一轮复习最新高考英语阅读理解精选附答案一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解It seems every major city and town around the world hosts an annual marathon, with thousands of athletes running a gruelling 42.1 kilometres. While many runners' motivation is to beat their personal best and cross the finishing line without collapsing, they're also doing it for a good cause—to generate funds for charity. But like other major events, the marathon also generates a massive carbon footprint. Thousands travel —some by plane—to the location, and waste from food packaging and goody bags gets left behind by spectators and runners. This is becoming a big issue for cities—how to host a worthwhile event, encouraging people to exercise and help charities, while protecting the environment? Several cities have developed formal plansto reduce their environmental impact and promote sustainable (可持续的) ideas. One event in Wales, for example, introduced recycling for old running kit.It's something that this year's London Marathon tried to tackle by reducing the number of drink stations on the running route, giving out water in paper cups and offering some drinks in eatable seaweed capsules. They also trialled new bottle belts made from recycled plastic so 700 runners could carry water bottles with them during their run. London Marathon event director Hugh Brasner told the BBC: "There are a lot of initiatives (倡议) we are using this year that we think will lead to some huge behavioural changes in the future."Meanwhile, some people still think running a marathon could be our best foot forward in helping the planet. Dr Andrea Collins from Cardiff University told the BBC: "Training for a marathon makes you more sustainable in day-to-day activities. I started walking or running to work every day and shunning public transport altogether. Being environmentally friendly while training sticks with you and becomes a way of life. "(1)Why do many people enter for a marathon?A. To achieve their own ambitions.B. To generate a massive carbon footprint.C. To improve themselves both physically and mentally.D. To challenge their personal limitations and raise money for charities.(2)What did Hugh Brasner think of this year's London Marathon?A. It may bring a large profit to London.B. It saved a lot of water resources and power.C. It may improve people's behaviour in the future.D. It may make Londoners more friendly when running a marathon.(3)Which of the following can replace the underlined word "shunning" in the last paragraph?A. Damaging.B. Avoiding.C. Choosing.D. Changing.(4)What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Running a marathon can make more money.B.Running a marathon can do great damage to the earth.C.Running a marathon can change people's life completely.D.Running a marathon can contribute to protecting the earth.【答案】(1)D(2)C(3)B(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,现如今,许多城市和乡镇都举办了马拉松比赛,马拉松旨在为一些公益活动募集资金,但马拉松的举办也为城市带来了环境问题。

As many as a quarter of all cases of short-sightedness are caused by too great an exposure to sunlight in the first weeks of life, say eye experts.They are advising all parents to put sunglasses on their babies during the first weeks. Scientists had already established that over-exposure to sunlight caused shortsightedness in animals.Researchers who compared the months in which babies were born with whether they needed glasses later on say the principle also applies to humans.A study of almost 300, 000 young adults-the largest of its kind-showed that those born in June and July had a 25 per cent greater chance of becoming severely short-sighted than those born in December or January.Research leader Professor Michael Belkin, of Tel Aviv University, said it was because prolonged illumination(光照) causes the eyeball to lengthen-causing short-sightedness.Hence the more light a newborn is exposed to, the more the eyeball lengthens and the worse the short-sightedness will be.The mechanism which lengthens the eyeball is associated with levels of melatonin(褪黑激素), a pigment (色素) which protects the skin against harmful rays of the sun.In young babies not enough melatonin is released as protection, meaning they are more vulnerable to sunburn and changes to eyeball shape.Sight expert Professor Daniel O'Leary, of Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, said "At the moment we don't know the precise cause of why light exposure affects sight, but the evidence seems to prove that it is one of the reasons for people becoming shortsighted."(1)Babies born in summer are more likely to be shortsighted ____________.A. because the summer sun is too strong for babiesB. because babies born in summer have lengthened eyeballsC. if they are exposed too much sunlight in the first weeks after they are born D if parents don't know a proper way to protect their babies' eyes(2)Melatonin is a kind of material to ___________.A. prevent the eyes from becoming near-sightedB. protect the skin from harmful sun raysC. make our body strongD. protect babies' eyes from summer sun(3)From what Professor Daniel O'Leary says we can conclude that ___________.A. there is no evidence that shortsightedness is related to exposure to sunlightB. whether light exposure affects sight still needs to be further provedC. he believes that light exposure can cause shortsightednessD. he tries to give the cause of why light exposure affects sight(4)The underlined word "vulnerable" in the passage probably means __________.A. easy to be harmedB. resistantC. protectiveD. changeable【答案】(1)C(2)B(3)C(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,研究表明在夏季出生的婴儿长大后更容易成为近视眼,眼科专家称多达四分之一的近视眼病例是由于在出生后前几周里暴露阳光太久造成。

However urban life strikes you,cities worldwide have been growing even more rapidly.Some of this growth has occurred in the developed world,but the most dramatic increase has been in the Third World.Almost all the world’s population growth over the next 30 years will take place in the cities of developing countriesBy the year 2030,for the first time in history,60 percent of the world’s people will be living in cities.This is actually good news in some ways.“Cities are the fundamental building blocks of prosperity,” says Marc Weiss,chairman of the Prague Institute for Global Urban Development,“ both for the nation and for families.” Industrial and commercial activities in urb an areas account for between 50 and 80 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP)in most countries of the world“ there’s the crazy notion that the way to deal with a city’s problems is to keep people out of them,” Weiss continued.“But the problems of the rural life are even more serious than those of the city.” For better or worse,urban-watchers are clear on one point: The quality of life for most people in the future will be determined by the quality of cities.Those cities will be bigger than ever.And yet,population numbers by themselves don’t determine a city’s prospects;after all,Addis Ababa,Ethiopia,and Hamburg,Germany,have the same population.Nor is explosive growth necessarily the determining factor.“City problems,” one authority points out,“mostly have to do with weak,ineffective,and usually unrepresentative city governments.”1.The passage mainly discusses ______________.A.Big cities.B.City life.C.Population.D.Gross Domestic Product.2.According to the passage,in the year of 2030 _______.A.there will be 21 cities having a population of more than 10 million.B.rural area will be extinct.C.most people will live in cities.D.the third world will keep abreast with the developed world.3.In the author’s opinion,_________.A.better city,better lifeB.both urban and rural areas have a larger populationC.the larger population,the faster a city developsD.both urban and rural areas have larger gross domestic products4.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A.The developing countries develop faster than the developed countries.B.Cities contribute more to the GDP than the villagers.C.Some problems are more easily solved in cities than in country.D.It’s impossible to solve urban problems by getting people out of cities.5.The last paragraph implies that ____________.A.public services are ineffective.B.cities are increasing too fast.C.population is not linked with development.D.government should be responsible for the problems in the cities.【参考答案】1---5、A C A A D阅读理解。

Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly." It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed," he adds.Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors to power the vehicle.The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.In New Zealand, Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1, 000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack "is built around safety from the start". In his words, "Reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute that would be used, if there should be an emergency. "It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot," he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.(1)We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike ________.A. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quicklyB. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to 1, 000 meters highC. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teamsD. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed(2)Peter Coker uses the example of Formula One racing car to show that ________.A. the Jetpack is very safe and reliableB. the engine of the Jetpack is powerfulC. the actual structure of the Jetpack is uniqueD. the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height(3)The underlined word "It" in the last paragraph refers to ________.A. the jet streamB. the engineC. the JetpackD. the parachute (4)What is the author's main purpose of writing the passage?A. To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles.B. To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles.C. To show the differences between two flying vehicles.D. To advertise the two personal flying vehicles.【答案】(1)D(2)A(3)D(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,讲述一种个人飞行工具很快就会应用于现实,然而安全性和强度一直是个大问题,文中介绍了两家研发飞行器的公司的最新的产品,新产品把安全放在首位,并对产品进行了改进。

高考题型·组合规范练14选择性必修第三册UNIT1阅读理解题组——练速度(35mins)Ⅰ.阅读理解AChinese food is considered to be the biggest cultural exchange between China and other countries.The following dishes are each special in their own way.PekingDuckThis famous dish can be found at restaurants all around Beijing.High class restaurants take this dish so seriously that some even have their own duck farms and use only a special kind of duck for their specific Peking Duck dish.Peking Duck is famous for its thin skin,and its delicious meat,which is highly popular among all foreigners,including foreign celebrities and leaders.WonTonSoupWon Ton Soup,called “Hun Dun” in Chinese,is a highly welcoming dish in China.Since China is a country of many nationalities and different cultures,each region has their own shapes for won tons.Won tons are usually boiled and served in soup,but they can also be deep-fried.DumplingsDuring the Spring Festival,Chinese families will get together and have dumpling parties.It is said that the dish was invented by Zhang Zhongjing,one of the finest Chinese physicians in history.Dumplings have a 1,800-year-long history,which is why it is one of the most popular traditional foods in China and extremely popular in Western countries.They may be cooked byboiling,steaming,simmering,frying or baking.Egg-friedRiceFirstly from China’s ancient western regions,egg-fried rice has now become part of Chinese people’s daily food.Famous for its pleasant smells,soft taste and handsome appearance,one can easily find this popular dish anywhere in China,from high class hotels tofamily-run restaurants on the street.While it is fairly easy to make,there are some points that should be kept in mind:use left-over rice rather than newly cooked rice for bettertaste.Additionally,before frying,the rice should be churned up.1.Which of the following has its own farm?A.Restaurants serving Won Ton Soup.B.Restaurants serving Peking Duck.C.Restaurants serving dumplings.D.Restaurants serving egg-fried rice.2.What makes dumplings so popular in China and Western countries?A.The long history.B.The different shapes.C.The special taste.D.The unique style of cooking.3.What can we learn about egg-fried rice?A.It tastes better if cooked with newly made rice.B.It first appeared in the northern part of China.C.It is served in restaurants of different classes.D.It was invented by an ancient Chinese physician.BGuanmei,a 65-year-old woman of the Dong ethnic group,is the inheritor of the Grand Song of Dong (侗族大歌),a national intangible cultural heritage in China.Her hometown Zaidai Village in Guizhou,southwestern China,is home to the Grand Song of the Dong ethnic group.The Grand Song of Dong dates from more than 2,500 years ago.The way Dong singers use their vocal cords (声带) is different from how formally trained singers do.It is a folk chorus with multi-parts,no conductor,and no anically growing from their natural surroundings,it is recognized internationally as “the sound of Nature”.Before the Dong people had a writing system in 1958,the Dong culture,their history and stories were all recorded by means of songs.As a Dong saying goes,“Rice feeds the body and songs enrichthe soul.”The Dong people sing right from their childhood.While not singing,they all work in their rice field.Guanmei has been singing the Grand Song of Dong all her life,making her a famous singing teacher in her hometown and nearby areas.“The songs are our means of passing on wisdom,knowledge and life experiences to others.I will not exist in this world 100 years later,but Grand songs will.I’m honored to do this job,” Guanmei said.Kind-hearted,Guanmei has been volunteering to teach the Grand Song of Dong to the Dong children for over 30 years.Now she has more than 300 students.Guanmei is pleased to see the village children come to her house willingly when they have free time.“Nowadays,more and more young people leave the village and settle in cities.Decades later,the Dong children out of the village might know nothing about Grand songs.We should do something just now.It’s our mission.What is once lost might be lost forever,” added Guanmei.4.What makes the Grand Song of Dong known as “the sound of Nature”?A.The outstanding conductor.B.The special musical instrument.C.The attractive natural environment.D.The inspiration from nature.5.What can we know about the Dong ethnic culture?A.The Dong singers are professionals.B.The Dong culture before 1958 has been largely lost.C.Singing is of vital importance to the Dong people.D.They have a written language with a history of over 2,500 years.6.How does Guanmei feel about the future of Grand songs?A.Concerned.B.Sympathetic.C.Optimistic.D.Satisfied.7.What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?A.To call on young people to return to the Dong village.B.To guide the Dong children to learn the Grand Song of Dong.C.To show a woman’s efforts to keep the Dong culture alive.D.To instruct people to appreciate the Grand Song of Dong.CThey say everything is bigger in Teay be true,some of the best things in Teall.Case in point:tiny Mount Vernon,a town of just under 3,000 people.But if you do come across Mount Vernon,you might just get an intention to stay.That happens a lot around here,and it’s worth noting how remarkable that is.Tom Wilkinson was born in Mount Vernon 87 years ago and moved back after he retired from his career as a college English professor in Dallas.Like many of his neighbors,Wilkinson can track his ancestors back to the pioneers who settled here in the 1870s.And like many,he values the simple life you can’t easily fi nd in big cities.“People are still polite.They hold the door open for you,” he says.“We grow strong roots here!”Preserving and honoring the past has been key to helping Mount Vernon survive.The residents have restored and reopened some of the empty stores,including the old barbershop,built more than 100 years ago.An old general store was turned into a combination space.Wander in on any given day and you might find a book club discussion,aCoffee Ladies meet-up,or a work session for the local genealogy(家谱) group among the tables of people chatting over cups of coffee and plates of food.Mount Vernon has the kind of big hearts you tend to find in a small town.For instance,when a local policeman was diagnosed with cancer last year,ten-year-old Lola McKellar set up a lemonade stand to raise money for his treatments.In ,when a 350-year flood sent water rushing into local homes,an army of volunteers showed up to get a wheelchair-bound neighbor and his wife to higher ground,and then came back to help rebuild.8.What does the author think of Mount Vernon?A.Remote.B.Wealthy.C.Primitive.D.Attractive.9.Why did Tom Wilkinson come back to Mount Vernon?A.He preferred the simple and natural life.B.He could continue his language teaching.C.He could live together with his ancestors.D.He could meet more neighbors of his age.10.What can we infer about people’s way of life in Mount Vernon from Paragraph 3?A.It is in danger of extinction.B.It is quickly changing over time.C.It is conservative but harmonious.D.It is being disturbed by the outside world.11.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The history of Mount Vernon.B.The humanity of Mount Vernon.C.The volunteers of Mount Vernon.D.The reconstruction of Mount Vernon.DIf a president,a philosopher,and one of the best-selling writers credited the same secret for their success,would you try to follow it too?What if the secret was something you already knew how to do?In fact,you probably do it every day.Here’s what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote:“It is only ideas gained from walkingthat have any worth.” Thomas Jefferson:“Walking is the best possible exercise.” Charles Dickens:“If I could not walk far and fast,I think I should just explode and die.”Researchers have found quite a lot of connections between walking and producing ideas.A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting.According to the study,walking outside—compared with on a treadmill(跑步机)—produces the most novel andhighest-quality ideas.The movement aspect of walking is obviously key.Our creative thinking is generated by physical movement,which is exactly why walking—with your dog,a friend,or alone—feeds creative thinking.The scenery is almost as important as the sweat.Breaking your routine with a walk can be a catalyst for fresh understanding of problems or projects.Just by going outside,you are stepping out of your familiar surroundings and your comfort zone,which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities.You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood.You can walk through a park andobserve people joking or birds singing.Being inside,you’re more likely to be lifeless,which means you don’t have enough energy to wonder or create.So instead of setting a fitness goal,why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking?Involve yourself more closely in your surroundings.Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world,to hear conversations and natural sounds,and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in puddle(小水坑).12.How does the author introduce the topic?A.By providing background.B.By borrowing phrases from great minds.C.By giving definition.D.By presenting well-known examples.13.The underlined word in Paragraph 4 means something .A.causing a changeB.stopping progressC.catching eyesD.interrupting creativity14.What can we learn from the passage?A.Nature eproves fitness.B.Walking on a treadmill brings more energy.C.Working indoors makes people less creative.D.Familiar surroundings encourage novel ideas.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Exercise in Nature.B.Train Your Brain.C.Develop Your Creativity.D.Walk for Wonder.Ⅱ.阅读七选五HelpingYourChildPrepareaSpeechPublic speaking doesn’t come naturally for everyone.Most people get nervous before giving a speech,and children are no exception. 1Thinkaboutthesubject.The best speeches are those that attract the audience with an interesting,relevant topic.Preparation will depend on whether your child has been given a specific topic or gets to choose one.Discussthestructureofaspeech.Your child’s assignment may vary,but in general,a speech should have an introduction,a developed and persuasive middle,and a conclusion. 2 Haveyourchilddraft(起草) thespeech.After you’ve chosen a theme,your child should write a rough draft of the speech. 3 Then point out any major problems,and make suggestions for improvement.4 Your child should revise his or her speech,using your suggestions for guidance.Teach your child how important this step is:the best writers and the best public speakers all draft,revise and revise again.Suggestvisualaids.Your child’s speech will be clearer and more effective with a few pictures,diagrams or slides(幻灯片).Remind your child to select these visual aidscarefully,choosing relevant images that will interest the audience.You can also point out,if your child is nervous,that good visual aids will take the audience’s eyes off the child. 5A.Prepare note cards.ter,you can check the draft.C.Teach the importance of

Probably not, according to researchers who reviewed data from 12 clinical trials involving about 54,000 people. In a series of controversial papers, the researchers argue that the increased health risks tied to red meat are small and uncertain, and that cutting back likely wouldn't be worth it for people who enjoy meat.Those conclusions go against established medical advice. They were swiftly attacked by a group of famous U.S. scientists who took the unusual step of trying to stop the papers from being published until their criticisms were addressed.The new work does not say red or processed meats like hot dogs and bacon are healthy, or that people should eat more of them. The team's reviews of past studies generally support the ties to cancer, heart disease and other bad health outcomes. But the authors say the evidence is weak, and that there's not much certainty meat is really the cause, since other diet and lifestyle factors could be at play.If the latest example of how divisive nutrition research has become, with its uncertainties leaving the door open for conflicting advice. Critics say findings often aren't backed by strong evidence. Defenders counter that nutrition studies can rarely be conclusive because of the difficulty of measuring the effects of any single food, but that methods have improved.Based on their analyses, the researchers said people do not have to cut back for health reasons. But they noted that their own advice is weak, and acknowledged that they didn't consider factors such as animal welfare and the environment. Indeed, the case that meat production is bad for animal welfare and the environment is stronger than the case that it's bad for human health, according to an editorial that accompanies the report.Not all of the report authors agreed with its conclusions. Three of the 14 researchers said they support reducing red and processed meats. A coauthor of one of the reviews is also among those who called for a publication delay.Those who pushed to postpone publication also questioned why certain studies were included in the reviews while others were left out.As for his own diet, Dr. Gordon Guyatt, a member of the international research team that conducted the reviews, said he no longer thinks red or processed meats have significant health risks. But he said he still avoids them out of habit, and for animal welfare and environmental reasons.(1)What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A.To introduce a new relationship between health and eating red meat.B.To urge more people to keep away from eating red meat regularly.C.To present a new controversial view on impacts of eating red meat.D.To criticize nutrition studies for lacking of conclusive evidence.(2)What is the author's attitude towards the new research?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Disapproving.D.Objective.(3)Guyatt's avoiding red meats has the weakest connection with_______.A.health risksB.diet habitsC.animal welfareD.environmental protection(4)What can we learn from the recent research?A.Red meats don't have significant health risks.B.Reducing meat consumption will be worth it.C.The report authors have reached a consensus.D.Consuming red meat will do good to health.【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)A(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,作者对于吃红肉是否与癌症和心脏病有关引用了研究发现、结果、例子等客观数据和事实来写这篇文章。

When I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked.“Some clothes and food,” I replied.“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off — shoes, socks, underwear and all —and shouted, “Can I go now?”“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches. A pile of dried-up brown needles were beneath the tree, and you can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.“It’s Billy! Let me in!”The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.”Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”The door opened and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.“What’s for supper?” I smiled back.1.

The moves were a gesture of support after the firm's chief financial officer was arrested in Canada in early December at the request of the United States.Huawei's booming sales show how major parts of its business continue to increase even as the United States tries to persuade other countries to shut Huawei products out of 5G wireless networks and pursues(追究) criminal charges against it. The company expects to overtake Samsung as the world's biggest smartphone maker by next year.Huawei sold 30 million phones in China in the last three months of 2018, nearly three times as many as Apple(AAPL), according to data published this week by research firms Canalys and IDC. Apple's sales plunged almost 20%.Huawei's success in China, the world's largest smartphone market, is more than about geopolitics(地缘政治). Chinese consumers love its flagship, high -end- phones because they have great cameras, cutting edge technology and cost less than the latest iPhones, according to analysts. And by offering a selection of cheaper phones, Huawei is able to target a bigger market. It also benefited from the troubles this year at ZTE (ZTCOF), a rival Chinese smartphone and telecommunications equipment maker. ZTE was banned by the US government from buying vital American parts for months last year.(1)Why did Huawei's China sales increase greatly according to the article?A. Because the company's devices are always popular worldwide.B. Because Chinese consumers' patriotism was aroused.C. Because the government encourages people to buy Huawei devices.D. Because the country's overall market for smartphones is getting bigger.(2)What can we conclude from the third paragraph?A. Huawei's chief financial officer was arrested in Canada due to the US's request.B. All Chinese companies showed their support to Huawei with their purchase.C. Jusy Hong thought the United States arrested Huawei's chief financial officer.D. Jusy Hong thought the arrest of Huawei's chief financial officer is unfair.(3)How do you understand the underlined word in the fifth paragraph?A. increased greatly by.B. reduced greatly to.C. dropped greatly by.D. remained steady.(4)Why is Huawei's success in China more than about geopolitics?A. Because Huawei has the largest smartphone market in the world.B. Because Huawei's success is only limited within China mainland.C. Because Huawei has the ability to target a bigger market in the world.D. Because Chinese consumers are quite satisfied with Huawei smartphones.【答案】(1)B(2)A(3)C(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了华为公司在手机市场日益缩小的中国仍然火爆的原因。

It is probably the strangest sportanyone has ever invented. And at firstsight, it looks like the easiest.Competitors have to do two things. Thefirst is to stand still. The second is toplace their hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.This is where things start getting difficult. Lots of people are doing the same thing. And the winner of the“handathon”contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time. That person gets to own the car.It still seems to be an easy thing to do. At the beginning it is. Anyone can stand still. But when the contest has been going for four or five days, standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world. And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention. After a few days, the hand seems to belong to someone else—someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat, drink or do whatever else is necessary. No one is allowed to lean on the car for support. Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention. They also need to be able to develop special skills.Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter. Entrants in the Longview handathon certainly don’t seem to do much preparation. Most say they will prepare by“getting lots of sleep”. Others say they will“eat healthy food”or“pray for success”. The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.Handathons are competitions, but there is little rivalry(敌对)between competitors. They help each other out and keep each other’s spirits up. People who drop out early return with food, drink and encouragement.【文章大意】双手放在车身任何部位, 静立不动, 你能坚持多久? 本文介绍了一项看似简单, 实则类似于马拉松的运动形式“handathon”。

There were smiling children all the way. Charily they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johor Bauru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight, Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave hack.From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before.

These are some ideas that some people came up with about what the life will be like in the year 2500:We will have established a base on the moon.School kids can take field trips to the moon weekly.We will have found cures(疗法)for AIDS and cancer.The war will have ended and peace flows freely through the land.Kids will learn more and be smarter than ever before! History will be the main subject at school.Cafeteria(自助餐厅)food will be delicious!

I have to wake up at midnight every day and fly my ear to the store.It takes so long to get there.It takes me 20 seconds to get to the store in Mississippi from my home in Florida! At work,I have to push 5 buttons and then I go home.It takes 2 seconds and that is like forever.—MorganIn the year 2500,I think we will have invented cars that run on things we don't need like garbage.T ail gas will smell like whatever you like such as chocolate.I also predict that buildings will be able to go into a different dimension(维)so your car won't hit them.The cars in 2500 don't fly,for we haven't got that technology yet,but they can hover(盘旋)up to seven feet.These cars are made for speed!——CarlyInstead of cars,we may have hovering devices that float around.We could also have electric cars instead of gas powered cars.Food might be more healthy.What I believe is that the environment will change the most. The environmental changes will also determine many other changes.If more people try to help the environment,then perhaps in 2500 we will have more forests and wildlife.If people won't help the environment,then we will have no forests andlittle wildlife left—Roberta1.According to Kristen,what will happen in 2500?A.English will be the main subject at school.B.Students can go to the moon every week.C.Cafeteria will replace other restaurants.D.AIDS and cancer will disappear.答案:B 细节理解题。

(原创)“Did you come alone or with your parents? ”When Tsinghua University’s new 2013 freshmen arrived on campus late last month, the first question they were faced with at the registration desk was the above. According to statistics, we know that more than half of the 539 students came alone. Chen Jining, president of Tsinghua University, encouraged them to “start this new adventure by standing on your own two feet”.To help freshmen grow up, some universities have thought of new methods. At Tsinghua, for example, freshmen need to register and find their dormitory by themselves. The process requires two to three hours, during which volunteers take parents on a tour of the campus. At Zhejiang University, a banner hanging in the information center says“Parents let go please; let us guide your children. ”“Often parents like to do things or make decisions for their children. In their eyes, children never grow up, ”said Lu Guodong, dean(系主任)of undergraduate studies at Zhejiang University. “But at university, growing up is the goal for all students. Growing up is the biggest success. In China, students grow up too slowly as parents are always in charge. Students never think about what path they should take and why, ”he said.Zhang Yanxue, a senior student studying Chinese language and literature at the Communication University of China, is president of the Self-improvement Society. Although most students can finish the registration process by themselves, th eir parents usually prefer accompanying them to the university. “This is the third time I’ve welcomed freshmen and I didn’t see much change in that regard, ”Zhang said. “The number of students who came alone is the same as in previous years. ”Sometimes, however, the distance between university and home is so great that many parents are too worried to let their children travel alone. To reassure parents, Renmin University of China introduced a new method. It asks senior students to return to their hometown and accompany freshmen back to the campus. This helps freshmen get used to living independently.“Students should have an independent character and a dream. Learning how to use that independent character to achieve their dreams and finish tasks assigned b y the country is very important, ”said Tsinghua University President Chen.【文章大意】9月第一周, 各大高校已陆续进入开学季。

The "Earth Hour" initiative(自发行动) started in Australia' s biggest city Sydney last year when an estimated 2. 2 million people flicked the switch --- leaving the Sydney Opera House bathed in moonlight and the Harbor Bridge blacked out.Organizer Andy Ridley said Sydney ' s 60 minutes of darkness generated huge interest around the world and 23 other cities from the Asia Pacific, North America, Europe and the Middle East had now signed up to be part of the 2008 event.The eight latest cities to join "Earth Hour" are Atlanta, San Francisco and Phoenix in the US; Thailand's capital Bangkok; Ottawa, Vancouver and Montreal in Canada and Dublin in Ireland. They joined Australian cities Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, Adelaide; Denmark's Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg and Odense; the Philippine capital Manila, Fiji ' s biggest city Suva. Christchurch in New Zealand; Chicago; Tel Aviv and Toronto.Ridley said he expected the "Earth Hour" concept, which is managed by the conservation group WWF, to extend beyond the borders of these countries on the scheduled start time of 8:00 p. m. local time on Saturday March 29.“ I think it already has become much bigger," he said. "The idea was that any one could do it, whether they were in a small village in France or a city like Sydney. "Ridley said the Sydney event, in which residents were asked to switch off lights and appliances for one hour, had raised awareness about the problem of global warming while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by conserving energy."I know that on the night we thought we might be able to cut energy use in the city by five percent but it ended up being 10. 1 percent," he said.He said he hoped Earth Hour provided a "very big visual message" to politicians that climate change must be addressed quickly.“The problem is massive but we do make a difference when we all take action," he said.1. The purpose of the "Earth Hour" activity is _____ .A. to conserve energyB. to change the climateC. to reduce the greenhouse gas emissionsD. to draw people' s attention to the global warming2. The underlined word "flick" in paragraph 1 means ______.A. switch onB. switch offC. move quicklyD. hit quickly3. Which city doesn’t join the black-out organization?A. Bangkok.B. Manchester.C. Montreal.D. Brisbane.4. From the passage we can learn that_____ .A. the black-out activity will have a great effect on climate changeB. the " Earth Hour" initiative first began in the capital of AustraliaC. all the countries in the world become interested in the black-out activityD. the black-out activity has already caught politician' s attention to the climate change1、答案解析:答案为C。

一轮复习最新高考英语阅读理解专题练习(及答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解At first, Michael Surrell didn't see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors' home. He and his wife had just parked around the corner from their own house in Allentown, Pennsylvania, when they got a call from one of his daughters, "The house next door is on fire!" He went to investigate. That's when he saw two women and a girl hysterical (歇斯底里的)on their porch."The baby's in there!" one of the women cried. Though the fire department had been called, Surrell, then 64, instinctively ran inside. "The baby" was 8-year-old Tiara Roberts, the woman's granddaughter and a playmate of Surrell's three youngest kids, then 8, 10, and 12. The other two on the porch were Tiara's aunt and cousin.Entering the burning house was like "running into a bucket of black paint," Surrell says. The thick smoke caused him to stumble blindly around, burned his eyes, and made it impossible to breathe. The conditions would have been hazardous for anyone, but for Surrell, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (慢性阻塞性肺疾病), they were life-threatening. He was the last person who should have run into a burning building--- he has lung disease. But that didn't stop him.After a few minutes in the smoke filled house, he retreated outside to catch his breath. "Where is Tiara?" he asked desperately." The second floor." her aunt shouted back.Surrell knew he couldn't hold his breath for long. So he uttered a little prayer, "Well, Lord, this is it. You gotta help me, because I'm not coming out without that little girl." Taking a deep breath, he went in a second time.The darkness was overwhelming. Yet because the house had a similar layout to his, he found the stairs and made it to the second floor. He turned to the right and was met by intense heat. He was already out of breath."Baby girl, where are you?" His throat and lungs burned as if he'd inhaled fire instead of the smoke and soot in the air. Every blink stung his eyes. All he could hear was the crackling and popping of burning wood. ①.Still unable to see, Surrell fell to his knees on the hot wood floor. He crawled toward the sound, feeling around for any sign of the girl. An ominous thought crossed his mind: I'm probably gonna die up here.Finally he touched something. A shoe, then an ankle. He pulled Tiara toward him. ②Her body was limp and she wasn't breathing. He scooped her into his arms and stood. He felt the heat of the flames on his cheeks. Turning, he fought through the smoke and ran blindly into the blackness. The next thing he knew, he was at the front door, then outside. Surrell put Tiara down on the porch.③. A voice told him, "You have to breathe for her." He started CPR -the first time he'd ever done so. The women stood behind him, praying silently. Soon a soot-filled cough came from Tiara's throat. Surrell gave five more breaths. She coughed again. Her eyes flickered. He gave one final breath. She opened her eyes and took a breath on her own.④.Their eyes met. Surrell hugged her tight and said, "Uncle's got you." Soon after, his throat closed off.Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later, having suffered severe burns to his windpipe and the upper portion of his lungs. He spent over a week in the hospital. Tiara was released from the hospital after a few days. The fire exacerbated Surrell's pulmonary condition, and he feels the effects even two years later. As a result, he takes extra medication that helps open his airways. "It's a small price to pay," he says. "I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Wouldn't giveit a second thought."(1)Michael Surrell ran to save "the baby" mainly because______.A.he was on the scene casuallyB.he was driven by instinctC.his daughter was in dangerD.his own house was at risk(2)Why should Surrell be the last person to run into a burning building?A.The fire department had been called.B.He was 64 years old at that time.C.The condition was life-threatening.D.He had chronic pulmonary disease.(3)In the course of rescue, Surrell______.A.had to move out for breath because of smokeB.was prevented by the overwhelming smokeC.made it to the second floor without any troubleD.could clearly hear the sound made by the baby(4)Which blank could the sentence "Then a weak but distinct voice emerged" be best put in?A.①B.②C.③D.④(5)From the last paragraph, we can learn that______. .A.Surrell came back to life a week laterB.Tiara had to stay in hospital for weeksC.Surrell's disease became more seriousD.Tiara needed further extra medication(6)What can be a suitable title for the passage?A.Breathe for HerB.Struggle to surviveC.A small price to payD.A man with lung disease【答案】(1)B(2)D(3)A(4)A(5)C(6)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,一个患有慢性阻塞性肺疾病的人不顾个人安危去邻居家着火的房子里成功救出小女孩,因此造成他肺部疾病加重,但是他对自己所做的从不后悔。

Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect.But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled-to $1.01 per pack-smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to kick the habit.This is not a surprise to public health advocates.They've studied the effect of state tax increases for years,finding that smokers,especially teens,are price sensitive.Nor is it a shock to the industry,which fiercely fights every tax increase.The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message.Tobacco taxes improve public health,they raise money and most particularly,they deter people from taking up the habit as teens,which is when nearly all smokers are addicted.Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.In Manhattan,for instance,which has the highest tax in the nation,a pack of Marlboro Light Kings,cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday.In Charleston,S.C.,where the 7 cent a pack tax is the lowest in the nation,the price was $4.78.The influence is obvious.In New York,high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys-13.8%,far below the national average.By comparison,26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky.Other low tax states have similarly depressing teen smoking records.Hal Rogers,Representative from Kentucky,like those who are against high tobacco taxes,argues that the burden of the tax falls onlow income Americans “who choose to smoke.”That's true.But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low income workers from getting hooked in the first place.As for today's adults,if the new tax drives them to quit,they will have more to spend on their families,cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.【语篇解读】烟草税增加后,取得了立竿见影的效果——许多烟民纷纷戒烟。

一轮复习最新高考英语阅读理解专题练习(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Have you ever imagined what it would be like to see the world through an animal's eyes? For example, what a chimpanzee sees as it sits at the top of a tree, or a penguin's view as it dives into the sea to catch its dinner?These questions are answered in the nature documentary Animals with Cameras, produced by the BBC. The three-part series was first aired in the UK last month. To explore animal stories "told" by the animals themselves, the documentary's filmmakers worked with scientists to develop cameras that wild animals could wear."Never before have we seen such high-quality footage (连续镜头)directly from the animal's point of view, " BBC Nature executive producer Fred Kaufman told PBS." This miniseries greatly expands our comprehension of animal behavior and this camera technology opens up new possibilities for discovering so much more."Indeed, the groundbreaking technology provides a new viewpoint of the animal kingdom. New cameras with enough battery life to shoot for hours at a time were designed to be comfortable enough for animals to wear, according to the documentary's camera designer Chris Watts.The technical challenges didn't stop there. Some animals were very curious about the equipment, with some even fighting each other for the chance to wear a camera. In the case of chimpanzees, "we had to create dummy (仿造的)cameras, so that every chimpanzee could get one", the miniseries' wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan told Live Science.For animals that were comfortable enough to be with human beings, the cameras could be fitted and removed by hand. But for others, the cameras came off automatically using a timed release and were collected afterward. This meant that the cameras needed to be as tough as possible.To avoid disturbing the animals, scientists who were good at dealing with wildlife came to help by putting the cameras on the animals." The last thing we want to do is cause them distress." the documentary's producer Dan Rees told the BBC. "To follow an animal in the first place, there had to be a clear benefit in terms of knowledge about it that might be useful to protecting a species in the future.Their efforts certainly paid off. " Footage that captures (捕捉)these rare and exciting glimpses of animals bidden habits is important to scientists, but documentaries like Animals with Cameras also resonate with (引起共鸣)audiences, connecting them with the beauty - and danger - of wildlife in their natural environments," Live Science noted.(1)According to the text, Animals with Cameras .A.is a documentary made by wildlife expertsB.presents high-quality footage of animals for the first timeC.shows wildlife from the unique viewpoint of animalsD.mainly records the life of chimpanzees and penguins(2)The case of chimpanzees is used to .A.reflect the weakness of the camera technologyB.present how filmmakers put cameras on chimpanzeesC.explain why chimpanzees were attracted by the equipmentD.show how filmmakers dealt with the challenges in shooting(3)To avoid disturbing the animals, filmmakers .A.set up a protected area for them to live inB.invited scientists to help equip them with camerasC.made the cameras look like animals in disguiseD.fitted and removed the cameras by hand(4)The author's attitude toward the documentary can be described as .A.changingB.supportiveC.cautiousD.pessimistic【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)B(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了研究人员使用最新的相机技术,让人们从动物的视角看世界。

【2016高考训练】One thinks of princes and presidents as some of the most powerful people in the world; however, governments, elected or otherwise, sometimes have had to struggle with the financial powerhouses called tycoons. The word tycoon is relatively new to the English language. It is Chinese in origin but was given as a title to some Japanese generals. The term was brought to the United States, in the late nineteenth century, where it eventually was used to refer to magnates who acquired immense fortunes from sugar and cattle, coal and oil, rubber and steel, and railroads. Some people called these tycoons “capitals of industry” and praised them for their contributions to U.S. wealth and international reputation. Others criticized them as cruel “robber barons”, who woul d stop at nothing in pursuit of personal wealth.The early tycoons built successful businesses, often taking over smaller companies to eliminate competition. A single company that came to control an entire market was called a monopoly. Monopolies made a few families very wealthy, but they also placed a heavy financial burden on consumers and the economy at large.As the country expanded and railroads linked the East Coast to the West Coast, local monopolies turned into national corporations called trusts. A trust is a group of companies that join together under the control of a board of trustees. Railroad trusts are an excellent example. Railroads were privately owned and operated and often monopolized various routes, setting rates as high as they desired. The financial burden this placed on passengers and businesses increased when railroads formed trusts. Farmers, for example, had no choice but to pay, as railroads were the only means they could use to get their grain to buyers. Exorbitant (过高的) goods rates put some farmers out of business.There were even accusations that the trusts controlled government itself by buying votes and manipulating elected officials. In 1890 Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust. Act, legislation aimed at breaking the power of such trusts. The Sherman Antitrust Act focused on two main issues. First of all, it made illegal any effort to interfere with the normal conduct of interstate trade. It also made it illegal to monopolize any part of business that operates across state lines.Over the next 60 years or so, Congress passed other antitrust laws in an effort to encourage competition and restrict the power of larger corporations.1. The Sherman Antitrust Act_______________.A. affected only the companies doing business within state linesB. sought to eliminate monopolies in favor of competition in the market-placeC. promoted trade with a large number of nationsD. provides a financial advantage to the buyer2. One might infer from this passage that lower prices _________.A. are more likely to exist in a competitive market economyB. usually can be found only in an economy based on monopoliesC. matter only to people who are poor and living below the poverty levelD. are regulated by the government3. It seems likely that many Americans____________.A. believed that the trusts had little influence over governmentB. expected the wealthy magnates to share money with the poorC. did little to build up American businessD. were worried that trusts might manipulate the government参考答案1—3、BAD阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
