A lot of us lose life's tough battles by starting a frontal attack--when a touch of humor might well enable us to win.

(英语)高考英语阅读理解试题经典及解析

（英语）高考英语阅读理解试题经典及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解The new garbage sorting regulation has taken effect in Shanghai starting July 1. Many citizens are still confused about the classification of the four different types of trash. Thankfully, authorities have released an official guideline to explain the new rules.The guideline, published by the Shanghai Greenery and Public Sanitation Bureau, provides a rather clear definition on the four kinds if waste: recyclable waste, harmful waste, household food waste and residual (剩余) waste.A team from the U. K.'s National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine examined 14 lean and overweight men and analyzed their metabolic (新陈代谢) health. The participants were either assignedHarmful waste, as the name suggests, includes various poisonous materials like used batteries, light bulbs, out-of-date medicines, paint and pesticides.Household food waste —which is translated to "wet trash" in Chinese —refers to food leftovers, rotten food, pet food, fruit peels, remains of TCM herbs (中药) and flowers.Paper, plastic, glass, metal and textiles (纺织品) are counted as recyclable waste.The definition of residual waste is a little confusing. Anything that is not listed above belongs to this category.As specific as the new guideline is, residents still have a hard time sorting trash correctly and are finding it challenging to memorize them all. For instance, both plastic bottles and bubble tea or coffee cups are plastic materials. However, the former falls to the category of recyclable waste and the latter belongs to residual waste. To save the hassle, some netizens have come up with their own way to sort trash."We should do this from a pig's angle," commented one netizen. "Those edible (可食用) for pigs are household food waste. Those even pigs don't want to eat are residual waste. If a pig consumes something and dies of it, then something must be harmful waste. Those that can be sold and the money we gain can be used to purchase pigs are recyclable waste."The new regulation came into effect on July 1. Those who do not sort their trash properly will be fined RMB200.（1）What do the old coats that you want to throw away belong to?A.Harmful waste.B.Wet trash.C.Recyclable waste.D.Residual waste（2）What is the common point of "wet trash"?A.They can be broken down easily.B.They all come from plants.C.They all have bad smells.D.They all have poisonous materials.（3）What is the tone of the netizen like?A.Serious.B.Humorous.C.Delightful.D.Uncertain.（4）What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The four sorts of garbing are forbidden in Shanghai.B.Shanghai garbage sorting enforcement begins.C.people are still confused about garbage sorting.D.The netizens in Shanghai support the garbage sorting policy.【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）B（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了上海垃圾分类政策的规范，包括有害垃圾、可回收垃圾、湿垃圾等的分类规范。

高考英语阅读理解(人生百味)专项训练及答案含解析

高考英语阅读理解(人生百味)专项训练及答案含解析一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1．阅读理解Experts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease and stroke. So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile!Dr. Chockalingam, a heart disease specialist in Columbia, advises his patients to smile. He says a smile may be one way to help your heart. "When we smile, the brain wiring changes. The chemicals that are released are more positive." He says smiling is the first step in fighting physical and emotional stress and its sometimes harmful effects on human health. This is not just New Age advice. Several studies support his opinion.When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones (荷尔蒙) including adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline increases your heart rate and blood pressure. Cortisol is the body's main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fight-or-flight response. However, when we are stressed for a long period, these stress hormones are ever-present in our bodies. And that, medical researchers warn, may lead to health problems.Researchers say the connection between stress and heart disease is still unclear. However, they claim that when people are stressed for long periods of time, they may have an unhealthy lifestyle, which can lead to health problems.Dr. Chockalingam says a smile may be one way to help. He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish ... smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs. It is not invasive like a surgical operation. It is free and it has no bad side effects."Once people smile, they are relaxing. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health." And it just may provide a little extra protection to everyone's heart health.（1）Which of the following agrees with Dr. Chockalingam's opinion?A.Smile has the same effects as laughter.B.Smile can be used to take the place of medicine.C.Smile is better than any healthy lifestyle to health.D.Smile can make our body produce beneficial chemicals.（2）What can we know about the mentioned stress hormones?A.They can lower our blood pressure.B.They will surely lead to heart diseases.C.They can benefit us when we are in danger.D.They will make us live an unhealthy lifestyle.（3）Why does Dr. Chockalingam think smiling is helpful to our health?A.It can make us relax.B.It increases sugar levels.C.It has little bad side effects.D.It can happen for no reason.（4）What can be the best title for the text?A.A Thorough Analysis of the Causes of Heart DiseasesB.One Thing You Can Do Right Now to Help Your HeartC.One Thing That Is Closely Connected with Stress HormonesD.The Clear Connection Between Unhealthy Lifestyles and Heart Diseases【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，哥伦比亚的心脏病专家Chockalingam博士建议多保持微笑，他认为微笑可能是帮助心脏的一种方式。

Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn pr oduced influence on consumers’ desire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns. Two thirds of customers say that environmental consideration s inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a yea r ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even b etter aware of the environmental effect on what they buy. This may help to influence how shops store goods on their sh elves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible compani es, with about one in seven saying that they had even decide d to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s envir onmental reputation was not good enough.Harry Morrison, chief executive（主管）of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes：“I understand this situation where survival is very important no w. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an i mmediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducin g their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require bu sinesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissi ons（排放）. Those that have taken early action will have a head star t. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about whic h companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests t hat firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the pu blic will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing custo mers about the good work companies are doing. “When comp anies are granted（授予）the standard, they can use a logo （标识）in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are workin g towards cutting emissions,” Mr. Morrison said.( ) 1. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.B. Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.C. Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep g oods at home.D. Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers’ envi ronmental awareness.( ) 2. The underlined word “inform” in Paragraph 2 probably means“”.A. affectB. changeC. disturbD. reject( ) 3. According to Harry Morrison, businesses .A. will benefit from cutting carbon emissionsB. should buy carbon allowances for shoppersC. are required to make up for their carbon emissionsD. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere ( ) 4.

Teamwork is just as important in science as it is on the playing field or in the gym. Scientific investigations(调查) are almost always carried out by teams of people working together. Ideas are shared, experiments are designed, data are analyzed, and results are evaluated and shared with other investigators. Group work is necessary, and is usually more productive than working alone.Several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates. Whatever the task your group is assigned, a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience.What comes first is to keep an open mind, because everyone's ideas deserve consideration and each group member can make his or her own contribution. Secondly, it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members. Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths. Thirdly, always work together, take turns, and encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting one another. Mutual support and trust often make a great difference.Activities like investigations are most effective when done by small groups. Here are some more suggestions for effective team performance during these activities: Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the task given to him or her, and everyone knows exactly when, why and what to do; take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be aware of where other group members are and what they are doing so as to ensure safety; be responsible for your own learning, though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members.When there is research to be done, divide the topic into several areas, and this can explore the issue in a very detailed way. You are encouraged to keep records of the sources used by each person, which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen unexpectedly. A format for exchanging information (e.g., photocopies of notes, oral discussion, etc.) is also important, for a well-chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily understood. When the time comes to make a decision and take a position on an issue, allow for the contributions of each member of the group. Most important of all, it is always wise to make decisions by compromise and agreement.After you've completed a task with your team, make an evaluation of the team's effectiveness - the strengths and weaknesses, opportunitiesand challenges.Title Working TogetherTheme Effective performance needs highly cooperated (71) ▲ .

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

That 's comforting. But it's also misleading because there's actually a lot going on underground. Masses of land (called plates) sli p, slide, and bump against each other, slowly changing the sh ape of continents and oceans over millions and billions of years.Scientists know that Earth formed about 4. 5 billion years ago. They also know that our planet was hot at first. As it cool ed, its outermost layer, called the crust （地壳), eventually formed moving plates. Exactly when this shift h appened, however, is an open question.Now, an international group of researchers has an answer. They've found new evidence suggesting that Earth's crust star ted shifting at least 3.8 billion years ago. The new estimate is l . 3 billion years earlier than previous ones.Not long before 3. 8 billion years ago, lots of small planet s were hitting Earth, keeping its crust in a hot, melting state. A fter the hard crust formed, much of it sank at various times int o the planet's hot insides. There, it melted before returning to the surface.In some places, however, the crust never sank. One of th e oldest such places is in Greenland, in an area called the Isu a supracrustal (上地壳) belt. The rocky crust there is between 3. 7 and 3. 8 billion years old. The belt was once part of the seafloor, but now it is exposed to air.The researchers recently took a close look at the Isua supra crustal belt. They noticed long, parallel cracks（裂缝）in the rock that have been filled in with a type of volcanic rock. To explain this structure, the scientists propose that tension in the crust caused the seafloor to crack open long ago. Hot, l iquid rock oozed from deep inside Earth to fill the cracks. Fina lly, the whole area cooled, forming what we see today.That explanation, plus chemical clues inside the rock, sugg ests that the Isua supracrustal belt was once part of plate und er the ocean, beginning around 3.8 billion years ago.“It's a fantastic case of solving a jigsaw puzzle（拼图）,”says one of the researchers. He notes that the puzzle w as “a very difficult one because these rocks are all very old and have been badly ruined".32. The underlined phrase “oozed from" in Paragraph 7 is clo sest in meaning toA. filled up graduallyB. washed away quicklyC. flew out of slowlyD. broke through suddenly33. What can we infer from the text?A. The shapes of continents and oceans changed slowly.B. The Earth's crust started shifting l.3 billion years ago.C. The crust began to shift when the Earth was hot.D. The hit from small planets made the Earth cool.34. What do scientists know about the past of the Isua suprac rustal belt?A. It was once covered by hot, liquid rock.B. It remained under the deep sea.C. It stayed hot and sinking.D. It kept moving slowly.35.

高中英语真题-2016高考英语阅读理解及书面表达练习(3)

高中英语真题:2016高考英语阅读理解及书面表达练习（3）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Book reviews can be a great foot in the door if you’re looking t o get your writing published somewhere. Most magazines, wh ether online or print, will include book reviews about books th at tackle the topics the magazine discusses. Also, most editor s and staff writers are usually too busy to read books and revi ew them themselves (unless they are specifically assigned to a book review column). Therefore, writing book reviews can b e a great way to get started with a writing career.Many people that are reading your review may not know anyt hing about the book you’re reviewing. Instead of making them go find information on their own by searching for the book titl e, start out with a little description of the book. Make sure you avoid too long of a summary, though, because if too much of your article is a summary of the book, it won’t be interesting. Start with a short paragraph or so that hits all the major points but doesn't give too much away. You don’t want to tell your r eader everything about the book, because then they won’t have to read it at all. Just give enough information so your reade r is interested in reading the book.Some magazines like to publish book reviews that are comple tely objective（客观的）. This means that they want a review of the book that doe sn't share your opinion and that in which your opinion isn't obv ious from reading what you wrote. If you hated a book, it migh t not be a great book to review. You probably want to review b ooks that you enjoyed. This will give your review a positive spi n. Avoid gushing about how much you loved the book, howev er. You should not include your personal reaction to the book until the very end, where you include a sentence or two about whether or not you would recommend a book and to whom yo u would recommend it.A great way to get your review noticed is to look at a book thr ough a specific lens. Read the book as a feminist（女权主义者） would, for example, and talk about what a feminist might say to applaud or criticize the book. You can choose any num ber of lenses, and feminism is just one option. An economic le ns, a family lens, the lens of a different nationality, or the lens of a child could all be interesting ways to look at a book. If you look at a book in this way, instead of just reading it and formi ng your own opinion, it will be much more interesting and marketable. This is especially the case if you look at a lens that re lates to the subject of the magazine to which you are submitti ng. Feminist magazines love book reviews about books read t hrough a feminist lens, for example, because it pertains to the ir readership.Another great way to write a book review is to talk about the w riter’s style. Anyone can pick up a book and read for the plot, but it takes an experienced writer to note interesting things ab out another writer’s style and write about them intelligently.1. What’s the first paragraph mainly about?A. Standards of good book reviews.B. Benefits of writing b ook reviews.to get your writing published. D. Topics usually discussed in magazines.2. Which of the following is a characteristic of a good book rev iew?A. Including much information on a major point of the book.B. Stating clearly the writer’s opinion of the book.C. Giving a brief summary of the book.D. Avoiding describing the book.3. The fourth paragraph is developed mainly by .A. giving examplesB. telling personal experiencesC. making comparisonsD. analyzing causes4. According to the text, only a skilled writer can .A. look at a book through a specific angleB. give an objecti ve description of a bookC. find a book and understand its plot easilyD. pay close at tention to another writer’s style【参考答案】1—4、BCAD阅读理解。

Asthma(哮喘) is a long-lasting breathing disease that affects millions of Americans, many of whom are children. People who get asthma will suffer from lack of breath, difficulty in breathing or coughing--which are caused by the tightening of the muscles in airways. Untreated asthma can lead to poor lung function and death, but asthma can also be effectively controlled with proper treatments.Research is discovering genes that contribute to the development of asthma. This development has pointed researchers to the role of indoor and outdoor pollution as environmental factors that contribute to the increased occurrence of asthma.The Indoor PollutionIndoor pollution has increased with the developments in building materials and in heating and air conditioning systems. In addition to poisonous gases that come from paint, other materials like dust and perfumes used in household products such as washing powder are recycled continuously through the house, winter and summer.Unlike the days before central heating or before whole-house air conditioning, these materials and chemicals cannot get out of modern homes. Most often, they cause breathing problems in the members of the family with the least-developed autoimmune(自身免疫的) systems. Proper venting (通风) and use of environmentally-friendly building materials and carpeting can help reduce the presence of these chemicals.The Out door pollutionResearchers have also established outdoor pollution's role as a probable cause of asthma. Asthma has been proven to result from some fuel products. Smog and the small matters carried by it have been recognized as a factor which leads to asthma since the 19th century when London saw more and more diseases in the industrial population. Industrial pollutants and other chemicals which are produced in water treatment and open treated water like that found in the swimming pools also contribute to increased cases of asthma as well as other illnesses.Those most affected by the increase of industrial and environmental pollution are children. Although much has been done to control the levels of pollution in the US, there still remains much to do as it is a worldwide phenomenon. Until an international effort can be made to limit carbon emissions, the occurrence of environmental asthma will probably continue to increase.／results／effects；Factors；caused/ increased；Besides；remain/ stay；increased/ increasing；harmful；prevented/stopped/ kept/ away/ free/ freed【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，分析了哮喘产生的原因，从室内污染和室外污染两个方面来进行阐述。

Since the age of three, Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. “The only thing that I loved was dance,” she told the press. That ambition nearly ended one night in 2010. Hill, then a 17-year-old high school senior in Pacific Grove, California, was in a car accident that put her in the hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed (使瘫痪) from the waist down. Most people would be frustrated and quit any hope of a dancing career. But for Hill, it was just the beginning.Far from being an obstacle, her wheelchair encourag ed her. “I wanted to prove to my community—and to myself—that I was still ‘normal’,” she said. “Whatever normal meant.”Normal for her meant dancing, so Hill did it in her wheelchair right alongside her non-disabled high school dance team. “Half of my body was taken away from me, and I have to move it with my hands,” Hill said. “It definitely took a lot of learning and patience.”After graduation, Hill wanted to expand her dance network to include women like her. She met people online who had suffered various spinal cord (脊髓) injuries and shared her determination, then invited them to dance with her. “It was such an amazing experience.” Hoping to reach more people in a larger city, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities she calls the Rollettes. “I want to break down the stereotype (偏见)of wheelchair users and show that dance is dance, whether you’re walking or you’re rolling,” she said.Dancing on wheels, the Rollettes discovered, can be just as fast-paced, artful, and fulfilling as the foot-based variety. It’s so powerful to have teammates in their life and helps them to draw out their potential capacities. In disabled dance competitions around the country, the six-member team is having fun, and as the audiences’ excited reactions indicate, the fun can influence others easily, which is really amazing.续写要求：1. 所续写短文词数应为150左右；2. 至少使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
