It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商) follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men's clothes tend to button from the right, and women's from the left. Considering most of the world's population----men and women----are right-handed, the men's standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women's clothes button from the left? History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women's shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men's shirts button from the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt. Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all women's shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women's shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men's shirts.( ) 1. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.B. It is different for men's clothing and women's.C. It woks better with men than with women.D. It fails to consider right-handed people.( ) 2. What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century?A. They tended to wear clothes without buttons.B. They were interested in the historical matters.C. They were mostly dressed by servants.D. They drew their swords from the left.( ) 3. Women's clothes still button from the left today because.A. adopting men's style is improper for womenB. manufacturers should follow standardsC. modern women dress themselvesD. customs are hard to change( ) 4. The passage is mainly developed by.A. analyzing causesB. making comparisonsC. examining differencesD. following the time order【语篇解读语篇解读】本文由男女衣服的不同,分析产生这种不同的原因,并且告诉我们这种不同为语篇解读什么延续到现在.1. 答案 B 【解析】细节理解题.

高三英语新一轮复习(基础训练提高强化)阅读理解
位敦市安定阳光实验学校阅读理解基础训练Passage 1（中学高三检测）German inventors Falk Wolsky and Daniel Kaesma have created a digital pen, which can check for spelling mistakes in handwriting. The idea came from Wolsky's wife while she was helping her son with his homework. It will help children and adults develop their writing and spelling skills.The Lernstift, which is German for learning pen, has a built-in sensor. It can recognize writing movements and track the shape of the letters to recognize words. It then vibrates (震动) when a mistake is made. Lernstift also has Wi-Fi built-in, and the pen can be connected to a smart-phone or PC to upload written texts online, share them on social networks or take part in writing training.Current digital pens use optical (光学) sensors to pick up the writing movements and digitize (数字化) the words or sketches, so that they can be used on a computer. Some of these pens require additional devices, while others only work with special paper. Lernstift is different, because it has the technology and software built-in.The computer inside Lernstift is an embedded Linux operating system. The board contains a non-optical motion sensor, processor, memory, Wi-Fi and vibration module. The motion sensor recognizes all writing movements, even if the pen is used to write in the air. This means Lernstift doesn't need any additional recognition devices or special paper to work on.The pen has two functions: Orthography Mode is used to recognize misspellings and will vibrate when a word is spelt incorrectly. Calligraphy Mode is used to point out flaws in the form of handwriting, to make it neater. Future models will also be able to point out grammatical mistakes such as wrong word order.Lernstift uses a built-in handwriting software to compare the written words with the correct spellings. The software has over 40 languages, and Lernstift will be launched in English and German before being rolled out to more languages. This means it could be used to help people learn new languages.1.Who came up with the idea of Lernstift pen?A. Wolsky’s wifeB. Wolsky’s son.C. Kaesma’s wife.D. Kaesma’s son.2.What’s special about the Lernstift pen?A. It can make you write more quickly without making a mistake.B. It can write words for a long time without stopping.C. It can check for spelling errors and vibrate when you make a mistake.D. It can remind you to have a rest when you make a spelling mistake.3. It’s believed that future models of Lernstift pen can ____________.A. recognize misspellings in wordsB. point out flaws in the form of handwritingC. correct spelling mistakes of itselfD. check for grammatical errors4. What can we get to know from the text?A. There will be no spelling mistakes in people’s writing paper.B. Children can finish homework as soon as possible with the Lernstift pen.C. With the help of the Lernstift pen, people come to learn 40 languages.D. The Lernstift pen will help people develop their writing and spelling skills.【文章大意】Wolsky研制了一种型的可识别书写错误的钢笔Lernstift，以震动的形式来提醒使用者。

一轮复习高考英语阅读理解训练经典题目(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Babies born in summer are more likely to become short-sighted in late life, a study has shown. As many as a quarter of all cases of short-sightedness are caused by too great an exposure to sunlight in the first weeks of life, say eye experts.They are advising all parents to put sunglasses on their babies during the first weeks. Scientists had already established that over-exposure to sunlight caused shortsightedness in animals.Researchers who compared the months in which babies were born with whether they needed glasses later on say the principle also applies to humans.A study of almost 300, 000 young adults-the largest of its kind-showed that those born in June and July had a 25 per cent greater chance of becoming severely short-sighted than those born in December or January.Research leader Professor Michael Belkin, of Tel Aviv University, said it was because prolonged illumination(光照) causes the eyeball to lengthen-causing short-sightedness.Hence the more light a newborn is exposed to, the more the eyeball lengthens and the worse the short-sightedness will be.The mechanism which lengthens the eyeball is associated with levels of melatonin(褪黑激素), a pigment (色素) which protects the skin against harmful rays of the sun.In young babies not enough melatonin is released as protection, meaning they are more vulnerable to sunburn and changes to eyeball shape.Sight expert Professor Daniel O'Leary, of Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, said "At the moment we don't know the precise cause of why light exposure affects sight, but the evidence seems to prove that it is one of the reasons for people becoming shortsighted."（1）Babies born in summer are more likely to be shortsighted ____________.A. because the summer sun is too strong for babiesB. because babies born in summer have lengthened eyeballsC. if they are exposed too much sunlight in the first weeks after they are born D if parents don't know a proper way to protect their babies' eyes（2）Melatonin is a kind of material to ___________.A. prevent the eyes from becoming near-sightedB. protect the skin from harmful sun raysC. make our body strongD. protect babies' eyes from summer sun（3）From what Professor Daniel O'Leary says we can conclude that ___________.A. there is no evidence that shortsightedness is related to exposure to sunlightB. whether light exposure affects sight still needs to be further provedC. he believes that light exposure can cause shortsightednessD. he tries to give the cause of why light exposure affects sight（4）The underlined word "vulnerable" in the passage probably means __________.A. easy to be harmedB. resistantC. protectiveD. changeable【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）C（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，研究表明在夏季出生的婴儿长大后更容易成为近视眼，眼科专家称多达四分之一的近视眼病例是由于在出生后前几周里暴露阳光太久造成。

(2013·河南省郑州市高中毕业班第一次质量预测)Chinese writer Mo Ya n’s Nobel Prize for Literature might ignite an explosion of global interest in Chinese literature and lead to more titles translated into English，European experts say. “Hopefully，the award means more people will read Chinese literature and more works will get translated，” says Michel Hockx，professor of the Languages and Cultures of China and Inner Asia from University of London.“Many very good Chinese writers have been accepted globally for a long time Yan is probably the most translated Chinese writer alive，with at least five of his novels made av ailable in English over the past 20 years.”Jonathan Ruppin，web editor of bookseller Foyles，says Mo’s win coincides with growing interest in Chinese literature and recognizes the talents of a distinctive and visionary (富于空想的) writer.“We are very excited by the fact that English translations of more of his books should now become available，” Ruppin made the comment after Mo became the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in its centurylong history.As EastWest cultural exchange has been booming，Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention in recent explains，“It’s mainly because there are many more opportunities for Chinese writers to visit other countries，to publish their works outside China and to interact with readers the same time，more and more people globally are learning Chinese and taking an interest in the Chinese language and culture.”University of Oxford lecturer in modern Chinese literature Margaret Hillenbrand says，“The obvious reason for the growing global presence of Chinese literature is the growing global presence of China have come to realize that there is a serious knowledge deficit (缺少) between China and its international counterparts—in particular，China knows incomparably more about Europe and America than the other way round—and reading Chinese literature is an effective，simple means of solving that gap.”1．The underlined word “ignite” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．A．start out B．burn upC．set off D．appeal to2．Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention mainly because________.

（主旨大意）(说明文)There is nothing in the US quite like Black Friday. Before mid night on Thursday, in malls across the US, people start queui ng up outside the locked entrances of stores, making longer a nd longer lines, holding coupons (优惠券), sipping coffee and hot chocolate, rubbing their hands and stamping (跺脚) their feet for warmth, excitedly chatting, and waiting for the clerks to open the door when the time arrives.Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, which fell on Nov 28，2014, “has become in recent decades a special American holi day”, said the International Business Times. Indeed, up to 147 million Black Friday shoppers were expected to put up with th e dark of night and the elbows(手肘)of other shoppers so that they could bring home some bar gains, according to the US National Retail Federation.But why does the shopping festival have such a name?The name was first used in Philadelphia in the 1970s. The streets and sidewalks of the city became so packed with traffi c and crowds on the day after Thanksgiving Day that the local police did not look forward to it. Because of this, they called t he day “Black Friday”, said The Huffington Post. However, oth ers believe that Black Friday takes its name from the fact that because of the increase in sales on the day, shops are able fo r the first time in the year to move out of the “red”– that is, debt – and into the “black”, or profit. Businesses, of course, try to take advantage of this day. A decade ago, retailers (零售商) opened at 5 or 6 am. Now, many of the big stores open at midnight.People really seem to like the whole experience of queuing up before midnight, “for it isn’t just about the bargains”, noted CNN. “For many shoppers, it’s just fun to be part of a large cr owd. Those who go to the malls at midnight are driven by the same thing that makes a million people get together in Times Square each New Year’s Eve.”1. Which of the following statements about Black Friday is TR UE?（细节）A. It is a special day in the US on which government hands out coupons to customers.B. It is a shopping festival in the US that falls on the second Friday after Thanksgiving.C. It has been a traditional American holiday since the foun ding of the nation.D. It is an opportunity for Americans to get things they want at a much lower price.2. According to The Huffington Post, the name of “Black Frida y” may be first used ______.（细节）A. at the beginning of the 20th century in the USB. by American people who expected to bring home bargain s after Thanksgiving DayC. by the police to show their displeasure toward heavy traff ic caused by shopping crowdsD. to describe the bad weather on the day3. According to the article, people who queue up for Black Fri day ______.（细节）A. usually help each other to find good bargainsB. have great fun as part of the waiting crowdC. have a lot of complaints about the service of the retail cle rksD. have to wait until 5 to 6 am to start shopping4. What is the article mainly about?（主旨）A. The shopping habits of Americans.B. An introduction to the origin and influences of Black Friday.C. Tips on how to get good bargains on Black Friday.D. People’s mixed feelings toward Black Friday.参考答案1—4、DCBB阅读理解(一)Guide to Stockholm University LibraryOur library offers different types of studying places and provid es a good studying environment.ZonesThe library is divided into different zones.The upper floor is a quiet zone with over a thousand places for silent reading，and places where you can sit and work with your own comput er.The reading places consist mostly of tables and chairs.The ground floor is the zone where you can talk.Here you can find sofas and armchairs for group work.ComputersYou can use your own computer to connect to the Wi－Fi specially prepared for notebook computers；you can also use library computers，which contain the most commonly used applications，such as Microsoft Office.They are situated in the area known as the Experimental Field on the ground floor.Group－study PlacesIf you want to discuss freely without disturbing others，you can book a study room or sit at a table on the ground floo r.Some study rooms are for 2－3 people and others can hold up to 6－8 people.All rooms are marked on the library maps.There are 40 group－study rooms that must be booked via the website.To book，you need an active University account and a valid University c ard.You can use a room three hours per day，nine hours at most per week.Storage of Study MaterialThe library has lockers for students to store course literature.

一轮复习最新高考英语阅读理解专题练习(及答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解As the President of Ariel Investments, I am often asked how to cultivate (培养) green hands to be qualified for a new job within a short time. My memories take me straight back to the days when I worked for John W. Rogers.While in college, I worked as an intern (实习生) at Ariel Investments. As the youngest girl of six kids from a single mom, I had very little knowledge of the business world. When I graduated, I decided to return to the company to improve myself.At the age of 22, my perspective was greatly influenced by lunching with the company's founder and then-president, John W. Rogers. He told me that I would often find myself in the company of rich and successful people with big titles, lots of degrees and lots of experience. And yet, my ideas could still be as good or even better, he said. This early advice became the guiding force that has helped me throughout my entire career. When I was starting out, I thought my inexperience was holding me back, but John said that it was a good thing. He told me that being inexperienced means that you have a fresh point of view.As my tutor, John encouraged me to be brave. As my boss, he took some giant leaps of faith to support me. Because of our first lunch and the years of support that followed, I never thought twice about speaking up, raising my hand or taking a seat at the table. Staying in the background was never a choice. But John's advice came with one important warning. I needed to keep my attitude in check. It's one thing to be firm but quite another to be rude. Similarly, there is a fine line between confidence and overconfidence. With that in mind, I have had to learn to balance the way I act around others. As someone once told me, "the goal is to be non-threatened and non-threatening at the same time."（1）What can we learn about the author from the text?A.She went to Ariel Investments after graduation for practice.B.She made her voice heard with encouragement from her boss.C.Her miserable childhood had a negative effect on her work.D.Her performance during internship was highly praised in public.（2）Due to John W.

高考英语一轮复习阅读理解专项试题及答案
XX年高考英语一轮复习阅读理解专项试题及答案It is obvious that doctors recognize obesity as ahealth problem. So why is it so hard for them to talk to their patients about it?The results of two surveys, one of primary care physicians and the other of patients, found that while most doctors want to help patients lose weight and think it is their responsibility to do so, they often don’t know whatto say.“So while doctors may tell patients they are overweight, the conversation often ends there,” said Christine C. Ferguson, director of the Stop Obesity Alliance. “Patients are not told about the possibility of diabetes (a kind of disease),” she said. “And doctors don’t feel they have good information to give. They felt that they didn’t have adequate tools to address this problem.The lack of dialogue hurts patients, too. The patient survey, of over 1,000 adults, found that most overweight patients don’t even know that they’re too heavy. Only 39 percent of overweight people surveyed had ever been told by a health care provider that they were overweight.Of those who were told they were obese, 90 percent were also told by their doctors to lose weight, the survey found. In fact most have tried to lose weight and may have beensuessful in the past—and many are still trying, the survey found. And many understand that losing even a small amount of weight can have a positive impact on their health and reduce their risk of obesityrelated diseases like hypertension and diabetes.Dr. William Bestermann Jr., medical director of Holston Medical Group, in Kingsport, Tenn. , which ranks the 10thin obesity among metropolitan areas in the United States, said the dialogue had to be an ongoing one and could not be dropped after just one mention of the problem. “If you’re to be suessful with helping your patients lose weight, you have to talk to them at actually every visit about their progress, and find something to encourage them and coach them,” he said.He acknowledged that many doctors tend to be not optimistic.“Part of thi s is that there's this mon belief, and doctors are burdened by it, too, that overweight people are weak-willed and just don’t have any willpower and are selfindulgent and all that business,” he said. “If you think that way, you’re not going to spend time h aving a productive conversation.”1. What is the Stop Obesity Alliance most probably in Paragraph 3?A. An organization of doctors specializing in obesity.B. An organization of patients suffering from obesity.C. A research group that conducts special surveys about overweight people.D. A research group dealing with doctor-patient relationship.2. How many of the patients surveyed have been advised by their doctors to lose weight?A. About 350.B. About 390.C. About 900.D. About1,000.3. What can be inferred about obesity patients in Paragraph 5?A. They are not as hopeless as doctors think they are.B. Most of them have tried hard to lose weight, but in vain.C. Without their doctors’ constant coaching, there is little chance of their sueeding in losing weight.D. Most of them have just given up their hope of being less heavy.4. Aording to the passage, which factor contributes to the lack of dialogue between doctors and patients?A. Most doctors just never think of warning their patients about their weight problem.B. Many doctors find it difficult to persuade overweight people to lose weight.C. Most patients are too weak-willed to do anything about their weight.D. Many patients tend not to trust their doctors about their weight problem.5. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Obesity in the U. S.B. Trouble of overweight Americans.C. Talk more, help better.D. Doctors or patients-who to bear more blame?The cultural and natural values of Kakadu National Park were recognized internationally when the Park was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This is an international register of properties that are recognized as having outstanding cultural or natural values of international significance. Kakadu is the largest national park in Australia and is the second largest national park in the world. Kakadu is a biological wonderland, which is almost 8,000 square miles. The wildlife in Kakadu National Park includes over 280 kinds of birds, 60 kinds of native mammals, 55 kinds of freshwater fish, thousands of insects, and many reptiles, the most famous of which is the salt-water crocodile. All life in the park depends on water.Kakadu is not only home to the wildlife but the area is also famous for the longest continuous human culture thatexists in the world. Aborigines have been living in this area for at least 40,000 years. The descendants(后裔) of these First Australians still live in Kakadu today. Kakadu contains one of the longest continuous records of rock artin the world, with around 5,000 paintings, with rock sites dating back 25,000 years. More than 1,000 sites have been recorded. Kakadu has been given double World Heritagestatus by the United Nations. It is one of only 17 of the 469 World heritage Areas listed for both natural andcultural values.It is Australia’s largest national park, but it isn’t just the size that surprises visitors—it is the sense of something very old and grand. Creation of the 500 km escarpment (悬崖) began 2,000 million years ago. Todaythose gorges are filled with rainforests, washed by waterfalls.Kakadu is one of the world’s special places. It ishard to pick the ideal time to visit Kakadu. In the wet season large areas of the park are closed to the public. It would not be possible to enter or exit from the parkthrough the Kakadu Highway. Most of the people there agree that the best time to visit is at the end of the dry season. Some areas of Kakadu have restricted visiting times, and some are not open to the general public. Over 230 000 tourists visit Kakadu National Park every year. As youenter Kakadu National Park, you will be required to buy a permit. Part of this money is paid to the Traditional Owners of the land and the rest is given to the repairs of the park.6. Why does the author mention so much wildlife in Paragraph 1?A. To represent the scene of the nature.B. To attract readers’ attention.C. To take the wildlife for example.D. To show the value of the park.7. Kakadu is given double World Heritage status by the United Nations because of .A. the descendants of these First Australians still in Kakadu todayB. the particular environment and the unusual rock artC. the longest continuous human culture that exists in the worldD. Aborigines living in this area for at least 40,000 years8. The followings are mentioned in the passage except .A. living things in KakaduB. the escarpment and the gorgesC. the history of the parkD. the weather of the area9. The underlined word gorges in Paragraph 3 means .A. narrow valleys between hills or mountainsB. buildings where cases are determinedC. large and open structures for sports eventsD. places where something is located10. What does the author advise visitors to do when they go to Kakadu?A. To get more information about the special place.B. To make a better choice between the wet and dry season.C. Not to enter the national park without permission.D. Not to go there through the Kakadu Highway.(London)—If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showi ng where people store fat.Aording to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.Aording to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s munication systems.The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.11. What is this piece of news mainly about?A. Thin people may be fat inside.B. Internal fat is of no importance.C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.D. Thin people also have troubles.12. Doctors have found .A. the exact dangers of internal fatB. internal fat is the cause of heart disease and diabetesC. being slim is not dangerous at allD. being slim doesn’t mean you are not fat inside13. Aording to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A. Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.B. People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.C. Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.D. People with heart disease all have internal fat.14. From the last paragraph, we can find that .A. whether internal fat can lead to disease has been provedB. exercise plays in important role in people’s lifefor keeping healthyC. thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slimD. it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat15. The underlined part in the last paragraph means .A. a long roadB. an easy wayC. a clear differenceD.a short distanceFor years, there has been a bias(偏见)against science among clinical psychologists. In a two-year analysis to bepublished in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science, psychologists led by Timothy B. Baker of the University of Wisconsin charge that many clinical psychologists fail to “provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to their personal experiences than to science.” As a result, patients have no guarantee that their “treatment will be informed by …science.” Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment. “The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,” he told me, and “there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science.”The “widening” reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying the most effective treatments. Thanks to strict clinical trials, we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new, healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression, panic disorder and other problems, with multiple trials showing that these treatments—the tools of psychology—bring more lasting benefits than drugs.You wouldn’t know this if you sought help from a typical clinical psychologist. Although many treatments areeffective, relatively few psychologists learn or practice them.Why in the world not? For one thing, says Baker,clinical psychologists are “very doubtful about the role of science” and “lack solid science training”. Also, one third of patients get better no matter what treatment (if any) they have, “and psychologists reme mber these suesses, believing, wrongly, that they are the result of the treatment.”When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science, clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works. A xx study of 591 psychologists in private practice found that they rely more on their own and colleagues’ experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient. If they keep on this path as insurance panies demand evidence-based medicine, warns Mischel, psychology will “discredit itself.”16. Many clinical psychologists fail to provide the most effective treatments because .A. they are unfamiliar with their patientsB. they believe in science and evidenceC. they depend on their colleagues’ hel pD. they rely on their personal experiences17. The widening gap between clinical practice and science is due to .A. the cruel judgment by Walter MischelB. the fact that most patients get better after being treatedC. the great progress that has been made in psychological researchD. the fact that patients prefer to take drugs rather than have other treatments18.

一轮复习高考英语专题复习阅读理解(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Demand for the Chinese tech company's devices(设备) is red hot even though the country's overall market for smartphones is getting smaller Huawei's China sales rocketed more than 20% in the final quarter of 2018, and experts say that's partly due to the US government's global campaign against the company.“The latest tension between the US and China raised the patriotism(爱国主义) in Chinese consumers, said Jusy Hong, an analyst at research firm IHS Markit.He pointed out that some Chinese companies encouraged employees to buy Huawei phones late last year. The moves were a gesture of support after the firm's chief financial officer was arrested in Canada in early December at the request of the United States.Huawei's booming sales show how major parts of its business continue to increase even as the United States tries to persuade other countries to shut Huawei products out of 5G wireless networks and pursues(追究) criminal charges against it. The company expects to overtake Samsung as the world's biggest smartphone maker by next year.Huawei sold 30 million phones in China in the last three months of 2018, nearly three times as many as Apple(AAPL), according to data published this week by research firms Canalys and IDC. Apple's sales plunged almost 20%.Huawei's success in China, the world's largest smartphone market, is more than about geopolitics(地缘政治). Chinese consumers love its flagship, high -end- phones because they have great cameras, cutting edge technology and cost less than the latest iPhones, according to analysts. And by offering a selection of cheaper phones, Huawei is able to target a bigger market. It also benefited from the troubles this year at ZTE (ZTCOF), a rival Chinese smartphone and telecommunications equipment maker. ZTE was banned by the US government from buying vital American parts for months last year.（1）Why did Huawei's China sales increase greatly according to the article?A. Because the company's devices are always popular worldwide.B. Because Chinese consumers' patriotism was aroused.C. Because the government encourages people to buy Huawei devices.D. Because the country's overall market for smartphones is getting bigger.（2）What can we conclude from the third paragraph?A. Huawei's chief financial officer was arrested in Canada due to the US's request.B. All Chinese companies showed their support to Huawei with their purchase.C. Jusy Hong thought the United States arrested Huawei's chief financial officer.D. Jusy Hong thought the arrest of Huawei's chief financial officer is unfair.（3）How do you understand the underlined word in the fifth paragraph?A. increased greatly by.B. reduced greatly to.C. dropped greatly by.D. remained steady.（4）Why is Huawei's success in China more than about geopolitics?A. Because Huawei has the largest smartphone market in the world.B. Because Huawei's success is only limited within China mainland.C. Because Huawei has the ability to target a bigger market in the world.D. Because Chinese consumers are quite satisfied with Huawei smartphones.【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）C（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了华为公司在手机市场日益缩小的中国仍然火爆的原因。

县2021高考英语阅读理解一轮根底训练〔二〕阅读理解。
It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries. Then one day. Some visitors from the city arrived. The told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other place. This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a batter future. But the dream didn't last long. The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately. The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left. Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job---eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases. Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now havea much deeper meaning.( ) 1. From paragraph I we learn that the villagers __________.A. worked very hard for centuriesB. dreamed of having a better lifeC. were poor but somewhat contentD. lived a different life from their forefathers( ) 2. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?A. the frogs were easy moneyB. They needs money to buy medicineC. they wanted to please the visitorsD. the frogs made too much noise( ) 3.

What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the countryB. Health is more important than moneyC. The harmony between man and nature is importantD. good old day will never be forgotten1. C.细节理解题.第一段中有 The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy.和 C 项意思一致.2.

C.推理判断题.最后一句 These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning. 现在夜晚的这些声音具有更深入的意义. 该句是一个中介句, 说明人们过度捕杀造成生态失衡, 由此也影响了人类,因此,可以推断人与自然的和谐是重要.阅读以下四篇短文，从每一小题后所给的A,B,C或者D四个选项里面，选出最正确选项。

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校2017高考英语阅读理解一轮基础训练阅读理解训练(2015·陕西)Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades.Other forms of parental_involvement，including volunteering at school and observing a child's class，also fail to help，according to the most recent study on the topic.The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools expect them to act as partners in their children's education.Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time，fed，dressed and ready to learn.Keith Robinson，the author of the study，said，“I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance.One of the things that was consistently negative was parents' help with homework.”Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the tasks.“They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now，or in some cases never learnt it themselves，but they're still offering advice.”Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks.In general，about 20% of parental involvement was positive，about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because “children with good academic success do have involved parents”，admitted Robinson.But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success.“A big surprise was that AsianAmerican parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved.They took a more reasonable approach，conveying to their chil dren how success at school could improve their lives.”文章大意：文章和很多人预期不同的是，父母过度的参与孩子的教育未必有好的效果。

Then I went to wash my hair. I came back at seven thirty and the money was gone.""I see." Dr. Berlin said. "Were you alone in the house?""No. My sister's son Jack is here, too." Then Dr. Berlin and Mrs. Green went to Jack's room."Please, sit down," Jack said. Dr. Berlin sat on the only chair in the room, and the chair was cold. He also saw some books on the ground near his feet."What have you been doing this evening?" Dr. Berlin asked."I came home at six-thirty, and went right to my room.

She did not look very happy. Bill asked her what was wrong. "The problem is ..." she began. But then she stopped. She did not find it easy to tell Bill about it, it seemed. "My husband and I wanted to meet here for lunch at 12, " she said at last, "but he hasn't come.""Well, don't you know where he is? Can't you ring him up? ""No, I can't." said the woman. "And I've had lunch now and I can't pay the bill, because I haven't got any money with me.""Never mind, I'll pay the bill for you. You can pay me back later." Bill said."If you give me your address, I'll send you the money as soon as I get home." With these words, she left the restaurant.A few weeks later, when Bill was having lunch at another restaurant, he suddenly heard a familiar voice," Excuse me.

An animal that is aware（意识）of itself has a high level of intelligence.Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image（反射出的影像）.Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying evry little attention to the reflected image. Only humans, and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins, have shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirror self-reflection test.“We thought that elephants were the next important animal,” said Dinana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society, an author of the study with Joshua M.Plotnik and Fans B.M. de Waal of Emory University. With their large brains, Reiss said, elephants “seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins.”The researchers tested Happy, Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo.They put an 8-foot-square mirror on a wall of the animals’ play area (out of the sight of zoo visitors) and recorded what happened with cameras, including one built in the mirror.The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it, and to examine parts of their bodies.Of the three, Happy then passed the test, in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.Diana Reiss said, "We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence ina better way."45. What can mirror tests tell us about animals?A. Whether they have large brains. B．Whether they have self-awareness.C. Whether they enjoy outdoor exercises.D. Whether they enjoy playing with mirrors.46. Why does the author mention apes and dolphins in the text?A. They are most familiar to readers.B. They are big favorites with zoo visitors.C. They are included in the study by Reiss.D. They are already known to be intelligent.47. What made Happy different from Maxine and Patty?A. She used her nose to search behind the mirror.B. She recognized her own image in the mirror.C. She painted a mark on her own face.D. She found the hidden camera.DStudent Membership--Cambridge Arts CinemaCambridge Arts Cinema is one of the art houses in Britain and home of the internationally celebrated Cambridge Film Festival.

It is probably the strangest sportanyone has ever invented. And at firstsight, it looks like the easiest.Competitors have to do two things. Thefirst is to stand still. The second is toplace their hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.This is where things start getting difficult. Lots of people are doing the same thing. And the winner of the“handathon”contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time. That person gets to own the car.It still seems to be an easy thing to do. At the beginning it is. Anyone can stand still. But when the contest has been going for four or five days, standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world. And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention. After a few days, the hand seems to belong to someone else—someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat, drink or do whatever else is necessary. No one is allowed to lean on the car for support. Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention. They also need to be able to develop special skills.Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter. Entrants in the Longview handathon certainly don’t seem to do much preparation. Most say they will prepare by“getting lots of sleep”. Others say they will“eat healthy food”or“pray for success”. The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.Handathons are competitions, but there is little rivalry(敌对)between competitors. They help each other out and keep each other’s spirits up. People who drop out early return with food, drink and encouragement.【文章大意】双手放在车身任何部位, 静立不动, 你能坚持多久? 本文介绍了一项看似简单, 实则类似于马拉松的运动形式“handathon”。

It’s hard to talk to dad sometimes. His silence about his feelings and thoughts made him mysterious and hard to see through. You could never break his hard shell and get to know him. And he seemed to want to stay that way too.But a year ago when my relationship with my wife and career took a hit, I needed my dad to pull back the curtain so I could see him as real and accessible. I was facing serious problems, and I wanted to know whether he had faced them before and how he had found his way, because I felt like I had lost mine. In desperation, it occurred to me that sending an email might be the key, so I wrote him one, telling him about my regrets and fears, and I asked him to answer, if he felt like it. Two weeks later, it showed up in my inbox: a much-thought, three-page letter. Dad, a 68-year-old retired technologist and grandfather of four, had carefully considered my message, and crafted a response. He mentioned his lost love, the foolish mistake he made in career and the stupid pride he had between him and his parents. He comforted me that “life will still find its right track despite many of its twists and turns.”I closed the email and started to cry, because I wished I had opened up earlier but was grateful it wasn’t too late. I cried because at 33, in the midst of my own struggles, his letter instantly put me at ease. And I cried because in the end, it was so simple: I just had to hit “Send.”We’ve s ince had many email exchanges. This increasing communication opened a door into his world. My problems haven’t been magically solved, but getting to know my dad better has made the tough stuff more manageable and life sweeter. It’s hard to talk to dads sometimes, but I’m gladI found a way to talk to mine.1. The author’s dad can be best described as ________.A. quiet and caringB. optimistic and carelessC. selfish and lonelyD. indifferent and serious2. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by“________”.A. draw the curtainB. become more optimisticC. show his true selfD. clear the misunderstanding3. Which of the following is NOT true?A. My dad’s email was quickly written.B. I was moved when reading the email.C. The email contained much information.D. I wished I could have consulted him earlier.4. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Communication Is the Best PolicyB. Emails From My DadC. A Man of Few WordsD.

高考英语一轮复习专项训练阅读理解含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony (殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide.As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies' Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls' school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys' school.Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff's School. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God.（1）How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff's school?A. Through his father's friend's help.B. Through his own efforts to exams.C. Through his father's request.D. Through Mrs. Gutzlaff's influence.（2）Why did the author's parents put him into an English school？A. An English school was more influential.B. Foreign trade with China was developing fast.C. It met with Chinese public opinion.D. He could become a successful interpreter.（3）What did the author think of his parents' decision to put him into an English school?A. It was skeptical.B. It was mysterious.C. It was thoughtful.D. It was wonderful.【答案】（1）A（2）D（3）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，小时候父亲送作者去英语学校而不是中文学校，并分析了具体原因。

A widow’s wish to hear her late husband’s voice again has pushed London’s Subway system to restore a 40-year-old recording of the subway’s famous “ Mind the gap” announcement.The underground, or the tube, first opened in 1863, tracked down the voice recording by Oswald Lawrence after his widow, Margaret McCollum, told them what it meant to her.McCollum, 65, said she used to frequently visit Embankment tube station or plan her journeys around the stop to listen to Lawrence’s voice, even before his death. She was taken aback in November when she noticed it had been replaced by a different voice.“Lawrence was a drama school graduate when he auditioned (试音) for a tour company. For six years after his death, I’d stay on the platform—just sit and listen to it again,” she added.When Margaret approached the tube, she was told it had a new broadcast sys tem and it couldn’t use the old recording anymore.Nigel Holness, director of London Underground, said its staff has been so moved by McCollum’s story that they dug up the recording and gave the widow a copy of the announcement on a CD for her to keep. “Tu be staff is also working to restore Lawrence’s announcement at thestation,” he added. “It is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year.The tube’s ‘Mind the gap’ messages, voiced by various actors, have accompanied countless London commuter journeys since the 1960s. Traindrivers and staff made the warnings themselves before that.”“I’m very pleased that people are interested in Oswald’s oldrecording,” Margaret said. “He was a great London transport user allhis life .He would be amused, touched, and de lighted to know he’s backwhere he belonged.”1. The best title for the passage is________.A. A Replaced RecordingB. Mind the GapC. A Widow’s WishD. The Tube’s Struggle2. The underlined phrase “ taken aback” means_________.A. disappointedB. annoyedC. excitedD.shocked3. What can we infer from the passage?A. The tube always uses recordings to remind passengers.B. Oswald’s voice is great comfort to Margaret.C. No recording can be equal to Oswald’s voice.D. Oswald was an outstanding actor in London. 参考答案1—3、CDB喇中2016高考英语阅读练习——科普环保类Our body clock, or natural body rhythm, influences our energy and alertness. Paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of the day when we best perform specific tasks.The reality, however, is that most of us organize the time around work demands, school deadlines, commuting or social events. Doing whatever the body feels like doing is a luxury in today’s fast-paced modern society.But that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth trying. Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits. Disrupting our natural body rhythm, on the other hand, has been linked to problems such as depression, obesity, or headache, says Steve Key, a biology professor.When the body clock can synchronize (使…同步) the rhythms of its natural processes, it “gives us an advantage in daily life”, says Key. According to him, when it comes to cognitive (认知的) work, most adults perform best in the late morning. As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday, our memory, alertness and concentration gradually improve. However, he adds, our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter. Most of us are more easily distracted (分心) between noon and 4 pm.Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around 2 pm, making that a good time for a nap. Surprisingly, tiredness may increase our creative powers. For most adults, problems that require open-ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired, according to a study in the journal Thinking & Reasoning.When choosing a time of the day to exercise, paying attention to your body clock can improve results. Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm, says Michael Smolensky, a professor of biomedical engineering.Of course, not everyone’s body clock is the same, making it even harder to synchronize natural rhythms with daily plans.【小题1】If we know our natural body rhythm well, we can ______.A．find out the suitable time to do specific tasksB．organize our time around work demandsC．do whatever our body feels like doingD．be sure to be healthy【小题2】 Which of the following is NOT true?A．Our alertness is influenced by our natural body rhythm.B．Doing whatever your body feels like is very difficult in our modern society.C．Obeying our body clock is good for our health.D．Disrupting our natural body rhythm can lead to obesity.【小题3】Inspiration to solve a difficult problem will most probably come to us______.A．when we get up in the morningB．when we are tired in the eveningC．when we are full of energy in the late morningD．when we are asleep at night【小题4】Which of the following can be the suitable title for the passage?A．What is natural body rhythm?B．Natural body rhythm is good for us.C．natural body rhythm and healthD．The latest research about natural body rhythm.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

一轮复习最新高考英语阅读理解专题练习(及答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解At first, Michael Surrell didn't see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors' home. He and his wife had just parked around the corner from their own house in Allentown, Pennsylvania, when they got a call from one of his daughters, "The house next door is on fire!" He went to investigate. That's when he saw two women and a girl hysterical (歇斯底里的)on their porch."The baby's in there!" one of the women cried. Though the fire department had been called, Surrell, then 64, instinctively ran inside. "The baby" was 8-year-old Tiara Roberts, the woman's granddaughter and a playmate of Surrell's three youngest kids, then 8, 10, and 12. The other two on the porch were Tiara's aunt and cousin.Entering the burning house was like "running into a bucket of black paint," Surrell says. The thick smoke caused him to stumble blindly around, burned his eyes, and made it impossible to breathe. The conditions would have been hazardous for anyone, but for Surrell, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (慢性阻塞性肺疾病), they were life-threatening. He was the last person who should have run into a burning building--- he has lung disease. But that didn't stop him.After a few minutes in the smoke filled house, he retreated outside to catch his breath. "Where is Tiara?" he asked desperately." The second floor." her aunt shouted back.Surrell knew he couldn't hold his breath for long. So he uttered a little prayer, "Well, Lord, this is it. You gotta help me, because I'm not coming out without that little girl." Taking a deep breath, he went in a second time.The darkness was overwhelming. Yet because the house had a similar layout to his, he found the stairs and made it to the second floor. He turned to the right and was met by intense heat. He was already out of breath."Baby girl, where are you?" His throat and lungs burned as if he'd inhaled fire instead of the smoke and soot in the air. Every blink stung his eyes. All he could hear was the crackling and popping of burning wood. ①.Still unable to see, Surrell fell to his knees on the hot wood floor. He crawled toward the sound, feeling around for any sign of the girl. An ominous thought crossed his mind: I'm probably gonna die up here.Finally he touched something. A shoe, then an ankle. He pulled Tiara toward him. ②Her body was limp and she wasn't breathing. He scooped her into his arms and stood. He felt the heat of the flames on his cheeks. Turning, he fought through the smoke and ran blindly into the blackness. The next thing he knew, he was at the front door, then outside. Surrell put Tiara down on the porch.③. A voice told him, "You have to breathe for her." He started CPR -the first time he'd ever done so. The women stood behind him, praying silently. Soon a soot-filled cough came from Tiara's throat. Surrell gave five more breaths. She coughed again. Her eyes flickered. He gave one final breath. She opened her eyes and took a breath on her own.④.Their eyes met. Surrell hugged her tight and said, "Uncle's got you." Soon after, his throat closed off.Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later, having suffered severe burns to his windpipe and the upper portion of his lungs. He spent over a week in the hospital. Tiara was released from the hospital after a few days. The fire exacerbated Surrell's pulmonary condition, and he feels the effects even two years later. As a result, he takes extra medication that helps open his airways. "It's a small price to pay," he says. "I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Wouldn't giveit a second thought."（1）Michael Surrell ran to save "the baby" mainly because______.A.he was on the scene casuallyB.he was driven by instinctC.his daughter was in dangerD.his own house was at risk（2）Why should Surrell be the last person to run into a burning building?A.The fire department had been called.B.He was 64 years old at that time.C.The condition was life-threatening.D.He had chronic pulmonary disease.（3）In the course of rescue, Surrell______.A.had to move out for breath because of smokeB.was prevented by the overwhelming smokeC.made it to the second floor without any troubleD.could clearly hear the sound made by the baby（4）Which blank could the sentence "Then a weak but distinct voice emerged" be best put in?A.①B.②C.③D.④（5）From the last paragraph, we can learn that______. .A.Surrell came back to life a week laterB.Tiara had to stay in hospital for weeksC.Surrell's disease became more seriousD.Tiara needed further extra medication（6）What can be a suitable title for the passage?A.Breathe for HerB.Struggle to surviveC.A small price to payD.A man with lung disease【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）A（4）A（5）C（6）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，一个患有慢性阻塞性肺疾病的人不顾个人安危去邻居家着火的房子里成功救出小女孩，因此造成他肺部疾病加重，但是他对自己所做的从不后悔。

江苏金湖县2017高考英语一轮阅读理解基础训练阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Top lists are lecturing people on everything from “100 places to visit” to “100 books to read”. Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?Now you have a list to end all lists!Take a look at the following two examples from the list of “101 things not to do”： Swim with Dolphins(海豚)?Swimming with dolphins is one of the world's most profitable tourist activities.However, not every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨)．Here's a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they're just opening their mouths.Go to See the Mona Lisa?There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的) smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can't all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you; holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn't just be smiling, she'd be laughing.So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die.1. According to the passage, swimming with dolphins ________.A. is the world's most popular tourist activityB. gives fun to both tourists and dolphinsC. will make tourists busy and tiredD. can cause danger to dolphins2. What does the author think about going to see Mona Lisa?A. It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile.B. It is not as satisfying as expected.C. Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough.D. Queuing for hours is worthwhile.3. The list of “101 things not to do” is made most probably because its author ________.A. thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other listsB. believes other lists are not humorous enoughC. intends to persuade people to read more listsD．wants to provide a list different from other lists4. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To advertise a book.B. To introduce a website.C. To comment on popular lists.D. To recommend tourist activities.【要点综述】该篇短文前面否定“100 lists to do”的种种弊端，最后推出自己的101 Things NOT to DoBefore You Die，很明显是一则常见的广告。
1. D 细节理解题。
从Swim with Dolphins下面材料中的第一段最后一句可知和海豚一起游泳会给海豚带来危险。
2. B 细节理解题。
在Go to See the Mona Lisa的材料中，作者反复论证了go to see the Mona Lisa的诸多弊端，每年大量的游客前往参观，个人不可能有预想的观赏效果。
3. D 推理判断题。
该文采取先抑后扬的写作技巧，其目的是要提出不同的观点。
4. A 写作意图题。
该篇材料最后点出写作目的，即为101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die打广告。
【2015高考复习】阅读理解Promotion at work can be good for the pocket.However，it can also be very riskyfor a person's mental health，according to British researchers from theUniversity of Warwick in Coventry.The new findings go strongly against the common belief that advancement in acareer can result in better health because of an increased sense ofselfconfidence，life control and overall wellbeing(幸福感 )．“Getting a promotion at work isnot as great as many people may think.Our research finds that the mental health of managerstypically deteriorates after a job promotion and goes beyond merely a shortterm change in away，”said Chris Boyce, the researcher of the University of Warwick.He also added that theycould not find any health benefits in individuals who had had job promotions.Instead，thesepeople don't go to hospital to have health checks as often as they should，which may be somethingto worry about rather than celebrate.To find out whether there is a connection between job advancement and physical health，Boyceand his team used data from the British Household Panel Survey.The data contained informationon nearly 1,000 recently promoted individuals in the United Kingdom.And the data containedinformation on many aspects of life，including work and selfreported health.After analyzing all the available information，they discovered that there was no evidence of improved physical health after a job promotion.However，what the researchers did find was evidence of greater mental stress.The experts found that promotion gives people，on average,10 percent more mental stress and up to 20 percent less time to visit their doctors in the event of illness.Matt Smith，a Scottish health expert，said mental stress is caused by working long hours.He said，“When someone is promoted there might be even more pressure to work longer hours and therefore they can't afford the time to care about their health.”【语篇导读】升职会让人精神焕发，信心百倍，还是身体健康受到影响？最新的研究发现升职不但健康受到影响而且精神压力也很大。
