I believe that my country, Poland, is a perfect example for a pl ace where food is particularly important. When we were little c hildren, we began to understand how much a loaf of bread me ant to our parents—to some it might sound silly but for me the custom of kissing b read before you started cutting it was simply amazing. It's not so common nowadays to treat food that way, since you hardly ever bake your own bread. Besides, everyone would call you crazy if you tried to kiss every bread roll before you ate them! But though we no longer make our food from scratch (起点), some customs have been kept--that's why I feel so sorry every time I have to throw any food a way—even though I no longer live with my parents and nobody woul d blame me for this anymore!Many people of our nation are still working as farmers, eating what they grow and harvest and therefore enjoying everything more. It's widely known that you value more anything that ne eds your effort in the first place. In most homes in Poland, especially those of farmers, the whole family would try and have t heir meals together--extremely difficult now, but so rewarding (值得) ! You can share other members' troubles and successes, give your children some attention, or just sit down for a mome nt instead of rushing through life aimlessly. Furthermore, your body, and stomach in particular will be very grateful (感激) for such a time!In Poland, a wedding, Christmas or even a birthday is celebra ted with a great meal. Women in the house get together and c ook, sometimes for a few days before the event, and the extre mely good or unusual food will be remembered and widely tal ked about.You cannot over-value the importance of food in the country. What's more, alm ost everyone in Poland will be as interested in the topic as I a m.1. When the writer was a child, he / she ________.A. found people were crazy about breadB. began to realize the importance of foodC. thought that cutting bread was amazingD. learned people hardly baked their own bread2. The writer feels very sorry when he/she has to throw away any food becauseA. he/she makes food from scratchB. his/her parents would blame him/herC. some customs still have effect on him/herD. many people are still working hard as farmers3. From the text, we can learn that, in Poland, ________.A. most meals can be interesting topics for a long timeB. the whole family often have meals together nowadaysC. it's common for women to get together to cook for a few da ysD. family members can know more. about each other by havin g meals together【参考答案】1—3、B C D黑龙江省大庆市喇中2016高考英语阅读练习——新闻报道类Leon, 12, was born without fingers on his left hand.That didn't -stop him from being able to do many tasks.

Researchers found that among kindergarteners with low levels of general knowledge, 62 percent were struggling in science by the time they reached third grade and 54 percent were struggling in that subject in eighth grade.And general knowledge gaps between minorities and Whites were already large at the time when students began kindergarten.“Children growing up in low-income families typically experience comparatively fewer early opportunities to learn about the natural and social sciences,” the authors wrote.“Their parents often have lower educational levels and therefore less science knowledge themselves as well as fewer resources available to direct the children's academic growth.Children raised in poverty often attend poorly resourced schools that further limit their academic opportunities.”Morgan said that,within families,parents who regularly talk and interact with toddlers(学步的儿童)can point out and explain physical,natural and social events occurring around them daily.This might help youngsters learn facts and concepts that will prepare them to take better advantage of science instruction they receive during elementary and middle school.5. Which may be the possible result of the gaps in science knowledge during kindergarten?A.Children from rich families will behave better in life.B.Children from minorities may have less desire for learning.C.The gaps will disappear automatically when children grow up.D.Children's academic performance afterwards will be affected.6. What did the researchers suggest policymakers do?A.Narrow income gaps between different families.B. Make good education available to children.C.Give extra lessons to children from poor families.D. Strengthen competitive awareness of kindergarteners.7. What can parents do to help their toddlers learn?A. Offer them more learning resources.B. Give them more nutritious food.C. Create learning opportunities in daily life.D. Let them attend science courses for kids.8. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Equal Education Is Important in KindergartenB.Income Gaps Affect Children's School PerformancesC.Provide More Available Access to Childhood LearningD.Science Knowledge Gaps Are Obvious in KindergartenCUniversity can be the most sociable time of your life. For most students, social media is the glue that holds packed social diaries together. Facebook will let you know if a game is cancelled,Twitter can promote your DJ set in 140 characters, and your Instagram account will remind you when there are new photos.These tools have made the world increasingly connected, and most students wouldn’t consider shunning them at such a sociable stage of their lives. But social media is by no means a requirement at university, and many do without.“I’m a private person and don’t feel the need to share everything with everybody I know,” says Caty Forster, 20, a student at the University of Manchester, who has never used Facebook or Twitter. Despite social media’s benefits, Forster is largely indifferent. Bethany Elgood, 25, stopped using Facebook after she discovered she had developed a bit of an anxiety towards the social media platforms that contain lots of personal details.”I quit Facebook when I was 13. I left because, not only was I bored of passively involved in its Newsfeed, I was also experiencing anxiety. To me, Facebook meant clicking and nosing around p eople’s lives.People would ask, “How do you keep in touch with people?” and “Won’t you miss out anything important?” I was in agreement with Forster, who says, “I never feel like I’m missing out too much. I don’t feel like I’d have anything valuable to share or gain from it.”Adrienne Jolly, a careers advisor at UEA, says, “It’s hard to prove reliable statistics on social media. But it’s generally accepted that social media networks are pretty influential in this process—for better or worse.”You might dec ide quitting social media isn’t practical in the long run. However, if its ugly side is bringing you down, why not consider taking leave? By doing so, I gained confidence and a strong connection with reality.9. The author listed three kinds of social media to prove they _______.A. are important for him and others like CatyB. have the power to make students learn moreC. are frequently used by many university studentsD. should be used by all of the students in universities10. The underlined word “shunning”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “___________”A. avoidingB. choosingC. usingD. adding11. Why doesn’t Bethany use social media?A. She hates to share everything with others.B. She hopes her personal information is safe.C. She buries herself in the busy studies every day.D. She doesn’t care what has happened to her friends.12. What is the attitude of Adrienne Jolly to using social media online?A. She is completely against them.B. She herself refuses to use them.C. She is completely for them.D. She is objective.DMany runners and gym members feel that music makes exercise more enjoyable. However, they might not know that scientists have found t hat some kinds of music can improve people’s energy by 15%. This was discovered by Costas Karageorghis at Brunel University’s School of Sport and Education in London. Karageorghis has worked with organizations like Nike and with many champion athletes. In the study, 30 people listened to inspiring music by Queen, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Madonna. They did exercise at the same time.When they were doing exercise in time with the music, people showed higher energy levels. Even when they were doing very hard exercise, they were positive about how they felt. When people are doing exercise, their nerves send messages saying that their body is getting tired. However, when they are listening to music at the same time, these messages are blocked. Karageorghis thinks this is because the music causes part of the brain to send different messages to the body that make it feel happy and relaxed.Karageorghis’ work shows that different types of music can have different effects on different people. The effect of some music can also depend on how tiring the exercise is. Karageorghis said that outgoing people prefer faster and louder kinds of music compared to reserved people. This is because, for the music to have an effect, the brains of outgoing people need more stimulation than the brains of reserved people. Reserved people want to feel less worried and so have better results when the music makes them feel relaxed.Karageorghis was asked to provide music for the “Run to the Beat” half marathon in the UK. “I have lots of other exciting projects that I am working on.” said Karageorghis. One of these is to find out if the speed of the music we listen to has an effect on our heart rate while we exercise.13. Why do people feel less tired when they exercise with music?A. Music makes people’s muscles relax.B. The brain blocks the part that sends messages.C. Positive messages instead of ones about feeling tired are sent to the body.D. Their nerves stop sending messages to the body in the process.14. According to Paragraph 3, which statement is TRUE?A. Reserved people do not want to be stimulated.B. Relaxing music worked better with reserved people.C. Outgoing people feel less worried about their lives than reserved people.D. Louder, faster music had a better effect during exhausting exercise.15. The passage is mainly written ______.A. to recommend different types of music for different peopleB. to report on a study about how music can improve energy levelsC. to explore the different effects that different types of music have on peopleD. to describe our brains when we exercise while listening to music第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIt is obvious that doctors recognize obesity as a health 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 helppatients lose weight and think it is their responsibility to do so, they often don’t know what to say.“So while doctors may tell patients they are overweight, the convers ation 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 alsotold by their doctors to lose weight, the survey found. In fact most have tried to lose weight and may have been successful 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 10th in obesity among metropolitan areas in the United States, said the dialogue had to be anongoing one and could not be dropped after just one mention of the problem. “If you’re to be successful 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 this is that there's this common 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 having 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. About 1,000.3. 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 doct ors’ constant coaching, there is little chance of their succeeding in losing weight.D. Most of them have just given up their hope of becoming less heavy.4. According 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?BThe 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. Kakaduis 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 that exists 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 art in 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 Heritage status by the United Nations. It is one of only 17 of the 469 World heritage Areas listed for both natural and cultural 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. Today those gorges are filled with rainforests, washed by waterfalls.Kakadu is one of the world’s special places. It is hard 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 park through 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.

Not to enter the national park without permission.D. Not to go there through the Kakadu Highway.C(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” showing where people store fat.According 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.According 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 naturallystore 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 communication 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. According 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 life for 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 distanceDFor years, there has been a bias(偏见)against science among clinical psychologists. In a two-year analysis to be published in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science, psychologists led by Timothy B. Baker of the University of Wisconsin charge that manyclinical psychologists fail to “provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to thei r 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 typicalclinical psychologist. Although many treatments are effective,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 rememberthese successes, 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 2008 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 companies 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’ helpD. 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. How do clinical psychologists respond when charged thattheir treatments are not supported by science?A. They feel embarrassed.B. They try to defend themselves.C. They are disappointed.D. They doubt their treatments.19. In Mischel’s opinion, psychology will ______.A. destroy its own reputation if no improvement is madeB. develop faster with the support of insurance companiesC. work together with insurance companies to provide better treatmentD. become more reliable if insurance companies won’t demand evidence-based medicine20. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To show the writer’s disapproval of clinical psychologists.B. To inform the readers of the risks of psychological treatments.C. To explain the effectiveness of treatments by clinical psychologists.D. To introduce the latest progress of medical treatment in clinical psychology.参考答案1—5 BAABC 6—10 DBCAB11—15 ADDBB 16—20 DCBAA。

I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention. And esp ecially if it’s given from the heart. When people are talking,there’s no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don’t value our selves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “I’m so sorry” ,when someone is in pain.One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about themselves. Eventually she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand,we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen,they know we care.I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs,until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down,to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry,they find me there with them.This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.1.What does the author value most in the communication with each other?A.Deep understanding.B.Saying “I’m sorry”.C.Attention from heart.D.Doing nothing.2.The woman patient stopped telling her story to most people because________.A.she didn’t get enough respect from othersB.she was discouraged by being often interruptedC.people often told her their own opinionsD.people couldn’t understand her sad situation3.If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying,you may________.A.hurt his feelingsB.make him embarrassedC.encourage him to continue to cryD.stop him from letting out his sorrow4.It can be inferred from the passage that while communicating,________.A.listening is a perfect way to respond to othersB.people keep silent because they don’t know the answerC.keeping silent means being too shy to speakD.it is easy to form the habit of listening silently[解题导语] 全身心地聆听别人倾诉是帮助别人排解忧伤的最好方式。

2017高考英语一轮阅读理解技能训练题阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Plants can’t communicate by moving or making sounds, as m ost animals do. Instead, plants produce volatile compounds, c hemicals that easily change from a liquid to a gas. A flower’s sweet smell, for example, comes from volatile compounds tha t the plant produces to attract insects such as bugs and bees. Plants can also detect volatile compounds produced by other plants. A tree under attack by hungry insects, for instance, ma y give off volatile compounds that let other trees know about t he attack. In response, the other trees may send off chemical s to keep the bugs away—or even chemicals that attract the bugs’ natural enemies. Now scientists have created a quick way to understand what plants are saying: a chemical sensor(传感器) called an electronic nose. The“e-nose” can tell compounds that crop plants make when they’re attacked. Scientists say the e-nose could help quickly detect whether plants are being eaten by insects. But today the only way to detect such insects is tovisually inspect individual plants. This is a challenging task fo r managers of greenhouses, enclosed gardens that can hous e thousands of plants.The research team worked with an e-nose that recognizes volatile compounds. Inside the device, 1 3 sensors chemically react with volatile compounds. Based on these interactions, the e-nose gives off electronic signals that the scientists analyze usi ng computer software.To test the nose, the team presented it with healthy leaves fro m cucumber, pepper and tomato plants, all common greenho use crops. Then the scientists collected samples of air around damaged leaves from each type of crop. These plants had be en damaged by insects, or by scientists who made holes in th e leaves with a hole punch(打孔器).The e-nose, it turns out, could identify healthy cucumber, peper and tomato plants based on the volatile compounds they produce. It could also identify tomato leaves that had been damaged. But even more impressive, the device could tell which type of damage—by insects or with a hole punch—had been done to the tomato leaves.With some fine-tuning, a device like the e-nose could one day be used in greenhouses to quickly spot h armful bugs, the researchers say. A device like this could also be used to identify fruits that are perfectly ripe and ready to pi ck and eat, says Natalia Dudareva, a biochemist at Purdue U niversity in West Lafayette, Ind. who studies smells of flowers and plants. Hopefully, scientists believe, the device could bring large benefits to greenhouse managers in the near future.1. We learn from the text that plants communicate with each o ther by .A. making some soundsB. waving their leavesC. producing some chemicalsD. sending out electronic signals2. What did the scientists do to find out if the e-nose worked?A. They presented it with all common crops.B. They fixed 13 sensors inside the device.C. They collected different damaged leaves.D. They made tests on damaged and healthy leaves.3. According to the writer, the most amazing thing about the e -nose is that it can .A. pick out ripe fruitsB. spot the insects quicklyC. distinguish different damages to the leavesD. recognize unhealthy tomato leaves4. We can infer from the last paragraph that the e-nose .A. is unable to tell the smell of flowersB. is not yet used in greenhousesC. is designed by scientists at PurdueD. is helpful in killing har mful insects【参考答案】1—4、CDCB阅读理解。

Stephen William Hawking was born on January 8,1942(300 years after the death of Galileo)in Oxford,England.His parents' house was in North London,but during the Second World War Oxford was considered a safer place to have babies.When he was eight,his family moved to St Albans,a town about 20 miles north of London.At eleven Stephen went to St All.School,and then on to University College,Oxford,his father's old college.Stephen wanted to do mathematics,although his father would have preferred medicine.Mathematics was not available at University College,so he did physics instead.Stephen then went on to Cambridge to do research in cosmology(宇宙论).After gaining his PHD,he became first a research fellow,and later on a professional fellow at Gonville & Caius College.After leaving the Institute of Astronomy in 1973 Stephen came to the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics,and since 1979 has held the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics.The chair was founded in 1663 with money left in the will of the Reverend Henryucas,who had been the Member of Parliament for the University.It was first held by Isaac Barrow,and then in 1669 by Isaac Newton.His many publications include The Large Scale Structure of Spacetime with G.F.R.Ellis,General Relativity:An Einstein Centenary Survey with W.Israel,and 300 Years of Gravity with W.Israel.Stephen Hawking had two popular books published:his best seller A Brief History of Time,and his later book,Black Holes and Baby Universes and other essays.“My goal is simple.It is a complete understanding of the universe,why it is as it is and why it exists at all,”Hawking said.1.Hawking's father would like Hawking to learn________.A.mathematics B.physicsC.medicine D.cosmology答案:C 根据第一段倒数第二句“Step hen wanted to do mathematics,although his father would have preferred medicine.”可知,父亲想让霍金学习医学。

The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare's time is estimated (估计) to have been about five million.Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language,mainly in the United States,Canada,Great Britain,Ireland,South Africa,Australia and New Zealand.In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas,there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact,it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages.The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present importance as a world language.Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers,English is a language in which some of important works in science,technology,and other fields are being produced,and not always by native speakers.It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications,international conferences,and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations.It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries,especially former British colonies.Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government,commerce,industry,law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.1.What would be the best title for this passage?A.The Difficulties of Learning EnglishB.International CommunicationsC.The Standard Varieties of EnglishD.English as a World Language答案:D主旨大意题。

In the UK,most children have their midday meal at school,but in many schools,parents can choose what their children eat.The children can have a school lunch—a hot,cooked meal;or they can take a packed lunch with them,which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.Often parents prepare lunches on_the_basis_of what their children want.Cathy,a mother of three children,told us,“My children have packed lunches,because they say they hate school dinners.I make 3 packed lunches every morning,so we're like a sandwich bar in our kitchen in the morning.”However,another mother,Susan,made her choice based on the nutritious(有营养的)value of the food.She said,“My daughter always has school dinners.I t hink she probably gets healthier food by having a cooked lunch at school than she would if I made sandwiches.”But how healthy are school dinners?Kaz,a father,wasn't impressed with them.“Fizzy(有泡沫的)drinks were offered and I think there were a lot of chips.”The question of how healthy school food is was brought to Jamie Oliver,who launched a campaign to improve children's nutrition,after spending a year working in a school kitchen.The TV series about the campaign won an award this week.He was worried about the junk food he saw being served,which included burgers,pizza and chips.He decided to ban the junk,and started cooking good stews (炖菜)and curries for the children instead.Jamie improved the school dinners in that particular school,and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food.Then he put pressure on the government to improve the standards of school food across the country.And it looks as if the changes have begun.1.What would be the best title for the passage?A.School Dinners B.Healthy FoodC.Dinners in the UK D.Research on Dinners答案:A 标题概括题。

Tang poetry is so excellent and of such a large sum that it is a precious cultural heritage of Chinese civilization in ancient time.It appeals so many people all over the world that more and more Tang poems have been translated into other languages,mostly into English.Nevertheless,since the translatability of poetry has been the most controversial(引起争论的)issue in the translation circle,whether a Tang poem is translatable or not is now still in debate.An American poet Robert Frost ever said,“Poetry is what gets lost in translation.〞In this sense,something in Tang poetry will get lost after being translated into English.Here comes the untranslatability(不可翻译)of Tang poems in English translation.Tang poetry is the harmonious unity of beautiful sound,wellbalanced form and implicit sense so that it is very difficult to translate them into other languages satisfactorily.English is intonation(语调)language while Chinese is tone language so that they are dissimilar in sound;English spelling words are alphabetic writing while Chinese square characters are ideographic(表意文字)so that they are dissimilar in form;English was born and develops in western cultural background while Chinese in oriental so that they are dissimilar in sense.Based on the differences above,a conclusion is made naturally in the article that in the process of translating Tang poems into English,there is some untranslatability,namely,sound untranslatability,form untranslatability and sense untranslatability.In fact,the study on the untranslatability of Tang poetry still has a great room for development,as it remains an unsolved problem.In this case,however,talking about the untranslatability of Tang poems in English translation is not against the translation work of Tang poems but for the better translations of them.1.By the passage we can know that________.A.Tang poetry is a kind of new culture existing in ChinaB. Tang poetry is part of precious cultural heritage of Chinese civilizationC.Tang poetry can't be translated into EnglishD.Tang poetry can only be accepted by people from China答案:B 根据文章第一段第一句话...it is a precious cultural heritage of Chinese civilization in ancient time可知,唐诗是中国古代文明的珍贵的文化遗产,是中华文化的组成局部。

And especially if it’s given from the heart. When people are talking,there’s no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don’t value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “I’m so sorry”,when someone is in pain.One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about themselves. Eventually she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand,we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen,they know we care.I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs,until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down,to take them out of their experience of sadness.

These are some ideas that some people came up with about what the life will be like in the year 2500:We will have established a base on the moon.School kids can take field trips to the moon weekly.We will have found cures(疗法)for AIDS and cancer.The war will have ended and peace flows freely through the land.Kids will learn more and be smarter than ever before! History will be the main subject at school.Cafeteria(自助餐厅)food will be delicious! You just walk up to a machine,stick out your tongue,and it will scan your taste buds(味蕾)to see what you want to eat.—KristenHere I am in the wonderful year of 2500 and life is so easy.I work in a pet store and it is so hard!

At work,I have to push 5 buttons and then I go home.It takes 2 seconds and that is like forever.—MorganIn the year 2500,I think we will have invented cars that run on things we don't need like garbage.Tail gas will smell like whatever you like such as chocolate.I also predict that buildings will be able to go into a different dimension(维)so your car won't hit them.The cars in 2500 don't fly,for we haven't got that technology yet,but they can hover(盘旋)up to seven feet.These cars are made for speed!——CarlyInstead of cars,we may have hovering devices that float around.We could also have electric cars instead of gas powered cars.Food might be more healthy.What I believe is that the environment will change the most. The environmental changes will also determine many other changes.If more people try to help the environment,then perhaps in 2500 we will have more forests and wildlife.If people won't help the environment,then we will have no forests and little wildlife left—Roberta1.According to Kristen,what will happen in 2500?A.English will be the main subject at school.B.Students can go to the moon every week.C.Cafeteria will replace other restaurants.D.AIDS and cancer will disappear.答案:B 细节理解题。

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
In the UK,most children have their midday meal at school,but in many schools,parents can choose what their children eat.The children can have a school lunch—a hot,cooked meal;or they can take a packed lunch with them,which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.Often parents prepare lunches on_the_basis_of what their children want.Cathy,a mother of three children,told us,“My children have packed lunches,because they say they hate school dinners.I make 3 packed lunches every morning,so we're like a sandwich bar in our kitchen in the morning.”However,another mother,Susan,made her choice based on the nutritious(有营养的)value of the food.She said,“My daughter always has school dinners.I t hink she probably gets healthier food by having a cooked lunch at school than she would if I made sandwiches.”But how healthy are school dinners?Kaz,a father,wasn't impressed with them.“Fizzy(有泡沫的)drinks were offered and I think there were a lot of chips.”The question of how healthy school food is was brought to Jamie Oliver,who launched a campaign to improve children's nutrition,after spending a year working in a school kitchen.The TV series about the campaign won an award this week.He was worried about the junk food he saw being served,which included burgers,pizza and chips.He decided to ban the junk,and started cooking good stews (炖菜)and curries for the children instead.Jamie improved the school dinners in that particular school,and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food.Then he put pressure on the government to improve the standards of school food across the country.And it looks as if the changes have begun.1.What would be the best title for the passage?A.School Dinners B.Healthy FoodC.Dinners in the UK D.Research on Dinners答案:A 标题概括题。

根据倒数第二段最后一句可知,Jamie禁止了垃圾食品,用炖菜和咖喱类饭菜作为孩子的午餐,由此可推知炖菜和咖喱类饭菜是健康食品,故选A项。
4.What can we learn from the passage?A.None of the parents in Britain like school food.B.Fizzy drinks and chips are good for children's health.C.Most schools in the UK offer healthy lunch to students.D.Susan chooses food for her daughter according to its nutrition.答案:D 细节理解题。

【2012辽宁省模拟】A阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning how to stand on your own two feet. But take a look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly(大胆地) on their own, most of them are clutching at (紧握) one another's hands for reassurance.They claim that they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in musil. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus and such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon — into a lager cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry had firmly carved out a teenager market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teen ager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come toward high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teen ager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listento classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come — with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts. 56.Through this passage the writer wants to advise .A.teenager how to be popular with people aroundB.teenagers how to decide things for themselvesC.parents how to control and guide their childrenD.people how to understand and respect each other57.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Every kind of popularity doesn’t count.B.What many parents are doing is in fact preventing their children from getting high marks.C.It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.D.Many teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to do.58.The author thinks of advertisements as __________________.A.debatable B.instructive C.unavoidable D.authoritative59.During the teenage years, one should learn to ________________.A.differ from others in as many ways as possibleB.become as popular as possibleC.find one's real self and not to follow others’ fashion blindlyD.rebel against parents and the popularity waves【参考答案】56—59、BBDC【四川省2014“联测促改”活动模拟试题】D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,并在答落卡上将该项涂黑。
