And Julie Andersen of the Plastic Oceans Foundation says what we see is just the ti p of the problem. “Half of the waste actually sinks to the bottom, and that remains on the surface actually breaks down. ”The filmmakers found rubbish in ocean gyres, the circulating currents that trap large concentrations of pollution in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacifc Oceans, home of what some have plastic. What we found was a plastic smog that spread throughout all the water. And in some parts of the oceans, scientists have found more plastic than plant. ”The pieces of the plastic garbage infect the food chain, sometimes visibly, and more so at the microscopic level, where the plastic particles interact with other pollutants. “There are heavy metals, medicines, industrial waste in the sea, while it acts like magnets(磁铁). These poisonous substances absorb on the plastic, and then when seafood absorbs the plastics, those poisonous substances enter the fatty tissues. ”To be consumed by other sea life and by people at last. China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam are the worst plastic polluters. The United States, although a leader in recycling, is one of the world's 20 since it produces and consumes so much plastic. There are efforts around the world to address the problem, including at this newly opened recycling center in Lebanon(黎巴嫩).

（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套（带答案）及解析（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解One of the biggest problems when we are talking is the awkward silence. Encountering this situation is so uncomfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the past, I struggled wit h this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something… But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you would otherwise have missed out on.After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and found that one of these common behaviors is the habit of filtering (过滤)--holding back from saying something until you've "checked" to make sure that what you're about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you don't know how to change from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. It's fun to realize that you're allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you don't say anything that could land you in jail (监狱).All of the "Oh! That's interesting…" "Hmm, I've never heard of that" "Hmm, cool!" expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that you're really listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, they'll hang around and want to talk to you even more.Everyone knows that stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if it's not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the harder they are to forget.（1）If people can deal with the awkward silence, they can .A. train their working skillB. improve their life qualityC. enrich their social lifeD. establish their working relationship（2）When talking with others, we should .A. feel nervousB. think twiceC. be free to expressD. avoid breaking in （3）According to the passage, what do the speakers care much about?A. The attractive topics of conversation.B. The atmosphere of the conversation.C. The listener's experiences and tastes.D. The listener's curiosity and concern.（4）What does the underlined part "juice-up conversations" mean?A. making conversations more boringB. making conversations livelierC. making conversations smootherD. making conversations more relaxing【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文本文是一篇议论文，我们谈话时最大的问题之一是尴尬的沉默。
【2014】高考英语阅读理解巩固精品题练习(21)及答案
2014高考英语阅读理解巩固精品题练习（21）及答案阅读理解-----AYesterday’s paper had a short article about the Coming-of-Age ceremony in a large city in Japan. According to the article, the mayor of the city formally apologized to an enraged professor who delivered a speech at the ceremony that was all but ignored by 20-year-olds in the city.The officials prepared 7,000 seats in a gymnasium where the ceremony was held for the 17,000 twenty-year-olds residing in the city. But most of the seats were empty during the speech. And many of the 20-year-olds who did show up ignored the professor and spoke among themselves or talked on their mobile phones. Some even made a ruckus outside the gymnasium.One 20-year-old who attended the ceremony said youngsters came to the ceremony not to listen to the speech but to see their classmates. The mayor criticized the young generation at a news conference on Tuesday, saying such behavior “is symbolic of the postwar era which failed to nurture healthy character and social intelligence.”Perso nally, I feel people shouldn’t generalize the whole generation or the whole era when he criticizes something. But it is also true that the generation gap is getting bigger and bigger r egarding the ceremony of Coming-of-Age Day. So far this ceremony has be en held with citizens’ tax money. Many older generations understand this festival as an entrance ceremony of adults’ world which requires maturity including responsibility, patience, and cooperativeness. Older people tend to be “educational” to younger ones, while younger people tend to feel they finally obtain a right to behave freely because they are now adults. Though, ironically, young people have to ask their parents to buy them new clothes for the ceremony.It is about time to change the way we celebrate this festival, I think. The idea of blessing new 20-year-olds is not so bad. But there seems to be some other ways to celebrate more properly. The present way seems to me a little superficial and materialistic. It can provide solutionless arguments between different generations, instead of friendships and respects. Instead of eternally complaining about the young’sbehavior at the ceremonies, people should consider how they can make their ceremo nies worthier, I feel.41. When the professor was giving a speech the 20-year-olds are not ______.A. talking with each otherB. chatting on their mobile phonesC. talking with the professorD. making ruckus outside42. According to the author,______.A. the festival is an entran ce ceremony of adult’s world which requiresmaturity including responsibility, patience, and cooperativenessB. the younger tend to obtain a right to behave freely because they arenow adultsC. young people have to ask their parents to buy them new clothes for theceremonyD. it’s time to end complaining about the young’s behavior at the ceremonies,and people should consider how to make their ceremonies worthier43. What’s the best title for the article?A. There Are Solutionless Argument Between Different GenerationsB. Coming-of-Age Ceremony Should Be Much WorthierC. Old People Should Be Educational to Young PeopleD. The Younger Ones’ Behavior参考答案41-43 CDB【甘肃省金昌二中2013模拟】CHow can a creature weighing over 5 ton s and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment?In the southwest African country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further north, the desert elephant does just that.Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert cousin differs in many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their feet are larger foreasier walking across sandy surfaces, they are taller, to reach higher branches. They have shorter tusks（象牙）, and most importantly, longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds. Desert elephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have a larger group of families. They drink only every 3 –4 days, and can store water in a “bag” at the back of their throat, which is only used when badly needed. Desert elephants are careful feeders – they seldom root up trees and break fewer branches, and thus maintain what little food sources are available. Young elephants may even eat the dung（粪便）of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage.During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will increase gre atly. Desert elephants have sand baths, sometimes adding their own urine（尿液）to make them muddy!As we continue to overheat our weak planet, it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.49．The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means “”.A．remains in the African countries B．drinks 120 liters of water a dayC．manages to live in desert areas D．eats 150 kilograms of food daily50．Desert elephants are called careful feeders because they _________.A．rarely ruin trees B．drink only every 3-4 daysC．search for food in large groups D．protect food sources for their young51．The author answers the question raised in the first paragraph with __________. A．stories and explanation B．facts and descriptionsC．examples and conclusion D．evidence and argument52．What can be inferred from the last sentence in the passage?A．Overheating the earth can be stopped.B．Not all animal species are so adaptable.C．The planet will become hotter and hotter.D．Not all animals are as smart as desert elephants.【参考答案】49—52、CA BB阅读理解-----“Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door. Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fer tilizing have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The ca ge I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.Now the tas k I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold. First, I have to find the red ones, among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. Second, I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I pick tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.Here I am faced with a painful small decision. To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow.44. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of roses?A. A lot of care and the right light.B. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.C. Tomato plants grown alongside.D. Cages placed around the roots.45. The writer planted the tomato because_______A. it cost only $1.25B. the soil were just right for itC. there was room for it in the gardenD. the roses’ branches needed to be covered46. This year the write r’s roses were ______A. removed from the rose bedB. picked along with the tomatoesC. mostly damaged by too much sunlightD. largely hidden under the tomato plant47. By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to ______A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoesB. show the hardship of growing the rosesC. express her liking for the rosesD. express her care for the tomatoes48. In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that ______A. the roses cost the writer little moneyB. the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoesC. someone will help the writer make the decisionD. the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoes参考答案44-48 ACDAB阅读理解1. The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before. Changes for the better, changes for the worse, changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger. Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science.2. Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It hasgiven us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe. It has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.3. The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings; in pure science—a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning; in applied science--- a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protection of the environment.4. Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the d evelopment and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons. Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals.5. William Shakespeare said, “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.” The above brief review the application of only one part of human activities—science seems to prove what Shakespeare said. But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war?49. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A. 1B. 12 2 33 4 45 5C. 1D. 12 3 4 2 3 4 5550. From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that ______.A. a great many nuclear weapons were actually used for warB. a large number of nuclear weapons should have been used for warC. the author is doubtful about the ruin of human beings by nuclear warD. the author is anxious about the huge number of nuclear weapons on theearth51. The under lined word “mingled” most probably means______A. simpleB. mixedC. sadD. happy52. What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues towrite?A. Further application of science to war.B. More reading of William Shakespeare.C. Proper use of science in the new century.D. Effective ways to separate the good from the ill.参考答案49-52 ADBD【甘肃省金昌二中2013模拟】DAfter we meet people, it is up to us to make them our friends．Let us stop a moment and consider what really makes a friend. The major qualities like faithfulness, devotion, friendliness，flash through our minds. But it is the large number of very small particular qualities that make up one’s whole character, such as cheerfulness, friendlines s and punctuality.

There are particular favorable qualities, which attract others to us, and some fundamental psychological do’s and don’ts．If you are in the presence of a shy person, talking and asking casual questions may bring him out of his shell.

ALast year, I lived in Chile for half a year. I lived with a Chilean family and had the responsibilities of any Chilean teenager. I had good days and bad days I didn’t understand.Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp. When I arrived there, I was scared. It was so different from what I was used to. There were lots of dogs on the streets, and there was no downtown, few smoothly paved streets, and little to do for entertainment. Rain was not seen very often, earthquakes and windstorms were frequent.I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock. I couldn’t speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many.Most exchange students experience this like me. Culture shock presents itself in everything from increased aggression (敌对心理) towards the people to lack of appetite. I was required to overcome all difficulties.As time passed, everything changed. I began to forget words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy.But the sacrifices were nothing compared to the gain. I learned how to accept and to succeed in another culture. I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others.1.

If you plan to visit the Shanghai Expo this summer, China Pavilion is a must-see area for you.China Pavilion, which is called Oriental Crown（东方之冠）, is located at the center of the Expo site. Standing 63 meters tall, the China Pavilion takes the shape of an emperor’s crown, with the upper layers larger than the lower ones. Covering 160,000 square meters in floor space, the pavilion consists of a national hall and a regional hall. Construction on the China Pavilion began on December 18, 2007. The design of the China Pavilion was picked from a total of 344 designs put forward by Chinese from around the world. The pavilion possesses both traditional and modern features, which helps develop the theme of the 2010 Expo: “ Better City, Better Life”. For example, it is red in appearance, which contains the elements of traditional Chinese culture, and it is green indoors, with the use of energy-saving techniques. The Shanghai World Expo is expected to attract70 million visitors from across the globe. It is estimated that 400,000 people will visit the Expo and its 140 pavilions every day during the period, but the China Pavilion is only able to receive about one tenth of the total. How to accommodate so many people in the pavilion remains a tough task. Luckily, the China Pavilion is built as a permanent landmark.During the Expo, the main structure will be used for an exhibition based on the theme of “ Chinese wisdom in urban development” by explaining the values of harmony, nature and spirit. The three-story pavilion has three sections. The top floor’s “Footprint of the East” will show some of the changes in Chinese cities. There, you can see a film which shows how Chinese cities have changed, especially in the past 30 years. According to Lu Chuan, director of the film, the scenery is like something from Lord of the Rings. On the second floor, “Journey of Wisdom” will explain China’s four great inventions. And the ground’s “Blossoming City” will display scenes from cities of the future.6. Which of the following words can be used to describe the China Pavilion?A. TinyB. RoundC. Exotic（异国情调的）D. Environmentally-friendly7. From the passage, we can infer that _____.A. China Pavilion will be pulled down after the World Expo 2010 is overB. China Pavilion will probably continue to be open to visitors after the Expo is overC. you can continue to visit the other pavilions after the Expo is overD. some foreign friends took part in the designs of the China Pavilion8. On the second floor, you can _________.A. enjoy a film about the changes of cities in ChinaB. learn what Shanghai looked like in the 1920sC. find out how paper was inventedD. see how Chinese cities will look like in the futureCDisposing of the garbage we produce every day is a major problem in cities around the world. In the United States, over 160 million tons of garbage is produced every year. Ten percent is recycled, ten percent is burned, and the rest is put in landfills. But finding land for new landfills isbecoming more difficult.A city that has solved this problem in an unusual way is Machida in Tokyo. They have developed a totally new way of dealing with garbage. The key to the operation is that people should work together. Families must divide their garbage into six groups:1. garbage that can be easily burned, such as kitchen and garden trash2. garbage that does n’t burn easily, such as plastic tools and plastic toys3. products that are poisonous or that cause pollution, such as batteries4. bottles and glass containers that can be recycled5. metal containers that can be recycled6. large items, such as furniture and bicyclesThe items in Groups 1 to 5 are collected on different days. Large items are only collected upon request. Then the garbage is taken to a centre that looks like a clean new office building or hospital. Inside the centre, special equipment is used to sort and deal with garbage. Almost everything can be reused: garden or kitchen trash becomes fertilizer; garbage that can burn is burned to produce electricity; metal containers and bottles are recycled; and old furniture, clothing, and other useful items are cleaned, repaired, and resold cheaply or given away. The work provides employment for the disabled and gives them a chance to learn new skills.Nowadays, officials from cities around the world visit Machida to see whether they can use some of these ideas and techniques to solve their own garbage problems.9. Each year people in the U.S.A. have to find places to put in _______ million tons of garbage.A.160B.128C.16D.3210. George’s family has the following garbage: wooden chairs,empty tins and branches. Into which group should he put the garbage?A. Group 6, Group 5, Group 1.B. Group 1, Group 3, Group 2.C. Group 6, Group 5, Group 2.D. Group 6, Group 4, Group 1.11. From the text we know that ________ .A. those who are working at the garbage disposal centre are disabled persons.B. without people’s cooperation, the garbage disposal project would be a failure.C. the items in Group1 and Group6 are not collected on the same day.D. the garage is taken to a clean new office building for disposal.DIt is time for students to sell such things as chocolate bars and greeting cards to raise money for their school, class or club. It is inevitable that they will knock on your door and you will easily hand over your cash for overpriced items that you really do not want. That is okay, though, because there are many reasons why children should be allowed to raise money for their schools and clubs.Fundraising（募集资金）is a great way to help children learn social skills. It is not easy to go up to a complete stranger and ask him for his money. They have to nicely ask for help, show the interested buyer what they have to offer and explain how it will help them in school. If someone refuses to buy an item, that child has to take the failure in stride(不特别费力地), and that is a learning lesson as well.Students can learn how to deal with money by fundraising. Of course, it might seem safer for us to take charge of our chi ldren’s earnings from their fundraising before it is turned into the school. However, by making them keep track of it, count it, and make sure everyone pays the right amount, they are learning an important lesson. Dealing with money is important to know about when they are older.Fundraising helps improve their schools. It is the children’s school. They have to learn there and grow there. Why not let them help in making it a better place?Fundraising allows for more life experiences for the child. The raised money is used towards things like parties, trips, or for the music club to go to see a Broadway play. The children receive the rewards for their hard work at raising the money. Without fundraising, these field trips and special school memories would be missed.In a word, fundraising helps children a lot in many ways.12. The underlined word “inevitable” in the first paragraph means “_______”.A. 不可能的B. 不恰当的C. 不可避免的D. 不现实的13.One of the important indications that children are grown up is that __________.A. children can deal with moneyB. children learn to care for othersC. children make a date with friends of the other sex1—15 DCABC DBC BAB CACA。

In part one, I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy.Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy: the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value. In the final chapter of part one, I’ll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I’ll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1，600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You’ll hear these participants’ stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what traps they encountered that you should avoid.The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate (培养) a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters, I examine issues such as the importance of solitude (独处) and the necessity of cultivating high－quality leisure to replace the time most now spend on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices, which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that words for your particular circumstances.1. What is the book aimed at?A.

考点巩固卷阅读理解之记叙文2023年高考真题【2023▪新高考I卷】When John Todd was a child,he loved to explore the woods around his house,observing how nature solved problems.A dirty stream,for example,often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived.When he got older,John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.After studying agriculture,medicine,and fisheries in college,John went back to observing nature and asking questions.Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria(细菌)?Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals?With the right combination of animals and plants,he figured,maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did.He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge(污泥).First,he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other.Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals.He placed them in the tanks and waited.Little by little,these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem.After a few weeks,John added the sludge.He was amazed at the results.The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it!Within weeks,it had all been digested,and all that was left was pure water.Over the years,John has taken on many big jobs.He developed a greenhouse—like facility that treated sewage(污水)from1,600homes in South Burlington.He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou,a city in southeast China.“Ecological design”is the name John gives to what he does.“Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,”he says.“You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening.Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”4.What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?A.He was fond of traveling.B.He enjoyed being alone.C.He had an inquiring mind.D.He longed to be a doctor.5.Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?A.To feed the animals.B.To build an ecosystem.C.To protect the plants.D.To test the eco-machine.6.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou?A.To review John’s research plans.B.To show an application of John’s idea.C.To compare John’s different jobs.D.To erase doubts about John’s invention.7.What is the basis for John’s work?A.Nature can repair itself.anisms need water to survive.C.Life on Earth is diverse.D.Most tiny creatures live in groups.【答案】4.C5.D6.B7.A【解析】【导语】这是一篇记叙文。

Every corner is a wood and stone masterpiece, with high glass windows that look out to the huge cliffs of the valley.A man entered with his family and took a seat. He wasn't in uniform, but he walked with the dignity of a soldier, and a slight limp (跛行). My suspicion was confirmed when he removed his hat and placed it on the table where I could see it. Embroidered (刺绣) on the cap were the words: “Iwo Jima Survivor”．As they were waiting for lunch, the others were talking happily, and this gentleman was staring out of the window. He was content to be left out of the conversation and allowed to take in the wonderful and impressive view of the waterfall.I watched him, and imagined how many horrors he had seen in the war. What losses did he suffer, and how many friends did he lose? What he had witnessed should have given him a good reason to lose faith in the world. Yet this tired soldier was smiling at the sky, at the sun and the roar of the waterfall. Somehow, after everything, the world was still beautiful to him.I walked over to him and said, “Excuse me, sir. I'm sorry to interrupt, but I saw your hat, and I just wanted to say thank you for serving.”He looked up at me, surp rised, and said proudly, “You're wele, and thank you, too.”I told him I would go home and tell my children about this experience that I'd met him.1．What can we know about the place where the author enjoyed lunch?A．It was only open to people of the upper class.B．It was once visited by many famous people.C．It was attractive because of its beautiful surroundings.D.It was modeled on scenes from American history.2．What can we learn from the passage?A．The author at first thought the gentleman was famous.B．The gentleman stood out because of his uniform.C.The gentleman's family didn't like to talk with him.D.The gentleman wasn't expecting the author to thank him.3．What encouraged the author to talk to the soldier?A.The soldier's disability.B．The soldier's loneliness.C．The soldier's contribution to his country.D．The soldier's bravery to fight in the war.4．What is the author's attitude toward the soldier?A．Admiring. B．Satisfied.C．Sympathetic. D．Doubtful.Ministers first predicted it would generate, the first official data on the policy has shown.First announced in April, 2016, the tax which applies to soft drinks containing more than 5g of sugar per 100ml, was introduced to help reduce childhood obesity (肥胖). It is believed that today's children and teenagers are consuming three times the remended level of sugar, putting them at a higher risk of the disease.Initially the sugar tax was expected to make ￡520m a year for the Treasury. However, data of the first six months showed it would make less than half this amount. At present it is expected to generate ￡240m for the year ending in April 2019, which will go to school sports.It es after more than half of soft drinks sold in shops have had their sugar levels cut by manufacturers (制造商) so they can avoid paying the tax. Drinks now contain 45 million fewer kilos of sugar as a result of manufacturers' efforts to avoid the charge, according to Treasury figures. Since April drinks panies have been forced to pay between 18p and 24p for every litre of sugary drink they produce or import, depending on the sugar content.However, some high sugar brands, like Classic Coca Cola, have accepted the sugar tax and are refusing to change for fear of upsetting consumers. Fruit juices, milkbased drinks and most alcoholic drinks are free of the tax, as are small paniesmanufacturing fewer than 1m litres per year.Today's figures, according to one government official, show the positive influence the sugar tax is having by raising millions of pounds for sports facilities (设施) and healthier eating in schools. Helping the next generation to have a healthy and active childhood is of great importance, and the industry is playing its part.5．Why was the sugar tax introduced?A．To collect money for schools.B．To improve the quality of drinks.C．To protect children's health.D．To encourage research in education.6．How did some drinks panies respond to the sugar tax?A．They turned to overseas markets.B．They raised the prices of their products.C．They cut down on their production.D．The reduced their products' sugar content.7．From which of the following is the sugar tax collected?A．Most alcoholic drinks. B．Milkbased dr inks.C．Fruit juices. D．Classic Coke.8．What can be inferred about the adoption of the sugar tax policy?A．It is a shortsighted decision.B．It is a success story.C．It benefits manufacturers.D．It upsets customers.Ⅲ.书面表达[2023·包头四中月考]假定你校英语社团将举办以“Follow Your Dreams”为主题的英语演讲活动。
【2014】高考英语阅读理解巩固精品题练习(20)及答案
2014高考英语阅读理解巩固精品题练习（20）及答案阅读理解As motorways become more and more blocked up with traffic, a new generation on flying cars will be needed to ferry people along skyways. That is the conclusion of engineers from the US space agency and aeronautical firms, who envision future commuters traveling by “skycar”.These could look much like the concept skycar shown in the picture, designed by Boeing research and development. However, such vehicles could be some 25 years from appearing on the market. Efforts to build flying vehicles in the past have not been very successful. Such vehicles would not only be expensive and require the skills of a trained pilot to fly, but there are significant engineering challenges involved in developing them. “When you try to combine them you get the worst of both worlds: a very heavy, slow, expensive vehicle that’s hard to use,” said Mark Moore, head of the personal air vehicle(PAV) division of the vehicle systems program at Nasa’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, US. But Boeing is also considering how to police the airways-and prevent tota l pandemonium(吵杂狂乱的喧闹)-if thousands of flying cars enter the skies.“The neat, gee-whiz part is thinking about what the vehicle itself would look like,” said Dick Paul, a vice president w ith Phantom Works, Boeing’s research and development arm. “But we’re trying to think through all the consequences of what it would take to deploy(散开) a fleet of these.”Past proposals to solve this problem have included artificial intelligence systems to prevent collisions between air traffic. Nasa is working on flying vehicles with the initial goal of transforming small plane travel. Small planes are generally costly, loud, and require months of training and lots of money to operate, making flying to work impractical for most people. But within five years, Nasa researchers hope to develop technology for a small plane that can fly out of regional airports, costs less than $100,000(£55,725), is as quiet as a motorcycle and as simple to operate as a car.Although it would not have any road-driving capabilities, it would bring this form of travel within the grasp of a wider section of people. The new technology wouldautomate many of the pilot’s functions. This Small Aircraft Transportation System(Sats) would divert pressure away from the “hub-and-spoke(中心辐射型)” model of air tra vel. Hub-and-spoke refers to the typically US model of passengers being processed through large “hub” airports and then on to secondary flights to “spoke” airports near their final destinations.49. The best title for this text would be .A. Developing SkycarsB. The Traffic Jams in the SkyC. How to Guide Flying Cars in the SkyD. What Flying Cars Will Look Like50. The underlined word “envision” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “”.A. seeB. expectC. thinkD. announce51. When engineers develop the skycars, they have to deal with the following difficulties except .A. how to fly out of regional airportsB. how to prevent the disorder of the airwaysC. how to reduce expenses and the vehicle’s weightD. how to fly the skycars to enter skies52. Now Nasa researchers’ aim is to .A. make big flying carsB. work out the plan——how to transform small plane travelC. develop a new kind of small plane different from the traditional oneD. build a new kind of small plane with road-driving abilities参考答案AADC（三）[2013·安徽省级示范高中名校联考]Switzerland is the best place to be born in the world in 2013，and the US is just 16th. A new study made by the Economist Intelligence Unit says American babies will have a dimmer future than those born in Hong Kong，Ireland and even Canada. The EIU，a sister company of the Economist，tried to measure how well countries will provide the best opportunities for a healthy，safe and prosperous life in years to come.People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best quality of life judged in terms of wealth，health and trust in public institutions，according to the analysis. The Scandinavian countries of Norway，Sweden and Denmark also all make the top five in a ‘quality-of-life' index(指数)highlighting where it is best to be born next year.One of the most important factors is being rich，but other factors come into play—including crime，trust in public institutions and the health of family life. In total，the index takes into account 11 factors. These include fixed factors such as geography，others that change slowly over time such as demography (人口统计学)，social and cultural characteristics, and the state of the world economy. The index also looks at income per head in 2030，which is roughly when children born in 2013 will reach adulthood. Small economies take up the top 10 countries，with Australia coming second and New Zealand and the Netherlands not too far behind.Half of the top 10 countries are European，but only one，the Netherlands，is from the euro-zone. The crisis-ridden south of Europe，including Greece，Portugal and Spain，falls behind despite the advantage of a favourable climate. Interestingly，the largest European economies—Germany，France and Britain—do not do particularly well. Nigeria has the unenviable(不值得羡慕的)title of being the worst country for a baby to enter the world in 2013.11．According to the passage，the happiest people live in________．A．Denmark B．SwitzerlandC．Germany D．Nigeria12．The factors of telling the best place to be born don't include________．A．economyB．geographyC．trust in public institutionsD．pollution13．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A．The Economist Intelligence Unit is a company.B．The Economist attempted to measure the best place to live.C．The Scandinavian countries are hardly at the top of the list.D．Half of the top 10 countries are from the eurozone.14．The purpose of the text is to show people________.A．the best place to be born in 2013B．a new study made by the EIUC．the worst country to be born in 2013D．the factors of measuring the best place to be born【语篇导读】本文主要通过经济学人智库对国家的幸福指数的研究得出在瑞士出生的人是最幸福的，生活质量也最高，而挪威、瑞典和丹麦这几个斯堪的纳维亚国家也跻身前五名。

定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校2014高考英语阅读理解巩固精品题练习（24）及答案阅读理解Over two hundred years ago, Adam Smith introduced some ideas which brought about a world revolution．If we enjoy a high standard of living in modem society, we owe much to this Scottish economist and philosopher．If we enjoy driving in beautiful cars, wearing fashionable shoes, or flying away to distant places for exciting holidays, we should perhaps pay thanks to the man who made it all possible．What was Adam Smith’s contribution? Like so many ideas w hich have surprising effects, his was a simple one．He watched workers practicing their craft（工艺） of pi11 making．One man would heat the strip of metal, stretch it out, cut off a suitable length, shape it, cool it and finally smooth and shine it．Smith drew attention to the advantages which could be gained if these various tasks were performed by different workers．Let one be responsible for preparing the metal．Another for stretching and cutting．Another for shaping．Another for finishing．He described the technique as the Division of Labor; in this way workers repeat the same actions again and again．Smith made the world believe that specialization could solve the problem of poverty and want．What was the result? The Industrial Revolution．Productivity was greatly increased．For Britain, where the revolution started, there was a prosperity which made it the richest country in the nineteenth century．British trains and railway lines spread out like a spider’s web across the world． British ships were used to carry the new goods from one comer of the world to another．The revolution is not over．It is still with us, but now it is a worldwide phenomenon （现象）． Everywhere, factories are producing large numbers of similar products, and are in continuous production．What were called mass - production lines yesterday are called robotic productions today．The pace of change is increasing．And if these techniques have brought us prosperity, they have also brought us a little misery in overcrowded towns, boring jobs and, most of all, unemployment．57．What would be the best tide for the text?A．The Causes of Industrial RevolutionB．Adam Smith, the Economist and PhilosopherC．The Industrial Revolution and Its SignificanceD．The Theory of Division of Labor and Its Significance58．We should be grateful to Adam Smith because _____．A．his ideas made it possible for people to improve their lives?B．he invented a more efficient way of pin makingC．he brought to people a high standard of livingD．he started the industrial revolution59．Which of the following is true according to the text?A．The Division of Labor makes work more interesting．B．Adam Smith insisted that each worker be better paid．C．Specialization could solve the problem of unemployment．D．Adam Smith put forward the idea of the Division of Labor．60．We can learn from the text that the Industrial Revolution .A．led to Adam Smith’s idea of specializationB．was finished in the nineteenth centuryC．also has its side —effects in societyD．put an end to poverty in the world参考答案第三部分阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)【福建师大附中2013模拟】AOn August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley saved me.The previous afternoon, I played with my six-year-old peers in Heather Peters’ backyard. I was enjoying my cake, when Heather asked me where my sleeping bag was. Only then did I know this party was a sleepover. The word “sleep-over” to a six-year-old bed-wetter is like what “cancer” means to an adult. But what if I told them I was a bed-wetter? At least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it.I thought of a way to escape. I would explain that I needed my mother's permission to spend the nights. But as I called my Mom, Heather stood beside me to listen. She granted permission! Then I would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls. I didn't bring my own pajamas (睡衣)，so Mrs. Peters offered me Heather's pajamas.As the other girls drifted into their sweet dreams, I tried to stay awake. “Do I need to go again? I'll stay up to go one more time.. .”.Of course , I finally fell asleep.The next morning , I was the first to wake up. I was warm! I lay in panic for what seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up. I did the only thing I could do — I pretended that the bed-wetting didn't happen. I got up, took off Heather's pajamas and changed into my clothes like the other girls.Mrs. Peters walked into the room, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of my wet pajamas. My heart stopped as I watched her face burn red. “WHO DID THIS?” She screamed, with a look so frightening. Should I answer? And that was when it happened — Mr. Peters came in and grabbed his wife , ‘‘Elvis Presley died!”The news of the King's death overtook Mrs. Peters, and I ,was spared.I got home without the other girls knowing what had happened.56. The author had to spend the night at Peters' because ________.A. she enjoyed her cake thereB. her mother asked her to do soC. the famous singer Elvis Presley died that nightD. she and her friends were having a sleepover party57. Mrs. Peters got angry because ________.A. she found the wet pajamasB. Elvis Presley passed awayC. her husband was rude to herD. all the girls slept at her house58. From the story, we know Mrs. Peters was ________.A. a crazy womanB. a fan of Elvis PresleyC. a woman for perfectionD. a woman who hated to wash pajamas59. The passage is mainly about ________.A. an embarrassing childhood incidentB. an adventure experienceC. a friendship between two girlsD. an unfriendly hostess 【参考答案】56-59 DABAAJacqueline 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）Aristotie Onassis, Jacqueline’s close friend and former White House social secretary Letitia Baldrige made a suggestion that she consider a career in publishing．After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it．Perhaps she hoped to find some ideas about how to live her own life．She became not less but more interested in reading．For the last 20 years of her life, Jacque line worked as a publisher’s editor, first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing 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 Moyers and Joseph Campbellto transform their popular television conversation into a book, The Powerof Myth. The book went on to become an international best-seller．She dealt ,too, with Michael Jackson as he prepared his autobiography，Moonwalk．Jacqueline may have been hired for her 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 andto 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．41．We can learn from the passage that Jacqueline ____________.A．was in charge of publishing 100 booksB．gained a lot from her career as an editorC．promoted her books through social relationsD．became fond of reading after working as an editor42．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that .A．Jacqueline ended up as an editor rather than as First LadyB．Jacqueline was more successful as an editor than as First Lady C．Jacqueline’s life as First Lady was more colorful than as an editor D．Jacqueline’s role as First Lady was more brilliant than as an editor43．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Jacqueline’s achievements were widely knownB．Jacqueline’s two marriages lasted more than 20 yearsC．Jacqueline’s own publishing firm was set up eventuallyD．Jacqueline’s views and beliefs were reflected in the books she edited44．The passage is mainly __________.A．a brief description of Jacqueline’s lifelong experiencesB．an analysis of Jacqueline’s social relations in publishing C．a brief account of Jacqueline’s career as an editor in her last 20 yearsD．an introduction of Jacqueline’s life both as First Lady and as an editor参考答案BBDC 【甘肃省嘉峪关市一中模拟】DWhen a child is told he is "uncool", it can be very painful. He may say he doesn't care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But ultimately, these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending it's not there.Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, "Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn't matter!" children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, "I'm going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school."If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child's popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.There are things that parents can do at home, too.

While Sara felt Betty didn't hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there's no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I'm finished or fail to take your turn when I'm finished. That's what was happening with Betty and Sara.It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversationtechniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping. And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in--and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.That's why slight differences in conversational style--tiny little things like microseconds of pause-can have a great effect on one's life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems---even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.45. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?A. Betty was talkative.B. Betty was an interrupter.C. Betty did not take her turn.D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.46. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?A. Americans.B. The British.C. Israelis.D. The Finns.47. We can learn from the passage that ___________.A. one should receive training to build up one's confidenceB. one's inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimesC. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the USD. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacing48. The underlined word "assertiveness" in the last paragraph probably means __A. being willing to speak one's mindB. being able to increase one's powerC. being ready to make one's own judgmentD. being quick to express one's ideas confidently参考答案 CCBD阅读理解Runners in a relay race pass a stick in one direction. However, merchants passed silk, gold, fruit, and glass along the Silk Road in more than one direction. They earned their living by traveling the famous Silk Road.The Silk Road was not a simple trading network. It passed through thousands of cities and towns. It started from eastern China, acrossCentral Asia and the Middle East, and ended in the Mediterranean Sea. It was used from about 200 B C to about 1300 A D., when sea travel offered new routes. It was s ometimes called the world’s longest highway.However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries. The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return safe.The Silk Road got its name from its most prized product. Silk could be used like money to pay taxes or buy goods. But the traders carried more than just silk. Gold, silver, and glass from Europe were much found in the Middle East and Asia. Horses traded from other areas changed farming practices in China. Indian merchants traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese merchants traded paper, which produced an immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft (嫁接) different trees together to make new kinds of fruit.They passed this science on to others, including the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow the apple. Trading along the Silk Road led to world-wide business 2,000 years before the World Wide Web.The people along the Silk Road did not share just goods. They also shared their beliefs. The Silk Road provided pathways for learning, diplomacy, and religion.49. It’s probable that tr aders along the Silk Road needed ________.A. to deal with a lot of difficultiesB. to know the making of productsC. to receive certain special trainingD. to remember the entire trade route50. The Silk Road became less important because ________.A. it was made up of different routesB. silk trading became less popularC. people needed fewer foreign goodsD. sea travel provided easier routes51. New technologies could travel along the Silk Road because people ________.A. shared each other’s beliefsB. learned from one anotherC. traded goods along the routeD. earned their living by traveling52. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Silk Road: East Meets WestB. The Silk Road: Past and PresentC. The Silk Road: Routes Full of DangersD. The Silk Road: Pathways for Learning参考答案 ADBA。

【2014】高考英语阅读理解巩固精品题练习(9)及答案
2014高考英语阅读理解巩固精品题练习（9）及答案阅读理解-----C7[2013·天津卷] DWhen asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.For kids, happiness has a magical quality.Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫无掩饰的)．In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes.Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity.I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.In adulthood the things that bring deep joy—love, marriage, birth—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss.For adults, happiness is complicated(复杂的)．My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”．The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are.It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday.First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch－box and had the house to myself.Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love.When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work.I don't think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either.She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we've got to have.We're so self－conscious about our “right” to it that it's making us miserable.So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier.Happiness isn't about what happens to us—it's about how we see what happens to us.It's the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative.It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess.51．As people grow older, they ________．A．feel it harder to experience happinessB．associate their happiness less with othersC．will take fewer risks in pursuing happinessD．tend to believe responsibility means happiness52．What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 5 and 6?A．She cares little about her own h ealth.B．She enjoys the freedom of traveling.C．She is easily pleased by things in daily life.D．She prefers getting pleasure from housework.53．What can be inferred from Paragraph 7?A．Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness.B．Psychologists' opinion is well proved by Grandma's case.C．Grandma often found time for social gatherings.D．Grandma's happiness came from modest expectations of life.54．People who equal happiness with wealth and success ________．A．consider pressure something blocking their wayB．stress their right to happiness too muchC．are at a loss to make correct choicesD．are more likely to be happy55．What can be concluded from the passage?A．Happiness lies between the positive and the negative.B．Each man is the master of his own fate.C．Success leads to happiness.D．Happy is he who is content.【要点综述】本文是一篇议论文。

2013高考英语二轮阅读理解精选（24）及答案ANowadays, millions of lonely singles are now going online instead. The World Wide Web is quickly becoming the world’s most popular matchmaker（媒人）.Singles are flocking（涌向）to the Internet mainly because their busy lifestyles leave them little time to look for a significant other. Using dating sites（约会网址）is quick and convenient. Many singles say the regular dating scene has just led them from one bad experience to another and are ready to try something else. Dating sites also make it easy to avoid someone you are not interested in. In the real world, however, ignoring someone you don’t like can be difficult.Despite all the advantages, online dating also presents its own set of problems.

You are just likely to find a criminal online as you are Mr. or Miss Right.Online dating experts recommend following a few safety tips:Guard your personal information. Never give out your personal information online. This includes your last name, phone number, home address and place of work. Watch for red flags. Do any of the people you are chatting with make disrespectful comments? Do they try to control you? Do they give false information about themselves? If so, forget them!Meet in a safe place. When meeting someone in person, choose a public location with other people around.Following these tips and you might be able to find the person of your dreams. 56. According to the passage, many lon ely singles don’t appreciate the regular datingscene because it is _____________.A. unpopularB. troublesomeC. convenientD. forgettable57. The underlined words in the second paragraph “a significant other” means_______”.A. a true friendB. a matchmakerC. a marriage partnerD. a happy family58.

From this passage, we can infer that ____________.A. there are mostly homely and unemployed people onlineB. the police had better find criminals onlineC. we can find love only through the dating sitesD. following safety tips ensures a safe online dating experienceBBy 2012，the world may need to cope with as many as 50 million people who have fled their homeland，not for political or economic reasons but because the environment has been so badly changed that it cannot support life. The statement has been released by the United Nations to mark UN Disaster Reduction Day.More people are made homeless by environmental disasters than by war，according to the research by the Red Cross. That reality is proved by the earthquake in Pakistan.The widely publicized disaster has brought aid from the global community，according to Janos Bogardi，director of the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security. “If we can move swiftly in and give them a new start where they are，then they may stay in the area. Otherwise，they become environmental refugees. Environmentalrelated migrations are most acute in SubSaharan Africa，but they alsoaffect millions of people in Asia and India. Meanwhile，the United States is witnessing increased pressure from victims of mismanaged and worsening soil and water conditions in Mexico and Latin America.” he says. Janos Bogardi says these refugees suffer from the impact of gradual environmental change—global warming，sea level rise，air and water pollution and more intense storms，floods and droughts that degrade the land. This is a slow process，but unfortunately a process that is very difficult to go backwards once final damage is done.Janos Bogardi says they are calling on the global community to recognize the serious situation of environmental refugees and to work together to lessen the impact of environmental disaster.60. What may be the best title of the passage?A. 50 Million environmental refugees by 2010B. Environmental refugees—an international problemC. The cause of environmental disastersD. Global aid pouring in61. Janos Bogardi’s attitude towards solving the problem is that of being ________.A. constructiveB. compromisingC. controversialD. conservative62. According to the passage，the following are the main reasons for migrations except________.A. earthquakeB. water conditionsC. global communityD. worsening soil63. What is implied in the passage?A. People all over the world have realized the impact of environmental disasterson refugees.B. It is time for us to take some measures to solve the problem of environmentalrefugees.C. The damaged soil can recover soon if people take care of it.D. It is good for people to go elsewhere to make a living.CSupermarket Morrisons today announced to launch an online shopping operation within two years in a move to catch up with its web-savvy rivals. The UK's fourth biggestsupermarket said would offer grocery and non-food products but would take time to build from zero.As part of its online development, Morrisons - the only one of the "Big Four" grocers to have a significant internet business - revealed it had invested £32 million in a 10% stake of a New York-based online grocer. The announcement came as Morrisons posted a 13% increase in underlying pre-tax profits of £869 million in the year to January 30.Morrisons is implementing a growth strategy which is focused on expanding its e-commerce business and moving into the convenience store market. It has earmarked £3 billion in investment over the next three years. The supermarket floated the idea of launching its own website last year and today is the first firm commitment to realising that goal.Last month, the company took its first major step to launching an online operation with the acquisition of internet retailer Kiddicare for £70 million. The company said this move, along with the 10% "strategic" stake in American online grocer FreshDirect announced today, would help it launch its own website in the future. FreshDirect was launched in 2002 and serves 600,000 customers in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The deal will see Morrisons chief executive Dalton Philips join the company's board.Morrisons also revealed it would open three convenience stores, around 3,000 sq ft in size, in July under the name M Local. The shops will be located in Morrisons' heartland in the north of England, in neighbourhoods around the M62 motorway. The company said the convenience business was the second-fastest growing part of the market. Rival models include Tesco Metro and Sainsburys Local.64. FreshDirect severs 600,000 customers in .A．Connecticut B．New Jersey C．New York D．certain states65. Which would help Morrisons launch its own wesbsite in the future?A．Taking measures to beat its rivals as quickly as it couldB．Offering enough grocery and non-food products from zeroC．Building more convenience stores and market in the United StatesD．Launching an online operation with the acquisition of interest retailer66. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A．Morrisons Has Many Business RvialsB．Morrisons Will Launch an Online OperationC．Morrisons Switches to Run Online ShoppingD．Morrisons Wants to Establish BranchesDThe word “death” is a word many Chinese friends tell me I should not say aloud. They advise me to avoid the word because only speaking of it may bring ill fortune.I deeply believe, however, that to know how to live, we must also know how to die. The problem is how we talk about death.Like everyone in Taiwan this week, I have had “Tomb Sweeping Day”. I am proud to be part of a people whose culture sends millions of families to cemeteries on this special day to share memories and endless love.Today, eight days after the death of Pope John Paul II, millions of people of all backgrounds still grieve(悲痛) his passing away. He was a deeply human person who knew how to laugh and show emotions, a writer with a gift for words a leader who appealed to us by the sheer light of his love for life.On the same day and only hours before the Holy Father left us, a friend of mine named Veronica McBride died of cancer in a small Wisconsin city. My friend Veronica was 52 years old. She was an attractive, humorous young woman who, as the saying goes, “never married”. She published several humor books with her mother, M ary McBride. She enjoyed traveling, and for years sent Christmas card photos of herself standing beside monuments or odd animals. She fought cancer for five years. She joked about her treatment keeping her pretty because it kept her thin, and told me she d idn’t mind losing her hair because of chemo therapy. “I get to wear nice wigs!”The last time I saw Veronica was when I visited her family on a sunny day in August in 2003. When she burst into the front door later and saw me in the living room, she ignored me completely in her hurry to hug her newest baby nephew, leaving me shaking my head in laughter at her.As we look to the significance of the Holy Father and his life, surely we must alsokeep our eyes open to see the wonder and goodness in ordinary people who show us how to live and how to die.67. The purpose of the article is ___________.A. to memorize his friend VeronicaB. to talk about the significance of life and deathC. to teach us how to face life and deathD. to compare his friend and the Holy Father Pope John Paul II68. The underlined phrase “chemo therapy” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.A. a medical treatmentB. a kind of cancerC. a kind of medicineD. the newest machine69. Why does the writer compare the Holly Father with his friend?A. Because they are both the persons he admires.B. Because they have a lot in common.C. Because he wants to show that ordinary people can be great as well.D. Because he wants to memorize them both.70. From the phrase “burst into”, we can see that Veronica is ____________.A. braveB. sportiveC. humorousD. energetic参考答案56—59 BCAD 60—63 BACB 64—66 DDB 67—70CACD。

I had great enthusiasm and high hopes, and I wasn't let down.It's hard to describe how I felt when I arrived at the airport in New York. Looking at people of different races and nationalities passing by and hearing different languages all around me, I couldn't say anything for a long time. I had never understood the cultural diversity of the US so clearly and closely before.The following days were even more impressive. We integrated(融入)into the forest of concrete and cement(混凝土和水泥). We waved to the Statue of Liberty; we looked down at the busy island of Manhattan; we looked at well-known universities—Harvard of ancient Egypt.Then we visited some well-known university—Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia—each with its own appealing and time-honored history. But what all these universities have in common is their peaceful academic atmospheres witch you could feel everywhere. I was impressed by the libraries, decorated just like cathedrals(教堂), and the laboratories just next to the classroom. My dream is to return to those places as an international student.Finally came our destinations—the Model United Nations conference at the University of Chicago. Students from various countries arrived to act as United Nations delegations and share their opinions about global issues.As a non-native speaker, I felt that competing against native speakers was a very tough task. But it was also a rare change to improve my English and I couldn't throw it away. With perseverance and devotion. I got used to talking to other delegations naturally.

高考英语阅读理解试题(及答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．（2019•浙江）阅读理解California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor（因素）.The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick Mclntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources（资源）.But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, Mclntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt（融雪）.Since the 1930s, Mclntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.（1）What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B. The increasing variety of California big trees.C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.（2）Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?A. Ecological studies of forests.B. Banning woodcutting.C. Limiting housing development.D. Fire control measures.（3）What is a major cause of the water shortage according to Mclntyre?A. Inadequate snowmelt.B. A longer dry season.C. A warmer climate.D. Dampness of the air.（4）What can be a suitable title for the text?A. California's Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon.C. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D. Patrick Mclntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California【答案】（1）A（2）D（3）C（4）A【解析】【分析】本文属于议论文，围绕加利福尼亚的大树从20世纪30年代以来大量减少为主题，探讨出现这一现象的原因。

为了帮助大家，店铺分享了一些高考英语阅读理解题，希望能对大家有所帮助!高考英语阅读理解题【1】One morning, when we had been riding on our bikes for five hours, we came to a bridge where the railway crossed a pond(池塘). For 30 feet there was nothing but the widely-spaced wooden sleepers(枕木) under our wheels, and nothing to stop us falling into the steaming pond below if we lost our balance. Right under the bridge lay the body of a dead cow. I watched Mat as he came near to the bridge and rode straight over, without ever, slowing down. I stopped.“What’s up?” he cried out from the other side.“I’m not riding over that thing. If I slip, I’ll be in there with that cow,” “There’s nothing to it. I just did it. didn’t I?”“You’re stronger and taller. My feet don’t touch the ground. You do it for me!”Mat said strength didn’t come into it and rode off. I knew he would give me at least an hour before coming to help. The sun burned my face, sweat ran off my forehead into my eyes and stuck my blouse(女衬衫) to my body. Try myself rather than wait for Mat to help. I rode back to get a good run-up and over I went. Mat was that right： all the difficulties were in the mind.1. The bridge looked dangerous to the girl because .A. there was a 30 foot drop to the water belowB. it had nothing at the sidesC. there were pieces of wood all over the roadD. there was a railway line below2.

They will turn themselves o ff—and on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity. A sensor(传感器) will find the presence of a human (and, with luck, ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it w ill turn them off again.The sensors will work through the central home computer, and t hey will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you.

They will detect(发现) fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call th e fire brigade. It will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal card—the one you use for shopping—maybe using a number known only to you.It will be impossible to lose the key, and a housebreaker will ha ve to tamper(拨弄) with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant.
