Digging a Hole in China's Black Gold.China's love affair with coal is set to last, but for investors the romance has come out of the relationship.For th e last few years, investors in China's coal section have been mining a rich seam(煤层). From the beginning of 2005 to the end of 2011, the level Qinhuangdao coal price rose 81%, supporting strong growth in profitability (利润)and enviable degree at mining majors like China Shenhua Energy.But as an y miner will tell you, the longer you work a seam, the more difficult it is to get value. China's coal prices have fallen nearly 10% in the last three months. A seasonal fall from the winter peak, and a cyclical（周期性的）slowdown brought about by China's slowing construction and money tightening, is only part of the picture. Those effects will fade, but coal miners will still have to battle against structural pressure for lower prices.In 2008, China's 60 biggest miners the efficient excellences from a section with 9,000-plus firms accounted for just over half of civil production. Since then, the big have gotten bigger and the small are disappearing. Michael Parker, coal mining analyst at Sanford Bernstein, estimates in 2012 the top 60 miners will account for 80% of output.The assumptio n has always been that it's the very low-cost little mining operations that will go to the wall, pushing prices up. In fact, Mr. Parker argues that it's small industrial operations working difficult seams, and with poor access to convey that will be the first to go. The exit of these high-cost means that spot prices will increasingly be set by bigger more efficient producers and that means pressure for prices to stay low.With struct ural forces against a return to rising coal prices, investors in China's black gold should dig a huge stone hit their foot into a hole.1. Which is the general idea of this passage?A.Why it is difficult for China’s coal price to increase.B. China's 60 biggest miners the efficient excellences.C. the romance has come out of the relationship.D. the low-cost little operations that will fail.2. What is the investors’ attitude to China’s coal?A. angry.B. disappointed.C. not excited.D. very excited.3.Which is a re ason f or t he last few years’ Chinese investors feeling glad?A. poor access to transport that will be the first to go.B. investors in China's black gold got much money.C. spot prices will be set by bigger producers.D. coal price rose 81%.4.The cause that led to a cyclical slowdown of coal price was______.A. strong g rowth in profitability.B. China's money tightening and slowing construction.C. China's 60 biggest miners.D. the small are disappearing.5. The word “convey” in the fifth paragraph may mean ______.A.transport.B. change.C. reduce.D. increase.本文为说明文，主要介绍中国的煤炭价格为何难以上涨，并具体分析其原因。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read."The history of the world is but the biography (传记) of great men," argued Thomas Carlyle, the advocate of what has come to be known as the "Great Man Theory of History." This theory suggests that the broader movements and outline of history all go back to the leadership of great individuals who had unique influence on their times. Whether or not Carlyle's theory proves true is debatable, but that certain individuals cast long shadows is not.As one who is entrusted with a leadership position, I find it profitable to read of others who have led. Wherever you find me, you'll likely find a good biography nearby. Why is this the case? First, I find good biographies fascinating. I'll occasionally read a novel, but I've never been overly drawn to fiction. I have found myself unable to sleep while in the struggle of the Battle of Britain in William Manchester's The Last Lion. For me, not to read biographies would rob me of pleasure in my life.Second, I find good biographies informative. A good biographer tells not only the story of a person, but also of their times. Reading a good biography is like wandering through an intellectual shopping mall. The first store is what drew you there, but you will be pleasantly surprised along the way at what other items grab your attention. You'll find no better account of the British Empire at its peak than the opening chapters of Manchester's Visions of Glory, volume one of his The Last Lion. Strictly speaking, a biography is but a slice of history.Third, I find good biographies relaxing. Winston Churchill once noted a man who works with his hands should have a hobby that engages his mind, and a man who works with his mind should have a hobby that engages his hands. Another way to apply Churchill's saying is to combine technical, pen-in-hand vocational reading with leisurely biographical reading. Indeed, few things are more relaxing to me than winding down the evening and entering into another world.This is why I love reading good biographies, and why I pity the person who neglects them. Don't be counted among their number.（1）What is implied in the first paragraph?A. The author finds Carlyle's theory undebatable.B. Carlyle believes great men alone cannot create history.C. It is debatable whether one should read great men's biographies.D. The author agrees that history is greatly influenced by certain men.（2）What does the underlined phrase "other items" in the third paragraph refer to?A. good biographiesB. stories of certain timesC. the volumes of The Last LionD. the chapters of the British Empire（3）Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The author considers biographical reading enjoyable.B. The author can travel to another world in the evening.C. The author has fought many battles during his lifetime.D. The author profits commercially by reading biographies.（4）What is the author's main purpose in writing the article?A. To analyze the benefits of vocational reading.B. To introduce to readers his unique reading strategies.C. To present great men's history through biography reading.D. To recommend biography reading through his own experiences.【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者阐述了喜欢读好的传记的原因。

“The firs t and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful,” says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses(冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral(道德) freedom.A single angry word has lost many friends. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad.”“Keep cool,” says Webster, “anger is not argument.” “Be calm in arguing,” says George Herbert, “for fierceness(狂怒) makes error a fault.”To be angry with a wea k man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “brings with folly and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.Self-control is man’s last and greatest victory.If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.1. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. The importance of self- control.B. How to conquer oneself?C. The relation betw een a man’s moral freedom and his feelings.D. A man should keep cool.2. Wha t’s the meaning of “whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad”?A. If you are mad, the gods will kill you.B. If you lose your temper first, gods will kill you first.C. If you can’t control yourself, you will be crazy.D. If the gods want to kill you, they will make you mad first.3. Which of the following is NOT true, according to passage?A. The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself.B. You wi ll make a small mistake serious if you don’t keep cool.C. You must measure a man’s strength by the power of the feelings which conquer him.D. Anger brings with folly and ends with regret.4. Which of the fol lowing can’t help you avoid anger, according t o the passage?A. Be calm in arguing.B. Check your temper or anger by speaking low.C. Keep your mouth shut.D. Try to make the other angry first.1. A 主旨大意题。

【2016高考训练】The world has changed and being intelligent isn't normally equal to being a successful person. Look at the example of the blue whale：It has a huge brain，but it still doesn't know how to avoid whalers or use its large size and weight to deal with those who try to use their body for profit. Scientists hold an opinion that the blue whale just likes some highly intelligent people who fail to succeed. Those highly intelligent people can't succeed in life because they can't communicate well with the world around them.Intelligence is a word in life that makes you think you are better than others. Intelligence can blind these very people from how others view them. These people also think that the route to power and success results purely from intelligence and they sometimes live in a fantasy world that they create by their supposed brain power.This is a distance that develops whether or not they realize it and sometimes，a person can be disliked simply because of his or her intelligence. This distance is sometimes so far apart that it gets to the position where they can't listen to each other. One side thinks the other is stupid and the other thinks he/she is haughty(傲慢的)．And most of the time it is the intelligent people who lose themselves in this situation. They become unpopular with most of the people around them. This affects them in whatever they do and sooner or later they will lose their confidence.It doesn't help that they get a culture shock—especially when they leave college and realize success and richness don't always and sometimes never come naturally with intelligence. While some might think this is a dramatic picture to paint，it is sometimes the end result of some people.1．The example of “the blue whale” is used to show ______. A．communication is more important than intelligenceB．human beings are always more intelligent than animalsC．humans should have the sense of protecting animalsD．the blue whale is the largest animal in the world2．Those supposed intelligent people often believe that ______. A．they should make their life the same with othersB．they should live in a better world than the othersC．they are sure to be successful because of their intelligence D．other people's opinion should be seriously considered3．What makes the intelligent people lose their confidence?A．They often can't get higher positions though they are intelligent. B．They become separated from other people and lose their support. C．They can't persuade those stupid people to accept their ideas. D．They often can't make good use of their advantages.4．We can infer that the end result of the supposed intelligent people would be ______.A．great achievements B．more effortsC．proper changes D．failure in the future参考答案1—4、ACBD阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

“America’s No.1 Health Problem.” So reads the headline of an article published by the American Institute of Stress that claims the biggest threat to health today is neither cancer nor AIDS. The re port says: “It has been estimated（估计）that 75 to 90 percent of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress related problems.”It is no exaggeration（夸张）to say that people today are being attacked by stress. According to the National Consumers Le ague, “Work is the top source of stress for adults who have problems and stress in their lives (39%), followed by family (30%). Other sources include health (10%), concern about the economy (9%) and concern about international conflict and terrorism (4%).”However, stres s is hardly unique to the United States. A British survey in 2005 estimated that “over half a million individuals in Britain believed in 2004 that they were experiencing work-related stress at a level that was making them ill.” As a result of “work-related stress, depression or anxiety,” there are “an estimated thirteen and a half million reported lost working days per year in Britain.”The picture is no less bleak in mainland Europe. According to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, “work-related stress has been shown to affect millions of European workers across all types of employment sectors.” One survey reveale d that there are “about 41 million workers affected by work-related stress each year.” What about Asia? A repo rt issued by a conference held in Tokyo concluded: “Job stress is a common concern among many countries in the world, both developing and industrialized countries.” The report observed that “several countries in East Asia, including China and Korea, have r apidly industrialized and economically grown. These countries now have a lot of concerns on job stress and its harmful effects on workers’ health.”1. The author quoted “America’s No.1 Health Problem.” (Para. 1) in order to ______.A. talk about health problems in AmericaB. introduce the topic of stressC. emphasize the stress in AmericaD. tell readers something about American Institute of Stress答案解析：答案为B。

Aside from doing schoolwork and studying,American students must also participate in various extra-curricular activities.Many students get involved in their communities by doing volunteer work at various local organizations.In fact,the school I attend even requires students to perform a certain number of hours of volunteer work per semester.It is part of our study hall(自修课)grade,as well as a graduation requirement.There are many places to do volunteer work in the community.Some of my classmates volunteer at the local animal shelter,the community table(which provides free meals for needy families),charity(慈善)stores,and many others.Finding a suitable place to volunteer usually depends on what’s available,as well as personal interests.For example,a friend of mine who enjoys swimming volunteers at the recreation center to teach young children how to swim.With all these options out there,I ended up doing most of my volunteer work at a school library and a non-profit bookstore called Friends of the Library.This bookstore sells donated books at cheap prices,and all the profits made are donated to the local library.I thought it was very fitting that I do my volunteer work at a library and a bookstore,because reading has always been very important to me.I love working in the bookstore now,because every sale we make helps our public library expand,and gives it the funds needed to purchase new books.I think everyone should have the opportunity to read,and that we each should do our part to help those who don’t have the chance.There is a charity event,called One Book for A Window of Opportunity,in which Chinese students can donate a book to the children of the poor village Fangmaping.They don’t have a lot of resou rces,so reading can be a challenge.To find out more about this event,please visit:/thread-739278-1-1.html.【文章大意】本文讲述的是美国学生根据自己的兴趣爱好以志愿者的形式参加课后的实践活动,以及作者自己参加课外活动后的经历和体会。

You lov e Jay Chou's songs and you can sing some quite well. So you make a video of your performance and post it online for your friends to see. But what if this led to something beyond your wildest imagination—a career in music?Canadian teenag er Jus tin Bieber, 16, has just had the magical experience: He posted homemade videos of his versions of songs by American singer Chris Brown online for his relatives. He received a phone call from Brown, telling him how much he liked his performance. His singing eventually earned him a fan base and a record contract. After releasing a popular EP (extended play密纹唱片) record in November 2009, his album My world 2.0 came out last Tuesday.Bieber sings bal lads a nd songs about puppy love. But is he just another gooey (甜腻的) teen idol? David Malitz, a columnist with the Washington Post, doesn't think so. “If we truly want the best for American children, let us pause and give thanks for Justin Bieber，” he writes. “After years of humdrum bubblegum (乏味的摇滚舞曲) from Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers, the 16yearold has thrown a candycoated wrench (扭转) into Disney's heartthrob (甜心) assembly line (生产线) by giving young fans something worth screaming their lungs out for: lovable pop songs.”From a boy who g rew up below the poverty line with his divorced mom to a star who caused nearriots (近乎失控) in shopping malls, even Bieber himself can't believe his overnight fame, although his kind of success is becoming more and more common in the Internet era.Interested in hockey(冰球), the national sport of Canada, the boy once put up pictures of players on the walls of his bedroom. He dreamed of being a hockey star and used to practice signing his autograph (签名). He doesn't need practice now. He signs autographs, if the girls can get close enough, as a music star.1.What did Chris Brown think of Justin Bieber's singing?A.He didn't like it.B.He liked it very much.C.He didn't say anything.D.He supported Justin Bieber.2.Who is a columnist?A.Chris Brown. B．Jay Chou.C.David Malitz. D．Miley Cyrus.3.What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A.He had a happy family.B.His family was very poor once.C.His family was rich.D.His family helped him a lot.4.What's the best title of the passage?A.Justin Bieber's overnight singing online.B.Justin Bieber's common experience.C.Justin Bieber's life.D.Justin Bieber's records.文章讲述了十六岁的加拿大男孩Justin Bieber把自己唱的歌曲做成录像，通过网络一夜成名的故事。
江苏省如皋中学高考英语 阅读理解训练经典题目(附答案)
江苏省如皋中学高考英语阅读理解训练经典题目(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Most of us have looked up at the stars that fill the night sky and wondered whether we're alone in the universe. Indeed, the question of whether there's life out there has been something humankind's been asking itself for countless years. But thanks to China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), the answer to this question may come a lot sooner than we expected.The telescope has a huge round reflector, which measures 500 meters across and has a perimeter(周长)of 1.6 kilometers. Because of its great size, it would have been both difficult and inefficient to get FAST to move like a regular telescope. Instead, FAST's designers came up with a great solution: its surface is made up of 4450 panels which can be individually adjusted. This clever design feature allows scientists to detect radio signals from any angle with a great degree of accuracy. "Panels can change their positions through connected wires and parallel (关联的) robots. We can control their position with an accuracy of 1mm," Zheng Yuanpeng, chief engineer of the telescope's panel project, told Xinhua News Agency.FAST's engineers also had the task of finding a suitable location. As any interference would affect its ability to detect distant radio waves, it needed to be built in a remote area. Luckily, the perfect spot was found in the beautiful mountains of Guizhou Province. "There are three hills about 500 meters away from one another, creating a valley that is perfect to support the telescope," Sun Caihong, chief engineer of FAST's construction, told Xinhua.And although it wasn't yet fully operated, FAST had already made great discoveries by October 2017. Since 1967, only around 2000 pulsars (脉冲星) have been discovered, yet FAST had detected six more by October 2017. Once FAST is fully up and running, we may finally have the answer to one of the biggest questions in history.（1）What is the purpose of mentioning the question in Paragraph 1?A. To introduce the new giant telescope.B. To explain why there is life in universe.C. To remind readers to think about the life in space.D.

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校浙江2017高考英语一轮阅读理解练习（一）阅读理解训练(2015·三模)Certainly, a wellrounded education is the foundation from which all of us spring forth. I am grateful to the many incredible teachers who have inspired me to do greater things, and have fired my enthusiasm for everlasting learning!I have also been honored to have the most amazing teachers in all of my children's lives. These are extraordinary people who not only teach our children, but love them, challenge them, and provide an environment where a child learns how to learn.But, sometimes I wonder if the outline of our educational plan is lacking something. I watched the movie Easy A with my older daughter. The main character's parents were loving, supportive, and built great confidence in their daughter and developed her ability to handle her own problems.There was a scene where the mother was speaking to the younger child and he announced that he received an “ A” on his spelling test. She replied, “ That's great, honey, but everything has spell check these days. ”It was funny—but TRUE！I don't mean that we shouldn't teach our children how to spell, but maybe some of our time should be spent educating them about the dangers of posting things on Facebook.Maybe we might want to spend time showing them how real life works—the credit card isn't free money—you will have to pay it back at sometime. Oh, and get this—they charge you for borrowing that money. Perhaps, we should spend some time on interpersonal relationships. I worry that our kids do not know how to relate to one another.Choosing a career is a daunting task. My daughter is in her second year in college and has changed her major twice. It's not that she didn't know what she wanted to do. What she “wanted to do”and the degree she chose did not match.I have learned many college students do not know what they want to do because they haven't seen what it looks like in the real world. Being a journalist in the real world looks very different from writing stories. Maybe if we spent some time exposing them to real life experience—maybe two or three courses in areas of interest in high school that give thema “ feel” for what that particular field would look like, they might be better prepared. I do not know the solution, but it seems that it should at least be a topic of discussion.文章大意：本文是关于教育的文章。

I may not be the wisest person on this planet,but I will tell you a little secret to happiness:Help others,and live life.It is that simple.Just help a friend study for a test,or volunteer at a nursing home.I learned this after a long,hard search.I was feeling really down because my longtime friend had died.Then I started a six-week volunteering at a nursing home all day every Saturday.My routine was to serve the meal and clean up.After that,I would wait for the head nurse to tell me what to do.One day I was told to go to Room 117 to make sure the patient was all right.In the room I found a boy of eight sitting in his bed watching a movie.I was shocked to see a child in this seemingly forgotten nursing home for the old.He was so small and weak that you had to look closely to find him.He motioned for me to sit down.I grabbed his medical chart from which later I found out he had a terminal illness.We started to talk,and I found out that his family rarely visited,and all he did every day was watch TV.I wanted to cry for him,and for my lost friend.As we talked,he had a smile on his face,and I asked him why.“The entire two hours I’ve been here you’ve never lost that smile.With this horrible disease,how do yo u still manage to stay happy?”He thought for a moment,and then said that too many people are dead even before they die.They walk around feeling that God has cursed(诅咒)them and that they have nothing to live for. The boy said that he would not be like that.He wakes every morning thankful to see another sunrise.He keeps his window open so that he can smell the flowers and feel the heat of the sun.He also said that he has hope.“Too many pe ople h aven’t seen much of that around here,” he said,“ Life is full o f hope and we need to live life before it is gone.”I don’t know what happened to him.I assume he passed away,but his lesson lives on.I now wake up and live each day to the fullest.The key to life is not money or fame,but the lessons we learn from it.【文章大意】本文是一篇故事类短文,通过讲述作者自己的一段经历来告诉人们快乐的秘密就是要去帮助别人,好好生活。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解When I was a kid, I was the girl who kept the training wheels on my bike as long as possible. Even my younger sister had got rid of them much earlier than me.

It is supposed to be a fun day at school when all of us kids bring our bikes to school and the school provides us with the opportunity to ride outside and learn proper bike safety. Sounds like fun, right? No. In fact, it caused me to panic. What was I going to say when my friends asked me about my training wheels?With the pressure of everyone seeing my training wheels, I determined to let them go. This was the first big change I'd ever made on my own.I went to my parents and told them all about my dilemma. They were more than happy to help. We went outside and got my bike. Instead of running away and hiding behind, I stood in front of my bike and took great pride in my decision as my dad removed the training wheels.I got on and steadied myself. My heart raced but my feet and hands were calm. My dad started to push before my feet even moved and suddenly I was off. The fear faded away and a relaxed mind came into its place. It was crazy to think how quickly I learned something that took so long for me to even try!My confidence soared. This was going to be the start of a brand new world for me.

从第一段中的cancers are particularly likely to attack persons in their middle and advanced years可以知道癌症尤其容易在中年人和老年人的身体上发生。
2. B 词义题。
第二段中的a simple medical test can find cancer while it is still small；test与后面的such a test指的是同样的一种方法，所以这里的test指的是上句的“用最简单的方法诊断早期的癌症”。
3. A 细节题。
第三段中提到了cancer病人血液中的有些东西在健康人中没有，并且百分之九十以上的情况是这样的。
B项与D项的意思与文章第一段中的certain habits and conditions of modern living including heavy smoking and pollution of the air may leave people living in more cancer-causing conditions不符；C项内容与文章最后一段的意思不符。
4. D 主旨题。
文章在开头就交代了写作的目的，有各种不同的理由说明了为什么癌症似乎在上升，而从后面的几段我们知道科学家们正在研究一种新的早期诊断cancer的方法。
【2014高考训练】We often associate off-season travel with cost-cutting．You know，it’s something to be done as a last resort，not somethingthat you actively look forward to．And it surely isreasonable，isn’t it? Off-season just seems like a polite term for depressing weather，and a lack of good conditions for traveling．Recently，however，this term has begun to gain a steady stream of followers．The so-called peak season，on the other hand，is constantly losing ground owing to the large crowds and high costs that tend to be associated with it．Off-season travel isn’t to everyone’s taste．So this is the time when airline companies come down to earth and offer a bunch of gifts to keep their business going on．You can mainly expect lowered fares and automatic upgrades if you’re a frequent traveler．Off-season means an encouragenlent for the hotel businesses as well．Ordinarily，5-star luxury is only something that we tend to dream of,but this is the perfect time to transform this into reality．Grand chain hotels cut their rates like crazy in order to fill up their rooms during this time，and worry not，the availability is fairly acceptable too．So make the most of it and book a fashionable room in a 5-star．Of course,you’re free to spend the amount you’ve thus saved 011 shopping．Every season has its own charm，doesn’t it?For inslance，people usually prefer to visit Europe in the summer，which is regarded as the best time to be there．But really，doesll’t it get rather sweltering (闷热)if you’re in Naples or Madrid in July?Ever spent a Christmas in either places?It’s highly recommended，if I may add．It’s the perfect quiet period vacation you’11 have．Hell，it Call be the most perfect vacation you’11 ever have．Who has ever liked to be pushed and shouldered while taking a photo during an amazing Copacabana sunset?Or have their wallet stolen in a crowded street?0ff-season travel translates to privacy，peace of mind，and relaxation．61．The author wrote the passage mainly to________________．A．change readers’traditional life styleB．slate the advantages of off-season travelingC．encourage readers to travel in peak seasonsD．compare the difference of traveling in different seasons62．We may learn from the first paragraph that________________．A．destinations in off seasons are mostly boringB．only poor people choose to travel in off seasonsC．more and more people travel in off seasonsD．people traveling in off seasons are more than those in peak seasons63．In Paragraph 2 the author wants to stress______________．A．the luxury of 5-star hotelsB．tile comfort of air travelingC．tlie better service than that in other seasonsD．the low cost of off-season journey64．The author suggests traveling to Europe in winter because_____________．A．people usually feel bored in summerB．people regard winter as the most charming seasonC．its winter has a different charmD．travelers can spend Christnlas there65．Some airlines cut down their flight price in off seasons because________________．A．they hope to attract more travelersB．they wish to show their gratitude to their passengersC．tileir expenses are low during this timeD．they want to make up for the loss they have experienced【参考答案】61-65 BCDCA【语篇导读】作者介绍了旅游淡季的优势，鼓励人们避开旅游旺季，以节省费用，并享受淡季旅游的快乐。
