外研版高中英语必修一《阅读理解》专项练习题（含答案）Graham and his friends preferred to shoot up in their arms, necks and legs. A dealer once said Graham was the type who would never be able to turn back and that he expected him to die from the drug. Wendy feared the same, but di dn’t know how to save her son. “ Once, after he’d disappeared for more than a month, I found him at a friend’s house with a bunch of other users,” she said, “I got down on my hands and knees, begging him to come home. He did, but the next morning he was go ne. I don’t know what made him do it, but I drove 20 miles to the nearest train station. Graham was headed for Seattle, his pockets full of drugs. If I hadn’t gotten there in time, I would never have seen him alive again.”The turning point came in 2007, after Graham was arrested yet again for possession. Wendy got a call from the Montana Drugs Project, which works with local law enforcement（强制执行）to keep track of youth-related crimes so it can help families in trouble. Following a counselor’s advice, Wendy hired two men to come to her home in the middle of the night, tie Graham and take him to a treatment program in Thompson Falls, Montana. “I was high when they came and really angry with my mom,” he said, “But if she hadn’t done that, drugs would have killed me.” After six months of treatment, Graham, now 19, came back to Kalispell, where he’s grown close to Wendy once again. “I still have the desires every day and attend support meetings every night,” he said, “But life is worth living again. My mom thinks that’s a miracle. I guess she is right.”1．The underlined phrase “shoot up” in paragraph 1 probably means_________.A．increase very quickly and suddenlyB．put illegal drugs into the body by using a needleC．kill or injure someone by using a gunD．try to achieve a particular aim2．When the two men came to their home in the middle of the night, Graham _______.A．had just taken drugs and was in the state of excitement.B．was sleeping in a high bed above the ground.C．had just taken drugs and was in the state of suffering.D．was quarrelling with his mother.3．What conclusion can be drawn from the end of the passage?A．Graham is still using drugs now.B．Graham hates his mother very much.C．Graham thinks he can’t be saved.D．Graham has come off drugs now.The future of pinnipeds (鳍足动物)looks much brighter today than it once did. At one time, about 100 years ago, it seemed certain that many pinnipeds in the world would be destroyed by human hunters. Today, it appears that most species( 物种) of pinnipeds are out of danger.Hunting was not controlled during the 18th and 19th centuries, because little was known about the lives of pinnipeds. Whales and pinnipeds were hunted for the oil from their body fat. This oil was used in lamps before electric lights were invented. Millions of seals and other pinnipeds were used to provide oil for the lamps of the world. As a result, the numbers of many pinniped species fell rapidly.Several things happened that helped to save pinnipeds. First, species that were hunted to near extinction (灭绝) were left alone because their numbers were too low and the cost of hunting them went up greatly. At the same time, electric lights were invented and the market for seal oil became smaller. Finally, governments around the world made laws to protect pinnipeds.As a result of all these things, the numbers of most pinniped species have grown in recent years. With some species, such as Northern fur seals, there may be as many animals alive today as there were before all the hunting began.However, oil is still a danger to pinnipeds and all sea animals. But this time it’s not because they are hunted for their oil. The oil that puts them in danger is from oil spills(泄露) in the sea. The oil covers their fur and reduces their body temperatures. Oil also sticks to the foods they eat. This modern danger to pinnipeds and their environment is one we must work to prevent.4．During the 18th and 19th century, _______.A．people had realized the importance of pinnipedsB．pinnipeds were hunted for their meatC．pinnipeds had a better life than todayD．many families were using lamps5．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．How electric lights were invented.B．When people began to protect pinnipeds.C．What governments around the world have done to save pinnipeds.D．Why the numbers of some pinnipeds have increased.6．It can be inferred from the passage that________.A．the market for seal oil is growingB．Northern fur seals aren’t in much danger nowC．oil spills are the biggest problem for pinnipedsD．stricter laws need to be made to protect pinnipeds7．In which part of a magazine can we most probably read this passage?A．Wildlife. B．Lifestyle.C．Tourism. D．Environment.When we want to tell other people what we think, we can do it with the help of words. We can also do it in many other ways, too. Sometimes we move our heads up and down when we want to say “yes”, and we shake our heads when we want to say “no ”. Some people can’t hear or speak. They talk with the help of gestures（手势）. People from other countries often have to do it if they don’t know your language.Here is a story. An American was once having his holiday in Italy, but he could not speak Italian. One day he went to a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, the American opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. In this way he wanted to say “Bring me something to eat”. The w aiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The American shook his head and the waiter understood that he didn’t want tea. So he took it away and brought him a glass of milk. The American shook his head again. He was very hungry now and looked sad. He was just going to leave the restaurant when another man came in. When this man saw the waiter, he put his hands on his stomach(胃). In a few minutes there was a large plate of bread and meat on the table in front of him.8．Sometimes people move their heads when they want to say “yes”.A．right and left B．fast and slowC．hard and easy D．up and down9．If people want to say , they may shake their heads.A．“no”B．“yes”C．“words”D．“OK”10．If you can’t , you may talk with the help of gestures.A．write and read B．say or singC．hear and speak D．go or comeAsia’s mountain glaciers (冰川) will lose at least a third of their mass through global warming by the century’s end, with serious consequences for millions of people who rely on them for fresh water, researchers have said. The high mountains of Asia consist of a geographical region surrounding the Tibetan Plateau, holding the biggest store of frozen water outside the poles. It feeds many of the world’s great rivers, including the Ganges, the Indus and the Y arlung Zangbo River, on which hundreds of millions of people depend.Nearly 200 nations adopted the Paris Agreement in 2015, which sets the goal of limiting warming to a level of “well below” 2°C, while “pursuing efforts” to achieve a lower ceiling of 1.5°C．Earth’s surface has already warmed by about 1°C, according to scientists.The Asian high mountains, the new study said, were already warming more rapidly than the global average. A global temperature rise of 1.5°C would mean an average increase in the region of about 2.1°C, with differences between mountain ranges - all of which will warm by more than 1.5°C．The Hindu Kush mountain range would warm by about 2.3°C and the eastern Himalaya Mountains by 1.9°C, the study forecast.“Even if temperatures stabili ze at their current level, (glacier) mass loss will continue for decades to come,” the researchers added. “For the high mountain glaciers to survive, it is vital to reduce the global temperature increase to the lowest possible level.”A study in July in the journal Nature Climate Change said there was only a 5% chance of holding global warming under 2°C．For 1.5°C, the chance was about 1%. On current trends, some experts project Earth is on track to warm by about 3°C．11．What is stressed about Asia’s mountai n glaciers in the first paragraph?A．The reason for its melting.B．Its importance.C．Its geographical condition.D．The consequences caused by its decrease.12．What do we know about the temperature on the earth’s surface?A．It keeps up its normal level.B．It has risen too much since the Paris Agreement was made.C．It is far below the level that the Paris Agreement demands.D．It is near the lower ceiling that the Paris Agreement demands.13．How may we guarantee these glaciers, continued existence, according to researchers?A．Hold global warming under 2°C．B．Try to save water as much as we can.C．Keep global temperature increase to a minimum.D．Make the global temperature stable at its current level.14．How does the author develop the passage?A．Giving examples. B．Describing.C．Presenting data. D．Comparing.The poaching，or illegal killing，of rhinos(犀牛) in South Africa is growing worse each year．The government recently reported that a record number of rhinos were poached in 2014，a year which had more rhino killings in South Africa than ever before．The World Wildlife Fund，or WWF，says about 20，000 rhinos live in South Africa．That is more than 80 percent of the rhinos in the world．Edna Molewa，South Africa’s environmental issues minister，says，“During 2014，we are sad to say this，1，215 rhinos were killed．This is a rise in the number of poached rhinos from 1004 in 2013 and indeed very worrying．”The animals are hunted for their horns(犀牛角)．Many people in Asia believe the horn has curing power，which drives poachers，at all costs，mad for more horns．But there is no scientific evidence for this belief．The horn is made of keratin．That is the same thing as human hair，fingernails and toenails．Ms．Mo1ewa said 386 suspected poachers were arrested last year，an increase from the year before．But rhino protection workers say poachers often go unpunished after arrest．SouthAfrica’s legal system is ineffective．Ms．Molewa said more needs to be done and South Africa is taking strong measures to protect rhinos．The efforts include moving some of the animals to secret places in neighboring countries．“Now approximately 100 rhinos have been moved to neighboring states in the SADC region during 2014 and 200 more rhinos will be moved this year”Molewa said．Jo Shaw，the rhino program manager at the WWF，said，“we’re talking about a loss of a hundred rhinos a month．Or more than three a day．We really need to see effective action not just at a national level but internationally．”She says officials should find the criminal groups responsible for the poaching and punish them．Government officials are to meet in Botswana in March at the Inter-governmental Conference on Illegal Wildlife Trade．15．What do we know about rhinos?A．Half of the rhinos live in South Africa．B．Less than 1，000 rhinos were killed in 2013．C．The killing reached the highest point in 2014．D．There are only 20，000 rhinos left in the world．16．What is the main reason for people to hunt rhinos?A．To get more keratin．B．To protect the farmland．C．To use them for decoration．D．To make money from horns．17．Jo Shaw thinks that_________．A．many criminal groups are well organizedB．new laws are needed to punish the killersC．rhino protection needs international cooperationD．conferences about protecting rhinos are to be held every year18．What can we infer from the text?A．Rhino protection has a long way to go．B．No one would like to buy horns in the future．C．The illegal killing of rhinos will soon disappear．D．Rhinos living in South Africa will move to other countries．A typical school day in the UK starts around 8:30 am. This is often even earlier elsewhere in the world, with students sitting down to their first lesson at 7:30 am in the US. The average teenager ideally needs eight to nine hours’ sleep each night, but in reality a lot of teenagers struggle to get this much. A lot of the problems happen because our sleep patterns are not fixed, and they change as we grow.So a later school start time could help to solve this problem, by ensuring to get their eight plus hours of sle ep and react properly to their body’s natural rhythms(规律). There has been a general change over the past 25 years to shorten the school day, This is not at the cost of teaching time (which has remained constant) but at the cost of natural breaks, which has led to reduced lunch time and lesson breaks.Later start times could help teens’ grades and health. This is mainly because it makes the management of children easier. Managing hundreds of children “playing” requires effective staffing. And there is always the fear that behavior worsens during breaks. So the theory goes that having them in class and strictly managed must be better.But this means that students barely have enough time to absorb what they were doing in maths before suddenly they are forced to study ancient history. And teaching staff also move through from one class to another, with hardly a rest or time to refocus.Clearly rethinking the school day could benefit everyone included. Anyway, it could also lead to better achievement in teenagers and less of a struggle for parents in the mornings. For teachers, it could also mean a less stressful day all around and what could be better than that?19．At what time do the students start their first lesson in the US?A．7:00 B．7:30C．8:00 D．8:3020．How do schools often shorten the school day?A．They reduce children’s lunch time and lesson breaks.B．They reduce the teaching time.C．They properly adjust c hildren’ natural rhythms.D．They increase more holidays.21．What’s the purpose of the short lesson breaks according to the text?A．To make children behave better in class.B．To make children quickly take in what they learned.C．To reduce children’s excitem ent.D．To manage children more easily.22．What can we learn about later school start time from the text?A．It will add to the teacher’s pressure.B．It has always been there for 25 years.C．Parents may support it.D．It benefits the students only.In Alaska, the US, the grizzly bears are not alone because of Timothy Treadwell. Everyone knows that grizzly bears can be very dangerous to people. However, people can be perilous to grizzly bears, too, because their fur and food are beneficial for some people. In fact, half of the grizzly bears die before they are five years old, even though they can live for about 30 years.Grizzly bears hibernate every winter. They sleep for several months. During this period, they don’t wake up or eat anything. When they wak e up in the spring, the grizzlies are in danger. But Timothy can protect them. He sleeps in a tent near the bears and bathes in a river with them. People do not hurt the bears when Timothy is with them.Timothy went to Alaska for the first time about 17 years ago. He was attracted by the beauty of the land and the prettiness of the animals. When he learned that people kill many grizzly bears every year, Timothy determined to protect the grizzly bears and to keep the bears safe from danger, so he lives with the bears for four to five months every year. At the beginning, Timothy’s parents didn’t agree, but later, they firmly supported him to do so, because they also wanted to protect bears as him.Timothy has lived with the grizzlies every spring for about 17 years. Some bears are now his friends. He gave them names. His friend Booble sometimes gives him fish which he likes. His friend Lazy sleeps near his tent every night. Every winter, when the bears hibernate, Timothy returns to his home in California. Then he teaches children and adults about his friends in Alaska.23．What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word“perilous”in the first paragraph?A．Powerful B．Dangerous C．Generous D．Friendly24．How does Timothy protect grizzly bears?A．Timothy lives with bears for four to five months every year to protect them.B．Timothy protects the bears every year with the help of his friends in Alaska.C．Timothy’s parents help him to protect the bears together.D．Timothy set up some tents for the bears to escape from danger.25．From the passage, we know that ________.A．People don’t hurt the bears because they are afraid of Timothy’s gun.B．Timothy went to Alaska to enjoy the beauty of the land.C．Timothy lives in peace and harmony with the dangerous bears.D．Booble enj oys eating fish and sleeping near Timothy’s tent.26．The best title of the passage is ________.A．The Grizzly Bear B．Man and AnimalsC．Experience in Alaska D．The Bear ManIf a noisy neighbor is blasting music at all hours of the day and night, drowning out your phone conversations and interrupting your sleep, you can call the police. But what is a whale to do?Natural noise from waves, wind, rain and even earthquakes is common in oceans. Unfortunately, man-made noise from oil and gas drilling, sonar, and ships is also present.Low frequency noise has doubled off the California coast every decade since the nineteensixties. The main reasons are ships' propellers (螺旋桨). They not only generate continuous low frequency sound, some propellers cavitate(形成气穴), which means they create air bubbles that collapse, creating loud popping sounds.Whales use low frequency calls to communicate across thousands of miles of ocean. They are threatened by noise pollution because it can prevent them from contacting each other and from locating their foods. Endangered humpback and right whales, which use fibrous baleen to strain food from the water, are the most at risk.Scientists studying right whales off Canada's east coast have discovered that whales are sending louder calls through the water to make themselves heard. Because they invest more energy in making calls, they have less energy available for finding food and mating. Other scientists measuring whale calls against background noise pollution have discovered that right whales have lost about eighty percent of their normal communication area. This could seriously affect survival of this already threatened species.Scientists don't have badges and guns, but they are trying to correct the noise pollution problem. By tracking ships and marine mammals and understanding how noise travels, they are creating sound maps. They hope to get shipping lanes moved so that the noise pollution ships create will not overlap with areas most important to the whales.27．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Whales are in danger because of the noise.B．Noise pollution is affecting whales.C．Natural noise is good for whales.D．How to protect whales endangered.28．The following statements are true EXCEPT ________.A．You can call the police if you are disturbed by a noisy neighbor.B．Low frequency noise has doubled off the Canadian coast every decade since the 1960s.C．Noise pollution can prevent whales from contacting each other and from locating prey.D．Endangered humpback and right whales are the most at risk.29．We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.A．some areas important to whales are overlapped with the ship lanesB．scientists are creating the sound maps by tracking ships and marine mammalsC．if scientists have guns, they can correct the noise pollutionD．scientists have worked out a plan to protect the whales30．According to scientists，________.A．right whales off the Californian coast have been in danger because of the loss of the energyB．right whales cannot find food and mate for they lose a lot of living areaC．there are about 20% of the normal communication areas still available for the right whalesD．the right whales always invest most of their energy for making callsChildren are our future, and it’s up to us to arm them with the tools to succeed. Sadly, today’s children are being armed with more dangerous tools like weapons (武器), drugs and gangs. Once a relatively peaceful environment, many schoolyards of today are becoming unsafe for both students and teachers.Home schools are available to give you choices. Home schooling provides top-quality education, flexibility, and freedom to create your own schedule. At Heritage Home School we believe the choice should be yours.Thanks in part to modern technology, home schooling information is becoming readily available across our nation. A recent study by the ITBS (Iowa Tests of Basic Skills) and TAP (Tests of Achievement and Proficiency) shows us that students of home schools do particularly well when compared with the nationwide average. In every subject at every grade level, students of home schooling scored obviously higher than those in public and private schools.If you’re new to home schooling, you may be asking yourself, “Will home schools really work for my children?”Fact: A nationwide study using a random(任意)selection of 1,516 families found students of home schooling to be scoring, on average, at or above the 80th percentile in all areas on standardized achievement test.Note: The national average on standardized achievement tests is the 50th percentile.Collectively, the staff at Heritage Home School brings 65 years of experience in home schooling curriculum. We’ve placed students in the top 2 % of the nation in math and many aresuccessfully moving on to college.One study found that of the home schooled adults, 0% were unemployed, 0% were on welfare and 94% said home education prepared them to be independent persons.For more home schooling information, call us today toll free at (877) 532-7665.31．We can learn from the first paragraph that ________.A．many schools armed their students with weaponsB．violence and crime exist in many schoolyardsC．students use weapons to defend their schoolyardsD．weapons are more dangerous than drugs32．All of the following are true of home schools EXCEPT that ________.A．students are free to choose their coursesB．students do well in important national testsC．they help students find jobsD．they help students to be independent33．What is the purpose of the text?A．To give information about different schools.B．To compare home schools with other schools.C．To suggest a new method of school education.D．To persuade people to choose home schools.34．The advertisement is mainly aimed at ________.A．students B．parents C．teachers D．adultsHow are you and your family going to celebrate Earth Day?

Along the way, Tess's grandmother tells her the rules of the garden, "You must always take good care of our garden. Never throw rubbish around.

The story is beautifully told as a caring conversation between a child and her grandmother.Luz Sees the Light, by Claudia DavilaWhen Luz's community(社区) experiences a series of black-outs(停电), she quickly comes to understand the need to save energy and find other ways of doing things. With the help of her friends and neighbors, she creates a community garden and park that everyone can use.

A deep-seated preference for night life and subways, the thinking goes, has driven the revitalization of urban cores across the U.S. over the last decade-plus.But there’s mounting evidence that millennials’ love of cities was a passing fling(放纵). Millennials don’t love cities any more than previous generations.The latest argument comes from Dowell Myers, an urban planning professor at USC．As they age, says Myers, millennials’ presence in cities, will “be evaporating(蒸发) through our fingers, i f we don’t make some plans now.” That’s because millennials’ preference for cities will fade as they start families and become more established in their careers.It’s about more than aging, though. Demographer William Frey has been arguing for years that m illennials have become‘stuck’in cities by the 2008 downturn and the following slow recovery, with poor job prospects and declining wages making it harder for them to afford to buy homes in suburbia.Myers, too, says observers have confused young people’s p resence in cities with a preference for cities. Survey data shows that more millennials would like to be living in the suburbs than actually are. But the normal career and family cycles moving young people from cities into suburban houses have become, in M yers’ words, “a plugged up drain.”But unemployment has finally returned to healthy lows (though participation rates and wages are still largely stagnant), which Myers says should finally increase mobility for millennials.Other trends among millennials, supposedly matters of lifestyle preference, have already turned out to have been driven mostly by economics. What was once deemed their broad preference for public transit may have always been a now-reversing inability to afford cars. Even decades-long tren ds towards marrying later have been accentuated as today’ s young people struggle for financial stability.Investors are already taking the idea that millennials will return to old behavior patterns seriously, putting more money into auto manufacturers and developers. But urban lifestyles, up to and including trendy bars, aren’t just hip—they’re a part of what powers a city’s economic engines, bringing people together to explore new ideas, create companies, and build careers.From the 1960s to the 1990s, we saw that suburbanization(城市郊区化) also means an economic and social hollowing out for cities. Now that the economic shackles are coming offtoday’s young city residents, cities that want to stay vibrant(充满生机的) have to figure out how to convince them—and their growing families—to stick around.38．Why are Millennials about to leave city?A．It is too expensive for them to buy apartment in cities.B．They find it difficult for to seek a god job in cities.C．It is easier to get married moving to the suburban.D．They are more confident with their economic situation.39．What does the author mean quoting Myerˈs “a plugged up drain"(para 5)?A．Millennials are reluctant to leave attractive cities.B．Millennals are stopped from moving to the suburbs.C．Milennials are unwilling to be cut off from the suburban.D．Millennials are afraid of another economic decline.40．How does the author feel about the suburbanization?A．sign of stable finance.B．A growth of health issuesC．A conflict of new ideas.D．A loss of modem lifePlanet Earth would be a scary place for humans if dinosaurs still ruled the world.Though there are still some traces of life from the Jurassic Period, the Age of Dinosaurs more than 65 million years ago.This mass extinction is believed to be the result of an asteriod（小行星）hitting Earth. A new report by the journal Biological Reviews called " The Extinction of Dinosaurs” concludes that this impact was, indeed, the cause of the dinosaurs’____But the space blast(爆炸) wasn't the only reason these creatures aren't still around today.Dinosaurs need food to survive. Meat-eating monsters like the Tyrannosaurus Rex(霸王龙) were at the top of the food chain, and fed off plant eaters like the horned Triceratops (三角恐龙). These herbivores (食草动物) were decreasing in population after the asteroid hit Earth, which left the meat-eating species less food to survive on. “In any ecosystem where you remove links to key species, that community has problems," Richard Butler, one of the review's authors, told。

【梅州中学2013考前热身考试题】AIn the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year afterI started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to leave college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed Son No.3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how busy I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each term.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to give up, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it look s huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.26.When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be ______.A. a writerB. a teacherC. a judgeD. a doctor27.The author quit school in her second year of college because she______.A. wanted to study by herselfB. fell in love and got marriedC. suffered from a serious illnessD. decided to look after her grandma28.What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A. She was busy yet happy with her family life.B. She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C. She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.D. She was too confused to make a correct choice.29.What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Failure is the mother of success.B. Little by little, one goes far.C. Every coin has two sides.D. Well begun is half done.30.Which of the following can best describe the author ?A. Caring and determined.B. Honest and responsible.C. Ambitious and sensitive.D. Innocent andsingle-minded.【参考答案】26-30 CDABA阅读理解链接2（2012江苏卷）Franz Kafka wrote that "a book must be the ax (斧子) for the frozen sea inside us. " I once shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didn't seem to require any explanation.We’d just finished John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men. When we read the end together out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. "Are you crying?" one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. "I am,"I told her, "and the funny thing is I've read it many times. "But they understood. When George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it was always going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school, I've taught kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are parentsAlong with Of Mice and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The students didn't always read from the expected point of view. About The Red Pony, one student said, "it’s about being a man, it’s about manline ss. " I had never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeth's soliloquies (独白)read as raps (说唱) , but both made sense; the interpretations were playful, but serious. Once introduced to Steinbeck's writing, one boy went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and toldme repeatedly how amazing it was that "all these people hate each other, and they're all white. " His historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening. Year after year former students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year in college as a result of the classes.Year after year, however, we are increasing the number of practice tests. We are trying to teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch (碰撞) but for text complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich (充实) the minds of our students by testing them on texts that ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do no. amaze but confuse. We mav succeed in raising test scores, but we will fail to teach that reading can be transformative and that it belongs to them.66. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 probably mean that a book helps to_______A. realize our dreamsB. give support to our life 'C. smooth away difficultiesD. awake our emolions67. Why were the students able to understand the novel Of Mice and Men?A. Because they spent much time reading it.B. Because they had read the novel beforeC. Because they came from a public school. ,D.

Prejudice is a preconceived opinion that is not based on fac t or reason. Examples of prejudice in schools include believin g that some students are particular type of people simply bec ause of the way they dress or act, or believing that a certain g roup is good at sports simply because many peop1e in that gr oup are goad at sports. Another example is believing that a b oy is good at science because many boys are good at scienc e.I would like to cite more examples from the English literatur e. The best example of “prejudice” can be found in Jane Aust en’s novels. Her novels in the history of English literature are popularly known as "novels of manners".Thus you can clearly understand that where manners and social behavior are conc erned，"prejudice" is inevitable ! Austen' s famous novel Pride and Pr ejudice is the best example in this respect. When you read the novel, the very first line that would strike you is “it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”It is an example of 1 8th century English middle class prejudice that eventually look ed upon women just as an object that would serve as the basi c sign for a man to establish his manliness and his superior a nd well acquired financial status. This novel is chiefly about cl ass division，social norms and the consequent human behavior. The chara cters Elizabeth and Darcy，in their journey of 1ife through the course of the novel, highlig ht their personal prejudices towards one another that arise fro m their different social strata(阶层).Darcy，a rich man , at first ,fails to admire the beauty and intelligence of Elizabeth becaus e of her low social status:"she is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me;”and Elizabeth，proud of her "first impressions"，failed to understand the well natured man under the proud and unfriendly Darcy.1. What is "prejudice" defined in this passage?A. Prejudice is a reasonable idea that is based on one’s own experience.B. Prejudice is a preference for one group of people or things over another.C. Prejudice is a preconceived opinion before becoming awar e of fact or reason.D. Prejudice is an unreasonable dislike of a particular group of people or things.2. The underlined word "inevitable" in the second paragraph p robably_means_ .A. unavoidableB. reasonableC. unbelievableD. valuabl e3.From the novel Pride and Prejudice，we can’t learn that .A. where manners and social behavior are concerned "preju dice" is inevitableB. "prejudice" was defined and compared with“pride” in 18th centuryC. it's about class division，social norms and the consequent human behaviorD. personal prejudices towards one another arise from differ ent social strata【参考答案】1—3、CAB【由四川高考卷改编】The pound new Library of Birmingham（LoB）will be the most visible sign of the way the city is accepting th e digitalization（数字化）of everyday life.Set to open in 2013, the £188m LoB is already beginning to ta le shape next to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, with whic h it will share some equipment.As digital media（媒介）is important to its idea. the project is already providing chance s for some of the many small new local companies working at the new technologies.Brian Gambles, the LoB project director, says it is about givin g people the right tools for learning,“The aim is to mix the phy sical with the digital.

高一英语百日训练之 阅读理解(9)含答案详解
高一英语百日训练之阅读理解（9）含答案详解【题文】If you ever have the desire to break out into song—in the shower，in the car，maybe at your neighbor's karaoke night—you should embrace it whole—heartedly. This ancient art not only makes you feel good，it can also improve your well-being，reduce your feelings of pain，and even extend your life.Using your voice to sing，rather than simply carryout a conversation，offers unique benefits because singing affects our bodies. Also，studies link singing with a lower heart rate，decreased blood pressure and reduced stress according to Patricia Preston-Roberts，a music therapist（治疗专家）. （1）Singing，particularly in a group，seems to benefit the elderly particulartly well. As part of a three一year study examining how singing affects the health of those fifty-five and older，a Senior Singers Chorus was formed by the Levine School of Music in Washington.D.C. The seniors involved in the chorus，as well as seniors in two separate arts groups about writing and painting，showed significant health improvements compared to those in the control groups（对照组）. Obviously，the arts groups reported thirty fewer doctors' visit，fewer eyesight problems，less depression，and less need for medication. （2）Even lead researcher Dr.Gene D.Coben，director of the Center on Aging at George Washington University，was surprised at how big an effect the seniors' arts participation had on their health. Coben said，“The average age of all the subjects was eighty. This is higher than life expectancy. So，if an effect were to be achieved，one would ordinarily expect to see less decline（下降）compared to the control group. The fact that there was so much improvement in many areas was the surprising factor.”（3）The seniors also noticed health improvements and they reported feeling better both in daily life and while singing.The part of the brain that works with spech is diferent from the part that processes music.“People seem to enjoy doing something jointly with other people. There are a lot of facts that being socially involved is good for people with dementia （老年痴呆）.” Ballard said.The arts are showing up as a treatment tool in hospitals across the country. （4）If you are thinking of volunteering，singing at a hospital may be a good choice—not only for the patients，but also for yourself.28. Why was Coben surprised at the results of the study？A. The study was not expensive as expected.B. Arts acted as a treatment tool in hospitals.C. People's health in the arts group improved greatly.D. The seniors themselves noticed health improvements29. What is the author's attitude towards arts？A. Doubtful.B. Positive.C. Negative.D. Worried.30. Where should the following sentence be put？“She uses song to help patients who suffer from a variety of problems.”A. （1）B. （2）C. （3）D. （4）31. What would be the best title for the passage？A. How to Avoid Getting Dementia.B. How Seniors Live a Healthy Life.C. How to Keep Our Brains Healthy.D. How Singing Improves Your Health.【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. D【解析】本文是一篇议论文。

2019年高考英语阅读理解一轮练（9）李仕才ALife can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks(挫折) and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and what we’re seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的)suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it’s easier to just give up. But we’re never meant to let go of part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us — the real us. It’s the part that believes in the life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little ＂dead＂ inside because you’re dropping ＂you＂.So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck，how do we break these patterns?Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today’s challenges.While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind — or the minds of those close to us — usually says we can’t. That isn’t a reason to stop, it’s just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It’s all about starting sim ple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release from the jail of your mind and you’ll be on your way.1. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ________.A. slow down and live a simple lifeB. be careful when we choose to changeC. stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD. be content with what we already have2.

The only 1 I got familiar with university was listening to my children talk about their class and all the interesting things they were 2 . University was just a life-long 3 of mine. I just turned sixty-four years old in September. I still thought about that old dream 4 one day when there was an Advanced-Age programme at the local university, I decided to 5 .The day finally arrived—my first day of school. As I 6 there, my mind was filled with negative thoughts, “What am I doing? I’m not smart enough to go to university. The 7 will laugh when they see me in class. I probably won’t live long enough to get a 8 . Maybe I should just turn the car around and go home. ”Then, suddenly, I saw it!A large billboard on the side of the road with a picture of Kermit the Frog.I 9 a little a nd read the words next to his picture. “Live your dreams. ” Was Kermit speaking to me? I didn’t turn the car around.I drove a little further on up the highway and there was another 10 . This one had a picture of Albert Einstein with his tongue 11 out. A line read, “As a student, he was no Einstein.” Andthere was a word in red, “Confidence”. A new attitude was 12 inside me.I was now 13 the gate of the university and there stood still another billboard. This one showed a photograph of a proud 14 in a cap and gown. Under the picture was her 15 , Nola Otis, aged 95. Oldest University Graduate. Below it was the words, “Live Life”.

The two females and two children were already 3 by the security guard over there.Lima had two girls himself, similar in age to the two girls there, so it 4 him a little bit. Lima checked the 5 for the items they had paid for. There was nothing else like health and beauty items on it. The items were all 6 —things bought just to stuff themselves. Then he asked an employee where the other items were that they had 7 to take and was informed they were put back on the shelves.Obviously, this family was in real need. While Lima firmly 8 following the law, he decided to cut them a break and not to 9 them.The two-females, consequently, were very grateful but kind of 10 because generally, in that same situation there would probably be a different outcome and they’d be 11 .Lima took things a step further in an effort to aid the family.

The development of processed foods(加工食品) has made food easier to get and prepare. 4 every coin has two sides.

2023届高考英语阅读理解专练(9)日常生活类
（9）日常生活类一、Many African people have always dreamed that one day the capitals of all African countries will be linked by high-speed railway lines. Now they have one step closer to realizing that dream.On October 10, 2016, Africa's first modern electrified railway, the Ethiopia-Djibouti railway, became fully operational. This railway, built by Chinese companies, is the first railway built using a complete set of Chinese standards outside China.But it has not been easy for Chinese companies to win Ethiopian support for the project. The Ethiopian government once considered Western standards the best ones. But thanks to China's outstanding performance in building and managing railways, Chinese firms ended up getting the project.“After rounds of talks, the Ethiopian government came to realize that Chinese standards are not inferior(次于) to western ones, and more importantly, they best suit the country,” Meng Fengchao, board chairman of China Rail way Construction Corp, told Xinhua.This is just another of China's recent achievements in railway building China has the world's longest railway and they make up a huge 60 percent of the world's total. Besides length, China also does well in speed. China is the only country with trains running at 350 km per hour on lines such as Beijing-Tianjin and Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railways.Thanks to these achievements, it's easy to forget that China wasn't an early starterin the high-speed rail network game. Japan started 50 years ago, while Germany began 20 years ago. China only launched its high-speed railway 14 years ago.How has China's high-speed railway been able to develop so quickly? The driving force behind the fast development has been the country's great need for transportation. “The high-speed railway not only covers the distance, but also connects people, information and goods, greatly boosting the regional economy, people's lives and tourism, " Huang Xin, an official from China Railway Corporation, told China Daily. The high-speed railway has become the transportation of choice for many Chinese people. According to China Railway Corp, about 4,200 bullet trains run in China each day, meaning that more than 4.5 million passengers can travel.This is only the beginning of China's high -speed railway development. TheNational Development and Reform Commission said that China plans to have 38,000 km of high-speed railways by 2025.1.What can be learned about the Ethiopia-Djibouti railway?A. It was still under construction.B. It links capitals of several countries.C. It was the first electrified railway in Africa.D. It was a combination of Chinese and West standards.2.What is China's recent achievement in railway building?A. China helps many other countries build railway.B. Chinese standards suit most of the countries in the world.C. China excels at both the length of railway and speed of trains.D. China is one of the countries whose trains can run at 350km/h.3.Which statement is true according to the passage?A. China was the pioneer of building high-speed rail networks.B. China spent 14 years building a longest railway in the world.C. China's railway accounts for less than 60% of the world's total.D. China's great need for transportation has driven railway development.4.Which could be the best title for the text?A. China's Railways Go to the World.B. The Corporation between China and Africa.C. The Railway Development in Africa.D. The History of High-speed Railway in the world.二、Despite mental health being everywhere and its cost on overall well-being and social development, we have been guilty of dragging our feet, both in the sense of acknowledging the causes and facing the consequences of mental health problems, as well as a societal commitment to addressing them. For instance, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that worldwide governments spend less than 2% of their total health budget on mental health.But there is hope that the tide may be turning in how we deal with mental health. And that hope resides in Generation Z (born during the mid-to-late 1990s and early 2010s). Generation Z have a different way of approaching well-being and mental health than other previous generations.Unlike the previous generations, Generation Z are more confident and willing to acknowledge and activate the connection between well-being and mental health. Seeing mental health issues as a natural part of life, something to be faced head-on, like a physical illness, and in the face of them, balance is more likely to be restored: a fruitful solution that results from open and frank discussions with family and friends, sharing or accessing advice on social media. They are also more likely to be health-aware, engage in health-promoting activities and adopt a healthy lifestyle. And while Generation Z are also active healthy eaters, they seek solutions to the environmental impact of food production and more information on how food choice is linked to mental health.On the work front, they are not shy to press employers for workloads and work-life balance that reduces stress, or to take mental health days to nurture(培养) well-being and prevent the oncoming of more serious mental health problems. Perhaps, because youths suffer disproportionately from mental health issues, they are more likely to be open and talk about them, as well as to seek help.Historically, the private and public discussions around mental health have been limited, while Generation Z are more active in strengthening, protecting and restoring it. And this shift in the approach indicates well for how society faces mental health issues in the future, especially as Generation Z gain positions of economic and political power.5.What can we learn about mental health problems from paragraph 1?A. They need more attention and investment.B. They are acknowledged and easy to address.C.They have become the top concerns for WHO.D. They have little to do with social development.6.What is the attitude of Generation Z towards mental health problems?A.Curious.B.Positive.C. Tolerant.D. Casual.7.What do Generation Z tend to do in their work to keep mentally healthy?A. Handle workloads alone.B. Let life make way for work.C.Reject stressful work arrangements.D. Argue with their employers for higher wages.8.What is the best title for the text?A. Solving Generation Z's Mental ProblemsB. Changing Our Approach to Mental HealthC. Health Budget—the Key to Mental HealthD. Mental Health—the First Killer of Mankind三、From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family's time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell's laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, "was intended to be a nostalgic(怀旧的) account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introdụcing my family."Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family's five-year stay in Corfu. He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book—curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, love struck sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie and his ever-calm, loving mother.Durrell's attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you'll be laughing as Larry's clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil—yellow cottage, the next you'll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: "Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained."My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry. As a real delight to read, it's the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life.9.Which word best describes Durrell's life in Corfu?A. Risky.B.Busy.C. Tough.D. Diverse.10.What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2?A. I introduced my family by mistake.B. I shouldn't have introduced my family.C. I couldn't help introducing my family.D.I gave wrong information about my family.11.What are paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about?A. The book's writing feature.B. Durrell's rich imagination.C. Some interesting plots of the book.D. Some vivid descriptions of the island.12.What is the purpose of this text?A. To share an experience.B. To recommend a book.C. To introduce a writing style.D. To describe an unusual place.四、On a hot summer afternoon along the Mandavi River, Shweta Hule wraps her sari around her ankles and bends to pick wild "weeds" from the river and drop them into a bowl. The plants will be made into fritters(炸果饼), to be served at the little restaurant attached to the B&B Hule manages in the Indian coastal town of Vengurla.Wild edible(可食用的) plants are common in kitchens here. Hule's weed is juicy, which is found in mangrove forests. Harvesting some of the plant is helping conserve the mangroves, a globally endangered ecosystem of salt-tolerant trees that stop coastal erosion(侵蚀) and absorb storm damage.Hule is head of Swamini, a self-help group set up by nine women from a fishing community in Vengurla who started Mandavi Eco Tourism in 2017. Vengurla is known for its beautiful beaches and seafood, but the climate crisis has made fishing for a living unsustainable, so people are trying to find other sources of income. They came up with the idea of running mangrove safaris(观光游) for tourists in Vengurla's Mandavi River.The safaris offer visitors a unique hour-long tour of the mangroves. Food has also become a key attraction: local spicy coconut curries, with homegrown or wild vegetables. Tourists are encouraged to go crabbing, and their catch is cooked and served.Hule only discovered recently that the weed was edible when she met tourists from another coastal city. She researched these leaves and learned that the salty plant is rich in vitamins. She made her own version of the fritters, with chickpea flour, andpresented it at the wild vegetable festival. "It was an instant hit. This boosted the confidence to include these fritters in our restaurant menu," says Hule.Swamini's lodging house also serves vegetarian meals and plates of fish and crab sourced from the river. "The satisfaction after the visitors enjoy our meal is the real currency. We had guests from London who were so happy with our food that they took down the recipe. Such people help our business grow. What more can we want?" says Hule.13.Which of the following can best describe the example of Shweta Hule?A. Do as the Romans do.B. Strike while the iron is hot.C. Kill two birds with one stone.D.

"Obviously all the people from the Galapagos felt it was a shame because it's something we're familiar with since childhood, and to know that it has changed was a bit of a shock,"Washington Tapia said, "However, from a scientific point of view, it's part of the natural process.It normally happens on our planet."Darwin's Arch, which is made of natural stone, at one point would have been partof the island. Named after famed naturalist Charles Darwin, it is not accessible by land. But the area around the islands is a popular diving spot, particularly to observe sharks and other sea species."Unfortunately today, our guests of the Galapagos Aggressor III experienced a oncein a lifetime event," the travel company Agressor Adventures posted on Facebook. The group added, "This morning at 11:20 am local time, the world-famous Darwin's Arch collapsed in front of their eyes. There are now only two pillars(柱子) remaining. Some in the dive & travel industry are already referring to this now as 'The Pillars of Evolution(进化)'."The post received nearly 200 comments including one person who wrote, "What a shame! Geologic(地质的) time is so much different from human time that we forget that it's always going on. That's why I like to spend a lot of time among the arches in Southern Utah. You never know when it could be the last time before geology does its work."The Galapagos Islands are a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has been called a "ilving museum and showcase of evolution". The islands are situated about 621 miles from the coast of Ecuador. They are home to many interesting animals including giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and many types of finches.17.What does Tapia think of the collapse of Darwin's Arch?A.

But it's not clear that these benefits come specifically from vitamin C. The Age-Related Eye Disease Study found that a daily supplementcontaining 500 mg of vitamin C can help slow the progress of macular degeneration, an age-related eye disease that causes vision loss. But we don't know what benefits, if any, are provided by vitamin C in particular.Many people take vitamin C supplements in unnecessarily high doses to prevent or treat various conditions for which its effectiveness is unproved. The vitamin C supplements have variously been said for staving off sunburn and improving the appearance of wrinkles. None of these benefits have been confirmed in scientific studies.Perhaps the best-known and most widely promoted use of high-dose(高剂量)vitamin C is to prevent or treat the common cold. Most of the evidence shows that high-dose vitamin C will, at most, shorten a cold by one day. In ordinary circumstances, vitamin C has no preventive value, although a few studies have reported a 50% reduced risk of developing colds among people taking vitamin C in extreme circumstances-for example, skiers, marathon runners, and soldiers working in extreme conditions.The recommended vitamin C dosage per day for healthy women is 75 mg per day. For adults, the highest safe daily intake is likely to be 2, 000 mg per day. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so any amount more than you need will not be stored in the body. It's safe in almost any amount from foods, and supplements in recommended amounts are also regarded as safe for most people. In some people, high doses-more than, say,2,000 or 3,000 mg per day-can cause a variety of symptoms. People with kidney conditions should take no more than 1,000 mg a day.21.What can we learn about vitamin C in the first paragraph?A. It can be of better effect in higher doses.B. It can be a cure for age-related eye disease.C. It can help slow the progress of some illness.D. It can reduce the risks of the mouth cancer.22.What function does vitamin C have in treating the common cold?A. It can help people save plenty of money.B. It can stop soldiers from catching a cold.C. It may reduce a cold by one day at most.D. It may prevent the common cold efficiently.23.How much Vitamin C are healthy women advised to take per day?A.75 mg.B. 500 mg.C. 2,000 mg.D. 3,000 mg.24.Where is this text probably taken from?A. An exam paper.B. A travel journal.C. An art guidebook.D. A science magazine.七、From writing Shakespeare-style poetry to making music, ChatGPT has amazed the world since its launch in late 2022 by the US-based company OpenAI. It even passed several law exams in four courses at the University of Minnesota, US, according to CNN.The AI program can answer questions on a whole host of topics and write essays, stories and any other written texts you can think of. It does this by drawing on information collected from a large corpus (语料库) of text data.What makes ChatGPT so impressive? As Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI said in an interview with Forbes, “it's not actually fundamentally new technology that made this (ChatGPT) have a moment.”According to MIT Technology Review, ChatGPT is based on GPT-3, a large language model. Because texts are more complicated than the meaning of every word combined, language models require a type of neural network(神经网络) that can make sense of texts.One breakthrough behind today's model is a network called Transformer, which was invented by Google researchers in 2017. The neural network can infer word meanings by tracking where the word appears in a sentence. Transformer can therefore capture the meaning of texts more accurately.The GPT models built by OpenAI combined Transformer with unsupervised (无人指导的) learning, meaning that the models can learn by themselves without being told what to look at. ChatGPT can now generate human-like responses instantly due to the large scale of texts it learned from.“One of the biggest problems with ChatGPT i s that it comes back, very confidently, with falsities,” Michael Wooldridge at the Alan Turing Institute in London, UK, told The Guardian. This means that ChatGPT doesn't know the truth about the world—it learns information from various resources but it cannot decide what is true or false.Some argue that ChatGPT will be used to generate fake news, spread falsities, or be used for ill purposes. As for education, many US schools recently banned studentsfrom using ChatGPT on school networks because students began to use it as a shortcut for essays.25.How does ChatGPT work?A. By making complicated texts simpler.B. By gathering a wide variety of information.C. By passing several law exams in four courses.D. By employing its large collection of information.26.What makes ChatGPT so amazing?A. A completely new technology.B. The ability to track the location of a word.C. The combination of a network and self-learning.D. Better understanding of the meaning of every word.27.What does the underlined word “falsities” mean in the last but one paragraph?A. False information.B. Something new.C. Various resources.D. Timely responses.28.Why is ChatGPT forbidden in many us schools?A. Because a ban on it has recently been passed.B. Because it provides fake news that will mislead students.C. Because students use it for the purpose of improving their essays.D. Because with it, students finish their assignments without thinking.八、My parents had been married less than two years when my dad was diagnosed with ALS. Making a decision regarding whether or not to start a family was difficult at the time, but due to their faith and positive outlook, they chose to do so. Had they not shared the same optimism, my older brother John would not be here, and I would not be writing this today. To say that I am thankful for their decision is an understatement. My dad has had a long battle with ALS and is still fighting after 26 years.As a child, my parents did everything in their power to keep things as normal as possible for my brother and me. Unfortunately, I have very few memories of my dad when he was still able to walk because of how young I was when he lost that ability. However, I can confidently say that as a girl, my childhood felt completely normal. Our friends came over a lot. John and I were very involved in sports, and my parents were at every game.ALS isn't just a deadly disease—it is incurable. Most patients do not live even close to 26 years like my father has been able to. ALS is also a lonely disease, for both the patients and caregivers, as they go through hardships those around them will rarely understand. My mom is his primary caregiver, and my brother and I help out as much as we can. She is a remarkable mother and wife, the backbone of our family, and none of us would be here without her.Dad is the strongest person I know. He has overcome his physical limitations due to how strong he is mentally. Every day is a battle, and every day he fights hard. He truly believes every day is a gift. Some days are worse than others, but he would rarely let you know. It takes a certain kind of faith, will, ambition, and strength to handle such a desperate diagnosis, and he has never faltered(退缩).29.How does the author feel about her parents' choice of starting a family?A. Grateful.B. Indifferent.C.Angry.D. Regretful.30.What does the author intend to stress about her parents in Paragraph 2?A. Their optimistic attitude.B.Their family values.C. Their love for children.D.Their difficult situations.31.Which of the following words can best describe the author's mom?A. Determined and caring.B. Humorous and knowledgeable.C. Talented and demanding.D. Generous and strict.32.What can be concluded from the family's story?A. Hardships and difficulties are unavoidable in life.B. One has to learn to shoulder responsibility courageously.C. The presence of parents is important to children's development.D. Inner strength and family support can help overcome physical limitations答案以及解析一、1.答案：C解析：细节理解题。

高一英语下学期阅读理解(9篇)(上半学期)三)
高一英语下学期阅读理解（9篇）（上半学期）（三）一Dear Carol,I wear braces (牙箍) and I know I look just terrible in them. Is there anything I can do to improve my appearance until they come off?Connie N. Philadelphia, PADear Connie,Start by thinking about how good you are going to look when your braces come off. If you are negative about your appearance, people will pick that up right away about you. In the meantime there are several things that you can do to lift your spirits:Change your hairstyle. Be sure to get a good cut so that the shape of your hair will be flattering to your face and also good for your type of hair (fine, thick, straight, curly, etc.) Choose a hairstyle that draws attention away from your face. Hair pulled back into a pony-tail or into a ball on top or slightly off-center can be attractive and practical for this purpose.Keep skin clean. If you choose to wear makeup(化妆品), it should look natural. Blusher(腮红) and lip gloss(润唇膏) in light tones of peach or pink are best.Be well-groomed(打扮). Neatness really counts. People see a total look about you before they ever become aware of your braces. And first impressions are lasting ones!1. Why did Connie write to Carol?A. Because she really cared about her clothes.B. Because she cared much about her appearance.C. Because her teeth were not good.D. Because she didn‟t know how to make up.2. Carol‟s idea about one‟s a ppearance is that ______.A. change your hairstyle and you will look beautifulB. keep your skin clean and you will look goodC. neatness really countsD. if you yourself don‟t think you look smart, neither will people3. Carol tries to let Connie know that _______.A. the deepest impressions one leaves on others is the first onesB. spirits are important when we talk about one‟s appearanceC. there are some practical ways to draw people‟s attention away from where you don‟t feel goodD. all of the above4. The underlined word “count” means “______” in the last paragraph.A. say numbers in orderB. be of importanceC. not includeD. be accepted二It is reported that conservation(环保) groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves. Some groups believe wolves should be killed. Other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness(荒野).For Killing WolvesIn Alaska, the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago, because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport. However, laws were passed to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur. So the wolf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food. Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changesin the wilderness plant life. When the deer can‟t find enough food, they die.If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer, their prey(猎物)will disappear some day. And the wolves will, too. So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology(生态).If we killed more wolves, we would save them and their prey from dying out. We‟d also save some farm animals.In another northern state, wolves attack cows and chickens for food. Farmers want the government to send biologists to study the problem. They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population.Against Killing WolvesIf you had lived long ago, you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous wolf. According to most stories, hungry wolves often kill people for food. Even today, the stories of the “big bad wo l f'” will not disappear.But the fact is wolves are afraid of people, and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell. When wolves eat other animals, they usually kill the very young, or the sick and injured. The strongest survive. No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had lived. And that has always been a law of nature.Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves, we say it is nonsense! Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance. The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life.The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people. Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs, the wolves can‟t always find enough food. So they travel to the nearest source, which is often a farm. Then there is danger. The “big bad wolf” has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next.1. According to the passage, some people in North America favor killing wolves for all the following reasons EXCET that .A. there are too many wolvesB. they kill large numbers deerC. they attack cows and chickens for foodD. they destroy the wilderness plant life2. Some people are against killing wolves because .A. wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wildnessB. there is too small a wolf population in the wildernessC. there are too many deer in the wildernessD. wolves are afraid of people and never attack people3. According to those against killing wolves, when wolves eat other animals, .A. they never eat strong and healthy onesB. they always go against the law of natureC. they might help this kind of animals survive in natureD. they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness4. The last sentence" And everyone knows what happens next" implies that in such cases .A. farm animals will be in danger and have to be moved awayB. wolves will kill people and people will in turn kill themC. wolves will find enough food sources on farmsD. people will leave the areas where wolves can live三What to do next?It was a momentous question. I had gone out into the world to shift for myself. I had gaineda livelihood in various vocations, but no one was dazzled with my successes. I had once been a grocery clerk for one day, but had consumed so much sugar that I was fired. I had studies an entire week, and then given it up because it was tiresome. I had been a bookseller‟s check for a while, but the customers bothered me so much that I could not read with any comfort. I had been a private secretary, a silver miner and a silver mill operator, and amounted to less than nothing in each, and now ---What to do next?I have in to Higbie and tried mining once more. We climbed far up on the mountainside and went to work. Higbie descended into the shaft and worked with his pick till he had loosened up some rock and dirt, and then I went down with a shovel to throw it out. I made the toss, and landed the mess must on the edge of the shaft. It all came back on my head and down the back of my neck. I never said a word, but climbed out and walked home.I sat down in the cabin, and gave myself up to misery. In the past, I had amused myself with writing letters to the chief paper of the Territory, the Virginia Daily Territorial Enterprise, an d had always been surprised when they appeared in print. I had found a letter in the mail box as I came home from the hillside, and opened it. Eureka! It was an offer to me of twenty-five dollars a week to come up to Virginia and be city editor of the Enterprise. Twenty-five dollars a week was a fortune.I went up to Virginia and entered upon my new vocation. I asked the chief editor, Mr. Goodman, for some instructions, and he told me to go all over town and ask all sorts of people all sorts of questions, make notes of the information gained, and write them out for publication. It was the whole thing in a nutshell.I can never forget my first day‟s experience as a reporter. I wandered about town questioning everybody, boring everybody, and finding out that nobody knew anything. At the end of five hours, my notebook was still bare. I spoke to Mr. Goodman. He said, …Dan used to write good stories about the hay wagons when there was no news. Are there no hay wagons around? If there are, you might speak of the renewed activity in the hay business. It isn‟t sensational or exciting, but it fills up the newspaper and looks businesslike.‟I went out into the city again and found one wretched old hay truck dragging in from the country. Next I discovered a wagon train from the East and found that it had lately come through the hostile Indian country. The group was in rather rough shape.My two columns were filled. When I read them over in the morning, I felt that I had found my legitimate occupation at last. News was what a paper needed, and I felt that I had the ability to furnish it. Mr. Goodman said that I was a good a reporter as Dan. I desired no higher commendation.1. What d oes the author mean when he says, …I had gone out into the world to shift for myself‟?A. He wanted to travel to many places.B. He wanted to do things by himself.C. He liked moving things.D. He wanted to be successful.2. Why do you think the author gives himself to misery?A. He was fired from his job as a miner.B. He cannot find a job.C. He cannot find work that he enjoys doing.D. He does not like living in a cabin.3. Why does Mr. Goodman suggest writing about hay wagons?A. Because it will take up space in the newspaper.B. Because hay wagons are interesting.C. Because it is important business news.D. Because people need hay.4. What is the meaning of the underlined word …legitimate‟ in the passage?A. legalB. friendlyC. acceptableD. amusing四Vincent Van Gogh is probably the world‟s most famous painter. Many people wonder if he deserves such a reputation. Certainly, he was not a success in his lifetime. Although he produced more than 800 paintings, he sold only one, for about only US $80. No gallery showed his work during his life. Few people may have even heard of him. Hi s fame developed slowly after his death in 1890, but it has never stopped growing. One hundred years later, in 1990, a Japanese businessman paid US $82 million for one of his works --- a world record.He was born in the Netherlands in 1853. As a young man, he tried many different jobs. He worked in an art dealer‟s company, but he must have disliked it, because he left. He went to England and became a language teacher. Then, looking for a deeper purpo se in life, he worked as a missionary among the poor in Belgium, but he quarreled with his superiors and abandoned that career as well. Finally, he decided to become a painter.For the rest of his life, he depended on the financia l support of his brother Theo, the only person who believed in his ability. For ten years, from 1880 to 1890, Van Gogh produced his best paintings, until, sadly, he took his own life.It would be easy to say that he was mad. He had difficulty getting along with people, often arguing with them. After one quarrel, in late 1888, he was so upset that he cut off part of his own ear and gave it to a young girl. Later, from 1889 to 1890, he spent a year in a mental hospital. Yet, for most of his life, he was completely sane (精神正常的). We know this because he wrote hundreds of letters to Theo expressing his ideas and his work, and these letters show the clarity of his thinking.Does he deserve the fame he now possesses? Certainly. I admire his work tremendously. His paintings are realistic, not abstract. At the same time, they are not like photographs. The bright colors and thick strokes of his paintings make the strong feelings inside him visible. Even when his subjects are flowers, trees or the sky, his paintings are full of powerful, honest emotions, emotions which finally killed him.1. The writer suggests that V an Gogh‟s reputation ______ .A. was high soon after he diedB. grew steadily after his deathC. quickly developed through EuropeD. stopped growing until the 1980s2. Paragraph 3 implies that in 1890 many people _____ .A.did not agree with Theo‟s view about his brotherB. thought Van Gogh had already produced his best paintingsC. thought Van Gogh had great ability as a painterD. were sad when Van Gogh died suddenly3. The writer says that Van Gogh was sane for most of his life. We know this from ____ .A. his letters to his brotherB. a Japanese businessmanC. his religious employersD. his father五Alvin E. Roth, who graduated from Columbia Engineering in 1971 and is currently Professor of Economics and Business Administration at Harvard, was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize in Economics for his pioneering work in the practical design of market institutions. He shares the award with Lloyd S. Shapley, professor at UCLA, who also used game theory to better understand different matching methods.The Royal Swedish Academy, which announced the winners this morning, awarded the two researchers the prize for “an outstanding example of economic engineering,” and while they worked independently of one another, the “combination of Shapley‟s basic theory and Roth‟s empirical investigations, experiments, and practical design has generated a flourishing field of rese arch and improved the performance of many markets.” They will share the $1.2 million prize.“We are absolutely thrilled,” said Dean and Professor of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR). “Columbia Engineering now has two graduates who h ave won the Nobel Prize in Economics, Robert C. Merton in 1997 and Alvin E. Roth in 2012, both from programs now housed in the IEOR Department! This is another highly visible confirmation of the great strengths at our school—superb students and professors.”Roth and his colleagues demonstrated that stability is the key to understanding the success of particular market institutions. Roth began studying the labor market for American doctors in the early 1980s, and was asked to direct its redesign in 1995. The Roth-Peranson (1999) algorithm is now used to organize a number of medical and health care markets. Roth‟s research has led to the redesign of such complex systems as assigning students to public schools in large urban cities and the matching of kidney and other human organs to patients in need of a transplant.After receiving his B.S. from the Engineering School in 1971, Roth moved to California to complete his master‟s and doctorate at Stanford University, both in operations research, in 1973 and 1974, respectively. He began his academic career as a professor after graduation and joined Harvard in 1998 and now is also a visiting professor of Economics at Stanford where he will join the faculty full-time in 2013. Roth has received numerous professional honors and awards in recognition of his research.Last week, Robert J. Lefkowitz, another Columbia alumnus who graduated in 1962 from the College and in 1966 from the Columbia‟s College of Physicians and Surgeons, was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. To date, 82 Columbians—including alumni, faculty, adjunct faculty, researchers, and administrators—have won a Nobel Prize at some point in their careers.1 Which one of the following choices shares the most similar meaning with the underlined word “empirical” in Para. 2?A. theoreticalB. logicalC. practicalD. cooperative2. Roth‟s research may NOT applicable to which of the following occupations?A. TeachersB. LawyersC. NursesD. Surgeons3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Roth will earn $0.6 million prize from Sweden.B. Roth joined Harvard upon graduating from Stanford with his doctor degree.C. Roth is leaving Harvard for Stanford next year.D. Roth is the second Nobel Prize winner of Columbia Engineering.六Who decides how English is spoken around the world? Do teachers in the colleges and schools? What about those who write dictionaries or books? Do they decide what is good and what is bad English? Or do governments decide when a language will change? Probably you have thought about this question once or twice before. The answer is that none of these people decide how English will be spoken. Believe it or not, many of the biggest changes in how English is spoken have come from common people in the streets. And one of the most important places where English has changed is on the playground! These playground can be any place where youngpeople meet, such as a sports field or a beach. For example, black kids invented many new words in American English as they played basketball or music. Often words used by black kids in the big cities become popular with other kids many years later. Another popular sport, baseball, has also given many words and expressions to American English. On the beaches of southern California, teenagers invented words to describe how they felt when they surfed. These words found their way into the high schools and then to other places. Similar changes in English happened among young people in Ireland and Australia. Children from one group would find ways to play with children of another group more easily. Often they made new words just to develop an identity different from their parents.1. Who decides how English is spoken?A. GovernmentsB. TeachersC. Ordinary peopleD. Black kids2. According to the passage many English words come from ______.A. everyday lifeB. textbooksC. dictionariesD. baseballs3. Why do these kids invent new words?A. Because they want to make up a dictionary.B. Because they try to beat their teachers.C. Because they are asked to do so.D. Because they want to feel different from their parents七When you buy a T-shirt, or a fur coat in a store, it often carries a label(标签) telling who made it or from what store it was bought. Indeed, some labels show the dress is famous and it is very expensive, so buyers secretly wish they might be carried for ever. On the other hand, buyers who deal with the cheapest products(产品) would be pleased to do away with labels entirely. However, there is another label more important than the one showing from which store the dress was bought. When a person buys a fur coat, or a jacket, from a store, a label telling what the product is made of should be carried to it.This label is required by law. Besides telling what the product on show is made of, the label should be in clear English and be where one can find it easily. The information on the label must be the truth.The reason for this label is that most buyers today aren‟t expert enough to know exactly what kind of fur or material they are buying. The buyer must believe in the store that sells the products or in what the labels say.1. The law requires that furs carry a _______.A. clean labelB. clear labelC. white labelD. secret label2. This article mainly refers to _______.A. making furs and clothesB. protecting buyers with lawC. keeping the buyer informedD. businessmen and sellers3. In the article, the author says a little about _______.A. black — market fursB. managers‟ officeC. chemical laboratoriesD. clothing stores八OUR PROMISEMaking your stay a complete success is our goal.

As the first African American to play in the Major League in modern times, many believe he changed the country forever.Robinson was born in 1919. He lived in a time when rules controlled what African Americans could do. He was a top athlete, playing football, basketball and baseball. But playing for a major League team was off limits to Robinson because of his race.Branch Rickey, president and manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, signed (和……签约) Robinson in 1947. He believed that Robinson not only had the skills, but the courage to face the challenge of becoming modern baseball‟s first black player.It wasn‟t easy. Robinson sometimes faced boos (嘘声) from fans. But he became a star, anyway. In 1962, he became the first African-American player chosen to enter the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 2005, he was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal, the highest award Congress can give to an American.By breaking baseball‟s color barrier (肤色障碍), Robinson opened the door for many to follow his footsteps, not only in baseball, but in other areas of life as well. After he stopped playing the game, Robinson worked as a manager for a coffee company. He wrote a newspaper column (专栏).He also started a bank.1.

最新高考英语阅读理解精英训练极品题（9）及答案阅读理解-------CThe television news feature about Ben Heckmann, an eighth grader from Farmington, Minn, was breathless in its praise. “At 14, he has accomplished something many adults can’t achieve,” the reporter said, “Ben is a twice-published author.” But Ben’s two “Velvet Black” books, describing a fictional rock band, were not picked from a pile of manuscripts（手稿）by an eagle eyed publisher. They were self-published, at the cost of $400 by Ben’s parents.Over the past five years, print-on-demand technology and a growing number of self publishing companies whose books can be sold online have inspired writers of all ages to avoid the traditional gatekeeping system for determining who could call himself a “published author.”The mothers and fathers who foot the bill say they are simply trying to encourage their children, in the same way that other parents buy equipment for a promising baseball player. But others see self-publishing as a lost opportunity to teach children about hardship and perseverance. Mr. Robbins, a critic, thinks it is wonderful to start writing at a young age, but worries self-publishing sends the wrong message. “There are no prodigies(神童) in literature,” he said. “Literature requires experience, in a way that mathema tics and music do not.” Alan Rinzler, a publishing industry veteran, suggested parents hire a professional editor like him to work with their child to tear a manuscript apart and help make a better. Ben’s father, Ken, said Ben’s ambitions “weren’t to knock Harry Potter off the list,” but “to get that good feeling inside that you’ve done something.”Ajla Dizdarevic, 12, who has self-published two books of poetry, has been on television and in local newspapers. “Being a published author,” she said, “was alway s a dream of mine.” Her new dream: three books by age 15.36. Which of the following is true of Ben?A. He has achieved something unusual for his age.B. His self-published books were well received.C. His manuscripts were favored by the publisher.D. He was thought little of by the public media.【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。
唐山晋州市2022高考英语阅读理解(含语法填空)练习(9)及答案
社会生活类---【阅读理解】Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.An attraction of sport programs for the major U. S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings (收视率) are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers. With such viewers, these programs don't need high ratings to stay on the air.1. Television sport programs on weekend afternoons ________.A．result in more sport eventsB．get more viewers to play sportsC．make more people interested in televisionD．bring more money to the television networks2. Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?A．Because there would be few viewers.B．Because the advertisers would be off work.C．Because television programs would go slowly.D．Because viewers would pay less for watching television.3. In many families, men make decisions on ________.A．holiday trips B．sports viewingC．television shopping D．expensive purchases4. The ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because ________.A．their advertisers are carmakers B．their viewers are attracted by sportsC．their advertisers target at rich peopleD．their viewers can afford expensive cars5. What is the passage mainly about?A．Television ratings are determined by male viewers.B．Rich viewers contribute most to television companies.C．Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television.D．Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events.【要点综述】本文叙述的是通过在星期六和星期日的下午播放一些电视节目来吸引那些高收入的人来看，给广告带来了极大的效益。

高一英语阅读理解练习（9）ABefore coming to France， I always thought that French people wear formal clothes. But， when I arrived in Paris， I came to know why France could remain the lead in world fashion and Paris could attract so many designers from all over the world to come.On the boulevard of Champs-elysees， there are many fashion shops of famous brands， such as Chanel， Dior， Pierre Cardin. In daily life， however， most of Parisians never wear clothes like those on the super models. On the opposite， I found people in Paris often dress in very simple designs and usually in dark.Such situation doesn‘t affect French designers to create more and more new styles. But I would say people in Paris dress more formally than those in the rest of France. In other French cities， what people wear are usually casual dresses， such asT-shirts and jeans.French people act as the fashion leaders， but they accept other clothes styles as well. Montpellier， the city I live in， is in southern France near the Mediterranean Sea. Here are many immigrants（移民） from Algeria， Morocco and other African countries. The Arabian and African cultures are influential（有影响的） in this city. Therefore， you can find a lot of young people dress in the North African style.36.
