes place within this ecosystem. Researchers have needed to employ several methods of sampling. Methods such as dragging nets over the surface of the water and videotaping beneath areas of sargassum have served scientists well. Information collected has shown that the Gulf Stream pushes brown algae from open water into the Sargasso Sea area, creating a diverse floating habitat in an area that would otherwise not support that wildlife.In the most recent study of the sargassum community off the shores of North Carolina, eighty-one fish species were documented as using the area as a microhabitat. This is an increase from previous studies. The types of fish found here are both commercially and environmentally important. The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council is working to regulate the harvesting of sargassum. The Council hopes to have the area classified as an Essential Fish Habitat. Which would afford it certain protections.Further research needs to be done before scientists understand how to best protect the Sargasso Sea as well as understand how it goes about supporting so many important types of wildlife.（1）The author uses "enormous" in paragraph 2 to stress that .A. the Atlantic Ocean is really amazing in terms of its size and areaB. what the researchers do is highly respected by scientific communityC. the research work is complex because a large area must be coveredD. a large amount of money for the Sargasso Sea research is needed（2）It can be inferred from the phrase "needed to be done" in paragraph 4 that the author thinks .A.the Sargasso ecosystem is worth our attention and needs more studyB.the scientific community has ignored this complex ecosystemC.the Sargasso Sea is becoming a problem and needs removingD.new methods for researching the ecosystem must be found instantly（3）The text is mainly about .A.diversity of wildlife in the Atlantic OceanB.different habitats of sea animalsC.methods of information collectionD.the Sargasso Sea as an entire ecosystem【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了马尾藻海这个完整的生态系统，非常巨大以至于一种信息收集方法不足以让科学家准确了解这个生态系统中发生的情况，这里发现的鱼类种类在商业和环境上都很重要。

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry and so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?" "You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness." He said, "Then I thank you from my heart."As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.Years later, that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled (困惑). They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists(专家) to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation (会诊). When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and wentdown the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctor's gown, he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day, he gave special attention to the case. After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly asked the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, and then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all.

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。

高考题型提能练十三 Unit 13 PeopleⅠ.阅读理解A(2016·邯郸高三质检)Since Henry Ford turned it into a massmarket product a century ago, the car has delivered many benefits. It has promoted economic growth, increased social mobility and given people a lot of fun. But the car has also brought many problems. It pollutes the air, creates traffic jams and kills people. An astonishing 1.24 million people die, and as ma ny as 50 million are hurt, in road accidents each year.Drivers and passengers waste around 90 billion hours in traffic jams each year. In some carchoked cities as much as a third of the petrol used is burned by people looking for a space to park.Fortunately, a new technology promises to make motoring safer, less polluting and less tendency to holdups. “Connected cars” — which may eventually develop into driverless cars but for the foreseeable future will still have a human at the wheel — can communicate wirelessly with each other and with traffic management systems, avoid walkers and other vehicles and find open parking spots.Some parts of the transformation are already in place. Many new cars are already being fitted with equipment that lets them keep their distance and stay in a motorway automatically at a range of speeds. Soon, all new cars in Europe will hav e to be able to warn the emergency services if their onboard sensors (传感器) discover a crash. Singapore has led the way with using variable tolls (道路通行费) to smooth traffic flows during rush hours; Britain is pioneering “smart motorways”， whose speed limits vary constantly to achieve a_similar_effect. These new inventions could create a much more h ighly effective system in which cars and their drivers are constantly warned of dangers and showed the ways. Traffic always flows at the proper speed and vehicles can travel closer together, yet with less risk of crashing.In the past, more people driving meant more roads, more jams, more death and more pollution. In future, the connected car could offer mankind the pleasures of the road with rather less of the pain.1.According to Paragraph 2, the problem of parking has resulted in ________.A.more time on the roadB.a great waste of fuelC.even heavier traffic jamsD.increased death and injuries2.What does “a similar effect” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.Reducing traffic jams.B.Building smart motorways.C.Setting proper speed limits.D.Keeping steady traffic flows.3.What is the author's attitude towards connected cars?A.Curious.B.Doubtful.C.Supportive.D.Disappointed.4.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.The Future of Cars: Wireless WheelsB.The Future Traffic Management SystemC.The Benefits and Problems of CarsD.The Promising Future of Car ProductionB(2016·江西省九校联合考试)If you have an allergy to some food, even a very tiny bit of food can make you sick. Lots of kids have food allergies — about 3 million in the United States alone.The foods that cause the most food allergies include peanuts and other nuts; seafood, such as shrimp; milk, particularly cow's milk; eggs; wheat.What Is a Food Allergy?Food allergies occur when your immune system makes a mistake. Usually, your immune system protects you from germs and disease. It does this by making antibodies that help you fight off bacteria, viruses, and other tiny organisms that can make you sick. But if you have a food al lergy, your immune system mistakenly treats something in a certain food as if it's really dangerous to you.What's a Reaction Like?In the most serious cases, a food allergy can cause anaphylaxis (过敏症). This is a sudden, severe allergic reaction in which several problems occur all at once and can involve the skin, breathing, digestion, the heart and blood vessels. A person's blood pressure can drop, breathing tubes can narrow and the tongue can swell. People at risk for this kind of reaction have to be very careful and need a plan for handling emergencies, when they might need to get special medicine to stop these symptoms from getting worse.What Will the Doctor Do?If you think you may be allergic to a certain food, let your parents know. They will take you to the doctor to get it checked out. If your doctor thinks you might have a food allergy, he or she will probably send you to see a doctor who specializes in allergies. The allergy specialist will ask you about past reactions and how long it takes between eating the food and getting the symptom, such as hives. The allergist also may ask about whether anyone else in your family has allergies or other allergyrelated conditions. The allergist may also want to do a skin test. This is a way of seeing how your body reacts to a very small amount of the food that is givi ng you trouble.5.According to the passage, you will have a food allergy when your immune system ________.A.recognizes tiny organisms in a certain foodB.mistakenly makes antibodies to help fight off something in a certain foodC.prevents something harmful in the food from entering your digestive systemD.releases chemicals to remove harmful things in a certain food6.In the sudden and severe allergic reaction, which of the following may happen?A.Blood pressure rising.B.Lips swelling.C.Breathing difficulty.D.Heart beating becoming slow.7.Which of the following suggestions is given to those at risk of severe allergic reaction?A.Taking medicine as soon as an al lergic reaction appears.B.Avoiding eating any food when going outside.C.Always carrying with special medicine for possible symptoms.D.Preparing a plan for dealing with emergencies ahead of time.8.What will an allergist do to check your food allergy out?A.Ask you about the allergyassociated information.B.Give you some medicine right away.C.Enquire about your present feeling towards the food.D.Give you a shot of liquid extract of food.CStressed? It is shown in recent research that walking o r cycling to work calms you down (traveling by bus or train is also better than driving).Walking to work reduces stress and improves brain power, researchers say. Adults who stopped driving the car and started walking or cycling became calmer and found it easier to concentrate. A study of 18,000 Britons found that going to work by train or bus improved their wellbeing compared with driving.The study, published in the journal Preventive Medicine, also found that the longer people spent walking or cycling, the happier or less stressed they were. However, stress levels and inability to concentrate worsened if they spent more time in the car.Lead researcher Adam Martin, from the University of East Anglia's Norwich Medical School, said that despite the crowds and disruption, walking to bus stops or stations and being able to relax on the journey “cheer people up”. Two thirds drive to work, 18 percent use public transport, 11 percent walk and 3 percent cycle.A research earlier this year found that commuters (乘公共车辆往返者) had small but statistically significant lower scores on all measures of wellbeing. The worst effects were witnessed in those whose journeys last between 61 and 90 minutes. But when commuting time reaches three hours or more, the negative effects disappear, the report said.“The effects of commuting on personal wellbeing are the greatest for anxiety and happiness, suggesting that commuting affects daytoday emotions more than overall evaluations of satisfaction with life or the sense that daily activities are worthwhile，” the repo rt stated.Dr Daniel Newman, from Cardiff University's Sustainable Places Research Institute, said, “This report says that many of us, who spend mornings and eveningssitting in traffic jam, already know: commuting can be a chore.”9.What can be learned from Paragraph 1?A.Driving for long drives people crazy.B.Feeling stressed can be predicted.C.Walking to work helps reduce stress.D.Travelling by bus makes people excited.10.Walking to work is something ________.A.preferred by most peopleB.easier to perform in daily lifeC.making people more creativeD.beneficial to the sense of happiness11.What does the underlined word “chore” probably mean?A.Tiresome task.B.Amazing challenge.C.Meaningless thing.D.Financial trouble.12.What type of writing is this text?A.A scientific report.B.A transportation guide.C.A policy announcement.D.A new lifestyle introduction.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(2016·石家庄市复习教学质量检测)You want your essay to be the one that is passed around the admissions office or not? It's a little bit like the difference between being famous and infamous. Here are some basic tips to avoid that infamous essay：● Don't write the “safe” essay.1.________ It could be something that others have also experienced, but make sure to say how it affected you. Something personal and unique never fails to stand out.● Avoid the generic and get specific.Never write that you're “well rounded” or that “many people have influenced” you. 2.________ Real and specific experiences are a lot more convincing than something you copy from the Internet.●3.________There is no need to share your participation level (hours per week and weeks per year) because colleges ask for that information on your activity list. It is important for the students to use every opportunity to show who they are and impress the admissions office.● Don't talk about rankings.Many students love focu sing on the numbers when they are writing their “why this college” essay. They believe they are flattering (讨好) the college by saying the reason why they want to attend is that the college is highly ranked in US News & World Report. Obviously schools are aware of their rankings. 4.________● Don't complain.If you have gone through difficult circumstances, you should share your story. Don't point fingers. 5.________ A better essay will talk about how you have dealt with, and hopefully overcome the obstacles you came across.A.It's important to show patience and determination.B.This applies to all types of essays.C.Don't forget about the activity list.D.Pick a topic that only you can write about.E.They just want to know why you want to attend.F.Don't repeat information that is elsewhere in your application.G.Tell the reader what you've done, how you've been influenced, and by whom.Ⅲ.语法填空(2016·河南三市第二次联考)As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past few 1.________ (century), a new electrical generating and transmission system for the 21st century will leave a 2.________ (last) mark on the West, for better or worse.

高中英语阅读理解练习题(有答案)doc

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解It seems that electronic devices just keep getting smaller. Scientists in the United States have announced the creation of the first transistor with only two dimensions(二维).A transistor is a small electronic device that transfers or carries electronic current. Scientists hope these new 2D transistors will be used for building high-resolution(高分辨率)displays that need very little energy.Two groups of scientists created these 2D transistors. They report that the transistors are only a few atoms thick.Usually transistors are made with the element silicon(硅). Computer processors, memory chips, TV screens and other electronic devices contain billions of silicon-based transistors. But these very small electrical parts have certain limitations.Dimitris Ioannou is an electrical engineering professor at George Mason University. He says the traditional transistor has been improved as much as it can be. He adds that researchers have been looking for new materials with special features and they want transistors to be seen through and soft."If the layers are very thin, the transistor can become flexible, so it doesn't have to be rigid(坚硬的), like it would be in a silicon chip. So people can think of applications like wearable electronics, television screens and other things," said Ioannou.These new transistors can also carry higher current. They also can move the current much faster than traditional transistors. This is important for high-definition screens.Dimitris Ioannou says the scientific success could prove very useful in the future. "Now, how good and how useful it will be, it's still in the stage of research, but it certainly is an advance," said Ioannou.（1）Which of the following statements about the newly created transistor is TRUE?A.They are expected to be used in high-resolution displays.B.The transistors are made with the element silicon.C.They are rigid, just like traditional transistors.D.They have already been put into actual use.（2）What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?A.The traditional transistors have been changed into two-dimensional ones.B.Many of the traditional transistors have been improved over the years.C.The traditional transistor has been developed to its fullest.D.The traditional transistor has been developed quite well.（3）What is Dimitris Ioannou's attitude towards the creation of the new transistors?A.Negative.B.Neutral.C.Indifferent.D.Positive.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，美国科学家发明了新的二维晶体管，介绍了新型二维晶体管的相关信息及未来前景。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解A typical child plays many roles, such as friend, neighbor, son or daughter. Simply reminding children of that fact can lead to better problem-solving and more flexible thinking, according to new research from Duke University.Better problem-solving was just one positive finding of the study, said lead author Sarah Gaither, an assistant professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke. After thinking about their own various identities, children also showed more flexible thinking about race and other social groupings—a behavior that could be valuable in an increasingly diverse society.In a series of experiments, Gaither and her colleagues looked at 196 children, ages 6 and 7. In an experiment, one group of children was reminded that they had various identities, such as son, daughter, reader or helper. A second group of children was reminded of their multiple physical attributes, such as a mouth, arms and legs. All the children then needed to handle a few tasksChildren who were reminded of their various identities showed stronger problem-solving and creative thinking skills. When shown pictures of a bear staring at honey-filled beehive(蜂窝)high up in a tree, these children had more creative ideas for how the bear might get the honey, such as turning over a bowl so that it became a stool(凳子). In other words, they saw a new use for the bowl. Children who were reminded of their multiple roles also showed more flexible thinking about social groupings. When asked to categorize different photos of faces, they suggested many ways to Spso. They identified smiling faces such as unsmiling ones, and old and young faces. The other children, meanwhile, primarily grouped people's faces by race and gender(性别).The-study suggests ways to promote flexible thinking for the young, which could be especially valuable for teachers." Gaither said."We have this tendency in our society to only think about ourselves in connection with one important group at a time," Gaither said. "When kids think that they have various identities, they show greater abilities."（1）What are all the kids asked to do in the experiments?A.Play different kinds of roles.B.Remind others of their roles.C.Approach several tasks.D.Classify a group of tasks.（2）How does the author mainly clarify the conclusions of the study in paragraph 4?A.By giving examples.B.By using experts' words.C.By listing a few figures.D.By showing cause and effect.（3）What can we learn from Sarah Gaither's words?A.Improving 5 kids flexible thinking ability is important teaching.B.Kids tend to behave selflessly after thinking about their roles.C.Kids' creative thinking ability is easy to discover and develop.D.Teachers are supposed to make the most of the kids' flexibility.（4）What is the best title for the text?A.Kids' Social Abilities Are Consistent with. Their Education.B.Considering Their Various Roles Improves Kids' Abilities.C.Kids Have a Variety of Identities in Their Daily Life.D.Problem-solving Ability Is Necessary for Most Kids.【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了让孩子知道自己有不同的角色可以提高孩子解决问题的能力和创造性思维能力。

2014高考英语阅读理解冲刺满分训练（13）阅读理解-----AWhen first entered, Vanda Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant, but once the pleasant smells of kabob （烤肉串）hit the senses, you are incapable of calling it anything less.Owned by a local couple, this Persian restaurant has an inviting, homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack.The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration, but the environment is truly chaining.Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner, the restaurant still attracts all customer especially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking.A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics, watching news events on TV, drinking a black tea known as Persian chair, an reading local Persian newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plates piled wit food.The variety of food at the restaurant is limited, but the amount of each dish is fairly large. Most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10, so not only is it affordably but practical as well.The food, especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy, made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill（烤肉架）.The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs, which are different style of grilled meat.One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Josiah Kabob, which is made of grille chicken picks served with either rice or bread.

第三段首句the space is small与A矛盾；第四段首句hardly noticeable street corner与B矛盾；第五段首句talking loudly(也是第57题D选项的错误原因)与D矛盾Pop stars today enjoy a style of living which was once the prerogative only of Royalty. Wherever they go, people turn out in their thousands to greet them. The crowds go wild trying to catch a brief glimpse of their smiling, colorfully dressed idols. The stars are transported in their chauffeur driven Rolls-Royces, private helicopters or executive aeroplanes. They are surrounded by a permanent entourage of managers, press agents and bodyguards. Photographs of them appear regularly in the press and all their comings and goings are reported, for, like Royalty, pop stars are news. If they enjoy many of the privileges of Royalty, they certainly share many of the inconveniences as well. It is dangerous for them to make unscheduled appearances in public. They must be constantly shielded from the adoring crowds which idolize them. They are no longer private individuals, but public property. The financial rewards they receive for this sacrifice cannot be calculated, for their rates of pay are astronomical.And why not? Society has always rewarded its top entertainers lavishly. The great days of Hollywood have become legendary: famous stars enjoyed fame, wealth and adulation on an unprecedented scale. By today’s standards, the excesses of Hollywood do not seem quite so spectacular. A single gramophone record nowadays may earn much more in royalties than the films of the past ever did. The competition for the title ‘Top of the Pops’ is fierce, but the rewards are truly colossal.It is only right that the stars should be paid in this way. Don’t the top men in industry earn enormous salaries for the services they perform to their companies and their countries? Pop stars earn vast sums in foreign currency – often more than large industrial concerns – and the taxman can only be grateful fro their massive annual contributions to the exchequer. So who would begrudge them their rewards?It’s all very well for people in humdrum jobs to moan about the suc cesses and rewards of others.People who make envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent only the tip of the iceberg. For every famous star, there are hundreds of others struggling to earn a living. A man working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no right to expect very high rewards. He has chosen security and peace of mind, so there will always be a limit to what he can earn. But a man who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks. He knows at the outset that only a handful of competitors ever get to the very top. He knows that years of concentrated effort may be rewarded with complete failure. But he knows, too, that the rewards for success are very high indeed: they are the recompense for the huge risks involved and if he achieves them, he has certainly earned them. That’s the essence of private enterprise.1.The sentence Pop stars’ style of living was once the prerogative only of Royalty means[A] their life was as luxurious as that of royalty.They enjoy what once only belonged to the royalty.[C] They are rather rich.[D] Their way of living was the same as that of the royalty.2.What is the author’s attitude toward top stars’ high income?[A] Approval.Disapproval.[C] Ironical.[D] Critical.3.It can be inferred from the passage[A] there exists fierce competition in climbing to the top.People are blind in idolizing stars.[C] Successful Pop stars give great entertainment.[D] The tax they have paid are great.4.What can we learn from the passage?[A] Successful man should get high-income repayment.Pop stars made great contribution to a country.[C] Pop stars can enjoy the life of royalty.[D] Successful men represent the tip of the iceberg.5.Which paragraph covers the main idea?[A] The first.The second.[C] The third.[D] The fourth.Vocabulary1.prerogative 权力，（尤指）特权2.chauffeur 受雇开车人，（尤指富人、要人的）司机3.entourage 随行人员，伴随者，近侍；建筑物周围4.astronomical 庞大的，天文的5.adulation 奉承6.gramophone 灌音7.colossal 巨大的8.exchequer 国库，财源Exchequer Bond 国库债券9.begrudge 感到不快/不满，忌妒10.humdrum 平淡的，单调的11.moan 呻吟声moan about 发牢骚难句译注1.the prerogative of Royalty或the royal prerogative皇家的特权（再英国指国王名义上享有不经议会认可而采取行动的权力）。
