专升本英语阅读理解训练20篇
专升本英语阅读理解训练20篇(1-10)专升本英语阅读训练(001)You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls tool1. Stuntmen are those who ______.A. often dress up as actorsB. prefer to lead dangerous livesC. often perform seemingly dangerous actionsD. often fight each other for their lives2. Stuntmen earn their living by ______.A. playing their dirty tricksB. selling their special skillsC.jumping out of high windowsD. jumping from fast moving trains3. When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______.A.he needs little protectionB. he will be covered with a mattressC.his life is endangeredD. his safety is generally all right4. Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance?A. Strength.B. Exactness.C. Speed.D. Carefulness.5. What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntman?A.Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.B.The percentage of serious accidents is high.C.Parachutes must be of good quality.D. The cliff is too high.KEY: 1- 5 CBDBA专升本英语阅读训练(002)activity which was almost unknown to the learned in the early days of the history, while during the fifteenth century the term "reading" undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become popular.One should be careful, however, of supposing that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is distraction (分散注意力) to others. Examination of reasonsconnected with the historical development of silent reading shows that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.The last century saw a gradual increase in literacy (读写能力) and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of listeners dropped, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the popularity of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, trains and offices, where reading aloud would disturb other readers in a way. Towards the end of the century there was still heated argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its advantages, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media (媒介) on the one hand and by books and magazines for a specialized readership on the other.By the end of the century students were being advised to have some new ideas of books and to use skills in reading them which were not proper, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological developments in the century had greatly changed what the term "reading" referred to.1. Why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth century?A. Because silent reading had not been discovered.B. Because there were few places for private reading.C. Because few people could read for themselves.D. Because people depended on reading for enjoyment.2. The development of silent reading during the nineteenth century showed .A. a change in the position of literate peopleB. a change in the nature of readingC. an increase in the number of booksD. an increase in the average age of readers3. Educationalists are still arguing about _________.A. the importance of silent readingB. the amount of information provided by books and newspapersC. the effects of reading on healthD. the value of different types of reading material4. What is the writer of this passage attempting to do?A. To explain how present day reading habits developed.B. To change people's way to read.C. To show how reading methods have improved.D. To encourage the growth of reading.KEY: 1-4 CBDA专升本英语阅读训练(003)In some ways, the United States has made some progress. Fires no longer destroy 18,000 buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, or kill half a town of 2,400 people, as they did the same night in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. Other than the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire in Kentucky in 1977, it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire.But even with such successes, the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology, but the indifference(无所谓) of a country that just will not take fires seriously enough.American fire departments are some of the world's fastest and best-equipped. They have to be. The United States has twice Japan's population, and 40 times as many fires. It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them. And American fire -safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at children, who die in large numbers in fires but who, against popular beliefs, start very few of them.Experts say the error is an opinion that fires are not really anyone's fault. That is not so in other countries, where both public education and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime(罪行). Japan has many wood houses; of the 48 fires in world history that burned more than 10,000 buildings, Japan has had 27. Punishment for causing a big fire can be as severe as life imprisonment.In the United States, most education dollars are spent in elementary schools. But, the lessons are aimed at too limited a number of people; just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with matches.The United States continues to depend more on technology than laws or social pressure. There are smoke detectors in 85 percent of all homes. Some local building laws now require home sprinklers (喷水装置). New heaters and irons shut themselves off if they are tipped.1. The reason why so many Americans die in fires is that _____.A. they took no interest in new technologyB. they did not pay great attention to preventing firesC. they showed indifference to fighting firesD. they did not spend enough money on fire equipment2. It can be inferred from the passage that______.A. fire safety lessons should not be aimed only at American childrenB. American children have not received enough education of fire safety lessonsC. Japan is better equipped with fire equipment than the United StatesD. America's large population leads to more fires3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. There has been no great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that leads to high death rate.B. There have been several great fires in the USA in recent 40 years that lead to high death rate.C. There has been only one great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that led to high death rate.D. The fire in Kentucky in 1977 made only a few people killed.KEY: BAC专升本英语阅读训练(004)Nuclear power's(核能的) danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be described in one word; radiation(辐射).Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected (探测) by human senses. It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells (细胞) in important organs (器官). But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells withhealthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred.A person can be irradiated(放射治疗) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.1. According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in __________.A. nuclear mysteryB. radiation detectionC. radiation levelD. nuclear radiation2. Radiation can lead to serious results even at the lowest level ________.A. when it kills few cellsB. if it damages few cellsC. though the damaged cells can repair themselvesD. unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves3. Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can _____.A. kill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediatelyB. damage cells which may grow into cancer years laterC. affect the healthy growth of our younger generationD. lead to all of the above results4. Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?A. The importance of protection from radiation cannot be overemphasized (过分强调).B. The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.C. Cancer is mainly caused by radiation.D. Radiation can hurt those who do not know about its danger.KEY: 1- 4 DBDA专升本英语阅读训练(005)Today is the date of that afternoon in April a year ago when I first saw the strange and attractive doll(玩具娃娃)in the window of Abe Sheftel's toy shop on Third Avenue near Fifteenth Street, just around the corner from my office, where the plate on the door reads. Dr Samuel Amory. I remember just how it was that day: the first sign of spring floated across the East River, mixing with the soft - coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighbourhood. As I turned the corner on my way to work and came to Sheftel's, I was made once more known of the poor collection of toys in the dusty window, and I remembered the coming birthday of a small niece of mine in Cleveland, to whom I was in the habit of sending small gifts. Therefore, I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything suitable, and looked at the collection of unattractive objects--a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellowed envelopes, and advertisements for soft - drinks. And thus it was that my eyes finally came to rest upon the doll stored away in one corner, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, due to the shadows and the film of dust through which I was looking, but I was sure that a deep impression had been made upon me as though I had run into a person, as one does sometimes with a stranger, with whose personality one is deeply impressed.1. What made an impression on the author?A. The doll's unusual face.B. The collection of toys.C. A stranger he met at the store.D. The beauty and size of the doll.2. Why does the author mention his niece?A. She likes dolls.B. The doll looks like her.C. She lives near Sheftel's.D. He was looking for a gift for her.3. Why did the writer go past Sheftel's?A. He was on his way to school.B. He was looking for a present for his niece.C. He wanted to buy some envelopes.D. None of the above is right.4. The story takes place in the ______.A. early summerB. early springC. midsummerD. late springKEY: 1-5 ADDB专升本英语阅读训练(006)Technology is the application (应用)of knowledge to production. Thanks to modern technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force. New machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expense while increasing overall output. This has meant more production and a higher standard of living. For mostof us in America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets. However, technology has also increased the amount of food available (有用的)to us, by means of modern farming machinery and animalbreeding techniques, and has extended our life span via()medical technology.Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? In large measure the answer depends on technology and our ability to use it widely. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The advancement of technology depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics (统计) show that the united States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually(每年) into such efforts. So while we are running out of some scarce resources (少的资源) we may well find technological substitutes (代用品) for many of them through our research programs.Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of production (land, labor and capital) are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills on techniques in medicine, people will start developing new technology to meet those needs. As equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us maintain our standard of living.1. What is the best title for the passage?A. The definition of technologyB. Modern technologyC. The application of technologyD. The development of technology2.

Maybe you have seen pictures of these“fireworks”of nature. Sometimes when a volcano erupts, a very large wall of melted rock moves down the side of a mountain. It look s like a “river of tire.”Sometimes volcanoes explode, throwing the melted rock and ashes(灰)high into the air. But where does this melted rock come from?The earth is made up of many layers(层). The top layer that we see is called the crust. Under the crust are many layers of hard rock. But far, far beneath the crust whose rock is so hot, that it is soft. In some places it even melts. The melted rock is called magma.Sometimes the magma breaks out to the surface through cracks(爆裂声)in the crust. These cracks are volcanoes.Most people think of mountains when they think of volcanoes. But not every mountain is a volcano. A volcano is simply the opening in the earth from which the magma escapes. The hot magma, or lava as it is called, cols and builds up on the surface of the earth. Over thousands of years, this pile of cooled lava can grow to be very, very big. For example, the highest mountain in Africa, Kilimanjaro, is a volcano. It towers more than 16,000 feet above the ground around it.1.The underlined word“erupts”means .A. moves downB. breaks awayC. builds upD. suddenly throws out lava2.Which words in the passage have the same meaning as “melted rock”?A.“Volcano”and“explode”.B.“Crust”and“hard rock”C.“magma”and“lava”D.“Volcano”and“magma”3.Which is the correct order of the layers of the earth(beginning with the top layer)?A. crust-hard rock-magma-soft rockB. crust-hard rock- soft rock-magmaC. magma-soft rock- hard rock-crustD. volcano-cracks-magma-crust4.The best title(标题) of the passage should be u.A.

Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,”says Crystal Johnstone. She had an acci dent in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue.Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near——but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.1.How do you understand‘Point 1 —The telephone creates the need to communicate,6…’?A. People don’t communicate without telephone.B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.D. People communicate more because of more traffic.2.Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?A. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people.C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.D. Mobile phones are part of people’s life.3.

The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take alet-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students—“so passive”—and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’ s passivity. “We’ re talking about a generation of kids who’ ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying ‘go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’ s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It’ s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it’ s for their own good. It’s s time to start telling them no again.1.Children are becoming more inactive in study because .A. they watch TV too oftenB. they have done too much homeworkC. they have to fulfil too many dutiesD. teachers are too strict with them2.We learn from the passage that the author’s mother used to la y emphasis on .A. learning LatinB. disciplineC. natural developmentD. education at school3.By“permissive period in education”(L.1,Para.2)the author means a time .A. when children are allowed to do what they wish toB. when everything can be taught at schoolC. when every child can be educatedD. when children are permitted to receive education4. The main idea of the passage is that .A. parents should leave their children aloneB. kids should have more activities at schoolC. it’s time to be more strict with our kidsD. parents should always set a good example to their kidsKEY: 1- 4ABAC专升本英语阅读理解训练20篇(11-20)|专升本英语阅读训练(011)The greatest recent changes have ,been in the lives of women ,During the twentieth century there was an unusual s hortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties ,and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old ,By the time the youngest was fifteen ,the mother would have been id her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years ,during which custom ,chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work, Today women marry younger and have fewer children Usually a woman ‘s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances (家用电器)and convenience foods.This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’ s economic position Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job However ,when they married ,they usually left work at once and never returned to it ,Today the school-leaving age is sixteen ,many girls stay at school after that age ,and though women tend to marryyounger ,more married women stay at work at leas until shortly before their first child is born Very many more after wads ,return to full or part-time work Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage ,with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more e-qually in providing the money and running the home ,according to the abilities and inter-est of each them.1.According to the passage ,around the year1990 most women marriedA.at about twenty-fiveB.In their early fiftiesC.as soon as possible after they were fifteenD.at any age from fifteen to forty-five2.We are told that in an average family about1990 .A.many children died before they were fiveB.the youngest child would be fifteenC.seven of eight children lived to be more than fiveD.four of five children died when they were five.3.When she was over fifty ,the late 19th century mother .A.would expect to work until she diedB.was usually expected to take up paid employmentC.would he healthy enough to take up paid employment.D.was unlikely to find a job even if she now likely.4.Many girls ,the passage says ,are now likely to .A.marry so that they can get a jobB.Leave school as soon as they can。
专升本英语阅读理解练习(带答案)
(⼀一)Many post-80s couples are complaining that going to the movies, shopping or attending parties have become impossible since their kids were born. That' s the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs. Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents are not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents. Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parents can have some quiet time and feel free to do something they' ve been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won' t be hanging around their parents all day long.This is baby-pooling. 1. Many post-80s couples can't go to the movies, shop or attend parties because( ) . A .they have to look after their kids B. they have to look after their parentsC. they are busy with their workD. they have no money 2.

All of the above. 5. The passage mainly discusses ( ).A. post-80s couples and their friendsB. post-80s couples and baby-poolingC. post-80s couples and their parentsD. kids and their grandparents(⼆二)A wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories. The older he grew,the fonder he became of them. But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give half his wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome youngman came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed. “The risk is worth the head of your fair daughter,” the young man replied poetically(得体地). He then began this well-known story:“Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole in the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and …”“Stop,” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answered the young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain of the corn.” “But that will go on for ever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly,” the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.1. The Prince always felt regretted about story because _________.A. he had too much wealthB. there was terrible famineC. all stories have endsD. there was no story-teller2. The young man risked to tell an endless story to the Prince for _________.A. a great sum of moneyB. the prince’s beautiful daughterC. showing his braveryD. Both A and C3. The young man would be sent to prison _________ if he failed to tell a story without an end.A. foreverB. for some timeC. for a whileD. for a year4.In order to prevent famine, the King asked to build _________.A. a huge storehouseB. a large farmC. a beautiful palaceD. a waterproof kitchen5. The thing the king noticed first in the roof was _________.A. a loafB. a small holeC. a grain of cornD. a locust(三)The way people hold to the belief that a fun - filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (预担的义务), self - improvement.Ask a bachelor(单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.1.According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ________ .A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesB. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC. he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement2.Raising children, in the author’s opinion is ________ .A. a moral dutyB. a thankless jobC. a rewarding taskD. a source of inevitable pain3.From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from ________ .A. hatred B. misunderstandingC. prejudice D. Ignorance4.To understand what true happiness is one must ________ .A. have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetimeB. make every effort to liberate oneself from painC. put up with pain under all circumstancesD. be able to distinguish happiness from fun5.What is the author trying to tell us?A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.B. One must know how to attain happiness.C. It is important to make commitments.D. It is pain that leads to happiness.(四)How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets. Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child — things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains:He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. If, however, he works hard,goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society. Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, fell the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reacheda time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others. 1. The happiest people should be those who ______.A. Face up to difficulties in lifeB. Hope to be young againC. Enjoy life in different ageD. Wish to be grown up 2. The word “they”underlined in Line 5, para. 2 refers to ____.A. Older peopleB. New thingsC. ChildrenD. Interests 3. A child has his pains because____. A. He can not do whatever he wants to B. He is not allowed to play in rain C. He has a lot of new things to learn D. He can not play at the seaside freely 4. When a child becomes a grown-up, he is supposed to ____.A.live comfortablyB. Take responsibilitiesC. Make progress in jobD. Impress the society 5. The best title of the passage might be ____.A. Pains and AgesB. Differences in AgesC. The Best Age to BeD. Happiness and Ages(五)"Trend-benders"(反潮族) are people who try to bring old styles back to life, and they encourage people to make some changes in their lifestyles. Trend-benders ride their bikes to work even though they can afford cars, and they write letters instead of e-mail and read paper books instead of e-books. Some trend-benders want to raise awareness about their passion and encourage others to act in the same way. For them, "bend the trend" is a social movement that invites everyone to make a lifestyle change.

These platforms allow students to access a vast array of educational resources from anywhere in the world.

Teachers can now utilize multimedia presentations, virtual reality, and other interactive technologies to make learning more engaging and interactive. This can lead to increased student engagement and better learning outcomes.However, technology also poses some challenges. One such challenge is the digital divide, where not all students have equal access to technology.

To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In 1 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 2 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 3 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 4 at an early age, and never get over them.Taken individually, words have 6 meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. 7 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 8 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 9 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 10 down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as 11 reads. To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 12 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 13 the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 14 word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible.

专升本英语阅读理解专项强化真题试卷5(题后含答案及解析)题型有:1.For generations, the Nganyi people of western Kenya have served as rainmakers, helping local communities decide when best to prepare their land and sow their seeds. By observing subtle changes in nature that would be unnoticeable to most people—in air currents, the flowering and shedding of leaves of certain trees, the behaviour of ants, bird songs, etc—they have been able to interpret weather patterns and provide valuable advice. But the irregular weather patterns brought by climate change mean the rainmakers can no longer use those signs to make their predictions. And they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologists(气象学家). “Climate change has come on so fast. People don’t know how to adapt or what to plant,”says Obedi Osore,a traditional Nganyi weatherman. “Our traditional crops are disappearing because they cannot handle the new conditions. We need new strategies to handle climate change. Now a British-Canadian project is doing just that, linking the rainmakers with government meteorologists. The two groups get together each season and produce an agreed forecast to be spread using a variety of methods suited to communities where many cannot read or write—through ceremonies, public meetings and person-to-person communication. Both parties are pleased with the collaboration. “1 think the two sciences are equally valid. We are marrying our energies to help people better,” says Mr. Onunga, a Nganyi community elder involved in the project. “The results have been surprisingly good—the community agreed that the forecast was accurate,” says Gilbert Ouma,a lecturer at the University of Nairobi. “Through this project we hope to learn what it is that we can share together to live today and to adapt to tomorrow,” says Professor Laban Ogallo,leader of the Nganyi project.1.Which of the following has been used by traditional Nganyi rainmakers in weather prediction?A.Plant seeds.B.Dog barks.C.Bird songs.D.Ocean currents.正确答案:C解析:由第一段最后一句“…the behaviour of ants.bird songs…”可知,C 项符合题意,故选C。

山西省普通专升本选拔考试英语阅读理解综合练习题阅读理解51篇
山西省普通专升本选拔考试英语阅读理解综合练习题Passage 1Sometimes there are questions in our minds which we would like to ask people,but we are too shy or embarrassed(为难的) At other times we feel it is wrong to trouble others with our problems,or are prevented from asking by our fear of being criticised.Often there need be no such fear because other people have undergone(经历)the same questionings,do us or worries as ourselves,and many adults or teenage friends are only too pleased to share their knowledge or experience with us.Indeed,in many cases they also learn something,and much unnecessary worry is prevented.You may use this Question Time to ask anything about life that you don't understand,or any question of a personal or general nature that has either troubled you for some time or arisen recently.In order to protect your feelings,which you may not want exposed,write the question down (in capitals if you wish) on a slip of paper without your name on it.Then fold the paper and hand it to your teacher who will sort the questions out at home before the lesson takes place.He will respect the fact that the questions are asked in confidence(秘密地);they should,however,be sensible and honest ones.During the lesson the teacher will read out a question,and then call upon one ort wo volunteers from the class to offer their opinions before giving his own.The class should regard both questions and answers and the discussion that arises from them as confidential to avoid breaking the trust the questioner has placed in the lesson,and to make possible further discussion of similar problems on another occasion.It is also helpful to remember that the answers givenrepresent only one or two points of view—someone else might answer them quite differently.1.Sometimes we have questions,but we would not like to ask people because____A.we are not sure about our questionsB.we are afraid of being criticisedC.we are afraid of being in difficultyD.we only believe in ourselves2.The author suggests that in order not to be known,you should _______A.try to avoid asking questionsB.give the question paper without the name on it to your teacherC.discuss the questions with your groupD.sort the questions out at home and then tell them to your teacher3.The author tells us that _______A.in class we should value the speakers' questions or answers to show our trustB.in public we may learn something to avoid unnecessary worryC.It's better to write your questions down than to ask them orallyD.only those who ask questions in confidence are sensible and honestPassage 2The World Health Germanization says the number of SARS(非典型性肺炎)cases worlide has reached 2,960.Though half of the affected patients have recovered,new cases are still being reported and the cause of the disease has still not been pinpointed.The Chinese mainland,HongKong and Taiwan are all among the 23 countries and regions trying to cope with the epidemic(传染病South China's Guangdong Province is one of the areas hardest hit by SARS.It's also where the first case of the disease was reported.Observers say the situation in Guangdong has steadily improved with a sharp downturn in the number of affected patients.So far,over 83 percent of thepatients have recovered and been released from hospital.“First of all,we need to understand that SARS is an epidemic and the human immunity(免疫性) to the disease is therefore weak.But,from what we have experienced and observed,there is no reason to panic.The disease's infectiousness(传染性)is being weakened as it passes from one group to another.”said hong Nanshan,director of Guangdong Team for SARS Prevention and Treatment.The director says the key to fighting the disease now lies in finding the cause and developing a vaccine(疫苗).This calls for concerted cooperation within the international medical community.So far,the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong have been working well together.The SARS situation in Taiwan offers a more reassuring picture.So far a little over 20 people have been affected,with no deaths reported.Taiwan medical experts say this is in part due to effective quarantine(隔离) of suspected patients.But mainland cooperation with the island has so“We have cooperated with the US Center for Disease Control and the Hong Kong Health Department.Recently Taiwan officials have been to Hong Kong to learn from the region's experience.After all,Hong Kong is now the epicenter(中心) of SARS and has developed some effective ways to diagnose(诊断) the disease.”said hang Cangneng from Taiwan Xinguang Hospital.Experts from the mainland and Taiwan are pushing for greater cooperation(合作) in the field.A joint seminar by all three sides will be held later this month.Questions relating to the virus's profile and the cause will be discussed at length to shed light on the remaining questions about the disease.1The passage mainly tells us ___________A.SARS is a disease which can not be controlledB.Chinese mainland,Hong Kong and Taiwan will cooperate so as to deal with SARSC.Chinese mainland,Hong Kong and Taiwan are the areas hardest hit by SARSD.how to prevent and treat SARS2.

How many persons are exactly mentioned in the text?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.Passage 4Jonathan James looks like just another kid about to graduate from high school.But this 19yearold Swede is anything but ordinary,from the computer in his parents' home he helps the US Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI) find out the world's most wanted cyber criminals(网络犯罪分子).Jonathan first made headlines when he and another Swede,Fredrik Bjoerck,found out the maker of the“Melissa” virus(病毒)in March 1999.He came to the aid of the FBI again on May 7,finding out the suspected(嫌疑的) sender of the dangerous I LOVE YOU” virus.The suspect was caught in Manila on May 8.Jonathan's special skills are in hot demand as officials around the world express alarm at the“virtual”crime wave.In between studying for final exams,hanging out with friends and refereeing his younger brother's football matches,the quiet,gentle teenager also gives lessons on security (电子安全)to large companies.He reads a lot and exchanges information with other computer experts to know much about the latest tricks of the hacker (黑客)trade.Many companies have already tried to employ him,but he is not interested at the moment.Instead,he plans to begin law school in the autumn at Sweden's Uppsala University and start up his own e-security company.Although he works with the FBI now,his family insists he's just“a regular kid.“Jonathan is a great kid,he has his friends and he does a lot more than just play with the computer,”his little sister Tessa said,adding that he helps the FBI because “he likes to help”,not because he's looking for fame and recognition.When the world was hit by the “Love Bug”virus,Jonathan was too busy preparing a speech on e-security to look into the problem“Finally on May 7,I had some free time,so I began looking.”Within a few hours,he had found the suspect and emailed his method and results to the FBI.He said his work on the “Melissa”virus,which took three weeks to solve,was a big help in finding the suspect so quickly“This time I knew exactly where to start,I knew what to disregard1. The passage mainly wants to tell us that ————A.Swedish kid helps FBI find out the most wanted cyber criminalsB.Jonathan is really a quiet,gentle and ordinary boyC.many companies want the young computer expert to join inD.any cyber criminals will surely be found out wherever they are2. The public started to know something about Jonathan just from ————B.his work together with Fredrik Bjoerck to find out the maker of the “Melissa”virusC.his little sister's talk about his good qualities as a regular kid and a good programmer3 From Jonathan's success in finding out the sender of the dangerous“I LOVE YOU”virus we caninfer that——————--A.where there's a will,there's a wayB.experience is knowledgeC.hard work leads to successD.failure is the mother of success4. What do we know about Jonathan?A.He is a good fame hunter with various abilities.B.He is such a brave fighter that any criminal will feel afraid.C.He is an expert on security,not interested in running a company.D.He is a regular kid but does something unusual.Passage 5Former US Vice President Al Gore,who came close to winning the presidency two years ago,said he will not run in 2004,and probably will not have another opportunity to seek the White House.Though Gore would have been a frightening Democratic(民主党的) main runner,his decision to give up the 2004 race probably helped his party's chances in the general election against President George W.Bush,Democrats said.Many did not want to see BushGore Ⅱ.“The last campaign was an extremely difficult one,” Gore told CBS TV show “60 Minutes”on Sunday.While saying he still had the energy and drive to run again,Gore recognied,“There are a lot of people within the Democratic Party who felt exhausted(by the 2000 race)…who felt like,OK,‘I don't want to go through that again.’And I'm frankly sensitive to that feeling.”In nearly two doen interviews after Gore announced his plans,Democrats dutifully claimed their party had lost a top candidate,but one after another,they praised Gore for taking an early exit from a primary race he could have won,sparing them a repeat.Gore,54,said he was making his decision“in the full understanding that it probably means that I will never have another oppor tunity to run for president.”Party activists(激进主义分子)blamed Gore for losing despite a booming economy and eight years of a Democratic administration.Gore even lost his home state of Tennessee,a victory there would have given him the White House.1.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?A.Gore Was CriticizedB.Gore Decides Not to Fight Bush in 2004C.Former US Vice President Al GoreD.Al Gore and Gorge Bush2. Why do you think Gore has decides not to run in 2004 according to this passage?A.Because he is quite old.B.Because many people are against him.C.Because he quite understands the feelings of a lot of Democratic members.D.Because he doesn't want to be President of US.3.What was Gore's feeling when he made his decision?A.Delight.B.Sad.C.Regretful.D.Calm.Priscilla—her engineer husband married a few years ago,they built a $ 100,000,three-bedroom home in California.Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks,the house was equipped with small doublepaned(双层玻璃) windows and several other energy saving features.Problems began as soon as the couple moved in,however.Priscilla's eyes burned.Her throat was constantly dry.She suffered from headaches and could hardly sleep.It was as though she had suddenly developed a strange illness.Experts finally traced the cause of her illness.The level of formaldehyde(甲醛) gas in her kitchen was twice the maximum allowed by federal standards for chemical workers.The source of the gas? Her new kitchen cabinets and wall to wall carpeting.The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution,which is not given sufficient attention partly because of the nation's drive to save energy.The problem itself isn't new.“The indoor environment was dirty long before energy conservation came along,”says Moschandreas,a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies in Maryland.“Energy conservation has tended to accentuate the situation in someThe problem appears to be more troublesome in newly constructed homes rather than old ones.Back in the days when energy was cheap,home builders didn't worry much about unsealed cracks.Because of such leaks,the air in an average home was repaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour.As a result,the pollutants generated in most households seldom built up to dangerous levels.1. It can be learned from the passage that the Ouchidas' house——A.is well worth the money spent on its constructionB.is almost faultless form the point of energy conservationC.failed to meet energy conservation standardsD.was designed and constructed in a scientific way2. What make the Ouchidas' new house a horrible dream?ck of fresh air.B.Poor quality of building materials.C.Gas leakage in the kitchen.D.The newly painted walls.3.

The main idea of this passage is that ————A.the young man once went into town and bought himself a pair of trousersB.the young man's new trousers were cut too shortC.the young man's mother and sisters hated to speak to each otherD.the young man was loved by his mother and sisters very much2.

They'll pay THREE times the normal rate。
英语专升本完型练习题
英语专升本完型练习题文章In life, there are many obstacles that we encounter. Some people give up easily when faced with difficulties, while others persist until they achieve their goals. This article will discuss the power of persistence and how it can lead to success.The first step to understanding the power of persistence is to recognize that every success story involves a period of struggle. There are no shortcuts to success; it is only through hard work and determination that one can achieve their dreams. Take, for example, Thomas Edison, who is known for his invention of the light bulb. It took him more than 1,000 attempts before he finally succeeded. His persistence paid off, and now we enjoy the benefits of his invention.Another important aspect of persistence is the ability to learn from failure. When we fail, it is not the end of the world; rather, it is an opportunity to learn and improve. Failure is a stepping stone to success, and those who can learn from their mistakes are more likely to succeed in the long run.Moreover, persistence also involves the ability to stay focused on one's goals. It is easy to get distracted by the many distractions in life, but those who can maintain their focus are more likely to reach their destination. Thisrequires discipline and the ability to prioritize tasks effectively.Finally, persistence is about having a positive attitude. A positive mindset can help one overcome the challenges that come their way. It is important to believe in oneself and to have faith that success is possible.In conclusion, the power of persistence is immense. It is a key factor in achieving success and should not be underestimated. Whether you are a student, a professional, or an entrepreneur, adopting a persistent attitude can lead to great achievements.问题:1. What is the main topic of the article?2.

He lost his donkey and he wanted to go to town to buy another. Among the donkeys on sale he saw his own donkey.“This donkey is mine”, he said to the man standing by the donkey. “Someone stole it from me three years ago.”“How is that?” the man said. “It has been mine for three years.”“Three years?” the farmer said, “Are you sure?” Then he quickly covered the eyes of the donkey with his hands and asked, “Which eye is it blind in?”“The right eye,” said the man.The farmer took away his right hand and people saw the donkey’s right eye was clear and shining.“I made a mistake,” said the man “I meant to say the left eye.”“It is not blind in either eye,” said the farmer.

The old farmer ________ his own donkey back.A. boughtB. gotC. borrowedD. looked forPassage TwoToday the official language of the United States and most of Canada is English. However, French almost became the official language because of a war.The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. The name of this war is not accurate because the war was actually between England and France. The Indians fought on the side of the French.France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France triedto expand its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia. When the French built a fort on the Ohio River, the residents in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1754. However, the French defeated Washington.The French, aided by the Indians, outsmarted the English and won many early battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec, Canada, General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from France. Both generals died in this battle, but the English outlasted the French and won the battle. Thus, most of North America today has the English culture and language.46. A good title for this selection is _______.A. The French and Indian WarB. The English LanguageC. Washington’s ArmyD. Official language47. The word gain in line6 means _______.A. borrowB. getC. buyD. lose48. We may conclude that George Washington preferred the _______.A. CanadaB. FrenchC. IndiansD. English49.

Washington lost his battle at the fort on the Ohio River _______.A. at the beginning of the warB. in the middle of the warC. at the end of the warD. during the warPassage TwoDuring the 19th century, it was common to hear people in Europe and America say that the resources of the sea were unlimited. For example, a noted biologist writing in the mid 19th century commented that none of the great sea fisheries are to be exhausted. Today though, there is evidence that the resources of the sea are as seriously endangered as those of the land and the air, and that the endangered species include Herring and Carp as well as the African Elephant, Indian Tiger, and the American Eagle.Further, the threats to fish are more alarming in some ways than the threats to animals and birds.This is because fish are a much needed food resource and people throughout the world depend on fish as an important part of their dish, and the decline in the fish supply could have extensive effects on hunger and population. Fisherman in the North Atlantic alone annually harvest 20 billion pounds of fish to satisfy food demands, but it is important to recognize that these practices cannot continue without depleting fish storage within the next few years. Sea resources are rapidly declining in many parts of world, and the problem cannot be ignored.We can predict that food supplies in the sea cannot last forever.51. According to the speaker, what was the attitude in the 19th century toward resources of the sea?A. DeclinedB. DepletedC. LimitedD. Unlimited52. What is the range of the decline in fish supply?A. Europe and Asia.B. The whole world.C. Asia and America.D. America.53. What purpose does the author mention the endangered species for?A. Environment protectionB. Important species for conservation.C. The protection of Indian TigersD. Not mentioned.54. What does the author believe about sea resources?A. Sea resources can last foreverB. None of the great sea fisheries are to be exhaustedC. Fish supply has no effects on people.D. Sea resources are important to people.55. Which of the following best describes the purpose of the lecture?A. Unlimited Sea Resources.B. Threats to Animals and Birds.C. Sea Resources on the Decline.D. Protection of Fish.Passage ThreeIn the U.S., people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing times for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.Se rvings in restaurants are often large, too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a“doggie bag”. It may hav e a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you are taking food for yourself.Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have“Sunday dinner”.This is an especially big noon meal.Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either.A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. There the waiter or waitress brings you your change.56. Which of the following statements is true?A.

ASea level is rising around the world, so there is more salt in fresh water on the farms near the sea. As a result farmers are not able to use fields close to the sea.But a farmer in the Netherlands is now using a mixture of sea and fresh water to grow healthy and delicious vegetables. Marc Van Rijsselberghe started with an experiment. He put several kinds of plants in the mixture. He worked on the project with scientists from the Free University of Amsterdam. He cut a farm into eight areas. Then he watered them with different mixtures of fresh water and sea water, and a computer program created water with eight levels of the mixture.Rijsselberghe says he was able to harvest vegetables from most of the eight test areas. He says the vegetables were smaller than those grown in fresh water. But he says they also have more sugar and salt, so they taste better.The farmer grew carrots, cabbage, onions and beetroot. But he found that potatoes grew better than the other vegetables in the mixture of sea and fresh water. Rijsselberghe says four kinds of these potatoes were sent to Pakistan. Farmers in Pakistan will test the potatoes to see if they can be grown in those fields.does Marc Van Rijsselberghe dofarmer in Pakistan. farmer in the Netherlands.computer programmer in the Netherlands. scientist from the Free University of Amsterdam.vegetables grow best in the mixture of sea and fresh water. . . .is not mentioned about the vegetables grown in the mixtureare more expensive. have more sugar and salt.taste better than those grown in fresh water. are smaller than those grown in fresh water.'s the best title for this passagelevel is rising around the world better vegetablesvegetables with sea water special mixture of sea and fresh waterBDisney's theme park,its first on the Chinese mainland,Shanghai Disneyland,has already been completed, and opened its doors on June 16,2016."Six is a lucky number to Chinese people, "the Walt Disney Company said.Shanghai Disneyland hosted an opening celebration to welcome its first guests.
