And Julie Andersen of the Plastic Oceans Foundation says what we see is just the ti p of the problem. “Half of the waste actually sinks to the bottom, and that remains on the surface actually breaks down. ”The filmmakers found rubbish in ocean gyres, the circulating currents that trap large concentrations of pollution in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacifc Oceans, home of what some have plastic. What we found was a plastic smog that spread throughout all the water. And in some parts of the oceans, scientists have found more plastic than plant. ”The pieces of the plastic garbage infect the food chain, sometimes visibly, and more so at the microscopic level, where the plastic particles interact with other pollutants. “There are heavy metals, medicines, industrial waste in the sea, while it acts like magnets(磁铁). These poisonous substances absorb on the plastic, and then when seafood absorbs the plastics, those poisonous substances enter the fatty tissues. ”To be consumed by other sea life and by people at last. China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam are the worst plastic polluters. The United States, although a leader in recycling, is one of the world's 20 since it produces and consumes so much plastic. There are efforts around the world to address the problem, including at this newly opened recycling center in Lebanon(黎巴嫩).

"I used to work in school catering and saw a lot of money being thrown away. I thought that was criminal, so I decided to do something about it," said Italian school chef Tiziano Vicentini.Now, Vicentini has an amazing range of edible plates for schools. The plates are made out of bread dough, so you can eat them afterwards. "These dishes cost a few pennies each and are either eaten by the kids, or go into recycling bins for animal food," explained Vicentini, 50, of Milan. But now other companies are developing edible plates, too. The Edible-Plate Company offers edible plates, bowls, trays and cups. Their products are environmentally-friendly, 100% biodegradable and can be used for all types of catering and home use. And they're made from a natural plant. After use, they can be fed to animals or left to degrade naturally.They also have a range of cutlery(餐具) made from corn and potato starch(淀粉). These plates will also help reduce the amount of plastic; we create. Waste from plastic causes a lot of damage to the environment, as well as costing governments millions m waste management. Plastic bags often end up in landfill sites or on the street. And the burning of plastic waste causes toxic gases that pollute the air. In response to this, governments around the world are introducing tough recycling regulations. And many shops are offering biodegradable plastic bags and eco-safe packaging on their products. To help matters, the International Organization for Standardization (the ISO) has also developed a system to evaluate the biodegradability of products, with a certification and logo scheme, Meanwhile, how about a nice plate for lunch?(1)Which of the following is not the advantage of edible plates?A. They are expensive.B. They can degrade naturally.C. They are environmentally-friendly.D. They are made from natural plant.(2)Which of the following statements is true?A. Tiziano is from Germany.B. Edible plates are only used for school catering.C. Corn and potato starch can be used to make cutlery.D. The Edible Plate Company doesn't produce edible bowls.(3)What does the underlined word "this" refer to?A. The air pollution.B. The edible cutlery.C. The toxic gases caused by the burning of plastic.D. The damage to the environment caused by plastic waste.(4)What is the main idea of this passage?A. The measures to stop the pollution.B. The ways to reduce the plastic waste.C. How to make edible plates from natural plants. .D. The plate solution to eating and environmental problem.【答案】(1)A(2)C(3)D(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了饮食和环境的问题,并且提出了相应的解决方法。

Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos, and other digital records. Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of species in an area, a new Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect.“With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observation s of different species with the aid of a mobile application,” said Barnabas Daru, who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. “These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens(标本), and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change, I wanted to know: Are they usable?”Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns.“We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias (使有偏差) data, like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it,” said Daru.Their study revealed that the large number of observation-only records did not lead to better global coverage. Moreover, these data are biased and favor certain regions, time periods, and species. This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby. These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-catching features.What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity?“Quite a lot,” Daru explained. “Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places – and even species – that are not w ell-sampled. To improve the quality of observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.”32. What do we know about the records of species collected now?A. They are becoming outdated.B. They are mostly in electronic form.C. They are limited in number.D. They are used for public exhibition.33. What does Daru’s study focus on?A. Threatened species.B. Physical specimens.C. Observational data.D. Mobile applications.34. What has led to the biases according to the study?A. Mistakes in data analysis.B. Poor quality of uploaded pictures.C. Improper way of sampling.D. Unreliable data collection devices.35. What is Daru’s suggestion for biodiversity apps?A. Review data from certain areas.B. Hire experts to check the records.C. Confirm the identity of the users.D. Give guidance to citizen scientists.二答案解析三专家评价考查关键能力,促进思维品质发展2024年高考英语全国卷继续加强内容和形式创新,优化试题设问角度和方式,增强试题的开放性和灵活性,引导学生进行独立思考和判断,培养逻辑思维能力、批判思维能力和创新思维能力。

【英语】高三英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Many scientists today are convinced that life exists elsewhere in the universe---life probably much like that on our own planet. They reason in the following way.As far as astronomers can determine, the entire universe is built of the same matter. They have no reason to doubt that matter obeys the same laws in every part of the universe. Therefore, it is reasonable to guess that other stars, with their own planets, were born in the same way as our own solar system. What we know of life on earth suggests that life will arise wherever the proper conditions exist.Life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere. This eliminates(除去) all those planets in the universe that are not about the same size and weight as the earth. A smaller planet would lose its atmosphere; a larger one would hold too much of it.Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light. This eliminates double stars, or stars that flare up suddenly. Only single stars that are steady sources of heat and light like our sun would qualify.Finally, life could evolve(进化) only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun. With a weaker sun than our own, the planet would have to be closer to it. With a stronger sun, it would have to be farther away.If we suppose that every star in the universe has a family of planets, then how many planets might support life? First, eliminate those stars that are not like our sun. Next eliminate most of their planets; they are either too far from or too close to their suns. Then eliminate all those planets which are not the same size and weight as the earth. Finally, remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet. It may not have begun yet, or it may have already died out.This process of elimination seems to leave very few planets on which earthlike life might be found. However, even if life could exist on only one planet in a million, there are so many billions of planets that this would still leave a vast number on which life could exist.(1)The existence of life depends on all of the following factors EXCEPT .A.the right amount of atmosphereB.our own solar systemC.steady heat and lightD.the right distance from the sun(2)Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A.The planet must be as big and heavy as the earth.B.Proper conditions are essential to the existence of life.C.Double stars can provide steady light and heat.D.The distance between a planet and its sun should be right.(3)What kind of planet might NOT support life?A.Most of the planets of the stars.B.Stars similar to our sun.C.Planets similar to the earth.D.Planets with proper conditions.(4)At the end of the passage the author suggests that .A.it is impossible for life to exist on planetsB.earthlike life could only exist on a few planetsC.life could exist on only one planet in a millionD.life could exist on a great number of planets【答案】(1)B(2)C(3)A(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,整个宇宙都是由同一种物质构成的,物质在宇宙的每一部分都遵循同样的规律。

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Thirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part-drivers.DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One had its brake lock up in the starting area. Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The "winner," if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire."You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things," says Reinhold Behringer, who helped design two of the car-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonics. "Even ants (蚂蚁) can do all these tasks effortlessly. It's very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines."The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately. Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there's a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.(1)Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race because_____.A. they did not have any human guidanceB. the road was not familiar to the driversC. the distance was too long for the vehiclesD. the prize money was unattractive to the drivers(2)DARPA organized the race in order to_____.A. raise money for producing more robotic vehiclesB. push the development of vehicle industryC. train more people to drive in the desertD. improve the vehicles for future wars(3)From the passage we know "robotic vehicles" are a kind of machines that _____.A. can do effortlessly whatever tasks living thing canB. can take part in a race across 142 miles with a time limitC. can show off their ability to turn themselves upside downD. can move from place to place without being driven by human beings(4)In the last paragraph, the writer implies that there is a long way to go______.A. for a robotic vehicle to finish a 142-mile race without any difficultiesB. for a little child who has just learned to walk to reach the cookie on the tableC. for a robotic vehicle to deal with a simple problem that a little child can solveD. for a little child to understand the importance of wiping apple juice off its face【答案】(1)A(2)D(3)D(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了DARPA组织一次汽车越野比赛,目的是想改进未来战场上的机器人汽车,并介绍了这些机器汽车的优点和缺点。

___________________________ A____________________________56.Why is Nashville an interesting city to visit? Because it is .A.easy to travel around B.famous for country musicC.an old city D.a beautiful city57.If you plan to join the tour on September 27, on what date should you reserve your ticket?A.August 27. B.October 13. C.September 13. D.September 26.58.Visa and Master Card are most probably the names of .A.newspapers B.clubs C.telephone cards D.credit cards 59.The title that best expresses the main idea of the passage is .A.Bus Tour of Nashville B.Tour of PittsburghC.Travel and Tour D.Free Traveling___________________________ B____________________________ Through a series of experiments an American scientist has gained an understanding of the social structure of the most complex of ant societies .The ants examined are the only creatures other than man to have given up hunting and collecting for a completely agricultural way of life .In their underground nests they planted gardens on soils made from finely cut leaves .This is a complex operation requiring considerable division of labor .The workers of this type of ant can be divided into four groups according to size. Each of the groups performs a particular set of jobs.The making and care of the gardens and the nursing of the young ants are done by the smallest workers . Slightly larger workers are responsible for cutting leaves to make them suitable for use in the gardens and for cleaning the nest. A third group of still larger ants do the construction work and collect fresh leaves from outside the nest .The largest are the soldier ants ,responsible for defending the nest.To find out how good the various size—groups are at different tasks ,the scientist measured the amount of work done by the ants against the amount of energy they used .He examined first the gathering and carrying of leaves .He selected one of the size groups ,and then measured how efficiently these ants could find leaves and run back to the nest .Then he repeated the experiment for each of the other size groups .In this way he could see whether any group could do the job more efficiently than the group normally undertaking it .The intermediate-sized(中等的)ants that normally perform this task proved to be the most efficient for their energy costs ,but when the scientist examined the whole set of jobs performed by each group of ants , it appeared that some sizes of worker ants were not suited to the particular jobs they performed.60.According to the passage ,the ants .A.grow something in their nests B.go hunting for a livingC.cut leaves to make a fire D.do each of the jobs all together61.It is observed that slightly larger ants perform more of the .A.construction tasks B.defensive workC.household tasks D.dangerous work62. The underlined word “good” probably means .A.co-operating B.efficient C.hardworking D.responsible63.The experiments made by scientist was based on .A.special methods B.scientific theoriesC.personal interests D.systematic observations___________________________ C____________________________ If you want to stay young ,sit down and have a good think .This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise –and as a result ,we are not aging unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age ,and how the process of aging could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University ,he set about measuring brain volumes(容量)of a thousand people of different ages and jobs.Computer technology enabled the researchers to get right measurements of the volume of the front and side section of the brain ,which relate to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character,Contraction(收缩)of the front and side parts as cells died off was observed in some subjects in their thirties ,but it was still not clear in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy(补救)to the contraction normally associated with age –using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns .Those least at risk ,says Matsuzawa ,are lawyers ,followed by university professors and doctors .White collar workers doing routine work in government officesare ,however ,as likely to have shrinking(萎缩)brains as farm workers ,bus drivers and shop assistants.Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking .Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need . “The best way to keep good blood circulation is through using the brain , “he says,” Think hard and engage in conversation . Don’t rely on pocket calculators.”64.The team of doctors wanted to find out .A.why certain people age sooner than othersB.how to make people live much longerC.the size of certain people’s brainsD.the people with more intelligent65.On what are their research findings based?A.A survey of farmers in northern Japan.B.Tests performed on a thousand old people.C.The study of brain volumes of different people.D.The latest development of computer technology.66.Matsuzawa thinks that .A.our brains shrink as we grow olderB.the front section of the brain does not shrinkC.sixty-year-old people have better brains than thirty-year-oldsD.the contraction of brains is connected with brain exercise67.According to the passage ,which people seem to age slower than the others?A.Farmers. B.Lawyers.C.Government workers. D.Shop assistants.___________________________ D____________________________ There are few ads that have stood the test of time .Certain ads are simple and outstanding ;they are classics .Good ads work on two levels:they engage the mind of the consumer and at the same time deliver a selling message.Spokespeople and celebrities have been an important part of manyclassic ads . Michael Jordan ,the premier spokesperson of the 1990s, delivered believable commercials for Diet Coke ,Wheaties ,and Nike ,to name but a few .His animated Coke ads ,with a variety of cartoon characters ,shown during the 1992 and 1993 Super Bowls produced awareness scores five times higher than the normal. Drama is often an important aspect of successfuladvertising .One of the most dramatic advertisements ever produced was a commercial for the launch of the Apple Macintosh computer that took on Apple’s most serious competitor ,IBM. The stark images of the classic George Orwell novel 1984 came alive in this commercial ,which only ran once , on the 1984 Super Bowl before 100 million viewers .Not only was this ad a fascinating drama ,it also demonstrated the power of a timely media buy.Significant images are another important part of advertising. Nike ,with its “ Just do it” campaign has provided the intended audience –young athletic men and women ,or athletic “wannabes”—with rewarding praise for thephysically fit and constant inspiration for the unfit to release their lethargy(倦怠的). These images of men and women committed(承诺)to “no pain –no gain,” both inspire and challenge .This imagery is heightened through excellent photography, the use of celebrities, and dramatic situations. It is a type of advertising called, rather literally, image advertising. Perhaps the most successful image advertising of all time ,however ,is the Marlboro campaign ,which has been running since 1955. With great single—mindedness the campaign has focused on western imagery with cowboys ,horses ,and farms .The cowboy myth is a strong and exciting image . This campaign has been successful both as communication and as a marketing effort .It has helped to make Marlboro the best—selling cigarette in the world.68.In the author’s opinion ,classic ads intend to .A.raise the customer’s ener gy and encourage them to take exerciseB.start a campaign to focus on western images and forerunnersC.include spokespersons ,famous stars and lovely cartoonsD.attract customers and meanwhile send selling ideas69.The author says “Perhaps the most successful image advertising of all time ,however ,is the Marlboro campaign”, probably because of .A.the dramatic stituation B.the clear photoC.the appealing image D.the good quality cigarettes70.Which of the following is true?A.Image advertising consists of photography ,famous people and dramatic situation.B.Cartoon characters can improve awareness of social problems.C.The ads based on literature words proves more successful.D.Many ads can bear the test of time.___________________________ E____________________________ Remember when a trip to the supermarket was nothing more than a boring thing requiring little or no specialized knowledge ?You could send your kids into a cart while you did shopping .You alwaysbought the same brands , usually the brands you mother bought .You didn’t know about unit pricing ,and furthermore ,you didn’t care .It never occurred to you to read the labels on anything .After all ,you’d bought these things a hundred times.But now ,I really look on those days with a feeling of yearn(怀旧). How innocent we were ! How carefree were those trips to the supermarket .No worries . Today a trip to the supermarket is filled with social influence .Every time I buy pork chops I think about the years I’m shaving from my l ife . I keep a careful eye on the freshness date and examine the tamper—proof packaging .I am victim of that most dangerous social disease : shoppers’ panic.I didn’t realize how serious my condition had become until the last time I needed laundry soap .I t seemed simple enough .Just run into the market , grab a box of the old reliable and pay for it . I hadn’t planned on discovering Ecover ,a new brand of laundry soap .It sat quietly on the shelf right next to my old reliable . “Healthy ,hentle but effective.” My respect for it deepened with each new claim as I read the entire package .Then I looked at the price: $ 5.69 for 2 pound . $ 5.69 ! I cast a quick glance at the old reliable ,still on sale for $ 1.39.Six bucks for laundry soap ! These people must be crazy! Who’s going to pay six bucks for laundry soap ? It’s not as though I can’t afford it . See , it’s concentrated—use less ,get more .BUT SIX BUCKS! And the box is made from recycled materials… .This act went on for a solid half hour, after which I left the shelf without any soap at all.Surely the meat department is most threatening place .Remember what protein was good for you ? That’s all over .Every bite you take kills you. I won’t even mention meat’s moral influence.When all is said and done ,we still must eat .I gather up my healthy cooking oil and my recycled paper towels and head to the checkout counter.71.In the first paragraph ,the author mainly wants to tell us that in the past .A.it was convenient to go shopping in the supermarketB.shopping in the supermarket was a very boring thingC.we never read the labels of commodities in the supermarketD.we used to buy the same brands of products in the supermarket72.Recalling the old days’ shopping in the supermarket ,the author th inks it was .A.pleasant B.fresh C.dangerous D.crazy73.According to the author ,eating pork chops will mean that .A.you must have a shave after that B.you should think of the old daysC.you are killing yourself slowly D.you must go on diet after that74.In the supermarket ,the author was attracted by a new brand of laundry soap for its .A.price B.claim C.package D.shape75.According to the passage ,what’s the author’s problem?A.She was too poor to afford the new brands in the supermarket.B.She could not find the right laundry soap in the supermarket.C.She had to use the most healthy things for her poor health.D.She was greatly affected by the social influence.2. 阅读下列短文,从每题所给四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。

质量之大,在理论上是不应该存在。但这个理论现在已经被新中国科学家发现的黑洞 LB-1 所推翻。科学家们现在正绞尽脑汁研究 LB-1 是如何变得如此巨大的,并介绍了几种可能性 的理论。 (1)考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“Scien sts have discovered a ‘monster black hole’ so massive that, in theory, it shouldn't exist.” 可知,科学家们已经发现了一个“巨型黑洞”,其质 量之大,在理论上是不应该存在;再根据第三段“This theory has now been toppled by LB-1, the newly discovered black hole. Located about 15.000 light years away, it has a mass 70 mes greater than our sun, according to a press release from tnhes eC hAi cademy of Sciences可.” 知, 但这个理论现在已经被新中国科学家发现的黑洞 LB-1 所推翻。根据中国科学院的一份新闻 稿,它位于 15000 光年之外,质量是太阳的 70 倍。所以判断出作者写这篇文章的目的是 与读者分享黑洞发现的新进展,故选 C。 (2)考查细节理解。根据倒数第三段中的 “If this is how LB-1 formed, then we may have‘direct evidence for this process’ for the first m可e知.” ,如果这就是 LB-1 的形成过程, 那么我们可能首次有了“这一过程的直接证据”。所以 LB-1 这一发现可能会给“后援形成理 论”带来一些突破。故选 D。 (3)考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“because 8S these stars die, they lose most of their mass through explosions that expel ma er and gas swept away by stellar w可in知ds,.” 因为这 些恒星会死亡,它们大部分质量因爆炸而损失,恒星风会把爆炸释放出来的物质和气体吹 走。所以如果我们星系中的太阳死亡,它的一部分质量会被恒星风吹走。故选 A。 【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查,是一篇新闻报道,考生需要 准确掌握细节信息,并根据上下文进行逻辑推理,从而选出正确答案。

高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Mexico sites on an island plateau (高原) surrounded by volcanic peaks, which makes air quality a constant concern for people who live there.In April, the country took a decisive step toward improving air quality by enacting a temporary ban on private and Federal vehicles in the city. The rule forbids people from driving in the city one day each week and one Saturday each month. Electric vehicles, government service vehicles, public transport options and school buses are not included in the ban.Mexico City isn't the first urban center to be involved in car-free living. But the ban is more than an awareness-raiser. It was enacted with the direct aim of solving air pollution. In March, the city sank into a deep brown haze of smog when the pollution levels passed the 200 mark. The city ordered some 1.1m of the area's 4.7m cars off the streets and also offered free bus and subway rides.Mexico City's temporary vehicle ban raises questions about the best ways to improve urban air quality. India, whose citizens breathe some of the world's dirtiest air, has tried a variety of solutions. Earlier this year, the Indian government started a 4% sales tax on new-car purchases. Beijing also has experience with cleaning the air. The city introduced alternate-day rules in advance of the 2008 Olympic Games, which produced good results. And then there is the London congestion (拥挤) charge, introduced in 2003. The charge has had a measurable effect on air quality.For now, Mexico City — named by the United Nations as the most polluted city on the planet in 1992 — can look forward to the start of the region's rainy season, when daily showers will help lo clean the air.(1)How did Mexico ban vehicles in the city?A. By banning private and Federal vehicles one day a week.B. By forbidding private and public vehicles every Saturday.C. By limiting the number of new cars.D. By prohibiting the vehicles except public ones.(2)What did the government of Mexico do when carrying out the ban on vehicles?A. Raised the number of public vehicles.B. Offered free bus and subway rides.C. Introduced more travel options.D. Encouraged citizens to leave the city.(3)What may contribute to improving the air quality in Mexico?A. Alternate-day rules.B. Tax rises.C. Congestion charge.D. The rainy season.(4)What's the best title for the passage?A. Mexico —an Island PlateauB. A Variety of Bans on Vehicles in MexicoC. Should Cities Be Car-free ZonesD. How to Improve Air Quality【答案】(1)A(2)B(3)D(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,墨西哥墨西哥政府为了提高空气质量,在实施车辆禁令时提供免费巴士和地铁。

Passage 1Up,Up,and Away!An adventurer who became the first person to fly across the English Channel on a cluster of balloons has launched a house into the sky just like in the hit movie Up-in reparation for a more ambitious journey and a new record.Fearless Trappe,from North Carolina,stepped into the cartoon themed home before flying above the Leon International Balloon Festival in Mexico more than a week ago.The 38-year-old Trappe was using the event as a warm-up for his planned trans-Atlantic flight scheduled for next summer.He aims to complete the 2,500-mile journey in a seven-foot lifeboat carried by 365 huge helium balloons.The brave man is learning to sail a lifeboat,in case he needs to ditch into the ocean during the danger-filled adventure.He sill fly at between 18,000 feet and 25,000 feet,beating his previous world altitude record of 21,600 feet,and must fly uninterrupted a distance ten times longer than his previous world record of 230 miles in order to succeed.The adventurer Trappe,who holds records for crossing the Alps,flying the most cluster balloons,and the longest distance,has spent his entire career,building up to this ambitious plan.“I didn’t wake up one day and think:‘I’ going to fly across the Atlantic,’”he said.“Every attempt before this was prepared for this fight,I’ve been training for a long time”.1.The adventurer flew across the English Channel

your opinions of the work of the class.When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics,remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying.You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends---you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent,waiting to hear what you have to say.You must speak so that they can hear you---loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.Remember,too,that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you.The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease but the situation is somewhat different from that of a ordinary conversation.You must take special care that you can be heard.1.When you speak to the class,you should speak ______.A.as slowly as possible B.in a low voice C.loudly D.forcefully 2.Usually,when you speak to the class,the class is _______.A.noisy B.quiet C.having a rest D.serious 3 The situation in the class is ______ that in your house.A.not very different from B.sometimes the

must keep silent at any timeD.that we must talk with the classPassage 3About 21,000 young people in 17 American states do not attend classes in school buildings.Instead,they receive their elementary and high school education by working at home on computers.The Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public “cyberschools.” and that is about twice as many as two years ago.The money for students to attend a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they live.Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools.They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well.Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed.These people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools.They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.Whatever the judgement of cyberschools,they are getting more and more popular.For example,a new cyberschool called Commonwealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall.It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.Children get free equipment for their online education.This includes a computer,a printer,books and technical services.Parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their computers when necessary.Students at cyberschools usually do not know one another.But 56 such students who finished studies at Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School recently met for the first time.They were guests of honor at their graduation.1.What do we know from the text about students of a cyberschool?A.They have to take long bus rides to school.B.They study at home rather than in classrooms.C.They receive money from traditional public schools.D.They do well in traditional school programs.2.What is a problem with cyberschools?A.Their equipment costs a lot of money.B.They get little support from the state government.C.It is hard to know students' progress in learning.D.The students find it hard to make friends.3.Cyberschools are getting popular became _______.A.they are less expensive for studentsB.their students can work at their own speedC.their graduates are more successful in societyD.they serve students in a wider age range4.We can infer that the author of the text is _______.A.unprejudiced in his description of cyberschoolsB.excited about the future of cyberschoolsC.doubtful about the quality of cyberschooisD.disappointed at the development of cyberschoolsPassage 4South Africa hosted the fifth BRICS Summit in March 2013,which completedthe first cycle of BRICS summits,BRICS is an acronym for the powerful grouping of the world's leading up-and-coming economies,namely Brazil,Russia,India,China and South Africa.The BRICS aims to achieve peace,security,development and cooperation.It also seeks to contribute to the development of humanity and build a more stable and fairer world.The industry leaders from the business communities of the five countries agreed that the BRICS countries will actively support industrialization on the African continent in order to contribute significantly to its development and to expand trade links between Africa and BRICS.The global economic situation,though improving,continues to remain uncertain with the Euro-crisis a major concern.The task ahead is to build on these developments and BRICS countries remain committed to the cause of promoting sustainable growth.Greater economic cooperation among BRICS countries can be significantly important,which will prove beneficial for global economic growth.According to Dr.Rob Davies,South African Minister of Trade and Industry,the African continent is recognized as the second fastest growing continent after Asia.There are four drivers of the economic growth in African continent.These are the boom in mineral products in the African continent,the development of the service industries,the benefit of not having the financial crisis,and infrastructure(基础设施)development.Davies also adds that other BRICS countries have advantage of large populations providing big home markets for their products.The South African population is small compared to other BRICS countries,but if you add up numbers on continent then you have a critical mass that can support the new industrial wave in Africa:That is why the South African needs to create large trading blocks across large parts of African continent.1.“BRICS” refers to______.A.t he most active economy group in today’s worldB.t he most powerful economies in western worldC.l eading countries with fast development of humanityD.t he most stable and secure countries in the world2.From the text we know that industrialization in Africa will______.A.give financial supports to all African countriesB create trade opportunities for both Africa and BRICSC make significant development in the powerful groupsD.expand sustainable economic cooperation in different continents3.The author believes greater cooperation among BRICS will______,A.promote global economic growth B.bring more challengesC.narrow the gap of development D.solve Europe’s economic crisis 4.Which of the following is the driver of the economic growth in Africa?______.A.T he development of business industryB.P rotective exploration in mineral productsC.T he recovery of the infrastructureD.T he benefits of having no financial crisisPassage 5What makes a person a scientist?Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others?The answer is “no”.It isn't the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools which makes him a scientist.You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter.You will probably agree,too,that knowing how to investigate,how to discover information,is important to everyone.The scientist,however,goes one step further;he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer he gets to many questions is into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist's knowledge must be exact.There's no room for half right or right just half the time.He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit.What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times.If the conditions are different,any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions.This is one reason why investigations are important in science.Albert Einstein,who developed the Theory of Relativity,arrived at this theory through mathematics.The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigation.Einstein's ideas were proved to be correct.A scientist uses many tools for measurements.Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.1.What makes a scientist according to the passage?A.The tools he uses.B.His ways of learning.C.The way he uses his tools.D.The various tools he uses.2.“…knowing how to investigate,how to discover information,is important to everyone.”The writer says this to show_______.A.the importance of informationB.the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleC.the importance of thinkingD.the difference between carpenters and ordinary people3.A sound scientific theory should be one that_______.A.works under one set of conditions at one time and also works under the same conditions at other timesB.leaves no room for improvementC.doesn't allow any change even under different conditionsD.can be used for many purposes4.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Scientists are different from ordinary people.B.The Theory of Relativity.C.Exactness is the core of science.D.Exactness and way of using tools are the keys to making of a scientist.Passage 6A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal attack—when a touch ofhumor might well enable us to win.Consider the case of a young friend of mine,who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum about being late on the job.Although there was a good reason for Sam’s a being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer.His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.Yes,the boss was.Sam entered the office at 9:35.The place was as quiet as a locker room;everyone was hard at work.Sam’s supervisor came up to him.Suddenly,Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand.“How do you do!” he said.“I’m Sam Maynard.I’m applying for a job,which,I understand,became available just 35 minutes ago.Does the early bird get the worm?”The room exploded in laughter.The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his office.Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win,a laugh.Humor is a most effective,yet frequently neglected,means of handling the difficult situations in our lives.It can be used for patching up differences,apologizing,saying “no”,criticizing,getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face.For some jobs,it’s the only tool that can succeed.It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel.For example,many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum.1.Why was Sam late for his job?A.Because he was ill.B.Because he got up late.C.Because he was caught in a traffic jam.D.He was busy applying for a new job.2.The main idea of this passage is ________.A.Sam Maynard saved his job with humorB.humor is important in our livesC.early bird gets the wormD.humor can solve racial discriminations3.The phrase “clamped off” in Paragraph 3 means ________.A.tried to hold back B.tried to set C.charged D.gave out 4.Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage?A.Many lose life’s battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor.B.It wasn’t the first time that Sam came late for his work.C.Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.D.Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.Passage 7BEIJING,March 9—The central government will require an additional three years of use for official vehicles for ministers and governors to reduce the costs of purchasing new cars,media have reported.The new rule has been applied among all Party and government departments nationwide,the Beijing News reported on Tuesday.The new rule has not yet been made public,said Li,a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference National Committee.Under the old rules,the cars used by minister-level officials could be replaced as often as every five years,Li said.These officials will also keep the same cars when they assume new posts,he added.The new rule also reiterated that officials ranking below minister-or-governor-levels should not be allocated cars.The cars possessed by their departments should be used on demand.“It violates the rules for lower-ranking—even county-level-officials to be allocated cars,” Li said.Purchases of vehicles for official use have been heavily investigated,as they account for a large expenditure of public funds every year.A survey on the Web news www.ifeng.com found 64 percent of respondents believed the new rule will be difficult to carry out because it is related to officials’interests.“Local government departments had halted approvals for requests for such vehicles and had started to work on new quotas under the new rules,” Li said.“The future reform of official vehicle use will introduce market mechanisms and monetization.”Premier Wen Jiabao said in the annual government work report on Saturday that expenditures on such vehicles will not increase in 2011 compared with a year ago.Beijing’s standing deputy mayor Ji Lin last week said the municipal government will release the number of vehicles for official use in the capital as early as at the end of this month.Earlier this month,the Minister of Finance had published a rule regulating the budgets for such vehicles.1.What is the purpose of the new rule allocating vehicles among officials?A.To promote a low-carbon lifestyle.B.To cut down the present huge expenditures of purchasing cars.C.To make good use of budgets for official cars.D.To solve the problem of severe traffic jam.2.How often could the cars used by minister-level officials be replaced according to the new rule?A.Every 3 years.B.Every 5 years.C.Every 8 years.D.Every 10 years.3.What about the officials ranking below minister-or-governor levels in terms of official vehicles?A.They can still possess special cars.B.They can use their own private cars.C.They can use cars whenever officially necessary.D.They can be allocated second-hand cars.4.What is the public’s attitude toward the new rule’s fulfillment?A.Uncertain.B.Optimistic.C.Indifferent.D.Passive 5.From the passage,we can infer that_________.A.the government is determined to carry out the new ruleB.the new rule has not yet been made publicC.the new rule will benefit official’s interestD.the new rule is applied to minister-level officialsPassage 8Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States,yet she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies.As she once said to herself:" I would never sit back in a rocking chair,waiting for someone to help me." No one could have had a more productive old age.She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State,one of five boys and five girls.At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until,at twenty-seven,she married Thomas Moses,the hired hand of one of her employers.They farmed most of their lives,first in Virginia and then in New York State,at Eagle Bridge.She had ten children,of whom five survived;her husband died in 1927.Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby,but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time.Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted.Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art,and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York.Between the 1930's and her death,she produced some 2,000 pictures:detailed and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long,with a wonderful sense of color and form."I think really hard till I think of something really pretty,and then I paint it" she said.1.According to the passage,Grandma Moses began to paint because she wanted to________.A.make herself beautiful B.keep activeC.earn more money D.become famous2.Grandma Moses spent most of her life________.A.nursing B.painting C.embroidering D.farming 3.The underlined word “portrayals ”means________.A.descriptions B.expressions C.explanations D.impressions 4.From Grandma Moses' description of herself in the first paragraph,it can be inferred that she was________.A.independent B.pretty C.rich D.nervous 5.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Grandma Moses:Her Life and Pictures.B.The Children of Grandma Moses.C.Grandma Moses:Her Best Exhibition.D.Grandma Moses and Other Older Artists.Passage 9Scientists say they now have proof to support the old-fashioned advice that it’s best to sleep on a problem.They say sleep strengthens the memory and helps the brain organize the masses of information we receive each day.The lead researcher Bob Stickgold at Harvard Medical School said,“Sleep helps us draw rules from our experiences.It’s like knowing the difference between dogs and cats even if it’s hard to explain.”The US research team studied how well students remembered connections between words and symbols,reports New Scientist.They compared how the students performed if they had had a sleep between seeing the words and having the test,and if they had not slept.They found that people were better able to remember lists of related words after a night’s sleep than after the same time spent awake during the day.They also found it easier to remember themes that the words had in common.But they forgot around one in four more themes if they had been awake.Prof.John Groeger,University of Surrey’s Sleep Research Centre,said,“People have been trying for years to find out what the purpose of sleep is,as we know thatonly certain parts of it have a restorative value.”“We form and store huge numbers of experiences in the head every day,and sleep seems to be the way the brain deals with them all.”1.The phrase “to sleep on a problem” in Paragraph 1 most likely means “________”.A.to pay full attention to a problemB.to wait until the next day for a decisionC.to sleep to forget a problemD.to have difficulty in sleeping2.In the study by the US research team,students were asked to________.A.put together words of similar meaningsB.remember words and their meaningsC.show their knowledge of wordsD.make up lists of related words3.Which of the following may be easier to remember?A.Themes learned right before the test.B.Rules from personal experiences.C.Words learned before a good sleep.D.Ideas stored together in the brain.4.What may be the importance of the research?A.It shows that sleep may help us manage information.B.It helps find out the common themes of words.C.It tells us that more sleep can improve health.D.It proves the value of old-fashioned advice.Passage 10It’s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm rings in my ears.I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom.I turn on the light and put on my glasses.The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully.Usually I go for a long run,but today I choose my favorite exercise DVDinsanity.Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes.My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement.As I near the end of the exercise,I feel extremely tired,but a smile is of my face.It’s a smile because the DVD is over,but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.Some people enjoy shopping,smoking,food,work,or even chocolate.But I need exercise to get through each day.Some shake heads when they see me run through the town.Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake.They raise their eyebrows,surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad.Over the years,I have learned it’s okay to just say “no.” I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want to eat.So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.?What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream?Commitment.A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety,increases self–confidence and energy,extends life and above all improves my body shape.This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right.It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.1.Why is there a smile on the author’s face in the morning?A.Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.B.Because she finishes her favorite exerciseC.Because she enjoys the interesting DVDD.Because she feels a sense of achievement2.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A.She doesn’t like others r politelyB.She likes to make others surprisedC.Others don’t understand what she does.D.Others try to help her by offering her food3.What does the underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean?A.Good health B.Firm beliefC.A strong power D.A regular half4.What can we learn about the author from the text?A.She acts in a strange wayB.She wants to look different from othersC.She aims to develop a good body shapeD.She has difficult getting along with othersPassage 11“Drink your milk.It’s good for you!” You’ve probably heard that many times,and it’s true.Milk contains calcium,which is necessary for keeping bones and teeth healthy and strong.The US government even requires milk as part of the National School Lunch Program,saying that students should drink one cup of fat-free or low-fat milk every meal.However,a group of doctors asked the government to take it away from the lunch program.The US ‘Physician Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) says,“Milk is high in sugar,fat and animal protein,” all of which have negative effects on health.The PCRM says there are better and healthier ways to get calcium such as eating beans,broccoli,cereals and tofu.Orange juice and soymilk that have calcium added to them also supply the nutrient.“One of the only reasons people prefer milk is because it is going to help build strong bones,” says Dr Neal Barnard,president of the PCRM.But milk may not be the best way to get calcium your body needs.Of course,calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth,but there are other things that affect your bone strength,such as genes,how much vitamin D you take in,and getting an hour’s worth of exercise every day.Some people disagree with the idea that milk isn’t important.Keri Gans,an American Dietitian,says “I don’t think it’s irresponsible to take this beverage that children enjoy it very much,especially among those who are unable to meet their nutrient needs for the day,and remove it from the lunch line.”The U.S government is now considering the request of the PCRM,but a decision may be a long way off.Meanwhile,Marion Nestle,a professor puts it best:“Milk certainly has nutrients.Other food has the same nutrients.It’s just food.As with other food,too much might be a problem.”1.The U.S.government requires milk as part of the National School Lunch Program .A.as a result of the request of the PCRMB.because milk is the best way to get calciumC.as drinking milk is good for bones and teethD.because milk is known to be fat-free or low-fat2.The PCRM proposed that milk be removed from the lunch program because .A.American children are taking in too much calcium and suffering itB.drinking milk is not the best way to get the calcium your body needsC.drinking milk has more negative effects than positive ones on healthD.new researches prove that milk is not high in calcium as beans or tofu 3.The underlined word “beverage” in the 4th paragraph probably means “”.A.food B.game C.plan D.drink 4.According to the author,.A.milk should be removed from the lunch programB.it is irresponsible to take milk out of the lunch lineC.it is up to the children to decide what to do with the milkD.it will take a long time for the government to makes a final decisionPassage 12Britain’s oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 101.Mr.John Evans had never found the time or money to make the trip from his home in Forest Fach,near Swansea.But,when British Rail offered him an all-expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital he just could not refuse.He arrived at Paddington Station and smartly turned out in his best suit,favoritePanama hat and a red rose in his buttonhole.“It’s very exciting.There’s no doubt about it,” he said.Until yesterday he had never been far from home,except for one trip to Aberdeen.“But I’ve been on the seas to that faraway land called Ilfracombe 21 miles from home,” he joked.Mr Evans,who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales,almost made the journey to London once before,at the turn of the century.“There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings return from Swansea — too much I thought.All my money went to the family then,” he said.During the next two days Mr Evans will be taken on a short tour of London to see the sights.Top of his list is a visit to the House of Parliament organized by his MP,Mr Gareth Wardell.The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided for him if he gets tired.“I don’t like the chair —people will think I am getting old.”he said.His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized — no wine,no tobacco and no anger.Before setting off from Swansea with his 76-year-old son,Amwell,he said jokingly,“I’m glad to see they’ve given me a return ticket.”1.The very reason that Mr Evans didn’t go to see the world is that _________.A.he had already been on the

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It's very likely that you'll want to have volunteers to help with the organization's activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.Let's begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people's wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g. "I volunteer because it's important to me") to an external factor (e.g. "I volunteer because I'm required to do so"). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to "training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience".Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view "volunteer" as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as "Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am." Consistent with the researchers' expectations, they found a positive correlation(正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice: "Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity....Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity".(1)People volunteer mainly out of __________.A. academic requirementsB. social expectationsC. financial rewardsD. internal needs(2)What can we learn from the Florida study?A.Follow-up studies should last for one year.B.Volunteers should get mentally prepared.C.Strategy training is a must in research.D.Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.(3)What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?A.Individual differences in role identity.B.Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.C.Role identity as a volunteer.D.Practical advice from researchers.(4)What is the best title of the passage?A.How to Get People to VolunteerB.How to Study Volunteer BehaviorsC.How to Keep Volunteers' InterestD.How to Organize Volunteer Activities【答案】(1)D(2)B(3)C(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了怎样让人们去做志愿者的一些方法。

高中英语阅读理解最新高考试题精选百度文库一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解The founder of electric supercar maker Rimac has said it won't make sense for people to own or drive their own cars in the coming decades.According to Rimac, most people will no longer own or operate their own cars in the future. Instead, vehicles will be shared, self—driving and electric. These changes are already starting. "There will be people who still want to own their cars and drive their cars and I am happy for that because that is our business," Rimac said. "Long term, I think 20 years down the road, it will be totally changed and people will not own or drive their cars anymore." Rimac's most recent car, the C—Two, comes off the production line next year.Rimac is well aware the industry is changing quickly due to the rise of self-driving vehicles and electric batteries, and says in the next 20 years driving as we know it may exist mainly as a hobby. "I really believe that humanity goes for things that make sense." he told Newsweek. "If you look at 1.3 million people dying every year on the roads, if you look at the impact it has on economies based on traffic jams and time lost, it's so much of a negative impact to society that I think such a huge benefit can be gained if people stop driving.""Let's look into the future. You are standing in front of the choice of either investing a huge amount of your money in buying a hunk of metal and plastic for 30, 40, 50 thousand dollars, or you have the convenient option of paying as you go, the car picks you up in a few minutes, it's a nice environment and youspend a few dollars per day on your transport.""When you take the driver out of the car, transport can be much cheaper and you can use the time to do other things, instead of sitting behind a steering(转向)wheel and not doing anything else. So I think the choice for the vast majority of people will be the obvious one."(1)What can we learn from paragraph 2?A.The majority of people will purchase cars.B.Huge changes will take place in car industry.C.Driving cars will enjoy more popularity.D.The car business is gradually disappearing.(2)What is a major cause of the fast change in the car industry?A.The rapid growth of self-driving cars.B.The rise of shared vehicles.C.The increasing demand of customers.D.The advanced production line.(3)How does Rima feel about the future of self-driving cars?A.Uncertain.B.Confused.C.Optimistic.D.Frightened.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Self-driving cars meet new challenges.B.Self-driving cars avoid human errors.C.Possessing or driving cars won't be a must.D.Conventional cars will be completely replaced.【答案】(1)B(2)A(3)C(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,讲述了由于自动驾驶车辆和电池的兴起,在不远的将来人们不用再买车和驾车,此外自动驾驶车辆将给社会和环境带来巨大好。

2.阅读理解Families around the country are finding new options for their children's midday meal thanks to a growing number of delivery options catering to students. Kiddos Catering in Chicago adoptsa method of providing restaurant meals to schools that contract with it. Owner Michelle Moses and her staff work with area restaurants to create a variety of kid-friendly choices and deliver the meals to the schools five days a week. Parents select the lunches from an online order form that lists the day's featured restaurant and its menu choices."Each day is a different restaurant with six to 10 menu options," she said. "It offers so much choice to kids." The service appeals to parents because they think their children are less likely to toss out restaurant food than a packed lunch, Ms. Moses said. The schools appreciate that Moses handles the ordering, payment, pickup, and food distribution in the cafeteria. "Schools really want to be in the business of educating kids," she said. "They don't want to be in the food and beverage(餐饮) business."That doesn't mean that schools always like it when teens (or parents) take it upon themselvesto order food through phone apps. Many schools have banned that practice, citing safety concerns about delivery drivers showing up at school unannounced and the burden of tracking down students to alarm them that their meals have arrived."These types of deliveries pose an unnecessary security risk for students and staff," said Bernard Watson, director of community relations for Gwinnett County Public Schools in Suwanee, Ga. "In addition, our award-winning school nutrition program provides students with a wide variety of tasty, nutritious meals on-site, so there is no need to order food from outside."Jacob Levin, a recent graduate of Bexley High School in Bexley, Ohio, relied on a sub shop to deliver a sandwich to him during lunchtime meetings or other appointments thatconflicted with his lunch period. "It was a convenient option. In most cases, I would not have been able to eat at school if it weren't for the delivery option," he said. "Having a restaurant-quality sub also was much more enjoyable than cafeteria food."(1)What can we learn about Kiddos Catering?A. It should be ordered online.B. It is a non-profit food program.C. It delivers the meals to the schools twice a day.D. It mainly offers the featured dishes of a restaurant.(2)What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. The aim of the food and beverage business.B. A suitable time for school meals.C. Advantages of the delivering school lunch.D. An alternative to the school cafeteria.(3)What is Bernard Watson's concern for delivering food?A. It's less healthy than that in the school cafeteria.B. It causes a potential danger to students.C. It attracts students' attention to study.D. Its arrival is usually not punctual.(4)What is Jacob Levin's attitude to the change of the school lunch?A. Neutral.B. Careless.C. Supportive.D. Unfavorable.【答案】(1)A(2)C(3)B(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文。
