高一英语上学期阅读理解20篇(一)一As a student, you must be excited to know something about American school students. In fact, just like in China, in the United States, high school is usually divided into two periods, the first two or three years are called “junior high school” and the other is “senior high school”.In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free education until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system (制度), American children have little difficulty in going to senior high school.American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activities are organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us students in China, American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And those who come out with low marks at the end of a school year and who should repeat a grade are often allowed to go on to the next grade.In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors. So children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban (郊区的) high schools, where most students want to go to university and the atmosphere (氛围) is quite different.1. Activities outside of the classroom refer to __________.A. what the students do after class in schoolB. what the students learn in extra classesC. what a music group or a sports team doD. what the teachers do after class for the students2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The time of free education in China is longer than that in America.B. Those who get good marks can go to a good university.C. American students can take all kinds of subjects during the high school period.D. They can be allowed to join the next grade even if they fail the school-year exam.3. The writer of the passage tells us the truth that ________.A. the atmosphere in high schools is quite different from that in a universityB. none of the schools in cities are good for learningC. suburban high schools are good places for learningD. all the American students want to go to university二Americans can travel almost anywhere they choose. But to protect its people, the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go. These places are unfriendly countries or countries at war. There, the traveller might not be safe. These countries are listed in a small book called a passport. This passport is a government request(要求) for the safety of its travelling people. It is also a government' s pledge (保证) that the people will obey the rules of the host country. To receive a passport from the government, a traveller must prove(证明) that he is an American citizen. An American can not go abroad without a passport. Only some close countries such as Canada and Mexico do not ask for passports. Inside the passport is the traveller's picture. Children travelling with their parents are included(包含) in one parent's book. Thousands of people from the United States visit other countries every year. An American traveller might carry plane tickets, money, clothing and many other things, but the most important that he carries inanother country is his passport.1. A passport is not needed when an American goes to .A. foreign countriesB. dangerous areasC. Canada or MexicoD. foreign countries2.

Which statement does the passage lead you to believe?A. People should take care of their passports.B. It is not important to have a passport to travel.C. Children are never included in a passport.D.

Which of the following statements is true?A.When Americans are travelling in another country, they must obey the rules of the country.B. The American government sometimes allow its people to travel to dangerous places.C. A passport is needed wherever an American is travelling.D.

The first period begins right after you are born and lasts until you are about six months old. The second period starts when you reach the age of 13. First, girls grow faster than boys, then boys catch up and grow faster and stronger.Your head stops growing earlier than the rest of you. By the time you are ten, your head is nearly full size. The bones of your arms and legs are short when you are a baby. When you reach the age of nine, your bones starts to grow rapidly, and will keep growing until you reach your full height (高度).Besides growing taller, your body changes in other ways. When a boy is about 13 years old, his voice begins to get deeper and he may begin to grow a beard (胡子). At about the age of 13, a girl’s body begins to function (运行) like a woman’s. Some important changes are taking place, changes that makes it possible for boys and girls, when they are older, to become fathers and mothers.1.

I do not want to bring my friends home becauseshe does not act like any of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home andstudy. I wish I could live in another family that was normal, but it will be 5 years before I am 18.What am I supposed to do until then?Prisoner of a CrazyHouseDear 7th Grader,I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feelings about her may change asyou get older and mature.While it is true that your mother’s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the factthat you want to stay separate from her doings is notable and very smart. It shows that you are awinner, not a loser. I am guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is agood thing. So, keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits.At the same time, try to get the best grades and join clubs and school activities.

That wasa typical (典型的) British Sunday in the 1960s. But things now could not be more different.Some British sociologists recently studied the typical British Sunday. They found that people getup later and do less housework than they did 40 years ago. They are far more likely to be outshopping or enjoying themselves than cooking Sunday lunch.Sunday mornings were busy 40 years ago. Most women caught up on their weekly housework andcooked a nice lunch. They seldom allowed themselves any “leisure” until afternoon, after the dishes were cleaned. Then there would be another rush to the table between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pmfor tea.But now, Britons can have brunch (早午餐) at the restaurant. Fewer people bother to cookthemselves.“You only have two free days a week. You don’t want to have to waste one because there isnothing to do but watch boring TV,” said Elizabeth Biggs, 25, a producer in London.“On Saturday you are recovering from the week,” Biggs added. “Sundays are the last chance for the weekend — you want to get as much as you can out of the day before you have to go back towork.”In the past, British women usually did their shopping during the week, while the husband was atwork. “Now men seem to do that as much as women,” said Jonathan Gershuny, a professor whotook part in the study.Men also do more housework now on Sundays. Back in the 1960s, men were far more likely tospend Sundays out of the house — at the pub or playing football — before lunch.1. Many Britons have brunch at the restaurant because _______.A. They have no time to cook at home.B. They get up too late.C. They won’t bother to cook themselves.D. They will go to church.2. Which of the following is NOT true?A.

The text mainly tells us ________.A. what Britons did on SundaysB. why Britons go shopping on SundaysC. how Britons spend their holidaysD. the changes of the ways the Britons spend their Sundays4. What can we infer from the passage?A. Men do more housework on Sundays.B. Sundays in Britain might be very boring in the past.C. No people go to church on Sundays now.D. Britons all go out on Sundays.八Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us somequestions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. Whenyou are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that theymust be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation orhaving a chat with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of peoplewill remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hearyou—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professorof your school or a government official who might meet you.

English speakers are always creating new words and we are often able to know where mostwords come from.Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever thinkabout why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham?About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big cityin Germany called Hamburg. They didn’t speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round piece of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. TheGermans didn’t understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round piece of bread and startedselling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today, “hamburgers” are sold in m countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certainmeaning is interesting, too.

He could face a jail term of between five andtwenty-five years without the option (选择) of a fine.”Security precautions (安全措施) were taken against the man — a resident from the wealthy (富有) Johannesburg suburb of Sandown —on the flight.s bags.Airline people didn’t find any explosives or weapons in hi“Security measures at airport and on plane have been intensified(加强)immediately after the recent horrific and tragic terror(恐怖)attacks in America,” a police statement said.

For some time, the Internet seems like a forest, filled with dangers for children. But forests have wonders as well as dangers, and with good guides, some education and a few precautions(预防措施) ,the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated(航行). "Children have to be on-line. If we tell our children they can' t have chances to the Internet, we' re cutting them off from their future," said an expert.Most children have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding lots ofinteresting Internet sites and they can also go to places where you might not want them to go.There are such engines made just for children. A certain software (软件) contains only sites thathave been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit chances would be to use what is knownBut this can't be wholly safe, and the best thing parents can do isas a "content screener(过滤器)”.to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Anotherway is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.A few other tips:1) Don' t put the PC in a child's room, but keep it in a place where mum or dad can keep an eye onthings. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.2) Ask your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like addressand phone number.3) Tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send themanything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.1.

What does the passage tell us most?A. EducationB. Good guidesC. PrecautionsD. Software十三Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle(航天飞机)Challenger, in June, 1993.The achievement of Sally Ride, America’s first woman astronaut to fly into space, made this flight especially memorable. Students from two high schools in Camden, New Jersey, however, arelikely to remember Norma rather than Sally whenever they think about the flight.(伙伴)along with her. Norma wasNorma didn’t travel along. She brought about 100 companionsan ant, a queen ant who, with her subjects, made up the first ant colony(群体)to travel into space.The ants were part of a science experiment designed by the students to test the effects ofweightlessness on insects.The equipment designed by the students for their colony functioned perfectly through-out the longspace trip. The young scientists and their teachers were very sad to find that their insect astronautshad all died at some point before the container was returned to the school and opened. Theproblem did not occur in space, but on the ground after Challenger had landed. The containerremained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony was removed. The hot dry desert air(容器)and the ants died from lack of moisture(水分).dried out the colony’s containerThe project was termed a success because it did provide useful information. Students will continuetheir efforts to find out exactly what went wrong. They will try to prevent the same difficultiesfrom recurring on future missions. They don’t want to be discouraged either by the death of the ants or by the $10,000 shuttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of ants into space.1.

Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Indus river in India. 2When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilisation. This civilisation later on developed into the cultures of ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. 3 Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn’t distinguish from the European culture a lot.4 Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race difference count as well. but what’s more, due tothe far distance and the steep areas between the East and the West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference from the other.The differences are everywhere. 5 But different cultures make the world of the 21st century more colourful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (障碍) to the civilisation of human beings. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.A. Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.B. One important thing is to learn about other cultures.C. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.D. At the same time. some other differences add to the cultural differences.E. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the wholeF. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.G.

【英语】高一英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Sometimes, you just can't help it. Maybe you're watching a sad movie, or thinking about the friend who moved away. Next thing you know, you feel pressure in your throat, your eyes are watering, and you have tears running down your cheeks.According to Ad Vingerhoets, a professor of psychology at Tilburg University, in the Netherlands, who is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying, there are three types of tears. Basal tears are the first type. They act as a protective barrier between the eye and the rest of the World. Next are reflex tears. They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them. Finally, there are emotional tears. "These are released in response to emotional states," explains Vingerhoets.Scientists believe crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other. "Humans are very complex social creatures," says Lauren Bylsma, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania. "It seems that tears serve to arouse help and support from others," She says.Vingerhoets agrees, "I think that the reason why humans shed tears(流眼泪)has somethingto do with our childhood, " he says. "that's the time when we are still dependent on adults for love and protection and care. The major advantage of emotional tears is that you can target themat a specific person." Vingerhoets says this ability could have come in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals. Tears were a safer way to get attention. "In this case, it is better to use a silent signal to ask for help, "he says.Vingerhoets and Byhma do frequent studies to better understand why humans cry. Accordingto Byhma, there is still much more to discover. "It's surprising, "she says, "how much we still don't know."(1)In the scientists' opinion, crying is ________.A.a sign of human evolutionB.a result of human kindnessC.a cause of personal growthD.a means of relying on each other(2)The underlined phrase "this ability" in the last paragraph refers to the ability to ________.A.seek help wiselyB.aim tears at someoneC.cry emotionallyD.appeal to other people(3)From the text, we learn that Ad Vingerhoets and Lauren Bylsma ________.A.hold different opinions about the causes of tearsB.think positively of the effects of tearsC.are working together to study tearsD.have learned enough about tears(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?A.The types of tearsB.The components of tearsC.The science of tearsD.The opinions about tears【答案】(1)D(2)B(3)B(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,从科学的角度分析了哭的类型和哭的原因等内容。

From her end of the conversation, I could tell rightaway her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled爬() underher covers, sobbing.

I got so into my work that I even didn noticeKate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief.Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine.

Sometimes, people end up getting hurt.Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. A person is put together in order to take care of himself and his own needs, not necessarily those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should guard against.The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friend the same way as you,d like to be treated. This is wonderful advicefor a friendship ’ becauseitis really the only way to make sure that you are givingyour friend everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she is in your shoes.Even if you ’ re always thinking about how you ’ d like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are issues that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these issues so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships. Is-sues like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends andleaving old friends behind are issues that will probably come up with one or more ofyour friendships. It is important to know how to deal with these issues so that you cankeep your friends and make new ones. No one wants to have a broken friendship.(1)This passage mainly deals with ________.A. the importance of friendshipsB. the advantages of friendshipsC. the problems with friendshipsD. the meaning of friendships(2)According to the author, problems with friendships may appear when ________.A. one is honestB. one is selfish(3)According to the passage,the first and most important thing to be other people ’ sfriend is _______.A. to treat your friends as fairly as possibleB. to give your friends whatever you have(4)The paragraphs following the passage may be about how to_______.A. make friendsB. treat friends correctlyC. keep friendsD. deal with friendshipissues 3.Online shopping has become more and more popular these years. Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, butduring the 2013 holiday season 58 percent of those shopping online were women.“ It shows how popular the Internet is becoming, ” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study. Rainie saidit was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This isbecause women traditionally make decisions about spending.Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages18 and 29 were responsible for some of the surprising increase in the online gift-buying population this time around.However, three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts onlinein 2013. They worried about credit card security( 安全), or just compared onlineprices with off-line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“ But even if shoppers don’ t buy online, websites are becoming promotion(促销)tools for stores,’, said Dan Hess ’ vice presidentComf Score Network Inc.

Astudy has found that where people stand is based on their social position on enteringthe lift.Rebekah Rousi, a Ph. D. student, did a study of lift behavior in two of the tallestoffice buildings in Adelaide, Australia. As part of her research, she took a total of 30lift rides in the two buildings, and discovered there was a fixed order about wherepeople chose to stand.In her research paper, she wrote that more senior men seemed to walk straighttowards the back of the lift. She said,“ In front of them were younger men, and in front of them were women of all ages. ”She also noticed there was a difference in thedirection where people looked during the ride.“ Men watched the monitors, looked in the side mirrors (in one building) to see themselves, and in the door mirrors (in the otherbuilding) to watch others. Women would watch the monitors and avoid looking intoothers,eyes (unless in conversations) and the mirrors.”Rebekah Rousi concluded that shyer people stand toward the front ,where theycan’ t see other passengers,while fearless people stand in the back, where theyhave a good view of everyone else.(1)According to the study, where people stand in a lift is decided by ________.A. their social positionB. the monitorsC. other passengersD. others’ position(2)Who are most likely to go to the back of the lift?A.

Over the years,the number of buildings around the castle grew.By 1350,the castle was no longer needed as a fort.The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.

Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for(参加) them. Football, for example, has spread(展开)around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. What fun it is to jump into a pool or lake, whether in China, Egypt or Italy! And think of people in cold countries. Think how many love to skate or ski (滑雪) in Japan, Norway or Canada. Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese wushu, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. Water-skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports. People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game together they often become good friends. Sports help to train(培养,训练) a person’s character(性格,品格).

When you’ve got it, you never think about it. When you haven’t got it, you think about it all the time. Our biggest enemies are not terrible diseases and so on. We are our own biggest enemies because we sometimes destroy our own good health. Some of us eat too much, drink too much and smoke too much. And though our reason tells us we should control ourselves, we find it difficult. The fact is that most human beings need stimulation (刺激). Who doesn’t enjoy a drink after a busy day? Only a smoker knows the pleasure of a cigarette with a cup of c offee. The danger is when these innocent pleasures run our lives and so destroy our health. When you find yourself eating between meals or eating too much rich food, when you can only keep yourself going by taking frequent (频繁的) drinks or by smoking one cigarette after another, then it’s time to stop and think what you might be doing to yourself. The funny thing is that when we don’t control ourselves, simple pleasures are no longer simple pleasures. All right, I know what you’re thinking. You’re probably saying, ―It’s easy to say, but I can’t help myself. I need that extra bit of food, that extra drink, that extra cigarette. Life has so many pleasures that I can’t do without them.‖ But I’m saying you can help yourself. Not only that, you must help yourself. Because if you don’t help yourself, no one else can. So be your own best friend. 36. The underlined word ―innocent‖(in Paragraph 2) means ________.A. not having done something wrongB. exciting or cheeringC. not having much experienceD. not expected to cause harm 37. This passage is mainly about ________. A. terrible diseases and so on B. enjoying pleasures after a busy day C. the difficulty of controlling ourselves D. the danger of too much drinking, smoking and eating 38. ―I can’t help myself‖ means ____________.A. I can’t do it myselfB. I must ask someone to helpC. I can’t control myselfD. Do help me, please 答案:36-38. DDC。

华东师大二附中2017届Reading Comprehension and Cloze Test II. Cloze(30%)(A)More and more shoppers are buying things online these days, allowing them to avoid 51 salespeople and long lines at checkout counters. In spite of online convenience, 52 , there are some items — like clothes — that customers prefer to 53 before buying. In light of this, two companies are finding ways to modernize stores and 54 the gap between online and in-store retail (零售).A software company that also happens to sell designer jeans, Hointer has created a fast and painless shopping 55 for its customers.Shoppers walk into a Hointer store and select one of the many pairs of jeans 56 down from bars. Then they point their smartphones at the tag and 57 the Hointer app, after which they select the size and press “try on.” The app then directs them to a specific dressing room. German-made robots bring out the 58 jeans and deliver them through a chute (斜槽) to the dressing room in about 30 seconds. Immediately after 59 pairs of jeans are dropped through another chute, the “outbox,” they disappear from the list in the app.Purchases at Hointer are made with a swipe (刷卡) of a credit card. And interacting with a salesperson is optional! This allows Hointer to hire fewer people and focus on their ultimate goal: developing 60 that supports a retail revolution.Men’s clothing retailer Bonobos has 61 a more personalized shopping experience. Although it is — in fact — an online retailer, Bonobos has decided to open a handful of brick-and-mortar stores called Guideshops. Shoppers make a(n) 62 online before arriving at a Guideshop, where they receive one-on-one 63 from a fitting guide. Because these shops have limited inventories (存货), shoppers aren’t able to take home the outfits they select. But guides help shoppers make online purchases before they leave, after which the items will be 64 to customers in one or two days.While Hointer focuses on convenience, Bonobos Guideshops focus on customer service. But both efforts have one thing 65 : giving clothing retailers a new look for the 21st century.51. A. respectable B. considerate C. aggressive D. violent52.

Doctor Green decides that the problem is a common 56 . For medicine, he prescribes (开药方) an antibiotic (抗生素). He says about 3 out of 4 patients have 57 problems that can be treated like this—through Virtual Urgent Care, which means a video chat could 58 a visit to the doctor’s office.“Patients’ safety is really important to us. So if we feel it is not 59 for the patient to be treated in this manner, we’re going to suggest other 60 for them,” said Green.The Franciscan Health System is based in Tacoma, Washington. It 61 $35 for this kind of virtual house call, which is much less than the cost of going to an emergency room, a doctor’s office or an urgent care clinic.After trying the video conference, Diana Rae says she would be 62 to pay the $35 when she was recently home with a bad cold. “I would have paid twice that for the 63 of getting taken care of without having to sit in a waiting room, wait, and get 64 everyone else’s germs,” Rae said.Franciscan operates hospitals and clinics and has a deal with a company called Carena to add effective urgent care by Skype or phone.

Vocabulary(20%)The idea of the youth hostel (旅社) started with one man: Richard Schirrmann (1874-1961), a German school teacher, who felt that there was a need for overnight accommodation for his students in order that they could see new things and have new experiences outside the 41 . He felt that one learns by observing, and tried to make his dream come true in the year 1909, when he started providing accommodation for his students in inns, farmhouses and the like.The first youth hostel was opened in Schirrmann’s own school in Altena, after which it was 42 by a permanent hostel in Altena Castle. Schirrmann went on to 43 the German Youth Hostel Association in the year 1919. By this time, the idea of the youth hostel had 44 far and wide, all over the lands of Europe and further.And then, in the year 1932, a(n) 45 organization called the International Youth Hostel was founded in Amsterdam, which consisted of youth hostels from Switzerland, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Norway, Britain, Ireland, France, P.F. Productions Czechoslovakia, Denmark and Belgium. Richard Schirrmann became its chairman in 1933.The idea of the youth hostel is for young people who are on nature trips to get 46 accommodation in exchange zhucanqi for some money and a helping hand with the domestic chores (家务活). These hostels were said to build character and a sense of independence, as the youth who stayed in them got the 47 to see how other people lived as well as to help to do work.Youth hostels are also places to meet and make new friends. They have no class 48 and everyone has to do their share. Here, wealth and position does not help you gain 49 , but friendliness does. The friendlier P.F. Productions you are, the more you learn from the 50 of staying in a youth hostel.(B)you’ll see plenty of them with their heads down, tapping the screens of their tablets or 41 on their smartphones. While these folks may be making good use of their time by staying 42 , their bodies are paying a heavy price for such convenience.As hand-held devices such as smartphones and tablets are becoming more common, users are reporting some new 43 problems. Florida chiropractor (脊椎按摩师) Dean Fishman began noticing an increased number of his patients 44 of neck and shoulder pain. He traced these 45 to the overuse of hand-held devices, specifically the action of bending the neck, and created the term “Text Neck.” As if the painful symptoms weren’t bad enough, Fishman warns that an untreated case of Text Neck could lead to 46 spinal (脊柱的) damage. He founded the Text Neck Institute in an effort to treat and educate those suffering from Text Neck. Treatments offered there include chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy and exercise planning.In order to avoid or reduce the possibility of getting Text Neck, use the following basic principles:●Avoid awkward positioning. Don’t strain (滥用) your neck, and stay aware of how your bodyis 47 in relation to the device.●Take frequent 48 when using any kind of mobile device.●When using a tablet, use a case that can back up the device at comfortable 49 angle. For those who 50 can’t take their eyes off their devices, there is an ironic twist – downloading a special app(应用程序)could help. Dr. Fishman has released an app called the Text Neck Indicator App, which measures the angle of your smartpphone. When the angle is appropriate, a green light appears in the upper corner of your screen. But when the angle puts you at risk for neck strain, the light turns red, obliging you to adjust your angle.III. Reading(25%)(A)Foreseeing a time when a patient’s own cells may be harvested, multiplied, and fashioned into a replacement organ, P.F. Productions researchers in Boston have successfully transplanted laboratory grown bladders (肾) into six dogs.For a century, physicians have replaced diseased or damaged bladders by removing sections of a person’s intestines (肠子) and shaping them into a substitute bladder. While the procedure offers some relief to patients, complications often develop because nature designs intestinal tissue for a purpose—absorbing nutrients—other than holding waste liquid of the body. “You start absorbing stuff that should be removed,” says Anthony Atala of the Children’s Hospital in Boston.Other physicians have turned to human-made materials to create artificial bladders, but those efforts have also run into problems. P.F. Productions Consequently, to build a better bladder, Atala and his colleagues decided to employ the organ’s own cells.To turn the cells into an organ, the researchers first form plastic which can break down naturally into bladder-shaped shell. They then coat its outside and inside with layers of cells needed.To test this strategy, Atala’s group obtained bladder tissue from dogs and grew it into organs. After removing the dogs’ bladders, the investigators implanted (移植) the artificial ones coming from the dogs’ own cells. Within a month, the organs began to perform like normal bladders.Within three months, the plastic shells had broken down naturally, and the implanted organs were hard to distinguish from natural ones. Blood vessels (血管) quickly grew into them. Moreover, nerves seem to form proper connections with the new organs, allowing the dogs to regain normal control of their bladders. Some dogs have had the artificial bladders for nearly a year without any problems.While the bladders of dogs closely resemble those of people, Atala warns that more testing of this transplant strategy must occur before artificial bladders are ready for the clinic.74. The traditional method of shaping parts of intestines into a substitute bladder ______.A. brings the patient a lot of sufferingsB. allows the patient to absorb useless thingsC. prevents the patient from absorbing nutrientsD. worsens both the function of the intestines and the bladder75. The artificial bladders implanted in dogs ______.A. worked perfectly as long as three monthsB. did not work properly until after a monthC. proved to be able to work for several yearsD. began to work as well as a normal one in a few weeks76. Why is it suggested that more testing should be made?A. Human bladders may well be different from dogs’.B. Dogs’ bladders can be implanted into human bodies.C. What suits dogs’ bladders will also suit human bladders.D. Artificial bladders grown in dogs can be used for human beings.77. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The history of making artificial P.F. Productions bladders.B. The way of turning intestines into bladders.C. The prospect of manufacturing plastic bladders.D. The possibility of making bladders from their own cells.(B)The report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics was just as gloomy as anticipated. Unemployment in January jumped to a 16-year high of 7.6 percent, as 598, 000 jobs were slashed from U. S. payrolls in the worst single-month decline since December, 1974. With 1.8 million jobs lost in the last three months, there is urgent desire to boost the economy as quickly as possible. But Washington would do well to take a deep breath before reacting to the grim numbers.Collectively, we rely on the unemployment figures and other statistics to frame our sense of reality. They are a vital part of an array of data that we use to assess if we're doing well or doing badly, and that in tum shapes government policies and corporate budgets and personal spending decisions. The problem is that the statistics aren't an objective measure of reality;they are simply a best approximation. Directionally, they capture the trends, but the idea that we know precisely how many are unemployed is a myth. That makes finding a solution all the more difficult.First, there is the way the data is assembled. The official unemployment rate is the product of a telephone survey of about 60, 000 homes. There is another survey, sometimes referred to as the"payroll survey, "that assesses 400, 000 businesses based on their reported payrolls. Both surveys have problems. The payroll survey can easily double-count someone: if you are one person with two jobs, you show up as two workers. The payroll survey also doesn't capture the number of self-employed, and so says little about how many people are generating an independent income.The household survey has a larger problem. When asked straightforwardly. people tend to lie or shade the truth when the subject is sex, money or employment. If you get a call and are asked if you're employed, and you say yes, you're employed. If you say no, however, it may surprise you to learn mat you are only unemployed it you've been actively looking tor work in the past four weeks: otherwise, you are"marginally attached to the labor force"and not actually unemployed.The urge to quantify is embedded in our society. But the idea that statisticians can then capture an objective reality isn't just impossible. It also leads to serious misjudgments. Democrats and Republicans can and will take sides on a number of issues, but a more crucial concern is that both are basing major policy decisions on guesstimates rather than looking at the vast wealth of raw data with a critical eye and an open mind.52. What do we learn from the first paragraph?[A]The U. S. economic situation is going from bad to worse.[B]Washington is taking drastic measures to provide more j obs.[C]The U. S. government is slashing more jobs from its payrolls.[D]The recent economic crisis has taken the U. S. by surprise.53. What does the author think of the unemployment figures and other statistics?[A]They form a solid basis for policy making.[B]They represent the current situation.[C]They signal future economic trends.[D]They do not fully reflect the reality.54. One problem with the payroll survey is that________________.[A]it does not include all the businesses[B]it fails to count in the self-employed[C]it magnifies the number of the jobless[D]it does not treat all companies equally55. The household survey can be faulty in that_________________.[A]people tend to lie when talking on the phone[B]not everybody is willing or ready to respond[C]some people won't provide truthful information[D]the definition of unemployment is too broad56. At the end of the passage, the author suggests that_____________.[A]statisticians improve their data assembling methods[B]decision makers view the statistics with a critical eye[C]politicians listen more before making policy decisions[D]Democrats and Republicans cooperate on crucial issues(C)At some point in 2008, someone, probably in either Asia or Africa, made the decision to move from the countryside to the city. This nameless person pushed the human race over a historic threshold, for it was in that year that mankind became, for the first time in its history,a predominantly urban species.It is a trend that shows no sign of slowing. Demographers(人口统计学家)reckon that three. quarters of humanity could be city-dwelling by 2050, with most of the increase coming in the fast—growing towns of Asia and Africa. Migrants to cities are attracted by plentiful jobs, access to hospitals and education, and the ability to escape the boredom of a farmer's agricultural life. Those factors are more than enough to make up for the squalor(肮脏), disease and spectacular poverty that those same migrants must often at first endure when they become urban dwellers.It is the city that inspires the latest book from Peter Smith. His main thesis is that the buzz of urban life, and the opportunities it offers for co-operation and collaboration, is what attracts people to the city, which in turn makes cities into the engines of art,commerce, science and progress. This is hardly revolutionary,but it is presented in a charming format. Mr Smith has written a breezy guidebook,with a series of short chapters dedicated to specific aspects of urbanity-parks, say,or the various schemes that have been put forward over the years for building the perfect city. The result is a sort of high-quality, unusually rigorous coffee—table book,designed to be dipped into rather than read from beginning to end.In the chapter on skyscrapers, for example, Mr Smith touches on construction methods, therevolutionary invention of the automatic lift, the practicalities of living in the sky and the likelihood that, as cities become more crowded, apartment living will become the norm. But there is also time for brief diversions onto bizarre ground, such as a discussion of the skyscraper index(which holds that a boom in skyscraper construction is a foolproof sign of an imminent recession).One obvious criticism is that the price of breadth is depth;many Of Mr Smith's essays raise as many questions as they answer. Although that can indeed be frustrating, this is probably the only way to treat so grand a topic. The city is the building block of civilization and of almost everything people do;a guidebook to the city is really, therefore, a guidebook to how a largeand ever. growing chunk of humanity chooses to live. Mr Smith's book serves as an excellent introduction to a vast subject, and will suggest plenty of further lines of inquiry.57. In what way is the year 2008 historic?[A]For the first time in history, urban people outnumbered rural people.[B]An influential figure decided to move from the countryside to the city.[C]It is in this year that urbanization made a start in Asia and Africa.[D]The population increase in cities reached a new peak in Asia and Africa.58. What does the author say about urbanization?[A]Its impact is not easy to predict.[B]Its process will not slow down.[C]It is a milestone in human progress.[D]It aggravates the squalor of cities.59. How does the author comment on Peter Smith's new book?[A]It is but an ordinary coffee. table book.[B]It is flavored with humorous stories.[C]It serves as a guide to arts and commerce.[D]It is written in a lively and interesting style.60. What does the author say in the chapter on skyscrapers?[A]The automatic lift is indispensable in skyscrapers.[B]People enjoy living in skyscrapers with a view.[C]Skyscrapers are a sure sign of a city's prosperity.[D]Recession closely follows a skyscraper boom.61. What may be one criticism of Mr Smith's book?[A]It does not really touch on anything serious.[B]It is too long for people to read from cover to cover.[C]It does not deal with any aspect of city life in depth.[D]It fails to provide sound advice to city dwellers.IV.

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇It’s hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool’s Day. On April 1 each year, people play tricks on each other. These tricks are usually silly rather than mean. Classmates sometimes tie each other’s shoelaces to their chairs. Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that scares students before they realise it’s only a joke. Newspapers announce fake contests (such as “Win an elephant!”) and report on fake stories (like “UFO” lands in New York City).Forget gifts, songs and special foods-those are for the other holidays of the year. On April Fool’s Day, the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble).One April Fool’s Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers. They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria. The chickens ran all round the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers were flying everywhere.Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them. Finally, they caught four of them. But the chickens were wearing numbered tags around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens NO. 1, 2, 3, and 5. Where was chicken No. 4?The te achers looked and looked. They couldn’t find another chicken. After a few hours, they realised that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place! They’d been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.It’s been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool’s Day remains one of my favourite memories from those years.1.What can we infer from the first paragraph on April Fool’s Day?A.Everyone is hard to avoid being fooled on April Fool’s Day.B.Students play jokes on teachers on April Fool’s Day.C.Teachers play tricks on students on April Fool’s Day.D.Newspapers often cheat people.2.Why did students set chickens free?A.They wanted to let chickens free. B.They wanted to let chickens run all round the school.C.They wanted to see feathers flying. D.They wanted to play a trick on the teachers. 3.How many jokes did the students play on the teachers?A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.【答案】1.A2.D3.B【分析】这是一篇记叙文。

冀教版高一英语阅读理解专练(一)AI f you think about World Heritage Sites, you probably think of places connected with ancient art and culture, historical buildings and monuments. And of course, many of these are on the World Heritage List (WHL). But the WHL contains a lot of sites that are not so obvious. Let's look at a few of them.Robben Island in South AfricaThis island was used through the centuries as a prison, a hospital and a military base. But it's probably most famous as a maximum-security prison for political prisoners in the twentieth century. Nelson Mandela was one of its most famous residents. The WHL says it represents “the victory of democracy and freedom over oppression and racism”.Borders of France and SpainThis is an area of great natural beauty and the mountains have many interesting geological formations. But it is also an area of small farms. People there still use a type of agriculture that used to be common in mountainous areas of Europe but has almost completely disappeared in modern times.The city of Brasilia , BrazilBrasilia is a capital city that was created from nothing in 1956. The WHL calls it “a landmark in the history of town planning”. The different areas of the city and the buildings themselves were all designed at the same time carefully. Every part of the city shows the ideas of the planner and architect.Simien National Park , EthiopiaSimien National Park was one of the first sites to be listed in 1978. Itis one of the highest mountain areas in Africa, and the WHL calls it “one o f the most spectacular landscapes in the world”. It is also important for its wildlife. The population of some rare animals is getting smaller and smaller.1.The passage mainly talks about ________.A.the remains of ancient cultures on the WHL B.the household heritage sites on the WHLC.some of the not so obvious sites on the WHL D.places of artistic or cultural importance2.The WHL has listed Borders of France and Spain probably because ________.A.it shows us past European society through the type of agriculture B.this is an area of great natural beautyC.the mountains there have many interesting geological formations D.people there still use a type of agriculture that is common in Europe in modern times3.Which of the following sites was listed on the WHL for its political symbol?A.Simien National Park, Ethiopia. B.The city of Brasilia, Brazil.C.Borders of France and Spain. D.Robben Island in South Africa.BCultural differences do exist, and we can really use them to tighten our relationship as human beings. Because there is strength in diversity. So, we are going to expose some interesting cultural differences around the world in this article. Read some interesting cultures around the world to help you travel out of your homeland!In Greece spitting (吐痰) at weddings is believed to drive away devil (恶魔). Funny as it sounds, this cultural tradition is an important practice. To make it even more shocking, this spitting is focused on the bride. It is seen as good luck to bless the couple. However, Things have been changed in some parts of Greece these days. Wedding guests just face the bride and make sounds and impressions that show they are spitting on her—without actually spitting.Everybody knows the Thai people are so friendly, but their culture demands that you never point your feet at anyone of any statue, especially that of the Buddha. In addition, they also consider the head to be more important than other parts of the body. This is why it is disrespectful to touch another person’s head in Thailand. Statues are not left out. If you see the Buddha statue, avoid touching its head as well.Russians are very hospitable (好客的) people. In their culture food is serious business. Lunch is the most important and heaviest meal. If you get invited by your Russia n friend for a meal, don’t ever refuse it-they find it impolite. You might want to skip your own meals to leave space in your stomach for the food you will eat in Russian gatherings. This is very interesting cultural difference between Russian people and other nations.Since there is limited knowledge about cultures outside your own, you won’t be able to really flow with a foreigner. Now, you know some about the cultural differences around the world, so we hope it will make your life easier.1.Why do Greek spit at wedding?A.To add fun to the wedding. B.To send wishes to the couple.C.To celebrate the new wedding. D.To drive away bad luck and bless the couple.2.What should be avoided if you are in Thailand?A.Eating too much food for a meal. B.Touching your head in your home.C.Pointing your feet before the Buddha. D.Spiting in your best friend's wedding.3.What can we learn from paragraph four?A.We should accept their meals in Russia.B.We need to eat as little as we can in Russia.C.We can refuse the food Russian people give.D.We should not arrive late for a meal in Russia.4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Beautiful tourist attractions in the worldB.The most delicious food in different countriesC.Interesting wedding traditions in Asian nationsD.Surprising cultural differences around the worldCMuch older than the Great Wall,Stonehenge is one of the world’s most fascinating (迷人的),but least understood historical sites.Everyyear,thousands of tourists come to admire Stoneh enge’s beauty and to wonder about how and why it was built.Stonehenge was produced by a culture that left no written records.Though there are many guesses,it is still a mystery why stone-age man moved such heavy stones over 380 kilometers from where they were made.At that time,people had only basic wooden tools.To move the stones they probably used tree trunks to roll them along.Some historians believe that Stonehenge was a temple,the site of ancient sacrifice(祭祀).Others believe it was perhaps a giant sundial (日晷) to tell the time.Stonehenge could have been a burial ground from its earliest beginning,because human bone dating from as early as 3000 BC was found there.Whatever its ancient use was,the stones have always been a source of fascination for British people.One record from 1135 said the great stones were carried to England by giant magical creatures!In modern times Stonehenge has become a huge hit withtourists.When Stonehenge was first opened to the public it was possible to walk among and even climb on the stones,but the stones were circled with ropes in 1977 as a result of serious erosion(侵蚀).Visitors are no longer allowed to touch the stones,but are able to walk around from a short distance away.What’s more,visitors can make special bookings to get into the stones throughout the year.5.Why is the Great Wall mentioned in paragraph 1?A.To show Stonehenge has a long history.B.To show it has a long history.C.To attract people to visit it.D.To attract people to visit Stonehenge.6.Which of the following about Stonehenge is not mentioned in the passage?A.The ticket price for visiting it.B.The reason why it was built.C.The way it was built.D.The use of

Well-designed tools and equipment will require less force to operate them and prevent awkward(别扭的)hand positions.

Then yoga may be the perfect choice for you. Yoga can be practiced by people of all ages and levels of fitness.6.It's a great way to strengthen your muscles and become more flexible.In the 1930s, Indian Sri Tirumali and K. Pattabhi developed one of the most popular forms of yoga practised worldwide today. They worked together using an ancient Sansknt text called Yoga Korunta to create a set routine of yoga movements and breathing exercises. 7.Ashtanga is different from other forms of yoga. It is a very powerful form of aerobic (有氧的)exercise which creates deep heat in the body. 8.In other forms of yoga, however, the routine can change each time and the stretching exercises aren't aerobic.9.As well as making you stronger and more flexible, it can also help you to stay calm. By focusing on your breathing while doing physical exercise, you are able to get a balance between mind and body. In addition, yoga helps to make us healthier so we are less likely to get common illnesses like colds.Furthermore, yoga encourages you to think about what you're doing. Often you will close your eyes while doing certain movements.10.After a few lessons you'll stop looking at what the others around you are doing.

But while the exact origins of puppet theatre are unknown, it has been popular in many cultures and may have been the very first kind of theatre,” he explains.Roberts’ shows are highly original. “A puppet show can involve a nything from clowning(傻逗) to storytelling,” he says. Equally diverse are the audiences he performs for. “Some are attracted by the puppets themselves, while others enjoy the dialogue.” Roberts believes that this form of entertainment can be appreciated by people of all ages and cultures.Roberts’ interest in puppets started when he received some beautiful glove puppets one Christmas. He started putting on shows with these for family and friends and then moved on to handmade Chinese string puppets. Learning mostly from books and personal experience, he explains, “I was already spending most of my free time carving puppets and putting on shows, so I hardly noticed the change from students to full-time professional puppeteer.”The puppets are designed specifically for each show, which is extremely time consuming. According to Roberts, “Sometimes what you expect and what you actually create in the end are two very different things. I’ve made some of my best puppets ‘accidentally’.”When most people hear the word “puppetry”, they more than likely think of a way of keeping children entertained at birthday parties. Certainly the subject matter will be expected to belight-hearted rather than serious. However, Roberts wants to point out that puppets convey serious messages sometimes.” he says.11.What do we know about puppetry in the first paragraph?A.It is a most popular form of entertainment.B.It cannot give people pleasure any more.C.It was first brought to life by Peter Roberts.D.Its value as an art form is not fully recognized.12.In Roberts’ eyes, his puppet shows .A.usually attract people full of humorB.are most something for old aged audienceC.display something meaningful for different peopleD.involve hard work and great intelligence13.Roberts developed an interest in puppets because of .A.the puppet show books B.his university majorC.a Christmas gift D.some Chinese string puppets14.What does Roberts want people to think of puppet theatre?A.It is just a kind of entertainment for kids.B.It can be educational as well as entertaining.C.It is only a kind of serious art form.D.It should be kept light-hearted.A family is a collection of people who share the same genes but cannot agree on a place to pull over for lunch. Ed and I, plus his parents and sister Doris and eight-year-old niece Alisha, are on a road trip to Yosemite. Ed wants Subway, I want. In-N-Out Burger, Doris wants Sonic. In the end, we compromise on McDonald’s, where Alisha will get an action figure.It’s a three-hour drive to Yosemite, bu t we’re taking a little longer, as we’re working in a tour of Highway 80’s public restrooms. As the saying goes, “Not one bladder(膀胱)empties but another fills.” Many of these restrooms belong to gas stations. I prefer them to the high-tech ones on planes.We get back on the road. Ed is driving now. When all the tabloids(小报)have been read, the travel has grown tedious and anyone unde r age 12 asks “Are we there yet?” at ever-shortening internals. Just outside Manteca, California, we stop for coffee. At a Starbucks checkout, Ed buys a CD of Joni Mitchell’s favorite musical picks. The hope is that it will have a calming effect.As we pull back onto the highway, it starts to pour. Then something amazing happens. As we climb the mountain, the rain turns to snow. The pines are spotted with white. We’re struck dumb(说不出话)by the scene outside. For a solid 15 minutes, everyone forgets about their bladder, their blood sugar and the temperature. Alisha has never seen snow, so we pull over to make snowmen and catch snowflakes on our tongues. Then Ed realizes we need tire chains, and we have to turn back and drive 30miles to Oakhurst. “Good,” says Doris. “There was a very nice restroom there.”15.Where does the family have lunch?A.At Sonic.B.At Subway.C.At McDonald’s.D.At In-N-Out Burger.16.Why does the family spend so much time going to Yosemite?A.They stop a few times for gas.B.They go to the toilet frequently.C.They are affected by the bad weather.D.They need to rest and refresh themselves. 17.What does the underlined word “tedious” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Boring B.Difficult.C.Educational.D.Comfortable.18.How does the family feel when it snows?A.Sorry.B.Excited.C.Worried.D.Relaxed.As we know, at present many students in many countries including China are learning English. Some of these students are small children. Others are teenagers. Many are adults. Some learn at school, others by themselves. A few learn English by learning the language over the radio, on TV, or in film. One must work hard to learn another language besides one’s native langu age.Why do all these people want to learn English? It is difficult to answer this question. Many boys and girls learn English at school because it is one of their subjects required for study. They study their own language and maths and English: Some people learn it because it is useful for their work. Many people learn English for their work. Many people learn English for their higher studies, because at college or university some of their books are in English. Other people learn English because they want to read newspapers or magazines in English.Therefore, as a middle school student, you must work harder at English. It is a good habit to read English aloud and practise speaking English every day. It is important to learn some useful expressions by heart. If you have a good knowledge of English, you will get a good future. 19.People learn English_________.A.not all in the same way B.over the radioC.on TV D.at school20.From this passage we know that_________.A.we can learn English easilyB.English is very difficult to learnC.English is learned by all the people in the worldD.English is a useful language, so one must work hard to learn it21.Which of the following is right?A.We don’t need to learn any foreign languages.B.We can do well in all our work without English.C.English is the most important subject in schools.D.We should learn English because we need to face the world.Recently, as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his school team, I was feeling sorry for myself and for him. His team was facing adversity(困境) on the court, trailing for three quarters of the game. As for me, I had just been dismissed from my job.As I watched what my son was experiencing, I recalled the events earlier in the day—packing up everything in a box and saying goodbye to my colleagues. During the drive home, I kept telling myself that I will find work again—I am confident in my experience and abilities, but self-doubt was still sticking its foot in the door.The game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan’s team still trailing. I saw the determination on his back to not only tie the game, but then go ahead by three points. Then, a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the game up again. With a tie game and seconds on the clock, Nathan found himself with the ball and with skill and confidence, he made the basket with a defender hanging all over him. The other player was called for a foul(犯规).As Nathan stood preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points, I saw the focus and determination on his face, with no room for self-doubt. After he made the free throw, his team managed to stop the other team from scoring, winning the game and moving on to the finals.As I sat there, my heart bursting with pride, it dawned on me. I had taught him perseverance(毅力) in the face of adversity, and he had just taught me the same lesson.

A.parent visits B.a fine of $100C.the Student Court D.a written noticeWith only about 1,000 pandas left in the world,China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species.That's a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah's Ark”.Noah's Ark is aimed at collecting eggs,embryos(胚胎),semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen.If certain species should become extinct,Dr.Duane Kraemer,a professor in Texas A & M's College of Veterinary Medicine,says there would be enoughof the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.It is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of mammals,birds' reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years.The panda,native only to China,is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.This week,Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit.They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.“The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy,and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes.“They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby).It takes a long time and it's difficult,but this could be groundbreaking science if it works.They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk,so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer,who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A & M,the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.“They are trying to do something that's never been done,and this is very similar to our work in Noah's Ark.We're both trying to save animals that face extinction.I certainly appreciate their effort and there's a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do.It's a research that is very much needed.”29.The aim of “Noah's Ark” project is to ________.A.make efforts to clone the endangered pandasB.save endangered animals from dying outC.collect DNA of endangered animals to studyD.transfer the nuclear of one animal to another30.According to Professor Kraemer,the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of ________.A.available panda eggs B.host animalsC.qualified researchers D.enough money31.Which of the following should be the best title for the passage?A.China's Success in Pandas CloningB.The First Cloned Panda in the WorldC.Exploring the Possibility to Clone PandasD.China—the Native Place of Pandas Forever32.From the passage we know that ________.A.Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dogB.scientists try to implant a panda's egg into a rabbitC.Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researchesD.about two thousand species will probably die out in a centuryChoose Your One-Day-Tours!Tour A - Bath &Stonehenge including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge -£37 until 26 March and £39 thereafter.

Whatever you think about London, visiting as a tourist is very different from living there. Each part of London has its own character. Some parts are richer than others, or more industrial, or have better housing.Let’s start with the centre, the “Square Mile”. This is the oldest part of London. In the past, it was where all financial business was done. Not many people live here, but 300,000 people work here every day.Moving west, we come to the West End. This busy shopping and entertainment district is bursting with things to do. Take a walk down Oxford Street, and you will see big department stores like Selfridges and Harrods. Rents here are very high; a one-bedroom apartment may cost around 1,000 pounds a week. Further away is West London. This area is more residential(住宅的)and very fashionable.The East End contains the Port of London, which historically is where many immigrants first arrived. Waves of French, Belgians, Jews, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis have all lived here. This makes the culture of this area very various. London won the bid to hold the Olympics in 2012, so many Londoners hope that housing, education and employment for many people in this area will improve.It is difficult to be general about London. The city is made up of a " collection of villages”, each area with its own character and community. Put them all together, and you have London, an international capital.36.Which of the following descriptions about Square Mile is NOT true?A.It is the oldest part of London.B.It is the center of London.C.All financial business was once done there.D.300, 000 people live there.37.Tom, an American, wants to go shopping in London.

The International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE) holds events for competitive eating all around the world. One of the most popular contests (竞赛) is held every 4th of July on Coney Island in New York. Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest started in 1916 and the event has been dominated (占据优势) by Takeru Kobayashi. The Japanese competitor set his first record in 2001, when he ate 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes and has won the contest six years in a row.The main types of food eaten in the contests are fast food. Hot dogs, chicken wings, pickles, corndogs and pizza are main foods of the contests. The contests usually last from around 8 to 12 minutes. Now most of the competitors are men, but there are also women who take part in competitive eating.Being large and overweight isn’t necessarily an advantage in competitive eating. The biggest advantage a competitor can have is the ability to actually stretch (扩张) their stomach. Many competitors will drink plenty of water over a period of time in order to achieve this. Apart from having an unusually stretchable stomach, another important thing seems to be hand to mouth speed.The IFOCE has very strict safety guidelines laid out regarding competitive eating. Competitions must take place in a controlled area and only competitors over the age of 18 are allowed to enter. They also advise against any type of home training. There has been much talk regarding the inclusion of competitive eating as an Olympic sport. Although the IFOCE has talkedabout that with the Olympic committee, it seems that they will not agree to it at present. 40.Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest _____.A.has a history of over 200 yearsB.takes place once a year in JapanC.is becoming less popular than beforeD.has made Takeru Kobayashi famous41.What do we know about eating contests?A.Fast food is the only type of food.B.They usually last ten minutes or so.C.Only men are allowed to enter a contest.D.They are open to competitors of all ages.42.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.How to win an eating contest.B.The history of competitive eating.C.Safety guidelines from the IFOCE.D.The disadvantages of eating too much.43.What’s the main purpos e of the text?A.To report.B.To advertise.C.To introduce.D.To warn.The year before the first modern Olympic Games,Greece invited China to send a team.But the Qing government(政府)didn’t send any athletes to the Games.China did not take part in the Olympics until the 10th Games,held in Los Angeles in 1932.There,Liu Changchun took part in the men’s 100­metre and 200­metre races.He did not win any medals.China won her first gold medal at the 23rd Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984,when Xu Haifeng won the men’s free shooting event.China came in fourth with 15 gold medals in all.At the 2000 Olympics in Sydney,Australia,China won 28 gold medals,entering the top three of the medal chart for the first time.September 22nd,2000 was named China Day because China won six gold,three silver and one bronze medals that day.In 2004,the 28th Olympic Games were held in Athens,Greece.Two hundred and two countries took part in the Games.China got the second place with thirty-two gold,seventeen silver andfourteen bronze medals.We all know that in 2008,the Olympic Games were held in Beijing,where China won the first place.44.When was China first invited to the Olympics?A.In Tang Dynasty(朝代).B.In Song Dynasty.C.In Ming Dynasty.D.In Qing Dynasty.45.Which Olympics did China take part in?A.The tenth Olympics.B.The eighth Olympics.C.The fifth Olympics.D.The first Olympics.46.Who won the first gold medal for China in the Olympics?A.Liu Changchun.B.Xu Haifeng.C.Zhuang Yong.D.Liu Xiang.47.How many medals did China win at the 28th Olympics?A.Thirty-two.B.Seventeen.C.Fourteen.D.Sixty-three.48.In 2008 China hosted________Olympic Games.A.the 28th Winter B.the 28th SummerC.the 29th Winter D.the 29th SummerForeign visitors to the UK might be disappointed when they learn that not everyone there speaks like Harry Potter and his friends. Usually, there’s an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what’s known as a Received Pronunciation (RP, 标准发音) accent, also called “the Queen’s English”. However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak in their own regional accents.Scouse, Glaswegian and Black Country – from Liverpool, Glasgow and the West Midlands – are just three of the countless non-RP accents that British people speak with. There are even differences in accents between towns or cities just 30 kilometers apart. What is even more disappointing is that not speaking in a RP accent may mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life.In a 2015 study by The University of South Wales, videos of people reading a passage in three。

In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary.I understand why my mother is worried about my future major.I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.65. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?A. The writer’s studies.B. The writer’s future jobC. Dinner plansD. Wars around the world66. We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the writer’s mother____________.A. doesn’t want the writer to major in EnglishB. doesn’t think the writer should be a doctorC. gets along very well with the writerD. doesn’t think working in the science field is a good idea67. The underlined word “bemoans” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _____________.A. agreesB. shoutsC. complainsD. smiles68. Which of following statements is probable TRUE about the writer?A. He wants to be like his mother’s co-worker’s son.B. He wants to find a job in his community in the future.C. He doesn’t think his mother’s co-worker’s son is perfect.D. He wants to do something he really likes in the future.第二篇:Everybody is afraid of something. That’s what more than 1,700 kids told us when we asked them about fears and scary stuff. We gave kids a list of 14 scary things and asked which one frightened them most. Here are the top 5 answers from our survey (调查): ①Scary movies and TV shows; ②Scary dreams; ③Thunderstorms, hurricanes (飓风), and other horrible weather; ④War and terrorism (恐怖行动); ⑤Sounds heard at night.But not everyone is afraid of the same thing. And what makes one person scared can be of no big deal for someone else. Plenty of kids said their biggest fear wasn’t on our list.What is fear?Fear is a feeling that everyone has —it’s programmed into all of us —and that’s a good thing because fear is there to protect us. We’re born with a sense of fear so we can react to something that could be dangerous. The baby cries, and their mom comes over to comfort him or her, helping the baby feel safe and OK again.Real vs. PretendThe best way to get over a fear is to get more information about it. As kids get older, they understand more and start seeing the difference between what is real and unreal. So when William’s imagination leads him to think of witches, he can tell himself, “Wait a minute. They’re only pretend things. I don’t need to worry about them.”The same goes for the dark. A kid’s imagination can start playing tricks when the lights go out. What’s under my bed? Is that a thief I hear? With the help of a parent, kids can get more comfortablein the dark. Using a nightlight or shining a flashlight under the bed to see that there’s nothing there can help kids fight that fear.73. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The list of fears is not complete.B. The things people fear are of no big fear.C. Kids have more fears than people think.D. People are afraid of different things.74. In the writer’s opinion, ___________.A. having a sense of fear is not a bad thingB. babies have a weak sense of fearC. fear is not something that we are born withD. not all people can react to dangerous things75. What does the underlined word “pretend” in paragraph 4 mean?A. UglyB. UsualC. UnrealD. Lovely>>>>>>参考答案<<<<<<第一篇:B A C D第二篇:D A C。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇You may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Even if you know some freshmen (新生) , you still feel nervous that you don't know any upperclassmen or teachers. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces?Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts, which is helpful not only because you can know your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognise a few familiar faces. When you talk to your new classmates, you'll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They're all new to the school and don't know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with them can help you develop friendships.The work in high school is something that freshmen are probably worried about. The work in high school builds on what you learnt in middle school, giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it's a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.High school also has more extracurricular activities than middle school does such as clubs, music and theatre groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.High school gives you the chance to learn how to manage your time, to develop your social skills and interests, and more importantly to be more independent and responsible.1.What does the underlined word “orientation” mean in Paragraph 2?A.Training. B.Game.C.Discussion. D.Examination.2.What are freshmen probably worried about?A.The learning task.B.The ability to make friends.C.The relationship with teachers.D.The freshman orientation.3.Extracurricular activities mainly help students ________.A.build up healthy bodiesB.develop friendshipsC.develop the interestsD.improve their learning ability4.Who is this passage written for?A.Freshmen at high school.B.Freshmen's parents.C.Middle school students.D.Upperclassmen in high school.【答案】1.A2.A3.C4.A【分析】这是一篇说明文。

cleaner(真空吸尘器).Using his wife's vacuum cleaner he was able to reverse(使倒转)the motor so that it blew instead of sucking.The air that blew out beneath(下面)acted as a cushion against surfaces.Years later,his principle of cushioned air made it possible for the first hovercraft(气垫船)to be successfully built and tried out.A journey along the Amazon River proved to the world that the hovercraft was
