（英语）高三英语阅读理解(一)解题方法和技巧及练习题及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Durian(榴莲) is probably the smelliest fruit in the world, letting out an unusual unpleasant smell which would make anyone bring up. However, nobody was aware of what gave this fruit its unique smell, so a team of researchers from Singapore decided to take a look at its genome (基因组) and find out,Durian is well-known throughout Southeast Asia as the king of fruits, mostly because of its awful appearance and smell. However, the origin of this unpleasant smell was unknown, so researchers decided to map the genome of the fruit, and find the gene that controlled it. A group of genes, volatile sulfur compounds (含硫化合物), became very active in the fruit, and they were found responsible for resulting in the unpleasant smell.The fruit confuses everyone with a sulfuric smell, like rotten onions and ingredients. The smell lasts long, mostly because the fruit contains more volatile sulfur compounds. Other species usually benefit from two gene copies at most, but durian has four, leading to the striking smell.However, this smell might be an advantage for durian in the wild. Although we find it unpleasant, many animals might be attracted by it. If they eat the fruit, then they can easily spread its seeds everywhere, thus contributing to the distribution of the species.The mapping of the durian genome also showed some other information on the species. First of all, the fruit has an impressive number of genes, namely 46,000. Also, with the help of these genes, they saw how it evolved, and discovered it was related to the cacao tree. All the other discoveries have been published in the journal Nature Genetics.Despite the striking smell, many people actually enjoy eating the fruit. However, not all durian species are edible, and some of them may even cause damage to our health, Even so, the fruit is often imported, significantly contributing to the economy.（1）What give durian its unique smell?A. Onions nearby.B. Two gene copies.C. Rotten ingredients in it.D. Volatile sulfur compounds.（2）What does the underlin ed word “evolved” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Developed.B. Escaped.C. Predicted.D. Tolerated.（3）What can we infer from the text?A. No birds enjoy eating durian.B. Durian can be planted all over the world.C. Some of durian species can not be eaten.D. Durian has no relationship with the cacao tree.（4）What's the best title for the text?A. What's Durian?B. The Influence of the SmellC. The Distribution of DurianD. The Mystery of the Unpleasant Smell of Durian 【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）C（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，新加坡的研究者找出导致水果有难闻气味的原因就是水果中含有的挥发性硫化合物非常活跃，这种气味对于野外生存榴莲来说有利于吸引动物来吃这种水果，同时传播种子。

雪夜星新一雪花像无数白色的小精灵，悠悠然从夜空中飞落到地球的脊背上。
整个大地很快铺上了一条银色的地毯。
在远离热闹街道的一幢旧房子里，冬夜的静谧和淡淡的温馨笼罩着这一片小小的空间。
火盆中燃烧的木炭偶尔发出的响动，更增浓了这种气氛。
“啊！外面下雪了。
”坐在火盆边烤火的房间主人自言自语地嘟哝了一句。
“是啊，难怪这么静呢！”老伴儿靠他身边坐着，将一双干枯的手伸到火盆上。
“这样安静的夜晚，我们的儿子一定能多学一些东西。
”房主人说着，向楼上望了一眼。
“孩子大概累了，我上楼给他送杯热茶去。
整天闷在屋里学习，我真担心他把身体搞坏了。
”“算了，算了，别去打搅他了。
他要是累了，或想喝点什么，自己会下楼来的。
你就别操这份心了。
父母的过分关心，往往容易使孩子头脑负担过重，反而不好。
”“也许你说得对。
可我每时每刻都在想，这毕业考试不是件轻松事。
我真盼望孩子能顺利地通过这一关。
”老伴儿含糊不清地嘟哝着，往火盆里加了几块木炭。
突然，一阵急促的敲门声打破了这寂静的气氛。
两人同时抬起头来，相互望着。
“有人来。
”房主人慢吞吞地站了起来，蹒跚地向门口走去。
随着开门声，一股寒风带着雪花挤了进来。
“谁啊？”“别问是谁。
老实点，不许出声！”门外一个陌生中年男子手里握着一把闪闪发光的匕首。
声音低沉，却掷地有声。
“你要干什么？”“少啰嗦，快老老实实地进去！不然……”陌生人晃了晃手中的匕首。
房主人只好转身向屋子里走去。
老伴儿迎了上来：“谁呀？是找我儿子……”她周身一颤，后边的话咽了回去。
“对不起，我是来取钱的。
如果识相的话，我也不难为你们。
”陌生人手中的匕首在炭火的映照下，更加寒光闪闪。
“啊，啊，我和老伴儿都是上了年纪的人，不中用了。
你想要什么就随便拿吧。
但请您千万不要到楼上去。
”房主人哆哆嗦嗦地说。
“噢？楼上是不是有更贵重的东西？”陌生人眼睛顿时一亮，露出一股贪婪的神色。
2020英语一阅读理解text1
2020英语一阅读理解text1英文回答：The passage discusses the impact of technology on our lives, specifically focusing on the negative effects it has on our mental health. It argues that while technology has made our lives more convenient, it has also led to increased stress, anxiety, and depression.One of the main points made in the passage is that technology has created a constant need for connectivity and instant gratification. With smartphones and social media, we are constantly bombarded with notifications, messages, and updates. This constant stream of information can be overwhelming and lead to a sense of always being "on" and never being able to truly disconnect or relax. For example, I personally feel a sense of anxiety when I see a large number of unread messages or notifications on my phone. This constant need to be connected can also lead to a fear of missing out (FOMO), as we are constantly exposed to thehighlights of other people's lives on social media. Thiscan create feelings of inadequacy and negatively impact our self-esteem.Another point made in the passage is that technologyhas also affected our ability to focus and concentrate.With the rise of multitasking and constant distractions,our attention spans have become shorter. We are constantly switching between tasks and being pulled in different directions, which can make it difficult to fully engage in any one activity. For instance, I often find myselfchecking my phone or browsing social media while trying to work or study, which significantly reduces my productivity. This constant state of distraction can also lead tofeelings of frustration and dissatisfaction.Furthermore, the passage highlights the impact of technology on our sleep patterns. The blue light emitted by screens can disrupt our natural sleep-wake cycle, making it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. Many of us are guilty of using our smartphones or tablets right before bed, which can interfere with the production of melatonin, ahormone that regulates sleep. As a result, we may experience difficulty falling asleep, poor sleep quality, and daytime sleepiness. I have personally experienced this firsthand, as I often find it difficult to fall asleepafter using my phone late at night.In conclusion, while technology has undoubtedly brought many benefits to our lives, it is important to recognize and address the negative impact it can have on our mental health. The constant need for connectivity, the impact on our ability to focus, and the disruption of our sleep patterns are all significant factors that can contribute to increased stress, anxiety, and depression. It is crucial to find a balance and establish healthy habits when it comes to our use of technology.中文回答：这篇文章讨论了科技对我们生活的影响，特别关注了它对我们的心理健康产生的负面影响。
英语阅读理解五篇及答案(一)
英语阅读理解五篇及答案（一）第一篇This new school year is especially for some elementary school students in Auckland,New Zealand.They became the world’s first kids to be“taught” by a digital teacher.Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom,Will—the digital teacher,is just an avatar that appears on the student’s desktop,or smartphone screen,when ordered to come.Just like humans,Will is able to instantly react to the students’responses to the topic.He not only responds to the kids’questions,but also picks up no n-verbal cues.For instance,if a student smiles at Will,he responds by smiling back.This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students’attention, but also allows the program's developers to monitor their engagement,and make changes if needed.Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a new way to cat ch the attention of the next generation.He says,“1have a lot of hope in the technology.However,regardless of how popular it becomes.Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.1.What was special some elementary school students in Auckland? （）A.This was a new school yearB.They saw something digitalC.They have new desktopD.A digital teacher taught them2.From the passage we know that ______.A.Will cannot respond to the kids’ questionsB.Will can hardly pick up non-verbal cuesC.Will is very popular with the studentsD.it is unlikely for Will to capture children’ attention3.What is the benefit of this two-way interaction? ( )A.It can smile backB.It can use microphoneC.It can talk any topicD.It can change if necessary4.What’s Ravishankar’s attitude to Will’s replacing Human educators soon?（）A.DisapprovingB.DiffidentC.OptimisticD.Unclear5.What might be the best title for the passage?（）A.Shortage of Human TeachersB.World-first Digital TeachersC.A New School YearD.New Contributes to Education第二篇A simple piece of clothesline hangs between some environmentally friendly Americans neighbors.On one side stand those who see clothes dryers as a waste of energyand a major polluter of the environment.As a result,they are turning to clothe slines as part of the“what-I-can do environmentalism.”______Arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant to look at.They have persuaded Homeowners Associations（HOAs）across the US to ban outdoor clotheslines,because clothesline drying also tends to lower home value inthe neighborhood.This has led to a Right-to-Dry Movement that is calling for laws to be passed to protect people’s right to use clotheslines.So far,only three states have laws to protect clotheslines.Right-to-Dry supporters argue that there should be more.Matt Reck,37,is the kind of eco-conscious person who feeds his trees with bathwater and reuses water drops from his air conditioners to water plants.His family also uses a clothesline,but on July9,2007,the HOA in Wake Forest,North Carolina,told him that a dissatisfied neighbor had telephoned them about his clothesline.The Recks paid no attention to the warming,and sill dried their clothes on a line in the yard.“Many people say they are envi ronmentally friendly but they don’t take matters into their own hands.”saysReck.The local HOA has decided not to take any action,unless more neighbors come to them.North Carolina lawmakers are saying that banning clotheslines is not the right thing to do.But HOAs and housing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor neighborhoods.They worry that if buyers think their future neighbors can’t even afford dryers,housing prices will fall.Environmentalists say such worries are not necessary,and in view of global warming,that idea needs to change.As they say,“The clothesline is beautiful.Hanging clothes outside should be encouraged.We all have to do at least something to slow down the process of global warming.”1.One of the reasons why supporters of clothes dryers are trying t o ban clothesline drying is that ______.A.clothes dryers are more efficientB.clothesline drying reduces home valueC.clothes dryers are energy-savingD.clothesline drying is not allowed in most US states2.Which of following is the most suitable to be put in the blank a t the beginning of Paragraph 3?A.On the other side are people who are against drying clothes.B.Some other people dry their clothes on a line in the yard.C.Moreover, some environmentally friendly Americans prefer saving energy.D.Besides outdoor clotheslines should not be allowed to use in the yard.3.Which of the following best describes Matt Reck?A.He is an impolite man.B.He is a kind-hearted man.C.He is an experienced gardener.D.He is a man of social responsibility.4.Who are in favor of clothesline drying?A.Housing businessesB.EnvironmentalistsC.Homeowners AssociationsD.Reck’s dissatisfied neighbors5.What is mainly discussed in the text?A.Clothesline drying a way to save energy and money.B.Clothesline drying a lost art rediscovered.C.Opposite opinions on clothesline drying.D.Different varieties of clotheslines.第三篇On a hot day in Alexander City, Alabama, summer school was in full swing. Two girls were reading "Julius Caesar" as two others wrestled with maths. A boy worked his way through a psychology quiz, and a teacher monitored an online discussion with students from around the state: Was Napoleon the last enlightened despot(专制君主）or the first modern dictator?This is not a traditional classroom scene, but it has become common enough in Alabama. The state has many small, rural schools. Because of their size, and the relative scarcity of specialized teachers, course offerings have been limited. Students might have had to choose between chemistry or physics, or stop after two years of Spanish. But thanks to an innovative experiment with online education, the picture has changed dramatically.In 2005, the governor, Bob Riley, announced a pilot programme called Alabama Connecting Classrooms Educators and Students Statewide, or ACCESS. The idea was to use internet and videoconferencing technology to link students in one town to teachers in another. It was something of a pet cause for Mr. Riley, who comes from a rural county himself. He was especially keen that students should have a chance to learn Chinese.There were skeptics. The pilot programme cost $10 million, not pocket change in a poor state. Teachers worried about how they would connect totheir virtual students. But ACCESS quickly became a hit. In 2006, students took more than 4, 000 courses at 24 schools. In 2008, with ACCESS now in more schools, the number exceeded 22,000. Administrators are finding new ways to live up the experience. Last year a dozen schools went on a "virtual field trip" to Antarctica, with scientists beamed in by satellite, and a school in Birmingham has been liaising(取得联系）with a counterpart in Wales.As for the goal of leveling the academic playing field, the state is pleased so far. Joe Morton, the state superintendent of schools, points to the number of black students taking AP courses. In 2003, according to the College Board, just 4.5% of Alabama’s successful AP students (those who passed the subject exam) were black. In 2008, the number was up to 7.1%. There is still a big gap — almost a third of the state’s students are black — but the improvement in Alabama was the largest in the country over that period. "That makes it all worthwhile right there," says Mr. Morton.1.Why summer school is popular in Alabama?A.Because there are many rural schools in this state.B.Because there are not enough skilled teachers in this state.C.Because the online education made it possible.D.Because the courses for students are limited in number.2.What's Bob Riley's view about the ACCESS?A.It is not practical in the rural areas.D.It was set up for Chinese learning.C.It only connects part of the schools in Alabama.D.It can link the students and teachers in different towns.3.The "virtual field trip" is mentioned by the author to _____.A.indicate the government's efforts on ACCESSB.show that the ACCESS is costlyC.declare teachers worries on ACCESSD.point out the difficulties on ACCESS4.What can we learn about the effect of providing a fair academic atmosphere?A.There is little change by now since the implement of ACCESS.B.The black students have got benefits from this programme.C.The efforts devoted on ACCESS were not deserved.D.Almost a third of the students in Alabama have the education chance.5.It can be concluded from the whole passage that online education _____.A.is a cheap plan to AlabamaB.is not practical in AlabamaC.can improve the education qualityD.has been available to all American states第四篇Extinction has recently become a catchword（时髦话）. Every day entire species of plants and animals die out，and for the first time in history this is due to the actions of just one species: humans. We already know about five mass extinctions，and now a sixth seems to be under way. This one is different，because it is man-made. Deforestation（毁林）of the rain forests is just one aspect of the phenomenon. Most people may have heard about that，but few people know that most of the species existing in the rain forests have never been described by science. Often，they die out before we ever know they existed. Nobody can tell what treasures we lose，perhaps a cure for cancer or other modern-day diseasesWorld-famous Harvard professor Edward O. Wilson examines life on our planet in his book The Diversity （多样性）of Life. He doesn’t lecture his readers，but states in a matter-of-fact way what is known about the Earths past and the impact of mankind on its plant and animal life. Meanwhile，he suggests solutions for the present crisis.If you are interested in the future of planet Earth and want to learn to see the bigger picture，this is the book for you. This is no light bedtime reading and will probably leave you feeling uneasy. However，it’s important for people living in the 21st century to think about how we can pass at least part of thisdiversity on to our children. Recent research shows that Earth needs about 10 million years to restore the lost diversity of species after a great crisis. Ten million years are not much in terms of the life of a planet，but the period is way too long for mankind. Wilson’s book should help us to start a process of reconsideration.1.Judging from the context，what does the word “extinction” （Line 1，Para 1）mean?Dying out of an entire species.Killing of wild animals by man.Deforestation of the rain forest.Death of many plants and animals.2.Why is the present mass extinction different from the five previous ones?Because it is larger in scale.Because it is caused by man.Because the lost diversity can never be restored.Because it threatens the very existence of humans.3.How long does the Earth need to restore the lost diversity of species after a great crisis according to recent research?About 10 million years.21 centuries.A life-long time.It could never be restored.4.It can be inferred from the passage that ______.now there are more species on our planet than before.every plant or animal is described in the book The Diversity of Life.without man’s interference every species would have survived.many species lived and died without ever being noticed by man.5.What is the chief purpose of Edward O. Wilson in writing the book The Diversity of Life?To provide readers with some interesting bedtime reading.To help specialists do research on plant and animal life.To arouse readers’ interest in the history of our planet.To remind us of the urgency of preserving the diversity of life.第五篇Chinese people are very hospitable and like to treat friends or business partners to a sumptuous dinner to show their hospitality and sincerity. Such dinners are important for Chinese, and many business deals are settled there.The seating arrangement is very particular, but may differ from place to place.Generally, the table for a banquet is round. The head seat is the central one that faces the entrance door, and this is normally where the host sits. Sometimes it can also be reserved for the guest who is either the eldest, the most important, or holds the highest rank.The seat on the immediate right is for the honored guest, and the seat on the immediate left is for the second guest. The seating arrangement usually follows two principals: one relates to the distance to the head seat, and the other gives priority to seats on the right.The seat opposite the head seat is usually taken by a person from the hosting group: sometimes it suggests that the person who is seated there will pay for the dinner.In a Chinese dinner, keeping the balance between the proportion of meat and vegetable dishes is viewed a a given. Normally, the main guest, olderpeople or those of higher rank are given the honor of ordering. Sometimes the host will order according to guest tastes.In a Chinese dinner, cold dishes are served first, then hot dishes, then staple food, fruits are served last. Cold dishes are regularly ordered in an even number depending on the number of guests. The number of hot dishes, as for main courses, usually falls as four, six or eight (or other even numbers because Chinese people believe them to be lucky). Regular dinner usually has six to twelve hot dishes Staples such as rice, pancakes, noodles, dumplings and others are provided after the hot dishes, then sometimes comes soup, with fruit served at the end.Unlike most Westerners, Chinese usually share all of the dishes on the table. There is usually a large rotating tray, and all the dishes ordered are placed on it. When eating one uses chopsticks or a spoon transfer the food into one’s own plate or bowl. People take just one portion each time not all the food they want to eat.In daily life, chopsticks also play an important role in Chinese table manners and some principals need to be kept in mind. Before the meal, the chopstick should be placed parallel to one another on the right side of one’s plate or bowl; during the meal, the chopsticks should be placed on the rack or plate after use, not placed casually back on the table. After the meal, thechopsticks should be placed in a vertical line on the middle of the rice bowl Do not use chopsticks to turn over the food in the dishes. Do not point at people with the chopsticks during a meal.In China, the dinner bill will usually be paid by the one who issued the invitation, but sometimes Chinese will compete to pay for the bill. This is mainly related to the culture of maintaining face. Chinese usually believe that whoever pays the bill is more generous and values the friendship more, and thus gains more face.China is a country with a splendid catering culture diverse in its various culinary regions; just remember, “A guest should suit the convenience of the host” and “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”.1.Which of the following statements about seating arrangement is NOT TRUE?A.Generally, round tables are used at Chinese banquets.B.The seat facing the entrance is the seat of honor.C.The seat opposite the head seat is usually reserved for the eldest.D.Those of higher position sit closer to the head seat.2.The main courses usually are ordered in even number because ______.A.Chinese people like to share the dishes with othersB.Even number symbolize the longevity and immortality in ChinaC.It is a traditional way to show respect to the guestsD.Chinese people regard even numbers as lucky numbers3. In a Chinese dinner, rice is usually served ______.A.before the cold dishesB.after the hot dishesC.after the soupD.at the end14.Which of the following behaviors may be regarded as impolite when using the chopsticks?A.During the meal, placing the chopstick on the rack of plate after use.B.Before the meal, placing the chopstick parallel to one another on the right side of the bowl.C.During the meal, inserting the chopsticks into the bowls or dishes.D.When eating, using chopsticks to transfer the food into one’s own plate or bowl.15.Why do Chinese people compete to be the one to pay for the bill according to the passage?A.To establish trust.B.To prove that they are humble and polite.C.To show they are very rich.D.To maintain face.答案第一篇1.本题考查细节题。

考研英一真题阅读理解
考研英一真题阅读理解考研英一真题阅读理解1A new survey by Harvard University finds more than two-thirds of young Americans disapprove of President Trump’s use of Twitter. The implication is that Millennials prefer news from the White House to be filtered through other source, Not a president’s social media platform.Most Americans rely on social media to check daily headlines. Yet as distrust has risen toward all media, people may be starting to beef up their media literacy skills. Such a trend is badly needed. During the 20XX presidential campaign, nearly a quarter of web content shared by Twitter users in the politically critical state of Michigan was fake news, according to the University of Oxford. And a survey conducted for BuzzFeed News found 44 percent of Facebook users rarely or never trust news from the media giant.Young people who are digital natives are indeed becoming more skillful at separating fact from fiction in cyberspace. A Knight Foundation focus-group survey of young people between ages14and24 f ound they use “distributed trust” to verify stories. Theycross-check sources and prefer news from different perspectives—especially those that are open about any bias. “Many young people assume a great deal of personal responsibility for educating themselves and actively seeking out opposing viewpoints,” the survey concluded.Such active research can have another effect. A 20XX survey conducted in Australia, Britain, and the United States by the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that young people’s reliance on social media led to greater political engagement.Social media allows users to experience news events more intimately and immediately while also permitting them to re-share news as a projection of their values and interests. This forces users to be more conscious of their role in passing along information. A survey by Barna research group found the top reason given by Americans for the fake news phenomenon is “reader error,” more so than made-up stories or factual mistakes in reporting. About a third say the problem of fake news lies in “misinterpretation or exaggeration of actual news” via social media. In other words, the choice to share news on social media may be the heart of the issue. “This indicates there is a real personal responsibility incounteracting this problem,” says Roxanne Stone, editor in chief at Barna Group.So when young people are critical of an over-tweeting president, they reveal a mental discipline in thinking skills – and in their choices on when to share on social media.26. According to the Paragraphs 1 and 2, many young Americans cast doubts on[A] the justification of the news-filtering practice.[B] people’s preference for social media platforms.[C] the administrations ability to handle information.[D] social media was a reliable source of news.27. The phrase “beer up”(Line 2, Para. 2) is closest in meaning to[A] sharpen[B] define[C] boast[D] share28. According to the knight foundation survey, young people[A] tend to voice their opinions in cyberspace.[B] verify news by referring to diverse resources.[C] have s strong sense of responsibility.[D] like to exchange views on “distributed trust”29. The Barna survey found that a main cause for the fake news problem is[A] readers outdated values.[B] journalists’ biased reporting[C] readers’ misinterpretation[D] journalists’ made-up stories.30. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?[A] A Rise in Critical Skills for Sharing News Online[B] A Counteraction Against the Over-tweeting Trend[C] The Accumulation of Mutual Trust on Social Media.[D] The Platforms for Projection of Personal Interests.考研英一真题阅读理解2Just how much does the Constitution protect your digital data? The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.California has asked the justices to refrain from a sweeping ruling, particularly one that upsets the old assumptions that authorities may search through the possessions of suspects at the time of their arrest. It is hard, the state argues, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies.The court would be recklessly modest if it followed Californias advice. Enough of the implications are discernable, even obvious, so that the justice can and should provide updated guidelines to police, lawyers and defendants.They should start by discarding Californias lame argument that exploring the contents of a smartphone- a vast storehouse of digital information is similar to say, going through a suspects purse .The court has ruled that police dont violate the Fourth Amendment when they go through the wallet or pocketbook, of an arrestee without a warrant. But exploring ones smartphone is more like entering his or her home. A smartphone may contain an arrestees reading history, financial history, medical history andcomprehensive records of recent correspondence. The development of "cloud computing." meanwhile, has made that exploration so much the easier.But the justices should not swallow Californias argument whole. New, disruptive technology sometimes demands novel applications of the Constitutions protections. Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 21st century with the establishment of automobile use as a digital necessity of life in the 20th: The justices had to specify novel rules for the new personal domain of the passenger car then; they must sort out how the Fourth Amendment applies to digital information now.26. The Supreme court, will work out whether, during an arrest, it is legitimate to[A] search for suspects mobile phones without a warrant.[B] check suspects phone contents without being authorized.[C] prevent suspects from deleting their phone contents.[D] prohibit suspects from using their mobile phones.27. The authors attitude toward Californias argument is one of[A] tolerance.[B] indifference.[C] disapproval.[D] cautiousness.28. The author believes that exploring ones phone content is comparable to[A] getting into ones residence.[B] handing ones historical records.[C] scanning ones correspondences.[D] going through ones wallet.29. In Paragraph 5 and 6, the author shows his concern that[A] principles are hard to be clearly expressed.[B] the court is giving police less room for action.[C] phones are used to store sensitive information.[D] citizens privacy is not effective protected.30.Orin Kerrs comparison is quoted to indicate that(A)the Constitution should be implemented flexibly.(B)New technology requires reinterpretation of the Constitution.(C)Californias argument violates principles of the Constitution.(D)Principles of the Constitution should never be altered.考研英一真题阅读理解3An old saying has it that half of all advertising budgets are wasted-the trouble is, no one knows which half . In the internet age, at least in theory ,this fraction can be much reduced . By watching what people search for, click on and say online, companies can aim “behavioural” ads at those most likely to buy.In the past couple of weeks a quarrel has illustrated the value to advertisers of such fine-grained information: Should advertisers assume that people are happy to be tracked and sent behavioural ads? Or should they have explicit permission?In December 20XX Americas Federal Trade Cornmission (FTC) proposed adding a "do not track "(DNT) option to internet browsers ,so that users could tell adwertisers that they did not want to be followed .Microsofts Internet Explorer and Apples Safari both offer DNT ;Googles Chrome is due to do so this year. InFebruary the FTC and Digltal Adwertising Alliance (DAA) agreed that the industry would get cracking on responging to DNT requests.On May 31st Microsoft Set off the row: It said that Internet Explorer 10,the version due to appear windows 8, would have DNT as a default.It is not yet clear how advertisers will respond. Geting a DNT signal does not oblige anyone to stop tracking, although some companies have promised to do so. Unable to tell whether someone really objects to behavioural ads or whether they are sticking with Microsoft’s default, some may ign ore a DNT signal and press on anyway.Also unclear is why Microsoft has gone it alone. Atter all, it has an ad business too, which it says will comply with DNT requests, though it is still working out how. If it is trying to upset Google, which relies almost wholly on default will become the norm. DNT does not seem an obviously huge selling point for windows8-though the firm has compared some of its other products favourably with Googles on that count before. Brendon Lynch, Microsofts chief privacy officer, bloggde:"we believe consumers should have more control." Could it really be that simple?26. It is suggested in paragraph 1 that “behavioural” ads help advertisers to:[A] ease competition among themselves[B] lower their operational costs[C] avoid complaints from consumers[D] provide better online services27. “The industry” (Line 6,Para.3) refers to:[A] online advertisers[B] e-commerce conductors[C] digital information analysis[D] internet browser developers28. Bob Liodice holds that setting DNT as a default[A] many cut the number of junk ads[B] fails to affect the ad industry[C] will not benefit consumers[D] goes against human nature29. which of the following is ture according to Paragraph.6?[A] DNT may not serve its intended purpose[B] Advertisers are willing to implement DNT[C] DNT is losing its popularity among consumers[D] Advertisers are obliged to offer behavioural ads30. The authors attitude towards what Brendon Lynch said in his blog is one of:[A] indulgence[B] understanding[C] appreciaction[D] skepticism。

《桥》课内阅读理解3篇
《桥》阅读理解1黎明的时候，雨突然大了，像泼，像倒。
山洪咆哮着，像一群受惊的野马，从山谷里疯狂奔出来，势不可挡。
村庄惊醒了。
人们翻身下床，却一脚踩进水里。
是谁惊慌地喊了一嗓子，一百多号人你拥我挤地向南跑，可是，两尺多高的洪水已经开始在路面上跳舞。
人们又疯了似的折回来。
东面、西面没有路，只有北面那座窄窄的木桥。
死亡在洪水的狞笑声中逼近。
人们跌跌撞撞地向那木桥拥去。
木桥前，没腿深的水里，站着他们的党支部书记，那个全村人都拥戴的老汉。
老汉清瘦的脸上流着雨水。
他不说话，盯着乱哄哄的人们，他像一座山。
人们停住脚，望着老汉。
老汉沙哑地喊话：“桥窄。
排成一队，不要挤。
党员排在后边。
”有人喊了一声：“党员也是人。
”老汉冷冷地说：“可以退党，到我这儿报名。
”竟没人再喊，一百多人很快排成队伍，依次从老汉身边奔上木桥。
水渐渐蹿上来，放肆地舔着人们的腰。
老汉突然冲上前，从队伍里揪出一个小伙子，吼道：“你还算是个党员吗?排到后面去 !”老汉凶得像只豹子。
小伙子瞪了老汉一眼，站到了后面。
木桥开始发抖，开始痛苦地呻吟。
水，爬上了老汉的胸膛。
终于，只剩下了他和小伙子。
小伙子推了老汉一把，说：“你先走。
”老汉吼道：“少废话，快走。
”他用力把小伙子推上木桥。
突然，那木桥轰地一声塌了，小伙子被洪水吞没了。
老汉似乎要喊什么，猛然间一个浪头也吞没了他。
一片白茫茫的世界。
五天以后，洪水退了。
一个老太太被人搀着扶着，来这里祭奠。
她来祭奠两个人。
她的丈夫和她的儿子。

高一必修一语文阅读理解经典题
高一语文阅读理解(一)我曾经想过，如若人们开始爱惜光阴，那末他的生命的积储是有—部分耗蚀的了。
年青人往往不知珍惜光阴，犹如拥资巨万的富家子，他可以任意挥霍他的钱财，等到黄金垂尽便吝啬起来，而懊悔从前的浪费了。
最近的一个秋日的傍晚，我在近郊散步，我迎着苍黄的落日走过去，复背着它的光辉走回来，足踩着自己的影子。
“我是牵着我的思想在散步，”我对自己说，“我是踪蹑着我的影子，看我赶不赶得过它?”我携着我的思想一同散步。
它是羞怯得畏见阳光，老躲在我的影子里。
使得我和它谈话，不得不偏过头去，伛偻着身子，正如一个高大的男子低头和身边的女子说话，是那么轻声地，絮絮地。
我们走着走着，不知从哪里来的一枚树叶，飘坠在我们的脚前。
那样轻，怕跌碎的样子。
要不是四周是那么静寂，我准不会注意。
但我注意到了，我捡了起来，我试想分辨它是什么树叶?梧桐的，枫树的，还是樗栎的?但我恍若看到这不是一张树叶，分明是一张日历，一张被不可见的手扯下来的日历。
这上面写着的是一个无形的字：“秋。
”“秋!”我微喟一声。
“秋，秋。
”我的思想躲在我的影子里和答我。
我感到有点迟暮了。
好像这个字代表一段逝去的光阴。
“逝去的光阴。
”我的思想如刁钻的精灵，摸着了我的心思。
“光……阴。
”这两个平声的没有低昂的字眼，在我的耳边震响。
光阴要逝去么?却借落叶通知我。
我岂不曾拥有过大量的光阴，这年青人的财产，一如富贾之子拥有巨资。
我曾是光阴富有者。
同时我也想起了两个惜阴的人。
正是这样秋暖的日子，在很早很早以前。
家门前的禾场上排列着一行行的谷簟，在阳光下曝晒着田里新收割来的谷粒。
芙蓉花盛开着。
我坐在它的荫下，坐在一只竹箩里面——我的身子还装不满一竹箩——玩着谷堆里捉来的蚱蜢螳螂和甲虫，我玩着玩着，无意识地玩去我的光阴。
祖父匆匆出去，匆匆回来，复匆匆出去，不肯有一刻休息。
但是他珍惜也没有用，他仅有不多的光阴。
等到他在一个悄然的夜晚，撇下我们而去时，我还不懂他为什么要离开我们，原来他把光阴用尽了。

100篇小学语文阅读理解及答案(1)
100篇小学语文阅读理解及答案！重磅推荐1．快乐与感触依稀记得在我两三岁的时候，我天天跟着妈妈到学校里玩耍，那时妈妈在学校里给幼儿班代课。
课间一群比我大点的孩子们总是围着我说啊、笑啊、眯眯眼做做鬼脸什么的，也有不停地给我手中或嘴里塞干粮的。
他们一听到铃声嘴里“ 哦———” 着飞也似的进了教室。
于是我便一人悠闲自在地在校园里溜达：一步一步地踱到东边看看美丽的花儿；爬到西边的球台上翻着晒晒太阳；听到南边教室里悠扬的歌声，于是又跑到窗户下踮着脚使劲儿地仰起头向里看；仰倦了头嘴里嘟嘟地哼着，若无其事的来到北面那两块瓷砖镶嵌的大地图下，看着那些花花绿绿的条条块块，也不知道是些什么。
如今，我已是那时年龄的四倍了，仍在这熟悉温暖的校园里，那时一切不懂的，今天都明白了。
那时的快乐依在，那时的天真依在。
不过现在我所看到的、听到的、感悟的比那时多得多了。
清晨的校园，阳光钻透东边茂密的柳林，斑驳的光点印在绿绿的草坪上。
无数只鸟儿横着或倒挂在柔柔的柳条上凑响清脆的晨曲。
在通向教师办公大楼的水泥道上，陆陆续续晃过一群高大的身影———我们的老师，他们又上班去了。
当校园正中升起鲜艳的五星红旗时，悦耳的歌声和朗朗的读书声早已把校园装点得生机勃勃。
我再不需要像过去那样踮脚仰头地去向往了。
我尽心地在这宽敞明亮的教室里学习，聆听着老师的教诲，享受着群体的温暖与关爱。
课间，我们三三俩俩去拉着或牵着幼儿班的那些小娃娃，说啊、笑啊、眯眯眼做做鬼脸什么的，也有不停地给他们手中或嘴里塞泡泡糖的。
有一天，我把三四个小娃娃牵到北面那两块瓷砖镶嵌的大地图下，学着老师的样子摇头晃脑、指着地图比比划划地讲：“这是中国，这是长江、那是黄河……，我们的学校在这里，要记住，别忘记。
看我的手好大，把一个省都罩住了。
” 小娃娃们叽叽喳喳地笑个不停，我也笑得前俯后仰。
上课铃响了，我们“哦———”着飞也似的进了教室。
那天我们进了教室，唱完了一首长长的歌，没见老师来，于是我站起来对大家说：“大家先读读书吧，我去办公室看看”。

目前研究已经知道，月球和其他行星上，存在着大量的铁、硅等资源。
而且，人类进入地球轨道和外层空间后会发现，资源不仅是人们传统意义上理解的矿藏，特殊的环境和条件也是人类可以利用的重要资源。
②高远的位置、空间微重力环境、强宇宙粒子射线辐射和高真空环境，就是这种地面所不具备的极其宝贵的资源。
③也就是说，高远位置也是一种资源。
人们都会有这种体会，站在地上只能看到眼前一点大的地方，站在高山上极目四眺，则“一览众山小”。
我们利用位置资源，已经发射了通信、气象和对地遥感卫星，促进了人类社会的进步。
④人之所以站在地球上而不会掉进茫茫太空，是由于重量和地球引力的存在。
而在太空中航天器里的物体，处于微重力状态，物体可悬浮空中飘忽不定。
空气、水受热后，不会出现上下对流的情况，比重不同的液体，可在一起和平共处。
这种奇特环境，对人类从事新材料加工，细胞、蛋白质晶体的生长与培养是十分有利的。
⑤我们每天呼吸的空气，其密度随离海平面距离的升高而减小，到达100公里以上的高度，已逐渐成为真空。

（一）托起我的手臂我和孩子经常在林间小路上散步，他总是抓住我的胳膊向上托。
我问他是不是妈妈老了，他没有说什么，笑着跳着跑远了。
晚上，老师打来电话告诉我，孩子几乎每个课间都要去卫生间，回来上课时都会迟到。
我的心一下子揪了起来，他在幼儿园曾经有过这个毛病，在医生的帮助下调养了很久才好的。
放下电话我心急如焚，但医生说过，治疗这种病不能有心理压力，我决定先观察几天。
星期六是他的七岁生日，亲友们热热闹闹地聚在了一家餐厅。
各式各样的生日礼物，金灿灿的王冠，祝福的蛋糕，都让人兴奋无比。
凑巧，这天餐厅里还有两个孩子过生日。
于是几家人建议让三个小寿星在一起过生日，孩子们兴奋得欢呼起来。
餐厅老板提出让孩子们说说自己的理想是什么，并答应送给孩子们礼物。
第一个孩子说要当警察，第二个孩子说要做警察局长，大家笑得前仰后合。
轮到我儿子了，那一刻，小小的餐厅显得异常安静。
他用清亮的声音说：“我的理想是，永远和安锐一起上厕所，但理由我不会说的。
”哄笑声，惊呼声，大人们惊诧地交头接耳，家人十分尴尬。
两个孩子边笑边喊着：“你脑子有病啊！”老板不停地干咳，左看看右看看，不知如何是好。
我的直觉告诉我，一定要以最快的速度带我的孩子离开这里。
我们没有回家，在一片树林里散步。
“妈妈，你记得安锐吗？我上幼儿园的同学。
”孩子托着我的手臂。
我想起，三年前安锐从五楼的阳台上跌下来，伤得很重。
儿子告诉我，安锐现在还是他的同学。
他有严重的后遗症，双腿软弱无力，在学校上厕所的时候，总要跪着上，而且他每节课都要去卫生间。
有许多同学去帮助他，可是安锐无法容忍老师在表扬那些同学的时候，总是要提到他“上厕所”这几个字。
安锐感到羞耻。
他恼怒地拒绝别人的帮助。
儿子告诉安锐，他会为他保密，他不要表扬，不要小红花，所以安锐接受了他的帮助。
我终于知道了，我的孩子身体没有病，我也知道了，孩子搀扶安锐已经成了一种习惯，所以才会那样去托起我的手臂，他的善良也成为一种习惯。
（）1．接到老师的电话，妈妈的心一下子揪了起来，这是因为：A 星期六是他的七岁生日，妈妈怕他不能参加生日聚会。

(40 points)Text1France，which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women. Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways. The parliament also agreed to ban websites that “incite excessive thinness” by promoting extreme dieting.Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives. They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health. That’s a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starving themselves to death –as some have done. It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it sends women, especially teenage girls, about the social tape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth.The bans, if fully enforced, would suggest to women (and many men) that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty. And perhaps faintly, they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waist physiques.The French measures, however, rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep-and bone-showing. Under the law, using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index of body mass could result in a $85,000 fine and six months in prison.The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types. In Denmark, the United States, and a few other countries, it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement.In contrast to France’s actions, Denmark’s fashion industry agr eed last month on rules and sanctions regarding the age, health, and other characteristics of models. The newly revised Danish Fashion Ethical Charter clearly states:”We are aware of and take responsibility for the impact the fashion industry has on body ideals, especially on young people”. The charter’s main tool of enforcement is to denyaccess for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week (CFW), which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute. But in general it relies on a name-and -shame method of compliance.Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misuse of body ideals may be the best step. Even better would be to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry.21. According to the first paragraph，what would happen in France?[A]Physical beauty would be redefined.[B]New runways would be constructed.[C]Websites about dieting would thrive.[D]The fashion industry would decline.22. The phrase “impinging on”(Line 2，Para.2) is closest in meaning to[A]heightening the value of[B]indicating the state of[C]losing faith in[D]doing harm to23. Which of the following is true of the fashion industry?[A]The French measures have already failed.[B]New standards are being set in Denmark.[C]Models are no longer under peer pressure.[D]Its inherent problems are getting worse.24.A designer is most likely to be rejected by CFW for[A]pursuing perfect physical conditions[B]caring too much about model’s character.[C]showing little concern for health factors[D]setting a high age threshold for models.25.Which of the following may be the best title of the text?[A]A Challenge to the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals[B]A Dilemma for the Starving models in France[C]Just Another Round of Struggle for Beauty[D]The Great Threats to the Fashion Industry21.答案 A Physical beauty would be redefined解析：这是一道细节题，根据France定位到第一段第一句，主干成分为France has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty。

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1Nearly 2,000 years ago, as the Romans began to pull out of Scotland, they left behind a curious treasure: 10 tons of nails, nearly a million of the things. The nail hoard wasdiscovered in 1960 in a four-metre-deep pit covered by two metres of gravel.Why had the Romans buried a million nails? The likely explanation is that the withdrawal was rushed, and they didn’t want the local Caledonians getting their hands on 10 tons of weapon-grade iron. The Romans buried the nails so deep that they would not be discovered for almost two millennia.Later civilisations would value the skilled blacksmith’s labour in a nail even more than the raw material. As Roma Agrawal explains in her new delightful book Nuts and Bolts, early 17th-century Virginians would sometimes burn down their homes if they were planning to relocate. This was an attempt to recover the valuable nails, which could be reused after sifting the ashes. The idea that one might burn down an entire house just to reclaim the nails underlines how scarce, costly and valuable the simple-seeming technology was.The price of nails fell by 90% between the late 1700s and mid-1900s, as economist Daniel Sichel points out in a research paper. According to Sichel, although the falling price of nails was driven partly by cheaper iron and cheaper energy, most of the creditgoes to nail manufacturers who simply found more efficient ways to turn steel into nails.Nails themselves have changed over the years, but Sichel studied them because they haven’t changed much. Roman lamps and Roman chariots are very different from LED strips and sports cars, but Roman nails are still clearly nails. It would be absurd to try to track the changing price of sports cars since 1695, but to ask the same question of nails makes perfect sense.I make no apology for being obsessed by a particular feature of everyday objects: their price. I am an economist, after all. After writing two books about the history of inventions, one thing I’ve learnt is that while it is the enchantingly sophisticated technologies that get all the hype, it’s the cheap technologies that change the world. The Gutenberg printing press transformed civilisation not by changing the nature of writing but by changing its cost —and it would have achieved little without a parallel collapse in the price of surfaces to write on, thanks to an often-overlooked technology called paper. Solar panels had a few niche uses until they became cheap;now they are transforming the global energy system.21. The Romans buried the nails probably for the sake ofA. saving them for future use.B. keeping them from rusting.C. letting them grow in value.D. hiding them from the locals.22. The example of early 17th century Virginians is used toA. highlight the thriftiness of early American colonists.B. illustrate the high status of blacksmiths in that period.C. contrast the attitudes of different civilisations towards nails.D. show the preciousness of nail-making technology at that time.23. What played the major role in lowing the price of nails after the late 1700s?A. Increased productivity.B. Wider use of new energies.C. Fiercer market competition.D. Reduced cost of raw materials.24. It can be learned from Paragraph 5 that nailsA. have undergone many technological improvements.B. have remained basically all the same since Roman times.C. are less studied than other everyday products.D. are one of the world’s most significant inventions.25. Which of the following best summaries the last two paragraphs?A. Cheap technologies bring about revolutionary change.B. Technological innovation is integral to economic success.C. Technology defines people’s understanding of the world.D. Sophisticated technologies develop from small inventions.。

2012~2013年考研英语二阅读理解第一部分2012年Part ADirections:Read the following four texts.Answer the questions after each text by choosing A,B, C or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.(40points)Text1①Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents,but in recent years it has been particularly scorned.②School districts across the country,most recently Los Angeles Unified,are revising their thinking on this educational ritual.③Unfortunately,L.A.Unified has produced an inflexible policy which mandates that with the exception of some advanced courses,homework may no longer count for more than10%of a student’s academic grade.①This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homes might have in completing their homework.②But the policy is unclear and contradictory.③Certainly,no homework should be assigned that students cannot complete on their own or that they cannot do without expensive equipment.④But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of complicated family lives,it is going riskily close to the implication that standards need to be lowered for poor children.①District administrators say that homework will still be a part of schooling; teachers are allowed to assign as much of it as they want.②But with homework counting for no more than10%of their grades,students can easily skip half their homework and see very little difference on their report cards.③Some students might do well on state tests without completing their homework,but what about the students who performed well on the tests and did their homework?④It is quite possible that the homework helped.⑤Yet rather than empowering teachers to find what works best for their students,the policy imposes a flat,across-the-board rule.①At the same time,the policy addresses none of the truly thorny questions about homework.②If the district finds homework to be unimportant to its students’academic achievement,it should move to reduce or eliminate the assignments,not make them count for almost nothing.③Conversely,if homework matters,it should account for a significant portion of the grade.④Meanwhile,this policy does nothing to ensure that the homework students receive is meaningful or appropriate to their age and the subject,or that teachers are not assigning more than they are willing to review and correct.①The homework rules should be put on hold while the school board,which is responsible for setting educational policy,looks into the matter and conducts public hearings.②It is not too late for L.A.Unified to do homework right.21.It is implied in Paragraph1that nowadays homework.[A]is receiving more criticism[B]is gaining more preferences[C]is no longer an educational ritual[D]is not required for advancedcourses22.L.A.Unified has made the rule about homework mainly because poor students.[A]tend to have moderate expectations for their education[B]have asked for a different educational standard[C]may have problems finishing their homework[D]have voiced their complaints about homework23.According to Paragraph3,one problem with the policy is that it may.[A]result in students’indifference to their report cards[B]undermine the authority of state tests[C]restrict teachers’power in education[D]discourage students from doing homework24.As mentioned in Paragraph4,a key question unanswered about homework is whether.[A]it should be eliminated[B]it counts much in schooling[C]it places extra burdens on teachers[D]it is important for grades25.A suitable title for this text could be.[A]A Faulty Approach to Homework[B]A Welcomed Policy for Poor Students[C]Thorny Questions about Homework[D]Wrong Interpretations of an Educational PolicyText2①Pretty in pink:adult women do not remember being so obsessed with the colour,yet it is pervasive in our young girls’lives.②It is not that pink is intrinsically bad,but it is such a tiny slice of the rainbow and,though it may celebrate girlhood in one way,it also repeatedly and firmly fuses girls’identity to appearance.③Then it presents that connection,even among two-year-olds,between girls as not only innocent but as evidence of innocence.④Looking around,I despaired at the singular lack of imagination about girls’lives and interests.①Girls’attraction to pink may seem unavoidable,somehow encoded in their DNA,but according to Jo Paoletti,an associate professor of American Studies,it is not.②Children were not colour-coded at all until the early20th century:in the era before domestic washing machines all babies wore white as a practical matter,since the only way of getting clothes clean was to boil them.③What’s more,both boys and girls wore what were thought of as gender-neutral dresses.④When nursery colours were introduced,pink was actually considered the more masculine colour,a pastel version of red,which was associated with strength.⑤Blue,with its intimations of the Virgin Mary,constancy and faithfulness,symbolised femininity.⑥It was not until the mid-1980s,when amplifying age and sex differences became a dominant children’s marketing strategy,that pink fully came into its own,when it began to seem inherently attractive to girls,part of what defined them as female,at least for the first few critical years.①I had not realised how profoundly marketing trends dictated our perception of what is natural to kids,including our core beliefs about their psychologicaldevelopment.②Take the toddler.③I assumed that phase was something experts developed after years of research into children’s behaviour:wrong.④Turns out, according to Daniel Cook,a historian of childhood consumerism,it was popularised as a marketing trick by clothing manufacturers in the1930s.①Trade publications counselled department stores that,in order to increase sales, they should create a“third stepping stone”between infant wear and older kids’clothes.②It was only after“toddler”became a common shoppers’term that it evolved into a broadly accepted developmental stage.③Splitting kids,or adults,into ever-tinier categories has proved a sure-fire way to boost profits.④And one of the easiest ways to segment a market is to magnify gender differences—or invent them where they did not previously exist.26.By saying“it is...the rainbow”(Para.1),the author means pink.[A]cannot explain girls’lack of imagination[B]should not be associated with girls’innocence[C]should not be the sole representation of girlhood[D]cannot influence girls’lives and interests27.According to Paragraph2,which of the following is true of colours?[A]Colours are encoded in girls’DNA.[B]Blue used to be regarded as the colour for girls.[C]White is preferred by babies.[D]Pink used to be a neutral colour in symbolising genders.28.The author suggests that our perception of children’s psychological development was much influenced by.[A]the observation of children’s nature[B]the marketing of products for children[C]researches into children’s behaviour[D]studies of childhood consumption29.We may learn from Paragraph4that department stores were advised to.[A]classify consumers into smaller groups[B]attach equal importance to different genders[C]focus on infant wear and older kids’clothes[D]create some common shoppers’terms30.It can be concluded that girls’attraction to pink seems to be.[A]fully understood by clothing manufacturers[B]clearly explained by their inborn tendency[C]mainly imposed by profit-driven businessmen[D]well interpreted by psychological expertsText3①In2010,a federal judge shook America’s biotech industry to its core.②Companies had won patents for isolated DNA for decades—by2005some20%of human genes were patented.③But in March2010a judge ruled that genes were unpatentable.④Executives were violently agitated.⑤The Biotechnology Industry Organisation(BIO),a trade group,assured members that this was just a“preliminary step”in a longer battle.①On July29th they were relieved,at least temporarily.②A federal appeals court overturned the prior decision,ruling that Myriad Genetics could indeed hold patents to two genes that help forecast a woman’s risk of breast cancer.③The chief executive of Myriad,a company in Utah,said the ruling was a blessing to firms and patients alike.①But as companies continue their attempts at personalised medicine,the courts will remain rather busy.②The Myriad case itself is probably not over.③Critics make three main arguments against gene patents:a gene is a product of nature,so it may not be patented;gene patents suppress innovation rather than reward it;and patents’monopolies restrict access to genetic tests such as Myriad’s.④A growing number seem to agree.⑤Last year a federal task-force urged reform for patents related to genetic tests.⑥In October the Department of Justice filed a brief in the Myriad case, arguing that an isolated DNA molecule“is no less a product of nature...than are cotton fibres that have been separated from cotton seeds”.①Despite the appeals court’s decision,big questions remain unanswered.②For example,it is unclear whether the sequencing of a whole genome violates the patents of individual genes within it.③The case may yet reach the Supreme Court.①As the industry advances,however,other suits may have an even greater impact.②Companies are unlikely to file many more patents for human DNA molecules—most are already patented or in the public domain.③Firms are now studying how genes interact,looking for correlations that might be used to determine the causes of disease or predict a drug’s efficacy.④Companies are eager to win patents for“connecting the dots”,explains Hans Sauer,a lawyer for the BIO.①Their success may be determined by a suit related to this issue,brought by the Mayo Clinic,which the Supreme Court will hear in its next term.②The BIO recently held a convention which included sessions to coach lawyers on the shifting landscape for patents.③Each meeting was packed.31.It can be learned from Paragraph1that the biotech companies would like.[A]genes to be patentable[B]the BIO to issue a warning[C]their executives to be active[D]judges to rule out gene patenting32.Those who are against gene patents believe that.[A]genetic tests are not reliable[B]only man-made products are patentable[C]patents on genes depend much on innovation[D]courts should restrict access to genetic tests33.According to Hans Sauer,companies are eager to win patents for.[A]discovering gene interactions[B]establishing disease correlations[C]drawing pictures of genes[D]identifying human DNA34.By saying“Each meeting was packed”(Para.6),the author means that.[A]the supreme court was authoritative[B]the BIO was a powerful organisation[C]gene patenting was a great concern[D]lawyers were keen to attend conventions35.Generally speaking,the author’s attitude toward gene patenting is.[A]critical[B]supportive[C]scornful[D]objectiveText4①The great recession may be over,but this era of high joblessness is probably beginning.②Before it ends,it will likely change the life course and character of a generation of young adults.③And ultimately,it is likely to reshape our politics,our culture,and the character of our society for years.①No one tries harder than the jobless to find silver linings in this national economic disaster.②Many said that unemployment,while extremely painful,had improved them in some ways:they had become less materialistic and more financially prudent;they were more aware of the struggles of others.③In limited respects, perhaps the recession will leave society better off.④At the very least,it has awoken us from our national fever dream of easy riches and bigger houses,and put a necessary end to an era of reckless personal spending.①But for the most part,these benefits seem thin,uncertain,and far off.②In The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth,the economic historian Benjamin Friedman argues that both inside and outside the U.S.,lengthy periods of economic stagnation or decline have almost always left society more mean-spirited and less inclusive,and have usually stopped or reversed the advance of rights and freedoms.③Anti-immigrant sentiment typically increases,as does conflict between races and classes.①Income inequality usually falls during a recession,but it has not shrunk in this one.②Indeed,this period of economic weakness may reinforce class divides,and decrease opportunities to cross them—especially for young people.③The research of Till Von Wachter,the economist at Columbia University,suggests that not all people graduating into a recession see their life chances dimmed:those with degrees from elite universities catch up fairly quickly to where they otherwise would have been if they had graduated in better times;it is the masses beneath them that are left behind.①In the Internet age,it is particularly easy to see the resentment that has always been hidden within American society.②More difficult,in the moment,is discerning precisely how these lean times are affecting society’s character.③In many respects, the U.S.was more socially tolerant entering this recession than at any time in its history,and a variety of national polls on social conflict since then have shown mixed results.④We will have to wait and see exactly how these hard times will reshape our social fabric.⑤But they certainly will reshape it,and all the more so the longer they extend.36.By saying“to find silver linings”（Para.2）the author suggests that the jobless try to.[A]seek subsidies from the government[B]make profits from the troubled economy[C]explore reasons for the unemployment[D]look on the bright side of the recession37.According to Paragraph2,the recession has made people.[A]struggle against each other[B]realize the national dream[C]challenge their prudence[D]reconsider their lifestyle38.Benjamin Friedman believes that economic recessions may.[A]impose a heavier burden on immigrants[B]bring out more evils of human nature[C]promote the advance of rights and freedoms[D]ease conflicts between races and classes39.The research of Till Von Wachter suggests that in the recession graduates fromelite universities tend to.[A]lag behind the others due to decreased opportunities[B]catch up quickly with experienced employees[C]see their life chances as dimmed as the others’[D]recover more quickly than the others40.The author thinks that the influence

answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(40points)Text1①In an essay entitled“Making It in America,”the author Adam Davidson relatesa joke from cotton country about just how much a modern textile mill has been automated:The average mill has only two employees today,“a man and a dog.②The man is there to feed the dog,and the dog is there to keep the man away from the machines.”①Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is largely because of the big drop in demand because of the Great Recession,but it is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution,which are more rapidly thanever replacing labor with machines or foreign workers.①In the past,workers with average skills,doing an average job,could earn an average lifestyle.②But,today,average is officially over.③Being average just won’t earn you what it used to.④It can’t when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor,cheap robotics, cheap software,cheap automation and cheap genius.⑤Therefore,everyone needs to find their extra—their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.①Yes,new technology has been eating jobs forever,and always will.②But there’s been an acceleration.③As Davidson notes,“In the10years ending in2009, [U.S.]factories shed workers so fast that they erased almost all the gains of the previous70years;roughly one out of every three manufacturing jobs—about6 million in total—disappeared.”①There will always be change—new jobs,new products,new services.②But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in globalization and the I.T. revolution,the best jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.①In a world where average is officially over,there are many things we need to do to support employment,but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G.I.Bill for the21st century that ensures that every American has access to post-high school education.21.The joke in Paragraph1is used to illustrate.[A]the impact of technological advances[B]the alleviation of job pressure[C]the shrinkage of textile mills[D]the

in the United States came those who had no intention to stay,and who would make some money and then go home.③Between1908and1915,about7million people arrived while about2million departed.④About a quarter of all Italian immigrants,for example,eventually returned to Italy for good.⑤They even had an affectionate nickname,“uccelli di passaggio,”birds of passage.①Today,we are much more rigid about immigrants.②We divide newcomers into two categories:legal or illegal,good or bad.③We hail them as Americans in the making,or brand them as aliens to be kicked out.④That framework has contributed mightily to our broken immigration system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it.⑤We don’t need more categories,but we need to change the way we think about categories.⑥We need to look beyond strict definitions of legal and illegal.⑦To start,we can recognize the new birds of passage,those living and thriving in the gray areas.⑧We might then begin to solve our immigration challenges.①Crop pickers,violinists,construction workers,entrepreneurs,engineers,home health-care aides and physicists are among today’s birds of passage.②They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work,money and ideas.③They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them.④They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.①With or without permission,they straddle laws,jurisdictions and identities with ease.②We need them to imagine the United States as a place where they can be productive for a while without committing themselves to staying forever.③We need them to feel that home can be both here and there and that they can belong to two nations honorably.①Accommodating this new world of people in motion will require new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle.②Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes,including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.26.“Birds of passage”refers to those who.[A]stay in a foreign country temporarily[B]leave their home countries for good[C]immigrate across the Atlantic[D]find permanent jobs overseas27.It is implied in Paragraph2that the current immigration system in the US.[A]needs new immigrant categories[B]has loosened control over immigrants[C]should be adapted to meet challenges[D]has been fixed via political means28.According to the author,today’s birds of passage want.[A]financial incentives[B]a global recognition[C]the freedom to stay and leave[D]opportunities to get regular jobs29.The author suggests that the birds of passage today should be treated.[A]as faithful partners[B]with legal tolerance[C]with economic favors[D]as mighty rivals30.The most appropriate title for this text would be.[A]Come and Go:Big Mistake[B]Living and Thriving:Great Risk[C]With or Without:Great Risk[D]Legal or Illegal:Big mistakeText3①Scientists have found that although we are prone to snap overreactions,if we take a moment and think about how we are likely to react,we can reduce or even eliminate the negative effects of our quick,hard-wired responses.①Snap decisions can be important defense mechanisms;if we are judging whether someone is dangerous,our brains and bodies are hard-wired to react very quickly,within milliseconds.②But we need more time to assess other factors.③To accurately tell whether someone is sociable,studies show,we need at least a minute, preferably five.④It takes a while to judge complex aspects of personality,like neuroticism or open-mindedness.①But snap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli aren’t exclusive to the interpersonal realm.②Psychologists at the University of Toronto found that viewing a fast-food logo for just a few milliseconds primes us to read20percent faster,even though reading has little to do with eating.③We unconsciously associate fast food with speed and impatience and carry those impulses into whatever else we’re doing.④Subjects exposed to fast-food flashes also tend to think a musical piece lasts too long.①Yet we can reverse such influences.②If we know we will overreact to consumer products or housing options when we see a happy face(one reason good sales representatives and real estate agents are always smiling),we can take a moment before buying.③If we know female job screeners are more likely to reject attractive female applicants,we can help screeners understand their biases—or hire outside screeners.①John Gottman,the marriage expert,explains that we quickly“thin slice”information reliably only after we ground such snap reactions in“thick sliced”long-term study.②When Dr.Gottman really wants to assess whether a couple will stay together,he invites them to his island retreat for a much longer evaluation:two days,not two seconds.①Our ability to mute our hard-wired reactions by pausing is what differentiates us from animals:dogs can think about the future only intermittently or for a fewminutes.②But historically we have spent about12percent of our days contemplating the longer term.③Although technology might change the way we react,it hasn’t changed our nature.④We still have the imaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the high-speed trend.31.The time needed in making decisions may.[A]predetermine the accuracy of our judgment[B]prove the complexity of our brain reaction[C]depend on the importance of the assessment[D]vary according to the urgency of the situation32.Our reaction to a fast-food logo shows that snap decisions.[A]can be associative[B]are not unconscious[C]can be dangerous[D]are not impulsive33.To reverse the negative influences of snap decisions,we should.[A]trust our first impression[B]think before we act[C]do as people usually do[D]ask for expert advice34.John Gottman says that reliable snap reactions are based on.[A]critical assessment[B]“thin sliced”study[C]adequate information[D]sensible explanation35.The author’s attitude toward reversing the high-speed trend is.[A]tolerant[B]optimistic[C]uncertain[D]doubtfulText4①Europe is not a gender-equality heaven.②In particular,the corporate workplace will never be completely family-friendly until women are part of senior management decisions,and Europe’s top corporate-governance positions remain overwhelmingly male.③Indeed,women hold only14per cent of positions on European corporate boards.①The European Union is now considering legislation to compel corporate boards to maintain a certain proportion of women—up to60per cent.②This proposed mandate was born of frustration.③Last year,European Commission Vice President Viviane Reding issued a call to voluntary action.④Reding invited corporations to sign up for gender balance goals of40per cent female board membership.⑤But her appeal was considered a failure:only24companies took it up.①Do we need quotas to ensure that women can continue to climb the corporate ladder fairly as they balance work and family?①“Personally,I don’t like quotas,”Reding said recently.②“But I like what the quotas do.”③Quotas get action:they“open the way to equality and they break through the glass ceiling,”according to Reding,a result seen in France and other countries with legally binding provisions on placing women in top business positions.①I understand Reding’s reluctance—and her frustration.②I don’t like quotas either;they run counter to my belief in meritocracy,governance by the capable.③But, when one considers the obstacles to achieving the meritocratic ideal,it does look as ifa fairer world must be temporarily ordered.①After all,four decades of evidence has now shown that corporations in Europe as well as the US are evading the meritocratic hiring and promotion of women to top positions—no matter how much“soft pressure”is put upon them.②When women do break through to the summit of corporate power—as,for example,Sheryl Sandberg recently did at Facebook—they attract massive attention precisely because they remain the exception to the rule.①If appropriate pubic policies were in place to help all women—whether CEOs or their children’s caregivers—and all families,Sandberg would be no more newsworthy than any other highly capable person living in a more just society.36.In the European corporate workplace,generally.[A]women take the lead[B]men have the final say[C]corporate governance is overwhelmed[D]senior management is family-friendly37.The European Union’s intended legislation is.[A]a reflection of gender balance[B]a response to Reding’s call[C]a reluctant choice[D]a voluntary action38.According to Reding,quotas may help women.[A]get top business positions[B]see through the glass ceiling[C]balance work and family[D]anticipate legal results39.The author’s attitude toward Reding’s appeal is one of.[A]skepticism[B]objectiveness[C]indifference[D]approval40.Women entering top management become headlines due to the lack of.[A]more social justice[B]massive media attention[C]suitable public policies[D]greater“soft pressure”。
