2013Text 1In the 2006 film version of The Devil Wears Prada, Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, scolds her unattractive assistant for imagining that high fashion doesn’t affect her.(film 电影;version 版本;译本;倒转术;devil 魔鬼;折磨;prada 普拉达(奢侈品品牌);scold 责骂;叱责;unattractive 不吸引人注意的;assistant 助手;辅助的) 2006电影版的《时尚女魔头》中,Meryl Streep所饰演的Miranda Priestly在斥责其平凡乏味的助手,原因是她认为高级时尚与己无关。

Priestly explains how the deep blue color of the assistant’s sweater descended over the years from fashion shows to department stores and to the bargain bin in which the poor girl doubtless found her garment.(descend 下降;遗传;下去;bargain 交易;契约;讨价还价;bin 箱子;容器;garment 衣服;服装;外表;外观)Priestly解释了助手身上毛衫的深蓝色多年来是如何从时装展屈尊至百货店,再沦落到打折区的,而这个可怜女孩儿身上的衣服无疑掏自最后一站。

This top-down conception of the fashion business couldn’t be more out of date or at odds with the feverish world described in Overdressed, Eliazabeth Cline’s three-year indictment of “fast fashion”.(conception 怀孕;概念;设想;开始;odds 几率;胜算;不平等;差别;odd 奇怪;怪人;奇数的;剩余的;feverish 发热的;极度兴奋的;describe 描述;形容;描绘;indictment 起诉书;控告)“时尚业乃自上而下”这一观念早已过时,或者说和《着装过度》一书(Cline历时三年方完成的对“快时尚”的控诉)所描绘的狂热世界完全相悖。

英语二Text 11—-—Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents, but in recent years it has been particularly scorned. School districts across the country, most recently Los Angeles Unified, are revising(修改) their thinking on his educational ritual(例行公事)。

Unfortunately, L。

A. Unified has produced an inflexible (不可变更的) policy which mandates(批准) that with the exception of some advanced courses, homework may no longer count for more than 10%of a student’s academic grade。

家庭作业从来就没有受到学生甚至家长的真正欢迎,但最近几年来,家庭作业却受到人们的鄙视。

全国的学校都在修改家庭作业的相关惯例做法。

不幸的是,洛杉矶学区通过了一项不可变更的政策:除了高等课程,家庭作业在学分中所占比例不可以超过10%。

21.It is implied in paragraph 1 that nowadays homework_____。

[A] is receiving more criticism[B] is no longer an educational ritual(绝对)[C] is not required for advanced courses(正反)[D] is gaining more preferences(正反)2—-—This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homes might have in completing their homework.

初中阅读理解测试一一、现代文阅读(共3题,共38分)1、(14分)阳光彭学明①春天的阳光,像一河涨起的春水,载着桃红水绿,满山奔走。

于是大地暖和了,湿漉漉的水汽从泥土里蒸发出来。

睡在泥地的阳光,伸出温情蜜意的舌尖,在泥土的胸膛上舔啊,舔呀,千次万次,阳光把他的爱情和生命全部奉献。

冻了一冬的泥土因此长出感情的草、生命的树和爱情的花朵回报阳光。

那些花朵,本就是感情泛滥、四处开放的,如今有了阳光的温情和抚弄,就更是漫山遍野,吐露芬芳。

阳光,一个本领高强的摘花手,让我们羞愧汗颜。

②阳光看农人们如何把春天浸泡成一方种子,发芽、抽苗,变成风景。

等一切都满含春的情意,绿成诗的意象时,阳光站起身子,到夏天去了。

③夏天的阳光,像一匹横空出世的火马,总在我们不经意的时候奔突而来,坚硬的蹄声左冲右杀,踏起一路黄尘、青烟。

这时的阳光最激情澎湃,热血沸腾,通红的唇一如炭火,搁在哪儿,哪儿都疼。

《诗经》里留下的男人女人,赤脚穿过雨巷,长发湿漉,疑是戴望舒身边移动的丁香。

亲切的阳光与他们并肩行走,隔世的话题越拉越长。

阳光和人来到草地,草地的绿不再柔弱而很坚强。

阳光和人来到河边,河边的景致不再新鲜而很老陈。

夏天的阳光,是水中的阳光,只有在水中浸泡时,我们才感到阳光是那样软和、湿润与可爱。

那么,就让我们做一回田田的荷叶,永居水乡。

④可是秋天要来的,秋色会愈来愈重地挂我们的窗棂与屋檐。

那阳光会依旧照在一把紫砂茶壶上,照在几串沿墙挂着的红辣椒上,依旧会钻进秋天的林子里又唱又跳,把树叶染得红红、黄黄。

阳光走到田里,田里的水稻就会成熟。

阳光走到地头,地头的庄稼就会吐香。

阳光走到树上,树上的果实就会流蜜。

即便是土,阳光也会将之踩出芬芳。

抚摸千年不改的芳醇,辛苦一世的人们开始唱歌,没有词,没有曲,就是那么灿烂的几吼,就有滋有味,无限情思。

小桥流水,红掌清波,柴门紫烟,都如远行的乡人,年年奔跑在秋色民歌里。

那些牛、羊、猪、狗,则永远都是一群活活泼泼的动物,在民歌下走动。

英语阅读理解五篇及答案(一)

英语阅读理解五篇及答案(一)

英语阅读理解五篇及答案(一)第一篇This new school year is especially for some elementary school students in Auckland,New Zealand.They became the world’s first kids to be“taught” by a digital teacher.Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom,Will—the digital teacher,is just an avatar that appears on the student’s desktop,or smartphone screen,when ordered to come.Just like humans,Will is able to instantly react to the students’responses to the topic.He not only responds to the kids’questions,but also picks up no n-verbal cues.For instance,if a student smiles at Will,he responds by smiling back.This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students’attention, but also allows the program's developers to monitor their engagement,and make changes if needed.Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a new way to cat ch the attention of the next generation.He says,“1have a lot of hope in the technology.However,regardless of how popular it becomes.Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.1.What was special some elementary school students in Auckland? ()A.This was a new school yearB.They saw something digitalC.They have new desktopD.A digital teacher taught them2.From the passage we know that ______.A.Will cannot respond to the kids’ questionsB.Will can hardly pick up non-verbal cuesC.Will is very popular with the studentsD.it is unlikely for Will to capture children’ attention3.What is the benefit of this two-way interaction? ( )A.It can smile backB.It can use microphoneC.It can talk any topicD.It can change if necessary4.What’s Ravishankar’s attitude to Will’s replacing Human educators soon?()A.DisapprovingB.DiffidentC.OptimisticD.Unclear5.What might be the best title for the passage?()A.Shortage of Human TeachersB.World-first Digital TeachersC.A New School YearD.New Contributes to Education第二篇A simple piece of clothesline hangs between some environmentally friendly Americans neighbors.On one side stand those who see clothes dryers as a waste of energyand a major polluter of the environment.As a result,they are turning to clothe slines as part of the“what-I-can do environmentalism.”______Arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant to look at.They have persuaded Homeowners Associations(HOAs)across the US to ban outdoor clotheslines,because clothesline drying also tends to lower home value inthe neighborhood.This has led to a Right-to-Dry Movement that is calling for laws to be passed to protect people’s right to use clotheslines.So far,only three states have laws to protect clotheslines.Right-to-Dry supporters argue that there should be more.Matt Reck,37,is the kind of eco-conscious person who feeds his trees with bathwater and reuses water drops from his air conditioners to water plants.His family also uses a clothesline,but on July9,2007,the HOA in Wake Forest,North Carolina,told him that a dissatisfied neighbor had telephoned them about his clothesline.The Recks paid no attention to the warming,and sill dried their clothes on a line in the yard.“Many people say they are envi ronmentally friendly but they don’t take matters into their own hands.”saysReck.The local HOA has decided not to take any action,unless more neighbors come to them.North Carolina lawmakers are saying that banning clotheslines is not the right thing to do.But HOAs and housing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor neighborhoods.They worry that if buyers think their future neighbors can’t even afford dryers,housing prices will fall.Environmentalists say such worries are not necessary,and in view of global warming,that idea needs to change.As they say,“The clothesline is beautiful.Hanging clothes outside should be encouraged.We all have to do at least something to slow down the process of global warming.”1.One of the reasons why supporters of clothes dryers are trying t o ban clothesline drying is that ______.A.clothes dryers are more efficientB.clothesline drying reduces home valueC.clothes dryers are energy-savingD.clothesline drying is not allowed in most US states2.Which of following is the most suitable to be put in the blank a t the beginning of Paragraph 3?A.On the other side are people who are against drying clothes.B.Some other people dry their clothes on a line in the yard.C.Moreover, some environmentally friendly Americans prefer saving energy.D.Besides outdoor clotheslines should not be allowed to use in the yard.3.Which of the following best describes Matt Reck?A.He is an impolite man.B.He is a kind-hearted man.C.He is an experienced gardener.D.He is a man of social responsibility.4.Who are in favor of clothesline drying?A.Housing businessesB.EnvironmentalistsC.Homeowners AssociationsD.Reck’s dissatisfied neighbors5.What is mainly discussed in the text?A.Clothesline drying a way to save energy and money.B.Clothesline drying a lost art rediscovered.C.Opposite opinions on clothesline drying.D.Different varieties of clotheslines.第三篇On a hot day in Alexander City, Alabama, summer school was in full swing. Two girls were reading "Julius Caesar" as two others wrestled with maths. A boy worked his way through a psychology quiz, and a teacher monitored an online discussion with students from around the state: Was Napoleon the last enlightened despot(专制君主)or the first modern dictator?This is not a traditional classroom scene, but it has become common enough in Alabama. The state has many small, rural schools. Because of their size, and the relative scarcity of specialized teachers, course offerings have been limited. Students might have had to choose between chemistry or physics, or stop after two years of Spanish. But thanks to an innovative experiment with online education, the picture has changed dramatically.In 2005, the governor, Bob Riley, announced a pilot programme called Alabama Connecting Classrooms Educators and Students Statewide, or ACCESS. The idea was to use internet and videoconferencing technology to link students in one town to teachers in another. It was something of a pet cause for Mr. Riley, who comes from a rural county himself. He was especially keen that students should have a chance to learn Chinese.There were skeptics. The pilot programme cost $10 million, not pocket change in a poor state. Teachers worried about how they would connect totheir virtual students. But ACCESS quickly became a hit. In 2006, students took more than 4, 000 courses at 24 schools. In 2008, with ACCESS now in more schools, the number exceeded 22,000. Administrators are finding new ways to live up the experience. Last year a dozen schools went on a "virtual field trip" to Antarctica, with scientists beamed in by satellite, and a school in Birmingham has been liaising(取得联系)with a counterpart in Wales.As for the goal of leveling the academic playing field, the state is pleased so far. Joe Morton, the state superintendent of schools, points to the number of black students taking AP courses. In 2003, according to the College Board, just 4.5% of Alabama’s successful AP students (those who passed the subject exam) were black. In 2008, the number was up to 7.1%. There is still a big gap — almost a third of the state’s students are black — but the improvement in Alabama was the largest in the country over that period. "That makes it all worthwhile right there," says Mr. Morton.1.Why summer school is popular in Alabama?A.Because there are many rural schools in this state.B.Because there are not enough skilled teachers in this state.C.Because the online education made it possible.D.Because the courses for students are limited in number.2.What's Bob Riley's view about the ACCESS?A.It is not practical in the rural areas.D.It was set up for Chinese learning.C.It only connects part of the schools in Alabama.D.It can link the students and teachers in different towns.3.The "virtual field trip" is mentioned by the author to _____.A.indicate the government's efforts on ACCESSB.show that the ACCESS is costlyC.declare teachers worries on ACCESSD.point out the difficulties on ACCESS4.What can we learn about the effect of providing a fair academic atmosphere?A.There is little change by now since the implement of ACCESS.B.The black students have got benefits from this programme.C.The efforts devoted on ACCESS were not deserved.D.Almost a third of the students in Alabama have the education chance.5.It can be concluded from the whole passage that online education _____.A.is a cheap plan to AlabamaB.is not practical in AlabamaC.can improve the education qualityD.has been available to all American states第四篇Extinction has recently become a catchword(时髦话). Every day entire species of plants and animals die out,and for the first time in history this is due to the actions of just one species: humans. We already know about five mass extinctions,and now a sixth seems to be under way. This one is different,because it is man-made. Deforestation(毁林)of the rain forests is just one aspect of the phenomenon. Most people may have heard about that,but few people know that most of the species existing in the rain forests have never been described by science. Often,they die out before we ever know they existed. Nobody can tell what treasures we lose,perhaps a cure for cancer or other modern-day diseasesWorld-famous Harvard professor Edward O. Wilson examines life on our planet in his book The Diversity (多样性)of Life. He doesn’t lecture his readers,but states in a matter-of-fact way what is known about the Earths past and the impact of mankind on its plant and animal life. Meanwhile,he suggests solutions for the present crisis.If you are interested in the future of planet Earth and want to learn to see the bigger picture,this is the book for you. This is no light bedtime reading and will probably leave you feeling uneasy. However,it’s important for people living in the 21st century to think about how we can pass at least part of thisdiversity on to our children. Recent research shows that Earth needs about 10 million years to restore the lost diversity of species after a great crisis. Ten million years are not much in terms of the life of a planet,but the period is way too long for mankind. Wilson’s book should help us to start a process of reconsideration.1.Judging from the context,what does the word “extinction” (Line 1,Para 1)mean?Dying out of an entire species.Killing of wild animals by man.Deforestation of the rain forest.Death of many plants and animals.2.Why is the present mass extinction different from the five previous ones?Because it is larger in scale.Because it is caused by man.Because the lost diversity can never be restored.Because it threatens the very existence of humans.3.How long does the Earth need to restore the lost diversity of species after a great crisis according to recent research?About 10 million years.21 centuries.A life-long time.It could never be restored.4.It can be inferred from the passage that ______.now there are more species on our planet than before.every plant or animal is described in the book The Diversity of Life.without man’s interference every species would have survived.many species lived and died without ever being noticed by man.5.What is the chief purpose of Edward O. Wilson in writing the book The Diversity of Life?To provide readers with some interesting bedtime reading.To help specialists do research on plant and animal life.To arouse readers’ interest in the history of our planet.To remind us of the urgency of preserving the diversity of life.第五篇Chinese people are very hospitable and like to treat friends or business partners to a sumptuous dinner to show their hospitality and sincerity. Such dinners are important for Chinese, and many business deals are settled there.The seating arrangement is very particular, but may differ from place to place.Generally, the table for a banquet is round. The head seat is the central one that faces the entrance door, and this is normally where the host sits. Sometimes it can also be reserved for the guest who is either the eldest, the most important, or holds the highest rank.The seat on the immediate right is for the honored guest, and the seat on the immediate left is for the second guest. The seating arrangement usually follows two principals: one relates to the distance to the head seat, and the other gives priority to seats on the right.The seat opposite the head seat is usually taken by a person from the hosting group: sometimes it suggests that the person who is seated there will pay for the dinner.In a Chinese dinner, keeping the balance between the proportion of meat and vegetable dishes is viewed a a given. Normally, the main guest, olderpeople or those of higher rank are given the honor of ordering. Sometimes the host will order according to guest tastes.In a Chinese dinner, cold dishes are served first, then hot dishes, then staple food, fruits are served last. Cold dishes are regularly ordered in an even number depending on the number of guests. The number of hot dishes, as for main courses, usually falls as four, six or eight (or other even numbers because Chinese people believe them to be lucky). Regular dinner usually has six to twelve hot dishes Staples such as rice, pancakes, noodles, dumplings and others are provided after the hot dishes, then sometimes comes soup, with fruit served at the end.Unlike most Westerners, Chinese usually share all of the dishes on the table. There is usually a large rotating tray, and all the dishes ordered are placed on it. When eating one uses chopsticks or a spoon transfer the food into one’s own plate or bowl. People take just one portion each time not all the food they want to eat.In daily life, chopsticks also play an important role in Chinese table manners and some principals need to be kept in mind. Before the meal, the chopstick should be placed parallel to one another on the right side of one’s plate or bowl; during the meal, the chopsticks should be placed on the rack or plate after use, not placed casually back on the table. After the meal, thechopsticks should be placed in a vertical line on the middle of the rice bowl Do not use chopsticks to turn over the food in the dishes. Do not point at people with the chopsticks during a meal.In China, the dinner bill will usually be paid by the one who issued the invitation, but sometimes Chinese will compete to pay for the bill. This is mainly related to the culture of maintaining face. Chinese usually believe that whoever pays the bill is more generous and values the friendship more, and thus gains more face.China is a country with a splendid catering culture diverse in its various culinary regions; just remember, “A guest should suit the convenience of the host” and “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”.1.Which of the following statements about seating arrangement is NOT TRUE?A.Generally, round tables are used at Chinese banquets.B.The seat facing the entrance is the seat of honor.C.The seat opposite the head seat is usually reserved for the eldest.D.Those of higher position sit closer to the head seat.2.The main courses usually are ordered in even number because ______.A.Chinese people like to share the dishes with othersB.Even number symbolize the longevity and immortality in ChinaC.It is a traditional way to show respect to the guestsD.Chinese people regard even numbers as lucky numbers3. In a Chinese dinner, rice is usually served ______.A.before the cold dishesB.after the hot dishesC.after the soupD.at the end14.Which of the following behaviors may be regarded as impolite when using the chopsticks?A.During the meal, placing the chopstick on the rack of plate after use.B.Before the meal, placing the chopstick parallel to one another on the right side of the bowl.C.During the meal, inserting the chopsticks into the bowls or dishes.D.When eating, using chopsticks to transfer the food into one’s own plate or bowl.15.Why do Chinese people compete to be the one to pay for the bill according to the passage?A.To establish trust.B.To prove that they are humble and polite.C.To show they are very rich.D.To maintain face.答案第一篇1.本题考查细节题。

英语二 2013阅读理解真题-text1

TEXT 1In an essay(短文)entitled “Making It in America”, the author Adam Davidson relates(叙述)a joke from cotton(棉)about just how much a modern textile(纺织品)mill(工厂)has been automated: The average(普通)mill only two employees today,” a man and a dog. The man is there to feed the dog is there to keep the man away from the machines.”Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared(出现)making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly(顽固的,顽强的)high unemployment and declining(衰退中的)middle-class(中层社会的,中产阶级的;)incomes today is also because of the advances in both globalization(全球化)and the information technology revolution,(全球化与信息技术革命的进展)which are more rapidly(很快地,迅速地)than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign worker.In the past, workers with average skills, doing an average job, could earn an average lifestyle ,But ,today ,average is officially over(平常/普通已经结束). Being average just won’t earn you what it used to. It can’t when so many more employers have so much more access(获取、使用)to so much more above average cheap foreign labor, cheap robotics, cheap software, cheap automation (自动化)and cheap genius(才能). Therefore, everyone needs to find their extra-their unique(唯一的,独特的)value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.Yes, new technology has been eating jobs forever, and always will. But there’s been an acceleration(加速). As Davidson notes,” In the 10 years ending in 2009, [U.S.] factories shed(解雇、脱落)workers so fast that they erased(解雇,抹去)almost all the gains(获得,增加)of the previous(以前的,早先的)70 years; roughly(大概的)one out of every three manufacturing(制造业的,工业)jobs-about 6 million in total -disappeared.There will always be changed-new jobs, new products, new services. But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in globalization and the I.T. revolution, the best jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.In a world where average is officially(正式的)over, there are many things we need to do to support employment, but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G.I. Bill for the 21st century that ensures that every American has access to poet-high school education.21. The joke in Paragraph 1 is used to illustrate(表明、叙述)_______[A] the impact(影响)of technological advances 科技进步的影响[B] the alleviation(缓和)of job pressure(压力)工作压力的缓解[C] the shrinkage(收缩)of textile mills(纺织厂)纺织厂的萎缩[D] the decline(下降,降低)of middle-class incomes中产阶级收入的减少22. According to Paragraph 3, to be a successful employee, one has to______[A] work on cheap software 开发廉价的软件[B] ask for a moderate(适中的)salary 要求适中的薪水[C] adopt(采纳,接受)an average lifestyle 过着普通的生活方式[D] contribute(贡献)something unique(独一无二的)做出特殊贡献23. The quotation in Paragraph 4 explains(解释)that ______[A] gains of technology have been erased 科技成就已经被抹杀[B] job opportunities are disappearing at a high speed 工作机会以很快的速度消失[C] factories are making much less money than before 工厂比以前利润低[D] new jobs and services have been offered 新的工作和新的服务方式已经被提供24. According to the author, to reduce(减少)unemployment(失业), the most important is_____[A] to accelerate the I.T. revolution 加快IT革命[B] to ensure more education for people 确保人们受到更多的教育[C] to advance economic globalization 推进经济全球化[D] to pass more bills(法案)in the 21st century 在21世纪通过更多法案25. Which of the following would be the most appropriate(适当的,恰当的)title for the text?[A] New Law Takes Effect 新法律生效[B] Technology Goes Cheap 科技变得廉价[C] Average Is Over 平庸时代已经过去[D] Recession Is Bad衰退是糟糕的Text 2A century ago, the immigrants(移民)from across the Atlantic(大西洋,the Pacific太平洋)included settlers(移民者、殖民者)and sojourners(寄居者、旅居者). Along with the manyfolks(人们)looking to make a permanent(永久的、永恒的)home in the United States came those who had no intention(意图,目的;intend 打算)to stay, and 7millin people arrived while about 2 million departed(离开). About a quarter of all Italian immigrants, for example, eventually(最后、最终)returned to Italy for good. They even had an affectionate nickname, “Uccelli di passaggio,” birds of passage.Today, we are much more rigid(严格)about immigrants. We divide(划分)newcomers into two categories(分类): legal(合法)or illegal(不合法), good or bad. We hail them as Americans in the making, or our broken immigration system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it. We don’t need more categories, but we need to change the way we think about categories. We need to look beyond strict definitions of legal and illegal. To start, we can recognize the new birds of passage, those living and thriving in the gray areas. We might then begin to solve our immigration challenges.Crop pickers, violinists, construction workers, entrepreneurs, engineers, home health-care aides and physicists are among today’s birds of passage. They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work, money and ideas .They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them , They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.With or without permission, they straddle laws, jurisdictions and identities with ease. We need them to imagine the United States as a place where they can be productive for a while without committing themselves to staying forever. We need them to feel that home can be both here and there and that they can belong to two nations honorably.Accommodating this new world of people in motion will require new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle .Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes. Including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.26. “Birds of passage” refers to those who____[A] immigrate across the Atlantic.[B] leave their home countries for good.[C] stay in a foregin temporaily.[D] find permanent jobs overseas.27. It is implied in paragraph 2 that the current immigration stystem in the US____[A] needs new immigrant categories.[B] has loosened control over immigrants.[C] should be adopted to meet challenges.[D] has been fixeed via political means.28. According to the author, today’s birds of passage want___[A] fiancial incentives.[B] a global recognition.[C] opportunities to get regular jobs.[D] the freedom to stay and leave.29. The author suggests that the birds of passage today should be treated __[A] as faithful partners.[B] with economic favors.[C] with regal tolerance.[D] as mighty rivals.30. Choose the best title.[A] come and go: big mistake.[B] living and thriving : great risk.[C] with or without : great risk.[D] legal or illegal: big mistake.。

Ted worked in a factory in a big town. He liked fishing very much, and was very good at it. Whenever he was free, he went to the small river behind the factory and tried to catch some fish, but there were very few there, because the river was polluted. Then one summer he went to the seaside during his holidays and stayed at a small cheap hotel.“I’ve never fished in the sea before,” he thought. “It will be rather different from fishing in our river.” On the first day he caught a lot of fish and was very happy. He gave them to the owner of the hotel, and he cooked them for all the guests, and they enjoyed them very much. After that, he did this every day. But “For oil to cook fish (7 days) $3.50.”1.During his holidays one summer, Ted went to the seaside to fish in the sea.2.Ted gave the fish to the hotel for nothing.3.When Ted got his bill, he felt surprised.4.Which of the following is TRUE? There were fewer fish in the river than in the sea.5.In the first paragraph, the word “polluted” means dirty.Helen Keller lived in the USA. She was a great woman.When Helen was a baby, she got very sick. After many weeks, the doctor said, “She is better, but now she can’t see and she can’t hear.” Her mother and father were very sad. After a few years, things got worse. There was no way for Helen to speak to other people. She heard nothing. She didn’t understand anything.Then one day a teacher came to live with Helen and her family. The teacher helped Helen learn words. Helen was a very bright child and soon she learned to spell her first word. When she was older, she went to college.Helen was a very old woman when she died.

For example, the tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable. It is one of the useful plants that can be prepared in many ways. It has rich nutrition and vitamins in it. But in the 18th century, Americas never ate tomatoes. They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty. But they thought the vegetable was poisonous. They called tomatoes “poison apples”.President Thomas Jefferson, however, knew that tomatoes were good to eat. He was a learned man. He had been to Paris, where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes. He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden. The President taught his cook a way to make a cream of tomato soup. This beautiful pink soup was served at the President’s party. The guests thought the soup tasted really good. They never thought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples. Jefferson never spoke to his honored guests about the fact.1.After you read the passage, which of the following do you think is true?

课间一群比我大点的孩子们总是围着我说啊、笑啊、眯眯眼做做鬼脸什么的,也有不停地给我手中或嘴里塞干粮的。

他们一听到铃声嘴里“ 哦———” 着飞也似的进了教室。

于是我便一人悠闲自在地在校园里溜达:一步一步地踱到东边看看美丽的花儿;爬到西边的球台上翻着晒晒太阳;听到南边教室里悠扬的歌声,于是又跑到窗户下踮着脚使劲儿地仰起头向里看;仰倦了头嘴里嘟嘟地哼着,若无其事的来到北面那两块瓷砖镶嵌的大地图下,看着那些花花绿绿的条条块块,也不知道是些什么。

如今,我已是那时年龄的四倍了,仍在这熟悉温暖的校园里,那时一切不懂的,今天都明白了。

那时的快乐依在,那时的天真依在。

不过现在我所看到的、听到的、感悟的比那时多得多了。

清晨的校园,阳光钻透东边茂密的柳林,斑驳的光点印在绿绿的草坪上。

无数只鸟儿横着或倒挂在柔柔的柳条上凑响清脆的晨曲。

在通向教师办公大楼的水泥道上,陆陆续续晃过一群高大的身影———我们的老师,他们又上班去了。

当校园正中升起鲜艳的五星红旗时,悦耳的歌声和朗朗的读书声早已把校园装点得生机勃勃。

我再不需要像过去那样踮脚仰头地去向往了。

我尽心地在这宽敞明亮的教室里学习,聆听着老师的教诲,享受着群体的温暖与关爱。

课间,我们三三俩俩去拉着或牵着幼儿班的那些小娃娃,说啊、笑啊、眯眯眼做做鬼脸什么的,也有不停地给他们手中或嘴里塞泡泡糖的。

有一天,我把三四个小娃娃牵到北面那两块瓷砖镶嵌的大地图下,学着老师的样子摇头晃脑、指着地图比比划划地讲:“这是中国,这是长江、那是黄河……,我们的学校在这里,要记住,别忘记。

看我的手好大,把一个省都罩住了。

” 小娃娃们叽叽喳喳地笑个不停,我也笑得前俯后仰。

上课铃响了,我们“哦———”着飞也似的进了教室。

那天我们进了教室,唱完了一首长长的歌,没见老师来,于是我站起来对大家说:“大家先读读书吧,我去办公室看看”。

2024年考研英语一真题答案及解析:阅读理解一(回忆版)Section II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts. Answer the questions after each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1Nearly 2,000 years ago, as the Romans began to pull out of Scotland, they left behind a curious treasure: 10 tons of nails, nearly a million of the things. The nail hoard wasdiscovered in 1960 in a four-metre-deep pit covered by two metres of gravel.Why had the Romans buried a million nails? The likely explanation is that the withdrawal was rushed, and they didn’t want the local Caledonians getting their hands on 10 tons of weapon-grade iron. The Romans buried the nails so deep that they would not be discovered for almost two millennia.Later civilisations would value the skilled blacksmith’s labour in a nail even more than the raw material. As Roma Agrawal explains in her new delightful book Nuts and Bolts, early 17th-century Virginians would sometimes burn down their homes if they were planning to relocate. This was an attempt to recover the valuable nails, which could be reused after sifting the ashes. The idea that one might burn down an entire house just to reclaim the nails underlines how scarce, costly and valuable the simple-seeming technology was.The price of nails fell by 90% between the late 1700s and mid-1900s, as economist Daniel Sichel points out in a research paper. According to Sichel, although the falling price of nails was driven partly by cheaper iron and cheaper energy, most of the creditgoes to nail manufacturers who simply found more efficient ways to turn steel into nails.Nails themselves have changed over the years, but Sichel studied them because they haven’t changed much. Roman lamps and Roman chariots are very different from LED strips and sports cars, but Roman nails are still clearly nails. It would be absurd to try to track the changing price of sports cars since 1695, but to ask the same question of nails makes perfect sense.I make no apology for being obsessed by a particular feature of everyday objects: their price. I am an economist, after all. After writing two books about the history of inventions, one thing I’ve learnt is that while it is the enchantingly sophisticated technologies that get all the hype, it’s the cheap technologies that change the world. The Gutenberg printing press transformed civilisation not by changing the nature of writing but by changing its cost —and it would have achieved little without a parallel collapse in the price of surfaces to write on, thanks to an often-overlooked technology called paper. Solar panels had a few niche uses until they became cheap;now they are transforming the global energy system.21. The Romans buried the nails probably for the sake ofA. saving them for future use.B. keeping them from rusting.C. letting them grow in value.D. hiding them from the locals.22. The example of early 17th century Virginians is used toA. highlight the thriftiness of early American colonists.B. illustrate the high status of blacksmiths in that period.C. contrast the attitudes of different civilisations towards nails.D. show the preciousness of nail-making technology at that time.23. What played the major role in lowing the price of nails after the late 1700s?A. Increased productivity.B. Wider use of new energies.C. Fiercer market competition.D. Reduced cost of raw materials.24. It can be learned from Paragraph 5 that nailsA. have undergone many technological improvements.B. have remained basically all the same since Roman times.C. are less studied than other everyday products.D. are one of the world’s most significant inventions.25. Which of the following best summaries the last two paragraphs?A. Cheap technologies bring about revolutionary change.B. Technological innovation is integral to economic success.C. Technology defines people’s understanding of the world.D. Sophisticated technologies develop from small inventions.。

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。

From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, e xperience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our atten tion so completely that for the time being we forget our surrou ndings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of th e greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment whe n we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact w ith good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and sati sfaction.With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely. Whe ther the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are pu rely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends . In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the goo d of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends who m we hold or because they present unfamiliar types whom w e are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human frie nds sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the pag e we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feeling s. When human friends desert us, good books are always rea dy to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement. One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. F ew of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of exp eriences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart's desire.Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains, brave the peril s of an Antarctic winter, or cross the scorching sands of the d esert, all without hardship. In books we may visit the studios o f Hollywood; we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Paris boulevards; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpin e village or the kindly natives on a island. Indeed, through bo oks the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties ofnature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the trium phs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.16. Why is it that we sometimes forget our surroundings and e ven our identity while reading?A. No one has come to disturb you.B. Everything is so quiet a nd calm around you.C. The book you are reading is so interesting and attractive.D. Your book is overdue; you are finishing it at a very fast spe ed.17. How would you account for the fact that people like their a cquaintances in books even more?A. They resemble human friends exactly.B. They are u nfamiliar types we like.C. They never desert us.D. They never hurt our feelings.18. Which of the following is true?A. Your wish to visit some far-off place can be realized through the pages of the books.B. To escape from the dull realities of everyday life you shoul d take up reading.C. Books can always help you to live a colourful life.D. You may obtain valuable experience from reading good bo oks.19. The word “weary” means ______.A. “to attract someone’s attention”B. “to distract someone’s attention”C. “to make someone very tired”D. “to make someone interested”20. “... the whole world is ours for the asking” implies that ___ _________.A. in books the world is more accessible to usB. we can ask to go anywhere in the worldC. we can make a claim to everything in this worldD. we can make a round-the-world trip free of charge(D)本书主要讲读好书的益处。

2012~2013年考研英语二阅读理解第一部分2012年Part ADirections:Read the following four texts.Answer the questions after each text by choosing A,B, C or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.(40points)Text1①Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents,but in recent years it has been particularly scorned.②School districts across the country,most recently Los Angeles Unified,are revising their thinking on this educational ritual.③Unfortunately,L.A.Unified has produced an inflexible policy which mandates that with the exception of some advanced courses,homework may no longer count for more than10%of a student’s academic grade.①This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homes might have in completing their homework.②But the policy is unclear and contradictory.③Certainly,no homework should be assigned that students cannot complete on their own or that they cannot do without expensive equipment.④But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of complicated family lives,it is going riskily close to the implication that standards need to be lowered for poor children.①District administrators say that homework will still be a part of schooling; teachers are allowed to assign as much of it as they want.②But with homework counting for no more than10%of their grades,students can easily skip half their homework and see very little difference on their report cards.③Some students might do well on state tests without completing their homework,but what about the students who performed well on the tests and did their homework?④It is quite possible that the homework helped.⑤Yet rather than empowering teachers to find what works best for their students,the policy imposes a flat,across-the-board rule.①At the same time,the policy addresses none of the truly thorny questions about homework.②If the district finds homework to be unimportant to its students’academic achievement,it should move to reduce or eliminate the assignments,not make them count for almost nothing.③Conversely,if homework matters,it should account for a significant portion of the grade.④Meanwhile,this policy does nothing to ensure that the homework students receive is meaningful or appropriate to their age and the subject,or that teachers are not assigning more than they are willing to review and correct.①The homework rules should be put on hold while the school board,which is responsible for setting educational policy,looks into the matter and conducts public hearings.②It is not too late for L.A.Unified to do homework right.21.It is implied in Paragraph1that nowadays homework.[A]is receiving more criticism[B]is gaining more preferences[C]is no longer an educational ritual[D]is not required for advancedcourses22.L.A.Unified has made the rule about homework mainly because poor students.[A]tend to have moderate expectations for their education[B]have asked for a different educational standard[C]may have problems finishing their homework[D]have voiced their complaints about homework23.According to Paragraph3,one problem with the policy is that it may.[A]result in students’indifference to their report cards[B]undermine the authority of state tests[C]restrict teachers’power in education[D]discourage students from doing homework24.As mentioned in Paragraph4,a key question unanswered about homework is whether.[A]it should be eliminated[B]it counts much in schooling[C]it places extra burdens on teachers[D]it is important for grades25.A suitable title for this text could be.[A]A Faulty Approach to Homework[B]A Welcomed Policy for Poor Students[C]Thorny Questions about Homework[D]Wrong Interpretations of an Educational PolicyText2①Pretty in pink:adult women do not remember being so obsessed with the colour,yet it is pervasive in our young girls’lives.②It is not that pink is intrinsically bad,but it is such a tiny slice of the rainbow and,though it may celebrate girlhood in one way,it also repeatedly and firmly fuses girls’identity to appearance.③Then it presents that connection,even among two-year-olds,between girls as not only innocent but as evidence of innocence.④Looking around,I despaired at the singular lack of imagination about girls’lives and interests.①Girls’attraction to pink may seem unavoidable,somehow encoded in their DNA,but according to Jo Paoletti,an associate professor of American Studies,it is not.②Children were not colour-coded at all until the early20th century:in the era before domestic washing machines all babies wore white as a practical matter,since the only way of getting clothes clean was to boil them.③What’s more,both boys and girls wore what were thought of as gender-neutral dresses.④When nursery colours were introduced,pink was actually considered the more masculine colour,a pastel version of red,which was associated with strength.⑤Blue,with its intimations of the Virgin Mary,constancy and faithfulness,symbolised femininity.⑥It was not until the mid-1980s,when amplifying age and sex differences became a dominant children’s marketing strategy,that pink fully came into its own,when it began to seem inherently attractive to girls,part of what defined them as female,at least for the first few critical years.①I had not realised how profoundly marketing trends dictated our perception of what is natural to kids,including our core beliefs about their psychologicaldevelopment.②Take the toddler.③I assumed that phase was something experts developed after years of research into children’s behaviour:wrong.④Turns out, according to Daniel Cook,a historian of childhood consumerism,it was popularised as a marketing trick by clothing manufacturers in the1930s.①Trade publications counselled department stores that,in order to increase sales, they should create a“third stepping stone”between infant wear and older kids’clothes.②It was only after“toddler”became a common shoppers’term that it evolved into a broadly accepted developmental stage.③Splitting kids,or adults,into ever-tinier categories has proved a sure-fire way to boost profits.④And one of the easiest ways to segment a market is to magnify gender differences—or invent them where they did not previously exist.26.By saying“it is...the rainbow”(Para.1),the author means pink.[A]cannot explain girls’lack of imagination[B]should not be associated with girls’innocence[C]should not be the sole representation of girlhood[D]cannot influence girls’lives and interests27.According to Paragraph2,which of the following is true of colours?[A]Colours are encoded in girls’DNA.[B]Blue used to be regarded as the colour for girls.[C]White is preferred by babies.[D]Pink used to be a neutral colour in symbolising genders.28.The author suggests that our perception of children’s psychological development was much influenced by.[A]the observation of children’s nature[B]the marketing of products for children[C]researches into children’s behaviour[D]studies of childhood consumption29.We may learn from Paragraph4that department stores were advised to.[A]classify consumers into smaller groups[B]attach equal importance to different genders[C]focus on infant wear and older kids’clothes[D]create some common shoppers’terms30.It can be concluded that girls’attraction to pink seems to be.[A]fully understood by clothing manufacturers[B]clearly explained by their inborn tendency[C]mainly imposed by profit-driven businessmen[D]well interpreted by psychological expertsText3①In2010,a federal judge shook America’s biotech industry to its core.②Companies had won patents for isolated DNA for decades—by2005some20%of human genes were patented.③But in March2010a judge ruled that genes were unpatentable.④Executives were violently agitated.⑤The Biotechnology Industry Organisation(BIO),a trade group,assured members that this was just a“preliminary step”in a longer battle.①On July29th they were relieved,at least temporarily.②A federal appeals court overturned the prior decision,ruling that Myriad Genetics could indeed hold patents to two genes that help forecast a woman’s risk of breast cancer.③The chief executive of Myriad,a company in Utah,said the ruling was a blessing to firms and patients alike.①But as companies continue their attempts at personalised medicine,the courts will remain rather busy.②The Myriad case itself is probably not over.③Critics make three main arguments against gene patents:a gene is a product of nature,so it may not be patented;gene patents suppress innovation rather than reward it;and patents’monopolies restrict access to genetic tests such as Myriad’s.④A growing number seem to agree.⑤Last year a federal task-force urged reform for patents related to genetic tests.⑥In October the Department of Justice filed a brief in the Myriad case, arguing that an isolated DNA molecule“is no less a product of nature...than are cotton fibres that have been separated from cotton seeds”.①Despite the appeals court’s decision,big questions remain unanswered.②For example,it is unclear whether the sequencing of a whole genome violates the patents of individual genes within it.③The case may yet reach the Supreme Court.①As the industry advances,however,other suits may have an even greater impact.②Companies are unlikely to file many more patents for human DNA molecules—most are already patented or in the public domain.③Firms are now studying how genes interact,looking for correlations that might be used to determine the causes of disease or predict a drug’s efficacy.④Companies are eager to win patents for“connecting the dots”,explains Hans Sauer,a lawyer for the BIO.①Their success may be determined by a suit related to this issue,brought by the Mayo Clinic,which the Supreme Court will hear in its next term.②The BIO recently held a convention which included sessions to coach lawyers on the shifting landscape for patents.③Each meeting was packed.31.It can be learned from Paragraph1that the biotech companies would like.[A]genes to be patentable[B]the BIO to issue a warning[C]their executives to be active[D]judges to rule out gene patenting32.Those who are against gene patents believe that.[A]genetic tests are not reliable[B]only man-made products are patentable[C]patents on genes depend much on innovation[D]courts should restrict access to genetic tests33.According to Hans Sauer,companies are eager to win patents for.[A]discovering gene interactions[B]establishing disease correlations[C]drawing pictures of genes[D]identifying human DNA34.By saying“Each meeting was packed”(Para.6),the author means that.[A]the supreme court was authoritative[B]the BIO was a powerful organisation[C]gene patenting was a great concern[D]lawyers were keen to attend conventions35.Generally speaking,the author’s attitude toward gene patenting is.[A]critical[B]supportive[C]scornful[D]objectiveText4①The great recession may be over,but this era of high joblessness is probably beginning.②Before it ends,it will likely change the life course and character of a generation of young adults.③And ultimately,it is likely to reshape our politics,our culture,and the character of our society for years.①No one tries harder than the jobless to find silver linings in this national economic disaster.②Many said that unemployment,while extremely painful,had improved them in some ways:they had become less materialistic and more financially prudent;they were more aware of the struggles of others.③In limited respects, perhaps the recession will leave society better off.④At the very least,it has awoken us from our national fever dream of easy riches and bigger houses,and put a necessary end to an era of reckless personal spending.①But for the most part,these benefits seem thin,uncertain,and far off.②In The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth,the economic historian Benjamin Friedman argues that both inside and outside the U.S.,lengthy periods of economic stagnation or decline have almost always left society more mean-spirited and less inclusive,and have usually stopped or reversed the advance of rights and freedoms.③Anti-immigrant sentiment typically increases,as does conflict between races and classes.①Income inequality usually falls during a recession,but it has not shrunk in this one.②Indeed,this period of economic weakness may reinforce class divides,and decrease opportunities to cross them—especially for young people.③The research of Till Von Wachter,the economist at Columbia University,suggests that not all people graduating into a recession see their life chances dimmed:those with degrees from elite universities catch up fairly quickly to where they otherwise would have been if they had graduated in better times;it is the masses beneath them that are left behind.①In the Internet age,it is particularly easy to see the resentment that has always been hidden within American society.②More difficult,in the moment,is discerning precisely how these lean times are affecting society’s character.③In many respects, the U.S.was more socially tolerant entering this recession than at any time in its history,and a variety of national polls on social conflict since then have shown mixed results.④We will have to wait and see exactly how these hard times will reshape our social fabric.⑤But they certainly will reshape it,and all the more so the longer they extend.36.By saying“to find silver linings”(Para.2)the author suggests that the jobless try to.[A]seek subsidies from the government[B]make profits from the troubled economy[C]explore reasons for the unemployment[D]look on the bright side of the recession37.According to Paragraph2,the recession has made people.[A]struggle against each other[B]realize the national dream[C]challenge their prudence[D]reconsider their lifestyle38.Benjamin Friedman believes that economic recessions may.[A]impose a heavier burden on immigrants[B]bring out more evils of human nature[C]promote the advance of rights and freedoms[D]ease conflicts between races and classes39.The research of Till Von Wachter suggests that in the recession graduates fromelite universities tend to.[A]lag behind the others due to decreased opportunities[B]catch up quickly with experienced employees[C]see their life chances as dimmed as the others’[D]recover more quickly than the others40.The author thinks that the influence of hard times on society is.[A]trivial[B]positive[C]certain[D]destructive2013年Part ADirections:Read the following four texts.Answer the questions after each text by choosing A,B, C or[D]Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(40points)Text1①In an essay entitled“Making It in America,”the author Adam Davidson relatesa joke from cotton country about just how much a modern textile mill has been automated:The average mill has only two employees today,“a man and a dog.②The man is there to feed the dog,and the dog is there to keep the man away from the machines.”①Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is largely because of the big drop in demand because of the Great Recession,but it is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution,which are more rapidly thanever replacing labor with machines or foreign workers.①In the past,workers with average skills,doing an average job,could earn an average lifestyle.②But,today,average is officially over.③Being average just won’t earn you what it used to.④It can’t when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor,cheap robotics, cheap software,cheap automation and cheap genius.⑤Therefore,everyone needs to find their extra—their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.①Yes,new technology has been eating jobs forever,and always will.②But there’s been an acceleration.③As Davidson notes,“In the10years ending in2009, [U.S.]factories shed workers so fast that they erased almost all the gains of the previous70years;roughly one out of every three manufacturing jobs—about6 million in total—disappeared.”①There will always be change—new jobs,new products,new services.②But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in globalization and the I.T. revolution,the best jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.①In a world where average is officially over,there are many things we need to do to support employment,but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G.I.Bill for the21st century that ensures that every American has access to post-high school education.21.The joke in Paragraph1is used to illustrate.[A]the impact of technological advances[B]the alleviation of job pressure[C]the shrinkage of textile mills[D]the decline of middle-class incomes22.According to Paragraph3,to be a successful employee,one has to.[A]adopt an average lifestyle[B]work on cheap software[C]ask for a moderate salary[D]contribute something unique23.The quotation in Paragraph4explains that.[A]gains of technology have been erased[B]job opportunities are disappearing at a high speed[C]factories are making much less money than before[D]new jobs and services have been offered24.According to the author,to reduce unemployment,the most important is.[A]to accelerate the I.T.revolution[B]to advance economic globalization[C]to ensure more education for people[D]to pass more bills in the21st century25.Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the text?[A]Technology Goes Cheap.[B]New Law Takes Effect.[C]Recession Is Bad.[D]Average Is Over.Text2①A century ago,the immigrants from across the Atlantic included settlers and sojourners.②Along with the many folks looking to make a permanent home in the United States came those who had no intention to stay,and who would make some money and then go home.③Between1908and1915,about7million people arrived while about2million departed.④About a quarter of all Italian immigrants,for example,eventually returned to Italy for good.⑤They even had an affectionate nickname,“uccelli di passaggio,”birds of passage.①Today,we are much more rigid about immigrants.②We divide newcomers into two categories:legal or illegal,good or bad.③We hail them as Americans in the making,or brand them as aliens to be kicked out.④That framework has contributed mightily to our broken immigration system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it.⑤We don’t need more categories,but we need to change the way we think about categories.⑥We need to look beyond strict definitions of legal and illegal.⑦To start,we can recognize the new birds of passage,those living and thriving in the gray areas.⑧We might then begin to solve our immigration challenges.①Crop pickers,violinists,construction workers,entrepreneurs,engineers,home health-care aides and physicists are among today’s birds of passage.②They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work,money and ideas.③They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them.④They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.①With or without permission,they straddle laws,jurisdictions and identities with ease.②We need them to imagine the United States as a place where they can be productive for a while without committing themselves to staying forever.③We need them to feel that home can be both here and there and that they can belong to two nations honorably.①Accommodating this new world of people in motion will require new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle.②Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes,including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.26.“Birds of passage”refers to those who.[A]stay in a foreign country temporarily[B]leave their home countries for good[C]immigrate across the Atlantic[D]find permanent jobs overseas27.It is implied in Paragraph2that the current immigration system in the US.[A]needs new immigrant categories[B]has loosened control over immigrants[C]should be adapted to meet challenges[D]has been fixed via political means28.According to the author,today’s birds of passage

Risk[C]With or Without:Great Risk[D]Legal or Illegal:Big mistakeText3①Scientists have found that although we are prone to snap overreactions,if we take a moment and think about how we are likely to react,we can reduce or even eliminate the negative effects of our quick,hard-wired responses.①Snap decisions can be important defense mechanisms;if we are judging whether someone is dangerous,our brains and bodies are hard-wired to react very quickly,within milliseconds.②But we need more time to assess other factors.③To accurately tell whether someone is sociable,studies show,we need at least a minute, preferably five.④It takes a while to judge complex aspects of personality,like neuroticism or open-mindedness.①But snap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli aren’t exclusive to the interpersonal realm.②Psychologists at the University of Toronto found that viewing a fast-food logo for just a few milliseconds primes us to read20percent faster,even though reading has little to do with eating.③We unconsciously associate fast food with speed and impatience and carry those impulses into whatever else we’re doing.④Subjects exposed to fast-food flashes also tend to think a musical piece lasts too long.①Yet we can reverse such influences.②If we know we will overreact to consumer products or housing options when we see a happy face(one reason good sales representatives and real estate agents are always smiling),we can take a moment before buying.③If we know female job screeners are more likely to reject attractive female applicants,we can help screeners understand their biases—or hire outside screeners.①John Gottman,the marriage expert,explains that we quickly“thin slice”information reliably only after we ground such snap reactions in“thick sliced”long-term study.②When Dr.Gottman really wants to assess whether a couple will stay together,he invites them to his island retreat for a much longer evaluation:two days,not two seconds.①Our ability to mute our hard-wired reactions by pausing is what differentiates us from animals:dogs can think about the future only intermittently or for a fewminutes.②But historically we have spent about12percent of our days contemplating the longer term.③Although technology might change the way we react,it hasn’t changed our nature.④We still have the imaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the high-speed trend.31.The time needed in making decisions may.[A]predetermine the accuracy of our judgment[B]prove the complexity of our brain reaction[C]depend on the importance of the assessment[D]vary according to the urgency of the situation32.Our reaction to a fast-food logo shows that snap decisions.[A]can be associative[B]are not unconscious[C]can be dangerous[D]are not impulsive33.To reverse the negative influences of snap decisions,we should.[A]trust our first impression[B]think before we act[C]do as people usually do[D]ask for expert advice34.John Gottman says that reliable snap reactions are based on.[A]critical assessment[B]“thin sliced”study[C]adequate information[D]sensible explanation35.The author’s attitude toward reversing the high-speed trend is.[A]tolerant[B]optimistic[C]uncertain[D]doubtfulText4①Europe is not a gender-equality heaven.②In particular,the corporate workplace will never be completely family-friendly until women are part of senior management decisions,and Europe’s top corporate-governance positions remain overwhelmingly male.③Indeed,women hold only14per cent of positions on European corporate boards.①The European Union is now considering legislation to compel corporate boards to maintain a certain proportion of women—up to60per cent.②This proposed mandate was born of frustration.③Last year,European Commission Vice President Viviane Reding issued a call to voluntary action.④Reding invited corporations to sign up for gender balance goals of40per cent female board membership.⑤But her appeal was considered a failure:only24companies took it up.①Do we need quotas to ensure that women can continue to climb the corporate ladder fairly as they balance work and family?①“Personally,I don’t like quotas,”Reding said recently.②“But I like what the quotas do.”③Quotas get action:they“open the way to equality and they break through the glass ceiling,”according to Reding,a result seen in France and other countries with legally binding provisions on placing women in top business positions.①I understand Reding’s reluctance—and her frustration.②I don’t like quotas either;they run counter to my belief in meritocracy,governance by the capable.③But, when one considers the obstacles to achieving the meritocratic ideal,it does look as ifa fairer world must be temporarily ordered.①After all,four decades of evidence has now shown that corporations in Europe as well as the US are evading the meritocratic hiring and promotion of women to top positions—no matter how much“soft pressure”is put upon them.②When women do break through to the summit of corporate power—as,for example,Sheryl Sandberg recently did at Facebook—they attract massive attention precisely because they remain the exception to the rule.①If appropriate pubic policies were in place to help all women—whether CEOs or their children’s caregivers—and all families,Sandberg would be no more newsworthy than any other highly capable person living in a more just society.36.In the European corporate workplace,generally.[A]women take the lead[B]men have the final say[C]corporate governance is overwhelmed[D]senior management is

阅读训练(一)开发太空资源宝库①许多人或许没有意识到,太空将逐步成为人类赖以生存的巨大的资源宝库。

目前研究已经知道,月球和其他行星上,存在着大量的铁、硅等资源。

而且,人类进入地球轨道和外层空间后会发现,资源不仅是人们传统意义上理解的矿藏,特殊的环境和条件也是人类可以利用的重要资源。

②高远的位置、空间微重力环境、强宇宙粒子射线辐射和高真空环境,就是这种地面所不具备的极其宝贵的资源。

③也就是说,高远位置也是一种资源。

人们都会有这种体会,站在地上只能看到眼前一点大的地方,站在高山上极目四眺,则“一览众山小”。

我们利用位置资源,已经发射了通信、气象和对地遥感卫星,促进了人类社会的进步。

④人之所以站在地球上而不会掉进茫茫太空,是由于重量和地球引力的存在。

而在太空中航天器里的物体,处于微重力状态,物体可悬浮空中飘忽不定。

空气、水受热后,不会出现上下对流的情况,比重不同的液体,可在一起和平共处。

这种奇特环境,对人类从事新材料加工,细胞、蛋白质晶体的生长与培养是十分有利的。

⑤我们每天呼吸的空气,其密度随离海平面距离的升高而减小,到达100公里以上的高度,已逐渐成为真空。

地球表面的大气层中,每立方厘米中合有10000兆个氮分子和氧分子,而在太阳系宇宙空间,纯净无污染,每立方厘米只有0.1个氢原子。

⑥另外,我们所居住的地球,被大气层包裹着。

这团大气层如同一张天幕,遮去了部分阳光,这张天幕被物理学家称为大气阻尼。

而宇宙空间充满着各种强烈的辐射,如银河宇宙线、大阳电磁辐射等,这将使种子、微生物以及各种细胞的遗传密码在排列上发生变化,从中会产生更有价值的新物质。

⑦40多年的空间研究向人们传递着这样的信息,外空资源是研究新材料、新工艺、新的微生物制品的绝妙实验场,是一座可源源不断掘出新物质的富矿。

1、文章第④段中的“奇特环境”是指,它对人类从事,是很有帮助的。

2、文章第⑤段运用了、的说明方法,第⑥段运用了、、的说明方法。

3、外层空间有哪些可供人类利用的资源?4、从写作角度看,文中哪两段的顺序需要调整?为什么?5、下列选项中不符合文意的两项是()A.研究表明外空资源是一座等待人类开发的富矿。
