高三英语阅读理解题训练及答案详解第一篇:Imagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678 000 square kilometers. So it might bedifficult to imagine anything twice as big.All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It weighs about 3 500 000 tons. The waste includes bags,bottles and containers—plastic products of all kinds.The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about l 600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert,with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world collects there.In recent years,there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste,resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces ofplastic. The trash can also make animals feel full,lessening their desire to eat or drink.The floating garbage also can have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste,and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.Its existence first gained public attention in l997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier,another oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.In August,2009,a team from the University of California,San Diego became thelatest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch’s effec t on ocean environment.51.How did the writer introduce the topic of the passage?A. By giving an example.B. By listing the facts.C. By telling a story.D. By giving a parison.52.What do we know about the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A. It is made up of various kinds of plastic products.B. It is a solid mass of floating waste materials.C. It lies l60 000 kilometers east of California.D. It is described as a kind of oceanic desert.53.Why do people pay attention to the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A. Because it may prevent the flow of ocean water.B. Because the polluted plastic articles will move up the food chain.C. Because it may be from an island in the pacific.D. Because ships may be trapped in the floating waste.54.Which column can you find the passage on a newspaper?A. Sports and entertainment.B. Media and culture.C. Environment and society.D. Science and technology.55.The purpose of writing this passage isto____________.A. warn people of the danger to travel in the pacificB. analyze what caused the waste patch in the pacificC. give advice on how to recycle waste in the oceanD. introduce the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch第二篇:Europeans should try to stay indoors if ash from Iceland's volcano starts settling, the World Health Organization warned Friday as small amounts fell in Iceland, Scotland and Norway.WHO spokesman Daniel Epstein said the microscopic(微小的) ash is potentially dangerous for people when it starts to reach the Earth because inhaled(吸入) particles can enter the lungs and cause respiratory problems. And he also said Europeans who go outside might want to consider wearing a mask.Other experts, however, weren't convinced the volcanic ash would have a major effect on peoples' health and said WHO's warnings were "hysterical." They said volcanic ash was much less dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution. Volcanic ash is made of fine particles of fragmented volcanic rock. It is light gray to black and can be as fine as talcum powder. During a volcanic eruption, the ash can be breathed deep into the lungs and cause irritation even in healthy people. But once it falls from a greater distance — like from the cloud currently hovering above Europe — its health effects are often minimal, experts say."Not all particles are created equal," said Ken Donaldson, a professor of respiratory toxicology at the University of Edinburgh, "In the great scheme of things, volcanic ash is not all that harmful." And he said most Europeans' exposure to volcanic ash would be negligible and that only those in the near districts of the Icelandic volcano would likely be at risk.Dr. Stephen Spiro, a professor of respiratory medicine and deputy chair of the British Lung Foundation, said the further the particles travel, the less dangerous they will be. "The cloud has already passed over northern Scotland and we haven't heard of any ill effects there," he said. Spiro said to wear masks or stay indoors to avoid volcanic ash was "over the top" and "a bit hysterical."60. The text is mainly about .A. the effect of volcanic ashB. the health risk of volcanic ashC. the disadvantages of volcanic ashD. the opinions on health risk of volcanic ash61. Which one is true according to Paragraph3?A. The volcanic ash’s effects on Europeans were little.B. The ash caused irritation even in healthy people.C. Other experts thought WTO’S warnings were useful.D. The volcanic ash was more dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution.62. The underlined word “hysterical” in Paragraph4 most probably means .A. amazingB. practicalC. valuableD. overstated63. What can we learn from the passage?A. The volcanic ash wouldn’t be harmful to people.B. All experts thought the volcanic ash did great harm to our health.C. People close to the volcano would likely be at risk according to some experts.D. Europeans should stay indoors because Iceland's volcano starts settling.第一篇:51.D。

高三英语阅读理解解题训练及答案第一篇:It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own ,and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around,and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached,and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn't last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now,the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.1. From Paragraph 1,we learn that thevillagers________.A. worked very hard for centuriesB. dreamed of having a better lifeC. were poor but somewhat contentD. lived a different life from their forefathers2. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?A. The frogs were easy money.B. They needed money to buy medicine.C. They wanted to please the visitors.D. The frogs made too much noise.3. What might be the cause of the children's sickness?A. The crops didn't do well.B. There were too many insects.C. The visitors brought in diseases.D. The pesticides were overused.4. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?A. Happiness es from peaceful life in the country.B. Health is more important than money.C. The harmony between man and nature is important.D. Good old days will never be forgotten.第二篇:Somali pirates (海盗) robbed three Thai fishing ships with 77 sailors on board nearly 1,200 miles off the Somali coast, the farthest-off-shore attack to date, an officer said Tuesday.Pirates have gone farther south and east in answer to increased patrols(巡逻) by warships off the Somali shore. The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the international force, said a spokesman.The spokesman said the attack so far out at sea was a clear sign that the international patrols against pirates were having a “marked effect on pirateactivity in the area”.“Once they start attacking that far out, you're not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia.” said an officer, Roger Middleton. “Once you're that far out, it's just the Indian Ocean,and it means you're looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia, from Asia to South Africa.”“This is the farthest robb ing to date. They are now operating near the Maldives and India.” said another officer.The three ships-the MV Prantalay 11,12,and 14-had 77 members on board in total. All of them are Thai, the spokesman said. Before the Sunday robbing, pirates held 11 ships and 228 sailors.Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes of catching more dollar payments. Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships, the success rate(率) has gone down, though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year.1. The pirate attack reported in the texthappened________.A. far out in the Indian OceanB. in the normal patrol areaC. near the Somali coastD. in the south of Africa2. According to the text, which can best describe the situation of the pirate problems?A. More goods on board are lost.B. Pirate attacks happen in a larger area now.C. The number of attacks has stayed the same these years.D. Pirate attacks are as serious as before along the Somali coast.3. Which is TRUE about the warship patrols according to the text?A. The patrols are of little effect.B. The patrols are more difficult.C. More patrols are quite necessary even in Asia.D. The patrols only drive the pirates to other areas.4. How many sailors were held by the pirates up to the time of the report?A. 228.B. 77.C. 383.D. 305.第一篇:本篇文章为记叙文。

高三英语高考练习阅读理解之社会生活类(一)通用

现吨市安达阳光实验学校Passage 1The latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not I.Q., a generally bad predictor of success. Instead, it’s purposeful practice. Top performers spend more hours practising their craft. It you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you’d take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldn’t have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally shared some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same family background, or shared the same birthday.This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would hive her some idea of a fascinating circle who might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary knowledge of her field. She’s be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings.Then she would practise writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused. By practising in this way, he delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into unconscious. Automatically performed skills. By practising slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream of feedback, viewing her performance form the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems-how do I get characters into a room-dozens and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon in order to understand or solve future problems.The primary quality our young writer possesses is not some mysterious genius. It’s the ability to develop a purposeful, laborious and boring practice routine; the latest research takes some of the magic out of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public discussion is affected by genetics and what we’re “hard-wired” to do. And it’s true that genes play a role in our capabilities. But the brain is also very plastic. We construct ourselves through behaviour.76. The passage mainly deals with_____.A. the function of I.Q. in cultivating a writerB. the relationship between genius and successC. the decisive factor in making a geniusD. the way of gaining some sense of distinction77. By reading novels and writers’ stories, the girlcould _____.A. come to understand the inner structure of writingB. join a fascinating circle of writers somedayC. share with a novelist her likes and dislikesD. learn from the living examples to establish a sense of security78. In the girl’s lon g painstaking training process,________.A. her adviser forms a primary challenging force to her success.B. her writing turns into an automatic pattern of performanceC. she acquires the magic of some great achievementD. she comes to realize she is “hard-wired” to write79. What can be concluded from the passage?A. A fuelling ambition plays a leading role in one’s successB. A responsible adviser is more important than the knowledge of writing.C. As to the growth of a genius, I.Q. Doesn’t matter, but just his|her effort.D. What really matters is what you do rather than who you are.答案 76.C 77.A 78.B 79.DPassage 2Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.Recite and repeat in conversation.When you hear a person’s name,repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.Ask the other person to recite and repeat.You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone,ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.Admit you don’t know.Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”Use associations.Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example,you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair. " To reinforce you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering justtwo or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others-an automatic review for you.56. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?A. They will be moved.B. They will be annoyed.C. They will be delighted.D. They will be discouraged.57. If you can't remember someone's name, you may __A. tell him the truthB. tell him a white lieC. ask him for pityD. ask others to help you58. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember __A. all their namesB. a couple of names firstC. just their last namesD. as many names as possible59. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Tips on an important social skill.B. Importance of attending parties.C. How to make use of associations.D. How to recite and repeat names.答案 56.C 57.A 58.B 59.APassage 3When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance ,the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list . Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先)。

为⼤家整理的⾼三英语寒假作业阅读理解⽂章,供⼤家学习参考!更多最新信息请点击ACompassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into actions. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are out main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register(收款机)with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash (现⾦), had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Change it to me, ” was all he said.What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.56. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits_________ .A.hoped to have the food first and pay laterB.promised to obey the store rulesC.forgot to take any money with himD.could not afford anything more expensive57. Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?A.kind and luckyB.friendly and helpfulC.poor and lonelyD.hurt and disappointed58. The writer acted upon the store rules because_________ .A.he felt no pity for the old gentlemanB.he considered the old man dishonestC.he expected someone else to pay for the old manD.he wanted to keep his present job59. What does the writer learn from his experience?A.Wealth is more important than anything elseB.Experience is better gained through practiceC.Obeying the rules means more than compassion.D.Helping others is easier said than doneBBlamelessI was a freshman in college when I met the Whites. They were completely different from my own family, yet I felt at home with them immediately. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened.“Who did this? ”my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen.“This is all your fault, Katharine, ”my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke.From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other. We set a place for blame at the dinner table.But the Whites didn’t worry about who had done what. They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had recently turned sixteen. Proud of having a new driver’s license(驾照),Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her license to everyone she met. The big sisters shared the driving of Sarah’s new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less crowded areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or just didn’t see the sign no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping. The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car.Jane was killed immediately.I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that I’ve ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had a few cuts on the head; Amy’s leg was broken. They hugged(拥抱)us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls’ tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches(拐杖).To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, “We’re so glad that you’re alive. ”I was astonished. No blame. No accusations.Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.Mrs. White said, “Jane’s gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister’s death? ”They were right. Amy graduated from the University of California and got married several years ago. She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. She’s also a mother of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.60. How did the accident occur?A. Amy didn’t know what to do when she saw the stop sign.B. Amy didn’t slow down so their car ran into a truck.C. Amy didn’t stop at a crossroads and a truck hit their car.D. Amy didn’t get off the highway at a crossroads.61. The Whites did not blame Amy for Jane’s death because _____.A. Amy was badly injured herself and they didn’t want to add to her painB. they didn’t want to blame their children in front of othersC. they didn’t want Amy to feel ashamed and sorry for the rest of her lifeD. Amy was their youngest daughter and they loved her best62. From the passage we can learn that _____.A. Amy has lived quite a normal lifeB. Amy has never recovered from the shockC. Amy changed her job after the accidentD. Amy lost her memory after the accidentCA rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below 16℃.Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate.Without the forest cover,these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere,warming the rest of the world.Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns,potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.In the past hundred years,humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources(资源):land for crops,wood for paper and other products,land for raising farm animals.This action affects the environment as a whole.For example,a lot of carbon dioxide(⼆氧化碳)in the air comes from burning the rainforests.People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this.Firstly,when people cut down trees,generally they can only use the land for a year or two.Secondly,cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now,but in the long run it actually reduces the world's wood supply.Rainforests are often called the world's drug store.More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests.However,fewer than 1%of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value.It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world's shrinking rainforests.63.Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they ______.A.reflect more heat into the atmosphereB.reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earthC.bring about high rainfall throughout the worldD.rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than 16℃64.What does the word“this”underlined in the third paragraph refer to?A.Humans have begun destroying rainforests.B.People have a strong desire for resources.C.We will lose much more than we can gain.D.Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.65.It can be inferred from the text that ______.A.we can get enough resources without rainforestsB.we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained landC.the level of annual rainfall affects wind patternsD.there is great medicine potential in rainforests66.What might be the best title for the text?A.Rainforests and the EnvironmentB.How to Save RainforestsC.How to Protect NatureD.Rainforests and Medical DevelopmentDThe Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically(⾝体上).Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤)instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分).

2023年北京重点校高三(上)期末英语汇编:阅读理解C篇

2023年北京重点校高三(上)期末英语汇编阅读理解C篇一、阅读理解(2023秋·北京顺义·高三统考期末)For astronomers who are sighted, the Universe is full of visual wonders. From shimmering planets to shinning galaxies(星系), the universe is impressively beautiful. But those who are visually impaired cannot share that experience. So astronomers have been developing alternative ways to convey(传递)scientific information.Recently, the journal Nature Astronomy published the latest in a series of articles on the use of sonification in astronomy. Sonification describes the change of data into digital audio(声音)files, which allows them to be heard, as well as read and seen.In August, Kimberly Arcand, a data-visualization expert and science communicator at the Center for Astrophysics and others transformed some of the first images of the black hole at the centre of the Perseus cluster from the James Webb Space Telescope into sound. They worked under the guidance of people who are blind to map the intensity and colours of light in the headline-grabbing pictures into audio. The sonification of an image of gas and dust in a distant nebula(星云), for instance, uses loud high-frequency sounds to represent bright light near the top of the image, but lower-frequency loud sounds to represent bright light near the image’s centre. The black hole sonification translates data on sound waves travelling through space-created by the black hole’s impact on the hot gas that surrounds it-into the range of human hearing.Scientists in other fields have also experimented with data sonification. Some have explored whether it can help with discovering Alzheimer’s disease from brain scans. Sound has even been used to describe ecological shifts caused by climate change in an Alaskan forest, with researchers assigning various musical instruments to different tree species.In the long run, such approaches need to be strictly evaluated to determine what they can offer that other techniques cannot. For all the technical accuracy displayed in individual projects, the Nature Astronomy series points out that there are no universally accepted standards for sonifying scientific data, and little published work that evaluates its effectiveness.1.What does the underlined word “impaired” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?A.Appealing. B.Damaged. C.Directed. D.Impressive.2.The examples in Paragraph 4 are intended to ______.A.show the widespread use of sonificationB.introduce the common process of sonificationC.provide people with the cure for particular diseasesD.improve the application of sonification to more fields3.As for sonification, which would the author agree with?A.The use of sonification helps to analyze data effectively.B.The standardization of sonification has yet to be achieved.C.Sonification can transform some data that other techniques cannot.D.Lower-frequency sounds show bright light near the top of the image.(2023秋·北京朝阳·高三统考期末)Finland was known as a rather quiet country. Since 2008, the Country Brand Delegation (国家品牌代表团) has been looking for a national brand that would make some noise to market the country as a world-famous tourist destination. In 2010, the Delegation issued a “Country Brand Report,” which highlighted a host of marketable themes, including Finland’s famous educational system. One key theme was brand new: silence. As the report explained, modern society often seems intolerably loud and busy. “Silence is a resource,” it said.Silence first appeared in scientific research as a control or baseline, against which scientists compare the effects of noise or music. Researchers have mainly studied it by accident, as physician Luciano Bernardi did in his study of the physiological (生理学) effects of music. “We didn’t think about the effect of silence,” he said. Bernardi observed two dozen test subjects while they listened to six musical tracks. He found that the impacts of music could be read directly in the bloodstream, via changes in blood pressure, carbon dioxide, and circulation in the brain. “During almost all sorts of music, there was a physiological change with a condition of arousal (兴奋),” he explained.This effect made sense, given that active listening requires attention. But the more striking finding appeared between musical tracks. Bernardi and his colleagues discovered that randomly added stretches of silence also had a great effect, but in the opposite direction. In fact, two-minute silent pauses proved far more relaxing than either “relaxing” music or a longer silence played before the experiment started. The blank pauses that Bernardi had considered irrelevant, in other words, became the most interesting object of study. Silence seemed to be heightened by contrasts, maybe because it gave test subjects a release from careful attention. “Perhaps the arousal is something that concentrates the mind in one direction, so that when there is nothing more arousing, then you have deeper relaxation,” he said.This finding is reinforced by neurological (神经系统的) research. Relevant research shows when our brains rest quietly, they integrate external and internal information into “a conscious (意识的) workspace.” Freedom from noise and goal-directed tasks, it appears, unites the quiet without and within, allowing our conscious workspace to do its thing to discover where we fit in.Noora Vikman, a consultant on silence for Finland’s marketers, knows silence well. Living in a remote and quiet place in Finland, she discovers thoughts and feelings that aren’t detectable in her busy daily life. “If you want to know yourself, you have to be with yourself, and discuss with yourself, and be able to talk with yourself.” 4.Why does the author mention the Country Brand Report in Paragraph 1?A.To present how Finland viewed silence.B.To highlight the need of noise in Finland.C.To explain why Finland issued the brands.D.To indicate the authority of the Delegation.5.What can be inferred about Luciano Bernardi’s discovery?A.It challenged the calming effect of music.B.It emphasized the role of silence between sounds.C.It illustrated the loss of attentiveness after silence.D.It stated brains’ information processing in the quiet.6.As for Noora Vikman’s attitude to silence, the author is ________.A.doubtful B.supportive C.disapproving D.unconcerned7.Which would be the best title for the passage?A.Silence: A Limited Resource B.Silence: A Misunderstood ToolC.Silence: The Unexpected Power D.Silence: The Value by Contrasts(2023秋·北京通州·高三统考期末)NASA’s spacecraft Dart hit an asteroid (小行星) 11.3 million kilometers away at a speed, changing the asteroid’s orbit and lowered its cycle period by I5 minutes, the space organization announced on Monday.Some said the move shows the world might now be able to prevent asteroids — the kind that made the dinosaurs extinct — from hitting the Earth. The asteroid that was controlled belonged to a double-asteroid system. It had a 160-meter diameter while the other asteroid’s diameter is over 500 meters. The bigger asteroid can be compared to the one that ended the dinosaur era 67 million years ago. A hit from an asteroid that size can cause unimaginable destruction.However, it is too early to assert that the world has gained the ability to prevent asteroids from hitting us. The asteroid that was controlled was only 160 meters in size. Its cycle period was changed, without changing its orbit significantly. It is still not clear if the orbit of a much larger asteroid headed toward the Earth can be changed successfully.In brief, NASA’s success in changing the course of a harmful asteroid is definitely praiseworthy, but much more needs to be done before we can say the world’s security from some unpredictable asteroid is guaranteed.It should be noted that changing the orbit of an asteroid involves more than just sending an object into space and commanding it to hit the asteroid. While it is hard enough to hit an asteroid, it is even more difficult to lock onto one in the first place. It means having the ability to observe approaching asteroids, measuring their respective speeds, and deciding which ones might pose a danger to the Earth.Therefore, there’s more to Dart hitting the asteroid than meets the eye. And these are key areas where global scientists need to work harder in the future.8.What was the latest news about NASA?A.Its new program failed.B.Its manned spaceship hit an asteroid.C.Its spacecraft changed an asteroid’s orbit.D.Its spacecraft saved the earth from being destroyed.9.What does the underlined word “assert” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A.Advise. B.State. C.Promise. D.Admit.10.What can we learn about the asteroid that was hit?A.It was comparatively small in size.B.Its orbit was changed significantly.C.It travelled at a higher speed than before.D.It was powerful enough to end dinosaur era.11.What is the author’s attitude toward using spacecrafts to change the asteroids orbits?A.Neutral. B.Optimistic.C.Pessimistic. D.Not mentioned.(2023秋·北京房山·高三统考期末)With the development of technology, “paperless” seems to be the new trend. Instead of writing by hand, people began to use computers to type in order to produce text quickly. Some people said word processing made producing and editing text much easier. Will handwriting be completely replaced by typing?A 2017 study in the journal Frontiers in Psychology found that regions of the brain associated with learning were more active when subjects completed a task by hand instead of on a keyboard. Not only that, but the study’s authors also found that writing by hand could promote “deep encoding or processing” in a way that typing does not.In fact, there have been many such studies to arrive at that conclusion. One notable example from 2014 compared students who took notes by hand with those who took notes on laptops. They found that the students using laptops tended to write down what the professor said word for word, while those who took notes by hand were more likely to listen to what was being said, analyzing it for important content and “processing information and reframing it in their own words.” When asked conceptual questions about the lecture, students who had taken notes by hand were better able to answer than those who had typed their notes.Daniel Oppenheimer, one of the study’s co-authors, told Medium’s Elemental that in order to analyze the lecture, people had to contemplate the material and actually understand the arguments. This helped them learn the material better. The most annoying thing about writing by hand is also what makes it so effective for learning.Virginia Berninger, a professor at the University of Washington, says, “When we write a letter of the alphabet, the process of production involves pathways in the brain that go near or through parts that manage emotion.” Pressing a key doesn’t stimulate those pathways the same way. She says, “It’s possible that there’s not the same connection to the emotional part of the brain when people type, as opposed to writing in longhand.” “In the same vein, writing in longhand also allows people to really figure out what they mean to say,” Oppenheimer says, “which may help self-expression.”Our keyboards are great for a lot of things. But sometimes, there’s no replacing the feeling of spreading out a clean sheet of paper, uncapping a beloved pen, and letting the ink flow.12.The author uses the question underlined in Paragraph 1 to ________.A.predict the ending B.introduce the topicC.emphasize an opinion D.draw a conclusion13.What can be inferred from the passage?A.People who write by hand tend to think deeply.B.People who write by hand are likely to make comparisons.C.People who write by hand slow down their learning process.D.People who write by hand find it difficult to improve their memory.14.As for handwriting, the author thinks it is ________.A.accurate B.unimportant C.annoying D.beneficial(2023秋·北京丰台·高三统考期末)Over millions of years humans have responded to certain situationswithout thinking too hard. If our ancestors spotted movement in the nearby forest, they would run first and question later. At the same time, the ability to analyze and to plan is part of what separates us from other animals. The question of when to trust your instinct (直觉)and when to think slow matters in the office as much as in the savannah(草原).Slow thinking is the feature of a well-managed workplace. Yet instinct also has its place. Some decisions are more connected to emotional responses and less to analysis. In demanding customer-service or public-facing situations, instinct is often a better guide to how to behave.Instinct can also be improved. Plenty of research has shown that instinct becomes more unerring with experience. In one well-known experiment, volunteers were asked to assess whether a selection of designer handbags were real or not. Some were instructed to operate on instinct and others to deliberate(深思熟虑)over their decision. Instinct worked better for those who owned at least three designer handbags; indeed, it outperformed analysis. The more expert you become, the better your instinct tends to be.However, the real reason to embrace fast thinking is that it is, well, fast. It is often the only way to get through the day. To take one example, when your inbox floods with new emails at the start of a new day, there is absolutely no way to read them all carefully. Instinct is what helps you decide which ones to answer and which to delete or leave unopened. Fast thinking can also help the entire organization. The value of many managerial decisions lies in the simple fact that they have been made at all. Yet as data explodes, the temptation(诱惑)to ask for one more bit of analysis has become much harder to resist. Managers often suffer from overthinking, turning a simple problem into a complex one.When to use instinct in the workplace rests on its own form of pattern recognition. Does the decision maker have real expertise in this area? Is this a field in which emotion matters more than reasoning? Above all, is it worth delaying the decision? Slow thinking is needed to get the big calls right. But fast thinking is the way to stop deliberation turning to a waste of time.15.What does the underlined word “unerring” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Accurate. B.Creative. C.Controllable. D.Obvious.16.What can we learn from the passage?A.Managers can afford the cost of slow thinking.B.Fast thinking can be a boost to work efficiency.C.Slow thinking will hold us back in the long run.D.Too much data is to blame for wrong decisions.17.What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?A.To explain how instinct works.B.To compare instinct and slow thinking.C.To highlight the value of instinct in the workplace.D.To illustrate the development of different thinking patterns.(2023秋·北京海淀·高三统考期末)A new study has found human feelings can accurately be expressed numerically and have more predictive power for how we behave than formal studies of socioeconomic factors like household income and employment status.The study co-author Andrew Oswald, a professor of economics and behavioral science gathered informationfrom nearly 700,000 people, who were asked annually over a three-decade period how they felt on a numerical scale about their job, spouse, health and home. Using the data collected, researchers constructed statistical models to show how people felt and the actions they took as a result of their reported feelings. The study found that ratings of life satisfaction had a direct linear (线性的) relationship to actions people subsequently take. Participants who rated their job satisfaction as a 2 out of 7 had a 25% probability of quitting their job. Those who rated a 6 out of 7 had only a 10 percent probability of quitting. The same was true across other measures like marriage, health and housing.Previous research has also shown data about feelings predict human outcomes, but not in such a linear fashion; the degree of satisfaction served as a good predictor of future actions. Additionally, economists have previously been critical of feelings data because they considered them unscientific and unreliable. But this study shows socioeconomic factors have a lesser probability of predicting human behavior than data on feelings.Though the study shows numbers can quantify feelings, researchers are still a bit confused as to why estimates of seemingly subjective feelings can be such good predictors of future actions. According to Oswald, a number of factors could be at play. Humans are very experienced in comparative thinking and are able to scale their own life satisfaction against that of their neighbors. We’re also accustomed to using measuring devices for other aspects of life like temperature, distance and weight, so it shouldn’t be too surprising that we’re able to measure our feelings in a similarly accurate way. Another study co-author Caspar Kaiser says that it may also be because we communicate our feelings and do it in a scaled fashion every day. This could be why it comes out in the data more accurately than in objective markers.Ori Heffetz, an economics professor who was not involved in the study, says that this research shows feelings data shouldn’t be underestimated even if they’re more difficult to study. “Scientists who ignore this do so at their own risk,” he says.Looking ahead, Kaiser hopes this same data can be studied in lower-income countries so that it can be applied universally to places with varied levels of economic development. But more than anything else he’s interested in studying why feelings work so well.18.Paragraph 2 is mainly about .A.research process and findingsB.research topic and significanceC.research subjects and purposeD.research data collection and analysis19.What can we know about the study?A.It also applies to people from lower-income countries.B.It challenges the opinion that feelings data are unreliable.C.It explains why ratings of feelings can foresee future actions.D.It first shows data about feelings can predict human behavior20.What is Ori’s attitude towards the study?A.Neutral. B.Skeptical. C.Supportive. D.Cautious.21.Which would be the best title for the passage?A.How You Rate Your Life Predicts Your Future BehaviorB.Feelings Forecast Actions Better than Economic FactorsC.Why Your Feelings Affect Your Future ActionsD.Ranking Every Aspect of Your Life Counts(2023秋·北京西城·高三统考期末)Of the more than 3,000 species of mosquitoes in the world, just a small number specialize in sucking human blood. How mosquitoes track us down so effectively isn’t currently known, but it matters, since they carry dangerous diseases which may cause death.“In fact, stopping these annoying insects in their tracks could save up to half a million lives lost to those diseases each year,” said Carolyn Gauff, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. That’s why Gauff’s team wants to understand how they find and target humans.Mosquitoes mostly choose what to bite based on odor (气味). Knowing how a potentially disease-carrying mosquito finds a person, while ignoring other warm-blooded animals, is a key question. But it’s not easy to answer, since any animal smell is made up of hundreds of chemicals mixed together in specific percentage. “The actual chemicals that are found in human odor are basically the same as the chemicals found in animal odor—it’s the percentages and the relative large amount of those substances in human mixtures that’s unique,” said Gauff.To investigate, researchers decided to record neural activity in the brain of mosquitoes while exposing them to natural human and animal odor samples. They collected odor samples from about 40 different animals. When they compared some of those with the 16 human samples, something jumped out. Decanal is particularly rich in human skin. Common in the natural world, in humans, decanal comes from another, more complex substance. When one component of our skin’s natural oils, sapienic acid, breaks down, decanal is left over. This acid is only found in human beings. It’s what likely leads to the high levels of decanal that help the mosquitoes smell their way to us.Understanding what the mosquitoes are targeting is only part of the story; knowing how they do it is also important. To see exactly how mosquitoes use this sense, scientists used genetically modified (转基因的) mosquitoes so that they could cut open mosquitoes’ heads and watch neurons firing when they’re exposed to human and animal odors. The research team already knew that mosquitoes have about 60 different types of neurons that sense odors, so when they looked in the insects’ brains, they thought they might see a lot of activity. But it was surprisingly quiet, meaning that the signal was perhaps quite simple, down to just a couple types of neurons. “One type of neuron responded really strongly to both humans and animals. Another type of neuron responded to both—but it responded much more strongly to humans than animals,” Gauff said.How to keep mosquitoes’ decanal signal from being transmitted will be the research team’s next focus. Gauff hoped their current work could be used to make mosquito killers and attractants to prevent disease. 22.What’s the final purpose of the research conducted by Gauff’s team?A.To study why only certain mosquitoes suck human blood.B.To investigate the neural activity in mosquitoes’ brains.C.To help prevent deadly diseases caused by mosquitoes.D.To test the effectiveness of mosquito killers.23.To which substance(s) would mosquitoes mostly be attracted?A.Natural oil from human skin.B.Chemicals in the environment.C.Decanal generated in human blood.D.Remains of decomposed sapienic acid.24.What can we learn from the passage?A.Most mosquito neurons are not involved in responding to human odor.B.Genetically modified mosquitoes are not sensitive to human odor.C.Further research will focus on odor signal and neural connection.D.Chemicals found in human and animal odors are quite different.(2023秋·北京东城·高三统考期末)Every robot is trained in some way to do a task. By seeing what to do, robots can copy the way of doing the task. But they do so unthinkingly, perhaps relying on sensors to try to reduce collision (碰撞) risks, rather than having any understanding of why they are performing the task or where they are within physical space. It means they will often make mistakes—hitting the object in their way, for instance.Hod Lipson and his colleagues are trying to face the challenge. They placed a robot arm in a laboratory where it was surrounded by four cameras at ground level and one camera above it. These fed video images back to a deep neural(神经的) network, a form of AI, connected to the robot that monitored its movement within the space. For 3 hours, the robot arm moved randomly and the neural network was fed information about the arm' s mechanical inputs and watched how it responded by seeing where it moved to in the space. This generated nearly 8,000 data points—and the team generated an additional 10,000 through a simulation (模拟) of the robot in a virtual version of its environment.To test how well the AI had worked, a cloud-like diagram was generated to show where the neural network “thought” the arm should be found as it moved. It was accurate to within 1 percent, meaning if the workspace was 1 metre wide, the system correctly estimated its position to within 1 centimetre. If the neural network is considered to be part of the robot itself, this suggests the robot has the ability to visualise where it physically is at any given moment.“To me, this is the first time in the history of robotics that a robot has been able to create a mental model of itself,” says Lipson. “It’s a small step, but it’s a sign of things to come.”Learning about the research, Andrew Hundt at the Georgia Institute of Technology says, “There is potential for further research to lead to useful applications based on this method, but not self- perception. The computer simply matches shape and motion patterns that happen to be in the shape of a robot arm that moves.” David Cameron at the University of Sheffield, UK, also says that following a specified path to complete a goal is easily achieved by existing robots.25.Hod Lipson’s work focuses on robots .A.flexibility B.self-awarenessC.deep-learning ability D.error correction26.What is the function of the neural network in the experiment?A.To process and transform neural information.B.To study and simulate AI’s virtual environment.C.To analyse and predict the arm’s position changes.D.To record and output the video images of the robot.27.As for the result of the experiment, Andrew Hundt is .A.sympathetic B.contentC.uncertain D.disapproving 28.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To discuss a scientific concept.B.To assess a scientific finding.C.To introduce a science application.D.To present a science research.参考答案1.B 2.A 3.B【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

北京高三精品阅读理解四篇(附答案)

第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)AFor a long time, a boy wondered why his next-desk-pal was always the first in the class ,whereas he could only rank the 21st.At home, he asked his mom:“Am I more stupid than other kids? How can I always fall behind? I just can't come up with an answer. ” Mom was aware that her son's self- respect had been damaged by the ranking system, but she didn't know what to say to help.She tended to say that intelligence differs and that yes, her son's friend really was the smarter boy. But that would so upset her son. Thank goodness she resisted the temptation to say it.Her son and his friend went on to high school that year, but despite trying as hard as he could ,her son's friend still outdid him. But she was proud of her boy for his hard work,sincerely proud. It was around this time that she decided to take him on a trip to the seaside. On the trip ,she at last found an answer for him.Today her son no longer cares about rankings. He doesn't have to, for he himself is now the top of the class at the top national university he attends. After university his teachers and peers fully expect him to have a promising career.Invited to speak to his old high school, he mentioned a valuable childhood experience. It concerned that holiday his mother had prepared for them:“Once,on a trip to the sea,my mother and I were lying on the beach. She pointed to the sea and said to me:Do you see the seabirds fighting for food out there? When a wave comes near, the little birds rise quickly. The clumsy seagulls are far slower and have to struggle to get away from the wave. But these clumsy birds prove to have the biggest, strongest wings, which allow the bird to travel the furthest When the season changes, they leave for foreign shores, leaving the little birds behind. Son, I have a feeling that you are one of those seagulls. ”1. The story conveys the message that ______.A. competition between students is good for societyB. only rankings show intelligence of a childC. parents should build up children's self-respectD. children take competition among them to heart2. From the 2nd paragraph, we can see that the mother ______.A. saw the negative effects of the ranking systemB. decided to help with her son's homeworkC. knew her son was weak in his studyD. felt sorry for her son's bad behavior3. We can infer from the passage that ______.A. the son knew intelligence didn't mean anythingB. the mother was not strong enough to face the truthC. the mother was careful to protect her son's self-respectD. the son would forget his rankings soon after leaving high school4. Which of the following has the similar meaning with the underlined word “outdid”?A. was equal toB. did better thanC. laughed atD. worked harder thanWhen it comes to bringing up children, everybody agrees that it is not an easy task. Every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition (学会) of each new skill —the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting (吸引人的) to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to learn something too early. A young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over the time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and values of the community as much as the children’s own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent cheated.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.1. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills ___________.A. is universal among parentsB. should be avoidedC. sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD. will make him lose interest in learning new things2.

In moral matters, parents should _______________.A. consistently ensure the security of their childrenB. be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC. forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD. observe the rules themselvesI live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year - round sun.You may think People in such an attractive, fun - filled place are happier than others.If so you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent people still think fun equals happiness.The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common.Fun is what we experience during an act.Happiness is what we experience after an act.It is a deep, long-lasting emotion.Going to an amusement park or a ball game, watching a movie or television are fun activities that help us relax, temporally forget our problems and maybe even laugh.But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun.They have constant access to exciting parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness" But in memoir(回忆录)after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages and loneliness.Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying.If he is honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment.For commitment is in fact quite painful.The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness.They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they want.Couples with babies are lucky to get a whole night' s sleep.I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to.It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can truly increase our happiness.It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless.And it frees us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and famous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.1.What is the passage mainly about?A.Fun and happiness.B.Success and satisfaction.C.Marriage and commitment.D.Entertainment and responsibility.2.The author probably agrees that ____.A.fun creates long - lasting satisfactionB.long - standing fun may lead to happinessC.fun is short-lived while happiness is long-lastingD.fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness3.What does the author think of marriage?A.It ends in pain.B.It means commitment.C.It affords greater fun. D.It leads to raising children.4.If one gets the real meaning of happiness, he ____.A.will start a business B.won' t place too much value on moneyC.will seek for freedom D.won't devote himself to his familyTime and how we experience it have always puzzled us.Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum (钟摆)and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar.As some-one who understood the distinction observed, "When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours."Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age.They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass.For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach.Since most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured tune could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older.Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly.Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we’ve never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine. Thus taking a different route on occasions can often help slow the clock.When days become as identical as beads(小珠子)on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day—to stop time, so to speak.Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, le arning ends when we leave school, but this doesn’t have to be.1.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 is used to show .A.psychological time is quite puzzlingB.time should not be measured by a pendulumC.physical time is different from psychological timeD.physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time2.Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older?A.Our sense of time changes.B.We spend less time at the beach.C.More time is structured and scheduled.D.Time is structured with too many appointments.3.In Paragraph 3 “novelty” probably means .A.excitement B.unfamiliarity C.imagination D.amusement4.The purpose of the passage is to .A.give various explanations about timeB.describe how we experience time psychologicallyC.show the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on timeD.explain why time flies and how to slow it down psychologically答案:A 篇1,C 2,A 3,C 4,B B篇1,A 2,B 3,B 4,D C篇1,A 2,C,3,B 4,B D篇1,C 2,D 3,B 4,D。

Now, let’s check out a fewways conservationists are protecting these habitats.Seaweed SmackdownHot ocean temperatures can supercharge seaweed growth — and that’s not good for a reef. So, in Hawaii, scientists have used an underwater vacuum (真空吸器) to suck up lots of seaweed into the device’s long tube. In Australia, scientists are studying a low-tech solution: pulling seaweed by hand.21Some polyps (珊瑚虫) are harmed by heat waves and pollution. Scientists cut parts of coral from a healthy reef. Then these polyps are taken to a nursery, which could be in shallow protected areas underwater. After about a year, the healthy coral parts are attached to damaged reefs. The nursery-grown corals can bring new life to a struggling habitat.Sound SaverHealthy reefs are noisy. Fish make different sounds, and thousands of shrimp create and pop bubbles with their claws to create a sound. The biologists play sounds of healthy reefs through underwater speakers. They found that six weeks of broadcasting healthy reef sounds doubled the amount of fish in the area.Bleaching KillerOne of the biggest threats to coral reefs is bleaching.

Spot can also send back video footage, carry up to 14 kg and. when fitted with an add-on “arm”, open doors and press switches.Lightning SwarmInspired by fireflies, these robots are tiny and can give out light in various colours.The scientists intend the robots to use their lights to signal to and track each other: a low-power communication strategy for a lightweight robot.“We envision sending hundreds or more of these tiny flying robots into a disaster site, and having them collectively search for survivors,” says MIT robotics engineer Prof Kevin Chen. “Once a survivo r is found, they’ll pass the information out to the operators.”Trail BlazersAt the Bajiao Firc Rescue Station, in Yantai, northeast China. a firefighter tests out a fire-fighting robot.For a few years, China has been promoting the technology, which allows humanfirefighters to stay safely outside the danger zone while controlling robot firefighters to put out fires at chemical plants and in subways. One major advantage of this approach is fire resistance — Trail Blazers can work at temperatures of 1,000℃ for over 30 mins.RoosterThanks to its clever design, Rooster can roll across surfaces or fly around to examine almost any type of disaster site, moving through narrow passages and windows, or overobstacles and up or down staircases.Designed to assist in search operations, the robot uses cameras and sensors to scan a space, so that rescuers don’t need to enter dangerous areas. Rooster can also communicate with search teams and other robots via a radio link.13. Which robots can work in the air?A. Spot and Trail Blazers.B. Spot and Lightning Swarm.C.

Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research shows that the reason could be than men’s hearts go into rapid decline (衰弱)when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,〞said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the ages of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,〞said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.〞What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20- year- old one’s.“This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,〞said Goldspink.They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater toll (造成损失)on the male heart, said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.56.The underlined word “longevity〞(in paragraph 2) probably refers to_______A. healthB. long lifeC. ageingD. effect57.The passage mainly talks about________.A. men’s heart cellsB. women’s ageing processC. the gender differenceD. hearts and long life58. According to the passage, the UK scientists have known that ________.A.women have more cells than men when they are bornB.women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beatC.the female heart loses few of the cells with ageD.the female heart never loses the pumping power with age59. If you want to live longer, you should_______.A.enable your heart to beat much fasterB.find out the reason for ageingC.exercise regularlyD.prevent your cells from being lostBDCC56. 第一段给出女性的生命比男性的要长,第二段给出女性寿命长的原因可能和他们的心脏不失去压血的力量有关系。

AMichele Langlois is a young Canadian who works for the police as a handwriting expert. She has helped catch many criminals by using her special skill.When she was only fourteen, Michel was already so interested in the differences in her school fri ends’ handwriting that she would spend hours studying them. After finishing college she went to France for a special two-year class to learn how to analyze handwriting at the School of Police Science. On her return, she began her work for the Quebec police.Michele says that it is impossible for people to disguise (伪装) their handwriting. She can discover most of what she needs to know simply by looking at the writing with her own eyes, but she also has machines that help her analyze different kinds of paper and ink. This knowledge is often of help to the police.Michele also believes that handwriting is a good sign of the kind of person the writer is. “I wouldn’t go out with a fellow if I didn’t like his handwriting,” she says. But she adds that she fe ll in love with her future husband, William Smith before she studied his handwriting. It later proved to be all right, however.1.The best title for the text would be __________.A. Police ScienceB. Friends of PoliceC. Handwriting ReaderD.

Americans get a lot of entertainment and information from TV. Most people probably watch it for entertainment only. For some people, however, TV is where they get the news of the day. But some new TV programs or shows put entertainment and news together.This new kind of program in the United States is called “information”, which means information (info-) and entertainment (-tainment). These kinds of programs use actors to act out news stories, making the news of the day more interesting and exciting to people. The shows also use special effects.An example of infotainment is the show “America’s Most Wanted”. The producers of this program get stories from real cases that the police have dealt with. In most of these cases, the police never found the person who committed the crime (犯罪). Sometimes they caught the criminal, but he or she ran away again. They use actors to play the parts of all the people in the case. At the end of the story, however, they always show “mug shots”, or police photographs, of the real criminals.1.The purpose of the first paragraph is to introduce _________.A. news programsB. “information”C. TV channelsD. entertainment programs2.One important difference between an infotainment and ordinary TV news program is that it_________.A. reports news from where it happensB. shows the photos of real criminalsC. use actors to play the roleD. announces news for the police3.We can infer from the text that the producers of “America’s Most Wanted” ______.A. also work as police officersB. hope to get money from the policeC. hope the program will help the police catch the criminalsD. often find it difficult to persuade people to act as criminals4. In the program title “America’s Most Wanted” (line 1, para 3), “most wanted” probably refers to_______.A. criminalsB. producersC. policeD. actors5. The best title for the text would be _________.A. A New Type of TV ProgramB. TV Program for the PoliceC. America’s Most WantedD. Entertainment before Information说明文:1主旨题2细节题3推断题4猜测词义题5主旨题(BCCAA)周三A“When one of the doctors criticizes me, I get defensive. I feel like a child again, being scolded, and I want to explain that I’m not wrong.” says Viola, a nurse. This is a common reaction to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism.When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale, Sol’s reaction was to feel sorry for himself. “I had put everything I had into making that sale,” Sol says, “and I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to learn through experience not to react like that to each failure.Rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said. Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person’s position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it.After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be “nothing”. “I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there,” says Sheila. “His criticism didn’t really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them.” In Sheila’s case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. However, that’s an extreme rea ction. You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the battle isn’t worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.1. When Sol was criticized by his employer, he __________.A. argued bitterly with his employerB. was angry and gave up his job.C. was sorry for what he didD. was sad and self-pitying2. According to the writer, you should take time to think about criticism because _________.A. people may have a mistaken idea of what you didB. you should welcome other people’s opinionsC. people may discuss it with you in depthD. you need time to understand yourself3. When the writer says that “the best answer may be ‘nothing’, he means you may decide__________.A. to take no notice of the criticismB. to argue with your bossC. you need to change your job.D. you’ve done nothing wrong4. The writer thinks Sheila can decide to leave her job because her boss _______.A. didn’t like her appea ranceB. refused to change his opinionC. made an unreasonable criticismD. refused to talk to her about the criticism5. What’s the best subtitle of the last paragraph?A. Take time to cool down.B. React criticism quickly.C. Take action quickly.D. Take positive action.夹叙夹义:1细节题2细节题3猜测句义题4推断题5主旨题(CAACD)BWe should also know that “greed” is little related to the environmental crisis. The two main factors are population pressures, especially the pressures of large city population, and the desire to bring a satisfactory living with the lowest possible cost to the largest number of people.The environmental crisis is the result of success in cutting down the death rate of babies, which has given us the population explosion, success in increasing farm output sufficiently toprevent mass famine(饥荒), success in getting people out of the tenements(租房) of the 19th century city and into the ownership of single family home in the suburb,which has given us urban traffic jams. The environmental crisis, in other words, is the result of doing too much of the right sort of thing at large.To overcome the problems that success always creates, one must build on it. But where to start? Cleaning up the environment requires determined, sustained(持续的) efforts with clear targets and deadlines it needed, above all, concentration of effort. Up to now we have tried to do a little bit of everything, what we ought to do first is to draft a list of priorities(优先解决的问题).1. This passage makes people believe that we have the desire to __________.A. live in comfortable family life-styleB. set disputes peacefullyC. fight cancer and heart disease with energetic researchD. have greater government involvement in people’s daily life2. According to this passage, one early step in any effort to improve the environment would be________.A. return to expensive use of natural fertilizersB. ban the use of automobiles in and aroundcitiesC. study successful effort in other countriesD. set up a timetable for collective actions3. The passage indicates that the conditions that led to overcrowded roads also brought about________.A. more attractive living conditions for many peopleB. a healthy younger generationC. greater job opportunitiesD. the population explosion4. It could logically be assumed that the author of the passage would support laws to __________.A. ban the use of all fertilizersB. prevent the use of automobiles in the citiesC. build traditional power plants immediatelyD, organize an agency to work together to deal with environmental problems5. The phrase “build on” in the last paragraph most probably means “________”.A. give upB. rely onC. get rid ofD. research into议论文:1细节题2推断题3推断题4推断题5猜测词义题(ADADB)最新文件仅供参考已改成word文本。

高三阅读理解训练及答案

高三阅读理解训练Passage ACARDIFF, Wales Poets, singers and musicians from across the globe gathered in Wales to celebrate the tradition(传统) of storytelling.“It might seem strange that people still want to listen in age of watching television, but this is an unu sual art form whose time has come again,” said David Ambrose, director of Beyond the Border, an international storytelling festival(节) in Wales.“Some of the tales, like those the Inuit from Canada, are thousands years old. So our storytellers have come fr om distant lands to connect us with the distance of time,” he said early this month.Two Inuit women, both in their mid 60s, are among the few remaining who can do Kntadjait, or throat singing, which has few words and much sound. Their art is governed by the cold of their surroundings, forcing them to say little but listen attentively.Ambrose started the festival in 1993, after several years of working with those reviving (coming back into use or existence) storytelling in Wales.“It came out of a group of people who wanted to reconnect with traditions. and as all the Welsh are storytellers, it was in good hands here.” Ambrose said.1. Ambrose believes that the art of storytelling _______.A. will be more popular than TVB. will be popular againC. started in WalesD. are in the hands of some old people2. From the tales told by the Inuit, people can learn _______.A. about their life as early as thousands of years agoB. why they tell the stories in a throat-singing wayC. how cold it has been where the Inuit liveD. how difficult it is to understand the Inuit3. According to the writer, which of the following is NOT true?A. Storytelling once stopped in Wales.B. Storytelling has a long history in Wales.C. Storytelling is always well received in Wales.D. Storytelling did not come back until 1993 in Wales.4. The underlined phrase in good hands means _______.A. controlled by rich peopleB. grasped by good storytellersC. taken good care ofD. protected by kind peoplePassage BWhen you are in another country, it is important to know the language, but it is equally important to know how to communicate nonverbally(非语言地), before saying anything by making gestures. According to a pioneer in nonverbal communication, only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When peopledon't know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.In the United States, for example, noddi ng your head up and down means “yes”. In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean “no”. In Southeast Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying “I've heard you”.In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to spare someone's life, he would put his thumb up. Today in the United States, when someone puts his / her thumb up, it means “Everything is all right”. However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting and should not be used there.In the United States, raising your cla sped hands above your head means “I’m the champion” or “I’m the winner”. It is the sign prizefighters make when they win a fight. When a leading Russian statesman(政治家) made this gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner. In Russia, however, it is a sign of friendship.In the United States, holding your hand up with the thumb and index finger in a circle and the other three fingers spread out means “Everything is O.K.” and is frequently used by astronauts and politicians. In France and Belgium, it can mean “You’re worth nothing.”There are other nonverbal signals that people should be aware of when they go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. Americans usually feel comfortable when speaking with someone if the distance between them is about eighteen inches to arm’s length. Anything closer makes them feel uncomfortable.When talking to Americans, it is also important to make eye contact. If you look down when talking to an American, he / she may feel that you are embarrassed, afraid, or trying to hide something.In addition to knowing how to communicate nonverbally in a country, it is important to know what you and he cannot discuss. In the United States, there are certain topics to avoid when you first meet someone, For example, don’t ask people their age, weight, religion, marital status(婚姻状况), how much money they earn, or how much something costs. You can talk about work, the weather, traffic problems, sports, food, news of the day, where one lives, consumer subjects (computers, car repairs, and so forth), and travel or vacation plans.These few examples illustrate that your actions can speak louder than your words. In a particular cultural contest, what you say and what you don’t say are equally important.1. Which of the following is true?A. People all over the world only communicate verbally.B. Most of our gestures have no meaning at all.C. Some people think that 65 to 70 percent of our communication is nonverbal.D. Gestures are the most common way to common way to communicate.2. As we can see from the passage there are ______ kinds of nonverbal communication signals.A. fourB. fiveC. sixD. seven3. Please paraphrase the clause“…your actions can speak louder than your words.A. Your deeds are better than your wordsB. What you do is better than what you sayC. You try to show your best mannersD. you are better understood by your gestures than through your words4. The main idea of the passage is that when you are in another country, ______.A. it is unimportant to know the languageB. it is important to know what you can talk about to a foreignerC. to know how to communicate nonverbally is as important as to know the languageD. to communicate the rough gestures is more important than to know the languagePassage CThe common cold is the world's most widespread illness,which is plagues(疫病)that flesh receives. The most widespread fallacy(谬误)of all is that colds caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses(病毒)passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact,directly or indirectly,with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds,it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes. During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(战壕),cold and wet,showed no increased tendency to catch colds. In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp (奥斯维辛集中营),naked and starving,were astonished to find that they seldom had colds. At the Common Cold Research Unit in England,volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths,they put on bathing suits,allowed themselves to be with cold water,and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose. If,then,cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds,why are they more frequent in the winter?Despite the most pains-taking research,no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times,and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on. No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片)such as aspirin,but all they do is relieve the symptoms(症状)。

<三袋米>现代文阅读及答案作者:王恒绩①这是个特困家庭。

儿子刚上小学时,父亲便去世了,只给娘俩儿留下了两间残破不堪的瓦房。

母亲含辛茹苦地拉扯着儿子,过着清贫的生活。

②那时,村里没有电,儿子每天在油灯下书声朗朗,写写画画。

母亲拿着针线,清清晰晰地将母爱密密地缝进儿子的衬衫。

日复一日,年复一年,当一张张奖状覆盖了班驳陆离的土墙时,儿子也像春天的翠竹,噌噌地长高了。

③这年秋天,儿子考上了县重点一中。

此时,积劳成疾的母亲却因患病已干不了农活,家里有时连裹腹之粮都没有。

那时的一中,学生每月都得带三十斤米交给食堂。

儿子知道,母亲拿不出,便说:“娘,我要退学,帮你干农活。

”母亲摸着儿子的头:“你有这份心,娘打心眼里高兴,但书是非读不可的。

放心,娘生你,就有法子养你。

你先到学校报名,我随后就送米去。

”儿子却固执地说:“不!”母子二人僵持着。

母亲见说不通,便挥起粗糙的巴掌,结结实实地甩在了儿子脸上。

这是16岁的儿子第一次挨打。

④儿子终于回到学校上学去了。

没多久,母亲来到学校,一瘸一拐地挪进食堂,气喘吁吁地从肩上卸下一袋米。

负责掌秤登记的熊师傅打开袋口,抓起一把米看了看,锁紧了眉头:“你们这些做家长的,总喜欢占点小便宜。

你看看,这里有早稻、中稻、晚稻,还有细米,简直把我们食堂当杂米桶了。

”母亲立刻红了脸,连声说对不起。

熊师傅见状,没再说什么,收了。

⑤又一个月初,母亲又背着一袋米一瘸一拐地走进食堂。

熊师傅照例开袋看米,眉头又锁紧:“不管什么米,我们都收。

但品种要分开,千万不能混在一起,否则没法煮,煮出来的饭也是夹生的。

下次还这样,我就不收了。

”母亲有些惶恐地请求道:“大师傅,我家的米都是这样的,怎么办?”熊师傅哭笑不得,反问道:“你家一亩田能种出百样米?真好笑。

”遭此抢白,母亲又红了脸不吱声了,熊师傅也不再理她。

⑥第三个月初,母亲又来了,脸上堆着比哭还难看的笑。

熊师傅一看米,勃然大怒,呵斥道:“哎,我说你怎么顽固不化呀!这杂色米你今天是怎样背来的,还怎样背回去!”⑦母亲似乎早有预料,双膝一弯,跪在熊师傅面前,两行热泪打湿了衣襟:“大师傅,我跟您实说吧,这米是我讨……讨饭得来的啊!”熊师傅大吃一惊,眼睛瞪得溜圆,半晌说不出话。

高三英语阅读理解(带详解)

高三英语阅读理解(带详解)

I watched from a distance as the homeless man quarreled with those who did not leave money for him – the majority.I walked up to him and right on queue he asked me for a quarter. “I’ll give you a quarter if you tell me your story.” He laughed, “You’ll give me a quarter for my story?” I lay the quarter in front of him and corrected myself –“Nah, here’s the quarter but it would be nice to hear your story.” I followed his eyes to the quarter and for a brief moment I saw a glimmer of reflection. I sat down next to him and waited.“I was in the army,” he said. “I was a sniper(狙击手)and was supposed to shoot down the enemy from the distance.” I listened carefully to his grizzly voice as he went deeper into the story. He wore dirty old torn clothes and smelled like a dead rat left in a mouse trap. He told me how he used to hunt with his family and was really good at it. He had his own way of respecting animals by not wasting what he killed for food and not killing more than he needed. When the army came knocking on his door, he felt pride and joined up. All those years of polishing his hunting skills could now serve a larger purpose—to defend us from the bad guys. He set out to fight in Iraq.It wasn’t long before he realized his ideals and expectations were just a shadow of the truth. He became disillusioned with the killings, which he felt were of innocent people. “I was a sniper but I never really killed anyone,” he said. “One day I had to do it. They asked me to shoot this lady from the distance.I saw kids near that lady and my hands were on the trigger (扳机). Man, I was tearing up ... I couldn’t do it. She wasn’t doing anything to anyone and she was with the kids—I couldn’t see through my tears. It just didn’t make any sense to me.”The story goes on as he describes eventually being put into prison for 180 days for refusing to follow orders. He told me how he was black listed so that he couldn’t get a job. All the rights we take for granted were taken away from him. Why? Here was a man who was being punished—and for what? For refusing to kill the lady? For being a hero? “I have no regrets,” the homeless man said. “I may be homeless now, but I never killed that lady. I never killed anyone in the army. It didn’t feel right. I didn’t go there to do that. I we nt there to save people.” He continued, “I can live with being homeless—that’s okay. But I wouldn’t be able to live with killing innocent people.”On that lonely Friday night, I met a hero. It just never occurred to me that a hero could be a smelly old man left on streets.1. It can be learned from the passage that the homeless man_______. ()A. never killed animalsB. had a strong respect for lifeC. deserved the punishment he receivedD. felt guilty about disobeying the order2. The underlined word “disillusioned” (Paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to _______.()A. disappointedB. frightenedC. delightedD. admired3. The most disappointing for the man was probably that _________. ()A. he couldn’t get a job to support himselfB. he couldn’t go back to fight for his countryC. he received orders to kill an innocent personD. he got little money from the people in the street4. How did the man feel when he was reduced to a beggar? ()A. hopelessB. regretlessC. greedyD. sympathetic5. What does the passage mainly talk about? ()A. A beggar who often came into conflict with othersB. A poor man who earned money by telling storiesC. A true hero who begged for a living on streetsD. A homeless man who helped the poor men答案及剖析:语篇解读:本文介绍了一位曾经在伊拉克服役的狙击手的故事。

箴言中学2023年高三晚自习专项训练【阅读理解】(一)Here are some of the world’s most unusual events.World Ice Golf Championship, GreenlandFor more than 10 years the World Ice Golf Championship has been seen as the most extreme golf competition in the world. In 1997, architect Rolf Henning-Jensen was asked to design the world’s first ice golf course among huge iceberg and heavy snows of Uumma nnaq, a small town on the west coast of Greenland-600 km north of the Arctic Circle. There golfers face extreme temperatures as their first task to deal with. Then it will take players time and patience to accommodate themselves to white “green” and orange balls to play with. Determined by weather conditions, this event is scheduled for March each year in Greenland.Balloon Fiesta, the United StatesHave you ever been taken to the sky in a hot air balloon? The yearly Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta gives you the chance to enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the city and countryside. Since 1972, perfect October weather, blue skies and wind known as the “Albuquerque box” have worked together to allow balloonists to control their way thanks to the direction of blowing winds. This is the only place in the world to enjoy balloons flying in the blue skies each October.El Colacho, SpainThe world’s most dangerous festival takes place every year in a small Spanish village Castillo de Murcia near Burgous. El Colacho means the devil’s jump and in fact this is the act of baby-jumping. Its purpose is to force a devil to leave the child’s body. Men dressed as devils jump over small babies to guard them against illness and bad spirits. Many consider the festival to be dangerous as “jumping devils” could hurt babies. But locals believe the action protects their babies from bad things and organize the jump in the streets, so people can watch or even join.1.What does the schedule of World Ice Golf Championship depend on?A.Transport.

Sometimes parents will give their children pocket money for doing small housework, but it is often not enough once the children grow into teenagers and want to do things with their friends all of the time. How to make money is an important thi ng for teens to learn. If you’re wondering how a teenager can make good money, some ideas might be:Getting a part-time job at a local restaurant or store is always a sure way to make money as a teen. But getting a job somewhere like this might be bard, considering many jobs in local stores are being taken by adults more and more often.Doing landscaping (绿化) is something that most adults do not like to do, and teens can usually find jobs around their neighborhood doing the landscaping of friends and family.Some teens are good at something such as writing or photography. These teens can make money by doing things such as writing articles for newspapers or magazines or selling their photos online.Teens who live in a country area can earn money by helping out on farms, or they can try raising their own animals such as chickens, and selling them or their products.Looking for jobs can seem hard at first, but if you have a try, it should not be too hard to find a job or way to make money.4.What problem do teenagers have to face when finding a job in local stores?A.Heavy work. B.Low pay.C.Long working hours. D.Competition (竞争) with adults.5.What can we learn from the text?A.Most adults don’t like doing landscaping.B.Getting a part-time job is hard for teens.C.Pocket money from parents is often enough for teens.D.Teens can’t make money by writing articles for newspapers or magazines.6.Which is easier for most teens from the country to earn extra money?A.Writing articles.

Shelby, the star of“A Dog’s Way Home’“, has a hard-luck tale that could top them all. Before her big break, she was living in a landfill (垃圾填埋场), rooting through garbage for her next meal.Shelby’s big break came in April 2022, when animal-control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County, Tennessee. Out on an unrelated call, Buhler spotted and approached what she recalled was a noticeably scared puppy emerging from the garbage dump.“I knelt down and just said,’Oh, come here, baby,”said Buhler. “She was so scared, but she came right up to me, and I was able to put her in my tru ck.” The pair headed to the county animal shelter, where the staff began calling the new resident Baby Girl.Buhler and others didn’t know that 3,200 kilometers away, Hollywood was looking for a dog to play Bella in a film written by Cathryn Michon. The find-a-Bella job went to dog trainer Teresa Ann Miller. Her mission was to search shelters nationwide for a dog that could play Bella. One day, Miller spotted Baby Girl’s adoption photo. “Honestly, it was a really good picture, and she was smiling happily,” Miller said. Then she met Baby Girl, and assessed her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands. After assessment, she adopted Baby Girl from the shelter, renamed her Shelby and took her to California for training. Miller and Shelby trained for just over three months before filming began. Then they were together each day on the set.Most of the film’s reviews have praised Shelby’s performance. Variety made the comments“an amazing dog, perfect performance!”Shelby has come a long way from the garbage dump. But Buhler said when she saw Shelbyrecently she just needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash. “She’s exactly the same, with the same big grin on her face.” Buhler said.;8.Why is an actor’s struggle before a career breakthrough mentioned in Paragraph 1?A.To clearly point out the main idea of the passage.B.To attract reader’s attention by giving dramatic examples.C.To introduce a dog’s similar but even more unusual experience.D.To make a sharp contrast between an actor’s struggle and a dog’s struggle.;9.What finally helped Baby Girl get the big role in the film?A.Her adoption picture. B.Her personality and ability.C.Her happy smile. D.Her miserable experiences.;10.What does Buhler mean by saying “She is exactly the same” in the last paragraph?A.The dog looked exactly the same as before.B.The dog was really excited to live such a happy life.C.The dog returned to the piles of trash where she found it.D.The dramatic change of the d og’s life hasn’t changed her nature.;11.Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A.The Trainer and Her Star DogB.Shelby’s Hard-luck StoryC.From a Landfill Puppy to a Movie StarD.The Success of “A Dog’s Way Home”(四)After limiting the screen time, the minors in China are prohibited against getting tattooed (文身) now.According to the guideline, which came out on June 6th, 2022, any enterprise, organization and individuals should be stopped from providing inking services. The guideline also prohibits “encouraging or forcing” children into getting tattoos, while encouraging parents to advise their children against getting tattooed.“All agencies that provide tattooing services should clearly display signs refusing minors, and ask c ustomers to show their IDs if it’s hard to judge their age based on their appearance,” the guideline said.Tattoo culture has gained popularity especially among the country’s youth in recent years. They regard it as a form of fashion and self expression. H owever, tattoos haven’t been widely accepted in the society and they might have a bad influence on people in some situations.Amanla, a tattoo artist in the southwestern Yunnan Province, said he agreed with the ban. He said, “Protection is necessary. But more deeply, it’s also disrespectful for people to do something merely to be cool without knowing what they really want or understanding the pattern being drawn on their body.”In recent years, several regions have issued local regulations banning tattoo services for children. In June of last year, a court in the eastern Jiangsu Province ordered a tattoo shop to stop tattooing minors after being accused of using ink containing harmful pigments (色素).Yuan Ningning, a legal advisor specializing in family education law, said that the working guideline has cleared up the responsibilities between different regulators and called for more education and specific punishments.“The central government has already formed a consensus (共识),” Yuan said. “But it takes alear ning process among the local authorities for the guideline to be effective. That’s the first and a very crucial step.”12.What should the tattoo shops do according to the regulation?A.Refuse to serve the minors. B.Offer quality service for teenagers. C.As k the minors’ parents for advice.D.Keep the minors safe while tattooing. 13.What does paragraph 4 tell us about tattoo?A.Tattooing has a long history in China.B.The society has been influenced by tattooing.C.Young people are more interested in tattooing.D.Tattooing helps people do their work better.14.Which of the following might Amanla agree with?A.Tattoos are not for everyone.B.Tattooing for minors must be punished.C.We should learn about tattoos before getting one.D.It is not easy for the regulation to be put into practice.15.What can be inferred about the guideline?A.Those who break the rules will be punished.B.It has got wide recognition among the public.C.Educators play a key role in carrying out the rules.D.It is a long way for the guideline to make a difference.参考答案CBA DACB CBDC ACCD。

More than 45,000 years ago, by the shore of present-day Tasmania, a local person picked up a large piece of thick, dark brown seaweed. And he realized that this giant piece of seaweed could be used to make a watertight bag. And 45,000 years later on mainland Australia, people are again turning to seaweed to solve pressing problems. Today, it is used to address the world's climate crisis.Winberg, a marine ecologist at the University of Wollongong, has spent decades studying seaweed. She believes seaweed's fast growth rate and ability to absorb vast amounts of carbon dioxide can help fight climate change, de-acidify (降低酸度) the oceans, and change the way we farm, not just in the oceans but also on land.“If we used the infrastructure we have in the ocean and created seaweed islands, we would actually get rid of many climate change issues we have today," says Winberg. Realizing seaweed's potential as a climate solution, Winberg opened Australia's first land-based, commercial seaweed farm in 2013. On her farm in New Wales, Winberg produces seaweed extracts ( 提取物) that are used in food, cosmetics and medicines.Like plants on land, seaweed absorbs CO2 and grows biomass (生物量) . Coastal marine systems can absorb carbon at rates up to 50 times greater than forests on land, according to Emily Pidgeon, senior director of strategic marine initiatives at Conservation International. Globally, seaweeds are thought to absorb nearly 200 million tons of CO2 every year - as much as New York State's annual emissions. And when the seaweed dies, much of the carbon locked up in its tissues is transported to deep oceans.By raising pH levels in the ocean, seaweeds also improve growing conditions for shellfish such as oysters and mussels, whose shells become more fragile ( 脆弱的) in acidic environments. The potential for seaweed cultivation doesn't stop in the oceans. Winberg has found there are benefits to doing it on land too. She believes that seaweed farming offers “huge potential"to not only address the climate crisis, but also feed a growing population in a sustainable way.According to Winberg, one hectare (公顷) of a seaweed farm can produce more protein than the same amount of land used for cattle. “We're sitting on undiscovered, renewable,sustainable resources," she says.1.What is mainly introduced about seaweed in paragraph 1?A.Its use.B. Its history.C. Its origin.D. Its appearance.2. Why is seaweed spoken highly of according to the text?A. It lowers the ocean temperature directly.B. It contributes to shellfish's growing speed.C.

高三语文阅读理解题《新秋随笔》阅读原文:宴罢归来,卸下外衣,不去扭开台上的电灯,我径自在窗槛上倚下。

时候并不十分的迟,但是街上静悄悄的已没有什么人迹。

当窗的一棵街树,夏来郁郁森森,长得挤满了四面窗的位置,从窗上俯身出去,伸手便可触着沁凉的树叶。

风过处浑浑的抖动,月夜疏疏的掌状图案便从窗上地板上一直延到墙上,但是眼镜一除下,黑森森的满眼又都变成蠕动的怪物了。

虽是雨夜的淅滴声能使我增加不少读书的兴趣,但是想到树儿在春日是如何艰难的白手起家,如今竟这样的骄扬跋扈,我总止不住要嘲笑它未来的秋日的命运。

有一日,对面高楼上顶上小窗中的法国戍兵,不时有幽怨的梵俄铃声从树梢飞下,凄颤颤的似乎在抽抒着他的乡思。

这迷人的弦声近来久不听见了。

这难道是薄幸儿找着了异国情怀的寄托么?从繁密的树叶中向街下望去,偶然驰过的摩托车尾的红灯荧荧的似乎在向你送着无限的眷念,使你不自止要伸身也去向它追随;我相信,灯光若能在隐约中永诱着不使我绝念,我或者不自知的翻身去作坠楼人也未可知。

只是,想到车中的坐客或许是我曾经从心上推下的人儿,却便又将目光移开,期望着另一个未来的灯光了。

仰首望天,星光熠熠,横亘的银河似乎是舞女卸下的一条衣带。

风过处,一阵新凉,使人想起热情沸腾的夏季已经在检点着她的残妆了,繁华似梦,梦也不长,红灯娇喘的欢乐中,谁又顾到灯残后的寥落?1不知是怎样,一年四季中我所最留恋的独是秋天;2夏是伧夫,春是艳妹,冬是嫠归。

3然而秋天也是最足动人愁思的一个;4红颜薄命,这大约是无可奈何的事了。

最使我荒怠的是夏季,心上的灰尘与书的灰尘几乎是同样的日渐加积,但是近日,看着森绿的树叶似乎无形中有了一层苍气,天高云薄,风吹到脸上能使人飘飘的起一点闲思,我知道一年一度的佳期不远,心上不觉又渐渐的活跃起来了。

风晴微暖的午后,骑驴在斜狭的山道上看红叶;夜寒瑟瑟,拥毡侧耳听窗外的雨声。

晨窗下读书,薄暮中行走,稿件急迫时当了西风披绒线衫的灯下走笔,种种秋日可追忆的情调,又都一一在我心上活动了。

Today, everyone at the university knows her as the "Squirrel Girl".Mary started bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet sensation.Growing up in a neighborhood outside of State College, Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn't interact with people very much. She was later diagnosed (诊断) with Asperger's syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. "The squirrels help me break the ice, because I'll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them," she said, "I am a lot more outgoing."And in case you're wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they'll grab it. But getting to that part took a while. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.This year, Mary is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences.

Which words can best describe Mary?A.Patient and caring.B.Confident and strong.C.Sociable and healthy.D.Traditional and hard-working.CMany Beijing residents go to great lengths to avoid breathing the city's smoggy air, especially when it reaches critical pollution levels, but one local entrepreneur decided that canning(灌装) and selling this poor quality air as a souvenir would be a great idea. Believe it or not, he was right.After seeing a number of companies achieve commercial success by canning fresh air from countries like France, Canada or Australia and selling it in China, Dominic Johnson-Hill, a British-born citizen of Beijing and owner of the Plastered 8 souvenir shop, decided to turn the idea on its head and sell canned Beijing air throughout China and abroad."I'd seen people going crazy to buy canned air from Canada and Australia, so I thought it was time to push business the other way," the entrepreneur said. "They' re perfect gifts! What else are you going to take home when you go home from Beijing? A roast duck? A Plastered T-shirt? These cans are light, portable, you can just imagine someone' s face when they unwrap (打开) it for Christmas."The few mouth-fulls of Beijing air come in standard tin cans featuring a couple of iconic city landmarks as well as a bitter description of the contents: "a unique mix of nitrogen, oxygen and someshop, as well as on its online shop. But if you're actually considering buying some, you'd better ask shop in advance, as they are virtually flying off the shelves. Johnson-Hill said that his shop is selling hundreds of Beijing air cans every day.Personally, the well-sold can probably is an awakening for the public to be concerned about the living conditions.Yet one thing that’ s not particularly clear is whether the air is really collected from Beijing, as the cans are labeled as "Made in Shenzhen". There's a big chance that' s just a kind of Plastered 8 humor, as they also list "Choking Hazard" and "May have unidentified objects inside." as warnings.Anyway, it is probably a unique way to arouse public awareness of protecting the environment.8.What contributes to Dominic’s idea of canning and selling the poor quality air?A.Try to get used to it.B.Sell it all over the world.C.Can it as a souvenir.D.Try to push business the other way.9.How may one feel when receiving canned Beijing air for Christmas?A.Satisfied.B.Surprised.C.Frightened.D.Refreshed.10.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "stuff" in Paragraph 4?A.liquidsB.objectsC.mineralsD.risks11.What can we infer from the passage?A.There are unidentified objects in the canned Beijing air.B.The Plastered 8 souvenir shop is famous for its humour.C. People should make efforts to protect the environment.D.Dominic Johnson-Hill likes the poor quality air in Beijing.DGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus it began a long time when the richand the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children of touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家),encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.12.The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because________.A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.B. they thought bath houses were to dirty to stay inC. they believed disease could be spread in public bathsD. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease13. Which of the following best describes Henry IV's attitude to bathing?A. AfraidB. CuriousC. ApprovingD. Uninterested14. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By providing examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By following the order of time.D. By following the order of importance.15. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To stress the role of dirt.B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.D. To present the change of views on dirt.高三阅读理解训练116 1-3 ABC 4-7 DCDA 8-11 DBBC 12-15 CACD。

高三用阅读理解一篇
Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today. Because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events—love, sadness, good times, and bad times. It tells real life stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more complicated, it is good to hear music about ordinary people.
Country music, sometimes called country-western, comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the West. The singers usually play guitars and in the 1920s they started using electrical guitars.
At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the south. But during World War II, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the south. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.
Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada—in small town and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1,200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. English stars sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor Southerners is now popular all over the world.
