1America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. but truly can't manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous__with__our__time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes,For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for pure business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!1.The writer of this passage must be ________.A.an American B.a ChineseC.a professor D.a student2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B.Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C.Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D.Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.3.The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “________”.A.strict with timeB.serious with timeC.careful with timeD.willing to spend time4.A suitable title for this passage would probably be “________”.A.Friendships between ChineseB.Friendships between AmericansC.Americans' hospitalityD.Americans' and Chinese views of friendships2Now,we know that if we do not get enough vitamins,we are at the risk of developing a number of diseases. As a result,vitamin supplements(补品),though expensive,are popular with people who worry that they are not getting enough vitamins from the foods they eat. But contrary to what many people think,medical experts have found little evidence that most supplements do anything to improve health or protect against diseases.In fact,medical experts warn that taking too many of some vitamins can be harmful. For example,too much vitamin E can cause bleeding. People should discuss what vitamins they take with their doctors,as some vitamins can produce harmful side effects when mixed with medicines.Experts,however,do say that sometimes vitamins can help prevent diseases. People who know they lack a particular vitamin should take vitamin supplements. Some older adults, for example,may not have enough vitamin B12.This is because,as people get older,their body loses its ability to take it from foods. Also,people who spend much time inside may need some extra vitamin D as the skin makes this vitamin from sunlight.Different vitamins are found in different foods. Vitamin A is found in fish liver oil.It's also in the yellow part of eggs. Sweet potatoes,carrots and other darkly coloured fruit and vegetables contain substances that the body can change into vitamin A.Vitamin B12 is found in green leafy vegetables and other foods,like fruit. Vitamin K can be found in pork products.In fact,for most people,a balanced diet can ensure enough vitamins our bodies need. So,it isimportant for us to eat a mixture of foods every day to ensure that we get enough vitamins.5.What is probably talked about before this passage?A.How many vitamins a person's body needs.B.How many vitamins some foods contain.C.The benefits that vitamins bring to our health.D.What people should do to stay healthy.6.From the passage,we can learn that medical experts advise people ________.A.never to take any vitamin supplementsB.to depend only on foods for their vitaminsC.not to take any vitamins together with medicinesD.to consult their doctors before taking vitamin supplements7.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Getting enough vitamins through a balanced dietB.Vitamin supplements do harm to our healthC.Vitamins are important to our healthD.Lacking vitamins can cause many diseases3It is a question that has confused parents for decades: Why do children refuse to eat greens?Now, two American experts believe they have the answer.After studying dozens of babies as they played with various objects, the researchers noted that they were far more unwilling to grasp plants than other things. They believe this is because evolution (进化) has biologically made children be wary of plants.Due to susceptibility (敏感性) to illness or injury in the early years of life, the body has designed an inner defence mechanism (机制) that limits a child's contact with plants, they think. The researchers believe this is why babies in the study were afraid of grabbing plants and why children turn their noses up when faced with a plate of broad beans.The findings are published in a paper by Dr Annie E. Wertz and Dr Karen Wynn, both psychologists at Yale University.They wrote,“Throughout human evolution…plants have been essential to human existence. Yet, for all of these benefits, plants have always caused very real dangers.”“Plants produce toxins (毒素) as defences that can be harmful, or even deadly. Some plants alsoemploy physical defences, such as thorns and poisonous oils that can damage tissues (组织) and cause effects over the whole body.”They added,“We predicted that babies may have behavioural strategies that reduce their exposure to dangers posed by plants by minimizing their physica l contact with plants.”To test their theory, the researchers studied how children aged eight to 18 months old reacted when presented with a variety of objects. It took much longer for children to grab plants; objects that were faked to look like plants also caused a slow response time.For parents attempting to spoon some peas into the mouth of their child, this finding should come as welcome relief.8.What does the underlined word “wary” in the third paragraph mean?A.Curious. B.Afraid. C.Tired. D.Certain.9.What did early humans probably do to survive?A.They chose to make more artificial things.B.They forbade their children to touch plants.C.They chose to have little contact with plants.D.They tried very hard to escape from predators.10.Which is the best title for the text?A.Give children more fun things to doB.The survival instinct (本能) is to blameC.What kind of things are healthyD.Infants of eight to eighteen months old4Any diet on which you live that contains fewer calories than you need to get through the day—like an 800-calorie-per-day diet—can be dangerous. Diets that don't allow any fat also can be bad for you. Everyone needs a certain amount of fat in their diet—up to 30% of total calories—so no one should eat a completely fat-free diet.Don't have diets that restrict(限制) certain food groups, either. A diet that requires you to say no to bread or pasta or allows you to eat only fruit is unhealthy. You won't get the vitamins and minerals you need. And although you may lose weight, you'll probably gain it back as soon as you start eating normally again.Some people start dieting because they think all the problems in their life are because of weight.Others have an area of their life that they can't control, like an alcoholic parent, so they focus on something they can control—their exercise and food intake.People who diet may get lots of praise from friends and family when they start losing pounds, which makes them feel good. But eventually a person reaches a weight level and doesn't lose as much weight as before because the body is trying to keep a healthy weight, so they aren't any happier.Some people may find it hard to control their eating, so they stick with an__extreme__diet for a little while, but then eat tons of food. Feeling guilty about the binge, they use laxatives(轻泻药). Eating too little to maintain a healthy weight or eating only to throw up the calories are both eating disorders, which are harmful to a person's health.11. Which of the following is NOT the reason that some people start and keep dieting?A. They think their trouble comes from their weight.B. They have an alcoholic parent.C. Other people praise them when they lose some weight.D. There is something they can't control except food intake.12. The underlined phrase in the last paragraph refers to “________”.A. a fat-free dietB. a special dietC. eating too muchD. eating too little13. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. A person needs about 800 calories each day.B. A person who doesn't eat bread is unhealthy.C. An improper diet may cause eating disorder.D. Fat takes up the most part of calories inside body.14. According to the passage, when people want to lose weight, they should________.A. avoid eating some food that can lead to being fatB. control their eating amount and timesC. have a healthy and balanced dietD. throw up some of what they eat5How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither thedesire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else). Registered dietitian (营养学家) Barbara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.“Go for nutrient-dense (营养丰富的) foods,” she suggests. “Foods that contain a multiple of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice—the rest is largely coloured sugar water. You just can't compare the value of these foods; the nutrient-dense ones are so excellent,” she emphasizes.Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life—it's the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets, which are based on one or two foods, are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength; they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren't supplied in sufficient amounts or balance.Morrissey also believes that trying to find a diet that will cure your illness, or make yourself a superwoman is a__fruitless__search,__so you will not achieve your aim. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace foods.“We need carbohydrates, protein and fat—they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are the match, the spark, for the fuel,” she explains. “We need them all, but in a very different proportions (正确的比例). And if the fuel isn't there, the spark is useless.”15.From the first paragraph we know that working women ________.A.think cooking is especially complicatedB.do not share the same views with registered dietitiansC.are busy and not interested in cookingD.are likely to eat healthfully16.In Paragraph 4 “a fruitless search” means “________”.A.an effort with no resultsB.a search for a diet without fruitC.a research on fruitless dietsD.a diet serving as medicine17.By saying “if the fuel isn't there, the spark is useless”,the author means “________”.A.carbohydrates, protein and fat are enough to support a human lifeB.vitamins and minerals are virtually of no valueC.carbohydrates, protein and fat, vitamins and minerals are of no useD.without carbohydrates, protein and fat, vitamins and minerals are of no use6Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that's only superficial. Besides, in decent restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you're in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you__should__say__so__in__good__time,__for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all.Perhaps one of the things that surprise a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests. In formal dinners, there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate.People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed. When you have had enough, just say so. Or you will always overeat!18. What's the main difference on dinner table between China and the West?A. On Chinese dinner table, chopsticks replace knife and fork.B. You have your own plate of food in the West while in China everyone shares the dishes.C. You're treated to a formal dinner for the first time.D. The host will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.19. According to the passage, we can infer that ________.A. Chinese think it polite to put food into the plates of the guests with their own chopsticksB. Chinese think it impolite for guests to leave food in the plateC. people in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumedD. Chinese all think it impolite for guests to ask for a pair of knife and fork20. The sentence, in Paragraph 2, “you should say so in good time” means “________”.A. you should say so happilyB. you should say so earlyC. you'd better say soD. you should say so kindly7“Clean your plate!”Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent. Often, it is accompanied by an appeal: “Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!” Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of staying “clean the plate”,perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.According to news reports, the US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies. A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told the USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline began to expand.Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade believed restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 per cent had no opinion; 20 per cent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can't afford fine dining still prefer large portions. 70 per cent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 per cent of those earning less than$25,000 want smaller.It's not that working-class Americans don't want to eat healthily. It's just that, after long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck to paycheck, happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents.21.“Clean your plate!”in the first paragraph means “________”.A.to wash the plateB.not to eat too muchC.not to waste the foodD.to help the starving orphans22.What happened in the 1970s?A.The government recommended serving small portions.B.Americans began to realize the importance of health.C.Health experts persuaded restaurants to serve large portions.D.People in the United States began to gain weight.23.What does the survey indicate?A.Many poor Americans want large portions.B.20 per cent of Americans want smaller portions.C.70 per cent of Americans earn at least $150,000 per year.D.45 per cent of Americans earn less than $25,000 per year.8Food serves as a form of communication in two ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-coloured eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and mooncakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.24.According to the passage, sharing bread________.A.indicates a lack of foodB.can help to develop unityC.is a custom unique to rural areasD.has its roots in birthday celebrations25.The author explains the role of food in celebrations by________.A.using examplesB.making comparisonsC.analysing causesD.describing processes26.What is the passage mainly about?A.The custom of sharing food.B.The specific meaning of food.C.The role of food in ceremonies.D.The importance of food in culture.9Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes.To some degree, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings.Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical(完全相同的) twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We wouldsoon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.27.Which of these sentences best describes the writer's point in Para.1?A.To some degree, intelligence is given at birth.B.Intelligence is developed by the environment.C.Some people are born clever and others born stupid.D.Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.28.It is suggested in this passage that________.A.unrelated people are not likely to have similar intelligenceB.close relations usually have similar intelligenceC.the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligenceD.people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence29.In Para.1, the word “surroundings” means “________”.A.intelligence B.lifeC.environments D.housing30.The best title for this article would be “________”.A.On intelligenceB.What intelligence meansC.We are born with intelligenceD.Environment plays a part in developing intelligence答案:1【文章大意】本文通过事例分析说明了中美两国人在看待友谊方面有差异。

高考英语阅读冲刺练习题原文Why play games? Because they are fun, and a 1ot more besides. Following the rules…planning your next move...acting as a team member…these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating (合作) .Many children’s games have a practical side Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones. Which sharpens the hand-eye coordination(协调)needed in hunting.Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the eventwave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.高考英语阅读冲刺练习题( ) 1.

高考阅读理解冲刺练习题附答案高考阅读理解冲刺练习题原文Laws that would have ensured pupils from five to 16 received a full financial education got lost in the wash up. An application is calling on the next government to bring it back.At school the children are taught to add up and subtract(减法) but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account —let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children from five to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children, Schools and Families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called “wash-up” earlier this month — the rush to legislation before parliament was dismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habits of young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven- to11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of themare in debt to family and friends. By this age, 26% see a credit card or overdraft(透支) as a way of extending their spending power. Pfeg predicts that these young people will “find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school.”The UK has been in the worst financial recession(衰退)for generations. It does seem odd that — unless parents step in — young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university. In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents.高考阅读理解冲刺练习题61.

The website and the consumer campaigner joined to _________.A. instruct the pupils to donate their pocket moneyB. promote the connection of schools and familiesC. ask the government to dismiss the parliamentD. appeal for the curriculum of financial education64.

No one can takeit entirely to themselves; nor is itforeignto any one.This was the decision of John Marshall, chief Justice of the United States from 1801 to1835. It was made known as a basic rule of the sea that no one, and therefore everyone, ownsthe ocean. This means that outside territorial waters (the waters within three miles of acountrys coast),the law is whatever nations agree on in peacetime and whatever the strongestnavy powers can enforce in wartime.After the United States bought Alaska, Americans began to seize Canadians who werehunting seals outside Alaskan territorial waters. The Americans said that the seals wereAmerican possession because they often came into the Alaskan shores owned by the UnitedStates. International judges disagreed with this reasoning. In some cases, however, thespecial rights of a nation that makes good use of an open-sea area are recognized.All of the seas rules are set up by international conferences and agreements.江苏高考英语阅读冲刺训练1.The idea that the sea‖ belongs equally to all‖ was put out by______.A. an unwritten agreementB. a U.S. Supreme Court decisionC. an international conferenceD. a written agreement2.The basic rule of the sea means that______.A. any powerful nation may control the seaB. any area of the sea belongs to the nation closest to itC. no one has whole rights to the open seaD. no nation has any sea rights3.International judges decided that______.A.

According to Daniela DeFrino of the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine and College of Nursing, teens rarely stated they were depressed, but they often described their feelings like,“I’m down.I always find somehow to go back to stressful mode.”“Parents can easily overlook these expressions or link them to regular stress,”said DeFrino.“But sometimes there is so much more under the surface that can lead to depression.”DeFrino and colleagues went through deep interviews done with 369 teenagers t aking part in an ongoing health study paid for by the National Institute of Mental Health.The teens, considered at risk for depression, gave indirect clues to their state of mind.These teens are reported feeling angry, a loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy, and either sleeping too much or having trouble sleeping.In terms of the reasons,most mentioned homework pressure and expectations of success.Teens whose moods had worsened talked about arguments with parents, verbal(口头的) and emotional abuse.Two­thirds of the teens had visited doctors for health problems.“Doctors, nurses and other medical providers need to be aware of the opportunities to care a child’s mental health,”DeFrino said.“Teens may be experiencing a lot of internal struggles and difficult life stresses, which need our examination with sensitive questioning and understanding,”DeFrino explained.“In this way, we can find children’s mental health problems and help deal with them in advance.”【解题导语】患有抑郁症的青少年通常会通过间接方式表达自己的抑郁倾向,这一点应引起家长和医护人员的重视。

No one can takeit entirely to themselves; nor is it‘foreign’to any on e.This was the decision of John Marshall, chief Justice of the United States from 1801 to1835. It was made known as a basic rule of the sea that no one, and therefore everyone, ownsthe ocean.This means that outside territorial waters the waters within three miles of acountry‘s coast,the law is whatever nations agree on in peacetime and whatever the strongestnavy powers canenforce in wartime.After the United States bought Alaska, Americans began to seize Canadians who werehunting seals outside Alaskan territorial waters. The Americans said that the seals wereAmerican possessionbecause they often came into the Alaskan shores owned by the UnitedStates. International judges disagreed with this reasoning. In some cases, however, thespecial rights of a nation that makesgood use of an open-sea area are recognized.All of the sea‘s rules are set up by international conferences and agreements.1.The idea that the sea‖ belongs equally to all‖ was put out by______.A. an unwritten agreementB. a U.S. Supreme Court decisionC. an international conferenceD. a written agreement2.The basic rule of the sea means that______.A. any powerful nation may control the seaB. any area of the sea belongs to the nation closest to itC. no one has whole rights to the open seaD. no nation has any sea rights3.International judges decided that______.A.

Only the basicflags of Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland are older.During the discovery and settlement of what is now the United States, the flags of variousEuropean nations were flown over the land, as symbols of possession. Later, in the ColonialandRevolutionary War periods, flags representing famous persons, places,and events wereflown in the American Colonies.The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress on June 14,1777, Itconsisted of 13 alternate red an white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue, representingthe13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776. Congress adopted a new flag of15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795 to give representation to the two new states admitted into theUnion,Vermont and Kentucky.By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became apparent that adding one stripefor each new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, Congress in 1818 restoredtheoriginal design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by onestar. In 1912 President William H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangementof the stars.He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each. Previously thearrangement of the stars had been left to the flag-maker‘s fancy.The evolution of the Stars and Stripes reflects the growth of the United States. After theadmission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959, the flag was officially changed for the 26th timessinceits creation. There are many government flags flown in the United States in addition tothenational flag. Among them are the president‘s and vice-president‘s flags and those of thefederal departments and some federal agencies. Each state in the Union has an official flag. TheUnitedStates Navy uses special flags for signaling.1.The basic flag of the United States is______.A. the oldest national flag in the world.B. one of the world‘s oldest flags.C. the most beautiful flag in the West.D. as old as the basic flags of some European nations.2.The first official flag of the United States was adopted______.A. before the Independence WarB. right after the Independence WarC. when independence was declared in 1776D. during the War of Independence which ended in 17833.The 13 red and white stripes and 13 white stars represent______.A. 13 independent statesB. the colonies that declared independence in 1776C. the U.S. CongressD. 13 famous figures in the American colonies4.Why was the original design of 13 stripes restored in 1818?A.

As he got up to investigate, he heard another sound, this one coming most definitely from outside. Looking out of his bedroom window, he noticed a tree enveloped in smoke about 500 yards away. A car wrapped around the tree's base, its engine on fire.Grabbing buckets of water, he and his wife ran to the crash site. Up close, the accident looked worse. The car was split nearly in two, and the tree was where the driver's seat ought to have been, as if planted there. No one should have survived this crash, and yet there was 20- year-old Quintin Thompson, his terrified face pressed against the driver's side window,in visible pain.Languell tried putting out the fire with his buckets of water but failed. When the flames got into the front seats, he knew he had to get the young man out. So Languell opened the car's back door and climbed in. Using a pocket knife he'd brought with him, he cut through Thompson's seat belt. Now that Thompson was free, Languell pulled him out, and dragged him to safety before the entire car was in flames.It is empathy that drove Languell to help, just as he said," My heart goes out to Thompson. When you are that close to that level of hurt, you feel it so directly." For his heroic action, Languell was added to the list of real-life heroes changing the world.4.Where was the first sound actually from?A. A house on fire.B. A car crash.C. The bedroom window.D. The basement.5.What do we know about Quintin Thompson?A. He saved his car from fire.B. He was successfully rescued.C. He remained calm all the time.D. He was capable of helping himself out.6.Which of the following best explains "empathy”underlined in the last paragraph?A. Honesty.B. Wisdom.C. Sympathy.D. Responsibility.7. Which words can best describe Damian Languell?A. Daring and generous.B. Caring and grateful.C. Courageous and noble.D. Ambitious and reliable. 【答案】BBCC三Coral reefs (珊瑚礁)are an integral part of sea life and sustain it by providing shelter and habitat to various organisms. They also supply and recycle nutrients as well as enable a growing fish population, along with other species, for a healthy and diverse ecosystem. However, the rise in average water temperatures due to climate change has resulted in more frequent and longtime u coral bleaching (白化现象)”events that damage their health, causing fish and other sea species to abandon them.In order to restore this delicate ecosystem, scientists from the UK and Australia conducted a study that involved using loudspeakers underwater near damaged coral reefs to make them sound healthy and attract fish, potentially kick-starting the natural recovery process of coral reefs and their dependent life forms. The location for this experiment was the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea, found alongside the east coast of Queensland, Australia. The site is noted to have the largest coral reef system in the world.“Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places-the crackle of snapping shrimp and the whoops and grunts of fish. Young fish concentrate on these sounds when they're looking for a place to settle,”said Steve Simpson, study co-author anda professor at the University of Exeter, UK.By using loudspeakers to copy such sounds, parts of dead coral reefs were found to attract twice as many fish, compared to places where no sounds were played.“These returning fish, are crucial for coral reefs to function as healthy ecosystems. Boosting fish populations in this way could help to kick-start natural recovery processes, preventing the damage we're seeing on many coral reefs around the world,”said lead author, Tim Gordon.8.What causes the phenomenon of coral bleaching?A.Diverse species.B. Noise pollution.B.Fishing industry. D. Climbing temperatures.9.What approach is introduced to recover the coral reefs?A.Removing damaged coral reefs.B. B. Using loudspeakers to keep fish away.C.Building new homes for sea species.D.Playing certain sounds to appeal to fish.10.Why are Steve Simpson's words quoted?A.To provide some findings of the study.B.To show the progress of the experiment.C.To explain reasons for the new approach.D.To give another solution to the problem.11.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The attempts are in vain.B.Natural recovery is impossible.C.Initial success has been achieved.D.The coral reefs have returned to normal.【答案】DDCC四As we reflect on the evolution of fitness over the centuries, and the emergence of a well- organized and growing "fitness”market and industry, it is well to ask ourselves: what have we lost, and what have we gained?Obviously, much good has come out of these recent developments: there's widespread awareness of the importance of regular exercise, nearly every community has a gym or fitness club where people can go or pay to work out, and we understand more about how the human body works. Yet despite the many health and fitness methods, programs, and resources, the general population has never been so physically sedentary (久坐的)and out-of-shape. A recent World Health Organization report indicates that life expectancy (寿命)in the U. S. dropped for the first time since1993. The health of modem people is declining, despite highly advanced medical technologies and the booming health and fitness industry.How could that be? A large part of it is motivation. People are simply not as motivated to move their body and get healthy as they were in the past. We live in a society where the inability to operate one's body in a practical and effective manner is no longer an embarrassing condition. The fitness industry, no matter how good each new program claims to be, has failed to get the majority of people to value, practice, and enjoy physical exercise.So, should we expect the answer to this dilemma to come from even more varied, or more technologically advanced programs and equipment? Or will the solution come from a different mindset, a simpler approach and practice, and overalla new culture?12.What does the author tell us about fitness industry in paragraph 2?A.It provides better technology.B.It is supported by most people.C.It brings about positive effects.D.It costs people too much money.13.What is the main reason why people fail to do physical exercise?A. Not enough equipment.B. Lack of inner drive.C. Misguided instructions.D. Embarrassing living14. What does the author seem toA. Change attitudes to fitness.B. Rely on standard practice.C. Seek more potential customers.D. Turn to more advanced15. What is the best title for the text?A. Lost in fitnessB. Misunderstanding aboutC. Evolution of fitnessD. Importance of fitness 【答案】11--15 CBAA五Sweetest Day in America is always the third Saturday in October. This holiday is much more important in some regionsthan in others (Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo being the biggest Sweetest Day cities). It is a holiday that is gaining in popularity every year throughout the country.Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged, and orphaned, but also friends, relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.Over 60 years ago, a man in Cleveland, believing that thecity's orphans and shut­ins (卧病在床的人) too often felt forgotten and neglected, thought of the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this through the distribution of small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he distributed these small remembrances on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to participate in the celebration ceremony, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. In time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the underprivileged was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small remembrance. And soon the idea spread to other cities all over the country.Sweetest Day is not based on any single group's religious affection or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning. Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift­giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a practical way.16. We can learn from the first paragraph that Sweetest Day is ________.A.sometimes the third Saturday in OctoberB.hardly celebrated in DetroitC.of equal importance in every part of the USAD.getting increasingly popular in the USA17. Sweetest Day was intended to remember ________.A.the young and disabledB.friends and relativesC.orphans and shut­insD.the sick and aged18. We can infer from the passage that the birthplace of Sweetest Day is ________.A.Detroit B.Cleveland C.BuffaloD.Washington【答案】DCB六Mandara seemed to know something big was about to happen. So she let out a yell, caught hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the National Zoo in Washington D.C..And on Tuesday, August 23rd, witnesses said she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And she’s not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orangutan (猩猩) let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of hershelter.“It’s very different from their normal call,”said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. “The lemurs (monkey like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm if they see or hear something highly unusual.”But you can’t see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you can——if you’re an animal.“Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing,”said Brandie Smith. “That’s part of their special abilities. They’re more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive.”Primates weren’t the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound and a huge lizard (蜥蜴) ran quickly for cover. The flamingoes (a kind of birds) gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking stopped.So what kind of vibrations (震动) were the animals picking up in the moments before the quake? Scientist Susan Hough said earthquakes produce two types of waves——a weak “P”wave and then a much stronger “S”wave. The “P”stands for “primary”. And the “S”stands for “secondary”. Shethinks the “P”wave might be what sets the animals off.Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. For example, Smith said the zoo’s giant pandas didn’t jump up until the shaking actually began. But many of the other animals seemed to know something was coming before it happened. “I’m not surprised at all,”Smith said.19. Why did Mandara act strangely one day?A. Because it sensed something unusual would happen.B. Because its daughter Kibibi was injured.C. Because it heard an orangutan let out a loud callD. Because an earthquake had happened.20. According to Brandie Smith,_____________.A. many animals hearing is sharpB. earthquakes produce two types of wavesC. primates usually gather together before a quakeD. humans can also develop the ability to sense a quake21. Which animal seems unable to sense quake?A. A giant panda.B. A flamingo.C. A lemur.D.A lizard.22. What is the best title for the passage?A. How animals survive a quakeB. How animals differ from humansC. How animals behave before a quakeD. How animals protect their young in a quake【答案】AAAC七A British-designed electronic newspaper which is made of plastic and no larger than a table mat(垫子) is to enter the market next year. The new newspaper was conceived(想出) by Cambridge University scientists. They came up with the idea of replacing silicon chips (硅片) with plastic ones. It is being developed by Plastic Logic, a company based in Dresden, Germany."It looks just like a table mat, and is as light as a magazine. But you can download hundreds of newspapers at the touch of a button, and read them quite safely," the BBC reported on its website.The plastic paper is produced in a safe "clean room" at the Plastic Logic factory, which opened last month as the world's first plastic-electronics factory. Every part of the product, from the screen to the electronics, is made of plastic. And it is described by engineer Dean Baker as "top quality". Baker says the plastic newspaper could help solve the problem of waste material associated with traditional newspapers."There's a huge amount of waste. We have paper distributed(分发)all over the country each day and then thrown into the bin. This doesn't need to happen anymore. All of the copies could be made electronically and stored on a single e-reader with the appearance of paper." he says.People can expect to see the plastic newspaper next year, the BBC says.23. According to the first paragraph, the electronic newspaper .A. is made of silicon chipsB. is smaller than a table matC. was developed by a company in EnglandD. was designed by more than one person24. What's special about the electronic newspaper compared with traditional ones?A. It looks like a table matB. It's as light as a magazine.C. People can download and read lots of newspapers on itD.

It will be harder to distribute than before.C. It will have no visual (视觉的) appearance.D. It will save a huge amount of paper.26. What's people's attitude towards the electronic newspaper according to the BBC?A. Hopeful.B. Doubtful.C. Disappointed.D. Worried【答案】DCDA八Sometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they were sure to be there. They serve some sort of on purpose, teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: your classmate, neighbor, teacher, long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But you know that every moment they will affect your life in some serious way.Sometimes things happen to you. At the time they may seem terrible, painful and unfair. But later you realize that without getting over those difficulties you would have never realized your further ability and strength. Everything happensfor a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.The people you meet affect your life, and the successes and failures(失败) you experience, create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.Enjoy every day even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and really listen. You should set your sights high, hold your head up, tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself.You can make your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.27. The people we meet ________.A. all know where to find usB. serve us on no purposeC. won't become our neighborD. will change us in some way28.

Which is the best title for the passage?A. Create Your Own LifeB. Hold Your Head UpC. People You Meet in LifeD. Things Happen to You【答案】DBBA。

Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don’t want to embarrass themselves.If you feel you can relate,then group training is an even better option for you.It’s a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision(监管) of a fitness instructor.If you’re tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored,you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that’ll keep your workout on track.Don’t let fitness frighten you!If you’re serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle,it’s extremely important to surround yourself with people who’ll provide you with the proper emotional support.I wouldn’t scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn’t expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health.Surround yourself with people who uplift,encourage and understand you!Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class,with a friend.Plan to go for a jog together.Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar!Fitness can be both fun and social!Surrounding yourself with people who’ll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals.First,decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive.Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive.Don’t let negativity ruin your motivation.1.The first paragraph focuses on .A.the greatest challenge of group exerciseB.the most effective way to improve physical fitnessC.the contribution of group exercise to psychological healthD.the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups答案 C解析细节理解题。

The weather is fine so a bout of (一次) fishing is in order, followed by lunch cooked on an open fire. Homework and classes? Indefinitely dismissed.“We are called a school but we look nothing like any school out there,” s ays JoeyMoncarz, cofounder and head teacher at Deep Green Bush School. “We don't do things like telling kids it is time to write or learn math. When they are interested in doing it, they do it.Moncarz is an exmainstream teacher. After five disappointing years in mainstreamschools in New Zealand he quit to found Deep Green Bush School, which has a roll of eight,and no classroom walls, time out chairs (罚坐椅) or tests.Concerned that mainstream schools were not preparing children for the global problemsof the future — such as climate change — Moncarz imagined a totally different kind ofeducation, rooted in the primal skills of hunting, gathering and survival. If the weather allows,pupils spend the majority of their day outdoors, exploring the New Zealand bush, learning tofish and hunt, trapping possums and learning about the plants and animals of their home. Themore traditional school skills, such as reading, writing and arithmetic, are acquired at theirown pace, after they begin showing an interest in them.“We don't have what you'd traditionally consider problem kids,” says Moncarz. “Ourparents saw their kids were unhappy and stressed in mainstream education and they startedquestioning: Is it normal or right for kids to come home stressed and unhappy? Having taughtin a mainstream school, I'd say most kids are stressed and unhappy.”Bush School is registered with the Ministry of Education as an independent school, andtherefore does not have to abide_by the standard New Zealand curriculum, although it issubject to ministerial regulation.Inspired by the Sudbury Valley School in the US, which in turn was inspired by A.

Actually,sitting down and interacting with someone in person can seem like a rare luxury nowadays.But as technology develops, are we losing our ability to connect and empathize (移情) withothers?Empathy is the ability to feel another person’s emotions and understand his/her views. In the past few decades, r esearchers have emphasized our ability to literally read others. Thetheirway we usually try to detect other people’s emotions is through their facial expressionseyes in particular. We are told that “the eyes are the windows of the soul, and eye contact is certain critical in empathy.However, empathy relies on more than reading facial expressions. New researchsuggests our voice can greatly help us connect. A new study by Michael Kraus from YaleUniversity has found that our sense of hearing may be even stronger than our sight when itcomes to accurately detecting people’s emotions. In other words, you may be able to sense someone’s emotional state even better over the phone than in person. Kraus conducted threeexperiments to arrive at the conclusion. In all these experiments, the participants gave the best performance when they only heard peoples voices (compared to when they looked at facial expressions alone, or looked at facial expressions and heard voices).In several follow-up studies, Kraus directed his attention to why the voice is such a powerful mode of empathy. He asked the participants to discuss a difficult work situation over a video conferencing platform using either just the microphone or the microphone andthe video. Once again, the participants were more accurate at detecting people's emotions in voice-only calls. When we only listen to the voice, he found, we simply focus more on the nuances (细微差别) as the speakers express themselves.How can we get better at interpreting emotions in the voices of our coworkers and loved ones? There isn’t much research so far exploring this question specifically. One study on babies, cries suggested that parents with more musical training were better at distinguishing cries of distress from other types of cries. But, really, we might not need much training. Kraus found that, once you remove other inputs (like facial expressions), your attention naturally sharpens when it comes to voice messages. B esides, the human ability to catch nuances in voices may have offered a strong evolutionary advantage to our ancestors, which helped ensure survival.You’re more emotionally on the phoneA question to answer ●Nowadays (1)▲ communication has gained greatpopularity, which dramatically (2) ▲ real-life interactions.In such a situation, can we still connect and empathize with others?A (3) ▲ belief about empathy ●Humans tend to understand what other people are (4)▲ bydetecting their facial expressions, especially from their eyes.A new study about empathy ●The new study was (5)▲ on three experiments, whichsuggested that the participants were most (6) ▲ in detecting people's emotions when they only heard their voices.A(n) (7) ▲ of the new study ●The voice is a powerful mode of empathy, because it makes pe o plestay (8) ▲ on the voice messages.Other discoveries ●According to a study on babies' cries, musical training is a (9)▲ to better ability to listen for empathy.●The ability to listen was an important reason why our ancestors wereable to (10) ▲ .参考答案完形填空【语篇导读】Hayden 上大学时,签署了捐献骨髓自愿书,没想到一年以后,救了一位一岁女孩儿的性命。

2012年高考英语阅读理解冲刺练习91
Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my c hildren out alone,” said Christie.
Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.
The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else aro und,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.
Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering(口吃的)son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.
The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child ---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves(应得到)to be an only child at least once in a while.
64. What is the text mainly about?
A. The experience of the only child being with mother.
B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.
C. The happy life of two families.
D. The basic needs of children.
65. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.
A. happy
B. curious
C. regretful
D. friendly
66. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?
A. The daughter acts like a leader.
B. Sam holds her hand more often.
C. The boys become better followers.
D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.
67. The author seems to believe that ___________.
A. having brothers and sisters is fun
B. it’s tiring to look after three children
C. every child need s parents’ full attention
D. parents should watch others’ children
答案 64. A 65. D 66. D 67. A。
