高三英语阅读理解题训练及答案详解第一篇：Imagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678 000 square kilometers. So it might bedifficult to imagine anything twice as big.All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It weighs about 3 500 000 tons. The waste includes bags，bottles and containers—plastic products of all kinds.The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about l 600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert，with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world collects there.In recent years，there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste，resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces ofplastic. The trash can also make animals feel full，lessening their desire to eat or drink.The floating garbage also can have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste，and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.Its existence first gained public attention in l997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier，another oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.In August，2009，a team from the University of California，San Diego became thelatest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch’s effec t on ocean environment.51.How did the writer introduce the topic of the passage?A. By giving an example.B. By listing the facts.C. By telling a story.D. By giving a parison.52.What do we know about the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A. It is made up of various kinds of plastic products.B. It is a solid mass of floating waste materials.C. It lies l60 000 kilometers east of California.D. It is described as a kind of oceanic desert.53.Why do people pay attention to the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A. Because it may prevent the flow of ocean water.B. Because the polluted plastic articles will move up the food chain.C. Because it may be from an island in the pacific.D. Because ships may be trapped in the floating waste.54.Which column can you find the passage on a newspaper?A. Sports and entertainment.B. Media and culture.C. Environment and society.D. Science and technology.55.The purpose of writing this passage isto____________.A. warn people of the danger to travel in the pacificB. analyze what caused the waste patch in the pacificC. give advice on how to recycle waste in the oceanD. introduce the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch第二篇：Europeans should try to stay indoors if ash from Iceland's volcano starts settling, the World Health Organization warned Friday as small amounts fell in Iceland, Scotland and Norway.WHO spokesman Daniel Epstein said the microscopic(微小的) ash is potentially dangerous for people when it starts to reach the Earth because inhaled(吸入) particles can enter the lungs and cause respiratory problems. And he also said Europeans who go outside might want to consider wearing a mask.Other experts, however, weren't convinced the volcanic ash would have a major effect on peoples' health and said WHO's warnings were "hysterical." They said volcanic ash was much less dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution. Volcanic ash is made of fine particles of fragmented volcanic rock. It is light gray to black and can be as fine as talcum powder. During a volcanic eruption, the ash can be breathed deep into the lungs and cause irritation even in healthy people. But once it falls from a greater distance — like from the cloud currently hovering above Europe — its health effects are often minimal, experts say."Not all particles are created equal," said Ken Donaldson, a professor of respiratory toxicology at the University of Edinburgh, "In the great scheme of things, volcanic ash is not all that harmful." And he said most Europeans' exposure to volcanic ash would be negligible and that only those in the near districts of the Icelandic volcano would likely be at risk.Dr. Stephen Spiro, a professor of respiratory medicine and deputy chair of the British Lung Foundation, said the further the particles travel, the less dangerous they will be. "The cloud has already passed over northern Scotland and we haven't heard of any ill effects there," he said. Spiro said to wear masks or stay indoors to avoid volcanic ash was "over the top" and "a bit hysterical."60. The text is mainly about .A. the effect of volcanic ashB. the health risk of volcanic ashC. the disadvantages of volcanic ashD. the opinions on health risk of volcanic ash61. Which one is true according to Paragraph3?A. The volcanic ash’s effects on Europeans were little.B. The ash caused irritation even in healthy people.C. Other experts thought WTO’S warnings were useful.D. The volcanic ash was more dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution.62. The underlined word “hysterical” in Paragraph4 most probably means .A. amazingB. practicalC. valuableD. overstated63. What can we learn from the passage?A. The volcanic ash wouldn’t be harmful to people.B. All experts thought the volcanic ash did great harm to our health.C. People close to the volcano would likely be at risk according to some experts.D. Europeans should stay indoors because Iceland's volcano starts settling.第一篇：51.D。

初中英语阅读理解训练及参考答案(通用9篇)

初中英语阅读理解训练及参考答案（通用9篇）中考英语阅读理解及解析篇一Advertisers Perform a Useful Service to the CommunityAdvertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism. Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair for self-promotion and because they have so much money to throw around. ‘It’s iniquitous,’ they say, ‘that this entirely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays…’The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration of calamities.We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!Another thing we mustn’t forget is the ‘small ads.’ which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the ‘hatch, match and dispatch’ column but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or ‘agony’ column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is!1. What is main idea of this passage?A. Advertisement.B. The benefits of advertisement.C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.D. The costs of advertisement.2. The attitude of the author toward advertisers isA. appreciative.B. trustworthy.C. critical.D. dissatisfactory.3. Why do the critics criticize advertisers?A. Because advertisers often brag.B. Because critics think advertisement is a “waste of money”。

(完整版)大学英语四级阅读理解试题及答案(三)

大学英语四级阅读理解试题及答案（三）十一What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow , orange ,red? If you do ,you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet,shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know,because they have been seriouslystudying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tells us, among other facts,that we do not choose ourfavourite clour as we grow up we are born with our preference.If you happen to love brown, you did so, assoon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.Colours do influence our moods -- t here is no doubt about it .A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand ,black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ------- until it was repainter green.The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply ;perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and bright colours make people not only hppier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better,harder ,and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.1. ____________________________________ "You would rather follow than red" means _________________________________________ .a.you don't like to follow othersb.you would be a member rather than a leaderc.you would be afraid of following othersd.you would like to be a leader rather than a follower2.If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer .a.red to yellowb.blue to orangec.red to greyd.blue to yellow3. ________________________________ "They tell us, among other facts,that we don't choose our favourite colours as we grow up." "Among other facts" means .a.besides other factsb.in regard to other factsc.not considering other factsd.according to other facts4.Which of the following is facts?a.People's preference of one colour to another is instinctb.People's preference of one colour to another is acquired as they grow up.c.More people happen to love brown because they saw something brown when they were bornd.Colours have little influence on our moods5. ____________________ Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River near london to others because of .a.its shapeb.its structurec.its colourd.its building materials答案：bcaac十二Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on street. No man who thought of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should leave one in your lap,or on the table?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a wonmano r offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is , if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock , the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable - e specially if they are your guests. When the food was served , one of the guests strated to eat his peas with a knife . The other guests were amused or shocked , but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.

It wastransferred from France to Spain, returned to France,and finally sold by Napoleon to the United States in 1803. The city was the site of a famous battle fought in 1815 between the British, who hoped to control it , and the Americans under General And rew Jackson.The riverbed of the Mississippi is constantly silting and the river is now actually higher than the city. Levees hold back the river and giant pumps are usedto move water from the city into the river.Although New Orleans haas beena part of the United States for almost two centuries, its population takes great pride in its French heritage. Louisiana still retains parts of the Code Napoleon which,form many years,was its only law.New Orleans is carefree city and it boasts its hot, spicy Creole seafood and its native Dixieland Jazz. The jackson Square neighborhood maintains its French colonial homes and in other sections are pre-Civil War mansions. Visitors are surprised to find that behind this interesting facade of yesteryear, is a busy industrial a nd port city. Grain and coal come from the Midwest and foreigh cargoes are unloaded here.

A praising of Dixieland Jazz.5. _____________________________________________ Tourists visiting New Orleans are surprised to encounter ______________________ .a.Creole foodb.Dixieland jazzc.bustling cityd.authentic colonial homes答案：bbbcc十四The United States is on the verge of losing its leading place in the world's technology. So says more than one study in recent years. One of the reasons for this decline is the parallel decline in the number of U.S. scientists and engineers.Since 1976,employment of scientists and engineers is up 85 percent. This trend is expected to continue. However, the trend shows that the number of 22-year-olds--the near term source of future PH.D.s-is declining. Further adding to the problem is the increased competition for these candidates from other fields-law,medicine,business,etc. While the number of U.S. PH.D.s in science and engineering declines,the award of PH.D.s to foreign nationals is increasing rapidly.Our inability to motivate students to pursue science and engineering careers at the graduate level is compounded because of the intense demand industry has for bright Bachelor's and Master's degree holders. Too often, promising PH.D.candidates, confronting the cost and financial sacrifice of pursuing their education,find the attraction of industry irresistible.1.The U.S.will come to lose its leading place in technology probably becausea.the number of PH.D. degree holders is decliningb.the number of scientists and engineers is decreasingc.the number of 22-year-ilds is decliningd.scientists and engineers are not employed2. ___________________________________________________________________ The field of science and engineering is facing a competition from _________________a.technologyb.foreign nationalsc.such fields as law, medicine and businessd.postgraduates3. _______________________________ Large-scale enterprises now need .a.bright graduates and postgraduatesb.new inventionsc.advanced technologyd.engineers4.Many promising postgraduates are unwilling to pursue a PH.D. degree becausea.they are not encouraged to be engaged in scienceb.industry does not require PH.D. holdersc.they have financial difficultiesd.they will spend much time and energy completing PH.D.5.PH.D. candidates "find the attraction of industry irresistible" means thata.they find industry is attracting more and more college studentsb.they don't think they can prevent themselves from working for industryc.they cannot resist any attraction from all sidesd.they cannot work for industry any longer答案：bcadb十五Newdays,a standard for measuring power has changed.These changes foretell a new standard for measuring power.No longer will a nation's political influence be based solely on the strength of its military forces. Of course, military effectivenesswill remain a primary primary measure of power.But political influence is also closely tied to industrial competitiveness. It's often said that without itsmilitary the Soviet Union would really be a third-world nation. The new standard of opwer and influence that is evolving now places more emphasis on the ability of a country to compete effectively in the economic markets of the world.America must recognize this new course of events. Our success in shaping world events over the past 40 years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt technology and to take advantage of the capabilities of our people for the purpose of maintaining peace. Our industrial prowess over most of this period was unchallenged. It is ironic that it is just this prowess that has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership.The competitiveness of America's industrial base is an issue bigger than the Department of Defense and is going to require the efforts of the major institutionalforces in our society-government,industry,and education. That is not to say that the Defense Department will not be a strong force in the process because we will.But we simply cannot be, nor should we be, looked upon by others as the savior of American industry.1.Now a nation's political influence depends on .a.the strength of its military forcesb.its ability to compete in industryc.economic marketsd.both a and b2.The Soviet Union was not listed as a third-world nation just because ofa.its powerful military forcesb.its vast landc.its industrial competitivenessd.its contributions to world peace3.The author indicates that is threatening American political power.a.other countriesb.the declining U.S. industrial basec.a new standard for measuring powerd.less advanced technology4.America succeeded in shaping world events over past 40 years probably because of _________ .a.its ability to adapt technologyb.its ability to take advantage of the capabilities of its peoplec.its ability to compete in the world marketsd.both a and b5.The purpose of writing this article is .a.to draw the readers' attention to a new standard for measuring powerb.to demonstrate American political influence in the worldc.to emphasize that efforts must be made to strengthen the declining U.S. industrial based.to show American industrial prowess答案：dabdc。

下面给大家整理了初中英语阅读理解练习题及答案，希望对大家有所帮助!初中英语阅读理解练习题和答案篇1When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retireor that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.By Jack根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

Read the following article and then answer the questions below.About Flu ShotsIt sounded like a good idea when New York City 's mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, advised New Yorkers recently to get a flu shot. After all, 20,000 Americans each year die of influenza. And this year in particular, the mayor suggested, getting a flu shot might be an especially good idea, since it could help doctors distinguish between flu and the deadly inhalational form of anthrax. How? Both anthrax and flu exhibit strikingly similar symptoms —fever, chills and muscle aches —in the early days of the infection. Physicianswouldbe quick to suspect anthrax in anyone who wasvaccinated against flu and still developed fever and chills. That would give them a better chance to identify any new victims of terror while their infection was still inits earliest, most treatable stages.Or so the mayor 's reasoning went. Unfortunately, there are a couple of problems with his logic. For one thing, getting vaccinated against influenza doesn't guarantee you won 't get sick. Although highly effective, the flu vaccine protects against only the dominant strains and even then does not provide 100% protection. It takes a couple of weeks for your body to respond to the vaccine with a sufficient number of antibodies. Each year thousands of Americans who get the vaccine nevertheless still get the flu.There are also plenty of reasons you might develop fever, chills and muscle aches that have nothing to do with wither anthrax or flu. Indeed, doctors estimate that more than 80% of all flulike ailments each winter arecaused by other groups of viruses, like the parainfluenza and picornavirus families. Getting vaccinated against flu can 't protect you against suffering from these other respiratory ailments.In the worse case, asking all healthy adults to get vaccinated could actually backfire, leading to even more deaths if it means we run out of shots for those who are most vulnerable to the infection. Already there have been delays in getting thisyear's shipment of vaccine to clinics and doc tors ' offices. Those who should be at the front of the line include folks who are 65 or older, nursing-home residents and adults and children with chronic health problems, including asthma, kidney disease, heart disease and diabetes, as well as anyone who cares for or lives with such people. Flu shots are also important for men and women whose immune system is weakened by HIV or other conditions.The best reason to get the flu vaccine is that it protects against most flus —notthat you' re worried about contracting anthrax. While inhalational anthrax has killed only five people so far, many more could be at risk from flu-related complications. There 's no need to compound the tragedy by making this year 's influenza epidemic any worse.Comprehension1.Paragraph 1 mainly illustratesA.the necessity of persuading New Yorkersto get a flu shotB.the reason why the mayor especiallyadvised his citizens to get a flu shotthis yearC.the fact that flu and anthrax have manysimilar symptomsD.the advantage of getting a flu shot2.What is the main idea of paragraph 2 and 3?A.Getting a flu shot cannot ensure that vaccinated people won 't get flu orflulike ailments. B. It 's wrong for the mayor to advise people to get a flu shot.C. You have many chances to developflulike symptoms.D. The symptoms of many other respiratorydiseases are similar to those of anthrax.3.Paragraph 4 mainly illustratesA. another unreasonable aspect of themajor 's opinionB.the risk of being short of flu shotsC.the unexpected result brought about by the mayor 's appealD.the necessity for people with poorhealth to get flu shots4.What is the main idea of paragraph 5?A. It's wrong for the mayor to advise hiscitizens to get flu shots.B.Getting a flu shot would give rise tomany problems.C.People should not get flu shots, for it can 't provide better protection against anthrax.D.A sking all healthy adults to get fluvaccine could make things go contrary to what the mayor expected.5.W hich of the following is the most appropriate title for the passage?A.

初三生物多样性英语阅读理解25题

初三生物多样性英语阅读理解25题1<背景文章>Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, including all the different plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms, as well as the ecosystems they form. It is a fundamental aspect of our planet that is crucial for the survival and well - being of all living things.The importance of biodiversity cannot be overstated. Firstly, it provides a wide range of ecological services. For example, plants are the primary producers in most ecosystems, converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. This energy then flows through the food chain, supporting all other organisms. Secondly, biodiversity contributes to the stability of ecosystems. A diverse ecosystem is more resilient to environmental changes such as climate change, natural disasters, and human - induced disturbances. For instance, a forest with a variety of tree species is more likely to survive a disease outbreak than a monoculture forest.However, biodiversity is currently facing numerous threats. One of the major threats is habitat destruction. As human populations expand, more land is needed for housing, agriculture, and industry. This often leads to the destruction of natural habitats such as forests, wetlands, andgrasslands. Another threat is overexploitation. Many species are hunted or harvested at unsustainable rates for food, medicine, or the pet trade. For example, some species of sharks are hunted for their fins, and many wild animals are illegally traded for their skins or body parts. Pollution also poses a significant threat to biodiversity. Chemical pollutants can contaminate soil, water, and air, harming plants, animals, and microorganisms. In addition, invasive species can disrupt native ecosystems. These non - native species can outcompete native species for resources, leading to a decline in native biodiversity.1. <问题1>What is biodiversity mainly about?A. Only different animals on Earth.B. The variety of life on Earth including organisms and ecosystems.C. Only plants in different areas.D. All the man - made things on Earth.答案：B。
