On Friday June 21st，2013，the folks at the annual Sonoma County Fair in California celebrated the 25th anniversary of a rather unusual contest—one that crowns the “World's Ugliest Dog”！ And while in most settings a title like this would be considered insulting (无礼的) here，it is liked by both the dog owners who come from all over the world and the visitors that come to cheer the contestants.To mark this special anniversary，this year's fair that was themed “Dog Days of Summer” featured among other things，including an exhibit featuring the contestants and winners from the last 25 years.As for the winner? Unlike last year，when he had flown in all the way from London，England，this year's title winner was Chico，California resident Walle，who beat out 29 other equally “ugly contestants”. The refreshing part was that Walle，who happened to be a last minute entrant(参赛者)，is not a nearly hairless，Chinese Crested Chihuahua or a mix of both breeds，which have been dominating the contest for many years now. Instead，he is a mutt mix—part beagle，part basset and part boxer.The four－year－old impressed the judges with his giant head and humped back. As one of them put it，he looked as though he had been photoshopped with pieces from various dogs and maybe a few other animals. It exactly represents the kind of natural “ugliness” they were looking for!Along with the title，the first time entrant received a cash prize of $1，500 as well as scheduled appearances on NBC's weekend Today on Sunday，the Today Show on Monday and the Jimmy Kimmel Show on Wednesday.Though the competition may seem unbelievable to some people，it is held just for fun and organized by an animal psychiatrist who not only vets the dogs before they enter the competition to ensure they are healthy，but also has a “pet” talk with them to ensure they are also happy. It is also important to remember all the contestants come from homes where they are loved because of their rather unusual looks. After all，beauty is in the eye of the beholder!【解题导语】在6月21日举行的世界上最丑的狗的比赛上，一条三个品种的杂交狗赢得了“世界上最丑的狗”这个头衔。

Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each passing day everyone became more anxious, waiting for the final school bell.

I clearly remember the day when my little brother was born: January 1, 1994. One of my favorite family photos shows me lying with my mother in the hospital bed, happy but un-aware of the small, sleeping baby in the background.I stayed with my grandparents for the weekend of my brother’s birth, excited about my new brother but not yet aware of what having a little brother would mean. I didn’t truly realize what was going on until we were in the hospital room at Duke University----coincidentally (碰巧地), the same room in which I had been born two years earlier.When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. Little did know that small, pink creature would grow up to be one of my favorite people in the world.In reality, though I am two years older than my brother, I am more often than not the real baby in the family. I am very lacking when it comes to common sense. Instructions constantly confuse me and I frequently find myself totally puzzled by things like knowing how to start the washing machine or manage the storage settings on my iPhone.That’s where Gibson comes in. The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks than I would care to admit, but he never complains. Though I should probably be told to figure it out myself, he always comes through.I’m envious of his ability to readily answer the ever-present, “What do you want to do with your life?” question at family gatherings.“Be a doctor,” he says----a solid answer, completely opposite to my shaky one, “Well, I’m an English major, so...”My brother truly is my best friend. No one understands me better, and there isn’t anyone else I would want to be stuck with in our family.I may not have a clear idea of where I’m headed, but he is stuck with me.1. How did the author feel when he saw his brother for the first time?A. Angry and sad.B. Excited and moved.C. Curious and scared.D. Happy and interested.2. What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?A. My brother is the real baby in the family.B. In fact, I seem to be less mature than my little brother.C. My brother gets more love from the family than I do.D. I am growing more slowly than my brother.3. What does the brother often help the author do?A. Help him deal with many daily tasks.B. Help him with his studies.C. Give him advice on how to choose a major.D. Comfort him when he is in a bad mood.4. What is the best title for this text?A. My Strange Family GatheringsB. The Real Baby in the FamilyC. Stuck with Me----My Not-So-Little Little BrotherD. The Feeling of Having a Brother参考答案1—4 CBAC【2014高考英语3月模拟试题】CDo you like shopping?

Language is a major problem for the European Union (EU). The agreement or treaty which created the organization that eventually became the EU，the Treaty of Rome，stated that each country' s language must be treated equally.The original six countries had only three languages between them：French, German andDutch/Flemish.However，there are now 15 countries in the EU，with a total of 12 languages.EU documents must be translated into all these languages，and at official meetings the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters.All this translating is very expensive and time consuming(费时的)．It is said that nearly half of all employees of the EU are engaged in translating documents and speeches，and nearly half of the EU's administrative(管理方面的)costs are spent on this task.In the near future it is probably that several more countries，most of them having their own languages，will join the EU，thus making the situation even worse.The problem is not just cost：there are practical difficulties as well.With 12 languages，there are 132 possible “translation situations” that might be needed.It is often difficult to find people in the right place at the right time who can translate from (for example) Danish into Greek，or Dutch into Portuguese，at a high professional standard.In practice the problem has been made less severe by the use of English in many contacts between EU officials，since almost all of them speak some English.However，any move to reduce the number of official languages(perhaps to four or five)would be a blow to the price of the smaller countries.Another commonly suggested solution is to make English the official language for all EU business.However，this is strongly resisted by powerful member countries like France and Germany.1．What's the main purpose of this passage?A. To give a solution to a problem.B．To find out a problem and show how severe it is.C．To criticize the European Union for ill efficiency.D．To show that the problem cannot be solved.答案：B 推理判断题。

(2016·青岛三诊)Robots that can chat, find misplaced glasses, draw aeroplanes and play with your children are attracting thousands of visitors during an expo in Tokyo as Japan adapts to changes in society.Robots, such as the sound sensitive Chapit, answer simple questions and even joke with people to help them fight loneliness and stay alert in old age.Japan has on e of the world's fastestage ing societies and the government predicts that by 2050 the proportion of people over 65 will reach 40 percent.“Many older people in Japan live alone and have no one to talk to，” said Kazuya Kitamura representative of the expo organizer.“Communication robots accompany people and don't mind listening to the same stories over and over again.”Matsumoto's Personal Mobility Robot, equipped with four cameras and a sensor to recognize the user's centre of gravity, is designed to help elderly move around without pressing buttons, using joysticks (操纵杆) or rotating wheels as in traditional wheelchairs.The robot can also help find misplaced glasses by identifying them with a sensor.Other robots, such as the awardwinning “DiGRO” can support busy parents who have little time to play with their children.The robot can use the Internet to find a simple image and then draw pictures, keeping children company while parents work.While Chapit, a relatively simple robot, managed to attract a corporate partner many researchers, such as Kiyoshi Matsumoto, a professor at the University of Tokyo, struggle to attract sponsors for more expensive projects.“We have d eveloped a robot that can assist many people, but we still haven't found a sponsor，” said Matsumoto, who added that the cost of the machine, if massproduced, would be comparable to that of a car. “In the current economic environment there are few companies willing to invest in such a costly project，” he said.1.It can be inferred from the text that ________.A.many children lack love from parentsB.robots helpful to the old will be in great demandC.robots are the most useful to childrenD.robots do better than people in healthcare2.It is difficult to find sponsors for robots because ________.A.Japan is suffering economy depressionB.the robots are of poor designC.the production of robots costs a lotD.the future market is worrying3.What is the author's attitude towards the robots referred to?A.Unsatisfied.B.Doubtful.C.Favorable.D.Regretful.1．解析：选B 推理判断题。

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. As you enter 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.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。

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校山西2017高考英语阅读理解教育课外自练阅读理解。
Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes，fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper，when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man，when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?Television has not killed reading, however. Today，newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment．Although some books with hard covers are expensive，many books are printed today as paperbacks(平装本)，which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories，for example，is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater，and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home．Every home should have a good dictionary．A good encyclopedia(百科全书)，though expensive，is useful，too，because you can find information on any subject．Besides，you can have such books as history books，science textbooks，cookbooks，and collections of stories and poems．Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.1. It can be inferred from the passage that＿＿＿.A．TV programs are a chief provider of knowledgeB．cinemas are the best choice in getting informationC．reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun D．newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself2．What does the sentence“Television has not killed reading，however.”underlinedin the second paragraph suggest?A．People only need reading，though. B．Reading is still necessary today.C．Reading is more fun than television. D．Watching television doesn’t help reading.3．Which of the following is mainly discussed in the last paragraph? A．Types of books. B．Kinds of dictionaries．C．Lists of history books． D．Collections of stories and poems.4．What can we learn from the passage?A．Fewer and fewer people will buy books．B．A good dictionary should be kept in every home．C．Books with hard covers sell better than paperbacks.D．More people like TV programs about famous men．【参考答案】1—4、.C B A B2016高考英语阅读理解--健康保健类Roughly half of college students will have some degree of depression at some point during their time in school. Even more startling, 6.2 percent of college students surveyed in 2012 considered suicide and 1.3 percent attempted it, according to an American College Health Association study released this spring. If you’re feeling depressed on campus, you may find the following tips helpful.Exercise: Physical activity releases endorphins – chemicals that produce an overall positive feeling within the body, which fight depression naturally. Mental health experts claim that exercise is a solution to those feeling mild or moderate depression. However, for those severely depressed, simply doing sports is not enough.Use school counseling services: Campuses don’t employ mental health experts simply to throw thousands of dollars down the drain. Their job is to help students, so experts recommend you use them. Most students, however, are hesitant to take a trip to their college’s counseling center, fearing being laughed at by peers. As a result, some schools like Texas Christian University, are testing students for mental health problems when they get sick and visit the campus health clinic. Take advantage of technology: Staying in touch with family members and friends from childhood and high school has become easier than ever with the coming of Facebook and video chat services like Skype. While mental health ex perts insist that it’s important to make friends in your new environment and be involved in the college community, it’s also significant to keep in touch with the people you knew before college. Go to sleep: Following a fairly regular sleep pattern can defend you against depression. In college, many students’ sleep patterns are irregular thanks to late-night studying and partying, which is harmful to their mental health. Research strongly suggests that sleep is the key to learning and memory formation.【小题1】According to the passage, physical activity __________ .A．is regarded as the best way to fight depressionB．contributes to the release of endorphinsC．can’t help the seriously depressed studentsD．improve people’s ability to learn and memorize【小题2】It can be inferred from the 3rd paragraph that __________ .A．employing mental health experts on campus is a waste of money B．students with mental health problems can’t get on well with others C．going to college’s counseling center for help requires a lot of courageD．sick students in Texas Christian University must take psychological tests【小题3】Taking advantage of technology is encouraged because it ____ A．enables students to get involved in college lifeB．helps students stay in contact with othersC．offers students a way to make new friendsD．provides a way to avoid getting bored【小题4】which of the following can NOT help one reduce depression?A．Taking exercise regularly every weekB．Chatting with old friends with SkypeC．Turning to mental health experts for adviceD．Holding parties deep into the night to relax【2014综合测试】CNo one knows why people dream, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. In a recent study, scientists found a connection between nap-time (午睡时间) dreams and better memory in people who were learning a new skill.So perhaps one way to learn something new is to practice, practise, practise---and then sleep on it.“I was surprise d by this finding,” Robert Stickgold, a Harvard University scientist who led the study.In the study, 100 college students each spent an hour on a computer, trying to get through a virtual maze (虚拟迷宫). The maze was difficult, and the study participants had to start in a different place each time they tried---making it even more difficult.Then, for the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the participants were required to stay awake while half were told to sleep. Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who slept were asked to describe any dream they had. Stickgold and his colleagues wanted to know about NREM, or non-REM sleep. REM stands for “rapid eye movement”, which is what happens during REM sleep. This period of sleep often brings strange dreams to a sleeper, although dreams can happen in both kinds of sleep. Stickgold wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren’t moving, during NREM sleep. Other studies have found a connection between NREM bring activity and learning ability.Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were about the maze. Later, when these four people tried the computer maze again, they were able to complete it faster.Stickgold believes the dream itself doesn;t help a person learn---it’s the other way around. He suspects that such dreams are caused by the brain processes associated with learning.All the maze-dreamers had done the task poorly the first time, which makes Stickgold wonder if the NREM dreams show up when a person findsa new task particularly difficult. People who had other dreams, or people didn't sleep, didn't show the same improvement.36. In the first stage of the study, the participants were asked toA. design a maze on computerB. find their way out of a mazeC. decide where to begin a mazeD. remember a location in a maze37. What happened to the participants during the break?A. Half of them were woken up when they started to dream.B. Half of them were asked to dram about the maze.C. All of them were asked to describe their thoughts.D. Half of them were asked to sleep for 90 minutes.38. What can we learn from the passage?A. Everyone will dream about a new skill after learning it.B. Stickgold was the first to study dreams and learning.C. During NREM sleep, people usually don’t dream.D. Unusual dreams often occur during REM sleep.39. In the first stage of the study, the participants were asked toA. design a maze on computerB. find their way out of a mazeC. decide where to begin a mazeD. remember a location in a maze 40. Which of the following statement best summarizes the study’s conclusion?A. Dreams have a role in learning.B. Dreams have no basis in reality.C. Dreams are important for health.D. Dreams are the best way to study.【参考答案】36-40 BDDAA【2014综合测试】DThe recent publication of autobiographies by two of Britain’s great scientists, biologist Richard Dawkins and physicist Stephen Hawking, is a wonderful opportunity to compare and contrast these two remarkable men. Surprisingly, they have rather more in common than we think. Most striking is the similarity in their backgrounds. They were born in the early 1940s to middle class families---not wealthy but comfortably off, with a strong commitment to academic excellence and public service. Both families were keen to send their boys to Oxford University---and both succeeded, Dawkins studying zoology and Hawking physics.Neither author has a very positive view of his early university life. Hawking describes the attitude at Oxford in the 1950s and 1960s as very anti-work, “You were s upposed to either be brilliant without effort or fail. Hard work was looked down upon by students and we all pretendedthat nothing was worth making an effort for.” He estimates that he studied for no more than an hour a day as an undergraduate student （本科生）.Undergraduate life was somewhat more rewarding for Dawkins. Like Hawking, he wasn’t particularly hard-working and never attended his lectures. But he found Oxford’s system of weekly essay-based lessons with an academic tutor useful, “It was really only the tutorial system that educated me.”For both men, scientific life really got going as postgraduates after 1962. Dawkins, who remained at Oxford, describes brilliantly the academic competition among the postgraduate students, which he believed helped push him to develop the ideas that formed the basis of his most famous book, The Selfish Gene. This volume transformed scientific thinking about Darwinism evolution.Hawking, on the other hand, moved to Cambridge University after graduation, where his research into the universe would eventually make him the most famous physicists since Albert Einstein. He writes movingly about the disease which progressively crippled his entire body, leaving him unable to move and only able to communicate using a computer controlled by his eyes. Although communication is slow---he can write only 3 words a minute using the machine---his illness has not affected his mind or his research on space-time and origins of the universe.Each book is recommended individually as a personal introduction to animportant scientific thinker. Read together, they provide a superbbackground to the academic and social climate of postwar Britishresearch.41. Which of the following describes a similarity in Hawking’s andDawkins’ backgrounds?A. They were both from wealthy families.B. They studied the same subject in university.C. They graduated from the same secondary school.D. They both came from families that valued good education.42. Why did Hawking study very little as an undergraduate student?A. He preferred doing his own research and experiments.B. Students considered it inappropriate to study too much.C. The materials discussed in lectures were very easy for him.D. He was more interested in making friends with his classmates.43. According to Dawkins, what helped him develop his most importantideas?A. His hard work as an undergraduate.B. The support he received from his family.C. The excellent tutors at Oxford University.D. The competition from other postgraduate students.44. What can we reasonably infer about the two scientists from thepassage?A. Dawkins worked much harder than Hawking as an undergraduate.B. Hawking is more respected by the scientific community.C. They knew each other during their studies a t Oxford.D. Hawing has experienced more physical difficulties.45. What is the function of the last paragraph?A. To state which book the writer prefers.B. To recommend the reviewed books to readers.C. To summarize the achievements of the two scientists.D. To suggest the order in which the books should be read.【参考答案】41-45 DBDDB2016高考英语阅读理解--健康保健类Lights Out at BedtimeThere are plenty of good reasons to power up a personal desktop or laptop computer in the evening — writing e-mails，chatting on social networks or making purchases over the Internet，for instance．But various studies indicate that people who stare at a PC’s bright monitor shortly before going to bed probably sleep less soundly than they would otherwise because the light seriously affects their natural wake-sleep cycle．"They haven't proved it though，" says Dieter Kunz，the team's director at Charite's Psychiatric Clinic in St．Hedwig's Hospital in Berlin． Similarly，exposure to just 10 minutes of normal bathroom lighting is enough to free the sleep hormone melatonin，which regulates people's natural wake-sleep cycle and makes them sleepy at nightfall．Ten years ago，a team of British and American researchers detected a photo-pigment（光敏色素） in the human eye that signals to the body whether it is day or night，summer or winter．The photo-pigment is especially sensitive to blue light．"The blue light more or less tells the body，'It's daytime，be awake，'" Kunz says．Monitors have a mostly cold white light content and scientists suspect the photo-pigment may react similarly to it．So the longer people look into the bright light，the more awake they become - and then sleep poorly．A lot of people have difficulty "switching off" in the evening．About half of the women in Germany and a quarter of the men sleep poorly． Environmental factors are only one of the possible causes．Job stress as well as personal and health concerns are also the main reasons for their sleep problems．In addition，electronic objects' standby lights and indicator lamps can be annoying in the dark and affect sleep．"Sound scientific evidence is still lacking on this matter，" Kunz notes．According to Kunz，those who cannot go without their computer in the evening should turn down the blue content if possible and lower thebrightness somewhat．"But nobody does that because，after all，you want to concentrate while working at the computer and the light helps the brain．"【小题1】The passage is mainly about ____________．A．natural wake-up cyclesB．the effect of light on sleepC．personal and health concernsD．functions of computer monitors【小题2】The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to_____．A．normal bathroom lightingB．10-minute exposure to lightingC．the release process of a chemicalD．a chemical affecting one’s sleep cycle【小题3】We can learn from the passage that ______．A．the blue light has a calming effect．B．the photo-pigment tells people day or nightC．women in Germany use computers more often than menD．it has been proved that standby lights affect people’s sleep。

George Gershwin，born in 1898，was one of America's greatest composers.He published his first song when he was eighteen years old.During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.Many of Gershwin's songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City.These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s.Many of his songs have remained popular as ever.Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way—from jazz to country.In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music.Could jazz，some people asked，be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music.Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it.And in that short time，he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue.Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert.The audience were thrilled when they heard his music.It made him worldfamous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular. In 1928，Gershwin went to Paris.He applied to study composition (作曲)with the wellknown musician Nadia Boulanger，but she rejected him.She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazzinfluenced style.While there，Gershwin wrote An American in Paris.When it was first performed，critics (评论家)were divided over the music.Some called it happy and full of life，to others it was stilly and boring.But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States.It still remains one of his most famous works.George Gershwin died in 1937，just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer.He was only thirtynine years old.Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages.People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.【语篇解读】本文讲述了George Gershwin 一位伟大的音乐家的一生，对音乐界及世界的影响。

His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is s till o nly a teenager.

(2016·青岛三诊)Robots that can chat, find misplaced glasses, draw aeroplanes and play with your children are attracting thousands of visitors during an expo in Tokyo as Japan adapts to changes in society.Robots, such as the sound sensitive Chapit, answer simple questions and even joke with people to help them fight loneliness and stay alert in old age.Japan has on e of the world's fastestage ing societies and the government predicts that by 2050 the proportion of people over 65 will reach 40 percent.“Many older people in Japan live alone and have no one to talk to，” said Kazuya Kitamura representative of the expo organizer.“Communication robots accompany people and don't mind listening to the same stories over and over again.”Matsumoto's Personal Mobility Robot, equipped with four cameras and a sensor to recognize the user's centre of gravity, is designed to help elderly move around without pressing buttons, using joysticks (操纵杆) or rotating wheels as in traditional wheelchairs.The robot can also help find misplaced glasses by identifying them with a sensor.Other robots, such as the awardwinning “DiGRO” can support busy parents who have little time to play with their children.The robot can use the Internet to find a simple image and then draw pictures, keeping children company while parents work.While Chapit, a relatively simple robot, managed to attract a corporate partner many researchers, such as Kiyoshi Matsumoto, a professor at the University of Tokyo, struggle to attract sponsors for more expensive projects.“We have d eveloped a robot that can assist many people, but we still haven't found a sponsor，” said Matsumoto, who added that the cost of the machine, if massproduced, would be comparable to that of a car. “In the current economic environment there are few companies willing to invest in such a costly project，” he said.1.It can be inferred from the text that ________.A.many children lack love from parentsB.robots helpful to the old will be in great demandC.robots are the most useful to childrenD.robots do better than people in healthcare2.It is difficult to find sponsors for robots because ________.A.Japan is suffering economy depressionB.the robots are of poor designC.the production of robots costs a lotD.the future market is worrying3.What is the author's attitude towards the robots referred to?A.Unsatisfied.B.Doubtful.C.Favorable.D.Regretful.1．解析：选B 推理判断题。
文中第二、三、四段都在讲述这种机器人能陪伴孤独老人，给他们讲笑话，还可以与老人交流，听老人讲一遍又一遍同样的故事也不会觉得烦，机器人还能帮助老人四处走动等等，从这些可以推断出对老人有帮助的机器人在未来会有很大需求。
故选B。
2．解析：选C 细节理解题。
从文中最后一段“ the cost of the machine, if masspr oduced, would be comparable to that of a car”他补充说如批量生产，机器的成本就相当于一辆汽车的成本，可见机器人的成本太高，故很难找到赞助商，故选C。
3．解析：选C 观点态度题。
结合全文可知，作者介绍了诸多关于日本生产的这些机器人的功能，从第一段“可以聊天、帮人找眼镜、画飞机和你的孩子一起玩耍的机器人吸引了在东京的世博会期间成千上万的参观者，因为日本人适应社会的变化。
”最能体现作者的态度，虽然机器人生产的赞助商很难找，但是这些新型机器人确实吸引人眼球，故作者对于机器人的发展是赞成的。
故选C。
阅读理解训练(2015·福建省普通高中毕业班质检)So many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle afriendship or family relationship.A friend of mine, recently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I can't do that. He's the one who should apologize.” After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.Whenever we ho ld on to our anger, we turn “small st uff(问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn't mean that you're wrong. Everything will be fine. You'll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.You'll also notic e that, as you reach out and let others be “right，” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don't, that's okay too. You'll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you'll be more peaceful yourself.文章大意：该文章主要告诉我们在与别人争执时先向对方道歉，缓解朋友之间的关系，享受友情。
