教师公开招聘考试小学英语-阅读理解

教师公开招聘考试小学英语-阅读理解(总分：84.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、{{B}}阅读理解{{/B}}(总题数：4，分数：84.00)I was nine when my father first sent me flowers. I had been taking tap dancing lessons for six months, and the school was giving its yearly recital. As an excited member of the beginners' chorus line, I was aware of my lowly status.So it was a surprise to have my name called out at the end of the show along with the lead dancers and to find my arms full of long-stemmed red roses. I can still feel myself standing on that stage, blushing furiously and gazing over the footlights to see my father's grin as he applauded loudly.Those roses were the first in a series of large bouquets that accompanied all the milestones in my life. They brought a sense of embarrassment. I enjoyed them, but was flustered by the extravagance.Not my father. He did everything in a big way. If you sent him to the bakery for a cake, he came back with three. Once, when mother told him I needed a new party dress, he brought home a dozen.His behavior often left us without funds for other more important things. After the dress incident, there was no money for the winter coat I really needed—or the new ice skates I wanted.Sometimes I would be angry with him, but not for long. Inevitably he would buy me something to make up with me. The gift was so apparently an offering of love he could not verbalize that I would throw my arms around him and kiss him—an act that undoubtedly perpetuated his behavior.Then came my 16th birthday. It was not a happy occasion. I was fat and had no boyfriend. And my well-meaning parents furthered my misery by giving me a party. As I entered the dining room, there on the table next to my cake was a huge bouquet of flowers, bigger than any before.I wanted to hide. Now everyone would think my father had sent flowers because I had no boyfriend {{U}}to do it.{{/U}} Sweet 16, and I felt like crying. I probably would have, but my best friend, Phyllis, whispered, "Boy, you're lucky to have a father like that."As the years passed, other occasions—birthdays, recitals, awards, graduations—were marked with Dad's flowers. My emotions continued to seesaw between pleasure and embarrassment.When I graduated from college, though, my days of ambivalence were over.I was embarking on a new career and was engaged to be married. Dad's flowers symbolized his pride, and my triumph. They evoked only great pleasure. Now there were bright-orange mums for Thanksgiving and a huge pink poinsettia at Christmas. White lilies at Easter, and velvety red roses for birthdays. Seasonal flowers in mixed bouquets celebrated the births of my children and the move to our first house.As my fortunes grew, my father's waned, but his gifts of flowers continued until he died of a heart attack a few months before his 70th birthday. Without embarrassment, I covered his coffin with the largest, reddest roses I could find.Often in the dozen years since, I felt an urge to go out and buy a big bouquet to fill the living room, but I never did. I knew it would not be the same.Then one birthday, the doorbell rang. I was feeling blue because I was alone. My husband was playing golf, and my two daughters were away. My 13-year-old son, Matt, had run out earlier with a "see you later", never mentioning my birthday. So I was surprised to see his large frame at the door. "Forgot my key," he said, shrugging. "Forgot your birthday too. Well, I hope you like flowers, Mum." He pulled a bunch of daisies from behind his back."Oh, Matt," I cried, hugging him hard." I love flowers!"（分数：20.00）(1).The underlined phrase "to do it" in Paragraph 8 means ______.∙ A. to give a party∙ B. to send flowers∙ C. to send gifts∙ D. to help her（分数：4.00）A.B. √C.D.解析：[解析] 推理判断题。

特岗教师招聘小学英语（阅读理解题）模拟试卷10(题后含答案及解析)全部题型10. 阅读理解阅读理解In the United States, parents usually encourage their children to develop their potential(潜能). They pay attention to what their kids can do, not what they can’t. As a result, US boys and girls hope to be actors, athletes and doctors; many even want to become presidents when they grow up. US parents often encourage their children to take part in all kinds of activities at school. They believe that joining in these activities can make their children mature(成熟). Schoolwork is important, but they think that social skills are important as well. But things in China are different. Chinese parents often tell their children to study hard and pass exams. They think that, for a student, staying away from schoolbooks means wasting time. This puts a lot of pressure on Chinese students, so leaders in China’s education department have called for less homework at the lower grades. Only healthy kids can become healthy adults.1．American parents think that______.A．schoolwork is as important as social skillsB．schoolwork is more important than social skillsC．schoolwork is less important than social skillsD．passing exams is the most important for their children正确答案：A解析：由第二段最后一句“Schoolwork is important，but they think that social skills are importantas well．”可知，美国父母认为学业和社会技能一样重要。

But, when British Rail offered him an all-expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital, he just could not refuse. He arrived at Paddington Station and smartly turned out in his best suit, favorite Panama hat and a red rose in his buttonhole. “It’s very exciting. There’s no doubt about it,” he said. Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. “But I’ve been on the seas to that faraway land called Ilfracombe 21 miles from home,”he joked. Mr Evans, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century. “There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings return from Swansea —too much I thought. All my money went to the family then,” he said. During the next two days Mr. Evans will be taken on a short tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the House of Parliament organized by his MP, Mr. Gareth Wardell. The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided for him if he gets tired. “I don’t like the chair—people will think I am getting old. “ he said. His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized—no wine, no tobacco and no anger. Before setting off from Swansea with his 76-year-old son, Amwell, he said jokingly, “I’m glad to see they’ve given me a return ticket.1．The very reason that Mr. Evans didn’t go to see the world is that______.A．he had already been on the seas to IlfracombeB．he was too busy to go too far away from homeC．he couldn’t afford both the time and the moneyD．he believed “East or west, home is best”正确答案：C解析：细节理解题。

特岗教师招聘小学英语(阅读理解题)模拟试卷6(题后含答案及解析)

特岗教师招聘小学英语（阅读理解题）模拟试卷6(题后含答案及解析)全部题型10. 阅读理解阅读理解Although the top men in smuggling business must work together, most of a syndicate’s small fry, especially the mules, know only their immediate contacts. If caught there is little they can give away. A mule probably will not even know the name of the person who gives him his instructions, nor how to get in touch with him. Usually he even does not know the person to whom he has to make delivery. He will be told just to sit tight in a certain hotel or bar until someone contacts him. In this way if he is blown, coming through airport customs he cannot unwittingly lead agents to the next link in the chain. All the persons at the receiving end do is to hang around the airport among the waiting crowd, and see that the mule comes through safely. If he does not, he is dimply written off as a loss. To make identification of mules easier, several syndicates have devised their own “club ties” so that a mule wearing one can immediately be picked out. Mules often receive careful training before embarking on their first journey. One Beirut organization, for example , uses a room with three airline seats in it. There the trainee mules sit for hours on end wearing weighted smuggling vests beneath their clothes, so that they become accustomed to standing up after a long flight in a natural way, and without revealing what they are carrying. An outfit in Brussels maintained a comfortable apartment where the mules could relax and get a firm grip on themselves on the night before their first journey; they were helped to dress before setting out for the airport in the morning. More often than not a courier will not know precisely where he is going or what flight number is until he is actually handed his tickets at the airport. This prevents the careless boast in some bar or to a girl friend the night before. Mules occasionally run off with the goods to keep the profit themselves. As insurance against this, a syndicate often sends a high-up on the same plane to keep a wary eye on couriers, particularly new ones. Even then things can go badly wrong. One international currency smuggler who was having trouble getting money out of Britain was offered help by a group of men who said they were in a position to “fix thing”—for a fee of course. Foolishly, the smuggler agreed to accept their help. When he got to London’s Heathrow Airport, he handed over to one of the men a black suitcase containing nearly $90,000 in cash, destined for Frankfurt. Just to keep an eye on things, the smuggler went along on the same plane. When they landed at Frankfurt he was handed back his suitcase. He beat a straight path to the men’s toilet, opened the case,and found only old clothes.1．What is a “mule” ?A．A person who sends smuggling goods for a syndicate is called mule.B．A person in charge of smuggling goods is called mule.C．A person who makes delivery for a syndicate is called mule.D．A person who receives instructions from a smuggler is called mule.正确答案：C解析：mule骡子，是对走私集团交货人的称呼，绰号。

Researchers have studied each of her messages to the Commonwealth countries since 1952 to find out the change in her pronunciation from the noble Upper Received to the Standard Received. Jonathan Harrington, a professor at Germany’s University of Munich, wanted to discover whether accent(口音)changers recorded over the past half century would take place within one person. “ As far as I know, there just is nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records. “he said. He said the noble way of pronouncing vowels(元音)had gradually lost ground as the noble upper-class accent over the past years. “Her accent sounds slightly less noble than it did 50 years ago. But these are very, very small and slow changes that we don’t notice from year to year. ““ We may be able to relate it to changes in the social classes,” he told The Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper. “In 1952 she would have been heard saying ‘thet men in the bleck het’. Now it would be ‘that man in the black hat’. And ‘hame’rather than ‘ home’. In the 1950s she would have been ‘ lorst’, but by the 1970s ‘lost’.”The Queen’s broadcast is a personal message to the Commonwealth countries. Each Christmas, the 10-minute broadcast is put on TV at 3 pm in Britain as many families are recovering from their traditional turkey lunch The results were published(发表)in the Journal of Phonetics.1．The Queen’s broadcasts were chosen for the study mainly because______.A．she has been Queen for many yearsB．she has a less upper-class accent nowC．her speeches are familiar to many peopleD．her speeches have been recorded for 50 years正确答案：D解析：细节理解题。

One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’d sit on the edge of thedock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.Bernie was my fa ther’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work isprobably hurting your life.For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.Well, I’ve rel earned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.46. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______. A. relaxed B. worried C. hungry D. proud47. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?A. They ate it in a polite way.B. They only ate its best part.C. They ate every part of it.D. They shared only one piece.48. In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie ______.A. was just a rich businessmanB. workedhard all the timeC. lived a rich but healthy lifeD. knew how to make money49. The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last pa ragraph refers to ______.A. the best part of the watermelonB. the writer’s busy lifeC. the writer’s decision of making moneyD. the writer’s hope of enjoying life50. It can be learned from the passage that ______.A. one has to work hard to reach his goalB.a friend in need is a friend in deedC. watermelon is the healthiest fruitD. one should keep work-life balanceBWhen the Audet family turns on the lights at Blue Farm, they are using electricity that comes from cows—cow manure (粪肥), to be specific. Cows produce a lot of wastes. One cow cancreate 30 gallons of wastes each day. Now imagine the output of over 1,000 cows at Blue Farm. That’s really a big amount.When farmers clean their barns, they put the wastes in a big heap, and spread some of them on their fields for fertilizer(肥料). But now places like Blue Spruce Farm have a new way of using cow wastes. They use them to produce electricity.Here’s how it works: A big machine moves back and forth cleaning the barn floor. “The cows ar en’t bothered,” says Marie Audet. “They are animals of habit; they get used to it, and just lift one foot and then another to let it go by.”The machine pushes the manure into a big 600-gallon tank like a small swimming pool. The tank is called a digester (化粪池) because what happens there is just like what happens inside a cow: Bacteria(细菌) get to work and continue to digest the manure.Methane gas (甲烷、沼气)in the atmosphere is known as a “greenhouse”gas because it keepsheat just like a greenhouse does, causing our planet to warm up. That’s an environmental concern. But the digester has a good result. Its gas is kept and used to power electric generators (发电机).At Blue Farm, the generators make enough electricity to power 400 homes. The Audet family sells th e extra electricity they can’t use themselves.51. We learn from the text that the Audet family is using cow wastes to ______.A. make electricityB. produce fertilizerC. build their farmD. feed the cows52. How are the cow wastes collected into the digester at Blue Farm?A. Marie Audet does the workB. The job is done by machineC. The cows lift the cow wastesD. Bacteria get to work on them53. According to the passage, which of the following is changed into electricity?A. The power of moving water.B. The heat of burning coal.C. The power of sunlight.D. The heat of the methane gas54. The new way of using cow wastes at Blue Farm might be best descr ibed as ______.A. reducingB. savingC. recyclingD. changing55. What is the main purpose for writing the passage?A. To introduce a new way of making electricityB. To explain how a new energy works betterC. To show a new rebuilding plan for a big farmD. To explain the reasons for green house effectC第二节：请仔细阅读第56—60题中各人的情况说明，从A—F六个套餐菜单中为各位选出符合要求的最佳选项，其中一项为多余选项。

They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue(烤肉)restaurant, then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new idea: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips. Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity(一致性), for the brothers had developed a strict routine(程序)for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks’sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became surprisingly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc. Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milkshake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the special attraction of the brothers’fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise(特许经营)other copies of their restaurants. The agreement included the right to duplicate(复制)the menu, the equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches(拱门). Today McDonald’s is really a household name. In 1976, McDonald’s had over $1 billion in total sales. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most surprising success stories in modern American business history.1．This passage mainly talks about______.A．the development of fast food servicesB．how McDonald’s became a billion-dollar businessC．the business careers of Mac and Dick McDonaldD．Ray Kroc’s business talent正确答案：B解析：主旨题。
