阅读理解训练题（一)AEver since news of widespread food recalls caused by a carcinogenic dye broke，there has been confusion（混淆）over possible links to the country of the same name，but Sudan officials say there is no connection whatever。

Sudan 1 is a red industrial dye that has been found in some chilli powder，but was banned in food products across the European Union (EU）in July 2003。

Since the ban was put in place, EU officials have been striving to remove some food products from the shelves。

So far 580 products have been recalled.Last week Sudan's Embassy in the United Kingdom asked the Food Standards Agency (FSA）for clarification of the origin of the dye’s name。

Omaima Mahmoud Al Sharief, a press official at Sudan's Embassy in China, explained the purpose of the inquiry was to clear up any misunderstanding over links between the country and the poisonous dye。

(英语)高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析

（英语）高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读下列短文，从短文后每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform our daily lives, help to form new industries, even remove world economic powers from their present positions. Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in research labs all over the globe—and Asians are in the forefront. Physicists are creating a new class of materials that display an amazing property unforeseen even two years ago—superconductivity (超导体技术).Used today only in specialized equipment, super conductors have the potential to radically change most of the electrical and electronic appliances found in the home, making them smaller, more powerful and efficient. They could free our cities of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles with electric cars, and cut the cost of electricity. The new materials do something that even the best of conductors such as copper and silver cannot—they do away with all electrical resistance. The significances for energy storage are great.The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 75 years it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at extremely low temperatures. It was first observed in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who cooled mercury (水银) to temperatures below -269℃ with liquid helium (氦). Then in January last year, two IBM scientists, K. Alex Muller and J. George Bednorz, found a metal oxide ceramic (氧化陶瓷) that superconducted at -243℃. Their report went largely unnoticed until last December, when it was confirmed at a scientific meeting in Boston. Today Japan, India, China and other Asian countries all have their share of experts who spend their days and nights in labs, acting as midwives (助产士) to a new technology.（1）As is indicated in the passage, the technology of superconductivity ____________. A. has already been developed B. is still under developmentC. will be used only in specialized equipmentD. will be used in daily lives in a few years（2）The new technology differs from the others in that ____________.A. it began in the East and spread later to the rest of the worldB. it began in the West and spread later to the rest of the worldC. it is being cultivated in research labs around the worldD. it is accessible to physicists who are intelligent and rich（3）From the passage, we may conclude that ____________.A. Asian scientists gain the lead in the growth of the new technologyB. Dutch scientists kept reporting new findings for the last 75 yearsC. IBM scientists' report receive immediate attention all over the worldD. the West was astonished at the new technology developed by the Asians（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Prospect of a New TechnologyB. Superconductivity: A New TechnologyC. A New Technology: The Key to Change the Way of Our LivesD. A New Technology: A Joint Effort of Many Countries【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了超导体技术的发展潜能和发展状况。

B爱尔兰的阿基尔岛一直是在欧洲很受欢迎的旅游目的地。

然而，四月份以来，这个只有2600个居民的小岛引起了全世界的重视，因为30年前被海水冲刷消失的沙滩神奇地回来了。

这一系列事件始于1984年，当时这座岛上五镇之一——Dooagh镇的居民发现一个惊人的景象，美丽的沙滩被大西洋风暴给卷走了，只剩下岩石和岩石池。

34年间，只有少量的沙子被吹了回来，结果，该地的旅游业渐渐衰退，岸边很多旅馆，酒吧和餐厅也都关门了。

大约去年的复活节以来，发生了奇迹——连续十来天的潮汐过后，曾经300米光秃秃的海岸线现在被重新覆盖了金灿灿的沙子。

科学家猜测沙堆在海岸附近经数月堆积而成，然后被强大的海风和波浪运送到了岸边。

当地人非常开心看到沙滩回归，这吸引了成千的游客来此目睹大自然的力量。

高考英语阅读理解精英练习题(8)及答案

2014高考英语阅读理解精英练习题（8）及答案阅读理解Many families in the United States have a larger income now than ever before, but people are finding it difficult to make ends meet anyway. Almost everyone is wondering,“What happens to all my money?”I never seem to have anythi ng left to put away.Why isn’t a dollar worth as much as it used to be? One dollar is always worth the same amount, that is, 100 cents. But the value of a dollar is how much it can buy. The value of money depends on the cost of living. Economists（经济学家）say that the cost of living is the money that a family must pay for the necessities of life（生活必需品）such as food, housing or rent, clothes, and medical expenses. For many years now, the cost of living has increased greatly, so the value of the dollar has decreased. When a dollar has a low value, you cannot buy as many things with it.No one fully understands why the cost of living keeps increasing, but economists believe that workers and producers can make prices go up. As workers earn more money, they have more money to spend, so many demand more goods. If there is a great demand for certain goods, the prices of these goods go up. At the same time, if there’s a shortage（短缺）of goods, the prices also go up. For example, if everyone wants to buy more and more gas, the price of gas goes up. When companies withhold gas from buyers, they can also make the price of gas go up.Families need to know what happens to their money. They need to make their income meet the cost of living, so many people plan a family budget. A budget（预算）is a list of monthly. If your expenses add up to more than your income, you must find ways to save money. Maybe you’re spending too much on entertainment. Or if you’re spending too much on clothes, you may want to sew your own clothes. Budgeting helps you spend your money wisely as the cost of living increases.58. What has troubled many families in the United States?A. A not-large-enough incomeB. Nothing is left over to put awayC. The increasing cost of livingD. A shortage of certain goods59. ________determines(决定) the value of the dollar.A. The governmentB. The cost of livingC. The economistD. The bank60. While the cost of living increases, the value of the dollar__________.A. increases tooB. decreasesC. neither increases nor decreasesD. seldom decreases61. When ________, the prices go up.A. demand（需求）exceeds（超过）supply（供给）B. supply exceeds demandC. demand doesn’t exceed supplyD. supply equals demand参考答案-------------58-61CBBA阅读理解Valentine’s Day’s is named after Saint Valentine, an early Christian churchman who reportedly helped young lovers. Valentine was executed(处决)for his Christian beliefs on February 14 more than 1,700 years ago, but the day that has his name is even earlier than that.More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers. As part of the celebration, girls wrote their names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container（容器）. Boys reached into the container and pulled one out. The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweetheart for a year.Lovers still put their names on pieces of paper and they send each other Valentine’s Day cards that tell of their love. Sometimes they also send gifts, like flowers or chocolate candy. Americans usually send these gifts and cards through the mail system. But some use another way to send this message. They have it printed in a newspaper. The cost is usually a few dollars. Some of the messages are simple an d short:“Jane, I love you very much. Peter.”Others say more. This one, for example, “Dan, roses are red, violets are blue. I hope you love me as much as I love you. Forever, Mary.”Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local, but one, USA Today, is sold throughout the United Stated and 90 other countries as well. This means someone can send a Valentine message to a lover in a far-away city or town almost anywhere in the world. These messages cost 80 dollars and more. An employee of the USA Today says readers can have a smallheart or rose printed along with their messages this year. Will this kind of Valentine’s Day messages reaches the one you love? Well, just make sure he or she reads the newspaper.62. How to understand“the day that has his name is even earlier than that”?A. The holiday for lovers is earlier than Valentine’s Day that was named after Saint Valentine.B. Valentine was executed a long time ago.C. The day when Valentine was executed is earlier than a holiday for lovers in ancient Rome.D. Valentine’s Day existed when Saint Valentine was still alive.63. Why the girl whose name was written on the paper would become a boy’s lover or sweetheart for a year?A. Because the girl would love the boy who pulled out a piece of paper on wh ich the girl’s namewas written.B. It’s up to the face.C. Because the boy would love the girl whose name was on the paper pulled out by him.D. Not mentioned in the passage.64. In what way do lovers express love when Valentine’s Day is comin g, according to the passage?A. Sending Valentine’s Day cards.B. Sending gifts, like flowers or chocolate candy.C. Sending love through a newspaper.D. All of the above.65. Why printing message in USA Today is so expensive?A. Because readers can have a small heart or rose printed along with their messages.B. Because USA Today is sold through the United States and other countries.C. Because USA Today is an important newspaper.D. Because the quality of the paper USA Today is high.参考答案---------62-65DDDBAbout a third of all common cancers in the United States, China and Britain could beprevented each year if people ate healthier food, drank less alcohol and exercised more, health experts said on Friday.Reports from the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) suggest that making simple lifestyle changes could prevent some 40 percent of breast cancers alone in Britain and the United States, as well as tens of thousands of stomach cancers.“Even in 2011, people are dying unnecess arily from cancers that could be prevented through keeping a healthy weight, diet, physical activity and other lifestyle factors,” said a WCRF medical and scientific adviser.WCRF findings are supported by World Health Organization (WHO) reports, which say regular exercise can prevent many diseases such as cancers and heart diseases.Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world and its incidence(发病率) is rising. Each year around 12.7 million people discover they have cancer and 7.6 million people die from some form of the disease. There are about 200 known types of cancer.Rachel Thompson, the WCRF’s head of science, said that while the message was simple —that not smoking, eating good food and being a healthy weight can help ward off many cancers —it was still a difficult one to get across.The WHO says adults should do at least 150 minutes of exercise a week. This could be done by walking for 30 minutes five times per week or by cycling to work every day.Peter Baldini, head of the World Lung Foundation, also called on all governments to introduce smoke-free laws and raise the price of cigarettes. Tobacco kills millions of smokers every year, and tobacco-related lung cancers also kill hundreds of thousands of people who don’t smoke but have been exposed to it second-hand.“There isn’t a magic bullet to cure all forms of cancer, but we have the opportunity and the duty to protect people from developing cancer wherever possible,” Baldini said.63. Which of the following words can best take the place of the phrase “ward off” in the sixthparagraph?A. protectB. preventC. developD. cure【答案】B【解析】词义猜测题。

高考英语阅读理解精英练习题(16)及答

2014高考英语阅读理解精英练习题（16）及答人物传记类---[2012·四川卷] CI left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I_was_treading_water,_just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t th ink I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I get a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deepdown wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start－there’s a dark period inbetween where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.”My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.The I met an agent(代理商)who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After twoandahalf years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal－that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there's no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同)of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding(有回报的)．49. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A．I was waiting for good fortune.B．I was trying to find an admirable job.C．I was being aimless about a suitable job.D．I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.50. The author decided to write a novel________.A．to finish the writing courseB．to realize her own dreamC．to satisfy readers’ wishD．to earn more money51. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A．Disturbed. B．Ashamed.C．Confident. D．Uncertain.52. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A．It pays to stick to one’s goal.B．Hard work can lead to success.C．She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.D．There is no end in sight when starting to do something.【要点综述】文章讲述了作者从英语文学专业毕业之后，不知道自己想要做什么，几经周折，最终幸运地找到了自己喜爱的职业。

高考英语阅读理解高分训练题附答案

高考英语阅读理解高分训练题附答案第一篇：A little under one-third of U.S. families have no Internet access and do not plan to get it, with most of the holdouts seeing little usefor it in their lives, according to a survey released on Friday.Park Associates, a Dallas-based technology market research firm, said 29 percent of U.S. families, or 31 million homes, do not haveInternet access and do not intend to subscribe(预订)to an Internet service over the next 12 months. The second annual National Technology Scan conducted by Park found that the main reason why potential customers say they do not subscribe to the Internet is because of the low value to their daily lives rather than concerns over cost.Forty-four percent of these families say they are not interested in anything on the Internet, versus just 22 percent who say they cannot afford a computer or the cost of Internet service, the survey showed. The answer “I’m not sure how to use the Internet” came from 17 percent of participants who do not subscribe. The response “I do all my e-commerce shopping and YouTube-watching at work” was cited by 14 percent of Internet-access users. Three percent said the Internet doesn’t reach their homes.The study found U.S. broadband adoption grew to 52 percent over 2006, up from 42 percent in 2005. Roughly half of new subscribersconverted(转变)from slower-speed, dial-up Internet access while the other half of families had no prior access.“The industry continues to chip(击破)away at the core of non-subscribers, but has a long way to go,” said John Barrett, director of research at Parks Associates. “Entertainment applications will be the key. If anything will pull in the holdouts, it’s going to be applications that make the Internet more similar to pay-TV,” he predicted.1. What does the underlined word “holdouts” in the first paragraph most probably mean?A. some American familiesB. those who hold out one’s opinionsC. those who have been surveyedD. those who still haven’t access to the Internet currently2. Many potential customers refuse to subscribe to the Internet mainly because _________.A. they show too much concern about the costB. they can find little value of itC. they do most YouTube-watching at workD. the Int ernet doesn’t reach their homes3. From the passage we can infer that ________.A. It is not an easy job to transform those holdouts into theInternet usersB. people will adopt dial-up Internet access no moreC. many Americans enjoy doing e-commerce shopping at homeD. more than half of the population are using the Internet in 20054. According to John Barrett, what is the key to attracting more U.S. families to broadband service?A. making the Internet look more similar to TV setB. applying the Internet more to entertainmentC. providing more pay-TV programsD. chipping away at the core of non-subscribers5. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Web develops with technologyB. The present situation of webC. Many Americans see little point to webD. It is urgent to promote web service第二篇：Something in chocolate could be used to stop coughs and lead to more effective medicines, say UK researchers.Their study found that theobromine, found in cocoa, was nearly athird more effective in stopping coughs than codeine, which was considered the best cough medicine at present.The Imperial College London researchers who published their results online said the discovery could lead to more effective cough treatment. “While coughing is not necessarily harmful(有害的) it can have a major effect on the quality of life, and this discovery could be a huge step forward in treating this problem,” said Professor Peter Barnes.Ten healthy volunteers(志愿者) were given theobromine, codeine or placebo, a pill that contains no medicine, during the experiment. Neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew who received which pill. The researchers then measured levels of capsaicin, which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign of how well the medicine are stopping coughs.The team found that, when the volunteers were given theobromine, the capsaicin need to produce a cough was around a third higher than in the placebo group. When they were given codeine they need onlyslightly higher levers of capsaicin to cause a cough compared with the placebo.The researchers said that theobromine worked by keeping down a verve activity(神经活动), which cause coughing. They also found that unlike some standard cough treatments, theobromine caused no side effects such as sleepiness.1. According to Professor Barnes, theobromine ______.A. cannot be as effective as codeineB. can be harmful to people’s healthC. cannot be separated from chocolateD. can be a more effective cure for coughs2. What was used in the experiment to cause coughing?A. Theobromine.B. Codeine.C. Capsaicin.D. Placebo.3. We learn from the text that volunteers in the experiment _____.A. were patients with bad coughsB. were divided into the three groupsC. received standard treatmentsD. suffered little side effects4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Codeine: A New MedicineB. Chocolate May Cure CoughsC. Cough Treatment: A Hard CaseD. Theobromine Can Cause Coughs第一篇：1.

However, television today is dominated by adult language, making it hard for concerned families to find channels suitable for young eyes. Therefore, most movie channels are automatically removed form the list of TV channels for an entire family. The following are some good ones based on popularity on a global scale.Discovery ChannelDiscovery and its many channels can be considered as the founding father of informative channels on television. What National Geographic does in a scholastic(学术的) manner, Discovery tries to do in an entertaining manner—educating the masses about anything and everything.Fox FamilyFinding a movie channel that broadcasts pictures suitable for teenagers and kids alike is very difficult unless your service operator offers you Fox family movies. This channel screens most movies before it broadcasts them, ensuring that no movie shows unacceptable material for young eyes.NickelodeonA channel very similar to Cartoon Network, it mostly shows US programs. However, their shows are sometimes a bit more mature for younger kids and better suited to kids aged 5and up.ABC FamilyABC started the ABC family channel in an attempt to introduce family-centered shows and serials to the public in the USA. The need for this channel was felt after ABC observed the lack of proper family type US channels.LivingIf travelling is a family hobby and better living is the motto then there is no better channel than Living. Kids can see never-seen-before sights, learning about new places while adults can practice their cooking and learn amazing things about motorbikes.21. According to the text, most channels offered by a digital TV service ______.A. can keep people away from TV violenceB. are welcomed by families with small childrenC. are concerned about the proper use of languageD. are unsuitable for the whole family to watch together22. Which of the following can best describe Discovery Channel?A. Relaxing.B. Touching.C. Commercial.D. Professional.23. If people want to know about what a traditional family is like, they can choose ____.A. Fox FamilyB. NickelodeonC. ABC FamilyD. LivingBDo you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among peoplelaughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it’s because we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areawhich relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact. Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent for neuroscience of what Einstein’s theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you’ll u nderstand why.24. Mirror neurons can explain _____.A. why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we suffer from a coldC. why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late25. The underlined word “triggered” in the third paragraph probably means “____”.A. set offB. cut offC. built upD. broken up26. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _____.A. relate to human behavior and interactionB. control human physical actions and feelingsC. result in bad behavior and social disordersD. determine our knowledge and language abilities27. What is the passage mainly about?A. Ways to find mirror neurons.B. Problems of mirror neurons.C. Existence of mirror neurons.D. Functions of mirror neurons.CThe sharing economy, represented by companies like Airbnb or Uber, is the latest fashion craze. But many supporters have overlooked the reality that this new business model is largely based on escaping regulations and breaking the law.Airbnb is an internet-based service that allows people to rent out spare rooms to strangers for short stays. Uber is an internet taxi service that allows thousands of people to answer ride requests with their own cars. There are hundreds of other such services.The good thing about the sharing economy is that it promotes the use of underused resources. Millions of people have houses or apartments with empty rooms, and Airbnb allowsthem to profit from these rooms while allowing guests a place to stay at prices that are often far less than those charged by hotels. Uber offers prices that are competitive with standard taxi prices and their drivers are often much quicker and more trustworthy.But the downside of the sharing economy has gotten much less attention. Most cities and states both tax and regulate hotels, and the tourists who stay in hotels are usually an important source of tax income. But many of Airhnb’s customers are not paying the taxes required under the law.Airbnb can also raise issues of safety for its customers and trouble for hosts' neighbors. Hotels are regularly inspected to ensure that they are not fire traps and that they don't form other risks for visitors. Airbnb hosts face no such inspections.Since Airbnb is allowing people to escape taxes and regulations, the company is simply promoting thefts. Others in the economy will lose by bearing an additional tax burden or being forced to live next to an apartment unit with a never-ending series of noisy visitors.The same story may apply with Uber. Uber is currently in disputes over whether its cars meet the safety and insurance requirements imposed on standard taxis. Also, if Uber and related services flood the market, they could harm all taxi drivers' ability to earn a minimum wage.This downside of the sharing needs to be taken seriously, hut that doesn't mean the current tax and regulatory structure is perfect.28. What is the positive thing about the sharing economy?A. It is a global trend.B. It is beyond regulations.C. It draws on spare resources.D. It brings in modest profits.29. What is the problem with Airbnb customers according to the passage?A. They are not regularly inspected.B. They are likely to commit thefts.C. They are not allowed to escape taxes.D. They can be noisy to hosts’ neighbou rs.30. What is the argument over Uber according to the passage?A. Whether it guarantees customers' safety.B. Whether it provides reliable services.C. Whether it lowers customers' expenses.D. Whether it can compete with standard taxis.31. What will be talked about in the following paragraphs?A. Existing regulations and laws.B. Necessary improvements of current laws.C. Further development of Airbnb and Uber.D. More downsides of Airbnb and Uber.DThe old shopkeeper led me through to the back of the shop. The room was filled with boxes and dusty photographs of people holding packages in their hands.Mr. Hopkins said, “We have a very wide choice of items for sale. Whenever I serve a new customer, I take their picture.” Mr. Hopkins pointed to an ancient camera on a table.I began to appreciate the lovely items on sale. I spent a very pleasant hour being shown the commodities in the shop. Finally, I bought an antique jewelry box, a pair of riding boots and a sewing machine.I was very excited that I had found such a good little shop. “I will tell all my friends about your lovely place,” I told theshopkeeper. ?Please do not do that, sir”, said Mr. Hopkins. “This is a special place for special people. You must keep this shop a secret.” Then he took my photo graph, and handed me the picture straight away.That was quick!” I exclaimed. In the picture I looked proud and excited holding the presents I had bought there.On Christmas Day, my friends and relatives were delighted with the presents I had bought for them. For weeks, my brother begged me to take him to the wonderful little shop. I finally agreed .We walked along Oxford Street, passed the department store and found nothing. In its place was an empty space being used as a car park. I checked the area again. There was the music shop, and there was the department store. In between should have been Hopkins and Son, but it wasn’t there.Just then an old policeman came . “Are you looking for something, sir?” he asked. “I am looking for a little shop called Hopk ins and Son. ”Oh yes, there was a shop here once called Hopkins and Son. But it was knocked down over 30 years ago.”I looked again at the place , and then I reached into my pocket and took out the photograph that Mr. Hopkins had taken of me holding my presents in the little shop.How strange” I exclaimed.32. What did the author think of Hopkins and Son?A. Big and modern .B. Old and outdated.C. Little and dusty.D. Lovely and wonderful.33. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that Mr. Hopkins ________.A. was ashamed of his little shop.B. didn’t like his shop to be advertised.C. was one of the author’s special friends.D. handed the author his picture immediately.34. What does the underlined word揷ommoditiesn” refer to?A. The goods in the shopB. the author’s giftsC. Photographs taken by Mr. HopkinsD. Packages held by other customers35.

落堕市安心阳光实验学校2014高考英语阅读理解训练题（14）附答案We've all experienced a "good cry". Shedding (流) some tears can often make us feel better and help us put things in perspective. But why is crying beneficial? And is there such a thing as a "bad cry"?The researchers analyzed the detailed accounts of more than 3,000 recent crying experiences and found that the benefits of crying depend entirely on the what, where and when of a particular crying episode (一段经历). The majority of persons reported improvements in their mood following a short period of crying. However, one third reported no improvement in mood and a tenth felt worse after crying. Criers who received social support during their crying episode were the most likely to report improvements in mood.Research to date has not always produced a clear picture of the benefits of crying, in part because the results often seem to depend on how crying is studied. The researchers note several challenges in accurately studying crying behavior in a laboratory setting. Volunteers who cry in a laboratory setting often do not describe their experiences as making them feel better. Rather, crying in a laboratory setting often results in the study participants feeling worse; this may be due to the stressful conditions of the study itself, such as being videotaped or watched by researchers. This may produce negative emotions, which neutralize (使无效) the positive benefits usually connected with crying.However, these laboratory studies have provided interesting findings about the physical effects of crying. Criers do show calming effects such as slower breathing, but they also experience a lot of unpleasant stress, including increased heart rate and sweating. What is interesting is that bodily calming usually lasts longer than the unpleasant. The calming effects may occur later and overcome the stress reaction, which would account for why people tend to remember mostly the pleasant side of crying.Research has shown that the effects of crying also depend on who is shedding the tears. For example, individuals with anxiety or mood disorders are least likely to experience the positive effects of crying. In addition, the researchers report that people who lack insight into their emotional lives actually feel worse after crying.12. We can infer from the passage that __________________.A. people don't like being seen cryingB. crying in public makes people feel betterC. a bad cry is as common as a good cryD. a good cry can sometimes help us face problems rightly13. The beneficial effects of crying can be shown when _________.A. your breath becomes slowB. you sweat a lot.C. your face turns paleD. you are being watched14. Who will be least likely to feel worse after crying?A. People who receive help in course of crying.B. People who fail to understand their emotions.C. People who are anxious and nervous.D. People whose mood is not in order.15. The passage is mainly about ___________.A. the types of cryingB. the way of cryingC. the psychology of cryingD. the causes of crying参考答案DAAC****************************************************结束高考英语二轮复习专题训练：阅读理解（49）Many people enjoy an adventure story. Others like mysteries that lead the reader to an exciting discovery. The story of the young British naturalist Charles Darwin combines both of these. That is why the author and illustrator (插图画家)Rosalyn Schanzer chose to write the children's book “What Darwin Saw”. The book was published just in time for the 200th anniversary of Charle s Darwin’s birth on February 12, 1809.Rosalyn Schanzer carefully gathered Darwin’s thoughts and observations from his diaries, letters and books. Many of the words in the book are Darwin’s own. She also traveled to the Galapagos Islands and South America. She researched some of the places Darwin had visited on his trip on the ship, the Beagle in the 1830s. She took thousands of pictures, which helped her create the book’s beautiful and colorful drawings. These pictures show young readers what led Darwin to form his great discovery: the evolution of species through natural selection.“What Darwin Saw” tells of the adventures of a young man who traveled around the world as a scientist. The voyage of the Beagle took Charles Darwin to South America, where he rode horses with cowboys and met Native Americans in Argentina. He reported the eruption of the Osorno Volcano and experienced an earthquake in Chile. Darwin’s observations showed him that environments can change very quickly and a great deal over time.Rosalyn Schanzer brings to life the clues that suggested to Darwin that living things evolve, or change, over time. She illustrates the unusual tortoises, birds and lizards that Darwin studied in the Galapagos Islands. She shows how Darwin came to understand that these island animals had differences, developed over time, that helped them survive. And she explains the theory of evolution through natural selection ina way that both children and adults will enjoy.5. Who is "What Darwin Saw" intended for?A. Parents.B. Teachers.C. Researchers.D. Children.6. “What Darwin Saw” mainly focuses on __________.A. how Darwin made his voyage to South AmericaB. what led Darwin to form the theory of evolutionC. when Darwin left home and began his expeditionD. where Darwin explored the living things in nature7. Rosalyn Schanzer took thousands of pictures in order to _________.A. provide materials for her new bookB. keep track of the places she visitedC. find out what interested young DarwinD. enjoy the beautiful scenery later8. Which of the following statements is NOT true about “What Darwin Saw”?A. Its author bases her writing on careful research.B. It includes many pictures of various species.C. It is intended to present Darwin's life story.D. It was published in honor of Charles Darwin.参考答案-------(B) DBAC*********************************************************结束故事类---（二）[2012·西安一检]Wherever she goes, Molly leaves her mark.

定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校2014高考英语阅读理解精英训练极品题（1）及答案阅读理解As thousands of communities in the USA — especially in the South —became booming gateways for immigrant families from Central and South America during the 1990s and the early years of the new century, public schools struggled with the unfamiliar task of serving the large numbers of English learners arriving in their classrooms.Education programs needed to be built from scratch. “We had no teaching resources suitable for English learners here before. We had to develop them all ourselves,” a Texas p rincipal said. Throughout the country, districts had to train their own teachers to teach English to non-native speakers or recruit teachers from elsewhere. School staff members had to figure out how to communicate with parents who spoke no English.But even as immigration has slowed or stopped in many places, and instructional programs for English-learners have matured, serving immigrant families and their children remains a work in progress in many public schools, especially those in communities that are skeptical, or sometimes unwelcoming, to the newcomers. One of the biggest challenges educators face, is communicating effectively with parents who don’t speak English — an issue that, in part, has contributed to recent complaints of discrimination by Latino students in some cities.“The parents’ role is very important for the success of these students, but it's also one of the most difficult things we’ve had to tackle,” said Jim D. Rollins, the president of the Springdale school district, where the 19,000-student school system has gone from having no English-learners 15 years ago to more than 7,500 now. “You have to make it a priority and work on it, work on it, and work on it.”Aside from the practical challenges, such as finding bilingual (会说两种语言的) staff members, guiding districts through such dramatic changes requires school leaders to bridge difficult political and cultural divides. For school leaders in the South, especially in the last few years, this difficult job has been made harder still by the negative attitudes of some locals towards immigrants.36. According to the passage, what is the problem that public schools are facing?A. Handling more cases from the immigrant Mexican communities.B. Offering services to immigrant families in the southern states.C. Offering enough communicative lessons to immigrant parents.D. Providing education for non-native English learners.【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。

He was a businessman and he helped them improve production. At last his health problems became too serious. He left and formed his own company.With his wife and mother, he founded Arnold Bakery. They tried new recipes (配方). changing the kind and amount of flour used. This enabled Arnold to work there without too much pain. The bread, made with unbleached flour (标准粉), was baked in a brick oven (烘炉).They began by baking two dozen loaves. The bread was sold door to door for fifteen cents a loaf.

It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near—sighted. ThenPeople who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they ho ld it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading ,they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyesbecome cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object our of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.1. We should take good care of our eyes .A. only when we can see wellB. only when we cannot see perfectlyC. even if we can see wellD. only when we realize how important our eyes are2. When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) , one is probably .A. near-sightedB. far-sightedC. astigmaticD. suffering from cataracts。

高考英语阅读理解精英练习题(22)

2014高考英语阅读理解精英练习题（22）及答阅读理解Passage 3Some 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.68. 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 funD．newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself69．What does the sentence“Television has not killed reading，however.”underlined in 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.70．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. 71．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．3答案 68.C 69.B 70.A 71.B阅读理解----------------EThe Vienna-based researchers showed that dogs will stop doing a simple task when not rewarded if another dog, which continues to be rewarded, is present．The experiment consisted of taking pairs of dogs and getting them to present a paw for a reward．On giving this “handshake” the dogs received a piece of food．One of the dogs was then asked to shake hands, but received no food．The other dog continued to get the food when it was asked to perform the task．The dog without the reward quickly stopped doing the task, and showed signs of anger or stress when its partner was rewarded．To make sure that the experiment was really showing the interaction between the dogs rather than just the frustration of not being rewarded, a similar experiment was conducted where the dogs performed the task without the partner．Here they continued to present the paw for much longer．Dr Frederike Range from the University of Vienna says this shows that it was the presence of the rewarded partner that was the greater influence on their behaviour．“The only difference is one gets food and the other doesn’t, they are responding to being unequally rewarded．” she sai d．The researchers say this kind of behaviour, where one animal gets frustrated with what is happening with another, has only been observed in primates（灵长类） before．Studies with various types of monkeys and chimpanzees show they react not only to seeing their partners receiving rewards when they are not, but also to the type of reward．The dog study also looked at whether the type of reward made a difference．Dogs were given either bread or sausage, but seemed to react equally to either．Dr Range says this may be because they have been trained．72．The dogs refused to give the paw when they_______．A．found another dog was given nothingB．felt they were not treated equallyC．were aware they received less foodD．were given too much reward73．What would the dogs do if they presented their paw alone?A．They would go on with the performance much longer．B．They would be too shy to present their paw．C．They would miss their partners．D．They would compare what they got with that of others．74．According to the passage, compared with dogs, monkeys and chimpanzees ______．A．pay no attention to the type of rewardB．only like to play interesting gamesC．pay attention to the type of reward as well as whether they are rewarded D．care more about how they are rewarded75．Which of the following can best summerise the passage?A．Animals’ various ways to show angerB．Dogs are more envious than manC．Most animals want to be be rewarded for their workD．Animals also have a sense of fairplay参考答案72．B考查细节理解。

2014高考英语阅读理解精英训练题（22）及答案(2012·陕西师大附中月考)Increasingly，Americans are becoming their own doctors，by going online to diagnose their symptoms，order home health tests or medical devices，or even self-treat their illnesses with drugs from Internet pharmacies(药店)．Some avoid doctors because of the high cost of medical care，especially if they lack health insurance.Or they may stay because they find it embarrassing to discuss their weight，alcohol consumption or couch potato habits.Patients may also fear what they might learn about their health，or they distrust physicians because of negative experiences in the past.But playing doctor can also be a deadly game.Every day，more than six million Americans turn to the Internet for medical answers—most of them aren't nearly skeptical enough of what they find.A 2002 survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 72 percent of those surveyed believe all or most of what they read on health websites.They shouldn't.Look up “headache”，and the chances of finding reliable and complete information，free from a motivation for commercial gain，are only one in ten，reports an April 2005 Brown Medical School study.Of the 169 websites the researchers rated，only 16 scored as “high quality”．Recent studies found faulty facts about all sorts of other disorders，causing one research team to warn that a large amount of incomplete，inaccurate and even dangerous information exists on the Internet.The problem is that most people don't know the safe way to surf the Web.“They use a search engine like Google，get 18 trillion choices and start clicking.But that's risky.Because almost anybody can put up a site that looks authoritative(权威的)，it's hard to know whether what you're reading is reasonable or not，” says Dr.Sarah Bass from the National Cancer Institute.60．According to the text，an increasing number of Americans ______.A．are suffering from mental disorders B．turn to Internet for helpC．like to play deadly games with doctors D．are skeptical about surfing medical websites 61．According to the study of Brown Medical School，______.A．more than 6 million Americans distrust doctorsB．only 1/10 of medical websites aim to make a profitC．about 1/10 of the websites surveyed are of high qualityD．72% of health websites offer incomplete and faulty information62．Which of the following is the author's main argument?A．It's cheap to self-treat your own illness.B．It's embarrassing to discuss your bad habits.C．It's reasonable to put up a medical website.D．It's dangerous to be your own doctor.63．According to Dr.Sarah Bass，what is the problem with the people turning to the Internet for medical help?A．They have no idea what search engines are safe.B．They always click too many authoritative sites.C．They are eager to apply what they read on the Net.D．They don't know how to get safe information while surfing the Internet.60．B由全文第一句“Increasingly，Americans are becoming their own doctors，by going online to diagnose their symptoms...”可知答案为B项。

61．C由第二段中的“Of the 169 websites the researchers rated，only 16 scored as ‘high quality’．”可知，169家保健网站，只有16家安全可靠，即占约1/10。

故答案为C项。

62．D文章首先谈到越来越多的美国人生病不再去看医生，而通过上网买药治病，自己当医生；下文又讲到网上的信息并不安全可靠，许多网站存在不完整、不准确，甚至是危险的信息。

故作者认为自己诊治自己的做法是危险的。

63．D由最后一段内容尤其是第一句可知Dr.Sarah Bass认为多数人并不知道如何在网上得到安全可靠的信息。

第三部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)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。

A(2012·河北普通高中教学质检)In an ideal world，people would not test medicines on animals.Such experiments are stressful and sometimes painful for animals，and expensive and time-consuming for people.Yet animal experimentation is still needed to help bridge vast gaps in medical knowledge.That is why there are some 50 to 100 million animals used in research around the world each year.Europe，on the whole，has the world's most restrictive laws on animal experiments.Even so，its scientists use some 12 million animals a year，most of them mice and rats，for medical research.Official statistics show that just 1.1 million animals are used in research in America each year.But that is misleading.The American authorities do not think mice and rats are worth counting and，as these are the most common laboratory animals，the true figure is much higher.Japan and China have even less comprehensive data than America.Now Europe is reforming the rules governing animal experiments by restricting the number of animals used in labs.Alternatives to animal testing，such as using human tissue or computer models，are now strongly recommended.In addition，sharing all research results freely should help to reduce the number of animals for scientific use.At present，scientists often share only the results of successful experiments.If their findings do not fit the hypothesis being tested，the work never sees the light of day.This practice means wasting time，money，and animals' lives in endlessly repeating the failed experiments.Animal experimentation has taught humanity a great deal and saved countless lives.It needs to continue，even if that means animals sometimes suffer.Europe's new measures should eventually both reduce the number of animals used in experiments and improve the way in which scientific research is conducted.56．What is the main idea of this passage?A．The success of animal experiments should be ensured.B．A ban on the use of animals in the lab should be enforced.C．Greater efforts need to be taken to reduce the number of lab animals.D．Scientists should be required to share their research results with each other.57．Which of the following statements is TRUE about animals used in the lab?A．America uses only about 1.1 million lab animals per year.B．Europe does not use mice and rats as lab animals at all.C．Britain does not use as many lab animals as China does.D．Japan has limited data on the number of lab animals used each year.58．Which of the following is mentioned as an alternative to replace animal experiments?A．Statistical studies. B．Computer models.C．DNA planted in animals. D．Tissue from dead animals.59．What usually happens to unsuccessful animal experiments?A．They are not revealed to the public.B．They are made into teaching materials.C．They are collected for future publication.D．They are not removed from the research topic list.56．C文章第一段指出用动物进行试验难以杜绝的原因，第二段提到欧洲对动物试验的法律限制的效果并不理想，第三段讲了欧洲为限制动物试验所作的努力，最后一段提到欧洲的新措施应该既要减少用于试验的动物的数量，又要改善科学研究的方法，所以C项最能概括文章大意。
