高一英语百日训练之阅读理解（89）含答案详解【题文】Earthworms (蚯蚓) often lay on sidewalks or streets after a heavy spring rain, but why do they do this? Researchers give several reasons why heavy rain storms bring earthworms out of their soil homes.For years scientists seemed to think the only reason earthworms came to the soil surface after a good rain was to prevent drowning in their water-filled homes. “This is not true as earthworms breathe through their skins and actually require wet in the soil to do so,” said Dr. Chris Lowe, lecturer in the University of Central Lancashire in Preston, United Kingdom. Earthworms are unable to drown, and they can even survive several days fully in water.Soil experts now think earthworms surface during rain storms for the purpose of moving to another place. “It gives them a chance to move greater distances across the soil surface than through soil,” said Dr. Lowe. “They cannot do this when it is dry because of their requirements of wet in the air. "Certain earthworms surface to mate (交配), but only a few of the 4, 400 existing types, making it unlikely that mating is a primary reason for widespread surfacing.Another explanation is that rain drop vibrations (振动) on the soil surface are similar to mole (鼹鼠) vibrations. Earthworms often come to the surface to escape them. “Rain can set up vibrations on top of the soil like mole vibrations,” said Professor Josef Gorres of the University of Vermont’s Department of Plant and Soil Science. “Similar to how earthworms move upwards when mole vibrations are felt.” Similarly, humans create vibrations when catching earthworms. To cheat earthworms out of their homes, fishermen run a piece of steel or a saw across the top of a stick, which causes a sound as the stick vibrates. Earthworms then move to the sur face, much to the fishermen’s delight.8. What do we know about earthworms from Paragraph 2?A. They will drown in water.B. They can’t breathe in the rain.C. They breathe through skins.D. They can always live in water.9. Why do earthworms surface when it rains according to Dr. Lowe?A. Because they want to travel longer.B. Because there is more water inside.C. Because there are more suitable mates.D. Because there are fewer dangers on the ground10. Why does the author mention the fishermen in the last paragraph?A. To show that they treat earthworms badly.B. To provide evidence of earthworms escaping.C. To explain why we seldom see earthworms now.D. To show how people's behavior affects earthworms.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Why earthworms surface after rain.B. All knowledge about earthworms.C. How earthworms help people.D. Why people love earthworms.【答案】8.

高考英语百日训练之阅读理解（49）含答案解析【题文】Sleep repairs the body and the mind and helps prevent disease by strengthening the immune system. However, many adults do not get eight hours of sleep each night. The average adult today gets only 6.4 hours of sleep. Only in recent years have health professionals begun to realize the seriousness of sleep deprivation in the working population. A significant number of people work at night, work long hours, or suffer from sleeplessness or jet lag.Studies show that the brain is negatively affected by sleep deprivation because certain patterns of electrical and chemical activity that occur during sleep are interrupted and the brain cannot function normally. In one study,thirteen healthy adult subjects(实验对象) who usually had normal sleep patterns were kept awake and carefully monitored in a lab during a period of 35 hours. During the experiment, the subjects were asked to perform several tasks, such as mathematics and word problems, while undergoing scans of their brain activity. The researchers found that the temporal lobe (颞叶) of the brain, the region involved in language processing, was active during speech tasks in rested subjects but not in subjects who lacked enough sleep. After several hours without sleep, there was no activity within this region.Several studies show that getting fewer than six hours of sleep can damage short-term memory and reaction time—thus causing a serious risk of accident. In one study of drivers, researchers reported that sleep deprivation had the same effects as being drunk. They found that people who drove after being awake for 17 hours performed worse than those with a blood alcohol level of 0.5 percent, the legal limit for drunk driving in most western European countries. The researchers concluded that countries with drunk driving laws should consider similar restrictions against sleep-deprived driving.4. The underlined word "deprivation" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to_______.A. weaknessB. lossC. discomfortD. pain5. The passage mentions all of the following as causes of sleep deprivation EXCEPT______.A. jet lagB. long work hoursC. boring workD. working at night6. The purpose of the study described in Paragraph 2 was to determine_________.A. how many hours people can survive without sleepB. how people react when their sleep is interruptedC. the changes in brain activity that occurs during sleepD. the effects of sleep deprivation on brain activity7. Why does the author mention blood alcohol level in Paragraph 3?A. To show how sleep deprivation reduces the blood alcohol level.B. To show that sleep deprivation has the same dangerous effects as being drunk.C. To suggest that sleep-deprived drivers are also likely to drink.D. To argue against raising the legal limit for drunk driving.【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B【解析】本文介绍缺少睡眠给人带来的影响。

高一英语百日训练之阅读理解（99）含答案详解【题文】The national movement to get rid of plastic bags is gaining steam — with more than 240 cities and counties passing laws that ban or tax them since 2007 in the US. But these bans may be hurting the environment more than helping it.University of Sydney economist Rebecca Taylor and colleagues compared bag use in cities with bans with those without them. For six months, they spent weekends in grocery stores recording the types of bags people carried out.Taylor found these bag bans did what they were supposed to: People in the cities with the bans used fewer plastic bags, which led to about 40 million fewer pounds of plastic garbage per year. But people who used to reuse their shopping bags for other purposes, like picking up dog waste, still needed bags. "What I found was that sales of garbage bags actually grew sharply after plastic grocery bags were banned," she says.Garbage bags are thick and use more plastic than typical shopping bags. "So about 30 percent of the plastic that was reduced by the ban comes back in the form of thicker garbage bags," Taylor says. On top of that, cities that banned plastic bags saw a surge in the use of paper bags, which she estimates（估计）resulted in about 80 million pounds of extra paper garbage per year.A bunch of studies find that paper bags are actually worse for the environment. They require cutting down and processing trees, which involves lots of water, toxic chemicals and fuel. While paper is biodegradable(可生物降解的) and avoids some of the problems of plastic, Taylor says, the huge increase of paper means banning plastic shopping bags increases greenhouse gas emissions(排放).The Danish government recently did a study that took into account environmental impacts（影响）beyond simply greenhouse gas emissions, including water use, damage to ecosystems and air pollution. These factors make cloth bags even worse. They estimate you would have to use an organic cotton bag 20,000 times more than a plastic grocery bag to make using it better for the environment.8. What is main idea of the passage?A. Banning plastic bags is gaining popularity worldwide.B. Banning plastic has great influence on people’s life.C. Banning plastic increases the use of pager and cloth bags.D. Banning plastic may harm rather than help the environment.9. What is the result of banning grocery plastic bags?A. Plastic bags are no longer needed.B. People began to reuse their plastic bags.C. The amount of garbage is even greater.D. Most of the reduced plastic returns in garbage bags.10. Why are paper and cloth bags worse for the environment?A. They are not as biodegradable as plastic bags.B. It hurts the environment more to make them.C. They can’t be reused as many times as plastic bags.D. They are much thicker than plastic bags.11. What does the underlined word in the fourth paragraph mean?A. Sharp increase.B. Fast development.C. Tight control.D. Sharp decrease.【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文。

高一英语百日训练之 阅读理解(4)含答案详解
高一英语百日训练之阅读理解（4）含答案详解【题文】The next time you attend a social function or go to a place where people meet and interact, take note of the number of people who have adopted the same gestures and posture---the way you sit or stand--of the person with whom they are talking. This “carbon copying” is a means by which one person tells the other that he is in agreement with his ideas and attitudes. By this method, one is non-verbally (非语言的) saying to the other, “As you can see, I think the same as you, so I will c opy your posture and gesture.”This unconscious (无意识地) mimicry is quite interesting to observe. Take, for example, the two men standing at the hotel bar. They have mirrored each other’s gestures and it is reasonable to assume that they are discussing a top ic upon which they have the same thoughts and feelings. If one man uncrosses his arms and legs or stands on the other foot, the other will follow. If one puts his hand in his pocket the other will copy and this mimicry will continue for as long as the two men are in agreement.This copying also occurs among good friends or people of the same social position and it is common to see married couples walk, stand, sit and move in very similar ways. People who are strangers, however, try hard to avoid holding mutual(相互的) positions. The significance of carbon copying can be one of the most important non-verbal lessons we can learn, for this is one way that others tell us that they agree with us or like us. It is also a way for us to tell others that we like them, by simply copying their gestures.If an employer wishes to develop immediate friendliness and create a relaxing atmosphere with an employee, he needs to copy the employee’s posture to achieve the end. Similarly, an up-and-coming employee may be seen copying his boss’s gestures in an attempt to show agreement. Using the knowledge, it is possible to influence a face-to-face encounter by copying the positive gestures and postures of the other person. This has the effect of putting the other person in a receptive and relaxed frame of mind and he can “see” that you understand his point of view.38. What is the best title for the passage?A. Carbon Copying---Showing AgreementB. Developing Non-verbal CommunicationC. How to avoid Carbon CopyingD. Proper Social Behavior39. What is "carbon copying" according to the passage?A. To adopt identical gesture of others.B. To repeat what others have said.C. To show agreement with others.D. To mock others.40. In which of the following groups is carbon copying NOT frequently seen?A. Married couplesB. People not familiar with each other.C. Good friends.D. People of the same social position.41. What should an employer do to created a relaxing atmosphere for an employee?A. Be polite.B. Avoid copying the employee’s ges ture.C. Be helpful.D. Copy the gesture of the employee.【答案】38. A 39. A 40.

高一英语百日训练之阅读理解（46）含答案详解【题文】A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep.But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovere d that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows’ milk harvested at different times has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.9.

高考英语百日训练之阅读理解（48）含答案解析【题文】Americans are worried about new technology. They are concerned that machines. Including robots, will take over work now done by humans. These findings come from a new report by the Pew Research Center of Washington DC.About 75 percent of Americans questioned by Pew said automation will increase income inequality between the rich and the middle class and the poor. And 64 percent of people expect automation to be so common in America that people will face difficulty finding things to do with their lives.Some of the concerns about technology come from a distrust about whether machines will always make the right decision. Many Americans believe humans have better judgment in dealing with complex matters. One example is selecting a person for a job. Three quarters of Americans said they would not want to apply for a job that uses a computer program to choose the most qualified person.Most Americans want the government to limit automation, For example, 87 percent support a requirement that all driverless vehicles have a human in the driver s scat who can take control when needed. And 85 percent want to limit machines to mostly doing jobs that are dangerous or unhealthy for humans. And only 25 percent expect more jobs to come from automation. Pew said,Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Facebook, spoke last May to graduating seniors from Harvard University in Massachusetts, His talk centered on the uncertain future facing young people. “Our generation will have to deal with tens of millions of jobs replaced by automation like self-driving cars and trucks,” Zuckerberg told the graduates, Zuckerberg said young people will have to find projects that will bring both jobs and direct benefits to the people of the world.

高一英语百日训练之阅读理解（54）含答案详解【题文】Recently, American President Trump announced his budget. One of the budgets would cut all funding to the Institute of Museum and Library services and libraries across the United States. However, as far as I'm concerned, we need to save our libraries.Libraries provide books and after-school programs for children. They encourage literacy (识字）with summer programs. They help inspire a life-time love of learning and reading in children of all ages. Without them, where will kids with no Internet at home do their homework? Where will kids have a place to study or borrow books after school? Therefore, we need libraries for our kids. We need them so that kids can grow up with a place, other than school , where learning and exploration is encouraged. For adults, libraries serve as a place where they can use the Internet to apply for jobs, get job training, early voting centers as well as book clubs to help make new friends. It can also serve as a place to pick up a book and learn somethin g new. What’s more，they can also borrow a book and get away from it all.Libraries save our information for the next generation. When we live in an age of alternative (选择性的）facts, where science is ignored in favor of personal feelings, we need libraries now more than ever. We need them to educate ourselves on the facts and hold the government responsible for them. We need them to have strong public participation(参与).If you agree with me，you shouldn’t be silent on this issue. You can write or call directly to tell the president to save our libraries. You can also write to both your state Senators (参议员）and your district representative. If you do not know who they are, you can find out here. Let them know this is a beneficial issue because all people use public libraries in their daily life.8. The author thinks that Trump’s decision about his budget is___________.A. difficultB. practicalC. personalD. wrong9.

高一英语百日训练之 阅读理解(58)含答案详解
高一英语百日训练之阅读理解（58）含答案详解【题文】Every spring flowers suddenly come out everywhere on the same day, as if they had an agreement with one another. But how exactly do plants “know” when to flower?It’s a question puzzling biologists for years. But according to Science Daily, a US research group may have finally answered it—the secret lies in a protein called FKF1. This allows plants to sense the differences in day lengths so that they can tell the seasons are changing.Researchers found the protein when they wer e studying a plant called Arabidopsis. They found it’s a photoreceptor (感光器). This means it’ s sensitive to, and can be activated (激活) by sunlight.Plants produce the protein every day in the late afternoon throughout the year. If there’s no light at this time, for example, in winter when the sun goes down early, it may not be activated. But when spring comes and the days get longer, it can be activated by daylight and the plants “know” it’s time to flower.Although researchers have only studied how the FKFI protein works in the Arabidopsis, they believe that the process is similar in many other more complex (复杂) plants, including crops like rice and wheat. This could be useful to the agricultural industry.“If we can control the timing of flowering, we migh t be able to produce more crops by putting it forward or putting it off,” a leader of the study said. “Also, if we could control the timing of flowering in horticultural (园艺的) plants, they may be worth more money.”What an amazing thing to think about this!5. How do plants know when to flower?A. They get messages from some insects.B. They receive messages from other plants.C. A certain protein tells them the time to flower.D. Sunlight produces a protein in them to help them flower.6. What can we learn from the article?A. The study may benefit agricultural industry.B. We may have plants that flower all year round.C. Plants don’t flower in cold weather and short days.D. Researchers found the protein by studying rice and wheat.7. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the study?A. Negative.B. Positive.C. Uncaring.D.

高一英语百日训练之阅读理解（60）含答案详解【题文】You might not regard England, which is famous for its almost year round rain, as a place with a water shortage problem. However, James Bevan, head of the UK Environment Agency, warned at a recent conference that England will lack water within 25 years.A major reason for the shortage is climate change. As recently as 2017, Britain saw its driest 10-month period in over 100 years. In 2018, below-average rainfall caused many reservoirs (水库) to run dangerously low. It’s predicted that, by 2040, over half of UK summers will be hotter than the summer of 2003, and water supply from rivers could fall by between 50-80 percent, according to CNN. In 2003, the UK experienced one of the most significant heat waves in recorded history.Another major reason is that the British waste too much water in daily life. On average each person uses about 140 liters of water per day through a combination of showers, washing machines and garden hoses, according to the BBC. Bevan said people should try to save water and that they could cut their daily water use from 140 to 100 liters. “There re simple steps we can take Get a low flush toilet, Take short showers” he said during the conference.While England may not be the only place facing a water shortage, some other areas have taken measures to avoid one. Israel, for example, recycles waste water, which makes up 40% of the country’s agricultural water.Wherever you’re in the world, water is precious. Our world is 70% covered by water, but only 2.5% of it i s fresh, and only 1% is easily accessible. So let’s try to save the water we’re lucky enough to have and not be wasteful.8. What can be the best main idea of the passage?A. English people are wasting too much water.B. England may run short of water in the near future.C. Climate change causes water shortage in England.D. English people should solve the problem with water shortage. 9. What’s the purpose of writing the passage?A. To call on people to save water together. B. To educate people about the importance of water. C. To inform people of the water problem in England. D. To introduce ways to solve the water shortage problem. 10. Where can you probably find the article? A. In a textbook. B. In a research report. C. In a travel journal. D. In a newspaper. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了英格兰将在不久的将来缺水。

高一英语百日训练之阅读理解（49）含答案详解
【题文】
Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random (随机地) from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.
17. Which of these sentences best describes the writer's point in Para. 1?
A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.
B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.
C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.
D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.
18. It is suggested in this passage that _________.A. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence B. close relations usually have similar intelligence C. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence
D. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence
19. In Para. 1, the word "surroundings" means ________.
A. intelligence
B. life
C. environments
D. housing
20. The best title for this article would be________.
A. On Intelligence
B. What Intelligence Means
C. We are Born with Intelligence
D. Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence
【答案】17. D 18. B 19. C 20. A

主要讲述了尽管一个人的智慧的限制是固定在出生时，关系越近的人，智力就越相似．但是他是否达到这些限制将取决于他的环境，彼此密切联系但根本没有关系的人可能具有相似的智力。
【17题详解】
推理判断题。

故关系越近的人，智力就越相似。
故选B。
【19题详解】
词义猜测题。
根据上文On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied可知另一方面，在烦闷环境中成长的孩子智力发展得不如在丰富多彩的环境中成长的孩子好。
故surroundings意思为“环境”，故选C项。
