最新高考英语阅读理解精英练习题（11）及答案阅读理解EWhat is the color of the universe? Astronomers had not answered this question until two months ago. That is when two American astronomers reported on their study of all the light in the universe. They said that the universe would appear to the human eyes to be a light greenish color.Karl Glazebrook and Ivan Baldry of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, reported their finding in January. They presented the research at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society. They said that finding the color of the universe was not part of their more serious scientific research. They did it for fun.However, earlier this month, the scientists admitted making a mistake. They said their finding was much more colorful than it should have been. They now say the light from our universe is closer to white. It is more like a milky or creamy white color.Their study attempted to show what people might see if they could observe the universe from far away. The scientists found the average color by combining light from about two-hundred-thousand star systems. Their information came from an observatory in New South Wales, Australia.The scientists gave a number value to the colors of the different star systems. Then they added the numbers together and found the average measurement. The scientists used this average to identify the color of the universe. They said it was a very pretty light green. Many newspapers and television stations reported their finding.Other scientists and color engineers attempted to reproduce the result. Mark Fairchild of the Rochester Institute discovered a mistake in the computer software program used by the Johns Hopkins scientists.When the mistake was corrected, the results changed. The new color of the universe is much less colorful. It is very close to white.17.The color of the universe is _______.A．close to white B．black C．blue D．light greenish18.The two scientists found the color of the universe by _______.A．combining light from about 200,000 star systemsB．observing at an observatory in IndiaC．making long-term scientific researchD．using computer software programs19.Who found the true color of the universe?A．Karl Glazebrook. B．Ivan Baldry. C．Mark Fairchild D．Johns Hopkins..20.This passage mainly tells us _______.A．what the color of the universe isB．the light from our universe is a light greenish colorC．the new color of the universe is much more colorfulD．the finding of the color of the universe is difficult17----20、ADCA第二节：根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
专题11-2021年新高考英语拓展阅读训练-人与动物或植物(解析版)
专题11—人与动物或植物Text 1(2020年全国统一高考英语试卷（新课标Ⅱ）)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn’t cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (时装)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur-unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. “The ecosystem down there can’t handle this non-native species(物种).It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us.” says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades，but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s，the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it’s not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton’s job these days is trying to promote fur.Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Model Paige Morgan says，”To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-1 think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She trying to come up with a lable to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.28．What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?A．To promote guilt-free fur.B．To expand the fashion market.C．To introduce a new brand.D．To celebrate a winter holiday.29．Why are scientists concerned about nutria?A．Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.B．Nutria are an endangered species.C．Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.D．Nutria are illegally hunted.30．What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A．Boomed.B．Became mature.C．Remained stable.D．Crashed.31．What can we infer abouf wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?A．It’s formal.B．It’s risky.C．It’s harmful.D．It’s traditional.【答案】28．A29．A30．D31．B【解析】本文是说明文。

It was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for “Six days shall you labor and do all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning. Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets , they had sent him to the kitchen for string(线). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping, A gun she cast a look toward the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s take string to the boys and watch them On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.There never was such a day for flying kited! We played all our fresh string into the boys’ kites and they went up higher and higher .We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down it the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps it’s like this in the kingdom of heav en,” I thought confusedly.It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to house. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been a surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn't mention that day afterward. I felt a little embarrassed .Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep “the things that cannot be and yet they are.”The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to “go park ,see duck.”“I can’t go!” I said. “I have this and this to do, and when I’m through I’ll be too tired to walk that for.”My mother , who was visiting us , looked up from the peas she was shelling ,“It’s a wonderful day,” she offered，“Really warm , yet there’s a fine breezy . Do you remember that day we flew kites?”I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The looked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “Come on.” I told my little girl. “You’re right, it’s too good a day to miss.”Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath (余波)of a great war. Allevening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of – what dark and horrible things?“Say!” A smile slipped out from his lips. “Do you remember --- no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t make the impression on you as it did on me.”I hardly dared speak. “Remember what?”“I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp(战俘营), when things weren’t too go od. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?”( ) 1. Mrs. Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thoughtA. she was too old to fly kitesB. her husband would make fun of herC. she should have been doing her housework thenD. her girls weren’t supposed to play the boy’s game( ) 2. By” we were all beside ourselves”, the writer means that they all .A. felt confusedB. went wild with joyC. looked onD. forgot their fights( ) 3. What did the writer think after the kite-flying?A. The boys must have had more fun than the girls.B. They should have finished their work before playing.C. Her parents should spend more time with them.D. All the others must have forgotten that day.( ) 4. Why did the writer finally agree to take her little girl for an outing?A. She suddenly remembered her duty as a mother.B. She was reminded of the day they flew kites.C. She had finished her work in the kitchen.D. She thought it was a great day to play outside.( ) 5. The youngest Patrick Boy is mentioned to show that _____ .A. the writer was not alone in treasuring her fond memoriesB. his experience in POW camp threw a shadow over his lifeC. childhood friendship means so much to the writerD. people like him really changed a lot after the war【参考答案】1---5、CBDBA阅读下列短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
内江市最新 版高考英语 阅读理解专题练习
内江市最新版高考英语阅读理解专题练习一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解At first, Michael Surrell didn't see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors' home. He and his wife had just parked around the corner from their own house in Allentown, Pennsylvania, when they got a call from one of his daughters, "The house next door is on fire!" He went to investigate. That's when he saw two women and a girl hysterical (歇斯底里的)on their porch."The baby's in there!" one of the women cried. Though the fire department had been called, Surrell, then 64, instinctively ran inside. "The baby" was 8-year-old Tiara Roberts, the woman's granddaughter and a playmate of Surrell's three youngest kids, then 8, 10, and 12. The other two on the porch were Tiara's aunt and cousin.Entering the burning house was like "running into a bucket of black paint," Surrell says. The thick smoke caused him to stumble blindly around, burned his eyes, and made it impossible to breathe. The conditions would have been hazardous for anyone, but for Surrell, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (慢性阻塞性肺疾病), they were life-threatening. He was the last person who should have run into a burning building--- he has lung disease. But that didn't stop him.After a few minutes in the smoke filled house, he retreated outside to catch his breath. "Where is Tiara?" he asked desperately." The second floor." her aunt shouted back.Surrell knew he couldn't hold his breath for long. So he uttered a little prayer, "Well, Lord, this is it. You gotta help me, because I'm not coming out without that little girl." Taking a deep breath, he went in a second time.The darkness was overwhelming. Yet because the house had a similar layout to his, he found the stairs and made it to the second floor. He turned to the right and was met by intense heat. He was already out of breath."Baby girl, where are you?" His throat and lungs burned as if he'd inhaled fire instead of the smoke and soot in the air. Every blink stung his eyes. All he could hear was the crackling and popping of burning wood. ①.Still unable to see, Surrell fell to his knees on the hot wood floor. He crawled toward the sound, feeling around for any sign of the girl. An ominous thought crossed his mind: I'm probably gonna die up here.Finally he touched something. A shoe, then an ankle. He pulled Tiara toward him. ②Her body was limp and she wasn't breathing. He scooped her into his arms and stood. He felt the heat of the flames on his cheeks. Turning, he fought through the smoke and ran blindly into the blackness. The next thing he knew, he was at the front door, then outside. Surrell put Tiara down on the porch.③. A voice told him, "You have to breathe for her." He started CPR -the first time he'd ever done so. The women stood behind him, praying silently. Soon a soot-filled cough came from Tiara's throat. Surrell gave five more breaths. She coughed again. Her eyes flickered. He gave one final breath. She opened her eyes and took a breath on her own.④.Their eyes met. Surrell hugged her tight and said, "Uncle's got you." Soon after, his throat closed off.Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later, having suffered severe burns to his windpipe and the upper portion of his lungs. He spent over a week in the hospital. Tiara was released from the hospital after a few days. The fire exacerbated Surrell's pulmonary condition, and he feels the effects even two years later. As a result, he takes extra medication that helps open his airways. "It's a small price to pay," he says. "I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Wouldn't giveit a second thought."（1）Michael Surrell ran to save "the baby" mainly because______.A.he was on the scene casuallyB.he was driven by instinctC.his daughter was in dangerD.his own house was at risk（2）Why should Surrell be the last person to run into a burning building?A.The fire department had been called.B.He was 64 years old at that time.C.The condition was life-threatening.D.He had chronic pulmonary disease.（3）In the course of rescue, Surrell______.A.had to move out for breath because of smokeB.was prevented by the overwhelming smokeC.made it to the second floor without any troubleD.could clearly hear the sound made by the baby（4）Which blank could the sentence "Then a weak but distinct voice emerged" be best put in?A.①B.②C.③D.④（5）From the last paragraph, we can learn that______. .A.Surrell came back to life a week laterB.Tiara had to stay in hospital for weeksC.Surrell's disease became more seriousD.Tiara needed further extra medication（6）What can be a suitable title for the passage?A.Breathe for HerB.Struggle to surviveC.A small price to payD.A man with lung disease【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）A（4）A（5）C（6）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，一个患有慢性阻塞性肺疾病的人不顾个人安危去邻居家着火的房子里成功救出小女孩，因此造成他肺部疾病加重，但是他对自己所做的从不后悔。

高考英语阅读理解
高考英语阅读理解高考英语阅读理解11篇高考英语阅读理解1在英语学习中，阅读占有很重要的地位。
阅读理解也是高考的必考题型。
但是在日常的学习中，有不少同学还没有养成良好的阅读习惯，大大影响了阅读的效率。
要想提高阅读水平，首先要养成良好的阅读习惯。
养成默读的习惯许多同学在阅读的时候都有读出声的习惯。
出声阅读的主要弊病就是使自己的阅读速度和效率受到说话速度的限制。
因为，正常默读速度几乎要比出声朗读的速度快两倍以上。
另外，出声阅读往往以不同的形式表现出来，有时仅仅是无声地动一动嘴唇，有时甚至连嘴唇也不动，只是舌、喉在活动。
嘴唇的活动无疑会影响眼睛扫视文章的速度。
一个有效率的读者能够只看到印刷符号就直接获得意思，而不经过声音阶段。
因此，为了克服这种不良的阅读习惯，就要训练自己养成通过眼睛直接感知文字符号的视读能力。
克服心读的习惯心读是一种很难观察到的阅读习惯。
心读时，人体的任何部位，不论嘴、头或声带都没有动，只存在一种说话的内在形式：阅读者在内心里始终自言自语，清晰地发出并听着每个字音。
这种毛病亦是一种很坏的阅读习惯，它直接影响到阅读的速度和效率，并且矫正起来还比较困难。
采用强制自己在深入理解文章内容的同时，又强制自己加快阅读速度的方法，一般能逐渐克服这种坏习惯。
克服指读的习惯指读是指用手指、铅笔或尺子等指着文章的一个个词进行阅读。
指读是单纯机械运动，不仅会减慢阅读速度，而且还会把注意力引向错误的方向。
一个高效率的阅读者不会注意单词的位置，也不会在每个单词上平均花费时间，而是把注意力集中在作者要阐明的思想内容上。
有指读习惯的同学实际上妨碍了眼睛运动并限制了大脑的快速活动能力。
因此，必须克服这种不良的阅读习惯，逐渐养成用脑瞬间反映文字信息的能力。
克服复视的习惯复视指的是读完一个句子或段落后回过头去重复阅读。
阅读能力差的同学往往有复视的习惯。
改变这种不良习惯的办法是让自己阅读大量难度适宜的读物。
在先了解阅读要求的情况下，用眼睛快速扫描答案。

阅读理解-词义猜测三1、 The Edinburgh International Film Festival, after 60 years as one of thecity's cultural focuses in August, will move to June from next year. Artisticdirector Hannah McGill said the festival needed more breathing space.“There are huge advantages in having all these cultural events in one place and time,” she said. “But there is limited space. It’s like when a child has a birthday on Christmas Day —it all comes on top of each other.”Ms McGill said that the film festival wanted to use extra places to organize events and conferences which Edinburgh was too crowded to provide in August. Shespoke of her difficulty, for example, being unable to hold an exhibition as partof the film festival because of limited space.However, Jon Morgan, the director of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival,deprecated the film festival s move which suggested the city was overburdened inAugust. “There are still hundreds of spaces that aren't used,and there is stillroom for it to expand,” he saidThe move to June made s ense. It would allow more air between it and the London Film Festival, providing for more distinctive (有特色的)programming.“June will give us the breathing space to expand and create our own identity, allowing us to further develop our position as one of the world's most innovative(创新的) and challenging annual film events,” Ms McGill said The festival organisers thought that the move to June would not reduceaudiences,saying film-lovers would visit Edinburgh in early summer. Ginnie Atkinson, the festival’s managing director, said, “Our audiences are very film-focused. Last year we asked in our market research if they would come if we were the only showin town and they said yes.”1.The passage intends to tell us that the Edinburgh International FilmFestival ___________.A.needs improvingB.enjoys great successC.needs more breathing spaceD.will move to “quieter” June2.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph suggests that _______.A.having two important events in one place and time has many advantagesB.having two important events in one place and time will cause pressureC.wonderful things always go hand in handD.having a birthday on Christmas Day is a lucky thing3.The underlined word “deprecated” in Paragraph 4 probably means__________.A.disagreed toB.approved ofC.supportedD.held4.We can infer from the passage that ________.A.the move to June will affect the number of people who visit EdinburghB.the festival is one of the world s most innovative and challenging annual filmeventsC.the festival has been one of Edinburgh's cultural focuses for 60 yearsD.it is generally believed that August is a busy month to the cultural circles inEdinburgh2、 Stonehenge, the world-famous circle of stone columns may 12. have had abrother. A much bigger, older brother.University of Bradford researchers announced they had discovered about 100stones covering several acres thought to have been built around 4,500 years ago.The Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project discovered the monument, which is nearDurrington Walls, also known as “ superhenge”. Stonehenge, which is believed tohave been completed 3,500 years ago, is about 2 miles away. "What we are startingto see is the largest surviving stone monument, preserved underneath a bank, thathas ever been discovered in Britain and possibly in Europe,” said Vince Gaffney.The evidence was found under 3 feet of earth. Some of the stones are thought to have stood 15 feet tall before they were toppled. "Our radar data have shown anamazing row of up to 90 standing stones, a number of which have survived after being pushed over, and a large bank placed over the stones," said professor WolfgangNeubauer, director of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archaeology.“ In the east,up to 30 stones ... have survived below,” he said. “The extraordinary scale and details of the evidence produced by the Stonehenge HiddenLandscapes Project, which the new discoveries at Durrington Walls, is changingfundamentally(根本上) our understanding of Stonehenge and the world around it,"Neubauer added."Everything written before about the Stonehenge landscape and the ancientmonuments within it will need to be rewritten,” said Paul Garwood, a scientist and lead historian on the project at the University of Birmingham. The findings wereannounced on the first day of the British Science Festival being held at theUniversity of Bradford.1.It is believed that the superhenge is _________ earlier than the Stonehenge.A.1,000 yearsB.2,500 yearsC.3,500 yearsD.4,500 years2.What do researchers think of the superhenge?A.It is the biggest monument discovered in the world.B.It was built much later than the Stonehenge.C.It is the largest surviving stone monument found in England.D.It is better protected than the Stonehenge.3.What do the underlined word “toppled” most probably mean?A.Set up.B.Pushed down.C.Moved away.D.Brought up.4.What is the best title of the passage?A.The southern England has many historic sitesB.The British Science Festival will be held againC.Bigger Brother to Stonehenge has been discoveredD.The Project at the University of Birmingham3、 If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around.It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but sinceit has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as GoldenDelicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see therange of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by theRomans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try,as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One ofthe v ery best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll needa warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will bestsuit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit,including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, nearFaversham in Kent.1.What can people do at the apple events?A.Attend experts’ lectures.B.Visit fruit-loving families.C.Plant fruit trees in an orchard.D.Taste many kinds of apples.2.What can we learn about Decio?A.It is a new variety.B.It has a strange look.C.It is rarely seen now.D.It has a special taste.3.What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.A practical idea.B.A vain hope.C.A brilliant plan.D.A selfish desire.4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To show how to grow apples.B.To introduce an apple festival.C.To help people select apples.D.To promote apple research.4、 In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people. Surprisingly, these people live largely bytheir own laws and their own social customs. And yet, people in this area are infact French citizens because it has been a colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they should live by the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effectsof a Frenchman form Paris called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon r ainforest,with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne.“I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,” says Gin. “I’ve been able to keep firmfriendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their livingenvironment. I don’t see it as a lawless land. But rather I see it as an area offreedom.” “I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon theuncivilized life,” continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, whichallows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.” His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time. Thesepictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for.These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic, which bringswith it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal and evensuicide.1.Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous people in French Guiana?A.They seldom follow the French law.B.They often ignore the Guianese law.C.They are separated from the modern world.D.They are both Guianese and French citizens.2.Gin introduced the special world of the indigenous Guianese as _________.A.a tour guideB.a geographerC.a film directorD.a photographer3.What is Gin’s attitude towards the lives of the indigenous Guianese?A.Cautious.B.Doubtful.C.Uninterested.D.Appreciative.4.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A.The modern French lifestyle.B.The self-supporting hunting.C.The uncivilized hunting.D.The French Republic.5、"Indeed," George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, "some kind of fly, orbug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home." But the father of America was not the father of bug. When Washington wrote that, Englishmen had been referringto insects as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had already createdlightning-bug(萤火虫). But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in theirlanguage, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. Although fan became the usual term, sports fans usedto be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug-shaped car. The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to, bug, that is, "to install(安装) an alarm". Now i t means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others’ conversations. Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant "to cheat", and since the 1940s it has been annoying.We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design. Thatmeaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as "little problems and difficulties" that required months of study and labor to overcome indeveloping a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison "had been upthe two previous nights discovering 'a bug' in his invented record player."1.We learn from Paragraph 1 that .A.Americans had difficulty in learning to use the word bugB.George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bugC.the word bug was still popularly used in England in the nineteenth centuryD.both Englishmen and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century2.What does the word "flaw" in the last paragraph probably mean?A.ExplanationB.FindingC.OriginD.Fault3.The passage is mainly concerned with .A.the misunderstanding of the word bugB.the development of the word bugC.the public views of the word bugD.the special characteristics of the word bug6、Ask people in the UK what the words “Sunday roast” mean to them, and they’ll probably take you back to their grandmothers’ dining rooms –maybe with a few stories of “the greatest puddings” and “the best ever steak”. But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days. Accordingto the Daily Mail, just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly mealtogether.There are many reasons why the roast is becoming less popular. In the busymodern world, where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the computer screen, people just don’t seem to have the time or patience to make a roast.And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to the kitchen to cook. Nowadays, people are often out shopping or at the cinema until it’s far too lateto start thinking about heating the oven(烤箱) up.However, a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carriedaway by our tight schedules: “It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.”The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only thehalf of it .The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen,and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends. “For busy moms and dads, even if you can manage to turn off your mobilephone and the TV only once a week and turn the Sunday roast into a real family event, children can have fun cooking the food and clearing up together.”1.The best title for the passage is probably _____.A.Sunday—Best Time for FamilyB.Sunday Roast Dying OutC.It’s the Perfect Time for UsD.Let’s Sit Down Together2.Why do people pay less attention to Sunday roast?A.They have a busy lifestyle.B.They have no interest in cooking.C.They don’t think it worthwhile.D.They are living in the modern society.3.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A.A recent article.B.A traditional kitchen.C.The fine old tradition.D.Sunday morning activity.4.How does the author feel towards Sunday roast’s dying out?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Sorry.D.Uncertain.答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：1.D; 2.B; 3.A; 4.D解析：1.主旨大意题。

Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.An attraction of sport programs for the major U. S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings (收视率) are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers. With such viewers, these programs don't need high ratings to stay on the air.1. Television sport programs on weekend afternoons ________.A．result in more sport eventsB．get more viewers to play sportsC．make more people interested in televisionD．bring more money to the television networks2. Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?A．Because there would be few viewers.B．Because the advertisers would be off work. C．Because television programs would go slowly.D．Because viewers would pay less for watching television.3. In many families, men make decisions on ________.A．holiday trips B．sports viewingC．television shopping D．expensive purchases4. The ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because ________.A．their advertisers are carmakersB．their viewers are attracted by sportsC．their advertisers target at rich peopleD．their viewers can afford expensive cars5. What is the passage mainly about?A．Television ratings are determined by male viewers.B．Rich viewers contribute most to television companies.C．Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television.D．Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events.【要点综述】本文叙述的是通过在星期六和星期日的下午播放一些电视节目来吸引那些高收入的人来看，给广告带来了极大的效益。

Bill Javis took over our village’s news-agency at a time of life when most of us only wanted to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-agency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been along-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock. Every day he opened his shop at 6:00 a. m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his doorstep before that. Many of Bill’s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o’clock, so at eleven sharp Bill cl osed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his neatest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometimes in the afternoon-, the evening paper landed on the doorway, and at 4 o’ clock Bill reopened his shop. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.He lived in a flat above the ship, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the afternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the, water. He had no luck, I could, see, but he was making no effort to move.“What’s wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path.For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, "Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right. "I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with him before.1. Bill Javis became a news-agent when ________.A. he need the money.B. he decided to take things easyC. he was quite an old manD. he gave up clock-repairing2. Bill opened the shop so early in the day because ________.A. he liked to do as much as possible before he went to workB. the shop had to be open when the morning papers cameC. he was never sure of timeD. it was then that he did a lot of business3. On that sunny afternoon, the writer was surprised when he saw Billbecause ________.A. he thought it was late for Bill to be still fishingB. he thought Bill was ill, since he was not moving at allC. Bill had not caught anything, and that seemed strangeD. Bill stayed in his flat4. From the information given in the passage, who or what do you think was wrong?A. The bell was; it must have gone off at the wrong time.B. Bill was; he had dropped off to sleep.C. The writer’s watch was fast.D. Bill’s clock was wrong; it was old.【参考答案及解析】1. C 推断题。

CLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number （中位数）of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.（1）What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?A. They developed very fast.B. They were large in number.C. They had similar patterns.D. They were closely connected.（2）Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2?A. Complex.B. AdvancedC. Powerful.D. Modern.（3）How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?A. About 6,800.B. About 3,400.C. About 2,400.D. About 1,200.（4）What is the main idea of the text?A. New languages will be created.B. People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.C. Human development results in fewer languages.D. Geography determines language evolution.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】本文属于社科类说明文，介绍了世界语言随着人类的发展，许多语种已消失或正面临灭绝，世界语言种类越来越少。

Every morning,while carrying plastic bags on his shoulders, he runs into children walking to school, ashamed at not being in a school uniform like them. Kumar is one of India's five million school dropouts. These are the children of villagers who moved to New Delhi but end up living in slums（贫民窟）. Many of them, like Kumar's father, can't afford to send their children to school. Others are not able to provide birth certificates for their children, which are necessary for school admission. However, two yellow buses-equipped as mobile schools with teaching materials such as books,whiteboard, pens and toys are helping them. They are part of the government's project which started in 2003.The books and school bags are free. Every morning,the yellow bus mobile schools arrive near selected slums. "If the children can't go to school, we have to take the school to them, to their doorstep," said Sharma, a mobile school teacher. Sharma said that at first parents hesitated to send their children to the mobile school because they were afraid that their children would be cheated. It took the teachers a long time to build their confidence. Financed by the UK Department for International Development（DFID）in India,the mobile schools project has helped reduce the number of dropouts from 25 million to 5 million. The children are proud because the mobile school comes specially for them. It has changed their lives and given them hope. After joining the bus school, eleven-year-old Meena is very happy with her new life. Although she is young, she understands that education is the key to escaping the poverty. So impressed by her progress, other mothers were convinced to let their daughters attend the mobile school.The mobile school teachers provide children with primary education to get them up to the level and then they go on with their studies in public schools.4.What keeps Kumar from going to school in New Delhi？______A.

In 1986，the CNPP had the worst nuclear accident in history. A series（系列）of mistakes and accidents caused an explosion and a huge fire, which burned for nine days. As a result of the disaster, entire cities had to be cleared. Over 100，000 people had to leave their homes forever.A 2，600-square-kilometer area around the CNPP was set apart as the "Chernobyl Exclusion Zone" to keep people away from the radioactive pollution.Much of the land in the Zone is forest and grassland. Radioactivity breaks down slowly over time,so the radiation has dropped some by now. The radioactive pollution has become part of the plants and the dirt in the area. But on April 4，fires broke out in the Zone, which can give off the radioactive pollution back into the air. Once the pollution is in the air, it can be spread by the wind. Over the last 10 days,hundreds of fire fighters have been struggling against the flames. One fire came close to the CNPP. Keeping fires away from the plant is important because dangerous and poisonous material is still stored there.Fighting the fire was much more challenging than normal because of the radiation dangers. In some places, fire fighters dug ditches（壕沟）to stop the fire from spreading, however,most of their efforts went into pouring water from the air since they couldn't do the same in most areas.

Hundreds of millions more could face increased risks of severe coastal storms, according to the first-ever model examining how nature and humans can survive together. "I hope no one is shocked that billions of people could be affected by 2050，" says Rebecca Chaplin-Kramer, lead author of the paper Global Modeling Of Nature's Contributions To People published in Science, who is an ecologist at Stanford University.Nature sees a frightening sight. Human activity has resulted in the severe change of more than 75 percent of Earth's land areas and 66 percent of the oceans, putting a million species（物种）at risk of being wiped out, according to the first-ever Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services.Human well-being is dependent upon nature's contributions,also known as ecosystem services. The new model looked at three of nature's contributions or services：providing cleanwater,coastal protection, or crop pollination（授粉）. The model shows that the future declines in those services will hit people in Africa and South Asia hardest because they are more directly dependent on nature,says Chaplin-Kramer in an interview. Wealthier countries can buffer the effects on them through imports of food and other basic things that help their people and economy.We have got a "deeply worrying picture of the social burdens of losing nature," writes Patricia Balvanera, an ecologist at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico in an accompanying article in Science. "What's really scary is that the model only looked at three of the 18 contributions to human well-being we've identified," says Balvanera in an interview.12.What does Rebecca Chaplin-Kramer mean by saying so in paragraph 1？______A. We'll lack food and clean water by 2050.B. We have much dependence on nature.C. We should face the serious situations.D. We must prevent severe coastal storms.13.What can we infer about nature？______A. We will surely lose its contributions.B. Its contributions do harm to humans.C. It can offer mankind coastal protection.D. Its services have been in sharp decline.14.What does the underlined word "buffer" mean in paragraph 3？______A. Discover.B. Use.C. Reduce.D. Predict.15.What's the text mainly talking about？______A. The relationship between nature and humans.B. Three of nature's 18 contributions to humans.C. Human activities and environment protection.D. The first-ever model assessing mankind's needs.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）At the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, we study how important emotions（情绪）are to teachers. We find that teachers' emotions matter for five primary reasons.Emotions matter for attention.（1）______ However, emotions like anxiety and fear, especially when kept long, throw teachers' concentration and thinking into disorder, which brings great trouble to their teaching work.（2）______ When we're feeling scared and stressed, the areas of our brains responsible for wise decision making also can become affected. People with the experiences of more positive states like joy and interest tend to evaluate individuals, places, and events more accurately compared to those experiencing more unpleasant emotions.Emotions matter for relationships. How we feel and how we interpret the feelings of others send signals for other people to either approach or avoid us.（3）______ This can affect students' sense of safety in the classroom-and likely at home in a virtual learning environment-therefore having a negative influence on learning.Emotions play an important role in teachers' health.（4）______ Stress has been shown to lead to serious health challenges, including depression and weight gain. Both the ability to regulate unpleasant emotions and the experience of more pleasant emotions have been shown to have health benefits.（5）______ Chronic（长期的）stress among teachers is linked to decreases in teacher motivation and engagement（参与度），both of which lead to burnout. Teachers who are burned out have poorer relationships with students and are also less likely to be positive role models for healthy self-regulation-for their students and their families.A. Emotions affect teachers' performance.B. Emotions are necessary for them to make decisions.C. Emotions are so vital to teachers' attention and health.D. How they feel influences them physically and mentally.E. Positive emotions are good for it and promote greater engagement.F.

In a second test, mice were clocked on how long they actively tried to escape a pool of water. Those exposed to night lights stopped struggling and just floated in the water, a sign of “behavioural despair”，10 times as long as the mice that had experienced normal nighttime darkness. All symptoms of depression disappeared within tw o weeks of the mice returning to a normal lightdark cycle, the researchers report. The scientists also couldquashthe behavioural symptoms by injecting (注射)the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity of certain molecules linked with human depression. This finding further suggests that light at night may cause something related to depression.

He was a man famous for his escapes from prison cells，from wooden boxes floating in rivers，from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his “magic” tricks. Of course，his secret was not magic or supernatural powers. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17，in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in a club in New York. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894，he and his wife Bess worked together as a magician and assistant. But for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his first prison escape，in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison，and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.It was the publicity that came from this started Hairy Houdini’s success. Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and toes trained to escape from ankle chains. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell，Bess gave him a kiss for good luck and a small skeleton key，which is a key that fits many locks，passed quickly from her mouth to his. Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local jail of every town he visited.

Los Angeles is the third largest city in the United States，with a population of three million. About sixteen percent of the city’s population are black.News of this election appeared on the front pages of newspapers everywhere in the United States. Here is how one major newspaper reported the event：LOS ANGELES ELECTES BRADLEY MAYOR UNSEATING YORTYBLACKS WINS% OF VOTESBradley called this victory over Yarty “the fulfillment[实现] of a dream”. During his childhood and youth，people had kept telling him，“You can’t do this，you can’t go there，because you are a Negro.” Nevertheless he had won a decisive victory ove r a man who had been the city’s mayor for three terms. Bradley had won 43. 7 percent.Los Angeles voters have had many opportunities to judge. Thomas Bradley had to form an opinion of him. The son of a poor farmer in Texas，he joined the Los Angeles police force in 1940. During his twenty-one years on the police force he earned a law degree by attending school at night.He was elected to the city council[市政厅] ten years ago. At the time of the Los Angeles election，three other American cities already had black mayors，but none of those cities had as large a population as Los Angeles. Besides，the percentage of blacks in those other cities was much larger. Cleveland，Ohio，had thirty-six percent black when Carl Stokes was elected mayor of Cleveland in 1967. In the same year Richard Hatcher was elected mayor of Gary，Indiana，which have fifty-five percent black. In Newark，New Jersey 60% of the population were black when Kenneth Gibson was elected in 1970. Thus election of a black mayor in those cities was not surprising.In Los Angeles thousands of white citizens voted for Thomas Bradley because they believed he would be a better mayor than the white candidates. Bradley had spent 48 of his 55 years in Los Angeles. Four years ago Bradley lost mayoral election to Yarty. This time Bradley won.1. In the authors opinion，it was surprising that _______.A. the whites would vote for a black mayorB. a black mayor would be elected in such a large cityC. a black from a poor farmers family could be elected mayor of Los AngelesD. there would be so many black mayors2. From the passage we can infer that people _______.A. voted for Bradley because his black colorB. didnt care much about his color when they votedC. voted for him to give him a chance to fulfill his dreamD. voted for Bradley because they trust him3. Bradley hit the front page headline for _______.A. he was the first black mayor in historyB. he was the first black mayor in the south of USAC. he was the first black mayor of one of the largest cities in USAD. a poor farmer’s son could also win an important election4. From Bradley’s victory in the election we can see that _______.A. blacks had equal rights as whites in the USAB. black people’s situation began to be improving much more than beforeC. one can be successful through hard work in US no matter what color you areD. it is sure that someday US will have a black president（三）A higher reading rate，with no loss of comprehension，will help you in other subjects as well as in English，and the general principles apply to any language. Naturally，you will not read every book at the same speed.You would expect to read a newspaper，for example，much more rapidly than a physics of economics textbook—but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage gained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with.The reading passages which follow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction. They are all about five hundred words long. They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge. Thus theyfall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks and the much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel. If you read this kind of English，with understanding at four hundred words per minute you might skim through a newspaper at perhaps 650—700，while with a difficult textbook you might drop to two hundred or two hundred and fifty.Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native English speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved. Tests in Minnesota，U.S. A for example，have shown that students without special training can read English of average difficulty，for example Tolstoy’s War and Peace in translation，at speeds of between 240 and 250 words per minute with about seventy percent comprehension. Students in Minnesota claim that after twelve half-hour lessons，once a week，the reading speed can be increased，with no loss of comprehension，to about five hundred words per minute.1. according to the passage，the purpose of effective reading with a higher speed is most likely to help you _______.A. only in your reading of a physics textbook.B. improve your understanding of an economics textbookC. not only in your language study but also in other subjectsD. choose the suitable materials to read2. Which of the following does not describe the types of reading materials mentioned in the second paragraph？A. Those beyond ones reading comprehension.B. Those concerned with common knowledge.C. About sixty words per minute.D. About five hundred words per minute.3. according to the passage，how fast can you expect to read after you have attended twelve half-hour lessons in the University of Minnesota？A. You can increase your reading speed by three timesB. No real increase in reading speed can be achieved.C. You can increase your reading speed by four times.D. You can double your reading speed.4. Where do you think the passage is taken from？A. The introduction to a book in fast reading.B. A local newspaper for young people.C. A school newspaper run by students.D. The introduction to an English textbook.（四）New York，10 November 5：27 pm，yesterday. Biggest power failure in the city’s history.Thousands of people got stuck in lifts. Martin Saltzman spent three hours between the 21st and 22nd floors of the Empire State Building. “There were twelve of us. But no one panicked. We passed the time telling stories and playing word games. One man wanted to smoke but we didn’t let him. Firemen finally got us out.”“It was the best night we’ve ever had，” said Angela Carrera，who runs an Italian restaurant on 42nd Street. “We had lots of candles on the tables and the waiters were carrying candles on their trays. The place was full and all night，in fact，for after we had closed，we let the people stay on and spend the night here.”The zoos had their problems like everyone else. Keepers worked through the night. They used blankets to keep flying squirrels and small monkeys warm. While zoos had problems keeping warm，supermarkets had problems keeping cool. “All of our ice cream and frozen foods melted，” said the manger of a store in downtown Manhattan. “They were worth $50，000.”The big electric clock in the lobby[大厅] of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in downtown Manhattan started ticking [滴答] again at 5：25 this morning. It was almost on time.1. Throughout the period of darkness，Martin Saltzman and the eleven others were ________.A. nervousB. excitedC. calmD. frightened2. In what way was the night of November 9 the best night for Angela Carrera？A. She had a taste of adventure.B. Burning candles brightened the place.C. Business was better than usual.D. Many people stayed the night in her restaurant.3. How long did the power failure last？A. Nearly 12 hours.B. More than 12 hours.C. Nearly 24 hours.D. More than 24 hours.（五）Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become“computer-literate.” But not all experts[专家] agree that this is a good idea.One pioneer，in particular，who disagrees is David Tibbett，the founder of Computer town UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer，David does not see it that way. He says that Computer town UK was formed for just the opposite reason，to bring computers to people and make them “people-literate？David Tibbett thinks Computer towns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two. The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts，who are happier going to Computer towns where there are computers for them to experiment on，with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have. They are not told what to do. They find out. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers，but have to be able to answer all questions people ask. People dont have to learn computer terms[术语]，but the experts have to explain in plain language. The computers are becoming “people-literate？1. Which of the following is David Debuts idea on the relationship between people and computers？A. Computer learning should be made easier.B. There should be more computer clubs for experts.C. People should work harder to master computer use.D. Computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.2. We can infer f rom the text that “computer-liberate” means ________.A. being able to afford a computerB. being able to write computer programsC. working with the computer and finding out its valueD. understanding the computer and knowing how to use it3. The underlin ed word “it” in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computer towns ________.A. help to set up more computer clubsB. bring people to learn to use computersC. bring more experts to work togetherD. help to sell computers to the public4. David Tibbett started Computer town UK with the purpose of _______.A. making better use of computer expertsB. improving computer programsC. increasing computer salesD. popularizing computers参考答案与解析（一）文章讲的是一个著名的艺人赫迪尼成功的原因。

An “apple polisher”is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment. It is not exactly a bribe(贿赂), but is close to it.All sorts of people are “apple polishers”，including politicians and people in high offices—just about everybody. Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but failed.Ther e are other phrases meaning the same thing as “applepolishing”—“softsoaping”or “buttering-up”. A gift is just one way to “softsoap”somebody, or to “butter him up”. Another that is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praise—telling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how talented and wise he is.Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love to hear it? Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is. In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who get so little of it.We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It cannot hurt unless we get carried aw ay by it. But if we just lap it up for its good value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to ourselves.Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got tired of listening to endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣). They overpraised him to the skies, as a man of limitless might.He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in. The tide was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied. This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery was.1．Which of the following activities has nothing to do with “applepolishing”？A．A boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looks.B．An employee tells her boss how good he is at management.C．A knight is said to be of limitless power by his followers.D．A teacher praises her students for their talent and wisdom.2．What does the writer want to prove with Cromwell's example? A．Everybody can be an apple polisher.B．Cromwell was not a good apple polisher.C．George Fox and his party were not apple polishers.D．There are people who don't like being applepolished.3．Which of the following statements about flattery is TRUE according to the author?A．Too much flattery can carry us away.B．Flattery is too empty to do people any good.C．Flattery can get you nothing but excessive(过度的) pride.D．Flattery is one of the ways to applepolished people.4．Why did King Canute of Denmark and England take his followers to the seashore?A．Because he was sick of his normal life.B．Because he disliked being overpraised any more.C．Because he wanted them to realize how wise he was.D．Because he wanted them to see how weak he was as a king.5．Who does the author think that flattery can do good to?A．Those who are politicians or in high offices.B．Those who lack confidence.C．Those who are really excellent.D．Those who think highly of themselves.【要点综述】本文论述了现代社会存在的一个普遍现象，人们往往为了自己的一点儿利益去送礼或者说一些阿谀奉承的话，当然有时即使这样做了也未必就能实现自己的愿望。

One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装)．On September 11th, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in m y lap, saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is. ”What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”，“pitiful”，and “dying”， which sounded ominous.Christmas was coming. “Don't expect any presents this year，” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. “If your baby brother lives, that'll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke, his eyes f illed with tears. I'd never seen him cry before.The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it.From my bedroom I heard him say, “What?

但后来Richard发高烧差点夭折，经医院抢救得生，这使我更加珍爱我的“人娃娃”。
1. A 细节理解题。
虽然表面上是有了一个娃娃，但事实上是有了亲弟弟。
2. D 词义猜测题。
从该句前半部分中的“hopeless”，“pitiful”，and “dying”可知该词意思是“令人害怕的”。
虽然其他三个词均表示消极含义，但只有fearful表示“我”害怕“弟弟”离“我”而去。
3. C 推理判断题。
从第四段最后两句As he spoke, his eyes filled with tear s. I’d never seen him cry before.可知父亲感到十分伤心。
4. C 主旨大意题。
第一段一开始便定义我的弟弟Richard是一件特殊的圣诞礼物。
虽然弟弟Richard差点离我们而去，但后来还是得以平安回家，因此圣诞节并不悲惨。
B和D选项外延过大，此段材料只是截取生活中的一个片段，并非整个和Richard一起生活的全部。
阅读下列短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
It seems like every day there's some new research about whether our favorite drinks are good for us. One day, science says a glass of red wine a day will help us livelonger. The next day, maybe not. It seems journalists are pretty interested in wine research and the same might be said for coffee. Now there's been a lot of research into whether coffee's good for our health "the results have really been mixed"，admits Neal Freedman who led the coffee study and published his findings in a medical journal recently. "There's been some evidence that coffee might increase the risk of certain diseases and there's also been maybe more recent evidence that coffee may protect against other diseases as well".Freedman and his colleagues undertook the biggest study yet to look at the relationship between coffee and health. They analyzed data collected from more than 400，000 Americans ages 50 to 70 participating in the study. "We found that the coffee drinkers had a modestly lower risk of death than the non-drinkers， he said. Here's what he means by "modestly": those who drank at least two or three cups a day were about 10 percent or 15 percent less likely to die for any reason during the 13 yearsof the study when the researchers looked at specific causes of death, coffee drinking appeared to cut the risk of dying from heart disease, lung disease injuries, accidents and infections.Now, Freedman stressed that the study doesn't prove coffee can make people live longer.A study like this can never prove a cause-and-effect relationship. All it can really do is to point researchers in the right direction for further investigation. And even if it turns out that coffee is really good for you, scientists have no idea why.【文章大意】本文是一篇科学调查报告。
