AVisitors to Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas really follow the crowd. The park contains 47 hot springs. And tourists can take relaxing soaks at a bathhouse in the park that uses warm water from the nearby hot springs.Great SpringsAt 5,550 acres, Hot Springs National Park is the smallest national park in the United States. People have been coming to the area for hundreds of years to enjoy its natural hot baths. Starting in the 19th century, several bathhouses that offered baths with spring water opened in the region. Many visitors with illnesses went there, believing that the waters could help cure (治愈) them.The area became a national park in 1921. People aren’t allowed to take baths dire ctly in the springs. But you can still visit the one bathhouse that remains in operation at the park. You can also drink the spring water from special fountains (喷嘴式饮水器) around the park. And don’t worry about burning your tongue. When the water flows from the ground into the pools, it’s very hot. But it cools before reaching the park’s baths and fountains.Home at Hot SpringsBesides the springs, visitors to the park can also see some pretty cool wildlife. Sounds like there are a lot of ways to have fun at Hot Springs National Park!Fees & PassesThere is no entrance fee for the park.Camping FeesYour stay is limited to 14 days at a time. Longer stays require you to move to a different campground outside of the national park. All sites can be used for tent camping. All sites are $30 per night or $15 per night with a Senior Pass or Access Pass card. Senior and Access passes can be bought at the park store.21. What do we know about Hot Springs National Park?A.

As a child, she counted everything. She counted the steps to the road, the steps up to church, the number of dishes she wash ed …By the time she was 10 years old, she was a high school freshman, which was truly amazing in a time when school for African-Americans normally stopped at eighth grade. To meet her math potential (潜力), her father drove his family 120 miles to Institute, West Virginia, where blacks could continue high school education. Johnson’s excellent performance proved her father’s decision was the right one: Katherine skipped gr ades (跳级) to graduate from high school at 14 and from college at 18.In 1953, after years as a teacher and later as a stay-at-home mom, she began working for NASA, which began hiring women to measure and calculate the results of wind tunnel (风洞) tests in 1935. In a time before the electronic computers, these women were called “computer”. Even after NASA began using electronic computers, the astronaut John Glenn requested that she should personally recheck the calculations made by the new electronic computers before his flight.She continued to work at NASA until 1986. Her calculations proved critical to the success of the Apollo Moon landing program and the United States’ journey into space. Her story was the basis for the 2016 film Hidden Figures.Katherine Johnson, a great mathematician, physicist, space scientist and the last computer that wore skirts, passed away on February 24, 2020.24. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?A. Katherine left high school at eighth grade.B. Katherine was gifted in math as a child.C. Katherine was required to count in her childhood.D. African-Americans had a good education in the 1920s.25. How long did Katherine work at NASA?A. 18 years.B. 33 years.C. 51 years.D. 81 years.26. Which best explains the underlined word “critical” in Paragraph 3?A. Important.B. Successful.C. Dangerous.D. Harmful.27. What’s the best title for the text?A. Scientists at NASAB. Katherine Johnson’s EducationC. A Great Mathematician’s DecisionD. Katherine Johnson, a Computer that Wore SkirtsCThere is a famous story about how Walt Disney was inspired to build Disneyland. The story goes that during an afternoon visit to Griffith Park located near the Burbank Studios, Walt took a seat while his two young daughters rode the merry-go-round. Walt thought there should be a place where both children and their parents could enjoy spending some time together in an environment that would be both entertaining and pleasing to the eye, so with this thought came the idea for Disneyland.Walt's original plan was to build an eight-acre park located near the Burbank Studios that would be a place forhis employees and their families. Those plans were put on hold because of the start of World War II. By 1952, Walt hadcreated a special department that was devoted to planning his dream.Finally in 1953, the first steps in building the park happened when Walt employed the Stanford Research Institute to make a survey to determine the best possible location for the future park. Considering population growth and the future freeway construction(建设),they finally found a location in Anaheim and 160 acres of land were bought for the site of the new park.The building of the park was very expensive and to collect money for the project, Walt developed the idea of the ''Walt Disney's Disneyland'' television show. It turned out to be a marvelous idea—not only gaining the money to build the park but also presenting the park to the American public.Construction officially began on July 21,1954, and it was an ambitious(野心勃勃的)building schedule of less than one year to complete the new park for the projected opening day. Walt watched over the park's construction and progress continued with just a few minor hold-ups. Finally,the park was ready for the Opening Day onJuly17,1955.28. What inspired Walt Disney to build Disneyland?A. The special design of Griffith Park.B. A trip to a park with his daughters.C. Requests from his family and employees.D. The idea to build a park for his daughters.29. What is mainly considered in choosing the location of Disneyland?A. Walt Disney's personal preference.B. The natural environment.C. The advice of the public.D. Local traffic.30. What can we learn about the construction process?A. It was smooth generally.B. It was affected by World War II.C. It was completed later than expected.D. It was influenced by a shortage of money.31. Where is the text most likely from?A. A diary.B. A novel.C. A magazine.D. A guidebook.DA few months after Wu Xingu was congratulated by teachers for graduating from the university, the23-year-old has been making his dream of relieving tens of thousands of teachers in China from drowning in marking papers(改卷) a reality.Yitiku, an online software system based on Wu’s idea, eases the workload of teachers by doing many of the functions that they did, such as selecting the test questions, forming an exam paper, and preparing exercises for the students.The features of Yitiku may sound quite simple, but this idea won his company millions of doll ars from China’s Internet giant Tencent in January. The unexpectedly successful fund raising story became a popular conversation starter among the people in the education business.“I can say it’s quite an achievement for me and our company. As far as I kn ow, I’m the first CEO born after1990s that Tencent has invested (投资) in, and we are the firstonline education company they have invested in.” Wu Xingyu told China Daily.Different from other online companies that treat students as clients (客户), Yitiku has chosen teachers as their focus. “ We make the work of teachers easy. Usually it takes two to three hours for them to prepare a new exam paper. Now it’s just three clicks.” said Wu. He is quite satisfied with the major feature of the software.Sitting in his 10-square-meter office in Zhonguancun, a hub of innovation (创新) in Beijing, Wu looks confident and chatty when talking about his business. His fast-speed answers give people an impression that he has years of experience in the online education sector. The fact is that he had been putting most of attention in directing courses at an art college until about a year ago.32. The best title for this passage might be .A. 23-year-old wants to ease workload of teachersB. the achievement made by a boy born after 1990sC. Yitiku, an online software system loved by teachersD. A 23-year-old surprises the China’s Internet giant33. Yitiku has the following function EXCEPT .A. designing test papersB. choosing the test questionsC. teaching the studentsD. grading papers34.

(英语)高二英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we're hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor's degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there's a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a "three-year degree" model.I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly "throw out" one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist "diluting (稀释)" the quality of the education they offer.In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education.A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it's not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns (实习生) in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.(1)Which of the following can best sum up the main idea?A.It's time to shorten the learning process.B.Best learning takes place over time.C.University education should be watered down.D.College education calls for reform.(2)We can learn from the passage that ________.A.most American universities are against the "three-year degree" modelB.many famous US universities are considering adopting the "three-year degree" modelC.professors are willing to accept the "three-year degree" modelD.The "three-year degree" model can make college learning more efficient(3)In most US universities, ________.A.college students are offered the co-op programB.electives' credits make up one quarter of the required creditsC.all students are required to finish four-year education before graduationD.some excellent students can graduate ahead of time(4)We can infer that________.A.the author is a college professor exploring ways to make learning more efficientB.the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to affordC.the author considers the university education quality very importantD.the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students【答案】(1)B(2)A(3)D(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,作者认为把大学四年的学制缩短为三年不是一个好主意,保证足够的时间才能保证大学教育的质量。

高二英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Dogs were living as companions to the early settlers of North America over 10,000 years ago. The oldest domestic dogs in the Americas were thought to be around 9500 years old. Angela Perri of Durham University, UK, and her colleagues have carried out fresh radiocarbon dating on thetwo dog skeletons that gave this date, discovered in the prehistoric Koster site in Illinois, and found they were even older: around 10,100 years old.A third dog from another Illinois site called Stilwell II was older still, at 10,190 years old. That makes it the oldest known domesticated dog in the Americas. The team concluded that all three dogs were domesticated as they skeletons were complete and unskinned, and so hadn't been butchered for food. They had also been carefully buried, evidence they were valued by their owners. The Stilwell II dog, which probably resembled a small English settler, was under what seemed to be the floor of a living area. It is unclear why it took so long for tame dogs to arrive inthe Americas, given that they were domesticated at least 14,000 years ago in Eurasia. By this time, people were already moving into North America from Siberia; there is evidence some reachedChile 18,500 years ago. Geneticists have found signs of at least three waves of migration over the following millennia. There is no evidence that domestic dogs accompanied them. “We don't know if dogs were part of the first waves of immigration to the Americas" says Luc Janssens of Ghent University in Belgium. "It could be so, but no archaeological bones have yet been found." Itis "overwhelmingly probable" that some of the early settlers did bring dogs to the Americas, butthey may not have had "the time or the spiritual compulsion to bury them", says Pat Shipman of Pennsylvania State University.(1)How old is the oldest known domestic dog in the Americas7A. About 9500 years.B. About 10,100 years.C. 10,190 years.D. 18,500 years.(2)The underlined word "butchered" in the fourth paragraph could be replaced by.A. killedB. boughtC. trainedD. raised (3)What is the attitude towards when tame dogs arrived in the Americas in the last three paragraphs?A. Undoubted.B. Unsure.C. Indifferent.D. Unconfident.(4)What is the main topic of this passage?A. The earliest domestic dog in the Americas.B. The first dog arriving in the Americas.C. How dogs were domesticated in the Americas.D. When the oldest dog was found in the Americas.【答案】(1)C(2)A(3)B(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了大概一万年以前就在北美成为人类伙伴的狗的种类。

She wants to find her future husband through this way.The unnamed husband seeker who sent out the email had just finished reading the best-selling book named Lean In. It was 11 p.m. on a Sunday night and she realized this was the second self-help book she had read in the month. She was still single. Things were not looking fine, but there was hope for her still. If the book had taught her anything, it was that she needed to take a more positive role in finding love. After all, if she wanted to get a better job, she wouldn't just sit outside an employer's building and wait for someone to offer it to her, so why should finding a husband be any different? But instead of going out and meeting new people she decided to write an email to all her friends, offering to give them $10,000 on her wedding day if any of them managed to introduce her to her future husband.“I am writing you today because I've decided to make an aggressive action plan on finding the man that I get to hang out with forever,” the woman writes in her email. “Introducing me to my husband is just not high on your to-do list.

I had made great efforts to write when I camehome at night after work, but I was too tired. I decided to quit my job.I began my new life on a February morning. I sat down at my kitchen table at 7:30 am andmade a resolution. Every day I would write until lunchtime. Then I would lie down on the floorfor 20 minutes to rest my mind. After that, I would return to work for a few more hours.In my first year, I sold two stories. Then I wrote a novel, but I thought it wasn't good enough, soI ended up putting it in a drawer. My second novel, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, waspublished to glowing reviews and received the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction.My success sounds like a familiar story, but actually it was far from sudden. I quit my job, and for every story I published in those years, I had at least 30 rejections. The novel that I put awayin the drawer took my four years. My breakthrough came in 2006, 18 years after I first sat downto write at my kitchen table.Sometimes genius (天才 ) is just the thing that comes out after 20 years of working at your kitchen.

(英语)高二英语阅读理解试题( 有答案和解析 ) 及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解For top students from low-income families, the challenge of applying to colleges is particularly difficult. 1 in 4 deal with all of that—the writing, the studying, the researching and applying—completely on their own. One approach to make this whole process easier? Pair students up withan adviser.That's the idea behind CollegePoint, an initiative to help gifted students go to schools that match their intellectual(智力的)ability. When a high school student takes a standardized test—the PSAT,SAT or ACT——and they score in the 90th percentile, and their families make less than$80, 000 a year, they get an email from the program offering them a free adviser. The advisers listen, guide and answer students'questions.Connor Rechtzigel, an adviser in Minnesota, sees the importance of his role, for research shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don't think they have what it takes to get in and because many don't even know what schools are out there. He helped high school senior Justice Benjamin, the first in his family to apply to college, think about what his ideal learning experience was. Finally, Justice narrowed in on smaller schools where he could study environmental science and made his final choice : Skidmore College in New York. He felt empowered by the process.Figuring out how to pay for college is a major part of what, CollegePoint advisers do. Nakhle,an adviser in North Carolina, is working with Hensley, an Ohio high school senior who can't get extra financial help from her family. They spent a lot of time comparing and analyzing herfinancial-aid award letters, which made her decision much clearer. Finally, the Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing. Staying in-state wasn't her first choice, but it was the best option for her.(1) What is the second paragraph mainly about?(2) What prevents low-income students from attending proper colleges?(3) Why did Hensley finally choose the Ohio State University?A.She didn't want to stay far from home.B.Her favorite major was provided there.C.She would show her talents to the full.D.The university met her financial needs.(4) What is the best title for the text?A.How to Be a Financial AdviserB.Steps for Top Students to Select Ideal CollegesC.Advisers Help Poor Students Apply to Suitable CollegesD.CollegePoint—a Program Helping Students Score High【答案】( 1) A(2) B(3) D(4) C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一款帮助贫困家庭的优秀生申请合适大学的虚拟建议程序。

The next day the students' memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them.''When people rely on technology to remember them — counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained.But there is also an exception: if students zoomed in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens (镜头) on a specific area could even recall parts that weren't in the frame.So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldn't reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them,” Henkel told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they aren't usually very organized on their computers.(1)Why did the author mention Henkel's trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning? A. To complain about some tourists' bad habits. B. To give suggestions on how to enjoy one's tour.C. To point out people's obsession with taking pictures.D. To describe the beautiful view of the Grand Canyon.(2)What can we learn from Henkel's study?A. Reviewing pictures always helps people bring back memories easily.B. Taking pictures in a museum tour helps students recognize objects better.C. People should spend more time taking pictures than studying real objects.D. Pictures focusing on the details of objects probably improve people's memories.(3)The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to “________”.A. the cameraB. technologyC. the eventD. an object(4)What is the article mainly about?A. People's obsession with taking pictures and its influence.B. Possible ways of using pictures to improve one's memory.C. Great harm to memory caused by taking pictures constantly.D. A believable study into the negative impact of lining cameras often.【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)C(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,人们都有拍照的喜好,拍照有助于我们记忆。

Apples, which are about 85 percent water, grow almost everywhere in the world but the hottest and coldest areas (地区). Among the leading countries in apple production are China, France and the United States.There are various kinds of apples, but a very few make up the majority of those grown for sale. The three most common kinds grown in the United States are Delicious, golden Delicious, and McIntosh.Apples are different in colour, size, and taste. The colour of the skin may be red, green, or yellow. They have various sizes, with Delicious apples being among the largest. The taste may be sweet or tart (酸的). Generally, sweet apples are eaten fresh while tart apples are used to make applesauce (苹果酱).Apple trees may grow as tall as twelve metres. They do best in areas that have very cold winters. Although no fruit is yielded during the winter, this cold period is good for the tree.1.

The big question is why.There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.Myth the Number One: It”s best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident.Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is able going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you”ll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are "thrown clear".Myth Number Two: Safety-bets "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinkingin water.Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren”t needed at speeds of less than 30milesper hour (mph).Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres.1.

After all, this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools, and that the “work” they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.Stage schools often act as agencies(代理机构)to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the name “stage school” are those few places where children attend full time, with a training for the theatre and a general education.A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy the mselves. After all, what lively children wouldn”t settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work, and acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 to 80 days.The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who don”t make it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.1. People would stop feeling uneasy when realizing that the children they”re talking to________.A. attend a stage schoolB. are going to the theatreC. have got some work to doD. love singing and dancing2. In the writer”s opinion, a good stage school should ________.A. produce star performersB. help pupils improve their study skillsC. train pupils in language and performing artsD. provide a general education and stage training.3. “Professional work” as used in the text means ________.A. ordinary school workB. money-making performancesC. stage training at schoolD. acting, singing or dancing after class4.

The shortest proposed route would be 126 kilometers---more than twice the length of the English Channel Tunnel. And the longest proposed route would be 207 kilometers.A recent conference in Xiamen, Fujian Province brought together more than70 experts. The event was co-sponsored(共同发起) by universities from Taiwan and the Chinese mainland.Fujian is the province where both proposed routes would begin.There is no direct passenger access between the mainland and Taiwan by air or sea at the moment.Experts say that it is better to start research sooner rather than later, although there is a lack of government funding. There are no technical problems to build a Taiwan tunnel. But it will require an improved political relationship across the Straits(海峡).A professor of Tsinghua University said, "A special feature of huge projects is that the period of preparation is longer than the period of construction."For example, he said, the English Channel Tunnel took 14 years of planning and had been discussed for two centuries. And preparations for the huge Three Gorges(三峡) dam on the Yangtze River began in the 1950s.The Xiamen conference focused on the longest southern route, which woulduse the Taiwan-controlled islands of Jinmen and Penghu as stepping stones.The first stage of the new project could be a bridge to cross the five kilometres between Xiamen and Jinmen. This would mean that travelling from Xiamen to Jinmen by car would only take five minutes.The longest tunnel now being planned anywhere in the world is the 54-kilometre land tunnel to link Lyon in France with Turin in Italy. The tunnel will not be completed until 2015~2020.1. Which is the longest tunnel in the world at present?A. The English Channel Tunnel.B. The tunnel between Lyon and Turin.C. The Taiwan Straits tunnel.D. The passage doesn”t mention it.2. The example of English Channel Tunnel shows __________.A. it”s not easy to complete a huge projectB. there are many problems to be solved before doing somethingC. discussions among countries usually take a lot of timeD. the preparation takes longer time than the construction3. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Universities both at home and abroad have sponsored the plan.B. If the project is completed, the world”s longest tunnel will appear.C. You can”t reach Taiwan from the mainland directly at present.D. The starting point of the proposed tunnel is in Fujian.4. What is the possible difficulty in carrying out the plan?A. The lack of money for the project from the governments.B. Improving the relationship between Taiwan and the mainland.C. The detailed plans for the tunnel.D. The technical problems with the tunnel.FA thief who dropped a winning lottery ticket(彩票)at the scene of his crime has been given a lesson in honesty. His victim, who picked up the ticket, then claimed the £25000 prize, managed to trace him, and handed over the cash. The robberyhappened when maths professor Vinicio Sabbatucci,58, was changing a tyre on an Italian motorway. Another motorist, who stopped to "to help", stole a suitcase from his car and drove off. The professor found the dropped ticket and put it in his pocket before driving home to Ascoli in eastern Italy.Next day, he saw the lottery results on TV and, taking out the ticket, realized it was a winner. He claimed the 60 million lire(里拉) prize. Then he began a battle with his conscience. Finally, he decided he could not keep the money despite having been robbed. He advertised in newspapers and on radio, saying: "I”m trying to find the man who robbed me. I have 60 million for him--- a lottery win. Please meet me. Anonymity(匿名) guaranteed."Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the cash. But there was one voice he recognized--- and he arranged to meet the man in a park. The robber, a35-year-old unemployed father of two, gave back the suitcase and burst into tears. He could not believe what was happening. "Why didn”t you keep the money?" he asked. The professor replied:"I couldn”t because it”s not mine."
