AWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note—“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”—and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically（魔术般）appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn't freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery. There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete (竞争). Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practiced to have a delivery service. Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. 1 took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.56.

At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding? To see whether babies know objects are solid. T. Bower designed amethod for projecting an optical illusion()of a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could be expected to show surprised in their faces and movements, All the 16 to 24-week-old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there. Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land? Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to re-appear. If the experiment took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The re-searcher substituted(鏇挎崲) a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week-old babies did not seem to notice the switch(鏇存崲).Thus,the16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of 鈥渟omething permanence,鈥?while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object. 1.The passage is mainly about . A.babies鈥檚ense of sight B.effects of experiments on babies C.babies鈥檜nderstanding of objects D.different tests on babies鈥檉eelings 2.In Paragraph 3, 鈥渙bject permanence鈥?means that when out of sight, and object . A.still exists B.keeps its shape C.still stays solid D.is beyond reach 3.What did Bower use in his experiments? A.A chair B.A screen C.A film D.A box 4. 39.Which of the following statements is true? A.The babies didn鈥檛have a sense of direction. B.The older babies preferred toy trains to balls. C. The younger babiesliked looking for missing objects D.The babies couldn鈥檛tell a ball from its optical illusion. B The Three Gorges (涓夊场)Dam, the largest dam in the world, is also the largest engineering project on the face of the earth. It aims to make the mother of all floods, the Changjiang River, into a tame river and it will be the largest power source for much of eastern and central China.It will create a huge, deep-water lake, and make it possible for 10,000 ton ocean going ships to sail 15,000 miles inland from the Pacific to the city of Chongqing with its 30 million people, making it the word鈥檚largest river port. Construction has already started. The dam will be a-bout 6,860 feet long and 611 feet high, at a spot called Sandouping near Yichang. After many years of investigation(璋冪爺)experts have drawn a conclusion that this grand project will do a great deal of good. The most important thing is flood control.By building a dam instead of new coal plants to meet its growing demand for electricity, China will give off much less poisonous gases into the air. However, some scientists don鈥檛agree to the project. They say that Chongqing and dozens of other cities along the river will put much waste into the reservoir(姘村簱),which can do harm to people, fish and other living things that depend on the river. Sedimentation(娌夌Н)and damage of a breach (鍐冲彛)are problems, too. The Three Gorges Dam could be considered, when it is finished in 2009,a new eighth wonder of the world as to the size alone. 5. Which is not the purpose to build such a huge dam? A.To make electricity. B.To prevent floods. C.To improve navigation(杩愯緭) D.To make it a wonder. 6. Where does the dam lie ? A.Near Chongqing. B.Near Yichang. C.In the Three Gorges D.In Wuhan. 7. It will take about to complete the dam. A.eight years B.more than ten years C.half a century D.more than twenty years. 8. Some scientists fear that .A.when the dam is built, the balance of nature may be destroyedB. sedimentation may occurC.a breach may cause millions of people to die or to be homelessD.electricity will not be as much as expected 9. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT right? A.When finished, the dam will be one of themain bases of power source of China. B.People have different ideas about the setting up of the dam C.It will take many years to build the dam because people want to see whether it will be safe and strong enough. D.Chongqing will become the largest river port in the world when the dam is finished. C Foreigners are likely to acquire(鑾峰緱)more investment opportunities in china since the central government has passed a fresh regulation to Tuesday to attract foreign capital(璧勬湰) The regulation, which will take effect on April 1, out-lines how china will expand co-owned enterprisesre-form(浼佷笟鏀归潻) According to the regulation, overseas investors are expected to become shareholders in the key state-owned enterprises. Overseas investors will even allowed to hold the controlling stake(鎺ц偂)in the large state-owned enterprises, except for those of key importance to national or economic security. 鈥淐hina鈥檚WTO membership has reduced the risks and costs for foreign investors, and more capital and advanced techniques and expert knowledge or skill are expected to flown in,鈥漚n official said. In particular, the new regulationappeals(makes an ear-nest request) for capital for agricultural technology, transportation, energy and new material industry, The service industry, including banking, will gradually become another focal point of co-operation. The country hopes foreign investors start businesses in the western regions, where they will enjoy more favourable taxation policies for the nest 10years. 10.A great deal of foreign capital has come to china because .

Curious to know how her daughter would use the phone, Jane Bidder, the mother, followed Lucy to the school bus in the morning.The bus eats 20,of whom half have acell-phone.One rings and several adolescent owners feel in their bags. Many parents have just realize that the cell-phone is no longer only for traveling businessmen鈥昳t is as likely to be found in school bags. The cell-phone seems to have become something essential for today`s teens in Britain, according to a survey published last week, by NOP, a leading market research company in Britain.Research found that 66 percent of 16-year-olds now have access to a cell-phone. The cell-phone has been turned into a secret messaging service by teen-users.When they are talking on the cell-phone, their parents are not able to eavesdrop on the second line. The interviews with 2,019 young people aged 7 to 16 found that they favor the text massaging services because they offer a secret way of keeping in touch.The days of secret notes in the classroom are dying out. For example, 鈥渃ya鈥?means 鈥渟ee you鈥? 鈥渓ol鈥?means 鈥渓augh out loud 鈥?and 鈥?nite鈥漣s an abbreviation of 鈥渢onight鈥?All these are based on shorthand phrases used on the Internet.

ACharlie Boswell has always been a great hero. He has inspired thousands of people to rise above circumstances and live out true meaning of life.He was blinded during World War II while rescuing his friend from a tank that was under fire. He was a great athlete before the accident. In order to prove his talent and determination, he decided to try a brand new sport, a sport he never imagined playing, even with his eyesight –golf! Through determination and a deep love for the game he became the National Blind Golf Champion! He won that honor 13 times.One of his heroes was the great golfer Ben Hogan, so it truly was an honor for Charlie to win the Ben Hogan Award in 1958.Upon meeting Ben Hogan, Charlie was respectful and stated that he had one wish and it was to have one round of golf with the great Ben Hogan. Mr. Hogan agreed that playing a round together would be an honor for him as well, as he had heard about all of Charlie’s accomplishments and truly admired his skills.―Would you like to play for money, Mr. Hogan?‖ asked out Charlie.―I can’t play you for money, it wouldn’t be fair!‖ said Mr. Hogan.―Aw, come on Mr. Hogan…$ 1,000 per hole!‖―I can’t, what would people think of me, taking advantage of you and your circumstance?‖ replied the sighted golfer.―Chicken, Mr. Hogan?‖―Okay,‖ replied the embarrassed Hogan, ―but I am going to play my best!‖―I wouldn’t expect anything else,‖ said the confident Boswell.―Now that you’re on. Mr. Boswell, you name the time and the place!‖The very self – assured Boswell responded, ―10 o’clock … tonight!‖56．Why didn’t Mr. Hogan want to play Charlie for money?A．He was worried he would lose the match.B．He thought it was unfair for Charlie.C．He didn’t care about money.D．He preferred chicken to money.57．According to the text, what does the underlined word ―self - assured‖ probably mean?A．ignorant B．selfless C．confident D．sincere58．It can be inferred from the text that .A．Mr. Hogan was not good at playing golfB．Charlie did well in other sports before playing golfC．Mr. Hogan didn’t try his best to playD．Charlie Boswell was born blind59．What was the result of the match?A．Charlie won. B．Hogan won.C．Neither of them won. D．Not wentioned.60．Which of the following can best describe Charlie?A．Competitive and generous B．Energetic and reliableC．Careful and considerate D．Confident and smartBIn university application process the interview is of great importance. A quick look at interview tips will tell you to smile, make eye contact, and shake the interviewer’s hand firmly. Unfortunately, few tell you what it is that the interviewer is really looking for.To put it simply, they want to be able to imagine you at the university. Your job is to be able to give them that picture. So how do you do that? One of the interviewer’s jobs is to decide whether or not you are psychologically fit for their university. That means it is vital to behave as socially well – adjusted.Remember that most interviews, like battles, are won or lost before you ever go into them. I am constantly struck by that fact that many really smart, diligent students do little research before they go into their interview. So when asked questions, they often have butterflies in their stomachs. You should, for example, be able to find out where your interview –all with just a few minutes of googling.More importantly, you should do a lot of research on the university in question beyond simply knowing the school’s ranking in The US News and Word Reports. Interviewers hate it when you respond to the question ―Why do you want to attend this university?‖ with the answer ―Well, you know that it is a very famous school.‖ Think of it from the school’s point of view, after all, you want this school to select you rather than just another excellent Chinese student.Tell them why you would choose them rather than another excellent American university. If you are interested in biology, be sure to know the biology professors’ names. If you are interested in camping, be sure to know the name of the outdoors club at the school. Find ways to tie your interests and goals to what that school has to offer in particular.61．Some excellent student fail in interviews because they .A．know little about what the interviewers care aboutB．don’t know how to communicate in body languageC．haven’t any friends in the university they want to enterD．don’t know the ranking of the university in the US news62．What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 3 mean?A．have a stomachache B．get ex citedC．eat butterflies D．feel nervous63．Which of the following would impress the interviewers most?A．You can learn your favorite subject and fulfill your dreams there.B．You know the professor’s name of the subject you are interested in.C．The university is very famous and everybody wants to attend it.D．You can google out whatever you want to know on the Internet.64．The writer of the text advises you .A．to shake hands with the interviewers looselyB．to give your picture to the interviewers before handC．to research enough about the interview before handD．not to find out where the interviewers are from65．The text is most probably chosen from .A．a science news report B．an application websiteC．a book review D．a science fiction storyCSmart home applications can share all kinds of helpful information with homeowners, and a new housing platform can detect problems on electricity – and problems on the heart.―There is a growing population of elderly people, and statistics show that more and more of them are going to live alone in the home,‖ said Johann Siau, a senior lecturer in digital communication systems at the University of Hertfordshire in the U.K., who is leading the Inter Home project. The system was originally designed to provide remote access to a house so less energy is consumed. In a model of the system, the controllers connect safely to the Internet. The owner can then monitor them with a cell phone or computer. Users’response helps the system adapt to routines, saving electricity.Wile thinking about responding to user behavior and an increasingly elderly population, the researchers decided to add wristband technology that senses vitals such as body temperature and pulse, Siau said.―In the event that someone were to fall, it would detect the fall and it would immediately start the monitor of the pulse to see if the person has gone into shock,‖he said. ―It’s an early warning system that can inform any parties registered to monitor the person.‖The wristband communicates with the home system wirelessly. Data from the band can be safely piped to the home network and accessed by authorized users.A functioning model of the wristband technology exists, but it’s still too big. The team is working hard to reduce its size to a level where it could potentially be a wrist – sized product and is trying adding other services, including a system that could send a warning message if someone with Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆) were to get lost.Siau said that the university received government supporting money, enabling the researchers to work with the independent research firm on testing the platform in real houses.66．Who would benefit most from the new system?A．People who care about environmental pollution.B．Doctors who are responsible for patients with Alzheimer’s.C．Children who don’t want to take care of their elderly parents.D．Elderly people who need attention to their health conditions.67．The new system is smarter in the fact that .A．it can take people’s body temperature.B．it can help do some cooking workC．it can sense emergencies and give signalsD．it can prevent elderly people from falling68．The system was originally designed for the owner to .A．save energy B．to save strengthC．collect energy D．produce energy69．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．The wristband is small enough to wear around the wrist now.B．If someone falls, the system can hold the person up.C．The system can treat patients with diseases.D．The system has been tested in real houses.70．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A．Smart house feels your pain B．Smart house enters every familyC．Smart house saves money D．Smart house makes you comfortableDFor the first century or so of the Industrial Revolution, increased productivity led to decreases in working hours. A generation ago social planners worried about what people would do with all this new-found free time. In the US, at least, it seems they need not have bothered.Although the output per hour of work has more than doubled since 1945, leisure (freetime) seems reserved largely for the unemployed. Those who work full-time spend as much time on the job as they did at the end of World War II. In fact, working hours have increased noticeably since 1970. There are several reasons for lost leisure. Since 1979, companies have responded to improvements in the business climate by having employees work overtime rather than by hiring extra personnel. Most increased production doesn’t relate to the employment. Some firms are even downsizing as their profits climb. It’s more profitable to ask 40 employees to labor an extra hour each than to hire one more worker to do the same 40-hour job.Although employees complain about long hours, they, too, have reasons not to trade money for leisure. People who work reduced hours pay a huge price in career terms. It’s taken as a negative (负面的) signal about their commitment to the firm. Many managers find it difficult to measure the contribution of their staff to a firm’s well – being, so they use the number of working hours instead of the output to evaluate the employees. Well aware of this, employees adjust their behavior accordingly.It may take some time before workers can successfully trade increased productivity and money for leisure time. The reality is that the U.S. marker for goods has focused on fulltime, two- career households. Car makers no longer produce cheap models, and developers do not build the tiny bungalows that served the first postwar generation of house seekers.In a word, in U.S., goods are appropriate only for high incomes and long hours.71．What was the result of the industrial revolution?A．Less working time. B．More unemployment.C．Fewer factories. D．More jobs.72．have got more free time to enjoy themselves since 1945.A．The employees B．The unemployedC．The employers D．Social planners73．One reason why employees don’t want to trade money for leisure is that .A．they don’t want to be considered to be lazy.B．they have to pay a lot of money for leisure.C．their companies are lacking in employees.D．they love their companies so much.74．It can be inferred from the text that .A．employees are facing a reduction in working hours todayB．increased leisure time would benefit two – career householdsC．companies have no set standard to evaluate their staffD．high incomes don’t guarantee Americans enough leisure time75．The passage is mainly about .A．what has brought about less working timeB．why employees want to make more moneyC．why employees have less leisure timeD．what a good employee should be like2（2011·山东省泰安市泰安一中高三冲刺试题）第二部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节：阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

2011年高考英语试题考点分项解析阅读理解分类汇编之科普知识类（2011·湖南卷）CA recent study of ancient and modern elephant has come up with the unexpected conclusion that the African elephant is divided into two distinct (不同的)speciesThe discovery was made by researchers at York and Harvard University when they were examing the genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon modern elephants—the Asian elepphant, African forest elephant, and African savanna elephant.Once they obastain DNA sequences（序列）from two fossils（化石）,mammoths and mastodons, the team comparted them with DNA from modern elephants. They found their amazement that mordern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths.The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephant andthe African forest elephant have been distinct species for several million years. The divergenceof the two species took place around the time of the divergence of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths. This result amazed all the scientists.There has long been debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate species, but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.Previously, many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forestsignificant size elephants were two populationgs of the same species, despite the elephants’ differences. The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5 metres while the forest elephant has an averate shoulder double the weight of the forest elephant. But the fact that theylook so differrent does not neccssarily mean they are different species. However the prooflay inthe analysisi of the DNA.Alfried Roca, assitant professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at t he University of Illinois, said, “We now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two difficult units for conservation purpose. Since 1950, all Afican elephants have been conserved as one species.Now that we know the forest and savanna elephants have been distinct animals, the forest。

2011年高考英语故事类阅读理解专项训练.（2）(6)My father was a foreman of a sugar-cane plantation in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I’ve never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay; it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didn’t want to work.I was only six years old, but I was doing a man’s job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have.When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion and intensity. I learned working in the field — except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.1. The writer’s first job was _______.A. to stand down the fairway at a golf courseB. to watch over the sugar-cane plantationC. to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fieldsD. to spot the balls as they landed so the golfers could find them2.

You can't avoid a conflict at work. If you can avoid a conflict, it means you will win what you want regardless of what the other person wants. Since the potential issue has not been removed, it will simply reappear later. Here are the necessary steps to effectively get rid of conflicts at work.★ Realize that some conflicts are unavoidable at work. On numerous occasions, conflict and disagreement are likely to happen. But when a conflict happens it's not the end of the world. On the contrary, it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process. Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly. The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.★ Handle conflicts sooner rather than later. Solve a conflict when it starts, as it only gets worse with time going by. Conflicts at work arise not from something that was said, but from something that wasn't said! Everyone's waiting for the other to admit he's wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while. It's essential to interrupt the "waiting game" before it gets to that point.★Ask nicely.If somebody has done something that made you angry, or if you don't understand their viewpoint or actions, simply asking nicely about it can make a world of difference. Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you. Sometimes there's a good reason why that person does what he or she does, and a potential conflict disappear right there. Do remember to make an inquiry, not an accusation of any sort.★ Appreciate. Praise the other part in the conflict. Tell them why it's worth it to you to solve the conflict. This can be difficult as few people find it easy to praise and appreciate a person they disagree strongly with, but it's a great way to move forward.【答案】76. handle/ solve/ remove 77. disappear 78. Tips/ Suggest ions/ Advice79. cases/ circumstances 80.worse 81. mistake(s) /fault (s) 82. annoyed/ hurt/ angry83. accuse/blame 84. hard/ difficult 85.

2011年高考英语真题解析分项版汇编 专题08人物传记、故事类阅读理解
2011年高考英语试题考点分项解析阅读理解分类汇编之人物传记类〔2011·福建卷〕DJacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was one of the most private women in the world, yet when she went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed 〔展现〕herself as she did nowhere else.After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate〔巨头〕Aristotle Onassis, Jacqueline’s close friend and former White House social secretary Letitia Baldrige made a suggestion that she consider a career〔职业〕in publishing. After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it. Perhaps she hoped to find there some idea about how to live her own life. She became not less but more interested in reading. For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publisher’s editor, first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing〔追求〕a late-life career longer than her two marriages combined. During her time in publishing, she was responsible for managing and editing more than 100 successfully marketed books. Among the first books were In the Russian Style and Inventive Paris Clothes. She also succeeded in persuading TV hosts Bill Moyer’s and Jose Campbell to transform their popular television conversations into a book, The Power of Myth.The book went on to become an international best-seller. She dealt, too, with Michael Jackson as he prepared his autobiography〔自传〕, Moonwalk.Jacqueline may have been hired for name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her worth. Her choices, suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both to the publishing firms and to Jacqueline herself. In the books she selected for publication, she built on a lifetime of spending time by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her mind. Her books are the autobiography she never wrote. Her role as First Lady, in the end, was overshadowed by her performance as an editor. However, few knew that she had achieved so much.68.We can learn from the passage that Jacqueline _________A. because fond of reading after working as an editorB. was in charge of publishing 100 booksC. promoted her books through social relationsD. gained a lot from her career as an editor69. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that_________A. Jacqueline ended up as an editor rather as First LadyB. Jacqueline’s life as First Lady was more colorful than as an editorC. Jacqueline was more successful as an editor than as First LadyD. Jacqueline’s role as First Lady was more brilliant than as an editor70. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Jacqueline’s two marriag es lasted more than 20 yearsB. Jacqueline’s own publishing firm was set up eventuallyC. Jacqueline’s views and beliefs were reflected in the books she editedD. Jacqueline’s achievements were widely known.71.The passage is mainly______________A. an int roduction of Jacqueline’s life both as First Lady and as an editorB. a brief description of Jacqueline’s lifelong experiencesC. a brief account of Jacqueline’s career as an editor in her last 20 yearsD. an analysis of Jacqueline’s social relations in pu blishing〔2011·重庆卷〕DWilliam Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13,1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of ch ildhood but its pain〞. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family ——both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature , particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s.His early theatrical experiments,however,were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn’t lose heart,and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats’s poems attract much admiring notice.The subject matter includes love,nature,history,timeand aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very tradisional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Price in 1923.Yet,hecontinued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40,he would probably now his valued as a manor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats’s death in 1939, W.H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines:Earth,recive an honoured guest:William Yeats is laid to rest.Let the Irish vessel (船) lieEmptied of its poetry68.Which of the following can describe Yeats’s family?A.It filled Yeats’s childhood with laughter.B.It was shocked by Yeats’s choice.C.It was a typically wealthy family.D.It had an artistic atmosphere.69.According to thse passage,what do we know about Yeats’s life?A.Yeats founded the first Irish theater.B.Yeats stuck to modern forms in his peotry.C.Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.D.Yeats was not favored by the publie until the 1923 Noble Prize.70.What kind of feeling is expressed in W.H.Auden’s lines?A.EnvyB.SympathyC.EmptinessD.Admiration71.What is the passage mainly about?A.Yeats’s literary achievement sB. Yeats’s historical infuluenceC. Yeats’s artistic ambitionD. Yeats’s national honor【文章大意】著名爱尔兰诗人叶芝早年的创作具有浪漫主义的华丽风格，善于营造梦幻般的气氛，后来，其创作风格发生了改变，晚年更是佳作频出。

2011年高考英语分类汇编之阅读理解中最难语篇2011年高考落下帷幕，笔者将18套卷进行了分析，下面这些语篇应该是令学生比较头疼的文章，让每周只有五课时的高中生来做的确有些难。
每篇文章都给出了上榜理由。
1.（2011·重庆卷）E【上榜理由】本文是一篇议论文。
文章讲的是怀疑论和环保媒体报道的关系，本文的确难懂。
Skeptics are stange lot.Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the enviroment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them. Those people,say skeptics, spread noting but bad news about the environment.The ―eco-guilt‖brought on by the discouraging nes about our planet gives rise to the popularity od skeptice as people search for more comforting worldviews.Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity.That book ,The Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it measures the ―real state of the world‖as fine. Of course ,another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special intererts. Indeed, Mr. Lomborg’s views are similar to those of some Industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities though the media to confuse the public aboat issues like global warming.So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborg’s book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even w ith the conclusion that ―After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.‖Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborg’s ―preference for unexamined materials is incredible（不可信的）‖。
2011年高考英语真题阅读理解译文(全国卷)
2011年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（全国卷）英语第三部分阅读理解第一节A当牛奶来敲门20世纪60年代，我在新泽西州长大，当时，我们有一位送奶工会把牛奶送到我们家门口。
他的名字叫Basille先生。
他头戴着一顶白色帽子，开着一辆白色卡车。
对于一个5岁的孩子来说，我总是情不自禁地盯着他系在腰带上的自动换币机看。
有一天他在送奶时注意到了我这个行为，就从自动换币机里取出二十五分的硬币给了我。
当然,他送的不只是牛奶，还有奶酪、鸡蛋等等。
如果我们需要改变我们的订单，我母亲就写一个便条——“下次送奶时请增加一瓶酪乳”，然后连同空瓶一起放在箱子里。
所有的这些都不仅仅是便利，还有家家户户和他们的送奶工亲密的关系。
Basille先生甚至都有我们家的钥匙，因为有段日子外面太冷我们只好把奶箱放到室内，这样牛奶就不会冻住。
我记得Basille先生时不时在我家厨房餐桌旁歇息，喝杯茶，还一边讲述他送奶的故事。
难过的是，如今却没有送奶上门的服务了。
大公司获准生产价格更为便宜的牛奶，这使送奶工很难与其竞争。
此外，到处都有售卖牛奶的地方，这也还有，牛奶随处可买，因此，送奶服务可能就没有实用性了。
最近，我在农村看到的一个老旧的牛奶箱勾起了我对儿时的回忆。
我将它带了回来装在了后门的门廊上。
每每我儿子的朋友们问到这是什么的时候，我就跟他们讲起我孩提时候的故事，还有那个既给我们送来牛奶又为我们带来友谊的送奶工人的故事。
B似乎高大有其显而易见的不适之处，而矮小有其美好之处，尤其是在宾馆住宿和在餐馆就餐的时候。
六个月前为了发起满足高个子人群需求的运动而成立的“大不列颠高个子俱乐部”（TPCGB）已经将其目光聚焦到了宾馆和饭店。
这个俱乐部表示，宾馆里的床太小，淋浴喷头太低，饭店的桌子底下几乎没有放腿的空间，这些都给那些超出平均身高的人带来了很多生活上的困难。
然而，不仅仅是那些大高个儿们的需求得不到满足，现在人口的平均身高在不断上升，但是床铺、门廊、和椅子的尺寸却一直没有变化。

2011年全国高考英语阅读真题A详解
2011年全国高考英语阅读真题A详解When milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I cou ldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer 自动换币器fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.56. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer ________.A. to show his magical powerB. to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosityD. to please his mother57. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?A. He wanted to have tea there.B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member.D. He was fully trusted by the family.58. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is forbidden by law.59. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He missed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.【语篇解读】本文是一篇人物故事类的记叙文。

I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise ,I feel extremely tired, but a smile is of my face. It's a smile because the DVD is over , but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.Some people enjoy shopping, smoking , food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my "no thank you," or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years , I have learned it's okay to just say "no." I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self -confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It's throughcommitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.41.Why is there a smile on the author's face in the morning?A.

As always, it was a busy one, for "Six days shall you labor and do all your work" was taken seriously back then. Outside,Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets , they had sent him to the kitchen for string(线). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.My mother looked at the sitting room ,its furniture disorderd for a thorough sweeping, Agun she cast a look toward the window. "Come on, girls ! Let's take string to the boys and watch themOn the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing somethingwrong, together with her girls.There never was such a day for flying kited! We played all our fresh string into the boys' kites and they went up higher and higher .We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down it the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth , just for the joy of sending it up again.Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. "Perhaps it's like this in the kingdom of heaven," I thought confusedly.It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to house. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been a surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was , we didn't mention that day afterward. I flt a little embarrassed .Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep"the things that cannot be and yet they are."The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to "gopark ,see duck.""I can't go!" I said. "I have this and this to do, and when I'm through I'll be too tired to walk that for."My mother , who was visiting us , looked up from the peas she was shelling ,"It's a wonderful day,"she offered，"Really warm , yet there's a fine breczc . Do you remember that day we flew kites?"I stopped in my dash between stove and sink . The looked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. "Come on."I told my little girl. "You're right , it's too good a day to miss."Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath (余波)of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely , but now for a long time he had been silent . What was he thinking of - what dark and horrible things?"Say!" A smile slipped out from his lips . "Do you remember --- no, of course you wouldn't . It probably didn't make the impression on you as it did on me."I hardly dared speak."Remember what ?""I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp(战俘营), when things weren't too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?"56.Mrs. Patrick was laughing guilnly because she thought .A. she was too old to fly kitesB. her husband would make fun of herC. she should have been doing her housework thenD. her girls weren't supposed to play the boy's game57.

Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. "Wait a minute" someone might say, "are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?"The position was offered at the last minute, and I was giventwo weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, "Hello, class. I'm Mr. Davis." Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required."All right then," I said. "Okey, here we go." Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forests of hands. Every student would yell. "Calm down, you'll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!"A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.36.

2011年高考英语阅读理解分类汇编之故事类1.（2011•江苏卷）DShay asked, ―Do you think they‘ll let me play?‖ Shay‘s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence. Shay‘s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much.
