（英语）高三英语试卷分类汇编英语阅读理解(及答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Emoji might not be your first choice of communication in a disaster, but researchers feel they could make a difference during emergencies, where every second counts. Now, the Emoji-quake campaign is lobbying for an earthquake emoji to be added to the Unicode set — the standard group of icons available on digital devices worldwide. The campaign aims to find an earthquake-appropriate design to be submitted to Unicode."Approximately up to one third of the world's population are exposed to earthquakes," explains University of Southampton seismologist (地震学家) Dr. Stephen Hicks, a founder of the campaign. "So we really want to be able to communicate to all of those regions, all of those different languages, and an emoji is an amazing way of doing that."Unlike many other weather and climate related events, where longer warning times or visible signs are available, earthquakes move incredibly quickly and are difficult to measure while they are still occurring. Populations in areas like Japan and Mexico are dependent on earthquake early warning technology, which issues an alert on digital devices and broadcast media. "You may have seconds to get under a table or to protect yourself," explains Dr. Hicks. "That can be life saving in many cases. Naturally you don't want too much wording in the warning message." Pictographs (象形文字) and other visuals like emoji have a track record of being faster and easier to understand than written information. Dr. Sara McBride, a communications specialist, who is also part of the campaign, told BBC News, "Emoji can cross the boundaries of written languages, helping communicate valuable information to people who may struggle to read a certain language."The potential usefulness of emoji in emergencies could extend well beyond earthquakes. A team of designers also came up with emerji—an entire set of emoji dedicated to climate and environmental events.（1）According to the passage, why did the campaign choose earthquakes as their target?A. Because earthquakes threaten many people in different regions.B. Because earthquakes are the easiest to be expressed by an emoji.C. Because earthquakes are not difficult to measure while occurring.D. Because earthquakes are the most destructive disasters in the world.（2）Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase "lobby for" in the first paragraph？A. Hope for.B. Enter for.C. Appeal for.D. Run for.（3）What can we infer from Dr. Sara McBride's words about emoji?A. Emoji benefits people with reading disability a lot.B. Emoji is being used to convey valuable information.C. Emoji can cross the boundaries of written languages.D. Emoji is a universal language and helpful tool in communication.（4）The best title of the passage should be ___________________.A. Could an emoji save our life?B. What can emoji do in our life?C. How is emoji changing our life?D. Do we really know about emoji?【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）D（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了一场以添加地震表情符号为目标的运动。

We think about the mistakes we made in the previous day, how things went wrong, and how we felt bad about it. No wonder it becomes difficult to focus on the current day.Here are some steps on how to start your new day fresh:⒈Take time to evaluate your dayAt the end of a day, take some time to think about it. The purpose of this thinking time is not to regret how bad your day was, how things went wrong, or how people treated you badly. This won't do you any good. Instead, the purpose of this thinking time is to extract（吸取）lessons which you can bring to the following day.⒉Make a commitment to apply the lessonsAfter you extract the lessons, you should make a commitment to apply them. To do so, find some actionable things you can do to apply the lessons. Next, remind yourself to do them. You may write them down if you want to.⒊“Close” your dayAfter you have spent the time to think about the day and extract the lessons, make a decision to “close” the day. You are done with it; don't think about it anymore.⒋Bring only the lessons to the next day and nothing elseAfter you “dose” a day, you should not bring anything out of it to the next day except for the lessons you extract.

【英语】高三英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Many scientists today are convinced that life exists elsewhere in the universe---life probably much like that on our own planet. They reason in the following way.As far as astronomers can determine, the entire universe is built of the same matter. They have no reason to doubt that matter obeys the same laws in every part of the universe. Therefore, it is reasonable to guess that other stars, with their own planets, were born in the same way as our own solar system. What we know of life on earth suggests that life will arise wherever the proper conditions exist.Life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere. This eliminates(除去) all those planets in the universe that are not about the same size and weight as the earth. A smaller planet would lose its atmosphere; a larger one would hold too much of it.Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light. This eliminates double stars, or stars that flare up suddenly. Only single stars that are steady sources of heat and light like our sun would qualify.Finally, life could evolve(进化) only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun. With a weaker sun than our own, the planet would have to be closer to it. With a stronger sun, it would have to be farther away.If we suppose that every star in the universe has a family of planets, then how many planets might support life? First, eliminate those stars that are not like our sun. Next eliminate most of their planets; they are either too far from or too close to their suns. Then eliminate all those planets which are not the same size and weight as the earth. Finally, remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet. It may not have begun yet, or it may have already died out.This process of elimination seems to leave very few planets on which earthlike life might be found. However, even if life could exist on only one planet in a million, there are so many billions of planets that this would still leave a vast number on which life could exist.（1）The existence of life depends on all of the following factors EXCEPT .A.the right amount of atmosphereB.our own solar systemC.steady heat and lightD.the right distance from the sun（2）Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A.The planet must be as big and heavy as the earth.B.Proper conditions are essential to the existence of life.C.Double stars can provide steady light and heat.D.The distance between a planet and its sun should be right.（3）What kind of planet might NOT support life?A.Most of the planets of the stars.B.Stars similar to our sun.C.Planets similar to the earth.D.Planets with proper conditions.（4）At the end of the passage the author suggests that .A.it is impossible for life to exist on planetsB.earthlike life could only exist on a few planetsC.life could exist on only one planet in a millionD.life could exist on a great number of planets【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，整个宇宙都是由同一种物质构成的，物质在宇宙的每一部分都遵循同样的规律。

I am Riffat Monaf, and I will be your geography teacher.” Riffat Monaf, an interesting name and an even more interesting person. Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life.Mrs Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography, but also won me over with her smile and warm eyes. It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the comfort of the classroom. I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes, the snow-capped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world.Never can I forget the glory of her face when she talks about how truly beautiful this world is. If I search back my love for the environment and geography, I find her to be the source of my love for preserving nature. If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I'll thank her for it. Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students “my children”. Mrs Monaf's morals and values rubbed off me deeply and I have always taken her advice into consideration. She has been one of the most consistently good things in my life.Currently, she is fighting a battle against breast cancer, and it pains me to know that after all she has done for me; I can donothing for her except pray. Whenever I see her in school, she still keeps that kind smile and an expression so soft that it trembles my heart.

高三英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Chinese scientists recently have produced two monkeys with the same gene, Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua, using the same technique that gave us Dolly the sheep. These monkeys are not actually the first primates（灵长类）to be cloned. Another one named Tetra was produced in the late 1990s by embryo（胚胎）splitting, the division of an early-stage embryo into two or four separate cells to make clones. By contrast, they were each made by replacing an egg cell nucleus （原子核）with DNA from a differentiated body cell. This Dolly method, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer（SCNT）, can create more clones and allows researchers greater control over the edits they make to the DNA.Success came from adopting several new techniques. These included a new type of microscopy to better view the cells during handling or using several materials that encourage cell reprogramming, which hadn't been tried before on primates. Still, the research process proved difficult, and many attempts by the team failed. Just two healthy baby monkeys born from more than 60 tested mothers. This leads to many researchers' pouring water on the idea that the team's results bring scientists closer to cloning humans. They thought this work is not a stepping stone to establishing methods for obtaining live born human clones. Instead, this clearly remains a very foolish thing to attempt, it would be far too inefficient, far too unsafe, and it is also pointless.But the scientists involved emphasize that this is not their goal. There is now no barrier for cloning primate species, thus cloning humans is closer to reality. However, their research purpose is entirely for producing non-human primate models for human diseases; they absolutely have no intention, and society will not permit this work to be extended to humans. Despite limitations, they treat this breakthrough a novel model system for scientists studying human biology and disease.（1）What do we know about the technology called SCNT?A. It created the first two primates.B. It may contribute to editing the DNAC. It can divide an early-stage embryo into several cells.D. It produced two cloned monkeys with different genes.（2）What does the author mean by “pouring water on the idea” in paragraph 2?A. Keeping a hot topic of it.B. Having a low opinion of it.C. Attaching no importance to it.D. Adding supportive evidence to it.（3）What is the scientists' purpose to clone these monkeys?A. To help with the study of human diseases.B. To serve as a stepping stone to their reputation.C. To prepare for their research on human cloning.D. To raise money for holding an exhibition of novels.（4）What can we infer from the passage?A. New techniques seem to be pointless.B. Cloning humans is already on its way.C. Society won't agree to clone another monkey.D. The success rate of cloning a monkey was not high.【答案】（1）B（2）B（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，科学家们利用高科技克隆猴子帮助研究人类疾病。

However, nobody was aware of what gave this fruit its unique smell, so a team of researchers from Singapore decided to take a look at its genome (基因组) and find out,Durian is well-known throughout Southeast Asia as the king of fruits, mostly because of its awful appearance and smell. However, the origin of this unpleasant smell was unknown, so researchers decided to map the genome of the fruit, and find the gene that controlled it. A group of genes, volatile sulfur compounds (含硫化合物), became very active in the fruit, and they were found responsible for resulting in the unpleasant smell.The fruit confuses everyone with a sulfuric smell, like rotten onions and ingredients. The smell lasts long, mostly because the fruit contains more volatile sulfur compounds. Other species usually benefit from two gene copies at most, but durian has four, leading to the striking smell.However, this smell might be an advantage for durian in the wild. Although we find it unpleasant, many animals might be attracted by it. If they eat the fruit, then they can easily spread its seeds everywhere, thus contributing to the distribution of the species.The mapping of the durian genome also showed some other information on the species. First of all, the fruit has an impressive number of genes, namely 46,000. Also, with the help of these genes, they saw how it evolved, and discovered it was related to the cacao tree. All the other discoveries have been published in the journal Nature Genetics.Despite the striking smell, many people actually enjoy eating the fruit. However, not all durian species are edible, and some of them may even cause damage to our health, Even so, the fruit is often imported, significantly contributing to the economy.（1）What give durian its unique smell?A. Onions nearby.B. Two gene copies.C. Rotten ingredients in it.D. Volatile sulfur compounds.（2）What does the underlin ed word “evolved” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Developed.B. Escaped.C. Predicted.D. Tolerated.（3）What can we infer from the text?A. No birds enjoy eating durian.B. Durian can be planted all over the world.C. Some of durian species can not be eaten.D. Durian has no relationship with the cacao tree.（4）What's the best title for the text?A. What's Durian?B. The Influence of the SmellC. The Distribution of DurianD.

（英语）高三英语阅读理解试题( 有答案和解析 )一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Japan has made a lot of noise in recent years about removing the traditional view that women should stay at home while men go out to work. So it was shocking when, on August 7th, Tokyo Medical University (TMU), a distinguished medical school, admitted marking down the testscores of female applicants to keep the ratio of women in each class below 30%.Their defence was that women are more likely to drop out to marry and have children. To judge female applicants to medical school purely on their academic performance would leave Japan with a shortage of doctors, they said. The admission has caused outrage."Doctoring has long been a male field. But it is not the only one. Discrimination is common in banks and trading firms, where stamina (耐力 ) and loyalty, qualities somehow associated with men, are prized," says Mari Miura, a political scientist at Sophia University. All this embarrasses a government that has promised to make women "shine". The policy seems based on the need for more workers rather than on genuine concern for women.Shinzo Abe, the prime minister, says he wants to bring millions more women into the workforceto make up for a labour shortfall caused by its ageing and declining population. In the field of politics, the record under Mr. Abe's premiership (首相任期 ) is disappointing. Just two members of his 20-strong cabinet are women, including Seiko Noda, in charge of women's rights. Ms. Noda, who makes little secret of her ambition to beat Mr. Abe in a leadership contest next month, has just published a book called "Grab the Future", her public declaration for pulling Japan into line with "global standards". She has almost no chance of winning.（1） According to the passage, what has aroused the public's shock and rage in Japan?A. Women being more likely to drop out of school to marry and have children.B. TMU judging female applicants to medical school merely on their test score.C. TMU putting a lower grade on female applicants to keep a low percentage of women in each class.D. Japan tending to abandon the traditional view that women should stay at home while men go out to work.（2） What do we know about Seiko Noda?A. She is quite likely to win the leadership contest.B. She never fails to show her ambition in public.C. She is the only female member in Abe's cabinet.D. Her newly released book "Grab the Future" is a bit hit.（3） What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Doctoring has long been a male field in Japan.B. Professions like banking and trading are tailored to men.C. Shinzo Abe performed poorly in dealing with labour shortfall.D. Discrimination against women in careers in Japan is a big concern.【答案】（1） C（2） B（3） D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇明文，介了最近的日本尤其是医大学女性性的歧，使社会一片然，一性歧象日本政府陷入窘境。

【英语】高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解The number of giraffes is becoming smaller across Africa, according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. The total population has dropped by 40 percent in the last 15 years. Surprisingly, even scientists haven't given much attention to giraffes. We are learning more about their ecology, but what we know is still way behind what we know about other species. "It's a silent extinction," said Dr. Julian Hennessy, a wildlife scientist."The main reason for the smaller number of giraffes is their loss of living places," said Hennessy, "as an increasing part of land is used for farming. But hunting also has a big influence." You might wonder why hunters would focus on giraffes. First of all, once a giraffe is brought down, there is lots of meat with a small amount of effort. Besides, there is another thing encouraging the hunting. In Tanzania, Hennessy says, the latest word on the street is that eating giraffe meat could cure AIDS. Fresh giraffe heads and bones can be sold at prices of up to $140 per piece.Another widespread misconception about giraffes is that they are everywhere. Look at kids' books which are full of giraffes. They are always in zoo collections. They can be seen easily, so you don't think we have to worry about them. But the truth is that they are in danger of extinction. There is a lack of right and true data.Hennessy and other researchers are now pulling together the data needed to improve the situation of the entire giraffe species and all nine subspecies (亚种). The information will be used to change the giraffe's listing on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, which now lists the species as of "least concern" but two subspecies as "endangered". "It's a lot of work to gather the necessary information," Hennessy says. "And several other giraffe subspecies will be recommended for endangered listings next year or the year after."

【英语】高三英语阅读理解题20 套( 带答案 ) 含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Scientists have discovered a "monster black hole" so massive that, in theory, it shouldn't exist. It's a stellar black hole —the type that forms after stars die, collapse, and explode. Researchers had previously believed that the size limit was no more than 20 times the mass of our sun because 8S these stars die, they lose most of their mass through explosions that expel matterand gas swept away by stellar windsThis theory has now been toppled by LB-1, the newly discovered black hole. Located about15.000 light years away, it has a mass 70 times greater than our sun, according to a press releasefrom the Chinese Academy of Sciences.The findings were published by Chinese researchers in the journal Nature on Wednesday. "Black boles of such mass should not even exist in our galaxy, according to most of the currentmodels of stellar evolution," said Liu Jifeng, head of the team that made the discovery. "LB-1 is twice as massive as what we thought possible. Now theorists will have to take up the challengeof explaining its formation."Scientists are now scratching their heads at how LB-1 got so huge.The Chinese team has proposed a number of theories. LB-1' sheer size suggests that it "was not formed from the collapse of only one star," the study said—instead, it could potentially be twosmaller black holes orbiting each other.Another possibility is that it formed from "fallback supermova." This is when a supernoma—the last stage of an exploding star —ejects material during the explosion, which then falls backinto the supernova, creating a black hole.This fallback formation is theoretically possible but scientists have never been able to prove or observe it. If this is how LB-1 formed, then we may have "direct evidence for this process" for the first time, the study said.There are several types of black holes and stellar black holes like LB-1 are on the smaller side,according to NASA. Supermassive black holes are much bigger — they can be billions of times themass of our sun,Scientists believe supermassive black holes may be connected to the formation of galaxies, as they often exist at the center of the mass star stems but it is still not clear exactly how, or which form first.（1） Why does the writer write the article?A.To report the great achievement Chinese scientists have made in black hole theory,B.To inform the readers of the basic knowledge about the black hole,C.To share with the readers the new development of the black hole discovery,D.To demonstrate the significance of discovering new black holes for science.（2） Which of the following about LB-1 is true to the passage?A.It is the biggest black hole ever discovered.B.It lost only a small part of its mass through explosion.C.It couldn't have been formed from the collapse of one star.D.Its discovery may lead to some breakthrough in the "fallback formation theory".（3） Which of the following is right according to the passage?A.If the sun in our galaxy dies some of its mass will be taken away by stellar winds.B.A massive supernova will be formed and then exploded if the sun in our galaxy dies.C."The Milky Way" was formed after a supermassive black hole collapsed and exploded.D.If "the Milky Way" dies, a supermassive black hole will be formed after its death.【答案】（ 1） C（2） D（3） A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，报道了科学家们已经发现了一个“巨型黑洞”，其质量之大，在理论上是不应该存在。

According to The New York Times, the fire began around 6: 30 p.m. local time, when tourists urgently rushed out of the building. While Andre Finot, a spokesman for the cathedral, told The Times, that the cause of the fire is still unknown and that no one has been hurt while damage to the building appears catastrophic（灾难性的）.CNN reports that over 400 firefighters have been sent to fight the fire, but that they may be unable to save the cathedral. Built in the 12th century, Notre-Dame houses several relics important to Catholics (天主教徒). NBC News reports that relics from Saint Genevieve and Saint Denis may been lost, together with a relic believed to be from Jesus Christ's crown of thorns, but it states that authorities now believe that the cathedral has been saved from “total destruction”. Notre-Dame is visited by a reported 30, 000 people a day and 13 million people per year. Its destruction represents a global cultural loss. "This is just horrible", Mohamed Megdoul, 33, a film producer and witness to the fire told The Times, speaking through tears. "A thousand years of history is being wiped away. This belonged to the whole world, and now it's disappearing."French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his sadness on Twitter. "Notre-Dame of Paris in flames," reads an English translation of his statement. "Emotion for a whole nation. Thoughts for all Catholics and for all the French.

质量之大，在理论上是不应该存在。但这个理论现在已经被新中国科学家发现的黑洞 LB-1 所推翻。科学家们现在正绞尽脑汁研究 LB-1 是如何变得如此巨大的，并介绍了几种可能性的理论。（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“Scien sts have discovered a ‘monster black hole’ so massive that, in theory, it shouldn't exist.” 可知，科学家们已经发现了一个“巨型黑洞”，其质量之大，在理论上是不应该存在；再根据第三段“This theory has now been toppled by LB-1, the newly discovered black hole. Located about 15.000 light years away, it has a mass 70 mes greater than our sun, according to a press release from tnhes eC hAi cademy of Sciences可.” 知，但这个理论现在已经被新中国科学家发现的黑洞 LB-1 所推翻。根据中国科学院的一份新闻稿，它位于 15000 光年之外，质量是太阳的 70 倍。所以判断出作者写这篇文章的目的是与读者分享黑洞发现的新进展，故选 C。（2）考查细节理解。根据倒数第三段中的 “If this is how LB-1 formed, then we may have‘direct evidence for this process’ for the ﬁrst m可e知.” ，如果这就是 LB-1 的形成过程，那么我们可能首次有了“这一过程的直接证据”。所以 LB-1 这一发现可能会给“后援形成理论”带来一些突破。故选 D。（3）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“because 8S these stars die, they lose most of their mass through explosions that expel ma er and gas swept away by stellar w可in知ds，.” 因为这些恒星会死亡，它们大部分质量因爆炸而损失，恒星风会把爆炸释放出来的物质和气体吹走。所以如果我们星系中的太阳死亡，它的一部分质量会被恒星风吹走。故选 A。【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇新闻报道，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。

高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Kyle Cassidy and three other members of the Annenberg Running Group were stretching on the grounds of the University of Pennsylvania, waiting for a few latecomers. The Penn colleagues and other community members meet three days a week for a roughly 30-minute jog and an occasional lecture. That's right― during some runs, one of them delivers a talk. Topics range from the brain to Bitcoin.But on this day last January, it would not be their normal run. The first clue that something was off was the man who sprinted past them. "Running at an amazing pace," Cassidy told Runner's World admiringly. Cassidy discovered why the sprinter was so fleet of foot when another man ran by, yelling, "Help! He took my phone and laptop!"At that, the group did what running clubs do: They ran, trailing the suspect down the streets of Philadelphia until he ducked into a construction site. The runners split up. Cassidy ran around to the far side of the site to cut the thief off while the others wandered the neighborhood hoping he had dumped the loot (赃物)in a backyard.No luck. So they decided to ask residents whether they'd seen the guy. When they knocked on the door of one row house, they were in for a surprise. Unknown to them, he had already emerged from the construction site—and was hiding behind a bush by that very house. As the owner opened the door, the suspect darted out from behind the bush ... and right into the arms of campus police, who'd joined the chase shortly behind the runners.The members of this running group are not hard-core athletes. But they do understand the benefit of a little exercise. ''Running is typically a useless sport where you turn fat cells into heat," Cassidy told The Philadelphia Inquirer. "But occasionally it can be useful, and here was one of those opportunities."（1）Why do the group members gather together?A.To do some stretching.B.To have a regular run.C.To deliver a lecture.D.To cover some topics.（2）What does the underlined word "sprinted" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Dashed.B.Pushed.C.Jumped.D.Escaped.（3）We can infer that the success of the chase is mainly due to____ .A.the assistance of the runnersB.the owner of the row houseC.the campus police on patrolD.the joint efforts of the people（4）Which of the following best describes Cassidy?A.Athletic and generous.B.Courageous and ambitious.C.Helpful and humorous.D.Thoughtful and demanding.【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了跑步俱乐部成员和校园警察等众人合力将抢了别人电话和笔记本电脑的嫌犯抓获的故事。

The rule forbids people from driving in the city one day each week and one Saturday each month. Electric vehicles, government service vehicles, public transport options and school buses are not included in the ban.Mexico City isn't the first urban center to be involved in car-free living. But the ban is more than an awareness-raiser. It was enacted with the direct aim of solving air pollution. In March, the city sank into a deep brown haze of smog when the pollution levels passed the 200 mark. The city ordered some 1.1m of the area's 4.7m cars off the streets and also offered free bus and subway rides.Mexico City's temporary vehicle ban raises questions about the best ways to improve urban air quality. India, whose citizens breathe some of the world's dirtiest air, has tried a variety of solutions. Earlier this year, the Indian government started a 4% sales tax on new-car purchases. Beijing also has experience with cleaning the air. The city introduced alternate-day rules in advance of the 2008 Olympic Games, which produced good results. And then there is the London congestion (拥挤) charge, introduced in 2003. The charge has had a measurable effect on air quality.For now, Mexico City — named by the United Nations as the most polluted city on the planet in 1992 — can look forward to the start of the region's rainy season, when daily showers will help lo clean the air.（1）How did Mexico ban vehicles in the city?A. By banning private and Federal vehicles one day a week.B. By forbidding private and public vehicles every Saturday.C. By limiting the number of new cars.D. By prohibiting the vehicles except public ones.（2）What did the government of Mexico do when carrying out the ban on vehicles?A. Raised the number of public vehicles.B. Offered free bus and subway rides.C. Introduced more travel options.D. Encouraged citizens to leave the city.（3）What may contribute to improving the air quality in Mexico?A. Alternate-day rules.B. Tax rises.C. Congestion charge.D. The rainy season.（4）What's the best title for the passage?A. Mexico —an Island PlateauB. A Variety of Bans on Vehicles in MexicoC. Should Cities Be Car-free ZonesD.

But the number of American students studying in Britain and Australia descended a little, even as the number of American students abroad rose by 8%. The growth came in non-English speaking European countries and in Asia. China is now the eighth most popular destination for American students, attracting nearly 6,400 in 2005, up 35% from the number of the year before. Argentina and India saw increases of more than 50%.Allan Goodman, president of the Institute of International Education, said that a range of factors contributed to the trend, from growing awareness of globalization after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, to programs such as former President Bush's National Security Language Initiative, which trains soldiers, intelligence officers and diplomats in foreign languages. “What Americans are doing is waking up and discovering there's a world out there,” he said.Other figures showed the flow of students in the opposite direction, from foreign countries into American universities. The institute found that international enrollment (入学) in American higher education remained steady at about 565,000. The figures are of keen interest to universities, which depend on foreign students for teaching and research help, and to policy-makers, who consider it important, as future foreign leaders may be familiar with the United States. The year of 2005 saw big increases in students from South Korea, Mexico and Taiwan of China. India sends the most students and China is No.2. Other countries that show large percentage increases in the number of students sent to the US include Nepal and Vietnam, while Japan, Turkey and Malaysia saw declines. About 58% of international students in the US come from Asia.（1）What does the underlined word “descended” in Paragraph 2 means?A. Changed.B. Declined.C. Multiplied.D. Increased.（2）Why do more American students study in Asia?A. They expect to get more teaching and research help.B. They lose confidence in English-speaking countries.C. They are afraid that terrorist attacks will happen again.D. They prefer to explore a different world from their own.（3）Where were most foreign students in America from in 2005?A. China.B. India.C.

And at , you can access lectures by artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.TED began in 1984 as a conference that brought together individuals from the fields of technology, entertainment and design. It was intended to be a one-time event focusing on technology and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the founders tried it again. This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual event. There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money. Other specialized spin-off conferences address narrower issues.The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to "offer free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers," as the website puts it. The current version of the site was launched in April 2007, and contains videos of talks given at the TED conferences around the world. The talks are transcribed into hundreds of languages.The TED website is owned by the Sapling Foundation, a non profit devoted to fostering the spread of great ideas. The Sapling foundation acquired TED in 2001. Since then, it has been focusing on using TED to broadcast ideas that might change the world.TED, of course, isn't immune to criticism. It's been called elitist(精英) for its high ticket prices (more than 6,000 dollars total). It's been accused by a few people of censorship for not publishing their talks. One controversial speaker was upset about being criticized by the conference's host afterward.The complaints, however, seem to be relatively few for such a large, long-running organization. And accusations of elitism ring hollow when so much is given away for free on TED's website. Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out.（1）What is the main topic of the article?A.The case against TEDB.What's on TED today.C.Pros and cons of .D.What is TED（2）Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.The TED conference came after the success of .B.Two TED conferences are now held every year.C.TED talks are available in many languages.D.The Sapling Foundation owns .（3）From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that ________.A.it is accepted to all involved that some TED talks might not be publishedB.the host of the conference is one who plays a supportive role to the speakersC.TED is criticized for giving special treatment to the wealthy or powerfulD.the negative comments on TED greatly affects its reputation（4）This author probably believes that________.A.TED is elitistB.TED is beneficialC.TED isn't importantD.TED is the best website【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了TED以及它的历史发展。
