【高三考前冲刺卷(五)】ABoys need friends,suffer when they don’t believe they have any,and worry over the ups and downs of relationships.Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do,in truth,though,no boy is an island;boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers.Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships,most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives,and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are.A recent study of 10to15yearold boys and girls found that girls’friendships are actually more fragile.Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys,and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”;they love games with rules,competition,and doing things together.Boys seem to enjoy,even need the opportunity to test themselves against others,and many lasting friendships begin in karate (空手道) class or on the basketball petence and skill are widely respected;being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt (萦绕心头) a boy for years.As boys mature,the friendship becomes even more important,and it frequently widens to include girls.During the teen years,friends can become the most important part of a boy’s life—and a part in which his parents are not included.The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends.There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”,someone he can trust.They may be partners in crime or partners in study,but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.26.The common belief of adults is that boys ________.A.don’t care about others as much as girlsB.don’t value friendships as much as girlsC.have the same friendship as girlsD.have healthier friendship than girls27.According to the passage,________.A.boys usually build friendships by playing competitive games B.boys like to have small groups of friendsC.boys’friendships seldom result in anyone being hurtD.boys’friendships can hardly end in failure28.The author mentions the study in Para.2 to prove ________.A.girls value relationships more than boysB.most boys consider their friends very importantC.boys may be better at keeping friendships than girlsD.boys may be more active in a friendship29.As a boy gets older,he tends to ________.A.widen his circle of friends to include his parentsB.shift his focus from his friends to himselfC.leave his parents out of his friendsD.be confused about what a friendship is30.What’s the best title of the passage?A.Friendships Between Boys and GirlsB.Boys and Their FriendshipC.Childhood and Adolescent FriendshipD.Tips on Making Friends with Boys26.B [细节理解题。

Brooklyn,NewYork.Ginsburg’s mother implanted a love of education in Ginsburg through her devotion to her brother.She graduated first in her class at Columbia Law in 1959.Even her eic record was not enough to shelter her from the gender-based discrimination women faced in the workplace in the 1960s.She had difficulties finding a job until a favorite Columbia professor directly refused to recommend any other graduates before U.S.District Judge Edmund L hired Ginsburg as a clerk for two years.After this,she was offered some jobs at law firms,but always at a much lower salary than her male colleagues.She instead took some time to pursue her other legal passion,civilprocedure,choosing to join the Columbia Project on International Civil Procedure.In 1963,she accepted a job as a professor at Rutgers University Law School.And in 1972,she became the first female professor at Columbia to earn tenure(终身职位).Ginsburg also directed the influential Women’s Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union during the 1970s.In this position,she led the fight against gender discrimination and successfully argued six landmark cases before the U.S.Supreme Court.Ginsburg took a broad look at gender discrimination,fighting not just for the women left behind,but for the men who were discriminated against as well.Ginsburg accepted Jimmy Carter’s appointment to the U.S.Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in 1980.She served on the court for thirteen years until 1993,when Bill Clinton nominated(提名) her to the Supreme Court of the United States.Ginsburg began her

Age in the 1960s.In those days,pilots were considered the most well-trained professionals,so military fliers were first in line to go to space.More recently,people from a wide range of professional backgrounds—doctors,scientists,and even teachers—have trained to live and work in near-Earth orbit.Even so,those selected to go to space must meet high standards.People who want to become astronauts must be in top physical condition.Each country’s space program has health requirements for its space travelers.They usually asses s a candidate’s fitness to withstand some pretty tough conditions.For eust have the abilityto endure the rigors of lift-off and to function in weightlessness.All astronauts must have good visual acuity and normal blood pressure.Beyond that,there is no age limit.Most astronaut trainees are between the ages of 25 and 46,although older people have also flown to space later in their careers.People who go to space are usuallyself-confident,risk-takers,adept at stress management and multitasking.They also need to be able to work as part of a team for any given assignment.On Earth,astronauts are usually required to perform various public relations duties,such as speaking to the public,working with other professionals,and sometimes even testifying before government officials.So,astronauts who can relate well to many different kinds of people are seen as valuable team members.Often,astronauts have a background as scientists and many have high-level degrees,like Ph.Ds.Others have military training or space industry expertise.Regardless of their background,once anastronaut is accepted into a country’s space program,he or she goes through rigorous training to actually live and work in space.5.Which of the following is of least importance to an astronaut?A.Normal blood pressure.B.Good eyesight.C.Tough body.D.Young age.6.Why are astronauts asked to perform public duties?A.To make them famous among people.B.To relieve their feeling of tension.C.To raise their awareness of teamwork.D.To promote public interest in the aerospace.7.What could be the best title for the passage?A.Everyone Can Be an AstronautB.The Professional Qualities

2023版新教材高考英语一轮总复习:UNIT 3 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解ANational Space Centre, LeicesterAn interactive museum of super-size space experiences: from a giant planet Earth you can touch to the UK's biggest domed planetarium (穹顶天文台) and a 42-metre rocket tower. You can't miss the latter as you drive into Leicester — the structure looks like it's wrapped in giant inflatable pillows. Inside, it houses Blue Streak and Thor Able rockets. Take in the full scale of them by riding a glass-sided lift up to the viewing platform. Elsewhere, there are six galleries with plenty of buttons to press and screens to touch. It's all under cover so it's a good place to visit on a rainy day!What about lunch?The Boosters Cafe serves reasonably priced hot and cold snacks and drinks (hot dog from £4.95, plus jacket potatoes, soups, sandwiches and salads) at the foot of the centre's two rockets. The cafe offers vegetarian and vegan options too.Getting thereThere is a regular bus service (No.54 with a stop two minutes' walk from the centre), as well as a park and ride service from Birstall. East Midlands Trains and Cross-Country Trains operate services to Leicester station, from which the centre is a 25-minute bus ride. If driving, it's just off the A6, north of the city centre. Parking is £3 for the day.Value for moneyIt's not cheap — adult: £15, 5 to 16-year-old: £12, but once you've paid you can revisit as many times as you want in a year, and admission is free for kids under five.Opening hours10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday to Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. weekends and school holidays.语篇解读:本文是一篇应用文。

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

课时作业37 CloningⅠ.阅读理解(2015·山西忻州一中月考)Cooking food over a smoky fire is found everywhere in the world. It is often difficult to find wood for the fire. People who do not have wood must spend large amounts of money on cooking fuel. However, there is a much easier way to cook food using energy from the sun. Solar cookers, or ovens, have been used for centuries.A Swiss scientist made the first solar oven in 1767. Today, people are using solar cookers in many countries around the world. People use solar ovens to cook food and to heat drinking water to kill bacteria and other harmful organisms.There are three kinds of solar ovens. The first is a box cooker. It is designed with a special wall that shines or reflects sunlight into the box. Heat gets trapped under a piece of glass or plastic covering the top of the cooker. A box oven is effective for slow cooking of large amounts of food.The second kind of solar oven is a panel(嵌板式) cooker. It includes several flat walls, or panels, which directly reflect the sun's light onto the food. The food is inside a separate container of plastic or glass that traps heat energy. People can build panel cookers quickly and with very few supplies. They do not cost much. In Kenya, for example, panel cookers are being manufactured for just two dollars.The third kind of solar oven is a parabolic(抛物线的) cooker. It has rounded walls that aim sunlight directly into the bottom of the oven. Food cooks quickly in parabolic ovens. However, these cookers are hard to make. They must be reai med often to follow the sun. Parabolic cookers can also cause burns and eye injuries if they are not used correctly.You can make solar ovens from boxes or heavy paper. They will not catch fire. Paper burns at 232 degrees Celsius. A solar cooker never gets that hot. Solar ovens cook food at low temperatures over long periods of time. This permits people to leave food to cook while they do other things.To learn more about solar cooking, you can write to Solar Cookers International. The postal address is ni neteennineteen TwentyFirst Street, Sacramento, California, ninefiveeightoneone, USA. Or you can visit the group's Internet Web site. The address is .1.How long is the first solar cookers invented?A.About 1767 year.B.More than 300 years.C.More than 250 years.D.Less than 250 years.2.In which of the following column could we find the passage?A.Development Report.B.Agricultural Report.C.Health Report.D.Education Report.3.Which of the following is TRUE?A.The first suncooker was made by a Swiss soldier.B.Parabolic cookers can be dangerous sometimes.C.Suncookers often get hotter than 232℃.D.It is more expensive to cook with a suncooker than on fire.4.Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?A.Different Ways of CookingB.The History of the Solar CookersC.How to Choose Solar CookersD.Cooking Meals with the Sun for Fuel答案与解析1.D 细节理解题。

Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn pr oduced influence on consumers’ desire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns. Two thirds of customers say that environmental consideration s inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a yea r ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even b etter aware of the environmental effect on what they buy. This may help to influence how shops store goods on their sh elves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible compani es, with about one in seven saying that they had even decide d to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s envir onmental reputation was not good enough.Harry Morrison, chief executive(主管)of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes:“I understand this situation where survival is very important no w. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an i mmediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducin g their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require bu sinesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissi ons(排放). Those that have taken early action will have a head star t. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about whic h companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests t hat firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the pu blic will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing custo mers about the good work companies are doing. “When comp anies are granted(授予)the standard, they can use a logo (标识)in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are workin g towards cutting emissions,” Mr. Morrison said.( ) 1. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.B. Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.C. Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep g oods at home.D. Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers’ envi ronmental awareness.( ) 2.

2019版高考英语阅读理解一轮练题(7)李仕才AHe was there every morning, sitting motionless on the front steps of his house. In the morning light, I could see the shadows that were etched(蚀刻)deep within the lines surrounding his eyes.Each morning I walked this route with my daughter to her kindergarten class. We were new to the neighborhood so that I didn’t know many of my neighbors. On one beautiful autumn morning, as we passed his house, my daughter called out to him, “Hi, Mr. Man!” Always the outgoing child, I wasn’t sur prised at her enthusiasm. But her cheerfulness soon faded when the man didn’t look at her and say “Hi” back.As we continued on our walk to school, my daughter asked why the man didn’t want to say hi to her. Because I didn’t have an answer, I said simply, “Maybe he is having a bad day.” later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident.A few days later, as we approached Bob’s house on our way to school, my daughter called out “Hi Mr. Man!” and as usual, he didn’t respond. But then she ran onto his front lawn and picked up a beautiful red autumn leaf. She continued up one step and handed it to him. I held my breath.As she skipped back to me, she said, “See you tomorrow, Mr. Man!” This time, he acknowledged her. In a soft gentle voice, he thanked her and said, “See you tomorrow.”From then on, Bob and my daughter exchanged greeting each morning. Our friendship with Bob continued for many years. But, the sweetest day is when Bob attended my daughter’s high school graduation. Bob gave my daughter a gift---a book on identifying various plants and trees. There, tucked in the pages that described an oak tree, was the leaf my daughter had given to Mr. Man when they first met. He had dried and pressed it and kept it all those years.1.What puzzled the girl?A. Th e cause of the man’s sadnessB. The shadows in the man’s eyesC. The man’s sitting still on the stepsD.

They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆) or Alzheimer's.Alzheimer's can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing or drinking enough water.The dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers(触发器) in the home that cause them to perform tasks.The duties will include reminding their owners to take medicine, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep regularly.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the Disabled.The first dogs will be distributed to four Scottish couples, where one of the partners is in the early stages of dementia.Some 670,000 people in Britain have dementia and one in three over 65s will develop the condition.By 2021 this is expected to rise to one million.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said, "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine." Another advantage of using the pets as companions is that dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship.Ms Gray said, "The evidence is that people may forget familiar faces but not pets.It's such a strong bond that people often remember them longest.People don't need to communicate verbally (言语地) but they can still interact.You can have a speechless bond."Helen McCain, director of Dogs for the Disabled, said, "People with dementia often forget to take the medicine.If a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it there's a greater chance of them taking it.The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people."1.In Britain people with dementia _ _.A.are likely to increase in number B.are mostly over 65 years oldC.will be trained to respond to sound triggers D.will be able to live a relatively normal life2.The dogs are taught to perform tasks by -.A.making some sound signals B.communicating with the patientsC.reminding the patients by barking D.reacting to some sound triggers3.What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.Faces.B.Triggers.C.Pets.D.Companions.4.What is mainly talked about in the passage?A.The idea of dementia dogs was developed by students.B.Dogs are trained to assist Alzheimer's patients.C.British people with Alzheimer's are in poor condition.D.The dementia dogs perform most duties of a doctor.参考答案1—4、BCBD说理议论(阅读理解)由 (2013福建,D)改编Pride and Prejudice for the Modern WomanLet us imagine how Pride and Prejudice,Jane Austen’s most famous work,might be updated,200 years on.Austen’s popularity is rooted in her intelligence.But today she would certainly have had a very different life,as would her characters.Here’s my own suggestion...It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men,however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.“ My dear husband,” said his hopeful wife one day,“ have you heard that the local store,standing empty for so long,is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?”Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not.“But it is,it is,” she replied excitedly.Mr Dull-Husband made no reply.“Don’t you want to know her plans?” she cried with some impatience.“Well,clearly you think it matters to your silly little head...so I’d better listen.”“Well,my dear,the rumour (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England,though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me.She will move in herself next month.”“What is her name?”“Bingley.”“Is she married or single?”“What a question! And none of your business.But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys.”“How so? How can it possibly affect them? ”“My dear love: those lazy boys need something to wake them up.There are bound to be jobs going.”“ Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place.”“ Nonsense,my love,how little you’ve noticed the world has changed.She’s got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification,I’m told.She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call.”“ Me? No.Perhaps you can take an interest.You still have your looks,after all.She may even offer you a job.”“Oh,that’s not like ly.These new chances belong to the younger generation.But now you mention it,I think I’ll go along all the same.”And Mrs Bennet went along.That was 10 years ago.She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company....It would remain the case,of course,that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board,that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues,her bonus of a more “female” dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the city’s business leaders shorter than theirs.Still,she’d no dou bt have enjoyed Davos—and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures.1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?( )A.Austen was born 200 years ago.B.Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice.C.Austen’s success lies in her wisdom.D.Austen’s updated work gains popularity.2.The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet . A.had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about BingleyB.felt kind of worried and doubtful about BingleyC.was extremely anxious to meet BingleyD.had a great curiosity about Bingley3.In the eyes of Mrs Bennet,Bingley surely needed one of their boys to .A.get married toB.work for herC.help her move inD.take over her store4.What does the writer intend to tell us?( )A.Women with brains can also be as successful as men.B.Women have to pay a high price for success.C.A judgment must be made free from prejudice.D.Sex discrimination still exists nowadays.语篇解读:英国著名小说家简·奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》批判了性别歧视观念。

Many cities have subways and underground public transportat ion to take locals and tourists alike rapidly around the city.H owever, there’s something different about riding a London sub way.It may not look different, but the historical value of one of England’s most popular forms of transportation is enough t o make riding the subway a must when visiting London.With a little under 100 different stations, the subway can take you almost anywhere you need to go.Riding a London subway, a person from other countries will n otice one major difference: in London, people do not look at e ach other.In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times.That’s not rudeness ― people are just too busy to bother looking.Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using th e time for a moment of quiet thinking.Nor are they reading a book.New technology has replaced quiet habits.Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is a n e-book.Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters(使用月票上下班者).Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000―y es, that’s 40,000 “apps” have been designed.Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers.One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tank s.Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on t he train to be closest to the exit of their destination.iSteam cl ouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphon e.You can then write in the “steam” on your phone screen.For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction(消遣)of choice.It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music -iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied, then p erhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DV D technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV shows or films on the way to work.With all these distraction s, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train.1.Those who want to save time to reach where they go can download ______ to their iPhones.A.iShoot B.Tube Exits C.iSteam D.iPod2.People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because ______.A.they are going to work and have no time to communicate with each otherB.they love reading books and do not want to be disturbed C.they feel sleepy because of getting up earlyD.they are busy playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching films3.The underlined word “apps” in the fourth paragraph means ______.A.computers B.programs downloaded for the iPhon eC.computer companies D.fortune from commuters 4..The main idea of the passage is that ______.A. commuters are unfriendly to strangersB.Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40,000 apps C.technology is changing how commuters spend their travel ing timeD.riding a London subway is a must when visiting1.B细节理解题。

Below are some statements about the strike.Mr. Mike Smith:It wasn't an easy decision, but we have been asking for a reasonable wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We're only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. It's a pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by our strike, but please don't blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim.Mr. Tom Brown:It's totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to stop the prices going up. If wages go up, so do prices. If we give in to them, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis (危机) would become uncontrollable. We offer them a 10 percent increase. And that's already too much. My stand on the strike is to persuade the Union to see the reason.Mr. Bob Davis:Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldn't be allowed to strike. Of course the electricity workers want to get more money. Don't we all?Miss Stater:Let's face it. It's neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Perhaps we can't do anything about it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so they can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers' money all the time on unimportant things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is “too much”?Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It's just one of those things.A.Mr. Mike Smith. B.Mr. Tom Brown.C.Mr. Bob Davis. D.Miss Stater.解析:选A 细节理解题。

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

With all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dump, makes me feel good and warms my heart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friends, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy(礼貌)to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that don't have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say.Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face.They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting__a__gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space.How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to ignore the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.【语篇解读】面对生活中的不如意,保持一种幽默精神可以让人觉得心情更好。

In the long discussion of water on the Moon, a new study contradicts (与……相矛盾) some recent reports that say the Moon had water at the time of its formation. A group of researchers reports in the journal Science that when the Moon was created, some 4. 5 billion years ago, there was not much hydrogen (氢气) on it, and therefore no water.The researchers surveyed and evaluated this by analyzing chlorine isotopes found in lunar rock samples from Apollo missions. The range of chlorine (氯) isotopes in lunar samples was 25 times that found in samples from Earth.“If the Moon h ad significant levels of hydrogen, as Earth did, this range would have been far less,” said Zachary D. Sharp, a scientist in the D epartment of Earth and Planetary Sciences and the study’s lead author.“The chlorine would have stuck together with hydrogen, forming compounds like hydrogen chloride, and escaped from the Moon’s surface,”he said. The abundance of chlorine indicates a lac k of hydrogen and water.“The amount o f water on the Moon was way too low for life to have ever have possibly have existed there,” he said.Most scientists believe the Moon was formed when a large object struck Earth, breaking off a chunk (a vast piece) that has since orbited Earth.On Earth, goes one theory, water was released as steam from molten basalts (玄武岩) over time, eventually forming bodies of water.“An unders tanding of whether the Moon was dry or wet will help us understand how water appeared on Earth,” Dr. Sharp said.1. A new study indicates that on the moon.A. there is plenty of waterB. water is unlikely to existC. water existed in the pastD. there is a little water now2. The author would like to tell us through the sixth paragraph.A. why there is no water on the MoonB. how the Moon was formedC. when the Earth struck the MoonD. where the Moon orbited3. What does the under lined word “this” stand for in the second paragraph?A. Neither hydrogen nor water on the Moon.B. Too much chlorine isotopes on the Moon.C. Not being much hydrogen, no water on the Moon.D. More chlorine exists on the Moon than Earth.4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Zachary D. Sharp, a scientist of New Mexico was in charge of the new study.B. Chlorine isotopes are 25 times in lunar larger than Earth.C. The more abundant chloride, the shorter hydrogen and water.D. The new study is beneficial to understand how water appeared on Earth.5. What can we learn from the passage?A. There are enough water on the Earth.B. Hydrogen chloride easily escaped from the Moon’s surface.C. The Earth had significant levels of hydrogen.D. Water on the Earth is directly from molten basalts.【参考答案】1—4、BBCBC黑龙江省大庆市喇中2016高考英语阅读练习——科普环保类For as long as they can remember Jynne Martin and April Surgent had both dreamed of going to Antarctica.This winter,they each made it to the icy continent as guests of the National Science Foundation(NSF).Bm they didn’t go as scientists.Martin is a poet and Surgent is an artist.They went to Antarctica as participants.in the NSF’s Artists and Writers program.The NSF is thegovernment agency that funds scientific research in Antarctica.But it also makes it possible for artists,including filmmakers and musicians,to experience Antarctica and contribute their own points of view to our understanding of the continent.The mixing of science and art in Antarctica isn’t new.Some of the earliest explorersbrought along painters and photographers.Edward Wilson was a British painter,doctor,and bird expert who journeyed with RobertFalcon Soott on two separate Antamtic expeditionsmore than 100 years ago.Herbert Ponting was a photographer who also accompanied Scott on one of those expeditions.In hundreds of photos,Pontingcaptured the beauty of the continentand recorded the daily lives and heroic struggles of the explorers.Today’s scientists write articles forscientificjournals.Unlike theearly explorers’journals,scientific papers can now be very difficult for non-scientists to understand.Writers in Antarctica workto explain the research to the public.Peter Rejcek is editor,writer,and photographer for the Antarctic Sun,an onlinemagazine devoted to news about the U.S.Antarctic Program.Rejeck began his career in the Antarctic in 2003 by spending a year at the South Pole.He has returned everyyear since,interviewing,scientists about research at Palmer,McMurdo,and South Pole stations.There are also scientists in Antarctica who work hardto explain their research to the public.Scientist Diane McKnight wrote The Lost Seal,a children’s book that explains the research she and others are doing in an unusual ice-free area in Antarctica called the Dry Valleys.Antarctica is full of stories and wonders that are scientific,historic.and personal.

【2016高考训练】Suppose you are thinking about attending college in the United States, but perhaps you might not be ready for a university with a four-year program. About 88,000 international students have found solution. They are attending U.S. community colleges. Such colleges are sometimes called junior colleges. They offer two years of education above the secondary or high school level.Community college students can choose from subjects like medical assistance, computer science or law. At the end of their study program, they receive a document of completion, called a certificate. Some students work toward an associate degree in traditional academic subjects like science or history. After getting it, the students can move on to a four-year college or university. They may have only two years of study left before they receive a bachelor’s degree.Many educational experts agree that saving money is the major reason to consider a community college. The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) says that a public two-year college costs 3,000 dollar a year on average. That is true if the student lives in the same state as the school. A student at a four-year public college may pay 8,500 dollars a year for classes and user fees. That does not include books and other materials.Some international students may need more preparation in English before entering a community college in the United States. For example, Istrif Montgomery came to the U.S. from Kosovo in 2006. First, he worked to improve his English at Montgomery College for a year. Then for the next two years, he attended classes in basic subjects in a community college.The international students at two-year colleges need to find a place to live. Most community colleges do not provide student housing on their grounds. But Mr Montgomery had a home nearby. He was able to ride the bicycle, and he was able to walk if he wanted. In fact, most community college students live within five to ten miles off the college.1. What’s the biggest advantage of a community college?A. The classes are free of charge.B. The students can save much time.C. The students can save a lot of money.D. It is convenient for students to live in the college.2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Mr Montgomery usually goes to school on foot.B. Most students in community colleges don’t live far away.C. 8,500 dollars covers all the cost of a four-year public college.D. International students often attend a community college directly.3. What’s the main purpose of the passage?A. To encourage students to study abroad.B. To tell the international students how to save money.C. To tell us it’s a good choice to stud y in public colleges.D. To give some information about community colleges.参考答案1—3、CBD2016高考英语阅读理解--广告布告类Tired of Working in Your Country?With over 500 instructors and 20 years of experience, we are the leader in the field of teaching foreign languages.
