高考英语阅读训练题附答案My elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in valuesthat helped me grow into an adult. For instance, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the windowfrom my pocket money if she would return my ball. I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the factthat it had little value. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father carved from a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on my shoulder. Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is themost vivid in my mind. When I was twelve I killed and oldbrown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my auracy, I screamed to Steve to e from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is if it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time. “ I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.1. What is the main subject of the passage?A. The relationship between mark and Steve.B. The important lesson Mark learned in schoolC. Steve’s important role in mark’s growing process.D. Mark and Steve’s respect for living things.2. It can be inferred from the passage that when mark confessed to Mrs. Holt, .A. he felt surprisedB. he was light-heartedC. he felt frightenedD. he knelt before her3. In the story about the pen, which of the following lessons did Steve teach his brother?A. Respect for personal property.B. Respect for life.C. Sympathy for people with problems.D. The value of honesty.4. Aording to the writer, which was the most important lesson Steve taught his young brother?A. Respect for living things.B. Responsibility for one’s actions.C. The value of the honesty.D. Care for the property of others.5. Which of the follow is true aording to the passage?A. Mark was still a boy when he wrote this passage.B. Mark lost the small dog his father carved.C. When a living thing hurts you, you should kill it.D. Even if a living thing hurts you, you should notkill it without hesitation.1-5 CCAAD。

People’s feet always move when they dance. They keep on moving until the music stops.People have enjoyed dancing for a very long time. This story is of a different kind of dance. It is a dance without people or music. Yet this dance is one of the oldest in the world. It is the dance of bees.If you have ever watched bees, you know that they are very clever. They also work hard looking for food and bringing it hack to their home.The home of the bees is called a bee hive(巢). Here hundreds even thousands of bees live. They work day and night building small walls of wax(蜡). Then they make their honey. This is the same honey that we eat.Where does the honey come from? Bees live on food from flowers. Have you seen bees flying around a flower garden? When a bee rests on a flower, it tries to go to the center of it. There it takes the food back to the hive.At the hive, bees change this flower food into honey. Then they fly away for more food.How do the bees know where to find the best food in the sweetest flowers? One bee acts as a guide. When it discovers good flowers, it flies back to the hive and tells the others. It does this by dancing for them.The bee dances on the side. This tells the other bees which way to go to find the flowers. But that is not all. The bee dances for some time. And the length of its dance tells the other bees how far they must fly to reach the flowers.When the bees see the dance, they know where the flowers are. They fly away and return with more food for the hive.Sometimes we hear the music of the bees as they fly around. But few people have ever seen them dance. Yet without that dance we might never have sweet honey to eat.54.

高考英语阅读理解训练题1【future】Scientists around the world have been studying the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean known as El Nino. The appearance of El Nino is known to affect the weather around the world. Scientists still do not completely understand it. Yet they now find they can use it to tell about the future in different areas of the world.One example is the work of two scientists at Columbia University in New York, Mark Cane and Gordon Eshel. A scientist of Zimbabwe, Roger Buckland worked with them. They have found that when El Nino appears, Zimbabwe has little or no rain. This means corn crops in Zimbabwe are poor. The last El Nino was in 1991 to 1993.That was when southeastern Africa suffered a serious lack of rain.The scientists wrote about their recent work in the publication Nature. Their computer program can tell when an El Nino will develop up to a year before it does. They suggest that this could provide an effective early warning system for southern Africa, and could prevent many people from starving.1.El Nino is known as ______ .A.the changing of the weather in southern AfricaB.the warming of waters in the Pacific OceanC.the weather which brings drought(旱灾)to AfricaD.the weather phenomenon(现象)that brings heavy rains to Africa 2.Scientists study El Nino in order that ______ .A.they can provide a kind of early warning to the place that will suffer from droughtB.they can tell why Zimbabwe has little or no rainC.they can do some research work in this field.D.they can put all this information into their computers.3.Which of the following is true according to the article?A.Scientists come to understand how El Nino appears.B.Three scientists from the U.S.A. work on this subject.C.Southern Africa suffered a serious drought and many people died from hunger.D.El Nino has something to do with Zimbabwe's crops.4.Which of the following is not true according to the article?A.The computer is used in this research work.B.Scientists know when an El Nino appears by means of computer program.C.The scientists published their results of the research work.D.Nature is the name of the article written recently by the scientists. 5.Choose the best title for this article.A.Appearance of El Nino Predictable(可预报的)B.Drought in ZimbabweC.Early warning systemD.Weather in Africa 答案：BADDA。

高考英语阅读理解训练附参考答案

高考英语阅读理解训练附参考答案高考英语阅读理解训练1：Life in the ClearTransparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window.These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet—as far as most light can reach.Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch.Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone.They never touch anything unless theyre eating it, or unless something is eating them.”And they are as clear as glass.How does an animal become seethrough? Its trickier than you might think.The objects around you are visible because they interact with light.Light typically travels in a straight line.But some materials slow and scatter(散射)light, bouncing it away from its original path.Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks.Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.But a transparent object doesnt absorb or scatter light, at least not very much. Light can pass through it without bending or stopping.Thatmeans a transparent object doesnt look very different from the surrounding air or water.You dont see it—you see the things behind it.To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light.Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light.But a transparent animal doesnt have pigments, so its tissues wont absorb light.According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy.The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materials—skin, fat, and more —and light moves through each at a different speed.Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters.Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering.Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat.Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be seethrough.Others build a large, clear mass of nonliving jellylike(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it.Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does.They need to look uniform.But how theyre doing it is still unknown.One thing is clear：for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process.When they die, they turn a nontransparent milky white.*大意：你见过透明生物吗?*介绍了透明的海洋生物。

2014高考英语阅读理解精英系列练习题（5）及答案阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)【广东省汕头市第四中学2013阶段性联合考试】A Philip was a nine-year-old boy in a Sunday school class of 8-year-old girls and boys. Sometimes the third graders didn’t welcome Philip into their group and usually tricked him. This was not because he was older, but because he was “different”. You see, Philip suffered from a condition called Downs’s Syndrome. This made him “different”, with his facial characteristics, slow responses and mental problems.One Sunday after Easter, the Sunday school teacher gathered some plastic eggs that pulled apart in the middle. The teacher gave one to each child. On that beautiful spring day, the children were to go out and discover for themselves some symbol of “new life” and place it inside the plastic eggs.After the children returned to the classroom, the teacher opened their eggs one by one, asking each child to explain that symbol of “new life”. The first opened egg contained a flower. Everyone cheered. In another was a butterfly…. When the teacher opened the last egg, it was empty. “That’s stupid,” said someone. The teacher felt a pull at his shirt. It was Philip. Looking up, Philip said, “It’s mine. I did it. It’s empty. I have new life, because the tomb is empty.” Not a sound was hea rd in class at all. From that day on, Philip became a real part of the group. They welcomed him, and whatever made him different was never mentioned again.26.

"I don't think such a business exists yet, but theoretically（理论上）it's very possible. And companies are moving in this direction."So, scientists are now looking for new ways to make fabrics for clothes that are good both for your image and for Earth.In the past few years, textile scientist Yiqi Yang of the University of Nebraska in Lincoln has figured out how to make yarn out of cornhusks, chicken feathers, and rice straw (part of the rice plant). All three are agricultural by-products that usually end up in the trash."We already have a problem with how to get rid of these waste products," Yang says. "Instead, let's use them to make beautiful materials."The process involves chemical reactions that break down the raw materials into fibers（光纤）, followed by cleaning. The scientists then spin the fibers into yarn（纱线）, which they use to make fabrics.⑦Clothes made from farm waste are still years away from hitting the stores, but clothes made from organic or recycled fabrics and products made from coconut, bamboo, and corn sugar are already available in many places.Simply by choosing carefully how you get dressed in the morning, you can help decide Earth's future.1. From what Gordon Rands says, we know his attitude about sustainable business is ______.A. confidentB. disappointedC. angryD. critical2. It is already likely that we can buy products made from ______.A. bamboo, corn and feathersB. chicken feathers and rice strawC. coconut, bamboo, and corn sugarD. cornhusks and rice straw3. A company which is interested in sustainable development will_______.A. provide things that people needB. have no bad effect on earthC. make products at a low costD. make trash into products4. The best title of this passage would be _______.A. Earth Friendly FabricsB. Trash or TreasureC. A New Trend to sustainable developmentD. Change in choosing clothes5. The last paragraph shows that ________.A. we have more chances to choose what we wearB. we should choose earth friendly clothesC. our clothes will be made of more materialsD. we will spend more time deciding what to wear1、选A。

【英语】高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)含解析

【英语】高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解The number of giraffes is becoming smaller across Africa, according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. The total population has dropped by 40 percent in the last 15 years. Surprisingly, even scientists haven't given much attention to giraffes. We are learning more about their ecology, but what we know is still way behind what we know about other species. "It's a silent extinction," said Dr. Julian Hennessy, a wildlife scientist."The main reason for the smaller number of giraffes is their loss of living places," said Hennessy, "as an increasing part of land is used for farming. But hunting also has a big influence." You might wonder why hunters would focus on giraffes. First of all, once a giraffe is brought down, there is lots of meat with a small amount of effort. Besides, there is another thing encouraging the hunting. In Tanzania, Hennessy says, the latest word on the street is that eating giraffe meat could cure AIDS. Fresh giraffe heads and bones can be sold at prices of up to $140 per piece.Another widespread misconception about giraffes is that they are everywhere. Look at kids' books which are full of giraffes. They are always in zoo collections. They can be seen easily, so you don't think we have to worry about them. But the truth is that they are in danger of extinction. There is a lack of right and true data.Hennessy and other researchers are now pulling together the data needed to improve the situation of the entire giraffe species and all nine subspecies (亚种). The information will be used to change the giraffe's listing on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, which now lists the species as of "least concern" but two subspecies as "endangered". "It's a lot of work to gather the necessary information," Hennessy says. "And several other giraffe subspecies will be recommended for endangered listings next year or the year after."

高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案及解析

高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Scientists have been studying how people use money for long. Now they're finding some theories may apply to one group of monkeys.Researchers recently taught six monkeys how to use money. They gave the monkeys small metal disks(圆片) that could be used like cash and showed them some yummy apple pieces. The monkeys soon figured out that if they gave one of the disks to a scientist, they'd receive a piece of apple in return.If you think that is all the monkeys can figure out, you are wrong. Two researchers, Jake and Allison, acted as apple sellers in the experiments. The monkeys were tested one at a time and had 12 disks to spend in each experiment. Jake always showed the monkeys one apple piece, while Allison always showed two pieces. But that's not necessarily what they gave the monkeys. The number of apple pieces given for a disk was determined at random.Experiment One: Allison showed two pieces of apples but gave both pieces only half the time. The other half, she took one piece away and gave the monkey just the remaining piece. Jake, on the other hand, always gave exactly what he showed: one piece for each disk. The monkeys chose to trade more with Allison.Experiment Two: Allison continued to sometimes gave two pieces and sometimes one piece. But now, half the time, Jake gave the one apple piece he was showing, and half the time he added a bonus. Guess what? The monkeys chose to trade more with Jake.In the first experiment, the monkeys correctly figured out that if they traded with Allison, they'd end up with more treats. In the second one, when a monkey received two pieces from Jake, it seemed like again. When Allison gave the monkey only one piece instead of the two she showed, it seemed like a loss. The monkeys preferred trading with Jake because they'd rather take a chance of seeming to win than seeming to lose.We also sometimes make silly business decisions just to avoid the feeling that we're getting less, even when were not. Would you have made the same choices?（1）What conclusion might experts draw from the first experiment?A. The monkeys show certain business sense.B. Business theories can apply to all monkeys.C. People are smarter in terms of finance.D. It's easy to teach monkeys how to trade.（2）What does a bonus in paragraph 5 refer to?A. A metal disk.B. An apple piece.C. A chance.D. A coin.（3）Why did the monkeys choose to trade more with Jake in the second experiment?A. Because Jake always gave them two apple pieces.B. Because the apple pieces from Jake were yummy.C. Because they didn't like the feeling of losing.D. Because they get more apple pieces from Jake.（4）What could be the best title for the passage?A. People's Business Decision: Lose or Gain?B. Moneky's Business Sense: Smart or Silly?C. Shopping for Bargain: Same or different?D. Disk for Apple: Who to Trade with?【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，科学家们通过实验来说明，“猴子的商业意识：聪明还是愚蠢？”(1)考查推理判断。

高考英语阅读理解练习附参考答案

高考英语阅读理解练习附参考答案高考英语阅读理解练习1：Imagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678 000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big.All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It weighs about 3 500 000 tons. The waste includes bags，bottles and containers—plastic products of all kinds.The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about l 600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert，with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world collects there.In recent years，there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste，resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full，lessening their desire to eat or drink.The floating garbage also can have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste，and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.Its existence first gained public attention in l997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier，another oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.In August，2009，a team from the University of California，San Diego became thelatest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patchs effect on ocean environment.51.How did the writer introduce the topic of the passage?A. By giving an example.B. By listing the facts.C. By telling a story.D. By giving a comparison.52.What do we know about the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A. It is made up of various kinds of plastic products.B. It is a solid mass of floating waste materials.C. It lies l60 000 kilometers east of California.D. It is described as a kind of oceanic desert.53.Why do people pay attention to the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A. Because it may prevent the flow of ocean water.B. Because the polluted plastic articles will move up the food chain.C. Because it may be from an island in the pacific.D. Because ships may be trapped in the floating waste.54.Which column can you find the passage on a newspaper?A. Sports and entertainment.B. Media and culture.C. Environment and society.D. Science and technology.55.The purpose of writing this passage is to____________.A. warn people of the danger to travel in the pacificB. analyze what caused the waste patch in the pacificC. give advice on how to recycle waste in the oceanD. introduce the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch参考答案：51.D。

2014高考英语阅读理解精英练习题（10）及答案阅读理解（共25小题。

第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）第一节阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项（A、Ｂ、Ｃ和Ｄ）中，选出最佳选项，并在答案填在答题卡上。

APeople in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the t hird Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A. red one stands for a living mother. A. white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services（宗教仪式）to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves. On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. They often have outdoor BBQs for Fath er’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of th e gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.1. Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A. Parents bring childrenB. Parents give love and care to childrenC. Parents educate children to be good persons.D. Parents pass away before children grow up2. What do you know from the passage?A. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day ar e both in May.B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the pastC. Not all the children respect their parentsD. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home3. Which do you think is right about “carnation”?A. It only has two kinds of color.B. It is a special kind of clothes people wear on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.C. It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.4. What do you think “florists” do?A. They sell flowersB. They made bread or pastryC. They offer enough room for having family parties.D. They sell special clothes for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.1— 4、 DBCALEEDS, England—A Leeds University psychology professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies."The hate we hold within us is a cancer, " Professor Ken Hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.More than 70 people have become members in Hart's first 20-week workshop in London—a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian- born Hart.The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight.The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. "People have lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness," he said, "People confuse forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one."Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed."The main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with," said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people "want to get free of the past".36. From this passage we know that________.A. high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hateB. high blood pressure can only be cured by psychology professorsC. without hate, people will have less trouble connected with blood and heartD. people who suffer from blood pressure and heart disease must have many enemies【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。

高考英语阅读理解精英系列练习题(3)及答案

2014高考英语阅读理解精英系列练习题（3）及答案阅读理解(共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分)【广东省汕尾市梅陇中学】AWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note----“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”----and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I rememb er Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, I saw an old milk box in the countryside. I took it home and planted it on the back porch （门廊）. Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.26. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer_________.A. to show his magical powerB. to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosityD. to please his mother27. What does “this” in the third paragraph refer to? ___________.A. The milkman’s magic powerB. The milkman’s kindness to meC. The note to change an orderD. The home delivery service28. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?__________.A. He wanted to have tea there.B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member.D. He was fully trusted by the family.29. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist? ___________.A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is forbidden by law.30. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box? ___________.A. He missed the good old days.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He missed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.【参考答案】26-30 C D D B A阅读理解DCanadian scientists have found that the more emotional or mental challenges a person faces in a day, the less determined they become to work out physically.However, the findings should not stop us from keeping fit. Experts believe that willpower (意志力)is like a muscle, and needs to be exercised to help one avoid the temptation (诱惑)spending a night on the couch instead.Kathleen Martin --Ginis, a professor of kinesiology---the science of movement 一who led the study, says everyone has a limited amount of willpower, and that it will be reduced by stress. Miss Martin --Ginis, of Canada' s McMaster University, explains, "Cognitive (认知的)tasks, as well as tasks such as regulating (调整)one' s emotions, can reduce one' s capacity to force oneself to exercise."Her team of scientists performed a so-- called " Stroop" test on volunteers to reach their conclusions. The experiment involved showing participants words associated with colors but printed in different colors, for example, the word " blue " written in red ink . Participants were divided into two groups. One group was asked to name the color of the ink, instead to say the printed word, while the other wasn't Martin ― Ginis says," After we used this cognitive task to use up their self--regulatory capacity, the participants didn't exercise as hard as those who had not performed the task.The more people concentrated on the cognitive task, the more likely they were to skip exercise sessions (活动时间)over the next eight weeks. You only have so much willpower .However, there are ways to strengthen willpower. The study found the listening to music before going to the gym can help, as well as making a commitment to work out with friends. It also concluded that willpower can be stretched by constantly taking, or forcing oneself to study an extra hour each night.Martin - Ginis adds, "There are strategies people can use to help revitalize (使恢复活动) them selves after they’ve used up their self-regulation. Willpower is like a muscle: it needs to be used to stay strong.13.According to the experts, human willpower ____________. .A. can be exercised through muscle movementB. can regulate itself to resist temptationsC. is weakened by stressful cognitive or emotional tasksD. is reduced by lack of physical exercise.14.We learn from Paragraph 4 that the experiment__________..A. made use of the Stroop testB. asked one group of participants to name the wordsC. required researchers to write the word "blue" in red ink to make it easilyrecognizable.D. showed that those who hadn't performed the task were smarter than those whohad15.Which of the following is in agreement with Miss Martin ― Ginis' idea?A. Human's willpower is limited to a certain levelB. The cognitive tasks could make people ignore exerciseC. Challenging tasks could make people ignore exerciseD. Exercise is an important way to strengthen one's willpower.16.What can we infer from the passage?A. Willpower can be challenged to become powerful.B. McMaster University is famous for its kinesiology.C. Effective ways to resist temptations have been found.D. the study has an impact on the science of movement.参考答案13-16 CAAA阅读理解BIn bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition of each new skill —the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may beespecially strict in money matters, others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教),their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.46. Eagerly watching the child's acquisition of new skills .A. should be avoidedB. is universal among parentsC. sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD. will make him lose interest in learning new things47. In the process of children's learning new skills parents .A. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB. should not expect too much of themC. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD. should create as many learning opportunities as possible48. The second paragraph mainly tells us that .A. parents should be strict with their childrenB. parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityC. parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children aloneD. parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation.49. The underlined word“precept”in Para.3 probably means“”A. ideaB. punishmentC. behaviourD. instruction50. In moral matters, parents should .A. observe the rules themselvesB. be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC. forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD. consistently ensure the security of their children参考答案46-50 B CC D AA good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features (特写) as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art ,theatre, and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality (时事性),its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暂的) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together, out of the pages of that day's paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.51. A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its .A. wide coverageB. uniform styleC. speed in reporting newsD. popularity52. According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the“same”newspaper is that .A. people scan for the news they are interested inB. different people prefer different newspapersC. people are rarely interested in the same kind of newsD. people have different views about what a good newspaper is53. It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers .A. apply reading techniques skillfullyB. jump from one newspaper to anotherC. appreciate the variety of a newspaperD. usually read a newspaper selectively54. A good newspaper offers“a variety”to readers because .A. it tries to serve different readersB. it has to cover things that happen in a certain localityC. readers are difficult to pleaseD. readers like to read different newspaper.55. The best title for this passage would be“”A. The importance of Newspaper TopicalityB. The Characteristics of a Good NewspaperC. The Variety of a Good NewspaperD. Some Suggestions on How to Read a Newspaper参考答案51-55 B A D A B【广东省汕尾市梅陇中学】BMany years ago my student asked me the question, "Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?" Without taking time to reflect, I answered, "Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone's life." Even though I was sincere, that wasn't a very good answer and my student didn't let it slide."Let me get this straight," he said, "You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?" He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I'mone of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:It's in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled (逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You can't have ripples without a "stone." Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that's what I try to do.I genuinely love teenagers. I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If they'll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too.Teaching isn't for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.31. Why did the student continue to ask the question abo ut the writer’s being a teacher?__________.A. Because he thought her answer was unbelievable.B. Because the writer was insincere.C. Because the student was naughty.D. Because the answer was difficult to understand.32. What do you think of the writer? _________.A. Stupid.B. Honest.C. Conservative.D. Polite.33. According to the text, which of the following is NOT true? __________.A. The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her.B. The writer’s answer made the student confused.C. In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach.D. The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.34. We can infer from the text that _________.A. the writer was also a good teacher in schoolB. the writer often plays with her students beside a pondC. the writer devotes herself to teaching and her studentsD. the writer often accompanies the students on their way home35. What’s the main idea of the text? _________.A. A student’s silly ques tion.B. A good teacher who likes students.C. A confused student.D. The reason why I teach.【参考答案】31-35 ABDCD。

2021高考英语阅读理解精英训练极品题(7)

最新高考英语阅读理解精英训练极品题（7）及答案阅读理解------CEngineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality (理性)，but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any reasonable student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, many famous professors and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that's not what I did.I chose to study engineering in a small liberal-arts (文科）university that doesn't even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my job. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by communicating with people who weren't studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a wise choice. They told me I was wise and grown-up beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.I headed off to the college and sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering "factories" where they didn't care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical expert and excellent humanist all in one.and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don't mix as easily as I supposed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways. The struggleto reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.文章大意：本文作者以自身的经历说明很难做到文理兼顾，共同发展。

Thats our duck!"The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The WiseLittle Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Laterthat year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience likedhim because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper(发脾气) veryquickly . And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickeys eight nephews(侄子).Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasnt agoody-goody like Mickey.In the 1930S, 40s and 50s Donald and hid friends Mickey , Goofy and Pluto made hundreds ofDisney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, andsafety in the home.
