高考英语一轮复习 Unit4 Earthquakes阅读理解全方位训练11

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校高考英语一轮复习全方位配套训练人教版必修一Unit 4 Earthquakes阅读理解1第Ⅰ组AEveryone has heard of the San Andreas fault （断层），which constantly threatens California and the West Coast with earthquakes.But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri? Between December of 1811 and February of 1812，three major earthquakes occurred，all centered around the town of New Madrid，Missouri，on the Mississippi River.Property damage was severe.Buildings in the area were almost destroyed.Whole forests fell at once，and huge cracks opened in the ground，releasing some strong smell chemicals.The Mississippi River itself completely changed character，developing sudden rapids and whirlpools（激流和漩涡）.Several times it changed its course，and once，according to some observers，it actually appeared to run backwards.Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes，probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811；but the severity of the earthquakes was shown by the fact that the shock waves rang bells in church towers in Charleston，South Carolina，on the coast.Buildings shook in New York City，and clocks were stopped in Washington，D.C.Scientists now know that America’s two major faults are essentially different.The San Andreas is a horizontal （水平的） boundary between two major land masses that are slowly moving in oppositedirections.California earthquakes result when the two masses make a sudden move.The New Madrid fault，on the other hand，is a vertical fault；at some point，possibly hundreds of millions of years ago，rock was pushed up toward the surface，probably by volcanoes under the surface.Suddenly，the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed，leaving huge cracks.Even now，the rock continues to settle downwards，and sudden sinking motions cause earthquakes in the region.The fault itself，a large crack in this layer of rock，with dozens of other cracks that split off from it，extends from northeast Arkansas through Missouri and into southern Illinois. Scientists who have studied the New Madrid fault say there have been numerous smaller quakes in the area since 1811；these smaller quakes indicate that larger ones are probably coming，but the scientists say they have no method of predicting when a large earthquake will occur.1.This passage is mainly about .A.the New Madrid faultB.the San AndreasC.the causes of faultsD.current scientific knowledge about faults2.Which of the following pictures best describes the type of the NewMadrid fault?3.This passage implies that .A.horizontal faults are more dangerous than vertical faultsB.vertical faults are more dangerous than horizontal faultsC.a lot of people would die if the 1811 New Madrid earthquakes happened todayD.the volcanoes that caused the New Madrid fault are still alive【语篇解读】本文通过历史回顾和科学分析，提醒人们多关注New Madrid地区频繁的地震。

课后阅读训练十一Unit 3 Period 3. 阅读理解In the Netherlands, cycling isn 't seen as an eco-friendly exercise; it 'spart of everyday life, as it 's people 's top choice to school and work. “There are morebicycles than residents in the Netherlands. In cities like Amsterdam and The Hague, up to 70 percent of all journeys are made by bike, ”said BBC.So how did cycling become such a popular means of transportation in the European country?In the 1970s, the Dutch government began to improve its cycling infrastructure（基础设施）due to both a social movement demanding safer cycling condition for children and the oil crisis in the Middle East, when oil producing countries stopped their exports to Western Europe.To make cycling safer and more appealing, the Dutch have built the widest cycling network in the world. The country has over 40, 000 kilometers of bicycle lanes and paths, which are clearly marked. They have smooth surfaces, separate signs and lights for those on two wheels. The lanes are wide enough to allow side-by-side cycling and passing.In many cities the bike lanes are completely segregated（隔离的）from motorized traffic. And in many traffic situationscyclists are given priority（优先权）over drivers. Sometimes, where space is limited and both must share, you can see signs showing an image of acyclist with a car behind accompanied by the words “Bike Street: Cars are guests ”.As young people aren 't allowed to drive alone until they are 18, cycling offers Dutch teenagers an alternative form of freedom. The government also makes cycling training lessons a compulsory part of the Dutch school curriculum（课程）.Bike parking facilities are everywhere in the country. Cyclists are accommodated in the way motorists are elsewhere. Take Groningen, a city in the northeastern part of the Netherlands, for example. The city 's central train station has underground parking for 10, 000 bikes.For many Dutch people, bikes are trusty friends for life 's adventures. In that kind of relationship it is longevity（长寿）that matters —that 's why many Dutch people ride older bikes. 【语篇概述】本文主要介绍了荷兰这个国家的人骑自行车现象。

【高考复习】高考英语阅读理解练习题11

【高考复习】高考英语阅读理解练习题11It is common to have difficulties sleeping during the day. Humans are naturally wired to sleep best at night and be awake during the day. However, modern work schedules require some people to try to accommodate the unnatural schedule of shift(轮班)work ― being awake at night and sleeping during the day.In order to make this adjustment, you need to pay special attention toyour sleep environment and your preparation for sleep. If shift work is a necessary part of your work life, here are some suggestions that may help.Arrange to sleep uninterrupted in a quiet, dark room. This means you may have to turn off or unplug your phone, hang darkening curtains on the windowsor wear a sleep eye mask, and train your family and friends to leave you alone while you sleep.Fit in a nap(小睡). When your daytime sleep period is too short, taking a short nap of less than 30 minutes just before work or on a break has been shown to improve alertness and enhance performance.Develop and follow a sleep routine. It's best if you go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. Try not to vary this too much on weekends. Your body likes routine.Take extra care to make healthy choices. You may be tempted to reach for unhealthy foods or nicotine to stay awake or alcohol to try to sleep. But ultimately these choices are more harmful than helpful.If you have tried all these things and are still having problems getting enough quality sleep during the day, talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist. Sometimes medications(药物治疗)may be helpful and safe. In other cases, there may be an underlying sleep disorder that needs to be addressed.72.The purpose of the text is to .A.persuade workers to have a god sleep.B.advise night workers to keep healthyC.encourage workers to do day workD.help night workers to sleep well73.What does the author recomusend?A.A suitable account of alcohol to help sleep.B.A regular life on weekday’s and weekends.C.A dark room without phoebes to sleep in.D.A break for sleeping anytime during the day.74.On which condition should a person turn to a sleep specialist for help?A.If he suffers from a sleep disorder for the first time.B.If a good sleep environment is greatly needed for him.C.If he falls to get quality sleep through his own efforts.D.If he has the problem of bailing to sleep in the daytime.75.We can learn from the test that .A.night workers need a long time to fall asleepB.constant breaks at work help to improve performanceC.it is difficult to create a good sleep environmentD.night work requires people to adjust their body clocks答案：72―75 DBCDc感谢您的阅读，祝您生活愉快。

(整理版高中英语)市高考英语阅读理解训练题(11)及答案

省市高考英语阅读理解训练题〔11〕及答案Sadness is unpleasant, and in a society where personal happiness is prized above all else, there is little tolerance for falling in despair. Especially now we’ve got drugs for getting rid of sad feelings —whether it’s after losin g a job, the break-up of a relationship or the death of a loved one. So it’s no surprise that more and more people are taking them.But is this really such a good idea? A growing number of voices from the world of mental health research are saying it isn’t. They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is playing fast and loose. Sadness, they argue, serves a useful purpose—and if we lose it, we lose out. Yet many psychiatrists insist not. Sadness has a unpleasant habit of turning into depression they warn. Even when people are sad for good reason, they should take drugs to make themselves feel better. So who is right? Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch? There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life. It may be a kind of self-protection, as other primates (灵长类) also show signs of sadness. A losing monkey that doesn’t show sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkey — and that could result in death.In humans sadness has a further function: we may display sadness as a form of communication. By acting sad, we tell other community members that we need support. Then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark moods. There are plenty of great artists, writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder. Scientists found that people with signs of depression performed better at a creative task, and negative moods make people think deeply over the unhappy experience, which allows creative processes to come to the front. There is also evidence that too much happiness can be bad for your career. A doctor found that people who scored 8 out of 10 on a happiness test were more successful in income and education than 9s or 10s. The happiest people lose their willingness to make changes to their lives thatmay benefit them.13. The underlined word “this〞 refers to ________.A. taking medicineB. falling in despairC. losing a jobD. feeling sad14. The author believes sadness is ________.A. a good thing for people’s healthB. something horrible never to touchC. a necessary function of humansD. always to be treated as depression15. Some animals show their sadness in order to ________.A. cheat their enemyB. protect themselvesC. comfort the loserD. challenge the winner16. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.A. people with great creativity tend to be happierB. unhappy experiences contribute to a greater careerC. too much happiness can be bad for your careerD. the happiest people are the most successful ones13~16 ACBB********************************************************结束Father upset by Manchester school's 'Victorian' wall of shame Josie Robinson, who appeared on a so-called wall of shame at her school in south Manchester, was in tears. Her father has hit out at the "Victorian" methods.Chorlton High School put up pictures of year 10 pupils who teachers believed had behaved badly. Children singled out for praise were placed on the wall of fame. Its head teacher said the scheme (筹划) was designed to motivate pupils.Carlo Robinson, whose daughter Josie was put on the wall after missing lessons, wants to make a complaint. The teenager had been missing school and turning up latebecause she was upset that her mother was ill. She said: " I thought it was embarrassing."Mr Robinson added: "She was in tears. She couldn't tell me at first - it took her about an hour- because she wasn't sure what I would think of it. When she told me I was really shocked. I contacted at least 20 friends and they all agreed it was wrong - it's like Victorian times."Head teacher Andy Park said: "We've successfully used a similar scheme in the past with Year 11 students to incentivise pupils and it really did make a difference - pupils took it in the right spirit and were motivated by it to improve their performance. Obviously this latest scheme wasn't intended to cause offence to pupils. It was actually developed to praise the students moving forwards successfully and to support pupils who needed to make improvements. No parents have complained directly to the school and I'd be very happy to meet with any parents to discuss further."Mr Robinson told the reporter he had contacted the school to schedule a meeting with the head teacher.13. What does Mr. Robinson mean by saying this is the “Victorian〞 methods?A. The methods ignore women’s rights.B. The methods are totally out of time.C. The methods have a long history.D. The methods worked well in the past.14. Why had Josie been missing school, according to her father?A. She got up late.B. She hated the wall of shame.C. She wasn’t on the wal l of fame.D. Her mother was not well.15. What does the underlined word “incentivise〞 most probably mean?A. To encourage.B. To exchange.C. To hurt.D. To force.16. What can we learn from the passage?A. The scheme proved successful before.B. Most students didn’t take the scheme in the right spirit.C. Twenty other parents have similar complaints.D. The school has apologized to Mr. Robinson.13-16 BDAA*********************************************************结束New security camera can “see〞 through clothesNew technology that can “ see 〞through clothing and detect what ’ s underneath can now be used to scan crowds, making it a potentially effective tool to prevent terrorist attacks in public places.The Thru Vision T5000 camera picks up Terahertz rays ，or T-rays, which are naturally sent out by all objects and can pass through clothes or even walls. The camera can then detect metallic and nonmetallic objects hidden under clothing on still or moving subjects without showing any body detail.While similar technology is seen at airports around the world, the T5000 is designed to be used in large, open areas. With a range of 25 meters, the T5000 can screen people in public places, thus avoiding bottle-necks at border crossing or security checkpoints. It also means people can be screened without knowing it.The technology develops from British astronomers ’ work in studying dying stars. Astronomers use T-ray cameras to see through dust and clouds in space. The company sees uses for its camera at other sites where political or business activities take place.For privacy concerns，Thru Vision Chief Executive Clive Beattie said the image produced by the camera did not show detailed parts of the body. “It's almost a shining light bulb(灯泡〕.〞 Beattie said. "You don' t see the detail that people might be concerned about. 〞 In London' s busy Piccadilly Circus—which is already filled with closed -circuit surveillance (监视〕cameras— reaction to the new technology was mixed. Some said the camera was going too far and violating privacy，but others said they are willing to pu t safety before privacy concerns. “ There ’ s surveillance everywhere anyway, “ said one commuter. “I don' t think it’ s much of a difference.I don' t care that they can see through me because they can see me anyway.〞Some experts said the privacy violation of the camera was not worth the benefit. “What we should consider is how much we want to lose our privacy in order to obtain a sort of national security，〞 said David Murakami Wood，director of the Surveillance Studies network，which deals with surveillance and privacy problems. “In most cases this isn't real security—it’s a sense of safety that has very little real effect. 〞12．What can we learn about T5000?A．It can detect metallic and nonmetallic objects underneath.B．It can see through clothing or walls by sending out T-rays.C．It was first used to observe stars by astronomers.D．It is widely used at airports, around the world.13．What is the most probable purpose of the new invention?A．To improve people' s life standard.B．For scientific research.C．For commercial benefits.D． For safety reasons.14．Which is most probably the opinion of people on using the new camera?A．Some agree to its use as it is new technology to protect privacy.B．Some agree to its use because safety is the most important.C．Some don't agree to its use because it makes no difference.D．Some people don't care because they know little about it.15．What's the main idea of the Last paragraph?A．Safety is more important than privacy.B．T5000 is more beneficial than harmful.C．T5000 does not really provide security.D．It's not worth giving up privacy for safety.12—15、ADBD********************************************************结束Lawmakers in the United States have expanded an investigation into the use of location-tracking systems on mobile devices. The action follows recent reports about the storing of information on the Apple iPhone. Some people consider location tracking to be a threat to personal privacy and security.Allan Friedman, the research director, says, “All wireless companies do some location tracking as part of their networks. This information is usually stored by the companies, not the devices, and there are laws to protect it. Law enforcement(执法) agencies, for example, have to have a fairly high standard before it can access that data. And the phone company is also prohibited from selling that information.Now, two researchers report that location tracking information is being stored directly on Apple devices. They said Apple’s newest operating systems gather global positioning system and timestamp information. The information is stored on the device in a file that is also uploaded (上传) to any computer that the device is connected to. The researchers say the information is available to anyone who has access to the device or computer.Allan Friedman says, “This raises additional concerns. There’s the idea that because it’s on my phone and on my computer, rogue applications(恶意程序) that I pay for or that I’m tricked into downloading may be able to access this data and somehow misuse it.〞Apple says it is “not tracking the location of your iPhone〞. It is simply keeping a database of Wi-Fi hotspots and cellphone towers near the user’s location. This information is meant to help the iPhone quickly find its location when needed. Letters have been sent to some of the leading mobile device developers, including Apple and Google. The letters asked for more information about their location tracking systems. Allan Friedman calls this an important start to strengthening privacy laws. He says, “There aren’t strong controls over things like location information, what they are doing with it, how long they are keeping it. And perhaps the most important question is, is my location data with other facts about me?〞5.Why did American lawmakers investigate the use of location-tracking systems oncell-phones?A. Because the systems c an store users’ informationB. Because many users have suffered loss after using them.C. Because it is thought to threaten users’ privacy.D. Because many reporters have shown the problem of the systems.6. Allan Friedman believes that ________.A. wireless companies focus on personal privacy.B. people are forbidden to get access to private data at willC. phone companies may sell private information secretlyD. customers may ask wireless companies to locate their tracking7. What do we know from Paragraph 3?A. Location tracking information is stored online.B. Apple’s newest operating systems collect all kinds of information.C. Location tracking information may be uploaded to any iPhone.D. Apple’s newest operating systems may reveal the private inform ation of users.8.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Apple denies that it tracks the location of users.B. The researchers may misunderstand the Apple’s systems.C. The global positioning system is to blame for rogue applications.D. The iPhone can quickly find its location by using its user’s information.参考答案 CBDA************************************************************结束NEW YORK一A New York City eighth-grader's essay about a personal hero has landed him and his favorite teacher a role in a Superman book.Thirteen-year-old Hakeem Bennett，a special-needs student at Public School 36 inBrooklyn，won the Stone Arch Books national essay contest.Students wrote about their real-life heroes.

唐山晋州市2022高考英语阅读理解(含语法填空)练习(11)及答案

阅读理解As a professor at a large American university，I often hear a phrase from students：“I’m only a 1050.” The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)，which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice，or even have a chance to get a higher education at all.The SAT score，whether it is 800,1100 or 1550，has become the focus at this time of their life.It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores，then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number.Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over.The low test score，they think，will make it impossible for them to get into a good college.And without a degree from a_prestigious_university，they fear that many of life’s doors will remain forever closed.According to a study done in the 1990s，the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student’s future performance in most cases.Interestingly，it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators—like a student’s high school grades.Even if standardized tests like the SAT could show a student’s academic proficiency(学业水平)，they will never be able to test things like confidence，efforts and will power，and are unable to give us the full picture of a student’s potentialities(潜力).This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process.The SAT is an excellent test in many ways，and the score is still a useful means of testing students.However，it should be only one of many methods used.1.The purpose of the SAT is to test students’________.A.strong willB.academic abilityC.full potentialitiesD.confidence in school work2.Students’ selfrespect is influenced by their________.A.scores in the SATB.achievements in mathematicsC.job opportunitiesD.money spent on education3.The underlined phrase “a prestigious university” probably means “________”.A.a famous universityB.a technical universityC.a traditional universityD.an expensive university4.This passage is mainly about________.A.how to prepare for the SATB.stress caused by the SA TC.American higher educationD.the SAT and its effects【阅读心得】1.However，many of the young readers are getting interested in such poisonous reading，which costs them what they should pay for their breakfast and brings them nightmares and immoral ideas in return.(完形填空其次段倒数其次句) 然而，很多年轻的读者对这些有害刊物格外感爱好，而这些刊物花掉了他们本该去买早饭的钱，反而给他们带来了噩梦和邪恶的想法。

Bill Javis took over our village’s news-agency at a time of life when most of us only wanted to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-agency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been along-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock. Every day he opened his shop at 6:00 a. m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his doorstep before that. Many of Bill’s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o’clock, so at eleven sharp Bill cl osed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his neatest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometimes in the afternoon-, the evening paper landed on the doorway, and at 4 o’ clock Bill reopened his shop. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.He lived in a flat above the ship, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the afternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the, water. He had no luck, I could, see, but he was making no effort to move.“What’s wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path.For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, "Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right. "I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with him before.1. Bill Javis became a news-agent when ________.A. he need the money.B. he decided to take things easyC. he was quite an old manD. he gave up clock-repairing2. Bill opened the shop so early in the day because ________.A. he liked to do as much as possible before he went to workB. the shop had to be open when the morning papers cameC. he was never sure of timeD. it was then that he did a lot of business3.

Are you tired of looking for love in all the usual places? Nowadays, millions of lonely singles are going online instead. The World Wide Web is quickly becoming the world’s most popular matchmaker. With so many singles online, dozens of dating sites like Yahoo Personals and Match. com are helping singles find that special someone. Around the world, from America to China, love is now very much online.Singles are flocking to the Internet mainly because their busy lifestyles leave them little time to look for a significant partner. Using dating sites is quick and convenient. They can “meet” a lot more people online than they could by hanging out at a club. Besides , many singles say the regular dating scene has just led them from one bad experience to another and are ready to try something else. They also appreciate the first distance of online dating, which allows them to hide themselves until they are ready to meet someone face to face. Dating sites also make it easy to avoid someone you are not interested in. In the real world, however, ignoring someone you don’t like can be awkward.Despite all the advantages, online dating also presents its own set of problems. People aren’t always who they claim to be in their onli ne profiles. For instance, someone who tells you he is “handsome, successful and single”might turn out to be homely, unemployed and married. Safety is another concern. You are just as likely to find a criminal online as you are Mr or Miss Right.Even so, supporters of online dating see things in a positive way.

We had to wear uniforms and white socks. We didn’t like our dress code. The teachers warned us, “If you don’t follow the school dress code, you will be considered bad students.”I didn’t agree with their ideas because they didn’t think about the students’ rights. We wanted them to understand our ideas. In my junior high school, boys were skinheads(光头青年) because of the school dress code. We wanted to change it, so we discussed it with the teachers and with our parents. At last, we got the right to change the school dress code.Ayumi Ono:When we wear uniforms, we don’t need extra money for clothes. For example, if we have a school uniform, we wear it every day, so we don’t need to buy dresses to wear to school. I think second-hand clothes are also a good idea. These are much cheaper than new ones.Kayo Shigenobu:I don’t think we need dress codes because wearing clothes is a way to express individuality. I want to wear clothes that I like, so I don’t think school uniforms are necessary. However, a school uniform is a symbol of the school.Mami Kanemaru:I think a dress code is a bad thing because we cannot show our individuality. We humans each have individuality, so we had better show it to other people. If we have a dress code, we all look alike, but we are different.Keita Ogura:To wear the same clothes is an effective way to unite people into one way of thinking. For example, military clothes do this. In some societies, they want to increase their unity and power by making people wear the same clothes.Yuki Masui:When I was a high school student, we had some school rules; mainly it was a dress code. We had to wear sailor-style uniforms. Then, as in the winter season we felt cold, we wore T-shirts under our uniforms to protect ourselves from the cold. However, our teachers decided to require students not to wear undershirts. We had to follow these rules. If we didn’t, we were punished.1．What are these people talking about________?A．Their opinions on what kind of clothes to wear.B．Their opinions on wearing school uniforms.C．Their opinions on some of their school rules.D．Their opinions on their schools and teachers.2．How did Chizuru Kurono and his classmates get the right to change the school dress code________? A．They refused to follow the teachers’ advice.B．They got their ideas understood by the teachers and the parents.C．They had a quarrel with the teachers at school.D．They stopped going to school for some days.3．According to Mami Kanemaru, wearing the same kind of clothes ________.A．will make them lose their personality to othersB．can unite them into one way of thinkingC．will enable them to look better than other peopleD．can save them a lot of money4．From what Yuki Masui said we can infer that ________.A．many students refused to wear undershirts at schoolB．the sailor-style uniforms protected them from coldC．their teachers cared for their studies as well as healthD．the students in their school had a hard time in winter语法填空＋完形填空＋阅读理解答案Ⅰ．语法填空A1．healthy2．traveling3．If/When/While4．easier5．is stolen6．with7．which8．unnecessary9．preparations10．aB1．was walking2．calling3．any4．slipped5．it6．should have got7．However8．a9．later10．aⅡ．完形填空1~5．BDCAB 6~10．DCABC 11~15．AADCB 16~20．ABDCD Ⅲ．阅读理解1~4．BBAD语法填空2篇＋完形填空＋阅读理解1篇解析Ⅰ．A1．1．healthy考查形容词.在旅行的时候保持身体健康可以确保你拥有一个快乐而又舒适的旅行.stay healthy“保持身体健康”.2．2．考查非谓语动词.此处省略了主语和be动词,故用travel的现在分词形式.3．考查状语从句.根据语境可知,此空既可以用引导条件状语从句的If“如果”,也可以用引导时间状语从句的When/While.4．考查形容词的比较级.由空前的much可知,此处应用easy的比较级形式.5．考查时态和语态.passport和steal之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,应用被动语态,且此处是在陈述一般情况,应用一般现在时,故填is stolen.6．考查介词.表示某人随身携带某物应用介词with.7．考查定语从句.分析句子成分可知,to ________引导定语从句,由于空处作介词to的宾语,故用which. 8．考查形容词.根据语境可知,此处指不要带太多的钱或不必要的信用卡.9．考查名词.空处作make的宾语,应用prepare的名词形式,另外preparation作“准备工作”讲时是可数名词,故用其复数形式.10．考查冠词.have a good time“玩得高兴”,为固定短语.B1．考查时态.根据语境可知,此处是在陈述过去的某一时间正在发生的事情,故应用过去进行时.2．考查非谓语动词.hear sb. doing sth.表示“听见某人正在做某事”,故填calling.3．考查固定短语.at any moment是一个固定短语,表示“随时”.4．考查时态.此处只是在叙述过去发生的事情,因此用一般过去时.5．考查it作形式主语.此处it是形式主语,代替句中真正的主语“to climb up there alone”.6．考查虚拟语气.作者认为他本应该先寻求帮助,而不是一个人来营救孩子,故应用should have done表示“本应该做而没有做”.7．考查副词.句中的“Then I reached the boy.”和“I couldn’t get him down.”是转折关系,故用However.8．考查冠词.crowd表示“一群人”时是可数名词,故填a.9．考查副词.句中的“there appeared a helicopter”说明,大约过了五分钟一架直升机出现了,故填later. 10．10．were rescued考查时态和语态.主语we和动词rescue之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系,且陈述的是过去的事情,故应用were rescued.Ⅱ．1．下文说“Dad did the dishes”,因此“对付,处理”.父亲对我们说这些盘子由他来处理(take care of).2．由下文的“I could never do those dishes”可推断．“我”作为家中的男孩,看到父亲系着围裙,觉得很奇怪(strange).3．根据语境的连贯性判断应,用until引导时间状语从句,表示“直到”.“我”从来没有仔细想过这个问题,直到(until)有一天这个差事落到“我”的身上.4．下文说“Dad seemed in a merry mood”,因此．父亲高兴地(cheerfully)给“我”分派任务.5．从下文内容可知,父亲把星期天早饭后洗碗的差事给了“我”,因此,表示“责任”.每个男孩的人生中都会有需要他承担某种责任(responsibilities)的时刻.6．语境中提到了“in the paper”和“word”,这里说的应该是报纸上刊登的字谜游戏,因此项“谜,智力游戏”. 7．这个疑问句是父亲反问儿子的, Is there anything wrong with...?表示“……有什么不对吗?”,为固定句式,此处省略了Is there,故用代词anything.8．文章开头就交代了,本文的故事发生在早饭之后,因此．那天(星期天)早上“我”没吃多少早饭(breakfast). 9．这里表示姐姐开始清理(clear)饭桌.10．此时父亲叫母亲一起去看报纸,因此用announce表示“大声而肯定地说”.11．面对母亲的疑问,父亲不失时机地夸了“我”一句,说是“我”自己慷慨地提出要做家务的,因此表示“大方地,慷慨地”.12．本空在句中引导表语从句,并在从句中作had come to的宾语,指事,因此用what引导表语从句.“我”的生活成了这番模样.13．“我”对于洗碗很不情愿,与前面的“ask”呼应,故,表示“命令”.你可以要求“我”在暴风雨中奔跑.可以命令“我”坐过山车倒着跑.这些事情我都愿意做.但是我从来不会洗碗.14．这里用过去分词left作定语,表示“剩下的”.根据上文语境“但是我从来不会洗碗”可推断此处表示“我”只能拒绝洗碗的命令.15．人们都说,父亲与儿子之间存在着一种特别的化学反应.这里说的是父子之间有一种说不清道不明的特别的纽带关系,用special表示“特别的”.16．文章前面说了,“我”对父亲的命令感到很不情愿,这里应用storm表示“气冲冲地走”.17．此时父亲把领带松开,衬衣的袖子卷起,手上拿着那件旧围裙,要“我”穿上,看来父亲真的是要“我”来完成他原先的任务了,这样父亲就能放松一下,因此．18．这里用with that表示“紧接着,然后”,符合语境.19．此时作者看着围裙发呆,似乎看到父亲正拿着盘子快乐地洗刷.这里用reach for表示“伸手去拿”,因此．20．文章开头说父亲在洗碗的时候唱的歌是I Had a Hat When I Came in,下文说作者想做父亲那样的人,因此,作者也开始唱那首关于帽子的歌曲.Ⅲ．1．主旨大意题.从每个人所述的内容可以看出,这些人主要是在针对校服发表自己的看法.2．细节理解题.根据“We wanted to change it, so we discussed it with the teachers and with our parents.”可知答案. 3．细节理解题.Mami Kanemaru认为穿校服的话他们看上去都一样,无法表现个性,由此判断,她认为在其他人看来穿相同的衣服会使他们失去个性.4．推理判断题.冬天穿校服感到冷,但老师要求学生在校服下面不能再穿汗衫,如果不遵守就会受罚,由此推断,冬天对他们来说很难熬。

高中英语真题-2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空类训练(11)及答案

高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空类训练（11）及答案阅读理解Technology has been an encouragement of historical ch ange. It acted as such a force in England heginning in the eight eenth century, and across the entire Western World in the ninet eenth. Rapid advances were made in the use of scientific findin gs in the manufacture (制造)of goods, which hanged ide as about work. Onc of the first c hanges was that other forms of energy have taken the place of human power. Along with this came the increased use of mach ines to manufacture products in less time. People also develop ed machines that could produce the same parts for a product: e ach nail was exactly like every other nail. meaning that each nai l could be changed for every other nail. This means that goods could be mass production, ahhough mass production required b reaking production down into smaller and smaller tasks.Oncc this was done, workers no longer started on the produ ct and lahored to complete it. Instead, they might work only one thousandth of it, other workers completing their own parls in ce rtain order.There is nothing strange about this manufacturing work by toda y's standards. Highly skilled workers were unable to com pare with the new produciion techniques, as mass production allowe d goods of high standard to be produced in greater num- ber th an could ever be done by hand. But the skilled workers wasn't t he only loser, thc common workers lost too. Similar changes fo rced fanners a way. The increased mechanization (械化) of agriculture freed masses of workers from ploughing the la nd and harvesting its crops. They had little choice but to stream toward the rapidly developing industrial centers. Increasingly, standards were set by machines. Workers no longer owned thei r own tools, their skill was no longer valued, and pride in their w ork was no longer possible. Workers fed, looked after and repa ired the machines that could work faster than humans at greatly reduced cost.1. In this passage, which of the following is NOT considered asa change caused by tile use of scientific findings in the producti on of goods?A. Other forms of energy have taken the place of human pow er.B. The increased exploitation of workers in the 19th century.C. The increased use of machines to make products in less ti me.D. The use of machines producing parts of the same stand ar d.答案：B 指导：由文中第一段可知。

高三英语阅读理解训练题十一试题

阅读理解训练题〔十一〕制卷人：歐陽文化、歐陽理複；制卷時間：二O二二年二月七日AImagine a classroom missing the one thing that's long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing ? Paper. No notebooks, no textbooks, no test paper. Nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seem to run out of ink at the critical (关键的) moment.A "paperless classroom" is what more and more schools are trying to achieve.Students don't do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use palm (手掌) size, or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student's personal computer.Having computers also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information on any subject they're studying ? from maths to social science.High school teacher Judy Herrell in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to learn about the war in Afganistan (阿富汗) over one year ago."We could touch every side of the country through different sites ? from the forest to refugee camps (难民营)," she said. "Using a book that's three or four years old is impossible."And exams can go online too. At a high school in Tennessee, US, students take tests on their own computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own electronic grade book.A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky, US, said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper eachweek to each student."Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers," she said.But, with all this technology, there's always the risk (危险) that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available (可用的) for these hi-tech students.56. What does the part of the last sentence in the first paragraph, “run out of ink at the criticalmoment〞, mean?A. Pens may not write well at the critical moment.B. Pens get lost easily, so you may not find them at the critical moment.C. Pens may have little or no ink at the critical moment.D. Pens use ink, while pencils don't.57. In a paperless classroom, what is a must?A. Pens.B. Computers.C. Information.D. Texts.58. The high school teacher, Judy Herrell, used the example of her class to show that _______.A. the Web could take them everywhereB. the Web taught them a lotC. the Web is a good tool for informationD. the Web, better than the textbooks, can give the latest and comprehensive (全面的) information59. The paperless classrooms will benefit _____ the most.A. studentsB. teachersC. treesD. computers60. What does the phrase in the last paragraph, “break down〞, mean?A. Break into pieces.B. Stop working.C. Fall down.D. Lose control.BPsychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary rewards sparks creativity in grade-school children, suggesting that properly presented inducements indeed aid inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.“If kids know they’re working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity,〞says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark, “But it’s easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards.〞A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students, Eisenberger holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore failing grades.In earlier grades, the use of so-called token economies, in which students handle challenging problems and receive performance-based points toward valued reward, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, the Delaware psychologist claims.61.According to the passage, which is true?A.All the researchers performance at work and school.B.All the researchers think that rewards often destroy creativity.C.Among the educators they think rewards can destroy creativity.D.Even the careful use of a small money is harmful to the creativity.62.What’s the meaning of “approval〞? ________A. Praise.B. Happy.C. Blame.D. Feeling63.According to the passage, which is true?A. It doesn’t matter we give reward to the children according to their performances.B. A reward will help a child increase his creativity.C. In early grades, we can’t give children any rewards.D. It doesn’t matter whether we tight en grading standards at university.CLondon has more than nine million visitors every year. They come and visit some of the most famous places in England: Big Ben (大笨钟), the Tower of London and the River Thames (泰晤士河).You can see some of the most interesting places in the city by getting on one of London's tour buses. It has an open roof and let you off at the places you want to visit.Or you can take a ride on the London Eye. This large wheel slowly takes you 135m above the River Thames. From the top you have wonderful views of the whole city.The River Thames is London's main waterway. It has shaped the capital's landscape, history and geography. So one of the best ways of making sense of the city is to take a trip alongthe river. Much of the riverbank can now be walked along, particularly the south bank.The clock tower of the Houses of Parliament (议会大厦), Big Ben, has become one of the main symbols of London. It rises up nearly 100m to a golden point above the clock and a 13-ton bell. The sound of the bell, which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio programmes, has become well-known throughout the nation.No visit to London is complete without a look at the Tower of London, in the eastern part of the city. After Big Ben, the Tower may be London's most visited tourist spot. It is Europe's oldest palace and prison.Directly south is Tower Bridge, which is more than 100 years old.Among all the palaces in London, Buckingham Palace (白金汉宫) is the most famous. It has been the main London home of the royal (皇家的) family since Queen Victoria moved there in 1837. You can visit some of the rooms in August and September. And most mornings of the year you can watch the soldiers outside hanging the guard?About one hour by train out of London is the town of Windsor. Here you can visit another of the Queen's homes —Windsor Castle (温莎城堡). This wonderful building is Europe's biggest castle. There was a fire in 1992 and many of the rooms were badly burned. But now they are full of beautiful pictures, tables and chairs again.Sight-seeing in London is great, but it can get very tiring. So, the best way to start the day is to fill up on an English breakfast.For starters, have an egg, bacon, sausages (香肠), tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding and fried bread. Then finish off with toast and jam, and a large pot of tea. You can buy an English breakfast in nearly every hotel, and at many restaurants and cafes.An English pub is a good place to stop for lunch and a drink. You can get hot or cold food and try one of England's many ales (淡色啤酒).The English also like to have afternoon tea. This is toast and jam, or cake and another pot of tea.Fish and chips are also a traditional English meal. So look out for fish and chip shops in cities as well as by the sea.Or you can sit outside one of the many roadside pubs and cafes in London, and simply watch the busy world go by.64．Which of the following is not suggested as one of the best ways to make sense of London?A. Taking a trip along the Thames.B. Subway.C. Tour buses.D. London Eye. 65．According to the story, which place may be London's most visited tourist spot?A. Buckingham Palace.B. The Tower of London.C. Big Ben.D. The River Thames.66．If you go to London in December, you will not be able to __________.A. tour the city along the River Thames.B. visit Windsor CastleC. watch the soldiers outside the Buckingham Palace changing guardsD. tour the Buckingham Palace67．The word "starters" in the last paragraph but four (倒数第五段) means ________.A. the first course of the mealB. beginnerC. the first timeD. those who haven't had an English breakfastDWith the adve nt of fast food chains from the West such as McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut, the Chinese are being introduced to a diet that markedly increases the death rate from certain diseases in any population.The main killers in North America, the degenerative diseases such as heart attack and stroke as well as colon cancer, will become a way of death, not death, not life, in this country if the Chinese do not act quickly and compete with these health destroying food chains.Scientific studies from all over the world show that a diet high in animal foods such as pork, beef, including sugar, white flour, white noodles and even white rice, undermines one’s health. Deposits of animal fat cling to the walls of arteries, blocking the blood supply to various organs.This causes diseases in almost every organ, but in particular it damages two of the most vital ones, the heart and brain.Compare these problems with the excellent health one may enjoy if one consumes good Chinese food. The cook goes out every day, procures great-tasting, fresh vegetables, then cooks them for just a few minutes so that their nutritional value is preserved and afterwards serves them in a most artistic and elegant fashion. Please cling to your traditional ways of eating. They are far superior to those of the West.Certainly the fast food chains make lots of money, but who wants to fill the pockets of a foreign food chain that proceeds to ruin the health of the Chinese people?Another reason Western fast food restaurants make money is that the food they serve, which comes from assembly lines, will not attract bugs or spoil easily.How the Chinese could patronize these fast food places when Chinese cook such delectablefood, not just in this country but over the entire world, is beyond my comprehension.Western restaurants are clean and tastefully decorated. Moreover, these restaurants also do indeed have “good service and an inviting dining atmosphere〞. However, Chinese food chains could do likewise if they would organize themselves as the Western chains do.These lessons in management and décor are the only ones worth learning from the invasion of this country by the Western fast food chains. In other words only imitate the style of the restaurants, not the content of the food or the menus in any way, shape or form.Do not let the desire for money destroy the wonderful tradition that China has established in producing absolutely fantastically tasty as well as healthful food.68．A diet high in animal foods and refined foods will cause diseases, in particular it damages _________.A．the heart and brain B．the walls of arteries C．all organs D．the blood 69．The reasons Western fast food restaurants make money are __________.A．assembly lines that will not attract bugs or spoil easily B．clean and tastefully decoratedC．good service and an inviting dining atmosphere D．above of all 70．What will be worth learning from the Western fast food chains? _______A．The content of the food. B．The menus.C．The lessons in management and decoration. D．Shape or form of the food.71．In the passage, the author thinks _________A．Chinese should learn everything from Western fast food restaurants.B．Chinese should say no to Western fast food.C．Western fast food are good. D．Chinese food are bad.ESpecial trees that grow faster, fight pollution, produce better wood, and even sense chemical attacks are being planted by scientists in the US.When 40 per cent of Hawaii's US$14 million-a-year papaya (木瓜)industry was destroyed by a virus five years ago, work began on creating genetically engineered (转基因的) trees.Researchers successfully introduced seeds that were designed to resist the virus. Since then, more and more people have been testing genetically engineered trees.Some researchers put special bacteria into trees to help them grow faster and produce better wood. Others are trying to create trees that can clean polluted soil.Meanwhile fruit farmers are looking for trees that are strong enough to resist worms, and paper companies want trees that produce more wood and therefore more paper.The Pentagon (五角大楼，HY国防部所在地) even gave the researchersUS$500,000 this year after they developed a pine tree that changes its colours if it senses a chemical attack.So far, the poplar, eucalyptus (杨树与桉树), apple and coffee trees are among those being engineered. All this is can be done today because we have a better understanding of tree genomes (基因组).However, some people fear that the genetically engineered trees will cause dangerous results. They are worried that the new trees will breed with natural species and change the balance of the forest environment."It could be destructive," said Jim Diamond, an environmentalist. "Trees are what is left of our natural environment and home to many endangered species."But researchers insist that science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers.They hope to answer the critics by stopping the new trees from breeding, so their effect on the environment can be controlled.72．Which kind of tree is not the ones that scientists are planting in the US?A. Trees that worms can't hurt.B. Trees that can protect themselves at a chemical attack.C. Trees that can resist wind better.D. Genetically engineered trees.73．What caused the American scientists to work on special trees?A. They think science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers.B. Great numbers of trees have been lost due to attacks by viruses.C. Researchers successfully introduced seeds designed to resist the virus.D. Tree genomes are mapped out so scientists know how to improve trees.74．Which of the following was probably the first kind of trees being engineered?A. Papaya.B. Pine.C. Apple.D. Poplar.75．Why did critics think engineered trees dangerous? Because _______.A. these trees can destroy the balance of nature制卷人：歐陽文化、歐陽理複；制卷時間：二O二二年二月七日B. everything except trees has been genetically engineeredC. trees are home to many endangered speciesD. these trees may affect normal trees阅读理解训练题〔十一〕答案56-60CBDCB 61-65CABBC 66-70DAADC 71-75BCBAD制卷人：歐陽文化、歐陽理複；制卷時間：二O二二年二月七日制卷人：歐陽文化、歐陽理複；制卷時間：二O二二年二月七日。

The Bermuda native is in the midst of a trip that will take him to every state in the nation，mowing lawns （修剪草坪）.Five years ago，Smith came across a senior man mowing his lawn and stopped to help. “When I came across the elderly man，my life changed，” he said. After that，Smith went on to create the Raising Men Lawn Care Service （RMLCS）to mow lawns for the elderly，disabled，single moms and former soldiers free of charge. As part of providing free yard work，the organization teaches children about serving their communities and lawnmower safety.A key component of RMLCS is its 50-yard challenge，which sets a goal for children nationwide to mow 50 lawns for free in their community. When a kid signs up for the challenge，the group sends him/her a white shirt with the Raising Men logo （标识），shades and ear protection. The participants receive a different colored shirt after every 10th lawn they mow. When they have completed the task for 50 yards，they receive a special visit from Smith or someone with RMLCS. They give the volunteer a new lawnmower，free of charge，and cut other lawns with them.Since this challenge started，12 kids have already completed the challenge. And both boys and girls are part of it. At present they have 130 kids nationwide taking part in this challenge，including 7 in Bermuda and the UK and one in Canada. So its spreading worldwide. Even the Queen of England took notice—the governor of Bermuda presented Smith with an award late last year on behalf of her.It was also last year that Smith came up with the 50 States 50 Lawns campaign. Now hes on the road again.4. What is the purpose of the RMLCS？A. To educate children to work hard.B. To offer free lawn cutting service.C. To make high-quality lawnmowers.D. To train professional lawn mowing workers.5. What is the reward for a child to complete the 50-yard challenge？A. A visit to RMLCS.B. the Raising Men logo.C. A white shirt and ear protection.D. A new lawnmower from RMLCS.6. Why is the Queen of England mentioned in the text？A. To praise the Queen for her care.B. To prove that Smith is respected by everyone.C. To show that Smiths behavior got recognized.D. To introduce where Smiths motivation came from.7. What can be the best title for the text？A. Mow Lawns in Order to TravelB. Lawn Mowing—a New TrendC. Choose Mowing Lawns to HelpD. Smith—a Man Loving Mowing LawnsIf you ask most people what water tastes like，they’ll probably tell you that water has no taste and they may give you a funny look. But if you were a fruit fly，asking another fruit fly，that question might have a different answer.To a fruit fly，water has a taste. Scientists want to know how the fruit fly knows water because this information may help in learning how other animals—or even individual cells—manage to use water in the right way. Water is vital to life，but too much or too little can be deadly to a living creature. So by understanding how the fruit fly tastes water，researchers may learn more about other living things.According to the new study，a protein （蛋白质）called PPK28 makes it possible for a fruit fly to taste water. Proteins build cells and tissues，fight disease and carry messages between cells. It’s not surprising that a protein is responsible for the fruit flies ability to taste water.The PPK28 protein is part of a larger family of similar proteins. One of these related proteins is used by mammals （including humans）to taste salt. Scientists have not found a protein that enables humans to “taste” water.In the experiment，Cameron and his team compared normal fruit flies with fruit flies whose taste cells had been disabled. The fruit flies were given aspecial chemical that would glow when the fly used the PPK28 protein. Then the scientists led the flies to water. When the normal flies tasted the water，the PPK28 protein lit up—showing that it was in use.The fruit fly in particular is so interesting that some scientists are hard at work creating a complete map of the fruit fly brain. This map will show all of a flies neurons （神经元）and help scientists understand how the neurons work together.8. How do most people feel when asked about the taste of water？A. Amused.B. Frightened.C. Disappointed.D. Confused.9. Why do scientists want to know how the fruit fly knows water？A. To decrease the number of the fruit fly.B. To know something about other creatures.C. To learn to use water correctly.D. To describe the taste of water.10. What do we know about the PPK28 protein？A. It enables humans to taste salt.B. The fruit fly can’t live without it.C. It enables the fruit fly to taste water.D. The fruit fly uses it to avoid illnesses.11. What will the scientists continue to work at？A. Studying the fruit flies neuron systems.B. Finding more information about cells.C. Creating maps of human brains.D. Making the PPK28 protein.If you buy a washing machine，a fridge or a television in Europe，it comes with a sticker. Thanks to a 1992 EU rule，all appliances （电器）must be labeled （贴标签）with their energy efficiency. So why has our food system—which threatens 10，000 species with extinction，produces about 30% of greenhouse gases，and drives 800% of our air pollution—only ever had voluntary eco-labels？The appliances ruling had a huge impact （冲击力）; initially，75% of fridges and freezers were rated G to D （low efficiency），but today 98% are classed A++ or A+++. Worldwide，the energy efficiency of labeled applianceshas increased three times faster than appliances without labels. Introducing an equal system for food could have an even bigger impact.Mandatory environmental labels would change how we produce and consume in far-reaching ways. First，producers would have to measure their impacts in a uniform way and be accountable for the results. This would not be expensive：it is free to monitor environmental impacts using digital tools such as Field print and the Cool Farm Tool. Second，they support sustainable consumption. Our research found that products that look，taste and cost the same can have dramatically different environmental impacts. High-impact beef producers use 5，7000% more land and create l，000% more greenhouse gases than low-impact producers. Labels would allow consumers to tell these products apart.They would highlight both high-and low-impact producers，in the same way，across multiple products. This would encourage more people to think about their choices by exposing them to the facts every time they are in the shops. We can also use labels to turn smaller consumer changes into large environmental benefits：because a small number of producers create a large share of the impact，simply avoiding high-impact producers can make a huge contribution to pollution reductions.12. Why does the author mention the appliances in Paragraph 1？A. To applaud the 1992 EU rule.B. To bring up the topic of labeling food.C. To point out the pollution they caused.D. To compare their energy consumption rates.13. What do the figures in Paragraph 2 show？A. The importance of saving energy.B. The debate about eco-labeled appliances.C. The effectiveness of the appliances ruling.D. The problem caused by appliances of low efficiency.14. What does the underlined word “Mandatory” in Paragraph 3 mean？A. Compulsory.B. Effective.C. Different.D. Independent.15. Why are eco-labels used for products？A. To increase the profits of low-impact producers.B. To show producers environmental impacts.C. To guide consumers to buy healthier food.D. To expose consumers to more products.答案1—5 DCBBD 6—10 CCABC 11—15 ABCAB阅读七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

（一）The Man of Many Secrets Harry Houdini was one of the greatest American entertainers in the theater this century. He was a man famous for his escapes from prison cells，from wooden boxes floating in rivers，from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his “magic” tricks. Of course，his secret was not magic or supernatural powers. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17，in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in a club in New York. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers.

Then Harry performed his first prison escape，in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison，and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.It was the publicity that came from this started Hairy Houdini’s success. Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and toes trained to escape from ankle chains. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell，Bess gave him a kiss for good luck and a small skeleton key，which is a key that fits many locks，passed quickly from her mouth to his. Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local jail of every town he visited.

Los Angeles is the third largest city in the United States，with a population of three million. About sixteen percent of the city’s population are black.News of this election appeared on the front pages of newspapers everywhere in the United States. Here is how one major newspaper reported the event：LOS ANGELES ELECTES BRADLEY MAYOR UNSEATING YORTYBLACKS WINS% OF VOTESBradley called this victory over Yarty “the fulfillment[实现] of a dream”. During his childhood and youth，people had kept telling him，“You can’t do this，you can’t go there，because you are a Negro.” Nevertheless he had won a decisive victory ove r a man who had been the city’s mayor for three terms. Bradley had won 43. 7 percent.Los Angeles voters have had many opportunities to judge. Thomas Bradley had to form an opinion of him. The son of a poor farmer in Texas，he joined the Los Angeles police force in 1940. During his twenty-one years on the police force he earned a law degree by attending school at night.He was elected to the city council[市政厅] ten years ago. At the time of the Los Angeles election，three other American cities already had black mayors，but none of those cities had as large a population as Los Angeles. Besides，the percentage of blacks in those other cities was much larger. Cleveland，Ohio，had thirty-six percent black when Carl Stokes was elected mayor of Cleveland in 1967. In the same year Richard Hatcher was elected mayor of Gary，Indiana，which have fifty-five percent black. In Newark，New Jersey 60% of the population were black when Kenneth Gibson was elected in 1970. Thus election of a black mayor in those cities was not surprising.In Los Angeles thousands of white citizens voted for Thomas Bradley because they believed he would be a better mayor than the white candidates. Bradley had spent 48 of his 55 years in Los Angeles. Four years ago Bradley lost mayoral election to Yarty. This time Bradley won.1. In the authors opinion，it was surprising that _______.A. the whites would vote for a black mayorB. a black mayor would be elected in such a large cityC. a black from a poor farmers family could be elected mayor of Los AngelesD. there would be so many black mayors2. From the passage we can infer that people _______.A. voted for Bradley because his black colorB. didnt care much about his color when they votedC. voted for him to give him a chance to fulfill his dreamD. voted for Bradley because they trust him3. Bradley hit the front page headline for _______.A. he was the first black mayor in historyB. he was the first black mayor in the south of USAC. he was the first black mayor of one of the largest cities in USAD. a poor farmer’s son could also win an important election4. From Bradley’s victory in the election we can see that _______.A. blacks had equal rights as whites in the USAB. black people’s situation began to be improving much more than beforeC. one can be successful through hard work in US no matter what color you areD. it is sure that someday US will have a black president（三）A higher reading rate，with no loss of comprehension，will help you in other subjects as well as in English，and the general principles apply to any language. Naturally，you will not read every book at the same speed.You would expect to read a newspaper，for example，much more rapidly than a physics of economics textbook—but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage gained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with.The reading passages which follow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction. They are all about five hundred words long. They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge. Thus theyfall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks and the much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel. If you read this kind of English，with understanding at four hundred words per minute you might skim through a newspaper at perhaps 650—700，while with a difficult textbook you might drop to two hundred or two hundred and fifty.Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native English speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved. Tests in Minnesota，U.S. A for example，have shown that students without special training can read English of average difficulty，for example Tolstoy’s War and Peace in translation，at speeds of between 240 and 250 words per minute with about seventy percent comprehension. Students in Minnesota claim that after twelve half-hour lessons，once a week，the reading speed can be increased，with no loss of comprehension，to about five hundred words per minute.1. according to the passage，the purpose of effective reading with a higher speed is most likely to help you _______.A. only in your reading of a physics textbook.B. improve your understanding of an economics textbookC. not only in your language study but also in other subjectsD. choose the suitable materials to read2. Which of the following does not describe the types of reading materials mentioned in the second paragraph？A. Those beyond ones reading comprehension.B. Those concerned with common knowledge.C. About sixty words per minute.D. About five hundred words per minute.3. according to the passage，how fast can you expect to read after you have attended twelve half-hour lessons in the University of Minnesota？A. You can increase your reading speed by three timesB. No real increase in reading speed can be achieved.C. You can increase your reading speed by four times.D. You can double your reading speed.4. Where do you think the passage is taken from？A. The introduction to a book in fast reading.B. A local newspaper for young people.C. A school newspaper run by students.D. The introduction to an English textbook.（四）New York，10 November 5：27 pm，yesterday. Biggest power failure in the city’s history.Thousands of people got stuck in lifts. Martin Saltzman spent three hours between the 21st and 22nd floors of the Empire State Building. “There were twelve of us. But no one panicked. We passed the time telling stories and playing word games. One man wanted to smoke but we didn’t let him. Firemen finally got us out.”“It was the best night we’ve ever had，” said Angela Carrera，who runs an Italian restaurant on 42nd Street. “We had lots of candles on the tables and the waiters were carrying candles on their trays. The place was full and all night，in fact，for after we had closed，we let the people stay on and spend the night here.”The zoos had their problems like everyone else. Keepers worked through the night. They used blankets to keep flying squirrels and small monkeys warm. While zoos had problems keeping warm，supermarkets had problems keeping cool. “All of our ice cream and frozen foods melted，” said the manger of a store in downtown Manhattan. “They were worth $50，000.”The big electric clock in the lobby[大厅] of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in downtown Manhattan started ticking [滴答] again at 5：25 this morning. It was almost on time.1. Throughout the period of darkness，Martin Saltzman and the eleven others were ________.A. nervousB. excitedC. calmD. frightened2. In what way was the night of November 9 the best night for Angela Carrera？A. She had a taste of adventure.B. Burning candles brightened the place.C. Business was better than usual.D. Many people stayed the night in her restaurant.3. How long did the power failure last？A. Nearly 12 hours.B. More than 12 hours.C. Nearly 24 hours.D. More than 24 hours.（五）Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become“computer-literate.” But not all experts[专家] agree that this is a good idea.One pioneer，in particular，who disagrees is David Tibbett，the founder of Computer town UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer，David does not see it that way. He says that Computer town UK was formed for just the opposite reason，to bring computers to people and make them “people-literate？David Tibbett thinks Computer towns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two. The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts，who are happier going to Computer towns where there are computers for them to experiment on，with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have. They are not told what to do. They find out. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers，but have to be able to answer all questions people ask. People dont have to learn computer terms[术语]，but the experts have to explain in plain language. The computers are becoming “people-literate？1. Which of the following is David Debuts idea on the relationship between people and computers？A. Computer learning should be made easier.B. There should be more computer clubs for experts.C. People should work harder to master computer use.D. Computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.2. We can infer f rom the text that “computer-liberate” means ________.A. being able to afford a computerB. being able to write computer programsC. working with the computer and finding out its valueD. understanding the computer and knowing how to use it3. The underlin ed word “it” in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computer towns ________.A. help to set up more computer clubsB. bring people to learn to use computersC. bring more experts to work togetherD. help to sell computers to the public4. David Tibbett started Computer town UK with the purpose of _______.A. making better use of computer expertsB. improving computer programsC. increasing computer salesD. popularizing computers参考答案与解析（一）文章讲的是一个著名的艺人赫迪尼成功的原因。

(由2014·湖北卷改编)You've flown halfway around the world；you've sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of；so what on earth is there to do here？You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee.By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out，it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland. Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin，about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok，down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand. Not many tourists find this place，and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along. There's an apparent laziness that surrounds you here.It's what this place offers，and it's free of charge.The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down.You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest.You sit there and watch the sea.It's early afternoon，so the cook comes out and asks what you'd like to eat this evening.Before long he's rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered－every meal fresh and to order.No menu here. There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm，clear blue sea.There's no street noise.The only sounds are the murmurs of nature.For now you just count your blessings (福祉)，listing them in the sand with your toe (脚趾)．You don't have to worry about being late for work. You don't have to do anything.The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线)，slowly narrowing to nothingness only to reemerge again on your left，now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you.Sand to your left and sand to your right; it's unbroken，endless.No start，no end，just sand，sun，and peace.Step off it，and you reenter the world of traffic，stress，work，and hurry.Normally you're the type who can't sit still for more than ten minutes，but you're on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and，in the right frame of mind，it stretches all the way around the world.“How could it take me so long to find it？” you wonder.1．When the author first went to Huaplee Beach，________.A．he found it unworthwhileB．he failed to sort himself outC．he became sensitive to smellD．he had difficulty in finding it2．What is special about the food service at Huaplee Beach?A．No menu. B．Free food.C．Self service. D．Quick delivery.3．In the author's opinion，a tourist can enjoy Huaplee Beach most when he ________. A．sits in a beach chair B．forgets his daily routineC．plans a detailed schedule D．draws pictures in the sand4．What does the author imply by his question at the end of the passage? A．He shouldn't have counted his blessings.B．He should have understood the wonder of nature.C．He shouldn't have spent so much time on the trip.D．He should have come to the place earlier.答案：【语篇解读】本文是一篇旅游杂记，介绍了泰国一个静谧的海滩，描述了这里的环境给人的慵懒的感觉。

高考英语阅读理解训练十一Passage 1Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard , and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.Many roads and places in Singapore （新加坡）are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries—in both the West and the East.Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus—obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example. “Bras Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay （马来语）. Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent （月牙）because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.1. We learn from Paragraph 1 that ______.A. the government is usually the first to name a placeB. many places tend to have more than one nameC. a ceremony will be held when a place is namedD. people prefer the place names given by the government2. What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Change suddenly.B. Change significantly.C. Disappear mysteriously.D. Disappear very slowly.3. Which of the following places is named after a person?A. Raffles Place.B. Selector Airbase.C. Piccadilly Circus.D. Paya Lebar Crescent.4. Bras Basah Road is named ______.A. after a personB. after a placeC. after an activityD. by its shape5. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain.B. Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes.C. The way Singaporeans name their places is unique.D. Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.Passage 2Many of China's ancient architectural treasures smashed to dust before Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng began documenting them in the 1930s. The husband and wife team were among the first preservationists to operate in China, and by far the best known. Their efforts have since inspired generations of people to speak out for architecture threatened by the rush toward development. Becoming China's best architectural historians was no easy accomplishment. The buildings they wanted to save were centuries old, located in distant parts of the country. In many cases, they had to journey through dangerous conditions in the Chinese countryside to reach them. Exploring China's remote areasduring the 1930s meant traveling muddy, poorly maintained roads by mule(骡子)or on foot. Inns were often dirty, food could be polluted, and there was always risk of violence from rebels, soldiers and robbers.Their greatest discovery was the Temple of Buddha's Light, in Wutai County, Shanxi Province. The breathtaking wooden temple was built in 857 A.D., making it the oldest building known in China at the time.Liang and Lin crawled into the temple's most forbidding, forgotten areas to determine its age, including one hideaway inhabited by thousands of bats and millions of bedbugs, covered in dust and littered with dead bats. "In complete darkness and among the awful smell, hardly breathing, with thick masks covering our noses and mouths, we measured, drew, and photographed with flashlights for several hours. When at last we came out to take a breath of fresh air, we found hundreds of bedbugs in our bag. We ourselves had been badly bitten. Yet the importance and unexpectedness of our find made those the happiest hours of my years hunting for ancient architecture." Liang wrote of the experience in an account included in "Liang and Lin: Partners in Exploring China's Architectural Past."1. On their way to the ancient buildings in 1930s, Liang and Lin faced following risks EXCEPT.A. accommodationsB. personal securityC. road conditionsD. vehicles2. Liang and Lin raised public awareness of .A. documenting smashed historical buildingsB. rebuilding historically valuable buildingsC. saving the oldest temples in ChinaD. protecting historical buildings3. While exploring the Temple of Buddha's Light,A. Liang and Lin caught insects with awful smellB. Liang and Lin were forbidden to breathe insideC. Liang and Lin were pleased at something unhoped forD. Liang and Lin determined its age by studying bedbugs' hideaway4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Creativeness results in discoveryB. Difficulty produces achievementC. Efforts contribute to happinessD. Responsibilities make developmentPassage 3Think plants are just boring green things that you use for food and decoration? Think again! Plants are able to do some pretty awesome things that you’re probably totally unaware of.Researchers have discovered that plants have the ability to communicate with an underground network made up of fungus (真菌) , which serves the plants in many ways. Tomato plants use the fungus web to warn each other of their own unhealthy conditions. Trees connected through the fungus network could move nutrients (养分) to and from each other. It is believed that larger trees move nutrients to smaller ones to help them to survive.Not only that, but they can also damage unwelcome plants by spreading poisonous chemicals through the fungus. It sounds like the plant world had the Internet before we did.Some plants have a rather impressive line of defense against being eaten. When sensing they are being swallowed, they give off a chemical into the air that attracts the insect’s natural enemy. The enemy attacks the bug, thus saving the plants. This is basically the plant kingdom version of getting your older brother to beat up that kid who steals your lunch money.You might be aware that humans and animals have an internal clock.

They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other （particularly women）with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there's no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over emails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency （效率）is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines how people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So do not pull away from the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows （肘部）and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality （守时）is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others' time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree.
