语鹅市安置阳光实验学校四川省成都市2016高考英语阅读理解二轮基础训练80集连载（63）【2015高考复习】阅读理解For many people，volunteering is a way of life.Holidays are the time of the year that more people are in a giving mood.Homeless shelters，children’s hospitals，and nursing homes are excellent places to give of one’s time.Volunteering in Homeless SheltersThere is a homeless directory online that anyone can easily access to find the closest homeless shelter to their home.According to the homeless shelter directory，currently there are 3,233 shelters in the US，so it is not difficult to find a shelter.Helping to serve food，picking up donations of food，preparing meals，and cleaning up are things that one can do to help at a homeless shelter.Volunteering in Children’s HospitalsEvery child needs comfort and joy，especially during the holiday seasons.By visiting sick children in hospitals，an individual provides helping hands by supplementing the services usually done by the hospital staff.Personalizing the hospital experience adds to the comfort and happiness of the children and their families.Volunteers provide help，and positive interactions (相互交流) which enhance the patient’s quality of care.Help is needed almost everywhere in a hospital；from the lobby，parking lot，cafeteria，to admitting，helping with the gift cart，and even reading to children in the waiting rooms or their hospital rooms. Volunteering in Nursing HomesAccording to the National Center for Health Statistics，“Over 50% of those living in nursing homes do not have close relatives and 46% have n o living children.” Life in a nursing home is lonely，confusing，and frightening for many residents.Volunteering at a nursing home is a great opportunity to make a difference in someone else’s life.Playing cards，sitting with and talking to a resident，taking a walk，or sharing a meal makes a huge difference，especially when they have no other sole on earth to visit them.The three examples above are only a small fraction of institutions in which volunteers are needed.Giving of oneself，especially during the holidays blesses and cheers others.【语篇解读】本文介绍了人们在假期中可以选择去做志愿活动的三个地方。

【2016高考训练】At one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles an hour. That was the law until 1896. A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man. At night the man had to carry a red lamp.Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England, but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour. In order to have no trouble with the police, he had a talk with some of the police officers, who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road. This was a good plan in the country, but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London.One night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge. One of the men walked in front with the red lamp, but he walked as fast as he could. The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car and not one of them saw it.They reached a hill, but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour! Rolls was getting ready to jump into the car, but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way. The slow car reached him. “Good evening,” said the policeman, looking at the car.“Good evening,” said Rolls, holding the lamp.“One of these horseless things,” said the policeman, looking at it with interest.“Yes,” said Rolls, and waited.“I’ve often wanted a ride in one, but of course policemen can’t buy things like that.” He turned and looked hopefully in Rolls’s face.“Jump in,” said Rolls.“Thanks,” said the policeman, and did so. “Now,” he said, sitting down, “You can let it go just as you like down this hill. There isn’t another policeman on this road for a mile and a half.”1．The po licemen were told “to look the other way” so that _______.A. they could watch the car coming from the other directionB. Rolls’s car could go faster than four miles an hourC. they could make sure no one was in the wayD. the car would not hit them on the road2．In what way did the policemen carry out the order from their officers?A. They greeted Rolls when the car came along.B. They walked in front of the car with a red lamp.C. They pretended to be attracted by something else.D. They stood on duty every 1.5 miles along the road.3．The policeman who said “Good evening” to Rolls wanted to _______.A. teach Rolls a lessonB. take a free ride homeC. have a talk with RollsD. have a car ride experience4．After the policeman jumped into the car, Rolls _______.A. dared not drive the car faster than he was allowed toB. could drive as fast as he wished within a certain distanceC. could drive on any road he liked for the rest of the journeyD. drove his car as fast as he could down the hill to Cambridge参考答案1—4、BCDB阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

四川2016高考英语二轮阅读理解学生版训练（4）【2015高考复习】阅读理解Farming is moving indoors，where the sun never shines，where rainfall is irrelevant and where the climate is always right.The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light，temperature，wetness，air quality and nutrition.It could be in a New York highrise or a sprawling complex in the Saudi desert.It may be an answer to the world's food problems.The world already is having trouble feeding itself.Half the people on Earth live in cities，and nearly half of those－ about 3 billion－are hungry or illfed.Foodprices，currently increasing，are buffeted by dryness，floods and the cost of energy required to plant，harvestand transport.And prices will only get more unstable.Climate change makes longte rm crop planning uncertain.Farmers in many parts of the world already are using water available to the last drop.And the world is getting more crowded：by midcentury，the global population will grow from 6.8 billion to 9 billion.To feed so many people may require expanding farmland at the expense of forests and wilderness，or finding ways to completely increase crop output.Gertjan Meeuws has taken the concept of a greenhouse a step further，growing vegetables and house plants in enclosed (封闭的) and regulated environments.In their research station，water flows into the pans when needed，and the temperature is kept constant.Lights go on and off，creating similar day and night，but according to the rhythm of the plant.A building of 100 square meters and layers (层) of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 grams of fresh fruit and vegetables to the entire population of Den Bosch，about 140,000 people.Their idea isn't to grow foods that require much space，like corn or potatoes.Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful.Plants need only specific wavelengths of light to grow.Their growth rate is three times faster than under greenhouse conditions.They use about 90 percent less water than outdoor agriculture.And city farming means producing food near the consumer，and there's no need to transport it long distances.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。

Few of us have n’t re ad Cinderella, the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in every one’s heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity (默默无闻).Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, Joey Parker, appears. Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable. Mary and Joey’s paths cr oss at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.“The mov ie tak es the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson. “Yet the focus is firmly on following your dream.”1. The first paragraph is mainly to _________.A. inform us of the importance to marry a princeB. remind us why Cinderella is popular all the yearsC. build interest and lead us to Mary’s secret dreamD. tell us how interesting the fairy tale Cinderella is2. In the movie, Mary Santiago is the main character who _________.A. is badly treated by the stepmotherB. is brave in expressing her loveC. has a dream of meeting a princeD. is embarrassed by the pop singer3. What can we infer from the passage?A. Joey is just like other boys in Mary’s class.B. The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary.C. Not many people have a dream to be realized.D. Mary’s mother influences her a lot in singing.4. What does movie critic Amber Wilkinson mean by his words about Another Cinderella Story?A. The movie is exactly another copy of the Cinderella fairytale.B. The movie is as good as the story Cinderella.C. The movie and Cinderella both focus on following your dream.D. The movie is based on the story Cinderella while a little different from it.5. The passage is mainly about _________.A. an introduction to Mary SantiagoB. a review about a filmC. an essay about dreamsD. an advertisement of Cinderella 【参考答案】1—5、CABDB阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Even before my father left us，my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining，“Mom, I can’t peel potatoes。

I have only one hand。

"Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes，" she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!"In the second grade，our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next。

When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed，and I went home crying。

That night I told Mom about it。

She hugged me，and I saw her “we’ll see about tha t” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground，Mom looked carefully at the bars。

“America’s No.1 Health Problem.” So reads the headline of an article published by the American Institute of Stress that claims the biggest threat to health today is neither cancer nor AIDS. Ther eport says: “It has been estimated（估计）that 75 to 90 percent of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress related problems.”It is no exaggeration（夸张）to say that people today are being attacked by stress. According to the National Consumers L eague, “Work is the top source of stress for adults who have problems and stress in their lives (39%), followed by family (30%). Other sources include health (10%), concern about the economy (9%) and concern about international conflict and terrorism (4%).”However, stress is hardly unique to the United States. A British survey in 2005 estimated that “over half a million individuals in Britain believed in 2004 that they were experiencing work-related stress at a level that was making them ill.” As a result of “work-related stress, depression or anxiety,” there are “an estimated thirteen and a half million reported lost working days per year in Britain.”The picture is no less bleak in mainland Europe. According to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, “work-related stress has been shown to affect millions of European workers across all types of employment sectors.” One survey reveale d that there are “about 41 million workers affected by work-related stress each year.”What about Asia? A rep ort issued by a conference held in Tokyo concluded: “Job stress is a common concern among many countries in the world, both developing and industrialized countries.” The report observed that “several countries in East Asia, including China and Korea, have rapidly industrialized and economically grown. These countries now have a lot of concerns on job stress and its harmful effects on workers’ health.”1. The author quoted “America’s No.1 Health Problem.” (Para. 1) in order to ______.A. talk about health problems in AmericaB. introduce the topic of stressC. emphasize the stress in AmericaD. tell readers something about American Institute of Stress答案解析：答案为B。

Expensive perfumes(香水) come in tiny bottles, but many hide a whale-sized secret. To perfect a particular smell, perfume-makers often use an ingredient that comes from sperm whales, called ambergris. But using ambergris, which helps a perfume last longer, is strongly opposed by many people who think it is wrong to kill whales just so we can sweet, Joerg Bohlmann is neither a perfumer nor a whale expert, He's a plant biologist at the University of British Columbia in Canada. But his discovery of a new plant gene(基因) might push whales out of the perfume business.The gene comes from fir trees, found throughout North America and commonly used as Christmas trees. The trees produce a chemical that can be used in perfume in place of ambergris—but with a catch.“There's a problem that many people wouldn't consider. In the tree, the chemical is mixed with many others. That makes separation a challenge,” Bohlmann says.”It's like trying to isolate sugar from a biscuit.”This is where science becomes useful. When Bohlmann learned that fir trees produce the ambergris-like chemical, he decided to use his gene know-how to find the instructions for how to make the ambergris-substitute.Bohlmann found that gene and took it out of the tree cells. Then he did something that might sound strange to someone who doesn't work in genetics: Bohlmann put the gene from the tree into yeast(酵母) cells.Yeast may sound familiar because it's used to make things like bread, wine and beer. Biologists like to work tith yeast because it easily adopts new genes and changes its features and behavior. When Bohlmann put the fir tree into the yeast, the yeast started making the same chemical that had seen produced by the tree.Perfumers pay big money for ambergris because it is a fixative, which means it holds a smell in place on a person's body.“Cheap perfumes smell good in the first hour or so and then everything it gone.” explains Bohlmann. “But expensive perfumes are much more stable. Their smell lastsmuch longer, for hours or even a day after you appl y them.”The new chemical, made from the tree genes, can be used as a fixative, too. And using yeast to make it is far cheaper than acquiring ambergris.Bohlmann admits he never thought he'd get into the perfume business. But now, he says, producers have been calling to find out how to use his technology in mew perfumes.1.It can be inferred from the passage that if a perfume contains ambergris, .A.Its user probably supports whale huntingB.Its smell will last for about an hourC.There will be a whale symbol on hourD.It is probably very expensive2.The underlined expression “with a catch” in Paragrph 3 means .A.Being difficult to holdB. having a hidden problemC. needing further testingD. being too similar3. According to the passage, why are yeast cells often used in genetic research?A. They can take on the characteristics of other genesB. They can reproduce much faster than other cells.C. They share some of the qualities of plant genes.D. They're much cheaper to use than ambergris.4. What can we learn about Joerg Bohlmann from the passage?A. He is opposed to whale hunting.B. He made his discovery during Christmas.C. He has worked in the perfume industry for many years.D. He has previously done genetic esearch.语篇解读本文是一篇科普说明文。

Whenever we turn on the TV or radio，read the newspapers，surf the Internet, we’ll be surrounded by the word "diet” everywhere。

We have so easily been attracted by the promise of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically（心理上地)and physically.It’s obvious that diet products weaken us psychologically. They allow us to jump over the thinking stage that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight，but in controlling the consumption of fat。

All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word "diet” in food labels。

What’s more, diet products have greater psychological effects。

Every time we have a zero—calorie drink, we are telling ourselves that we don’t have to work to get results．Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle。

First lady Michelle Obama turns 50 on Friday, Jan. 17, 2014.Michelle Obama has spent the first half-century of her life breaking barriers and checking off a series of firsts. Now, as she reaches her milestone birthday Friday, the nation will be watching to see in what other areas she will leave her mark. Five years after moving into the White House, and without a re-election campaign to worry about, she has more room to relax in her role and, political watchers say, possibly become more vocal (声音的) on political issues in the three years left in office.So far, critics have complained about Michelle’s silence on issues where they expected to hear her voice: Last year, at the start of her husband's second term, she disappointed advocates for tighter gun-control measures after she failed to push harder on the issue in response to the massacre (残杀) at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. She also disappointed some feminists (女权主义者) who wanted her to defend their causes instead of falling back on her self-described role as the nation’s “mom-in-chief.” Nor did she handle racial issues during her second term, as some had expected.“The most important thing to remember is, whether you are black, white or Hispanic, you’re the first lady and t he president of all the people in the United States. That’s a huge melting pot, so to reinforce (强化)that she's African American over anything else would not be wise,” said Anita McBride, who directs programming and national conferences on the legacies (遗产) of America’s first ladies and their historical influence at American University.Valerie Jarrett, a top White House adviser and a close friend of the Obamas, said the first lady doesn't want to “spread herself too thin.”“She really wants to have a maximum impact and to do that in fewer areas,”Jarrett told the Associated Press. “That, she said, “is better than trying to take on every single possible cause.”But Robert Watson, a Lynn University professor, said he expects Obama to “go a little harder at issues” over the next several years. “Second-term first ladies usually feel more at ease to speak more forcefully about issues close to their heart,” he said.Myra Gutin, a Ryder University communications professor and frequent lectureron first ladies, said she expects Obama to continue making both of them a priorityin her remaining years in the White House, given their success. Michelle launchedthe “Let’s Move” campaign in 2010. It in particular has gained widespread support, ranging from the National Football League to the Sesame Street franchise (特许), which even gave permission to the produce industry to use its licensed charactersfor free on fruits and vegetables.“There’s no such thing as a traditional first lady, not anymore in this technology-filled world. Is Mrs. Obama cutting edge? Is she an activist? No. Asfirst ladies go, I think she’s been politically careful because she does not want there to be a major flare-up that would require her husband to use his political capital to clean up,” she said. “But she’s not exactly just sitting in the White House pouring tea and having receptions, either.”1、Critics were disappointed with Michelle because _______.A．she didn’t put gun-control measures into effectB．she failed some feminists to stand out to be a career womanC．she didn’t solve some racial problemsD．she failed to voice her opinion on some issues2、According to the professors or advisers, which of the following statements is NOT true?A．It’s not wise to reinforce Michelle is African American over anything else.B．It’s better for Michelle to have a maximum impact than to take on every possib le cause.C．It's expected for Michelle to go a little harder at issues.D．It’s a tradition for first ladies to stay out of political issues.3、What does the underlined phrase “spread herself too thin” in Paragraph 6 mean?A．Try to do a lot of work at the same time.B．Get very tired.C．Try to improve physical fitness.D．Move herself away from others.4、In Paragraph 9, the campaign “Let’s Move” might be aiming to help people _______..a. gain widespread supportb. become more physically activec. have access to healthier foodsd. raise awareness about gun controlA．a, c B．a, b C．b, c D．c, d【参考答案】1---4、DDAC阅读理解练习阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Many of us have childhood memories of summer holidays when we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways. Hut holidays are expensive and, for those families on low salaries or living onBenefits，they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet. For working parents, the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed (承诺) to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in safe guiding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays, much of this is missed. In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real"down time" for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning. We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities.However, this mustbe weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.28、 What does the text mainly talk about?A、 The importance of the holiday.B、 The holiday reduction plan.C、 The balance of holidays and school days.D、 The necessity of cutting down the long holiday.29、The underlined word“they” in the second paragraph refers toA. holidays B、families C、salaries D、 benefits30、The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help studentsA、obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costsB、 get a chance to spend 8 weeks a term with teachers in schoolC、 benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environmentD、 have more than 5 weeks of school days to receive free school meals31、It can be inferred from the text thatA、 working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their childrenB、 some school staff may say " No" to the plans for a shorter summer holidayC、 the long summer holiday gives teachers and student s real “down time”D、 the suggested plans for a five term school year can hardly be carried out参考答案28—30、DAC 31、BDThe deadliest Ebola outbreak in history that has so far killed almost 1000 people in Guinea. Liberia. Sierra Leone and Nigeria in West Africa has caused fear around the world. The outbreak is unprecedented ( 空前的) both in infection numbers and in geographic range. Officials froth the World Health Organization (WHO) said earlier this month the outbreak “is moving faster than our efforts to control it”, reported CNN. So far, the battle against the virus doesn't appear to be slowing down. The Ebola virus is terrifying no matter where it strikes：It's a disease with no curethat causes headaches and fever, Scvcrcdiarrhea (腹泻). vomiting and bleeding and has been known to kill up to 90 percent of its victims. It is understandable for people to be panicked. but those living outside Africa shouldn't be particularly concerned about contracting the virus, says a Washington Post article. This is because spread of Ehola requires direct contact with an infected person's blood. vomit or other bodily fluids during the period that he or she is contagious (接触传染的). It is something that is extremely unlikely for anyone but healthcare workers. The virus is not spread by coughing or sneezing. Media in the US and the UK are using terrifying headlines, wrongly saying that people infected (感染) with the virus have traveled to their countries. James Ball at The Guardian says the Ebola outbreak in Africa is terriying. but it is important to keep a sense of proportion, Other infectious diseases, inc ｌuding common flu. are far. far deadlier.32、What does the author say about the Ebola outbreak in Africa?A、 It has caused thousands of African deaths.B、 The fight against it is slowing down.C 、Its spreading speed is beyond peoplt"'s imagination.D、 It has already traveled to the Us and the Uk.33、 The Ebola virus is terrifying becauseA、 it is easily infectedB、 it cannot be cured at the momentC、 it spreads faster than any other infectuous diseaseD、 it has caused more deaths than other infectous diseases34、The underlined phrase in the last paragraph means 。

othershave sold their bodies for sex．Dance classes provide the children with structured learning and self-expression that they've never had before．Rebecca Davis is the founder and director of the dance company．She got the idea for the project after visiting Rwanda in 2008．There she met a large number of street children who were dancing, and she thought that dance could be used to get them off the street and into a safe place．She believes that learning to dance is a step toward education．She says children can take classes in information and technology after they have learned to attend classes and follow directions．Boys who have done best in the classes win scholarships and are sent to the Sunrise Boarding School．About 30 boys have won this kind of financial aid．As for LaMar Baylor, he knows from his own experience how dance can lead to a better life．He is from Camden, New Jersey．Camden has sometimes been called America's poorest and most dangerous city．He now thanks dancing for saving his life．The Rwanda program is the largest one set up by the Rebecca Davis Dance Company, and Ms．Davis has also set up dance programs in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Guinea．About 2,000 children in the three countries have taken part in the project since it was begun in 2010．21．The dance project aims to____．A．give the street children parental careB．provide scholarship for the street childrenC．help the street children receive some educationD．keep the street children in good health22．What do we learn about the street children from the passage?A．All of them can be sent to the Sunrise Boarding School．B．It may be hard for them to adapt to classroom rules at first．C．They only take classes in dancing．D．Many of them have been in prison．23．What LaMar Baylor and the street children in the project have in common is that _．A．they all benefit from dancingB．they borrowed money from the projectC．they learn to express themselves in dance classD．they were homeless at one time24．We can infer from the last paragraph that -．A．the dance project was started in GuineaB．the wanda program is the first program by Rebecca DavisC．the Rwanda program has attracted about 2,000 childrenD．the dance project gains popularity and grows quicklyBOn countless mornings over the past year, I stood with my son, James, in our driveway, watching our neighbor hurry off to kindergarten．My wife and I wanted to give James the best education, but that meant we'd have to change our jobs and spend less time with our kid．I asked myself, "Would this trade-off be worth it?" When I look at the research on child development, I think it might not．Where our kids go to school might matter less than most American parents think．Social scientists have long tried to determine why some children grow up to be successful．In a 2001 study, Greg Duncan, a professor of education at the University of California, measured the influence that the people in a child's life have on how well the child does in school．Duncan and his team found almost no relationship between how students did on the test and whom they sat beside in class, whom they hung out with after school and who lived in their block．The only meaningful link they found was between siblings （兄弟姐妹） and twins in particular．For a long time, scholars thought that a family's income heavily affected how well kids did in life．But that might not be the case．When Susan Mayer at the University of Chicago looked at the relationship between family income and lifetime achievement, she ran a series of experiments to measure it, finding such outcomes weren't caused by income．She argued that the things that make a difference are relatively inexpensive: the number of books a kid has or how often his family goes to museums．Lareau, another scholar began one of the most in-depth observations of Americanparenting．He concluded that success is much more related to the amount of time parents spend with their children．He said "Many parents I interviewed are anxious about their children's futures．But they have exaggerated（夸大） the sense of the risks involved if they don't give their children 'the best' of everything．"So at last, we decided to leave things as it were．More time with our kid is the best we can provide．25．The first paragraph is intended to _．A．introduce the topic of the passageB．confirm the result of a researchC．stress the importance of good educationD．support a research on child development26．From the passage we know that most American parents _．A．spend a lot of time with their childrenB．like to buy a variety of books for their childrenC．think children's achievement largely depends on schoolsD．believe their income cannot afford children's education27．Who believes children's brothers and sisters may influence their academic performance?A．Lareau．B．Greg Duncan．C．Susan Mayer．D．James．28．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A．Parents' time matters to children's future．B．School education determines children's future．C．Family income counts to children's achievements．D．Less education means more risks for children's success．CDining Experiences at Belmond Grand Hotel EuropeDelicious cuisine is paired with excellent musical entertainment at Belmond Grand Hotel Europe．TCHAIKOVSKY NIGHTEvery Friday, dine in Lobby Bar and be treated to a special musical accompaniment．Enjoy timeless classics from the great Russian composer Tchaikovsky, performed by local dancers and achamber orchestra．Time: 7 pm - 10 pmPrice: RUB 2, 000 per adultRUSSIAN AFTERNOON TEATake a seat in the Mezzanine Cafe at a table laid out with Imperial Porcelain china．Feast on Borodinskybread sandwiches with various fillings, hot smoked trout（鳟鱼）, delightful mini pirozhki and sweets suchas vatrushkas, all accompanied by good, strong tea and light music．Available daily 2 pm - 6 pm, priced at 1800 RUB for two．TAITTINGER CHAMPAGNE BRUNCHEnjoy a wide variety of international dishes and unlimited drinks accompanied by live jazz at L'EuropeRestaurant every Sunday．A supervised playroom for children is also available．Time: I pm - 4:30 pmPrice: RUB 4, 900 per adult;

Nowadays some students in middle school date with their classmates．According to a new study from the University of Georgia, those students have much worse study skills and are four times more likely to stop schooling．They use twice as much alcohol and tobacco than their single classmates．"Romantic relationships are a trademark of adolescence, but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships," said Pamela Orpinas, study author and professor in the College of Public Health and Head of the department of Health Promotion and Behaviour．Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grades．Each year, the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviours, including the use of drugs and alcohol．Their teachers completed questionnaires about the students7 academic efforts．He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school, and these students had consistently the best study skills according to their teachers．Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school．"At all points in time, teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and students with highest dating as havingthe worst study skills," according to the journal article．Study skills refer to behaviours that lead to academic success such as doing homework for extra credit, being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters．"Dating a classmate may have the same emotional complications （并发症）of dating a co-worker," Orpinas said．"When the couple break up, they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner （前伴侣）dating someone else．It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and distract （分散注意力）them from studying．""Dating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school," Orpinas concluded．1．We can learn from the passage that students who date in middle school may _____．A．be less likely to use alcohol and tobaccoB．enjoy better school livesC．be more likely to hurt othersD．have poorer academic performances2．During his study, Orpinas _____．A．found study skills have connection with their frequency of datingB．completed questionnaires about the students7 academic effortsC．completed a survey and a report each yearD．followed a group of students of 6th and 12th3．Study skills may include the following behaviors and qualities except _____．A．being kind and helpfulB．being well organizedC．being diligentD．finishing assigned schoolwork4．What can possibly happen to those who date in middle school after they break up?A．They will think it reasonable to get depressed．B．They will miss their ex-partners sometimes．C．Their attention to studying will be affected．D．They don't want to see each other any longer．5．According to the passage, Orpinas holds a（n）_____ attitude towards dating in middle school．A．indifferent B．negative C．positive D．supportive【参考答案】1—5、DAACB由(2011天津十二区县重点学校毕业班联考)改编I can’t

Actually,the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm.People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed，and that we must be able to develop in sustainable(可持续的)ways。

That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products。

In other words，we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today，sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries.According to a recent study，the global market for low.carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade。

China,for example，has set its mind on leading that market，hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy resvolution.It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy，and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and highspeed trains.In addition，we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil(棕榈油)，which is produced without cutting down valuablerainforest。

Spanish explorers called them Las Encantadas, the Enchanted Isles, and Charles Darwin used his studies of the islands as the foundation for his theory of natural selection. The Galapagos are among the world's most important scientific treasures, a group of volcanic islands surrounded by deserted beaches and inhabited by unique varieties of giant tortoise, lizards, and birds.Yet life on this United Nations world heritage site has turned sour. Battles have broken out between fishermen and conservationists. Ecuador, which owns the islands, has sent a naval patrol (海军巡逻队) to put down disturbances.The controversial director of the Galapagos National Park—which controls 97 percent of Galapagos land and the reserve extending to 40 miles offshore—has been fired, while an air of uneasy tension hangs over the islands, as the islanders prepare for election when they pick their representatives in Ecuador’s national assembly.“It’s a very tense situation,” said Leonor Stjepic, director of the London-based Galapagos Conservation Trust, which raises money to help projects on the islands. “We are watching it with concern.”The violence has been triggered by an alarming growth in the islands’population. Puerto Ayora, on Santa Cruz island, housed just 45 inhabitants in the 50s. Today there are more than 10,000, while the islands' total population is more than 19,000 and growing by 6 percent a year, despite recently introduced a law to limit wa ves of immigrants fleeing the poor areas of Ecuador for a life “in paradise (天堂)”. On top of this, more than 100,000 tourists visit the islands every year. Such numbers have put the islands, special ecology under intense pressure. Conservationists backed by the Ecuador government, have replied by exercising strict controls to protect the islands* iguanas, blue-footed boobies, and gianttortoises.These moves have angered many local people, however. They want to exploit (开发利用) the islands’ waters and catc h its protected species of sharks, lobsters and sea cucumbers, which can fetch high prices in Japan and South Korea.Angry fishermen surrounded the Charles Darwin research station on Santa Cruz last February, threatened to kill Lonesome George—the last surviving member of the Pinta Island species of the Galapagos giant tortoise.The situation got improved after the Ecuador government made concessions (让步) by increasing fishing quotas (配额), which angered conservationists. “It is tragic, the short-term gain of a few fishermen versus the long-term survival of the Galapagos,” said John McCosker of the California Academy of Sciences. “They are killing the golden goose.”Then, the Ecuador government appointed Fausto Cepeda as the national park's new director, a post that has become a political football for the mainland government. There have been nine directors in the past 18 months.This appointment was particularly controversial, however. Cepeda was known to have close ties with the fishing industry, and the rangers (管理员),who run the national park and reserve, rebelled.More than 300 staged a sit-in at the park’s headquarters and prevented Cepeda from taking up his post. A battle broke out, and at least two people suffered serious injuries. Eventually, Cepeda—with the fishermen’s help- entered the park. “I am in office, i am in control. And I am trying to lower the tension,” he announced. The Ecuador government took no chances, and sent a patrol boat to maintain the peace.
