II 完形填空，有答案与解析III语法填空，有答案与解析I阅读理解Peter Drucker, who died a year ago, was an expert on the ways of modern organizations. He was someone who truly earned the name of "management guru(管理大师)." He liked to share his knowledge not by answering questions but by asking them.Peter Drucker once said business people must ask themselves not "What do we want to sell?" but "What do people want to buy?" He taught at the Claremont Graduate School of Management in California for more than thirty years. He also advised companies. And he wrote for the Wall Street Journal opinion page for twenty years, until nineteen ninety-five. He commented on many economic and management issues.Peter Drucker was born in Austria in nineteen-oh-nine. In the late nineteen twenties, he worked as a reporter in Frankfurt, Germany.

He then came to the United States. He used his knowledge of international law to advise American businesses.

He also warned that rising wages were harming American business. He was later invited to study General Motors. He wrote about his experiences in the book "The Concept of the Corporation." In it, he said that workers at all levels should take part in decision-making, not just top managers.Peter Drucker was a voice for change and new ways of thinking about social and business relations.

2019届高考英语阅读理解限时训练题22
高三英语阅读理解限时训练（22）AValentine's Day is named for Saint Valentine, an early Christian churchman who reportedly helped young lovers．Valentine was killed for his Christian beliefs on February 14 more than 1,700 years ago, but the day that has his name is even earlier than that．More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers．As part of the celebration, girls wrote their names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container．Boys reached into the container and pulled one out．The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweet heart for a year．Lovers still put their names on pieces of paper and they send each other Valentine' s Day cards that tell of their love．Sometimes they also send gifts, like flowers or chocolate candy．Americans usually send these gifts and cards through the mail system．But some used another way to send this message．They have it printed in a newspaper．The cost is usually a few dollars．Some of the messages are simple and short, "Jane, I love you very much．" Others say more．This one, for example, "Don, roses are red．Violets are blue．I hope you love me as much as I love you．Forever, Mary．"Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local, but USA Today is sold throughout the United States and 90 other countries aswell．This means someone can send a Valentine message to a lover in a far-away city or town almost anywhere in the world．These messages cost 80 dollars and more．An employee of USA Today says readers can have a small heart or rose printed along with their messages this year．Will this kind of Valentine' s Day message reach the one you love?Well, just make sure he or she reads the newspaper．41．Which is true about Valentine's Day according to the text?A．Gifts are a must for the

1820．Nobody really knows．But we do know that Harriet Tubman was one of the bravest women ever born in the United States．From a very early age, Harriet knew how slaves suffered．At six years old, she was sent to the fields．Working outside not only made her body strong but also made her learn about the Underground Railroad, through which she helped hundreds of people escape from slavery later．She also learned many things from other slaves, which one day would help her lead her people to freedom．She became more of a rebel （叛逆者）．In 1844, at about age 24, she married a free black man named John Tubman．By now, Harriet was sure she wanted to try to escape．Suddenly, the time came．Her owner died．Though opposed by her husband, she decided to escape．With the help of the Underground Railroad, and through a variety of suffering she finally crossed the border into Pennsylvania, where slavery was banned （禁止）．Later, she told a friend, "I felt like I was in heaven．"Now that Harriet was free, she did not forget the hundreds of other slaves back in Maryland．Harriet traveled back and forth eighteen times, helping about 300 slaves escape into free territory．She became an expert at hiding from slave hunter．The people she helped called her Moses．At one time anyone finding Harriet was promised $40,000 for catching her —dead or alive．During the Civil War, Harriet Tubman went into enemy territory to spy for the North．She also served as a nurse．After four years of bloody fighting, the North won the war．After the fighting ended, Harriet Tubman returned to Auburn, New York．She kept working．She traveled and gave speeches to raise money for better education for black children．She also worked for women's rights and housing．Harriet Tubman died in 1913．She was about 93 years old．By

WarB．A history of American black slavesC．A brief introduction to Harriet TubmanD．Information on the Underground RailroadCMADRID （Reuters）—Spain' s parliament （国会）voiced its support on Wednesday for the rights of great apes （猿）to life and freedom．Parliament's environmental committee approved resolution （决议）urging Spain to carry out the Great Ape Project （GAP）, designed by scientists and philosophers who say our closest genetic relatives deserve rights limited to humans．"This is a historic day in the struggle for animal rights and in defense of our evolutionary comrades, which will doubtless go down in the history of humanity," said Pedro Poza, Spanish director of the Great Ape Project．The new resolution has cross-party support and it is thought they will become law within a year, making Spain the first nation to extend legal rights to apes．Under the new law, potential experiments on apes in Spain will be forbidden．"We have no knowledge of great apes being used in experiments in Spain, but there is currently no law preventing that from happening," Poza said．Keeping apes for circuses, television commercials or filming will also be forbidden．Housing apes in Spanish zoos, of which there are currently 315, will remain legal, but supporters of the bill have said the conditions in which most of them live will need to improve vastly．Philosophers Peter Singer and Paola Cavalieri founded the Great Ape Project in 1993, arguing that "non-human hominids（灵长类）" should enjoy the rights to life and freedom and not to be mistreated．49．The Great Ape Project was probably set up to ___．A．protect great apes' rights B．research the great ape societyC．save the endangered great apes D．study the development of the great apes50．What is Poza's attitude towards the

rights．C．The Great Apes Project did a good job．D．Experiments on apes will be forbiddenDLocated in the forests near the village of Harads in northern Sweden, the Treehotel opened its doors in the summer of 2018 and offers six guestrooms．Owners, Britta and Kent Lindvall, invited designers and architects to create a series of unique tree houses that reflect the growing popularity of ecologically-themedholidays．There's the Mirrorcube, a 4x4x4 meter aluminum box in mirrored glass．Accessed via a footbridge, the Cabin is suspended （悬吊）from the surrounding pines on a steep bank, affording views of the Lulea River．Both these rooms sleep two people while the Nest （covered in branches）, the Blue Cone （which is actually painted red）and the UFO （a spaceship skewered by pines）all have enough room to sleep a family of four．The Treehotel was built after they saw a 2018 Swedish documentary （记录片）called "Tradalskaren" （The Tree Lover）that tells the story of three men who build a tree house near Harads in an attempt to rediscover their rural roots after years of living in a city．The Lindvalls, who already owned and ran a nearby guesthouse, saw the chance to create a different kind of holiday experience．"When the film was over, interest in the original tree house grew so we decided to build our own, closer to our place," Kent Lindvall said．"The plan for next year is five new rooms．We also plan to build a chapel so people can get married up there．"Open all year round, the Treehotel might attract only the hardest ofsouls during the winter as temperatures typically dip to around minus 15 degrees Celsius．But brave travelers will be rewarded with stunning snowy landscapes as well as a "Three Sauna" and under-floor heating in every room delivered by renewable energy．53．Britta and Kent Lindvall opened the Treehotel to ___．A．protect forestsB．introduce excellent ideas of designersC．provide a peaceful lifestyle for citizensD．meet the tourists' demand for getting close to nature 54．Which of the following rooms suits a couple most?A．The Cabin．B．The UFO．C．The Nest．D．The Blue Cone．55．What can we learn about "Tradalskaren ?A．It introduces the way of building treehotels．B．It is about experience of returning to nature．C．It aims to attract holidaymakers to the Treehotel．D．It is about Britta and Kent Lindvall's life experience．56．What does the underlined part "the hardest of souls" refer to?A．Hard-working couples．B．Strong-willed peopleC．Skilled travelers．D．The youth．E"Good fences make good neighbors", the television commentator said, misquoting Robert Frost for the millionth time in my memory．It made me wonder if the poet was not looking down from Heaven and sadly shaking his head．No line of poetry has ever been more misused in history than that one．It comes from Frost' s great poem Mending Wall．In it he writes of him and his neighbor repairing the broken stone wall that divides their property （财产）．Frost questions why they are doing so, because there are no animals that need fencing in．He sees as well that the wall is a symbol of the barriers （障碍）that people create to separate themselves from each other．He wisely writes that, "Before I built a wall I'd ask to know what I was walling in or walling out, and to whom I was like to give offence （冒犯）．'Something there is that doesn't love a wall, that wants it down'．"His neighbor, however, who Frost describes as a "stone savage" who "moves in darkness" refuses to part from the ways of his forefathers and goes along foolishly with their belief that "Good fences make good neighbors．"I wonder if Mr．Frost would have ever written his poem if he had known that the line he wrote in irony （讽刺）would be used again andagain to encourage what he was so against．Perhaps he would have written a different one about tearing down the fences that separate us and breaking apart the walls that hide our hearts from each other．Either way, we should embrace the wisdom he shared with us．Fences and walls separate us from each other．We need to take them down stone by stone, walk through them, and embrace each other in joy．We need to love our neighbors．We need to see that good fences DO NOT make good neighbors．They just make lonely hearts．57．What can we say about the author from the text?A．He thinks highly of Frost' s poems．B．He has a low opinion of Frost's neighbor．C．He looks down upon the TV commentator．D．He is anxious about the misunderstanding of Frost's idea．58．What does the wall in Frost's poem stand for according to the author?A．Broken fences．B．Quarrels with neighbors．C．The distance between neighbors．D．The insisting on the forefathers' belief．59．Frost wrote "Good fences make good neighbors" while he thought ___．A．it was wise to have no fenceB．neighbors should be good onesC．fences played an important roleD．bad fences made bad neighbors60．The author wrote the last paragraph to ___．A．say Frost was a wise manB．express his admiration for FrostC．call on us to tear down the fences in our heartD．encourage people to read Frost' s poems in a right way。
英语真题阅读理解试题及名师解析(22)
英语真题阅读理解试题及名师解析（22）Americans today don’t place a very high value on intellect. Our heroes are athletes, entertainers, and entrepreneurs, not scholars. Even our schools are where we send our children to get a practical education—not to pursue knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Symptoms of pervasive anti-intellectualism in our schools aren’t difficult to find.“Schools have always been in a society where practical is more important than intellectual,”says education writer Diane Ravitch. “Schools could be a counterbalance.”Rav itch’s latest bock, Left Back:A Century of Failed School Reforms, traces the roots of anti-intellectualism in our schools, concluding they are anything but a counterbalance to the American distaste for intellectual pursuits.But they could and should be. Encouraging kids to reject the life of the mind leaves them vulnerable to exploitation and control. Without the ability to think critically, to defend their ideas and understand the ideas of others, they cannot fully participate in our democracy. Continuing along this path, says writer Earl Shorris,“We will become a second-rate country. We will have a less civil society.”“Intellect is resented as a form of power or privilege,”writes historian and professor Richard Hofstadter in Anti-Intellectualism in American Life, a Pulitzer Prize winning book on the roots of anti-intellectualism in US politics, religion, and education. From the beginning of our history, says Hofstadter, our democratic and populist urges have driven us to reject anything that smells of elitism. Practicality, common sense, and native intelligence have been considered more noble qualitiesthan anything you could learn from a book.Ralph Waldo Emerson and other Transcendentalist philosophers thought schooling and rigorous book learning put unnatural restraints on children: “We are shut up in schools and college recitation rooms for 10 or 15 years and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing.”Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn exemplified American anti-intellectualism. Its hero avoids being civilized—going to school and learning to read—so he can preserve his innate goodness.Intellect, according to Hofstadter, is different from native intelligence, a quality we reluctantly admire. Intellect is the critical, creative, and contemplative side of the mind. Intelligence seeks to grasp, manipulate, re-order, and adjust, while intellect examines, ponders, wonders, theorizes, criticizes and imagines.School remains a place where intellect is mistrusted. Hofstadter says our country’s educational system is in the grips of people who “joyfully and militantly proclaim their hostility to intellect and their eagerness to identify with children who show the least intellectual promise.”36. What do American parents expect their children to acquire in school?[A] The habit of thinking independently.[B] Profound knowledge of the world.[C] Practical abilities for future career.[D] The confidence in intellectual pursuits.37. We can learn from the text that Americans have a history of[A] undervaluing intellect.[B] favoring intellectualism.[C] supporting school reform.[D] suppressing native intelligence.38. The views of Ravish and Emerson on schooling are[A] identical. [B] similar. [C] complementary. [D] opposite.39. Emerson, according to the text, is probably[A] a pioneer of education reform. [B] an opponent of intellectualism.[C] a scholar in favor of intellect. [D] an advocate of regular schooling.40. What does the author think of intellect?[A] It is second to intelligence. [B] It evolves from common sense. [C] It is to be pursued. [D] It underlies power.名师解析36. What do American parents expect their children to acquire in school?美国的父母期望他们的孩子在学校里面学到什么?[A] The habit of thinking independently. 独立思考的习惯。

高考英语阅读理解专题训练极品题(22)及答案
2014高考英语阅读理解专题训练极品题（22）及答案C7[2013·天津卷] ----CPoet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals.I like this image.But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise in nine hours.We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky，so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to.We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was born.He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise.I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me.My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through.We took the country roads out of necessity.We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him.The kids chased him and one another.They'd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist－high grass.Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway.Here was life.And new horizons(见识)．We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique.On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling.I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead.I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight.But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of journey—and the best part of yourself.46．Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents' home?A．It was less tiring.B．It would be faster and safer.C．Her kids would feel less confined.D．She felt better with other drivers nearby.47．The author stopped regularly on the country roads to ________．A．relax in the fresh airB．take a deep breathC．take care of the lambD．let the kids play with Banner48．What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?A．Freeways are where beauty hides.B．Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.C．Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health.D．One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.49．Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?A．To give herself some time to read.B．To order some food for them.C．To play a game with them.D．To let them cool down.50．What could be the best title for the passage?A．Charm of the DetourB．The Road to BraveryC．Creativity out of NecessityD．Road Trip and Country Life【要点综述】本文是一篇记叙文。
高二英语阅读训练题及答案
高二英语阅读训练题及答案高二英语阅读训练题(一)The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the worlds supply of water. With 97% of the worlds water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of water needs careful management, especially in agriculture. Although the idea of a water shortage(短缺)seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfull country, many of the worlds agricultural industries experience constant water shortages.Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seaons, the costs of water redistribution(重新安排)are very high. Notonly is there the cost of the engineering itself, but there is also an environmental cost to be considered. Where valleys(山谷)are flooded to create dams, houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed. Besides, water many flow easily through pipes to fields,but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other. Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements.This is particularly troubling ro countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation(浇灌). In Texas, farmers overuse of irrigation water be resulted in a 25% redcution of the water stores. In theCentral Valley area of south eastern USA, a huge water engineering project provided water for farming in dry vallege, but much of the water use has been poorly managed.Saudi Arabias attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have been the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation water from underground reserves. Because there is no rainfall in these areas, such reserves can only decrease, and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry.73. From the first two paragraphs we learnt that _______.A.much of the worlds water is available for useB.people in high rainfll countries feel luckyC.the costs of water redistribution should be consideredD.water can be easily carried through pipes across the world73.Which of the following is true?A.The water in Texas have been reduced by 75%.B.Most industries in the world suffer from water shortagers.C.The underground water in Saudi Arabia might run out in 50 years.D.Good management of water use resulted from the project in the Central Valley.74.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragreh that follows?A.Steps to improving water use managet.B.Ways tor redjuce the costs of builing dams.C.Measured to dmal with worldwide water shortages.D.Appmihes to handling the pressure on water supply.75.The text is mainly about .A.water supply and increasing populationB.water use management and agricultureC.water redistribution and wildlife protectionD.water shornages and environmental protection.高二英语阅读训练题答案73.C 73.C 74.A 75.B高二英语阅读训练题(二)My father was 44 and knew he wasnt going to male it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.Since the day 1 was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in mybeart. One it aways times out. Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one hay, you will do something great that will set you among the very best. Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. You will do something great. He didnt know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when Ive felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask. Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going?A long way frim 12 now, I realize hew would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, thongn. Ive come to believe hed want me to move on to winat com next: to be nrood of and believe in, somebody else. Its time to start writing my own letters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids dont hold back because theyre afraid to fail. Theyre only afraid of failing us. They dont worry about being disappointed. Their fear-as mine was until my fathers letter-is of being a disappointment.Give your chikdren permission to succeed. Theyre witing for you to believe in them. I always knew way parents loved me. But trust my That elic will be more comlece, that love will be more real, and their belief in the nelces whi be greater if you write the words on their hearts; Dont worry; youll do something great.

高中英语考点专题22 阅读理解(环境保护类)(解析版)
专题22 阅读理解（环境保护类）1.C【2019·浙江卷】California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick Mclntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, Mclntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).Since the 1930s, Mclntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.27. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B. The increasing variety of California big trees.C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.28. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?A. Ecological studies of forests.B. Banning woodcutting.C. Limiting housing development.D. Fire control measures.29. What is a major cause of the water shortage according to Mclntyre?A. Inadequate snowmelt.B. A longer dry season.C. A warmer climate.D. Dampness of the air.30. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. California's Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California SoonC. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D. Patrick Mclntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California【答案】27. A 28. D 29. C 30. A【解析】文章主要讲述了美国加利福尼亚州的森林面临着的巨大危机，大型树木在急剧减少，作者阐述了现象，并分析了其原因。

The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).Since the 1930s, Mclntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.27. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B. The increasing variety of California big trees.C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.28. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?A. Ecological studies of forests.B. Banning woodcutting.C. Limiting housing development.D. Fire control measures.29. What is a major cause of the water shortage according to Mclntyre?A. Inadequate snowmelt.B. A longer dry season.C. A warmer climate.D. Dampness of the air.30. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. California's Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California SoonC. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D. Patrick Mclntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California【答案】27. A 28. D 29. C 30. A【解析】文章主要讲述了美国加利福尼亚州的森林面临着的巨大危机，大型树木在急剧减少，作者阐述了现象，并分析了其原因。

落堕市安心阳光实验学校2014高考英语阅读理解训练题（14）附答案We've all experienced a "good cry". Shedding (流) some tears can often make us feel better and help us put things in perspective. But why is crying beneficial? And is there such a thing as a "bad cry"?The researchers analyzed the detailed accounts of more than 3,000 recent crying experiences and found that the benefits of crying depend entirely on the what, where and when of a particular crying episode (一段经历). The majority of persons reported improvements in their mood following a short period of crying. However, one third reported no improvement in mood and a tenth felt worse after crying. Criers who received social support during their crying episode were the most likely to report improvements in mood.Research to date has not always produced a clear picture of the benefits of crying, in part because the results often seem to depend on how crying is studied. The researchers note several challenges in accurately studying crying behavior in a laboratory setting. Volunteers who cry in a laboratory setting often do not describe their experiences as making them feel better. Rather, crying in a laboratory setting often results in the study participants feeling worse; this may be due to the stressful conditions of the study itself, such as being videotaped or watched by researchers. This may produce negative emotions, which neutralize (使无效) the positive benefits usually connected with crying.However, these laboratory studies have provided interesting findings about the physical effects of crying. Criers do show calming effects such as slower breathing, but they also experience a lot of unpleasant stress, including increased heart rate and sweating. What is interesting is that bodily calming usually lasts longer than the unpleasant. The calming effects may occur later and overcome the stress reaction, which would account for why people tend to remember mostly the pleasant side of crying.Research has shown that the effects of crying also depend on who is shedding the tears. For example, individuals with anxiety or mood disorders are least likely to experience the positive effects of crying. In addition, the researchers report that people who lack insight into their emotional lives actually feel worse after crying.12. We can infer from the passage that __________________.A. people don't like being seen cryingB. crying in public makes people feel betterC. a bad cry is as common as a good cryD. a good cry can sometimes help us face problems rightly13. The beneficial effects of crying can be shown when _________.A. your breath becomes slowB. you sweat a lot.C. your face turns paleD. you are being watched14. Who will be least likely to feel worse after crying?A. People who receive help in course of crying.B. People who fail to understand their emotions.C. People who are anxious and nervous.D. People whose mood is not in order.15. The passage is mainly about ___________.A. the types of cryingB. the way of cryingC. the psychology of cryingD. the causes of crying参考答案DAAC****************************************************结束高考英语二轮复习专题训练：阅读理解（49）Many people enjoy an adventure story. Others like mysteries that lead the reader to an exciting discovery. The story of the young British naturalist Charles Darwin combines both of these. That is why the author and illustrator (插图画家)Rosalyn Schanzer chose to write the children's book “What Darwin Saw”. The book was published just in time for the 200th anniversary of Charle s Darwin’s birth on February 12, 1809.Rosalyn Schanzer carefully gathered Darwin’s thoughts and observations from his diaries, letters and books. Many of the words in the book are Darwin’s own. She also traveled to the Galapagos Islands and South America. She researched some of the places Darwin had visited on his trip on the ship, the Beagle in the 1830s. She took thousands of pictures, which helped her create the book’s beautiful and colorful drawings. These pictures show young readers what led Darwin to form his great discovery: the evolution of species through natural selection.“What Darwin Saw” tells of the adventures of a young man who traveled around the world as a scientist. The voyage of the Beagle took Charles Darwin to South America, where he rode horses with cowboys and met Native Americans in Argentina. He reported the eruption of the Osorno Volcano and experienced an earthquake in Chile. Darwin’s observations showed him that environments can change very quickly and a great deal over time.Rosalyn Schanzer brings to life the clues that suggested to Darwin that living things evolve, or change, over time. She illustrates the unusual tortoises, birds and lizards that Darwin studied in the Galapagos Islands. She shows how Darwin came to understand that these island animals had differences, developed over time, that helped them survive. And she explains the theory of evolution through natural selection ina way that both children and adults will enjoy.5. Who is "What Darwin Saw" intended for?A. Parents.B. Teachers.C. Researchers.D. Children.6. “What Darwin Saw” mainly focuses on __________.A. how Darwin made his voyage to South AmericaB. what led Darwin to form the theory of evolutionC. when Darwin left home and began his expeditionD. where Darwin explored the living things in nature7. Rosalyn Schanzer took thousands of pictures in order to _________.A. provide materials for her new bookB. keep track of the places she visitedC. find out what interested young DarwinD. enjoy the beautiful scenery later8. Which of the following statements is NOT true about “What Darwin Saw”?A. Its author bases her writing on careful research.B. It includes many pictures of various species.C. It is intended to present Darwin's life story.D. It was published in honor of Charles Darwin.参考答案-------(B) DBAC*********************************************************结束故事类---（二）[2012·西安一检]Wherever she goes, Molly leaves her mark.

Rankin asked sixty-eightindividuals to keep an accurate, detailed record of what they did every minute of their wakinghours. He discovered that70percent of their waking time was spent on one thing only-communication. Put that evidence alongside the research findings uncovered by theHuman Engineering Laboratories, they discovered that, vocabulary, more than any other factoryet known, predicts financial success. New words make us better thinkers as well as communicators. What better reason for beginning right now to extend yourvocabulary？But how？Hybrid corn combines the bestqualities of several varieties to ensure maximum productivity. A hybrid approach to vocabulary should, in the same way, ensure maximum results. That’s why you should use the CPD formula.Through Context. When students in a college class were asked what should be donewhen they came across an unknown word in their reading, 84percent said, “Look it up in thedictionary. “If you do, however, you short-circuit the verymental processes needed to make your efforts most productive.But there’s another reason. Suppose someone asks you what the word “fast” means. You answer, “speedy or swift”. But does it mean that in such context as “fast color “or”fast friend”？And if a horse is fast, is it securely tied or galloping at top speed？It could be either. It all depends. On the dictionary？No, on the context. After all, there are over twenty different meanings for “fast” inthe dictionary. But the dictionary doesn’ttell you which meaning is intended. That’s why it makes suchgood sense to beginwith context.Through Word Parts. Now for the next step. Often unfamiliar wordscontain one or more parts, which, if recognized, provide definite help withmeaning. Take the word “monolithic”for example. Try to separate the parts. There is the prefix mono-, meaning “one”, and the root-lith, meaning “stone”. Finally, there’s the suffix-ic, meaning “consisting of”. Those three parts add up to this definition：”consisting of one stone”.To speed up your use of word parts, you will be introduced to the fourteen most important words in theEnglish language. The prefix and rootelements in those few words are found in over 14, 000words. With those amazingly usefulshortcuts, you can build up vocabulary, not at a snail’s pace, one word at a time, but in giant leaps, up to a thousand words at atime.Through the Dictionary. Now you can see why you should consult the dictio nary last, not first. You’ve looked carefully atthe context. You’ve looked for familiarword parts. Now you play Sherlock Homes. In light of context or word parts, you try to solve a mystery. What exactly does that strange word mean? Only after you go through the mental gymnastics to come up with atentative （不确定的）definition should you openthe dictionary to see if you’re right.You are now personally involved. Your increased interest will lead to a better memory of both wordand meaning. It also encourages yourdevelopment of the habits needed to accelerate your progress. And when you see in black and white the definition you hadexpected, what a feelingofaccomplishment is yours. In that way, the CPD Formula provides the exact approaches for maximumeffectiveness.Well, there it is, your new formula-Context, Parts, Dictionary. Use it! The results will belike the money in the bank.（1）The research findings of the Human Engineering Laboratories show that ______ .A . intelligence and vocabularies are closely relatedB . income and vocabularies are closely relatedC . people of large vocabularies are bound to succeed in the futureD . voc abulary is of great importance to a student’s academic performance（2）What would most college students do while coming across an unfamiliar word？______A .

Just three years later, the amount was almost doublethat.Astudy of six big-city Ohio public schools showed students who were required towear uniforms had improved graduation, behavior and attendance rates. Academicperformance was unchanged.Somehigh schools in Texas have also joined in the movement. Yet studies find mixedresults from requiring uniforms. And some schools have turned away from suchpolicies.Supportersbelieve dressing the same creates a better learning environment and saferschools. The school district in Long Beach, California, was the first in thecountry to require uniforms in all elementary and middle schools. The examplehelped build national interest in uniforms as a way to deal with schoolviolence and improve learning.Findingsin Long Beach suggested that the policy resulted in fewer behavior problems andbetter attendance. But researcher Viktoria, who has looked at those findings, saysthey were based only on opinions about the effects of uniforms.Shesays other steps taken at the same time to improve schools in Long Beach andstatewide could have influenced the findings. The district increased punishments for misbehavior. And California passeda law to reduce class sizes.InFlorida, for example, researcher Sharon found that uniforms seemed to improvebehavior and reduce violence. In Texas, Eloise found fewer disciplineproblemsamong students required to wear uniforms, but no effect on attendance.SociologistDavid has studied school uniform policies since1998. He collected the reportsin the book. In his own study, he found that reading and mathematicsperformance dropped after a school in Pennsylvania required uniforms.Politicaland community pressures may persuade schools to go to uniforms to improvelearning. But David and others believe there is not enough evidence of a directrelationship. In fact, he says requiring uniforms may even increase disciplineproblems.（1）Which of the following researchers are NOT supporters of school uniform policies?A . Viktoria and Sharon.B . Sharon and David.C . Eloise and Sharon.D . Viktoria and David.（2）The underlined word “misbehavior” in the sixth paragraph probably means ________.A . serious crimeB . bad performanceC . absence for classD . action against wearing uniforms（3）What can we infer from the passage?A . More work is needed to get better information about uniform’s effect.B . The number of schools requiring uniforms in the U.S. will become less sharply.C . Wearing uniforms has little to do with behavior and learning.D . Politicians and communities won’t vote for uniform policies.（4）What’s the main idea of this passage?A . More and more students are required to wear uniforms in the U.S.B . Wearing uniforms contributes to good academic performance.C . Researchers in the U.S. argue for school uniform policies.D . Evidence for school uniform polices in the U.S. is seen as weak.4. 阅读理解So many of us hold on to little complaintsthat may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful event. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else toreach out to us-believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindlea friendship or family relationship.A friend of mine, recently told me that she hadn’t spoken to her son in almost threeyears. She said that she and herson had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to himagain unless he called first. When I suggested that shebe the one to reach out, she said, “I can’t do that. He’s the one who shouldapologize. “After a little gentleencouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful forher willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reachesout, everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we tum “small stuff”into really” bigstuff” in our minds. We start to believe thatour positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a morepeaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never moreimportantthan allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be ri ght. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peaceof letting go, as well as the joy ofletting others be right.You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right”, they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason theydon’t, that’s okay too. You’ll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have doneyour part to create a more loving world, and certainly you’ll be more peaceful you rself.（1）The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means” ______ .A . recoverB . developC . acceptD . replace（2）In the author’s opinion, we hold on to our anger often because we think ______ .A . we can turn small issues into big onesB . our happiness is more importantC . our own opinions matter mostD . others will be less defensive （3）The best thing to do after a quarrel is to ______ .A . let go of our own fightsB . realize that you are wrongC . expect others to give inD . apologize to others first（4）What would be the best tittle for the passage？A . Be PeacefulB . Reach Out and GiveC . Small and Big StuffD . Enjoy Your Friendship二、任务型阅读5. 任务型阅读“You are what you eat,” goes anEnglish saying. But actually, you are what you drink. Why?

It‟s called Apple Day but in practice it‟s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it 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 Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. 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 of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you‟ll need a warm, sheltered place with perf ect 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 best suit 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, near Faversham in Kent.41. 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.42. 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.43. What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3mean?A. A practical idea.B. A vain hope.C. A brilliant plan.D. A selfish desire.44. 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.B (2016全国3D)Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored (监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people‟s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The …if it bleeds‟ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah B erger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don‟t care how you‟re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don‟t want them to think of youas a Debbie Downer.”Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication —e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations — found that it tended to be more positive than negative (消极的), but that didn‟t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news sha red more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times‟ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times‟ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused (激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”45. What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?A. News reports.B. Research papers.C. Private e-mails.D. Daily conversations.46. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?A. They‟re socially inactive.B. They‟re good at telling stories.C. They‟re inconsiderate of others.D. They‟re careful with t heir words.47. Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger‟s research?A. Sports news.B. Science articles.C. Personal accounts.D. Financial reviews.48. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Sad Stories Travel Far and WideB. Online News Attracts More PeopleC. Reading Habits Change with the TimesD.

高二英语阅读训练（ 22）AWhat am I doing with my daughter at home﹖Rather than read books aloud, we go to dinner and have a very good time． This is usually when her Mom isn't around, and this is when my little girl and I relate better ． They're alone together so much ． We're seldom alone． When we're alone together, she and I somehow behave differently ． We learn about each other． She learns that I'm her father． I learn that she's my daughter ． It's a strange feeling, but any parent knows what I'm talking about when I say that I often look at my daughter and wonder just whose kid she is ．Wheredid she suddenly come from ﹖ And why on earth did she pick Laura and me for parents ﹖ When my daughter and I are alone, she'll hold my hand and say,“ I just love you so much, Daddy, ”She's so used to my leaving that when I tell her she and I are going to hang out all night, she gets this great look on her face and says, “We've got so much to do, Dad, ” There's nothing like it in the world ．I want my relationship with my daughter to keep growing, so I've been giving my wife a coupleof hundred dollars each week and making her go to the shopping center with her girlfriends, or something — anything.But this closeness is not without its problems ． When I'm sitting there playing with her Barbie doll ( 巴比娃娃 ) washing her hair, a voice in me suddenly says, “ I've got to get a drink and get out of here．” Right in the middle of all this pleasantness, the voice goes“ Look at yourself, You're washing dolls. ”1． Why does the husband give his wife so much money each week ﹖A ． He wants her to buy more things for the family．B ． She can do whatever she likes with the money ．C． He can spend more time alone together with his daughter ．D ． She can spend more time with her friends ．2． Which of the following statements is TRUE﹖A ． The father spends more time with the daughter than the mother does ．B ． The daughter is happy when the father tells her he will be away ．C． The father is happy-hearing“ We've got so much to do, Dad,”D ． The father is sure that the daughter is not his own ．3． What does the last paragraph tell us about the father ﹖A ． He doesn't enjoy being with his daughter ．B ． He likes to enjoy himself by going out for a drink．C． He doesn't like washing his daughter's hair ．D ． He has mixed feelings when he is with his daughter ．BThe soldiers had just moved to the desert, and as they had never been in such a place before, they had a lot to learn ．As there were no trees or buildings in the desert, it was, of course, very hard to hide their trucks from enemy planes ． The soldiers were, therefore, given training in camouflage(假装)．They were shown how to paint their trucks in irregular patterns with pale green yellow and brown paints, and then to cover them with nets to which they had tied small pieces of cloth．The driver of the biggest truck had a lot of trouble camouflaging it．He spent several hourspainting it， preparing a net and searching for some heavy rocks with which to hold the net down ． When he came back from his meal,he was surprised and worried to see that his camouflage was completely spoilt( 毁掉 ) by the truck's shadow, which was growing longer and longer as the afternoon advanced． He stood looking at it, not knowing what to do．Soon an officer arrived, and he, too, saw the shadow, of course．“ Well, don't just stand there doing nothing, ” said theofficer ．“ What shall I do, sir ﹖” asked the poor driver ．“ Get your spade (锹) and throw some sand over the shadow, of course, ” answered the officer ．4． From the passage we can know that＿＿＿＿＿．A ． there were a lot of trees where the soldiers were sta tionedB ． the soldiers were staying in an area far from the ene my planesC． the soldiers knew nothing about the desertD ． the soldiers had lived in the desert before5． Which of the following is TRUE﹖A ． The nets with which they covered their trucks were made of small pieces of cloth．B ． The soldiers tied small pieces of cloth to the nets with which they covered their trucks．C． The nets covering the trucks were painted pale green yellow and brown ．D ． The trucks were tied to the nets with small pieces of cloth ．6． One of the soldiers was surprised and worried because ＿＿＿＿＿．A ． his truck had cast a shadow in the sun and the ene my planes would find itB ． the shadow of his truck was growing longer at noonC． it was late in the afternoon and he could not get rid of the shadowD ． his newly painted truck was in the shadow7． Why didn't he see the shadow at first ﹖ Because＿＿＿＿．A ． he was carelessB ． it was in the late afternoonC． it was noon when he finished the camouflage D． the shadow on the sand was invisible 8． What do you think of the ending of the story ﹖A ． It is quite reasonable that the officer ordered the sol dier to cover the shadow with sand．B ． It is where the humor lies ．C． Though the officer's order sounded wise, the soldier couldn't cover the shadow ．D ． The soldier managed to cover the shadow with sand ．CIf humans could be content to live on a lowest necessary diet with only crude shelter and some simple covering for the body, the economic problem could be settled with the minimum (最小值) of social organization ． But the truth is that human needs increase as fast as our means of satisfying them． Today's needs were the luxuries (豪侈 ) of the last century． The things we dream about may be accepted as commonplace in the future．Shelter today means more than having a roof overhead ． Choice of a home revolves ( 从各个角度考虑 ) around such issues as house size, the number of bedrooms and baths, playroom and the type of neighborhood ．It is so easy to meet basic needs today that we work also to have luxuries and to impress otherswith our wealth ． Also we want to be sure that our children will be well off and that we will have savings for old age．In addition to our own endless personal wants, there are others which require spending by largesocial groups to which we belong, namely clubs, churches and government． Through such agencies (代理机构 ) we seek to satisfy our wants for playgrounds, finer churches, better schools, the best textbooks, a good water supply,hospitals and clinics, up-to-date libraries, improved streets and highways, and national prestige ( 名誉 ) in space exploration ． Indeed, when all our private and public wants are combined ( 归并 ) they come to a total so large that we can only conclude that human wants are unlimited ．9． What is the main idea of the passage﹖A ． Human needs increase endlessly．B ． It is easier to meet basic needs today than before．C． Personal wants are endless but public needs can be met．D ． When our private and public wants are combined, we will be satisfied．10． The underlined phrase “ crude shelter” in the passage means ＿＿＿＿＿．A ． shabby clothesB ． basic wantsC． beautiful and big house D． simple house11． When we combine our personal and public wants＿＿＿＿．B ． we may arrive at the conclusion that human needs are endlessC． we may raise our national prestige in the international affairsD ． we have to work hard to earn enough money for better living conditionsDI was in a strange city I didn't know at all, and what's more, I could not speak a word of the language． On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on ． The first two hours passed pleasantly enough ． Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch ． After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way． The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly．I stopped to ask a newspaper seller ． He handed me a paper． I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands． I had to give him some money and went on my way ． The next person I asked was a policeman ． He listened to me carefully nodded and gently took me by the arm ． There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again ． I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed ．About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me ． I had come all the way into the countryside ． Theonly thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station．12． The writer preferred to walk back to his hotel because＿＿＿＿＿．A ． he had no money to buy a ticketB ． he wanted to lose himself in the cityC． he tried to know the city in this way D． it was late and there were no buses passing by 13． The newspaper seller ＿＿＿＿．A ． didn't know where the hotel wasB ． didn't understand what the writer saidC． could understand what the writer said D． didn't want to take the money from the writer 14． From the story we know that the policeman＿＿＿＿．A ． was kind but didn't understand the writer B． told the writer where to take a trainC． knew what the writer really meant D． was cold hearted and didn't help the writer 15． What can we learn from the last paragraph ﹖A ． The writer got close to the hotel where he stayed ．B ． The writer got to the hotel with the policeman's help．C． The writer found he was much farther away from the hotel．D ． The writer found the hotel in the direction the police man pointed．16． In your opinion what was the writer's real trouble ﹖A ． He didn't know the city at all ．B ． He couldn't speak the language．C． He went too far in the wrong bus ．D． He followed the policeman's direction ．EA new era ( 纪元 ) is upon us ． Call it what you will, the service economy, the information age, the knowledge society ． It all translates to a basic change in the way we work．Already we are there now ． The percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen fortunately in the Western World ． Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan,two thirds or more in many of these countries, are in the service industry, and the number is on therise． More women are in the workforce than ever before ． There are more part-time jobs ． More people are self-employed ． But the wideness of the economic change can't

高二英语阅读训练(22) -CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1高二英语阅读训练（22）AWhat am I doing with my daughter at home﹖ Rather than read books aloud, we go to dinner and have a very good time． This is usually when her Mom isn't around, and this is when my little girl and I relate better． They're alone together so much． We're seldom alone． When we're alone together, she and I somehow behave differently． We learn about each other． She learns that I'm her father． I learn that she's my daughter． It's a strange feeling, but any parent knows what I'm talking about when I say that I often look at my daughter and wonder just whose kid she is．Where did she suddenly come from﹖ And why on earth did she pick Laura and me for parents﹖ When my daughter and I are alone, she'll hold my hand and say,“I just love you so much, Daddy,” She's so used to my leaving that when I tell her she and I are going to hang out all night, she gets this great look on her face and says, “We've got so much to do, Dad,” There's nothing like it in the world．I want my relationship with my daughter to keep growing, so I've been giving my wife a couple of hundred dollars each week and making her go to the shopping center with her girlfriends, or something — anything.But this closeness is not without its problems． When I'm sitting there playing with her Barbie doll (巴比娃娃) washing her hair, a voice in me suddenly says, “I've got to get a drink and get out of here．” Right in the middle of all this pleasantness, the voice goes“Look at yourself, You're washing dolls.”1．Why does the husband give his wife so much money each

daughter．B． He likes to enjoy himself by going out for a drink．C． He doesn't like washing his daughter's hair．D． He has mixed feelings when he is with his daughter．2BThe soldiers had just moved to the desert, and as they had never been in such a place before, they had a lot to learn．As there were no trees or buildings in the desert, it was, of course, very hard to hide their trucks from enemy planes． The soldiers were, therefore, given training in camouflage(伪装)． They were shown how to paint their trucks in irregular patterns with pale green yellow and brown paints, and then to cover them with nets to which they had tied small pieces of cloth．The driver of the biggest truck had a lot of trouble camouflaging it． He spent several hours painting it，preparing a net and searching for some heavy rocks with which to hold the net down． When he came back from his meal, he was surprised and worried to see that his camouflage was completely spoilt(毁掉) by the truck's shadow, which was growing longer and longer as the afternoon advanced． He stood looking at it, not knowing what to do．Soon an officer arrived, and he, too, saw the shadow, of course．“Well, don't just stand there doing nothing,” said the officer．“What shall I do, sir﹖” asked the poor driver．“Get your spade (锹) and throw some sand over the shadow, of course,” answered the officer．4．From the passage we can know that＿＿＿＿＿．A． there were a lot of trees where the soldiers were sta tionedB． the soldiers were staying in an area far from the ene my planesC． the soldiers knew nothing about the desertD． the soldiers had lived in the desert before5．Which of the following is TRUE﹖A． The nets with which they covered their trucks were made of small pieces of cloth．B． The soldiers tied small pieces of cloth to the

the shadow with sand．B． It is where the humor lies．C． Though the officer's order sounded wise, the soldier couldn't cover the shadow．D． The soldier managed to cover the shadow with sand．CIf humans could be content to live on a lowest necessary diet with only crude shelter and some simple covering for the body, the economic problem could be settled with the minimum (最小值) of social organization． But the truth is that human needs increase as fast as our means of satisfying them． Today's needs were the luxuries (奢侈) of the last century． The things we dream about may be accepted as commonplace in the future．Shelter today means more than having a roof overhead． Choice of a home revolves (从各个角度考虑) around such issues as house size, the number of bedrooms and baths, playroom and the type of neighborhood．It is so easy to meet basic needs today that we work also to have luxuries and to impress others with our wealth． Also we want to be sure that our children will be well off and that we will have savings for old age．In addition to our own endless personal wants, there are others which require spending by large social groups to which we belong, namely clubs, churches and government． Through such agencies (代理机构) we seek to satisfy our wants for playgrounds, finer churches, better schools, the best textbooks, a good water supply,hospitals and clinics, up-to-date libraries, improved streets and highways, and national prestige (声望) in space exploration． Indeed, when all our private and public wants are combined (合并) they come to a total so large that we can only conclude that human wants are unlimited．9． What is the main idea of the passage﹖A． Human needs increase endlessly．B． It is easier to meet basic needs today than before．C． Personal wants are endless but public needs can be met．D． When our private and public wants are combined, we will be satisfied．10． The underlined phrase “crude shelter” in the passage means ＿＿＿＿＿．A． shabby clothes B． basic wantsC． beautiful and big house D． simple house11． When we combine our personal and public wants ＿＿＿＿．A． we may have luxuries which we have been dreaming about4B． we may arrive at the conclusion that human needs are endlessC． we may raise our national prestige in the international affairsD． we have to work hard to earn enough money for better living conditionsDI was in a strange city I didn't know at all, and what's more, I could not speak a word of the language． On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on． The first two hours passed pleasantly enough． Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch． After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way． The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly． I stopped to ask a newspaper seller． He handed me a paper． I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands． I had to give him some money and went on my way． The next person I asked was a policeman． He listened to me carefully nodded and gently took me by the arm． There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again． I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed．About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me． I had come all the way into the countryside． The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station．12．The writer preferred

passing by13．The newspaper seller ＿＿＿＿．A． didn't know where the hotel was B． didn't understand what the writer saidC． could understand what the writer said D． didn't want to take the money from the

he was much farther away from the hotel．D． The writer found the hotel in the direction the police man pointed．16．In your opinion what was the writer's real trouble﹖A． He didn't know the city at all． B． He couldn't speak the language．5C． He went too far in the wrong bus． D． He followed the policeman's direction．EA new era (纪元) is upon us． Call it what you will, the service economy, the information age, the knowledge society． It all translates to a basic change in the way we work． Already we are there now． The percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen fortunately in the Western World． Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan,two thirds or more in many of these countries, are in the service industry, and the number is on the rise． More women are in the workforce than ever before． There are more part-time jobs． More people are self-employed． But the wideness of the economic change can't be measured by numbers alone, because it also is giving rise to a radical (彻底的) new way of thinking about the nature of work itself． Long-held views about jobs and careers, the skills to succeed, even the relation between individuals (个人) and employers—all these are being challenged (挑战)．We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead． No one looking ahead 20 years could possibly have foreseen（预测）the ways in which a single invention, the chip (芯片), would change our world thanks to its use in personal computer, digital biotechnology (数码生物技术) artificial intelligence（人工智能） or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of unexpected changes． But one thing is certain information and knowledge will become even more important, and the people who have them whether they are in manufacturing (机器制造) or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth． Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write． The ability to solve problems by using information instead of performing regular work will be valued above all else． If you look forward 10 years, information services will be predominant (占优势)． It will be the way you do your job．17． One of the great changes brought about by the know ledge society is that ＿＿＿＿＿＿．A． the difference between the individual and the employer has become lessB． people's traditional ideas about work no longer hold trueC． most people have to take part-time jobsD． people have to change their jobs from time to time18． By referring to computers and other inventions, the author means that ＿＿＿＿＿．A． future achievements in technology will bring about unbelievable changesB． people should be able to respond quickly to the ad vancement of technologyC． the importance in technology has been overlookedD． computer science will play a leading role in the future information service19． The future will probably belong to those who ＿＿＿＿＿＿．A． possess and know how to make use of information and knowledge6B． give full play to their brain potential (潜能)C． involve (使卷入) themselves in service industryD． look forward instead of looking back20． Which of the following can be the best title for the passage﹖A． Computers and Knowledge SocietyB． Fast Development of Information TechnologyC． Characteristics（特点） of the New Era D． Service Industry in the Modern Society Key：1-5 CCDCB 6-10 ACBAD 11-15 BCBAC 16-20 BABAC7。
