高二英语听力技巧强化训练阅读理解30题1<背景文章>Listening is an essential skill in learning English. Good listening skills not only help students understand what others are saying but also improve their overall language proficiency. English listening skills are particularly important for high school students as they prepare for various exams and communicate with others in different situations.There are several key listening techniques that can help students improve their listening ability. One of the most important techniques is to pay attention to the context. By understanding the context, students can better guess the meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases. Another useful technique is to listen for key words. Key words can help students understand the main idea of a conversation or lecture. Additionally, taking notes while listening can also be very helpful. Notes can help students remember important information and review it later.In order to apply these listening techniques effectively, students need to practice regularly. They can listen to English podcasts, watch English movies or TV shows, and participate in English conversations. By doing so, they can improve their listening skills and become more confident in using English.1. The main idea of the passage is about ___.A. the importance of English reading skillsB. the importance of English listening skillsC. the importance of English writing skillsD. the importance of English speaking skills答案：B。

英语阅读理解强化训练附参考答案

英语阅读理解强化训练附参考答案英语阅读理解强化训练1：When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly ad possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk(冒…危险)being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.“Storm chasing(追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby(喜好), especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frepuent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and wits for it to develop.Although anyone can do it , storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement . “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,”says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature, It is the greatest show on Earth.”56. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to .A. head straight for the center of the stormB. get into the car for safetyC. wait patiently for the storm to developD. collect information about a coming storm57. Beginners of storm chasing are advised .A. not to drive in a heavy rainB. to do it in an organized wayC. not to get too close to a stormD. to spend more time on it in summer58. By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that .A. storm chasing costs a lot of moneyB. storm chasing is worth hours of waitingC. efforts in storm chasing are well paidD. a storm presents the greatest show on Earth59. What can we learn from the text?A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointmentB. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world/D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.英语阅读理解强化训练参考答案：56.D 57.B 58.C 59.A英语阅读理解强化训练2：It is common to have difficulties sleeping during the day. Humans are naturally wired to sleep best at night and be awake during the day. However, modern work schedules require some people to try to accommodate the unnatural schedule of shift(轮班)work — being awake at night and sleeping during the day.In order to make this adjustment, you need to pay special attention to your sleep environment and your preparation for sleep. If shift work is a necessary part of your work life, here are some suggestions that may help.Arrange to sleep uninterrupted in a quiet, dark room. This means you may have to turn off or unplug your phone, hang darkening curtains on the windows or wear a sleep eye mask, and train your family and friends to leave you alone while you sleep.Fit in a nap(小睡). When your daytime sleep period is too short, taking a short nap of less than 30 minutes just before work or on a break has been shown to improve alertness and enhance performance.Develop and follow a sleep routine. Its best if you go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. Try not to vary this too much on weekends. Your body likes routine.Take extra care to make healthy choices. You may be tempted to reach for unhealthy foods or nicotine to stay awake or alcohol to try to sleep. But ultimately these choices are more harmful than helpful.If you have tried all these things and are still having problems getting enough quality sleep during the day, talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist. Sometimes medications(药物治疗)may be helpful and safe. In other cases, there may be an underlying sleep disorder that needs to be addressed.72.The purpose of the text is to .A.persuade workers to have a god sleep.B.advise night workers to keep healthyC.encourage workers to do day workD.help night workers to sleep well73.What does the author recomusend?A.A suitable account of alcohol to help sleep.B.A regular life on weekdays and weekends.C.A dark room without phoebes to sleep in.D.A break for sleeping anytime during the day.74.On which condition should a person turn to a sleep specialist for help?A.If he suffers from a sleep disorder for the first time.B.If a good sleep environment is greatly needed for him.C.If he falls to get quality sleep through his own efforts.D.If he has the problem of bailing to sleep in the daytime.75.We can learn from the test that .A.night workers need a long time to fall asleepB.constant breaks at work help to improve performanceC.it is difficult to create a good sleep environmentD.night work requires people to adjust their body clocks英语阅读理解强化训练参考答案：72—75 DBCD。

Then they pulled open the floodgates in time to avoid a disaster that could have washed away farmland and houses.But things got worse for Gan: he lost his eyeglasses and couldn't see well. Guided by Luo, he walked 20 or 30 kilometers from the station. But he became too weak to go farther and decided tostay where he was and wait for Luo to return with rescuers. Luo was found on September 8, but rescuers were unable to find Gan.Gan feared that Luo had died, so he decided to head back to the station to wait for help. Without his glasses, he fell down and got up many times. He did not know the time, as he had also lost his cellphone and didn't have a watch. When darkness fell, he lay down on the ground and slept restlessly.For the first few days, he was able to find a stream to drink water. Later, he could only collect rainwater from moss. He ate wild fruit in the woods. When the wild fruit and moss were no longer available, he dug up roots to eat and drank his own urine in order to survive. Many times, Gan said, he could clearly hear the sound of a plane.His salvation came on September 21, when Ni Taigao, a 58-year-old ethnic Yi villager in Shimian County, heard his calls for help on a mountain slope.

Washing hands also helps. Storing food 2__________(correct) can help prevent illness as well.However,people didn’t use to know a lot about germs. For many years, even doctors didn’t really understand 3____________ illnesses spread. They did many things to avoid sickness. Some doctors even tried dressing like birds.In 1619, Charles Lorme designed a special uniform 4____________ a long coat, gloves, boots and a wide-side hat for doctors treating plague (瘟疫) patients. The doctors also carried long, wooden sticks so that they wouldn’t have to touch the patients. The mask made the doctors 5__________(look) like birds. It had a long beak with about 15 cm from the face. There were also two eye holes covered in glass and two 6___________ (nose) holes.At that time, doctors believed the plague spread 7___________ bad air. So the doctors put medicine and flowers in the beaks of their masks. They believe this would remove the bad smell from air before 8_________(breathe) it, preventing them from being affected by the plague.Did it work? Well, not really. The germs which caused the plague did sometimes travel through the air, but good – smelling medicine was 9______________(able) to stop them. Many doctors still got sick by breathing through the nose holes in their masks. Some plague only spread through bites from fleas (跳蚤) and rodents (啮齿动物). The doctors’ uniforms did help protect them from this danger. However, 10___________ was largely the coat, gloves, boots and hat that did the job, not the bird mask.四、任务型阅读The twenty-first century is already turning out to be the century of modern technologies.Thetechnological revolution(革命)that started after World War ll is now developing more quickly. Computing and other technological development begin to reach into,influence and take over nearly every part of our lives.The two main influences modern computing has had on our lives are in the areas of economics (经济学)and communications.Technology has led to big changes in economic and business systems and operations (经营).Businesses now have to be using cloud services or machine learning.As a result, every big company bases its operations on computing.For example,Coca Cola and Huawei sell different products and services, yet they all share one basic feature—without modern computing services, their operations would break down.New technologies play an important role in economies.China and many other developing countries have large IT industries which drive their economies. What's more, developed countries, including Germany and the United States,are moving from an industrial-based economy to a computing and IT-based one.The other important influence of technological change is in the way of communication. For example,in the past,people wrote letters or talked on fixed phones.Now they send text messages or chat using mobile phones.Instead of waiting weeks for a letter,we can communicate right away easily. New forms of communication are cheaper or free.As a result,now people who live thousands of kilometres away from each other can communicate as much as they want at any time.In conclusion,computing and new technologies have had a great influence on our lives in many ways.And they have had the greatest influence in business and communication.In the future,if technology continues developing at such speed,our business practices and methods of答案：完形填空CADBD DBCDB ACBAD阅读理解ABBDA BCCD综合填空1-5 spreading; correctly; how; with; look6-10 noise; through; breathing; unable; It任务型阅读1-5. taken; difference; Example; on; help;6-10.into; faster; less; communicate; quickly。

高中英语阅读强化训练(一)(含答案解析)

高中英语阅读强化训练(一)Ⅰ阅读理解Mother Nat ure knows best. But she’s not always generous with her secrets. Sometimes she only tells them to the most careful observers.George de Mestral was a Swiss engineer who enjoyed walking with his dog in the woods. One day, after a walk, he looked down and saw some seeds(种子) stuck to his trousers. He was a little bit angry because the seeds were hard to remove. He pulled a few of the seeds off of his trousers and examined them under a microscope(显微镜). What he saw amazed him: tiny hooks(钩子) on the ends of the seeds. George de Mestral saw a new way to stick things together and keep them attached.He was inspired to turn his accidental discovery into a useful product. He borrowed money from a bank, gave up his job, and gave all of his time and energy to the__task. At first, people refused to take him, and the idea, seriously. He took his idea to a weaving center, where he did manage to get the help of one weaver, who made two products out of cotton that worked. However, the cotton wore out quickly. Finally, by using nylon instead of cotton, he made his invention work. It took ten years to develop it. He called it Velcro.Today, Velcro is used everywhere: in shoes, purses, and children’s toys. We can thank de Mestral for discovering and developing a wonderful way to attach things. But the real thanks should go to nature for making the secret known.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

高考英语阅读理解强化训练Day Eleven

高考英语阅读理解强化训练Day ElevenPassage 1A busy brain can mean a hungry body We often seek food after focused mental activity, like preparing for an exam. Researchers think that heavy bouts of thinking drain energy from the brain, whose capacity to store fuel is very limited.So the brain, sensing that it may soon require more calories（卡路里）to keep going, apparently stimulates bodily hunger, and even though there has been little in the way of physical movement bodily hunger, and even though there has been little in the way of physical movement or calorie consumption, we eat this process may partly account for the weight gain so commonly seen in college students.Scientists at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and another institution recently experimented with exercise to counter such immoderately post--study food consumption.Gary Hunter, an exercise physiologist at U. A. B, oversaw the study Hunter notes that tough activity both increases the amount of blood sugar and lactate（乳酸盐）-circulating in the blood and increases blood flow to the head. Because the brain uses sugar and lactate as fuel, researchers wondered if the increased flow of fuel-rich blood during exercise could feed an exhausted brain and reduce the urge to overeat.Thirty--eight healthy college students were invited to U. A. B 's exercise lab to report what their favorite pizza was. At a later date, the volunteers returned and spent 20 minutes dealing with selections from college and graduate--school entrance exams. Next, half the students sat quietly for 15 minutes, before being given pizza The rest of the volunteers spent those 15 minutes doing intervals on a treadmill：two minutes of hard running followed by about one minute of walking, repeated five times. Hunter says, that should stimulate the release of sugar and lactate into the bloodstream. These students were then allowed to gorge on pizza, too But by and large, they did not overeat. In fact, the non-exercisers, however, consumed about 100 calories more.The study has limitations, of course We only looked at lunch Hunter says；the researchers do not know if the runners consumed extra calories at dinner. They alsocannot tell whether other types of exercise would have the same effect as running, although Hunter says they suspect that if an activity causes someone to break into a sweat, it should also increase blood sugar and lactate, feeding the brain and weakening hunger's call.1. According to the passage, may cause many college students to overeat and gain weight.A. a lot of energy-consuming mental activitiesB. numerous physical movements or calorie burningC. failure to resist the temptation of delicious foodD. bodily hunger caused by physical growth2. The underlined word"counter"is closest in meaning to.A. stimulateB. maximizeC. balanceD. prevent3. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Running is more beneficial than walking.B. Sweating in exercise can make people hungrier.C. The amount of blood sugar and lactate can affect people's appetite.D. When the brain feels exhausted, people tend to do exercise for relaxation.4. Which of the following statements is FALSE?A. Mental activities can make people feel hungry.B. Physical exercise can make people refreshed and stay hungry.C. Sugar and lactate can help energize and restore people's brain.D. It's uncertain what types of exercise can effectively feed the brain.Passage 2During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States. Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history. Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the bestcontemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States. But little or no notice was taken of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books.Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians. Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources. During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional, and local women's organizations compiled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored. These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women's history in the United States one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffé College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later generations of historians.Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth century, most of the writing about women conformed to the"great women"theory of history, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on"great men. "To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women produced their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for women's right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great of ordinary woman. The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories being published.1. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The role of literature in early American historiesB. The place of American women in written historiesC. The keen sense of history shown by American womenD. The"great women"approach to history used by American historians2. The word"they"in line 12 refers to.A. effortsB. sourcesC. writingsD. authors3. In the second paragraph, what weakness in nineteenth-century histories does the author point out?A. They put too much emphasis on daily activities.B. They left out discussion of the influence on money or politics.C. The sources of the information they were based on were not necessarily accurate.D. They were printed on poor quality paper.4. What use was made of the nineteenth-century women's history materials in the Schlesinger Library and the Sophia Smith Collection?A. They were combined and published in a series of books about women.B. They formed the basis of college courses in the nineteenth century.C. They provided valuable information for twentieth-century historical researchers.D. They were shared among women's colleges throughout the United States.Passage 3Shakespeare's Globe Exhibition & Tour is a unique international resource to explore Shakespeare’s work.

But how can you be a good friend at school？Listen-Listen when they are talking. Don't say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it's not necessary for you to have anything to say；they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.Help them-If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don't do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes in case they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.Be there for them-Be there for your friends to help make them feel better in hard times. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U. S. actor, once said, "I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control, but if you can't stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve to be with me at my best. " Always remember this!

They say more Americans need to take a nap—that is to rest for a short period in the middle of the day. They give people advice to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities. The experts say naps might improve health by reducing pressure.Some European and Latin American companies have supported the idea of napping for many years. They ask people to leave work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States, some companies let workers rest simply in their offices. They believe this can help workers make fewer mistakes and also increase the amount of work that a person can do.Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times. They say people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy. And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap. About twenty minutes of rest is all you need. Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your effects until the end of the day. But experts said that a nap should last no more than twenty to thirty minutes.

It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, genes (基因) and aging (老化). Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while.Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UVrays.Eating healthy foods will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight too. If a person exercises regularly (定期地) and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person’s eyesight, too.

She hardly gets angry with others and is always happy. So she is in good health. I think her reason for long life is drinking milk every day and trying to be happy,” said her granddaughter (孙女).Her doctor, Dr. Perls, said another reason for Ray’s long life is her genes (基因). She got them from her parents. He said, “These genes can keep you in good health and let you live longer. People can usually live to about 80 years old. Those with the right genes can live to more than 100 years. They also pass those genes to their children. So if a person’s parents live long, he or she will probably live long, too.” Dr. Perls also said, “You may not have those genes. But if you don’t smoke, don’t drink too much, and do exercise or do other things to relax, you still can live long.”1.

高考英语阅读理解强化训练Day 90Passage 1The days of elderly women doing nothing but cooking huge meals on holidays are gone. Enter the Red Hat Society—a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun.“My grandmothers didn't do anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were programmed to do that.” said Emils Comette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society.While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers （生育高峰期出生的人）, and the same people who refused their parents' way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.If you take into consideration feminism （女权主义）, a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable （必然的）. In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple （紫色的）clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing.The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: “When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesn't go,” said Ellen Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention.“The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else,” Cooper said. “Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves.” This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful. “We're a ladies' play group. It couldn't be more simple,” added Cooper's assistant Joe Heywood.1. The underlined word “chapter” in Paragraph 2 means ______.A. one branch of an organizationB. a written agreement of a clubC. one part of a collection of poemsD. a period in a society's history2.

It could be inferred from the text that members of the Red Hat Society are ______.A. interested in raising money for social workB. programmers who can plan well for their futureC. believers in equality between men and womenD. good at cooking big meals and taking care of others4. Who set up the Red Hat Society?A. Emils CometteB. Ellen CooperC. Jenny JosephD. Joe Heywood5. Women join the Red Hat Society because ______.A. they want to stay youngB. they would like to appear more attractiveC. they would like to have fun and live for themselvesD. they want to be more like their parentsPassage 2A five-year-old dog named Kelsey has been praised as a hero for helping to save the life of her owner who slipped in the snow and broke his neck.The man, Bob, was alone when he left his Michigan farmhouse on New Year's Eve to collect firewood. Expecting a journey of only several meters, Bob was wearing just long johns (秋裤), a shirt and slippers when he went outside, although the temperature was around -4℃.After the accident, he was unable to move in the snow. Fortunately, Kelsey cameto his assistance."I was shouting for help, but my nearest neighbor is about 400 meters away, and it was 10：30 pm," Bob explained. But my Kelsey came. By the next morning, my voice was gone and I couldn't yell for help, but Kelsey didn't stop barking."Bob's companion kept him warm by laying on top of him. She licked his face and hands to keep him awake. "Kelsey kept barking but never left my side," Bob recalled. She kept me warm. I knew I couldn't give up and that it was my choice to stay alive."Bob spent 19 hours in the freezing cold. When he finally lost consciousness, his dog kept barking. Finally, hearing the barking, Bob's neighbor discovered him at 6：30 pm. on New Year's Day and called the emergency services at once. When Bob arrived in hospital, his body temperature was below 21℃. However, doctors were surprised to find that he didn't have any frostbite (冻疮). They believed it was because of Kelsey's determination to keep him warm. Dr. Chaim Colen, the doctor who treated Bob, said, Animals can help and his dog really saved him…he was very fortunate."Bob said he was "enormously" grateful for both Dr. Colen and his Kelsey.

But there is one huge secret that I kept for years—I failed my driving test.I had never failed a test before, and had never even come close. Driving made me anxious, but my parents told me I had to. They signed me up for driving lessons. I had gotten a perfect score for my written permit exam, but getting behind the wheel was a different story.But when October 30th rolled around, my pride set in. I wanted to be like everyone else at my school, showing off the brand new license they'd gotten. Looking back on that special day, I can't remember if I was nervous. What I do remember is starting the test, pausing at a stop sign after a few seconds, and being asked by the instructor to pull over. I had received an auto-fail since my pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop.I wasn't upset that I was leaving without a license, but I was scared everyone would know that I had failed. So when I got to class, I told everyone I didn't want to take the test on my birthday.One Friday a month later, I went to the test spot again and passed. Later that night I drove for the first time by myself, which brought to me an amazing feeling I've never experienced—but still, I couldn't imagine ever telling anyone the truth. So I didn't. It wasn't until midway through college that I came clean. It turned out plenty of my college friends had failed too! And I gathered enough courage to speak the fact out. Yes, I had also failed.Now I realize failure and imperfection are two things everyone has to experience, without which one couldn't make a true man.1. What can we learn about Matthew?________A.

Imperfection is another form of perfection.Passage 4When he was young, Louis Armstrong was taking what was called “Creole jazz” , which was also called dance music, and combining it with trumpeter (小号手) Buddy Bolden, to create what would eventually become today’s jazz.Armstrong accomplished that with almost no formal training. He received little training before he was placed in the New Orleans Colored Waif’s Home at the age of 12, after a run-in (小争执) with the police. The punishment turned out to be a mixed blessing, for he also had the opportunity to play in a real band.While at the Waif’s, Armstrong also got the chance to hear some of the city’s finestmusicians. Cornetist Freddie Keppard performed in a nearby club. So did trumpeter and bandleader, King Joe Oliver, who took the boy under his wing and taught him how to read music and work on his playing technique.When Oliver left for Chicago, Armstrong chose to stay in New Orleans and work with some of the other top musicians of the day. In Chicago, King Oliver offered him a place in his band in 1922. It became Armstrong’s biggest challenge yet — the band had no parts written for trumpet, so he was forced to listen to King Oliver and improvise (即兴创作).Soon, Armstrong’s undeniable talent was getting notice. Even classically trained musicians would come to hear the incredible sounds this young man created.Lil Hardin, the bands piano player and the future Mrs. Armstrong, explains that Oliver kept Armstrong in the second trumpet-chair so that Oliver would still be “King”. Hardin convinced him to leave the band.Armstrong moved to New York City in 1924 to join Fletcher Henderson’s band and then flew solo. In 1925, Armstrong put together the Hot Five, expanding his popularity even more. Armstrong recorded his first composition, Cornet Chop Suey, one of the most copied jazz solos of all time. This monumental 1928 recording blends (混合) artistry, endurance and showmanship that has rarely, if ever, been matched in Jazz.1. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in the second paragraph?A. To play dance music.B. To work with Buddy Bolden.C. To create modem jazz music.D. To play a jazz instrument well.2. Who taught Louis Armstrong how to play music in the early time?A. Buddy Bolden.B. Lil Hardin.C. Cornetist Freddie Keppard.D. King Joe Oliver.3. Why did Louis Armstrong Leave King Oliver’s band?A. Because he wanted to get married in New York.B. Because the man forced him to leave the band.C. Because he got a better opportunity in New York.D. Because his talent could not develop completely.4. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. It asks readers to know more about modern jazz.B. It introduces one of the greatest jazz musicians.C. It introduces the development of jazz.D. It describes the importance of talent in playing jazz.Passage 5They’re in restaurants, hotels and homes all over the world. The saltwater aquarium, with its colour fish, bring a piece of the wild into your living room.But do you really know where those saltwater fish come from? A full 97 percent, yes, almost all kinds of saltwater fish can’t be bred in captivity (人工养殖). They must instead be taken from the ocean. And how is that done?Most of the time, with sodium cyanide, it is a harmful chemical compound that many fish collectors in the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia use to catch fish. They mix it with water and use it on the fish. Stunned, the fish can then be easily caught.What does cyanide do to the fish? There is a scientific study on cyanide’s effects. When there is cyanide in water, fish lose their balance and have difficulty breathing. Some fish simply die then and there. Many, many more die on the way to captivity.Although cyanide fishing in the Philippines, Sir Lanka, and Indonesia is not allowed, it sill happens too often. According to the World wildlife Fund, up to 90 percent of the saltwater fish that enter the US each year are caught this way. The Center for Biological Diversity is calling on the US government to avoid these imports.“Compared to many environmental problems now facing the world’s oceans, this is one that can easily be solved,” said Nicholas Whipps of the Center. “Because the US is such a powerful market player in this industry, the responsibility to stop this practice falls largely on the United State’ shoulders.”In the Philippines, private planes bring in cyanide to the fisherman and then takeaway the live fish. Live fish give the fisherman a better life than dead ones, so more and more fishermen have turned from supplying the fish-for-food trade to the fish-for-aquariums trade.The Center for Biological Diversity hopes the government will use the law to turn away cyanide-caught fish and persuade people to buy those only raised in captivity.1. What can we lean about cyanide fishing?A. It is within the law.B. It is the main reason why fish die.C. It brings death to many fish.D. It causes health problems for fishermen.2. A fish collector can easily catch saltwater fish when ________.A. they become sickB. they are swimming in cyanide-filled waterC. they consider cyanide as foodD. they get out of breath while trying to escape3. The underline word “this” in Paragraph 6 refers to _________.A. importing fish from foreign countriesB. using private planes to carry fishC. overfishing in the oceanD. catching fish with cyanide4. What does the Center want Americans to do?A. Say no to cyanide-caught fish.B. Keep cyanide fishing.C. Stay away from the harmful cyanide.D. Raise more fish in captivity.参考答案Passage 11. A 词义猜测题。

高考英语阅读理解强化训练Day 86

高考英语阅读理解强化训练Day 86Passage 1Handshaking, though a European practice, is now often seen in big cities of China. Nobody knows exactly when the practice started in Europe. It is said that long long ago in Europe when people met, they showed their unarmed （无武器的）hands to each other as a sign of goodwill. As time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly, people in cities began to clap each other's hands to make a deal or to reach an agreement. This practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other. “Let's shake （hands）on it” sometimes means agreement reached.Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet? No. Sometimes the Chinese abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite. It is really very impolite to give your hand when the other party, especially when it is a woman, shows little interest in shaking hands with you and when the meeting does not mean anything to him or her. Even if, for politeness, he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited hand, just touch it slightly. There is generally a misunderstanding （误解）among the Chinese that westerners are usually open and straightforward, while the Chinese are rather reserved （保守的）in manner. But in fact some people in western countries are more reserved than some Chinese today. So it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only when he shows interest in further relations with you.1. In the old days in Europe, people put out their unarmed hands to each other ______.A. to make a dealB. to greet each otherC. to show friendlinessD. to reach an agreement2. The first paragraph mainly tells us ______.A. where handshaking was first practicedB. how handshaking came aboutC. about the relationship between handshaking and tradeD. about the practice of handshaking both in Europe and in China3. According to the text, which of the following statements is true?A. Westerners are more reserved than the Chinese.B. Westerners are unwilling to shake hands.C. We should make a judgement before shaking hands.D. We shouldn't shake hands with European women.4. The main purpose of the text is ______.A. to tell us some differences between the East and the WestB. to offer us some important facts about handshakingC. to introduce us to some different customs in the WestD. to give us some advice before we travel abroadPassage 2Most kids love breaks, but for Hannah Kristan, a break was her least favorite part of the school day. "I never got to do anything except sit there," she recalls.Hannah was born with a disease that kept the bones in her back from forming properly. She uses a wheelchair. Sadly, for kids like her, most playground equipment is off limits. In fact, Hannah is one of the 5 million kids in the United States who cannot use traditional playground equipment because of some type of disability.Then Hannah heard about Boundless Playground—playgrounds with limits for children with disabilities. The wonderful group behind Boundless Playground helps communities create special playgrounds for children of all abilities. There are swings and sandboxes specially designed for kids with physical disabilities. Kids with vision problems can enjoy the movement of swings and also use musical activities such as chime walls. Since her hometown in Connecticut had nothing like it, Hannah helped raise money for this new kind of playground.The inspiration for Boundless Playgrounds was a playground created by Amy Jaffe Barzach. It is named Jonathan's Dream in honor of her son. Jonathan's Dream and many Boundless Playgrounds around the country have a glider swing that can be used by kidswho use wheelchairs and their friends. The glider swing at Jonathan's Dream was designed by Matthew Cavedon, who wasn't even 10years old at the time. Matthew was motivated because he used a wheelchair himself and wanted to be able to have fun at playgrounds with other kids, regardless of their physical abilities or disabilities.The basic idea behind Boundless Playgrounds is that play is both part of the joy of childhood and an important way for children to learn about the world. Kids who are kept away from playgrounds are denied this enjoyment as well as the learning. Far from being a place of happy excitement, traditional playgrounds are often places of separation and loneliness for those who can't join the fun.Contrary to some strict ideas about what a playground for children with special needs should be like, a Boundless Playground is every bit as colorful and challenging as a traditional playground. That's why it is inviting and fun for all children. And for Hannah, Matthew, and other kids like them, a playground like this is also a dream that comes true.1. What did Hannah Kristan do?________A. She designed Boundless Playgrounds.B. She invented a swing for the disabled.C. She collected money for the playground.D. She donated equipment to her hometown.2. We can learn from the passage that Boundless Playgrounds ________ .A. provide training instructions for the disabledB. borrowed the idea from Jonathan's DreamC. were invented by Amy Jaffe BarzachD. are financed by communities3. What is Hanna and Matthew's dream?________A. To overcome their disabilities.B. To receive special physical training.C. To get equal chances of playing and learning.D. To acquire understanding from their fellow students.Passage 3Fei-Fei Li arrived in the U.S. from China at age 16 with many big dreams. And it took many unusual jobs to help her achieve them. Luckily, she was smart and extremely driven. And today, she's the director of Stanford University's artificial intelligence lab."As one of the leaders in the world for A.I., I feel much excitement and responsibility to create the most awesome and excellent technology for society and to educate the most awesome and excellent technologists—that's my calling, "Li said.She is also a loyal advocate for diversity in the tech industry."I see extremely talented Stanford PhD students struggling with their visas and I find it unthinkable that we create so many barriers for the talents of the world," Li said. While Li was in college at Princeton, she borrowed money from friends and even her high school math teacher to run a dry-cleaning business for her parents in order to help them get by. Li attended classes during the week and worked at the business on the weekends. Then, when Li was in graduate school, her mom developed cancer and had a stroke (中风). It was difficult to keep moving ahead while all of this was happening. "The real existential challenge is to live up to your fullest potential, live up to your sense of responsibility and to be honest to yourself about your dreams while doing it.

But these four men and women have offered the ultimate loving gesture—the gift of life. Each sacrifice has enabled their loved ones to live full and active lives again after serious illness.I’D Do THE SAME FORHERMichele Johnson, 53, has been married to Gay, 57, for 26 years.With her husband suffering from a congenital(先天性的)kidney condition, in 2013 Michele gave him one of hem. Gay said: “I needed to be hooked up to a dialysis(透析)machine. I had no quality of life at all. However, I felt great as soon as I woke up after the operation. I told her I’d do the same for her.”I LOVE BRENDA TO BITSBrenda Green, 62, met her husband Keith, 63, when she was 24 and they marriedfive years later. When Brenda was told five years ago she needed a kidney transplant, she cried.

Here are some examples of bad behaviour:◎Playing truant(missing school without permission from parents).◎Stealing, smoking, hitting, swearing(说脏话), running, kissing.◎Cheating in exams.◎Calling a teacher or another pupil bad names.◎Not doing homework.◎Not listening or not paying attention in lessons.◎Wearing unsuitable clothes.Here are some of the ways that UK school children can be punished:Exclusion: a pupil is asked to leave the school and not come back. The pupil has to find a new school or a different method of education.Suspension: a pupil cannot enter the building or attend lessons until the school has a meeting about their situation. Suspension can last from one to 45 days. The pupil is usually given work to do at home with a special teacher.Detention: a pupil is asked to stay after school and work for 30—60 minutes before they Can leave.Lines: a pupil has to write a sentence many times(e. g. 100 or more)on a sheet of paper, e, g, “I must not shout in class”.Freya MacDonald, a 15-year-old pupil from Scotland, made the news when she refused to accept her school’s punishment. Her family says that she was given 11 detentions for trivial things in class and coming into school through a fire door.Freya says that repeated detentions disrupted her fight to an education under Scottish law and made it difficult for her to learn. She refused to return until the school respected her civil rights. She wants the headmaster and her teachers to sign a letter to promise this. Hundreds of schools in Scotland were told not to use detention as a punishment because of her legal action.Many UK schools now give parents a home-school contract, explaining theirdiscipline and rules.

Many schools cancelled detention to punish students.C. She didn’t step out of line after that.D. Teachers signed a letter to respect her civil rights.4. Why do many UK schools sign a contract with parents?A. To make it easy for students to learn.B. To help parents know about school rules.C. To share responsibility for their child’s actions.D.

高考英语阅读理解强化训练练习题高考英语阅读理解强化训练练习题高考英语阅读理解强化训练1In a time of low academic (学术的) achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan,a country of high academic achievement and economic success,for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction.In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top threechoices.Toprepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond,Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.In the recent parison of Japanese and Americanpre-school education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for asociety to have preschools. 62 percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性开展的) Americanslisted group experience as one of their top three choices. An em-phasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.Like in America, there is diversity (多样性) in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential (潜力) development. Inlarge cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools.25. We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe ________.A. Japanese parents pay more attention to preschool education than American parentsB. Japan's economic success is a result of its scientific achievementsC. Japanese preschool education emphasizes academic in-structionD. Japan's higher education is better than theirs26. Most American respondents believe that preschools should also attach importance to ________.A. problem solvingB. group experienceC. parental guidanceD. individually oriented development27. In Japan's preschool education, the focus is on ________.A. preparing children academicallyB. developing children's artistic interestsC. tapping children's potentialD. shaping children's characterA. They can do better in their future studies.B. They can gain more group experience there.C. They can be individually oriented when they grow up.D. They can have better chances of getting afirst-rate edu-cation.答案与详解：25. C 推断题。

高考英语强化阅读理解训练之推理判断类word版(附详解)

高考英语强化阅读理解训练之推理判断类（附详解）1. Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immort alized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.1.What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A.Her camera stopped working.B.A woman blocked her view.C.Someone asked her to leave.D.A friend approached from behind.2.According to the author, the woman was probably___________.A.enjoying herselfB.losing her patienceC.waiting for the sunsetD.thinking about her past3.In the auth or’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?A.The rich color of the landscape.B.The perfect positioning of the camera.C.The woman's existence in the photo.D.The soft sunlight that summer day4.The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ____________.A.the need to be close to natureB.the importance of private spaceC.the joy of the vacation in ItalyD.the shared passion for beauty5.The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon _____________.A.a particular life experienceB.the pleasure of travelingC.the art of photographyD.a lost friendship2. In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy(识字) rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often wit h something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim— were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon(名人堂) of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer.But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.1.Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A.They were difficult to understand.B.They were popular among the rich.C.They were seen as nearly worthless.D.They were written mostly by women.2.Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A.his reputation in FranceB.his interest in modern artC.his success in publicationD.his importance in literature3.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To remember a great writer.B.To introduce an English novel.C.To encourage studies on culture.D.To promote values of the Victorian age.3. Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的) to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.1.According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more _____________.A.anxious to do wondersB.sensitive to others' feelingsC.likely to develop unpleasant habitsD.eager to explore the world around them2.What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A.To avoid jumping to conclusions.B.To stop complaining all the time.C.To follow the teacher's advice.D.To admit mistakes honestly.3.The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they __________.A.are very patient in their observationB.are really fascinated by natureC.care only about the names of birdsD.question the accuracy of the field guides4.Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?A.The natural beauty isn't attractive to them.B.They focus on arriving at the camp in time.C.The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.D.They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.5.In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should __________.A.fill our senses to feel the wonders of the worldB.get rid of some bad habits in our daily lifeC.open our mind to new things and ideasD.try our best to protect nature4. Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless (鲁莽的) or daring, the ride can be as thrilling (惊心动魄的) as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has become harder as the hourshave passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the armrests even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.1.According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?A.Advertisements on the billboards.B.Films on television.C.Buses on the road.D.Gas stations.2.What is the purpose of this passage?A.To give th e writer’s opinion about long bus trips.B.To persuade you to take a long bus trip.C.To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.D.To describe the billboards along the road.3.The writer of this passage would probably favor .A.bus drive rs who aren’t recklessB.driving aloneC.a television set on the busD.no billboards along the road4.The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because .A.the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are funB.they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in betweenC.the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on busesD.both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.5.The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are.fortableB.excitingC.tiringD.boring5.Where Is Spring BreakWhere is Spring Break going to be?

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 Berger, 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 pos itive news. Was positive news shared 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 Tim es’ 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.”1.What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?A.News reports.B.Research papers.C.Private e-mails.D.Daily conversations.2.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 their words.3.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?A.Sports new.B.Science articles.C.Personal accounts.D.Financial reviews.4.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.Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks7. You’re sitting on the sofa, and there’s your dog, right at your feet. You stand up? He stands up. But then you head to the bathroom, and guess who comes with? Why, your dog, of course. But why? Why does your dog follow you like a shadow, no matter where you go?Ever get the feeling you're being followed? As for why your companion follows you everywhere you go, read on !“When dogs follow their owners, there can be several scientific explanations, depending on the dog and the individual situation,”according to Mary Burch, Ph.D., an animal behaviorist(行为学家).These explanations include:Positive reinforcement(正面强化): When your dog follows you, good things happen. Think dog food, a hot bath and taking a walk around the neighborhood. Your dog’s no dummy. And one of his many talents is learning from experience, that is “reinforcement.”Natural instinct(本能) to be part of a pack: In fact, a study out of Princeton University that was published in the journal, Science Advances, shows that your dog’s drive (驱动力)to follow you around (as well as watch you attentively and seek physical contact (身体接触) from you) lies in his genes(基因).Feel good chemicals(化学物质): Your presence causes your dog’s brain to release “feel good” chemicals, Dr. Primm explains, citing this study. Considering how much we as humans enjoy those feel-good chemicals, it’s no surprise your dog likes them t oo—and will follow you around to get some!Sense of responsibility : As you move about your home, your dog might feel that you are patrolling your territory (巡视领地) and take on the duty to assist you.1.What is the passage mainly about?A.Explanations for some dog behaviorsB.Some natural instincts of the dogsC.The reasons why dogs follow youD.Dogs are good friends of human2.How does the author introduce the topic?A.By listing numbersB.By giving examplesC.By telling a storyD.By making a survey3.W hat does the underlined word “dummy” mean in Para 5?A.cuteB.considerateC.stupidD.lovely4.Why does the dog like to be part of a pack?A.This kind of behaviour is reinforcedB.Dog’s brain releases chemicalsC.Dogs have sense of responsibilityD.It is passed from elder generations8. My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salescl erk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signedoff for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I hadto pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my armmuscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.1.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C.He could have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.2.Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in paragraph 1?A.ended all their programsB.provided fewer channelsC.changed to commercialsD.showed all-night movies3.How did the author finally get this TV set working again?A.By shaking and hitting it.B.By turning it on and off.C.By switching channels.D.By having it repaired.4.How does the author sound when telling the story?A.CuriousB.AnxiousC.CautiousD.Humorous参考答案1.答案：1.B;2.A;3.C;4.D;5.A解析：1.事实细节题。

大学英语四级考试阅读强化训练带答案3Art is considered by many people to be little more than a decorative means of giving pleasure. This is not always the case, however; at times, art may be seen to have a purely functional side as well. Such could be said of the sandpaintings of the Navaho Indians of the American Southwest; these have a medicinal as well as an artistic purpose.According to Navaho traditions, one who suffers from either a mental or a physical illness has in come way disturbed or come in contact with the supernatural—perhaps a certain animal, a ghost, or the dead. To counteract this evil contact, the ill person or one of his relatives will employ a medicine man called a “singer” to perform a healing ceremony which will attract a powerful supernatural being.During the ceremony, which may last from 2 to 9 days, the “singer” will produce a sandpainting on the floor of the Navaho hogan.On the last day of the ceremony, the patient will sit on this sandpainting and the “singer” will rub the ailing parts of the patient’s body with sand from a specific figure in the sandpainting. In this way the patient absorbs the power of that particular supernatural being and becomes strong like it. After the ceremony, the sandpainting is then destroyed and disposed of so its power will not harm anyone.The art of sandpainting is handed down from old “singer” to their students. The material used are easily found in the areas the Navaho inhabit; brown, red, yellow, and white sandstone, which is pulverized by being crushed between 2 stones much as corns is ground into flour. The “singer” holds a small amount of this sand in his hand and lets it flow between his thumb and fore-finger onto a clean, flat surface on the floor. With a steady hand and great patience, he is thus able to create designs of stylized people, snakes and other creatures that have power in the Navaho belief system. The traditional Navaho does not allow reproduction of sandpaintings, since he believes the supernatural powers that taught him the craft have forbidden this; however, such reproductions can in fact be purchased today in tourist shops in Arizona and New Mexico. These are done by either Navaho Indians or by other people who wish to preserve this craft.1.The purpose of the passage is to ___.A.discuss the medical uses of sandpaintings in medieval Europe.B.study the ways Navaho Indians handed down their painting art.C.consider how Navaho “singer” treat their ailments with sandpaintings.D.tell how Navaho Indians apply sandpainting for medical purposes.2.The purpose of a healing ceremony lies in ___.A.pleasing the ghostsB.attracting supernatural powersC.attracting the ghostsD.creating a sandpainting3.The “singer” rubs sand on the patient because ___.A.the patient receives strength from the sandB.it has pharmaceutical valueC.it decorates the patientD.none of the above4.What is used to produce a sandpainting?A.PaintB.Beach sandC.Crushed sandstoneD.Flour5.Which of the following titles will be best suit the passage?A.A New Direction for Medical ResearchB.The Navaho Indians’ SandpaintingC.The Process of Sandpainting CreationD.The Navaho Indians’ Medical History答案：DBACB【大学英语四级考试阅读强化训练带答案】。

小学英语阅读理解强化训练【五篇】

小学英语阅读理解强化训练【五篇】Our spiritual intelligence quotient helps us understand ourselves and live fuller, happier lives.Spiritual intelligence is the capacity to sense, understand and tap into （发掘） the highest part of ourselves, of others and of the world around us. This source of inner calmness may be our best defense against the difficulties that trouble us every day.While we’re all born with SQ, most of us aren’t even aware that we have it. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding：Sit Quietly. The process of developing spiritual intelligence begins in solitude （独处） and silence. To tune in to its whisper, you have to turn down the volume in your busy, noisy, complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all. At home, for example, shut the door to your bedroom between the others, take a few deep breaths and let them out very, very slowly.Step Outside. For many people, nature sets their spirit free. It puts the troubles of daily living into perspective. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. Follow the flight of a bird; watch clouds floating overhead.Find An Act ivity You Enjoy. It’s important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to your spirit. Garden, walk or jog, arrange flowers, listen to music that touches your soul.Ask Questions Of Yourself. Some people use their thoughtful time to focus on scriptures (经文). Others askopen-ended (无确定答案的) questions, such as “What am I feeling? What are my choices?” But don’t expect an answerto arrive via some super-natural form of e-mail. Later that day you’ll suddenly find yourself thinking about a problem from a perspective you never considered before.Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut （本能的）feelings to warn us of danger, spiritual intelligence usually nudges （逐步推动） us, not away from, but toward some action that will lead to a greater good.True (T) or False (F)：1. Admiring flowers in bloom outdoors can help us setour spirit free.2. Asking ourselves questions and trying to answer themas soon as possible is of great help.3. We can develop our SQ by shutting ourselves indoors, doing nothing at all a whole day.(Key： 1-3 TFF)【第二篇：The study of iceman】Daggers! Arrows! A fight to the death! Some scientists believe that Europe’s famous “Iceman” died in battle. The Iceman, called ?tzi, is one of the world’s oldest and best-preserved mummies.(保存最完好的木乃伊)Two hikers(旅行者) discovered the Iceman’s body on the border of Italy and Austria(奥地利) in 1991. Ever since, (从此)scientists have debated the cause of his death. Recently, scientists working in Australia came up with a new theory.Like detectives at a crime scene, the scientists examined the clues.(线索) They looked at the blood on the Iceman’s clothes and the wounds(伤) on his body. Using this evidence, they concluded(断定) that the Iceman died from injuries(伤) to his back and hand.The Iceman, the scientists believe, probably ran into deadly conflicts with at least two other hunters. Thescientists say that blood on the Iceman’s weapons (武器)show that he shot two people with his arrow. His enemies returned fire, (还击)hitting him in the back with an arrow. They also cut him with a knife on his hands, rib cage,(胸腔) andwrists.(手腕)How did the scientists get all this information from a5,000-year-old body? Since the Iceman died in a cold climate, his body froze.(冻住了) A frozen body remains preserved for hundreds, even thousands of years. As a result, scientistscan see how the Iceman’s body looked when he died. The cuton the Iceman’s thumb(拇指), for example, did not have a scar.(疤) This means that the cuts did not heal (愈合)before his death.Not all scientists agree with the battle theory, however. Some say that the Iceman may have been killed in a ritual sacrifice.(不是所有科学家都同意这种战死论, 有人说那个冰人是在一场祭祀活动中被当成祭品给杀掉了)Help：dagger n.短剑，匕首arrow n.剑run into 陷入conflict n.斗争，冲突ritual adj. 典礼的, (宗教)仪式的sacrifice n. 牺牲, 献身, 祭品, 供奉【第三篇：UN Year of Deserts】沙漠化是造成世界环境恶化严重的因素之一。

新高考英语阅读强化组合练（含答案解析）阅读强化训练(十三)(建议用时：15分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解“It could kill him. It must be removed immediately，”the doctor said. This was the news the doctor told to my parents before I was one year old. My parents thought I was a baby who happened to cry a lot. When they noticed me rubbing my right ear, they brought me to the doctor, expecting him to give me some medicine. But to their surprise, he explained that I had a tumor(肿瘤) in my right ear. After the operation, everything was fine. I just needed to go to the doctor every six months to get my ear cleaned out. Every day my ear produced a liquid(液体). It didn’t smell good. To avoid being made fun of in school, I kept a cotton ball in my ear all the time.On the first day of my third grade, I almost missed the bus, so I forgot to bring a cotton ball. At school, my ear began to produce the liquid. Because I was so excited about my new school, I didn’t notice that the other kids had begun to notice the smell. I was very embarrassed at that time. Since then, I didn’t have even a single friend at school. I had always thought that my brother’s friends in my neighborhood, who were a year older than me, were also my friends, but I was wrong. They also disliked me because of my ear.I wasn’t sure if I was ready to have close friends in fear of getting hurt. The real test was when I would need another operation. I was out of school for a week and a half, and I was nervous when I returned. Everywhere I went, kids wanted to know why my ear was different. When I finally got to my favorite class, I was comforted(安慰) by my friends who told me that things hadn’t been the same without me, and no one mentioned anything about my ear. This was the test that proved they were my true friends.【解题导语】作者讲述了自己小时候右耳做手术后，怕其他学生嘲笑的心路历程。

高考英语阅读理解强化训练Day Fourteen

高考英语阅读理解强化训练Day FourteenPassage 1For those who study the development of intelligence （智力）in the animal world, self-awareness is an important measurement. An animal that is aware （意识）of itself has a high level of intelligence.Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image （反射出的影像）. Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying little attention to the reflected image. Only humans, and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins, have been shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirror self-reflection test.“We thought that elephants were the next important animal,” said Diana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society, an author of the study with Joshua M. Plotnik and Fans B. M. de Waal of Emory University. With their large brains, Reiss said, elephants “seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins.”The researchers tested Happy, Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo. They put an 8-foot-square mirror on a wall of the animals' play area （out of the sight of zoo visitors）and recorded what happened with cameras, including one built in the mirror.The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it, and to examine parts of their bodies.Of the three, Happy then passed the test, in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.Diana Reiss said, “We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a better way.”1. What can mirror tests tell us about animals?A. Whether they have large brains.B. Whether they have self-awareness.C. Whether they enjoy outdoor exercises.D. Whether they enjoy playing with mirrors.2. Why does the author mention apes and dolphins in the text?A. They are most familiar to readers.B. They are big favorites with zoo visitors.C. They are included in the study by Reiss.D. They are already known to be intelligent.3. What made Happy different from Maxine and Patty?A. She used her nose to search behind the mirror.B. She recognized her own image in the mirror.C. She painted a mark on her own face.D. She found the hidden camera.Passage 2One way people are responding to food safety concerns is by growing their own food. However, not everyone lives on property with enough space for a private plot. One solution is community gardens, which have become popular worldwide, numbering 18, 000 in North America alone. In addition to providing low-cost, delicious food, these public spaces offer cities a range of other benefits.Community gardens are located in a town or city and tended by local residents. Often, the land is on a vacant lot owned by the city. The site is divided into manageable plots, which may be tended by individuals or by the garden's members collectively. Since the land is usually publicly owned, the cost for gardeners to lease it is minimal. In fact, New York City, which is home to more than 750 community gardens tended by more than 20, 000 members, charges people just \1 a year to lease a plot. Other costs involve soil, tools, seeds, fencing, and so on. However, because they're shared by many people, individual gardeners pay very little.A community garden can quickly pay off, in terms of delicious fruits and vegetables, in addition to beautiful flowers. Excess produce can be sold for a profit at farmers markets. But a garden's benefit don't stop there. They also beautify cities, foster strong relationships among residents, and lower an area's crime rate. Award-winning spaces like London's Culpeper Community Garden even attract tourists. Beautiful and affordable, community gardens are often described as oases in crowded cities.1. Community gardens are designed for those who.A. are concerned about food safetyB. live in a house with a private plotC. can't afford to buy organic foodD. don't have their own property2. New York City.A. is owned by 20, 000 individual gardenersB. charges residents a lot to lease tools and fencingC. contains more than 750 community gardensD. is tended by professional gardeners and local residents3. What's the benefit of community gardens?A. People can enjoy safe and delicious vegetables and animal meat.B. Residents are more familiar and related with each other.C. The neighborhood is becoming safer but of lower taste.D. People can make some profits from the visiting tourists.4. The underlined word"oases"is closest in meaning to.A. cultural and art centersB. popular platforms for exchangesC. peaceful and safe landsD. commercial and prosperous placesPassage 3King Juan Carlos of Spain once insisted"kings don't give up the throne(王位), they die in their sleep. "But embarrassing scandals and the popularity of the republican left in the recent Euro-elections have forced him to eat his words and stand down. So does the Spanish crisis suggest that monarchy(君主制)is seeing its last days? Does that mean the writing is on the wall for all European royals, with their magnificent uniforms and majestic lifestyles?The Spanish case provides arguments both for and against monarchy. When public opinion is particularly polarized, as it was following the end of the Franco regime, monarchs can rise above mere politics and symbolize a spirit of national unity.It is this apparent transcendence(超越)of politics that explains monarchs continuing popularity as heads of state. And so, the Middle East excepted, Europe is the most monarch-filled region in the world, with 10 kingdoms (not counting Vatican City and Andorra). Most royal families have survived because they allow voters to avoid the difficult search for a non-controversial but respected public figure.Even so, kings and queens undoubtedly have a downside. Symbolic of national unity as they claim to be, their very history and sometimes the way they behave today symbolizes outdated and indefensible privileges and inequalities. At a time when Thomas Piketty and other economists are warning of rising inequality and the increasing power of inherited wealth, it is strange that wealthy noble families should still be the symbolic heart of modern democratic(民主的)states.The most successful monarchies try their best to abandon or hide their old noble ways. Princes and princesses have day-jobs and ride bicycles, not horses(or helicopters). Even so, these are wealthy families who party with the international 1%, and media interference makes it increasingly difficult to maintain the right image.1. According to the first two paragraphs, King Juan Carlos of Spain.A. used to enjoy high public supportB. was unpopular among European royalsC. eased his relationship with his rivalsD. gave up his throne in embarrassment2. Monarchs are kept as heads of state in Europe mostly.A. owing to their undoubted and respectable statusB. to achieve a balance between tradition and realityC. to give voters more public figures to look up toD. due to their everlasting political symbolizing3. Which of the following is shown to be strange, according to Paragraph 4?A. The noble families' excessive dependence on inherited wealthB. The role of the nobility in modern democraciesC. The simple lifestyle of the noble familiesD. The nobility's sticking to their privileges4. Which of the following is the best title of the text?A. Carlos, a good example of All European MonarchsB. Europe, the most monarch-filled region in the worldC. Carlos, a Lesson for All European MonarchsD. Europe, symbolic heart of modern democracy.Passage 4Many of us know about Russia’s Lake Baikal from our textbooks, or by listening to Chinese singer Li Jian’s hit song, Lie Baikal. But over the past decade, the world’s deepest freshwater lake has been in the spotlight for an extreme sport.Each March since 2005, about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon. They come to explore the lake’s breathtaking beauty and challenge themselves in unpredictable conditions. The 26-mile (41. 84-kilometers) journey starts on the lake’s eastern shore. In March, the ice is a meter thick and iron-hard. Runners cross this frozen surface, finishing on the western side of the lake.Known as the “blue eye of Siberia”, Lake Baikal has exceptionally clear waters. This means its ice is almost perfectly transparent (透明的). “Seen from above, a runner on the ice looks as if he or she were jogging through space. ” The New York Times noted.The landscape might be beautiful, but it’s also harsh. Strong winds blast (侵袭) across the lake and frostbite can occur within half an hour. Runners say the cold climateis what draws them. They want to test their limits.“When you are in such an environment, you don’t have cars around you, and you don’t have the noise around. I think these extreme races allow you to be alone with nature. ” Alicja Barahona, a 64-year-old runner from the US, told ABC news.The location offers some strange and unique characteristics for this marathon. The finishing line is visible from the start, but the endless white offers no progress markers. The race also ends with little fanfare (隆重的欢迎). Tourists crowding the ice are mostly addicted to snapping selfies (自拍) and just ignore the runners.For some runners, the absence of spectators makes the race more challenging, because it’s lonely. They must fight with themselves. “You are alone on Baikal. It is your race. You are alone with yourself. All you need to do is to defeat yourself. ” Veronique Messina, a French runner, told the Telegraph.1. What can we know about the Baikal Ice Marathon from the article?A.

At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to tal k for you, so you’re more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person’s understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other’s problems.The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don’t try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.56. What is the passage mainly about?A. The benefits of learning other languages.B. The reasons why people come to America.C. The importance of learning English.D. How to learn another language.57. The passage begins with the experience of the Vieira family in order to_______.A. discuss the need for teaching a new languageB. introduce the passage’s main characters to the readersC. describe the advantages of moving to another countryD. show the problems of speaking only one language58. The underlined phrase “multi-langu age speakers” (Paragraph 5) means “people who know ______.”A. their mother languageB. a new languageC. more than one languageD. body language59. According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can____.A. find a better jobB. make more friendsC. better understand historyD. communicate more independently60. Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?A. Not knowing another language.B. Forgetting one’s mothe r language.C. Refusing to learn another language.D. Failing to communicate with others.( D )PRIVATE ENGLISH LESSONSAn experienced teacher is offering private lessons in English.Please email me at the address below and tell me:◆Your age◆Reasons for learning English◆Your level of English◆Areas that you need to focus on – grammar, listening, speaking, reading, writing, etc.Mrs. Daniels( daniels_m@)From: Li_Hua@To: daniels_m@CC…:Subject: English LessonsDear Mrs. Daniels,I recently saw your advertisement on the university website offering private English lessons.
