高一英语上学期阅读理解11篇（一）一As a student, you must be excited to know something about American school students. In fact, just like in China, in the United States, high school is usually divided into two periods, the first two or three years are called “junior high school” and the other is “senior high school”.In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free education until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system (制度), American children have little difficulty in going to senior high school.American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activities are organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us students in China, American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And those who come out with low marks at the end of a school year and whoshould repeat a grade are often allowed to go on to the next grade.In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors.So children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban (郊区的) high schools, where most students want to go to university and the atmosphere (氛围) is quite different.1. Activities outside of the classroom refer to _____.A. what the students do after class in schoolB. what the students learn in extra classesC. what a music group or a sports team doD. what the teachers do after class for the students2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The time of free education in China is longer than that in America.B. Those who get good marks can go to a good university.C. American students can take all kinds of subjects during the high school period.D. They can be allowed to join the next grade even if they fail the school-year exam.3. The writer of the passage tells us the truth that ____.A. the atmosphere in high schools is quite different from that in a universityB. none of the schools in cities are good for learningC. suburban high schools are good places for learningD. all the American students want to go to university二Americans can travel almost anywhere they choose. But to protect its people, the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go. These places are unfriendly countries or countries at war. There, the traveller might not be safe. These countries are listed in a small book called a passport. This passport is a government request(要求) for the safety of its travelling people. It is also a government' s pledge (保证) that the people will obey the rules of the host country. To receive a passport from the government, a traveller must prove(证明) that he is an American citizen. An American can not go abroad without a passport. Only some close countries such as Canada and Mexico do not ask for passports. Inside the passport is the traveller's picture. Children travelling with their parents are included(包含) in one parent's book. Thousands of people from the United States visit other countries every year. An American traveller might carry plane tickets, money, clothing and many other things, but the most important that he carries in another country is his passport.1. A passport is not needed when an American goes to .A. foreign countriesB. dangerous areasC. Canada or MexicoD. foreign countries2. From the passage we can see thatA. children can' t travel to foreign countriesB. Americans like travellingC. a traveller is not safe in most countriesD. Americans like to travel to close countries3. Which statement does the passage lead you to believe?A. People should take care of their passports.B. It is not important to have a passport to travel.C. Children are never included in a passport.D. When you are in another country, money is more important than a passport.4. Which of the following statements is true?A.When Americans are travelling in another country, they must obey the rules of the country.B. The American government sometimes allow its people to travel to dangerous places.C. A passport is needed wherever an American is travelling.D. A passport only helps the traveller to know where he will go.三It takes many years for you to grow up. There are two periods in your life when you grow rapidly. The first period begins right after you are born and lasts until you are about six months old. The second period starts when you reach the age of 13. First, girls grow faster than boys, then boys catch up and grow faster and stronger.Your head stops growing earlier than the rest of you. By the time you are ten, your head is nearly full size. The bones of your arms and legs are short when you are a baby. When you reach the age of nine, your bones starts to grow rapidly, and will keep growing until you reach your full height (高度).Besides growing taller, your body changes in other ways. When a boy is about 13 years old, his voice begins to get deeper and he may begin to grow a beard (胡子). At about the age of 13, a girl’s body begins to function (运行) like a woman’s. Some important changes are taking place, changes that makes it possible for boys and girls, when they are older, to become fathers and mothers.1.

I do not want to bring my friends home because she does not act like any of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home and study. I wish I could live in another family that was normal, but it will be 5 years before I am 18. What am I supposed to do until then?Prisoner of a Crazy HouseDear 7th Grader,I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feelings about her may change as you get older and mature.While it is true that your mother’s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the fact that you want to stay separate from her doings is notable and very smart. It shows that you are a winner, not a loser. I am guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is a good thing. So, keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits.At the same time, try to get the best grades and join clubs and school activities. Offer social service on weekends and visit your friends at their homes.Fortunately, you are not alone. Many teens live in homes with immature, misguided, selfish parents. But they develop good friendships with nice kids, do well in school, and often find a teacher or guidance advisor who makes all the difference!Do it, Miss Winning 13 years old, and keep looking forward to your own future. Maybe by then your mother may even see the light and realize how good you really are.Michelle1. Michelle doesn’t address her letter receiver as “Prisoner of a Crazy House” possibly because she _____. A. tries to be polite B. doesn’t write to the kid aloneC. knows that’s a girl in Grade 7D. wants to cheer the kid up2. According to the passage, Michelle advises the girl to _____.A. try talking to her mother for her futureB. st ick to her attitude towards her mother’s some habitsC. understand her mother’s habits and get used to themD. try to keep away from her mother3. What does Michelle mainly express by writing the last four paragraphs?A. Don’t worry too much about the problem.B. Many parents act terribly.C. Parents’ manners make little difference.D. The girl is not speaking for herself.4 What does Miss Winning 13 years old refer to in the last paragraph but one?A. the girl who turns to Michelle for helpB. MichelleC. the girl’s motherD. a famous person whom we all admire六Young people in most countries like to dance. Different peoples have different kinds of dances.Pretend (假装)that you are in Africa. You are visiting the Kikuyu tribe.Hear the drums beat! Listen to the flutes! Almost 2,000 Kikuyus are meeting for the most important dance of the year.First, the Kikuyus choose a large, flat place for their dance. For hundreds of years, they have danced on an autumn night when the moon is full. The moon and the flame from small fires light the dancers.Older people watch from the side while young men and women gather at the dancing place. The girls wear leather skirts and tops. The men wear fancy headdresses and carry spears. The dancers' skin and clothes are colored by light red chalk. The chalk and the firelight make the dancers look like statues.The dancers act out stories of good and bad deeds. The dances tell stories of lion hunts and other adventures. In one dance, the girls stand on the boys' feet. The girls are pretending to be afraid of snakes.All night the drums beat and the fires burn. But the dancers never seem to get tired.1. The place where the Kikuyu tribe dances is ___. A. flat B.small C. hilly D. square2. On the whole, this story is about ______.A. the beat of drumsB. an African danceC. African storytellingD. the Kikuyus3. What do the Kikuyu dances tell?A. The dances tell the story of drum beat.B. The dances tell about adventures.C. The dances tell funny jokes.D.

The most important event is singing.D. After the dancing, all the dancers got tired.七Go to church, then have a big lunch, then go out to play while mum does the housework. That was a typical (典型的) British Sunday in the 1960s. But things now could not be more different.Some British sociologists recently studied the typical British Sunday. They found that people get up later and do less housework than they did 40 years ago. They are far more likely to be out shopping or enjoying themselves than cooking Sunday lunch.Sunday mornings were busy 40 years ago. Most women caught up on their weekly housework and cooked a nice lunch. They seldom allowed themselves any “leisure” until afternoon, after the dishes were cleaned. Then there would be another rush to the table between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm for tea.But now, Britons can have brunch (早午餐) at the restaurant. Fewer people bother to cook themselves.“You only have two free days a week. You don’t want to have to waste one because there is nothing to do but watch boring TV,” said Elizabeth Biggs, 25, a producer in London.“On Saturday you are recovering from the week,” Biggs added. “Sundays are the last chance for the weekend — you want to get as much as you can out of the day before you have to go back to work.”In the past, British women usually did their shopping during the week, while the husband was at work. “Now men seem to do that as much as women,” said Jonathan Gershuny, a professor who took part in the study.Men also do more housework now on Sundays. Back in the 1960s, men were far more likely to spend Sundays out of the house — at the pub or playing football — before lunch.1. Many Britons have brunch at the restaurant because _______.A. They have no time to cook at home.B. They get up too late.C. They won’t bother to cook themselves.D. They will go to church.2. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Britons used to go to church on Sundays.B. Britons usually had a big lunch at home.C. British women usually did their shopping during the week in the past.D. British men did little housework at home in the past.3. The text mainly tells us ________.A. what Britons did on SundaysB. why Britons go shopping on SundaysC. how Britons spend their holidaysD. the changes of the ways the Britons spend their Sundays4. What can we infer from the passage?A. Men do more housework on Sundays.B. Sundays in Britain might be very boring in the past.C. No people go to church on Sundays now.D. Britons all go out on Sundays.八Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions.Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remainsilent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease (not worried) but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.1. When you speak to the class, you should speak ________.A. as slowly as possibleB. in a low voiceC. loudlyD. forcefully2. Usually, when you speak to the class, the class is ________.A. noisyB. quietC. having a restD. serious3. The situation in the class is _________that in your house.A. not very different fromB. sometimes the same asC. sometimes not the same asD. not the same as4. If you are having a conversation with an official, the most important thing for you is____.A. to show your abilityB. to be very gentleC. to make sure that you can be heardD. to put the official at ease5. The main idea of this passage is _______.A. that we should talk in different ways in different situationsB. that we must speak loudlyC. that we must keep silent at any timeD. that we must talk with the class九Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words and we are often able to know where most words come from.Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham?About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They didn’t speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round piece of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans d idn’t understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round piece of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today, “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.1 Hamburg is ____________A. a kind of foodB. a round piece of beefC. the name of a villageD. a city in Germany2. According to the passage, ___________.A. few Americans like hamburgersB. hamburgers are made with beefC. hamburgers are made with hamD. hamburgers were first sold about a century ago3 According to the writer, which of the following can often be found in any large English dictionary?A. Where all the new words come from.B. Where those Germans came from.C. The reason why a word has a certain meaning.D. The reason why English is spoken around the world.4 From the story, we can know that the word “hamburger” comes from ___________.A.China because it has a long historyB. English because Germans don’t speak good EnglishC. The round piece of beef which those people from Hamburg were eatingD. English speakers because they always create new words十For many years Henry had been a journalist. He had worked on many international newspapers and magazines and traveled all over the world.Henry had witnessed wars and natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and erupting volcanoes (火山爆发) .He had reported on serious accidents such as big fires and airline crashes.He had seen every kind of terrible crime and strange event there was.He had met and written about some of the most unusual people in the world.In fact, there wasn’t much that Henry had not seen or done.Now he retired from journalism(新闻业).

He took the gorilla to a table and handed him a menu. He treated him politely and pretended there was nothing at all strange about having a gorilla in his restaurant.The gorilla looked through the menu and ordered a salad.Henry served the gorilla his salad personally, knowing that his waiters and waitresses would be too frightened.At last the gorilla finished his salad and asked for the bill.Henry wrote out the bill and handed it to the big animal.The gorilla studied it, shook his head sadly, then gave Henry fifty dollars.“Thank you”, Henry said, and then to make conversation he added, “We don’t get many gorillas in this restaurant.”“At fifty dollars for a salad,” the gorilla said, “I’m not surprised.”1．What does the underlined word “witness” mean?A. when something happens one sees or notices it on the spotB. to be part ofC. to tell what happensD. to feel unhappy with 2．According to the story, Henry had .A. had the most exciting experiencesB. told the longest storiesC. made historyD. caused accidents3．One day when a gorilla came into the restaurant, Henry was .A. very surprised by the gorillaB. not troubled by the gorillaC. very interested in the gorillaD. scared of the gorillaThe gorilla was____A. angry with the saladB. still hungry after his saladC. not surprised by the cost of the foodD. surprised by the prices十一U.S.— A South African man could face up to 25 years in prison for joking that he was carrying a bomb on an airline, police said Friday.The 40-year-old man was arrested at Johannesburg airport on Thursday after he told an airhostess on nationwide airliner after take-off from Durban that he had a bomb in his bag.“We don’t take this sort of thing lightly. He could face a jail term of between five and twenty-five years without the option (选择) of a fine.”Security precautions (安全措施) were taken against the man —a resident from the wealthy (富有) Johannesburg suburb of Sandown —on the flight.Airline people didn’t find any explosives or weapons in his bags.“Security measures at airport and on plane have been intensified（加强）immediately after the recent horrific and tragic terror（恐怖）attacks in America,”a police statement said.Thousands of people are believed to have died after the hijacked (劫机) airliners flew into the twin towers of New York’s World Trade Center in the worst terror attack in U.S. history.1 The man was arrested because he _______.A. went aboard the plane with a bomb in his bagB. security measures at airport and plane have been intensified.C. was joking at the airport.D. said on the plane that he was carrying a bomb in his bag.2.

高一年级英语上册阅读理解专项练习含答案(50篇)

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇Any foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand.And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese.Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调)．One of the study's authors, Nina Kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”．This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs, Dr.Kraus said.She said music training might also help children with language problems.Mandarin speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码)of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do.This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages, pitch plays a central role.A single－syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non－Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings: squint, bewilder and rice.The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds.Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.The lead author of the study, Patrick C．M.Wong, said it might work both ways.It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.1．Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training?A．Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music.B．Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain.C．Because music training might help people with language study.D．Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music.2．The underlined word “intoned” in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by the word“________”．A．created B．spelledC．seemed D．pronounced3．What would be the best title for this passage?A．Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter Than English SpeakersB．Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language StudyC．Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese LearningD．Schools Need to Develop Music Programs【答案】1．B2．D3．B【分析】这是一篇说明文。

After setting off, the three of us sang to the radio at the top of our voice.I t was a great trip until the rain poured and the rain was too heavy. “I have to pull over, ” Autumn said. She tried to enter the far right lane (车道) to find a place to stop, but trucks ran fast, making water onto our car. The car was out of control, then worse — it started to move left and right. Autumn fought to control it but it was too late. We ran into a truck. The girls jumped out of the car. My chest felt much pain.“Get out, Mom. Come on！” Amber cried. “I can't,” I said. Autumn took out her cellphone, “There's been an accident. Send an ambulance (救护车)！” Amber and Autumn pulled me out of the car and helped me lie on my back in the grassy area by the roadside. I had to calm myself and looked up. A man held a large umbrella over me and other kind faces appeared above me. A woman helped to treat a cut over Amber's eye. Another woman came close to me and said, “No one in the truck was injured. Help was on the way.” The woman mentioned she was a nurse; the other woman who took care of Amber's cut was an eye specialist. We couldn't have asked for better care.In the hospital the pain in my chest began to disappear. Later, the tests at the hospital made sure we had no serious injuries.

（英语）高一英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解There are lots of ways to educate yourself on the Internet. You can find photos, documents, and films on almost any topic you can imagine. And at , you can access lectures by artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.TED began in 1984 as a conference that brought together individuals from the fields of technology, entertainment and design. It was intended to be a one-time event focusing on technology and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the founders tried it again. This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual event. There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money. Other specialized spin-off conferences address narrower issues.The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to "offer free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers," as the website puts it. The current version of the site was launched in April 2007, and contains videos of talks given at the TED conferences around the world. The talks are transcribed into hundreds of languages.The TED website is owned by the Sapling Foundation, a non profit devoted to fostering the spread of great ideas. The Sapling foundation acquired TED in 2001. Since then, it has been focusing on using TED to broadcast ideas that might change the world.TED, of course, isn't immune to criticism. It's been called elitist(精英) for its high ticket prices (more than 6,000 dollars total). It's been accused by a few people of censorship for not publishing their talks. One controversial speaker was upset about being criticized by the conference's host afterward.The complaints, however, seem to be relatively few for such a large, long-running organization. And accusations of elitism ring hollow when so much is given away for free on TED's website. Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out.（1）What is the main topic of the article?A.The case against TEDB.What's on TED today.C.Pros and cons of .D.What is TED（2）Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.The TED conference came after the success of .B.Two TED conferences are now held every year.C.TED talks are available in many languages.D.The Sapling Foundation owns .（3）From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that ________.A.it is accepted to all involved that some TED talks might not be publishedB.the host of the conference is one who plays a supportive role to the speakersC.TED is criticized for giving special treatment to the wealthy or powerfulD.the negative comments on TED greatly affects its reputation（4）This author probably believes that________.A.TED is elitistB.TED is beneficialC.TED isn't importantD.TED is the best website【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了TED以及它的历史发展。

高一英语上学期阅读理解20篇(一)

高一英语上学期阅读理解20篇（一）一As a student, you must be excited to know something about American school students. In fact, just like in China, in the United States, high school is usually divided into two periods, the first two or three years are called “junior high school” and the other is “senior high school”.In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free education until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system (制度), American children have little difficulty in going to senior high school.American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activities are organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us students in China, American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And those who come out with low marks at the end of a school year and who should repeat a grade are often allowed to go on to the next grade.In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors. So children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban (郊区的) high schools, where most students want to go to university and the atmosphere (氛围) is quite different.1. Activities outside of the classroom refer to __________.A. what the students do after class in schoolB. what the students learn in extra classesC. what a music group or a sports team doD. what the teachers do after class for the students2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The time of free education in China is longer than that in America.B. Those who get good marks can go to a good university.C.

The writer of the passage tells us the truth that ________.A. the atmosphere in high schools is quite different from that in a universityB. none of the schools in cities are good for learningC. suburban high schools are good places for learningD. all the American students want to go to university二Americans can travel almost anywhere they choose. But to protect its people, the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go. These places are unfriendly countries or countries at war. There, the traveller might not be safe. These countries are listed in a small book called a passport. This passport is a government request(要求) for the safety of its travelling people. It is also a government' s pledge (保证) that the people will obey the rules of the host country. To receive a passport from the government, a traveller must prove(证明) that he is an American citizen. An American can not go abroad without a passport. Only some close countries such as Canada and Mexico do not ask for passports. Inside the passport is the traveller's picture. Children travelling with their parents are included(包含) in one parent's book. Thousands of people from the United States visit other countries every year. An American traveller might carry plane tickets, money, clothing and many other things, but the most important that he carries inanother country is his passport.1. A passport is not needed when an American goes to .A. foreign countriesB. dangerous areasC. Canada or MexicoD. foreign countries2. From the passage we can see thatA. children can' t travel to foreign countriesB. Americans like travellingC. a traveller is not safe in most countriesD. Americans like to travel to close countries3. Which statement does the passage lead you to believe?A. People should take care of their passports.B. It is not important to have a passport to travel.C. Children are never included in a passport.D. When you are in another country, money is more important than a passport.4. Which of the following statements is true?A.When Americans are travelling in another country, they must obey the rules of the country.B. The American government sometimes allow its people to travel to dangerous places.C. A passport is needed wherever an American is travelling.D. A passport only helps the traveller to know where he will go.三It takes many years for you to grow up. There are two periods in your life when you grow rapidly. The first period begins right after you are born and lasts until you are about six months old. The second period starts when you reach the age of 13. First, girls grow faster than boys, then boys catch up and grow faster and stronger.Your head stops growing earlier than the rest of you. By the time you are ten, your head is nearly full size. The bones of your arms and legs are short when you are a baby. When you reach the age of nine, your bones starts to grow rapidly, and will keep growing until you reach your full height (高度).Besides growing taller, your body changes in other ways. When a boy is about 13 years old, his voice begins to get deeper and he may begin to grow a beard (胡子). At about the age of 13, a girl’s body begins to function (运行) like a woman’s. Some important changes are taking place, changes that makes it possible for boys and girls, when they are older, to become fathers and mothers.1.

I do not want to bring my friends home because she does not act like any of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home and study. I wish I could live in another family that was normal, but it will be 5 years before I am 18. What am I supposed to do until then?Prisoner of a Crazy HouseDear 7th Grader,I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feelings about her may change as you get older and mature.While it is true that your mother’s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the factthat you want to stay separate from her doings is notable and very smart. It shows that you are a winner, not a loser. I am guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is a good thing. So, keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits.At the same time, try to get the best grades and join clubs and school activities. Offer social service on weekends and visit your friends at their homes.Fortunately, you are not alone. Many teens live in homes with immature, misguided, selfish parents. But they develop good friendships with nice kids, do well in school, and often find a teacher or guidance advisor who makes all the difference!Do it, Miss Winning 13 years old, and keep looking forward to your own future. Maybe by then your mother may even see the light and realize how good you really are.Michelle1. Michelle doesn’t address her letter receiver as “Prisoner of a Crazy House” possibly because she_________________.A. tries to be politeB. doesn’t write to the kid aloneC. knows that’s a girl in Grade 7D. wants to cheer the kid up2. According to the passage, Michelle advises the girl to ______________.A. try talking to her mother for her futureB. stick to her attitude towards her mother’s some habitsC. understand her moth er’s habits and get used to themD. try to keep away from her mother3. What does Michelle mainly express by writing the last four paragraphs?A. Don’t worry too much about the problem.B. Many parents act terribly.C. Parents’ manners make little diff erence.D. The girl is not speaking for herself.4 What does Miss Winning 13 years old refer to in the last paragraph but one?A. the girl who turns to Michelle for helpB. MichelleC. the girl’s motherD. a famous person whom we all admire六Young people in most countries like to dance. Different peoples have different kinds of dances.Pretend (假装)that you are in Africa. You are visiting the Kikuyu tribe.Hear the drums beat! Listen to the flutes! Almost 2,000 Kikuyus are meeting for the most important dance of the year.First, the Kikuyus choose a large, flat place for their dance. For hundreds of years, they have danced on an autumn night when the moon is full. The moon and the flame from small fires light the dancers.Older people watch from the side while young men and women gather at the dancing place. The girls wear leather skirts and tops. The men wear fancy headdresses and carry spears. The dancers' skin and clothes are colored by light red chalk. The chalk and the firelight make the dancers look like statues.The dancers act out stories of good and bad deeds. The dances tell stories of lion hunts and other adventures. In one dance, the girls stand on the boys' feet. The girls are pretending to be afraid of snakes.All night the drums beat and the fires burn. But the dancers never seem to get tired.1.

That was a typical (典型的) British Sunday in the 1960s. But things now could not be more different. Some British sociologists recently studied the typical British Sunday. They found that people get up later and do less housework than they did 40 years ago. They are far more likely to be out shopping or enjoying themselves than cooking Sunday lunch.Sunday mornings were busy 40 years ago. Most women caught up on their weekly housework and cooked a nice lunch. They seldom allowed themselves any “leisure” until afternoon, after the dishes were cleaned. Then there would be another rush to the table between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm for tea.But now, Britons can have brunch (早午餐) at the restaurant. Fewer people bother to cook themselves.“You only have two free days a week. You don’t want to have to waste one because there isnoth ing to do but watch boring TV,” said Elizabeth Biggs, 25, a producer in London.“On Saturday you are recovering from the week,” Biggs added. “Sundays are the last chance for the weekend — you want to get as much as you can out of the day before you have to go back to work.”In the past, British women usually did their shopping during the week, while the husband was at work. “Now men seem to do that as much as women,” said Jonathan Gershuny, a professor who took part in the study.Men also do more housework now on Sundays. Back in the 1960s, men were far more likely to spend Sundays out of the house — at the pub or playing football — before lunch.1. Many Britons have brunch at the restaurant because _______.A. They have no time to cook at home.B. They get up too late.C. They won’t bother to cook themselves.D. They will go to church.2. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Britons used to go to church on Sundays.B. Britons usually had a big lunch at home.C. British women usually did their shopping during the week in the past.D. British men did little housework at home in the past.3. The text mainly tells us ________.A. what Britons did on SundaysB. why Britons go shopping on SundaysC. how Britons spend their holidaysD. the changes of the ways the Britons spend their Sundays4. What can we infer from the passage?A. Men do more housework on Sundays.B. Sundays in Britain might be very boring in the past.C. No people go to church on Sundays now.D. Britons all go out on Sundays.八Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself. Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease (not worried) but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.1. When you speak to the class, you should speak ________.A. as slowly as possibleB. in a low voiceC. loudlyD. forcefully2. Usually, when you speak to the class, the class is ________.A. noisyB. quietC. having a restD. serious3. The situation in the class is _________that in your house.A. not very different fromB. sometimes the same asC. sometimes not the same asD. not the same as4. If you are having a conversation with an official, the most important thing for you is____.A. to show your abilityB. to be very gentleC. to make sure that you can be heardD. to put the official at ease5. The main idea of this passage is _______.A. that we should talk in different ways in different situationsB. that we must speak loudlyC. that we must keep silent at any timeD. that we must talk with the class九Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words and we are often able to know where most words come from.Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They didn’t speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round piece of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans didn’t understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round piece of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today, “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.1 Hamburg is ____________A. a kind of foodB. a round piece of beefC. the name of a villageD. a city in Germany2. According to the passage, ___________.A. few Americans like hamburgersB. hamburgers are made with beefC. hamburgers are made with hamD. hamburgers were first sold about a century ago3 According to the writer, which of the following can often be found in any large English dictionary?A. Where all the new words come from.B. Where those Germans came from.C. The reason why a word has a certain meaning.D. The reason why English is spoken around the world.4 From the story, we can know that the word “hamburger” comes from ___________.A.China because it has a long historyB. English because Germans don’t speak good EnglishC. The round piece of beef which those people from Hamburg were eatingD. English speakers because they always create new words十For many years Henry had been a journalist. He had worked on many international newspapers and magazines and traveled all over the world.Henry had witnessed wars and natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and erupting volcanoes (火山爆发) .He had reported on serious accidents such as big fires and airline crashes.He had seen every kind of terrible crime and strange event there was.He had met and written about some of the most unusual people in the world.In f act, there wasn’t much that Henry had not seen or done.Now he retired from journalism(新闻业). He owned a very expensive restaurant and spent his days talking to his wealthy and important customers. He liked to say that nothing surprised him. One day he was sitting at the bar in his restaurant when a big gorilla walked in and asked for a table.Henry showed no surprise. He took the gorilla to a table and handed him a menu. He treated him politely and pretended there was nothing at all strange about having a gorilla in his restaurant. The gorilla looked through the menu and ordered a salad.Henry served the gorilla his salad personally, knowing that his waiters and waitresses would be too frightened.At last the gorilla finished his salad and asked for the bill.Henry wrote out the bill and handed it to the big animal.The gorilla studied it, shook his head sadly, then gave Henry fifty dollars.“Thank you”, Henry said, and then to make conversation he added, “We don’t get many gorillas in this restaurant.”“At fifty dollars for a salad,” the gorilla said, “I’m not surprised.”1．What does the underlined word “witness” mean?A. when something happens one sees or notices it on the spotB. to be part ofC. to tell what happensD. to feel unhappy with 2．According to the story, Henry had .A. had the most exciting experiencesB. told the longest storiesC. made historyD. caused accidents3．One day when a gorilla came into the restaurant, Henry was .A. very surprised by the gorillaB. not troubled by the gorillaC. very interested in the gorillaD. scared of the gorilla4．The gorilla was____A. angry with the saladB. still hungry after his saladC. not surprised by the cost of the foodD. surprised by the prices十一U.S.— A South African man could face up to 25 years in prison for joking that he was carrying a bomb on an airline, police said Friday.The 40-year-old man was arrested at Johannesburg airport on Thursday after he told an airhostess on nationwide airliner after take-off from Durban that he had a bomb in his bag.“We don’t take this sort of thing lightly. He could face a jail term of between five andtwenty-five years without the option (选择) of a fine.”Security precautions (安全措施) were taken against the man —a resident from the wealthy (富有) Johannesburg suburb of Sandown —on the flight.Airline people didn’t find any explosives or weapons in hi s bags.“Security measures at airport and on plane have been intensified（加强）immediately after the recent horrific and tragic terror（恐怖）attacks in America,”a police statement said. Thousands of people are believed to have died after the hijacked (劫机) airliners flew into the twin towers of New York’s World Trade Center in the worst terror attack in U.S. history.1 The man was arrested because he _______.A. went aboard the plane with a bomb in his bagB. security measures at airport and plane have been intensified.C. was joking at the airport.D. said on the plane that he was carrying a bomb in his bag.2.

For some time, the Internet seems like a forest, filled with dangers for children. But forests have wonders as well as dangers, and with good guides, some education and a few precautions(预防措施) ,the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated(航行). "Children have to be on-line. If we tell our children they can' t have chances to the Internet, we' re cutting them off from their future," said an expert.Most children have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding lots of interesting Internet sites and they can also go to places where you might not want them to go. There are such engines made just for children. A certain software (软件) contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit chances would be to use what is known as a "content screener(过滤器)”. But this can't be wholly safe, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.A few other tips:1) Don' t put the PC in a child's room, but keep it in a place where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.2) Ask your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.3) Tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.1. What is the main subject about the passage?A. Fighting against children on-line.B. Internet in America.C. American children going on-line.D. Children's web sites.2. According to the passage, we can infer thatA. the writer doesn't encourage children to surf the InternetB. the Internet has a lot of harmful sitesC. the Internet is a forest full of dangersD. a child who is on-line is in danger3. What does the passage tell us most?A. EducationB. Good guidesC. PrecautionsD. Software十三Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle（航天飞机）Challenger, in June, 1993. The achievement of Sally Ride, America’s first woman astronaut to fly into space, made this flight especially memorable. Students from two high schools in Camden, New Jersey, however, are likely to remember Norma rather than Sally whenever they think about the flight.Norma didn’t travel along. She brought about 100 companions（伙伴）along with her. Norma was an ant, a queen ant who, with her subjects, made up the first ant colony（群体）to travel into space. The ants were part of a science experiment designed by the students to test the effects of weightlessness on insects.The equipment designed by the students for their colony functioned perfectly through-out the long space trip. The young scientists and their teachers were very sad to find that their insect astronauts had all died at some point before the container was returned to the school and opened. The problem did not occur in space, but on the ground after Challenger had landed. The container remained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony was removed. The hot dry desert air dried out the colony’s container（容器）and the ants died from lack of moisture（水分）.The project was termed a success because it did provide useful information. Students will continue their efforts to find out exactly what went wrong. They will try to prevent the same difficulties from recurring on future missions. They don’t want to be discouraged either by the death of the ants or by the $10,000 shuttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of ants into space.1. The story is mainly about ___________.A. Sally Ride’s first rideB. space equipment for insectsC. a space experiment with antsD. going to school in New Jersey2. The project wasn’t a failure because ___________.A. some important things were learnedB. dead ants are betterC. everything went as expectedD. students wrote about it3. The ants died because _________.A. weightlessness harmed themB. space caused too much painC. no one fed them in spaceD. they dried out in the desert4 On the next space trip, ants _________.A. will be sent without peopleB. should not be left in the desert too longC. will have to pay double fareD. will escape the trip completely十四Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors , cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic(天主教的) school.After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead，he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time，day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.Finally，little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise，little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her cu riosity .She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns(修女)? ”Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No. ”“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it? ”Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed to the plus sign(加号),I knew they weren’t joking. ”1. Tommy’s mother felt surprised that his son____.A. was still the same as usualB. ate so much at dinnerC. kissed her hello after schoolD. worked hard but said little2.

Tommy was afraid of being nailedC. Tommy didn’t like the plus signD. Tommy liked playing jokes on others4. From the passage, we can infer that____.A. teachers should be strict with their studentsB. mistakes might do good sometimesC. a catholic school is much better than other onesD. nuns are good at helping children with their math十五The gray-haired lady can’t wait to leave the building to search for her dad.

(专题)高一年级英语上册阅读理解专项练习及答案(50篇)

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across. but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening. For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve quickly, and you can be a fluent English speaker one day.1．According to the writer, which should you improve first among the four skills?A．Reading and listening.B．Reading and writing.C．Writing and speaking.D．Speaking and listening.2．To improve your reading, when you read you should ________.A．look up all the new words in the dictionaryB．think about what you are reading activelyC．spend more time studying grammarsD．copy as many words and sentences as possible3．The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “________”. A．meet B．discoverC．hear D．look for【答案】1．A2．B3．A【分析】这是一篇说明文。

高一英语上学期阅读理解专练20篇(带答案)

高一英语上学期阅读理解20篇（一）一As a student, you must be excited to know something about American school students. In fact, just like in China, in the United States, high school is usually divided into two periods, the first two or three years are called “junior high school” and the other is “senior high school”.In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free education until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system (制度), American children have little difficulty in going to senior high school.American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activities are organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us students in China, American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And those who come out with low marks at the end of a school year and who should repeat a grade are often allowed to go on to the next grade.In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors. So children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban (郊区的) high schools, where most students want to go to university and the atmosphere (氛围) is quite different.1. Activities outside of the classroom refer to __________.A. what the students do after class in schoolB. what the students learn in extra classesC. what a music group or a sports team doD. what the teachers do after class for the students2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The time of free education in China is longer than that in America.B. Those who get good marks can go to a good university.C. American students can take all kinds of subjects during the high school period.D. They can be allowed to join the next grade even if they fail the school-year exam.3. The writer of the passage tells us the truth that ________.A. the atmosphere in high schools is quite different from that in a universityB. none of the schools in cities are good for learningC. suburban high schools are good places for learningD. all the American students want to go to university二Americans can travel almost anywhere they choose. But to protect its people, the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go. These places are unfriendly countries or countries at war. There, the traveller might not be safe. These countries are listed in a small book called a passport. This passport is a government request(要求) for the safety of its travelling people. It is also a government' s pledge (保证) that the people will obey the rules of the host country. To receive a passport from the government, a traveller must prove(证明) that he is an American citizen. An American can not go abroad without a passport. Only some close countries such as Canada and Mexico do not ask for passports. Inside the passport is the traveller's picture. Children travelling with their parents are included(包含) in one parent's book. Thousands of people from the United States visit other countries every year. An American traveller might carry plane tickets, money, clothing and many other things, but the most important that he carries inanother country is his passport.1. A passport is not needed when an American goes to .A. foreign countriesB. dangerous areasC. Canada or MexicoD. foreign countries2. From the passage we can see thatA. children can' t travel to foreign countriesB. Americans like travellingC. a traveller is not safe in most countriesD. Americans like to travel to close countries3. Which statement does the passage lead you to believe?A. People should take care of their passports.B. It is not important to have a passport to travel.C. Children are never included in a passport.D. When you are in another country, money is more important than a passport.4. Which of the following statements is true?A.When Americans are travelling in another country, they must obey the rules of the country.B. The American government sometimes allow its people to travel to dangerous places.C. A passport is needed wherever an American is travelling.D. A passport only helps the traveller to know where he will go.三It takes many years for you to grow up. There are two periods in your life when you grow rapidly. The first period begins right after you are born and lasts until you are about six months old. The second period starts when you reach the age of 13. First, girls grow faster than boys, then boys catch up and grow faster and stronger.Your head stops growing earlier than the rest of you. By the time you are ten, your head is nearly full size. The bones of your arms and legs are short when you are a baby. When you reach the age of nine, your bones starts to grow rapidly, and will keep growing until you reach your full height (高度).Besides growing taller, your body changes in other ways. When a boy is about 13 years old, his voice begins to get deeper and he may begin to grow a beard (胡子). At about the age of 13, a girl’s body begins to function (运行) like a woman’s. Some important changes are taking place, changes that makes it possible for boys and girls, when they are older, to become fathers and mothers.1. The first period in your life when you grow very rapidly ____________________.A. lasts about thirteen yearsB. lasts about six monthsC. doesn’t begin until you are about six months oldD. begins when you are six months old2. Your head nearly stop growing __________________.A. when you are bornB. when you are ten years oldC. when you are thirteen years oldD. when you are six months old3. About the age of 13, a child ________________.A. stops growingB. reaching his full heightC. begins to grow a beardD. begins to change in other ways4. The meaning of the last sentence is that __________________.A. boys and girls are not sure to become fathers and mothers when they are oldB. it is necessary for boys and girls to become fathers and mothers when they grow upC. boys and girls must have some important changes before they grow upD. it is important that boys and girls should become fathers and mothers when they are older五Dear Michelle,My mother is not a good example for me and my sister. She smokes, stays out late, and she curses(咒骂). I love her but I am ashamed of her. I do not want to bring my friends home because she does not act like any of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home and study. I wish I could live in another family that was normal, but it will be 5 years before I am 18. What am I supposed to do until then?Prisoner of a Crazy HouseDear 7th Grader,I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feelings about her may change as you get older and mature.While it is true that your mother’s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the fact that you want to stay separate from her doings is notable and very smart. It shows that you are a winner, not a loser. I am guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is a good thing. So, keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits.At the same time, try to get the best grades and join clubs and school activities. Offer social service on weekends and visit your friends at their homes.Fortunately, you are not alone. Many teens live in homes with immature, misguided, selfish parents. But they develop good friendships with nice kids, do well in school, and often find a teacher or guidance advisor who makes all the difference!Do it, Miss Winning 13 years old, and keep looking forward to your own future. Maybe by then your mother may even see the light and realize how good you really are.Michelle1. Michelle doesn’t address her letter receiver as “Prisoner of a Crazy House” possibly because she_________________.A. tries to be politeB. doesn’t wri te to the kid aloneC. knows that’s a girl in Grade 7D. wants to cheer the kid up2. According to the passage, Michelle advises the girl to ______________.A. try talking to her mother for her futureB. stick to her attitude towards her mother’s some habitsC. understand her mother’s habits and get used to themD. try to keep away from her mother3. What does Michelle mainly express by writing the last four paragraphs?A. Don’t worry too much about the problem.B. Many parents act terribly.C. Parents’ manners make little difference.D. The girl is not speaking for herself.4 What does Miss Winning 13 years old refer to in the last paragraph but one?A. the girl who turns to Michelle for helpB. MichelleC. the girl’s motherD. a famous person whom we all admire四Just as the sun is starting to shine and the days are getting longer, the examination period begins!

All the students there are married七Go to church, then have a big lunch, then go out to play while mum does the housework. That was a typical (典型的) British Sunday in the 1960s. But things now could not be more different. Some British sociologists recently studied the typical British Sunday. They found that people get up later and do less housework than they did 40 years ago. They are far more likely to be out shopping or enjoying themselves than cooking Sunday lunch.Sunday mornings were busy 40 years ago. Most women caught up on their weekly housework and cooked a nice lunch. They seldom allowed themselves any “leisure” until afternoon, after the dishes were cleaned. Then there would be another rush to the table between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm for tea.But now, Britons can have brunch (早午餐) at the restaurant. Fewer people bother to cook themselves.“You only have two free days a week. You don’t want to have to waste one because there is nothing to do but watch boring TV,” said Elizabeth Biggs, 25, a producer in London.“On Saturday you are recovering from the week,” Biggs added. “Sundays are the last chance for the weekend — you want to get as much as you can out of the day before you have to go back to work.”In the past, British women usually did their shopping during the week, while the husband was at work. “Now men seem to do that as much as women,” said Jonathan Gershuny, a professor who took part in the study.Men also do more housework now on Sundays. Back in the 1960s, men were far more likely to spend Sundays out of the house — at the pub or playing football — before lunch.1. Many Britons have brunch at the restaurant because _______.A. They have no time to cook at home.B. They get up too late.C. They won’t bother to cook themselves.D. They will go to church.2. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Britons used to go to church on Sundays.B. Britons usually had a big lunch at home.C. British women usually did their shopping during the week in the past.D. British men did little housework at home in the past.3. The text mainly tells us ________.A. what Britons did on SundaysB. why Britons go shopping on SundaysC. how Britons spend their holidaysD. the changes of the ways the Britons spend their Sundays4. What can we infer from the passage?A. Men do more housework on Sundays.B. Sundays in Britain might be very boring in the past.C. No people go to church on Sundays now.D. Britons all go out on Sundays.六Young people in most countries like to dance. Different peoples have different kinds of dances.Pretend (假装)that you are in Africa. You are visiting the Kikuyu tribe.Hear the drums beat! Listen to the flutes! Almost 2,000 Kikuyus are meeting for the most important dance of the year.First, the Kikuyus choose a large, flat place for their dance. For hundreds of years, they have danced on an autumn night when the moon is full. The moon and the flame from small fires light the dancers.Older people watch from the side while young men and women gather at the dancing place. The girls wear leather skirts and tops. The men wear fancy headdresses and carry spears. The dancers' skin and clothes are colored by light red chalk.

English speakers are always creating new words and we are often able to know where most words come from.Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They didn’t speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round piece of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans didn’t understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round piece of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today, “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.1 Hamburg is ____________A. a kind of foodB. a round piece of beefC. the name of a villageD. a city in Germany2. According to the passage, ___________.A. few Americans like hamburgersB. hamburgers are made with beefC. hamburgers are made with hamD. hamburgers were first sold about a century ago3 According to the writer, which of the following can often be found in any large English dictionary?A.

English because Germans don’t speak good EnglishC. The round piece of beef which those people from Hamburg were eatingD. English speakers because they always create new words八Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself. Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professorof your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease (not worried) but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.1. When you speak to the class, you should speak ________.A. as slowly as possibleB. in a low voiceC. loudlyD. forcefully2. Usually, when you speak to the class, the class is ________.A. noisyB. quietC. having a restD. serious3.

The main idea of this passage is _______.A. that we should talk in different ways in different situationsB. that we must speak loudlyC. that we must keep silent at any timeD. that we must talk with the class十一U.S.— A South African man could face up to 25 years in prison for joking that he was carrying a bomb on an airline, police said Friday.The 40-year-old man was arrested at Johannesburg airport on Thursday after he told an airhostess on nationwide airliner after take-off from Durban that he had a bomb in his bag.“We don’t take this sort of thing lightly. He could face a jail term of between five andtwenty-five years without the option (选择) of a fine.”Security precautions (安全措施) were taken against the man —a resident from the wealthy (富有) Johannesburg suburb of Sandown —on the flight.Airline people didn’t find any explosives or weapons in hi s bags.“Security measures at airport and on plane have been intensified（加强）immediately after the recent horrific and tragic terror（恐怖）attacks in America,”a police statement said.

He owned a very expensive restaurant and spent his days talking to his wealthy and important customers. He liked to say that nothing surprised him. One day he was sitting at the bar in his restaurant when a big gorilla walked in and asked for a table.Henry showed no surprise. He took the gorilla to a table and handed him a menu. He treated him politely and pretended there was nothing at all strange about having a gorilla in his restaurant. The gorilla looked through the menu and ordered a salad.Henry served the gorilla his salad personally, knowing that his waiters and waitresses would be too frightened.At last the gorilla finished his salad and asked for the bill.Henry wrote out the bill and handed it to the big animal.The gorilla studied it, shook his head sadly, then gave Henry fifty dollars.“Thank you”, Henry said, and then to make conversation he added, “We don’t get many gorillas in this restaurant.”“At fifty dollars for a salad,” the gorilla said, “I’m not surprised.”1．What does the under lined word “witness” mean?A. when something happens one sees or notices it on the spotB. to be part ofC. to tell what happensD. to feel unhappy with 2．According to the story, Henry had .A. had the most exciting experiencesB. told the longest storiesC. made historyD. caused accidents3．One day when a gorilla came into the restaurant, Henry was .A. very surprised by the gorillaB. not troubled by the gorillaC. very interested in the gorillaD. scared of the gorilla4．The gorilla was____A. angry with the saladB. still hungry after his saladC. not surprised by the cost of the foodD. surprised by the prices十二How to protect child web fans from unsuitable materials (不合适材料) on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the US. For some time, the Internet seems like a forest, filled with dangers for children. But forests have wonders as well as dangers, and with good guides, some education and a few precautions(预防措施) ,the wilds of the Internet can besafely navigated(航行). "Children have to be on-line. If we tell our children they can' t have chances to the Internet, we' re cutting them off from their future," said an expert.Most children have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding lots of interesting Internet sites and they can also go to places where you might not want them to go. There are such engines made just for children. A certain software (软件) contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit chances would be to use what is known as a "content screener(过滤器)”. But this can't be wholly safe, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.A few other tips:1) Don' t put the PC in a child's room, but keep it in a place where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.2) Ask your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.3) Tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.1. What is the main subject about the passage?A. Fighting against children on-line.B. Internet in America.C. American children going on-line.D. Children's web sites.2. According to the passage, we can infer thatA. the writer doesn't encourage children to surf the InternetB. the Internet has a lot of harmful sitesC. the Internet is a forest full of dangersD. a child who is on-line is in danger3. What does the passage tell us most?A. EducationB. Good guidesC. PrecautionsD. Software十四Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors , cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic(天主教的) school.After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead，he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time，day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.Finally，little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise，little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity .She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns(修女)? ”Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No. ”“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it? ”Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that mannailed to the plus sign(加号),I knew they weren’t joking. ”1. Tommy’s mother felt surprised that his son____.A. was still the same as usualB. ate so much at dinnerC. kissed her hello after schoolD. worked hard but said little2.

From the passage, we can infer that____.A. teachers should be strict with their studentsB. mistakes might do good sometimesC. a catholic school is much better than other onesD. nuns are good at helping children with their math十三Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle（航天飞机）Challenger, in June, 1993. The achievement of Sally Ride, America’s first woman astronaut to fly into space, made this flight especially memorable. Students from two high schools in Camden, New Jersey, however, are likely to remember Norma rather than Sally whenever they think about the flight.Norma didn’t travel along. She brought about 100 companions（伙伴）along with her. Norma was an ant, a queen ant who, with her subjects, made up the first ant colony（群体）to travel into space. The ants were part of a science experiment designed by the students to test the effects of weightlessness on insects.The equipment designed by the students for their colony functioned perfectly through-out the long space trip. The young scientists and their teachers were very sad to find that their insect astronauts had all died at some point before the container was returned to the school and opened. The problem did not occur in space, but on the ground after Challenger had landed. The container remained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony was removed. The hot dry desert air dried out the colony’s container（容器）and the ants died from lack of moisture（水分）.The project was termed a success because it did provide useful information. Students will continue their efforts to find out exactly what went wrong. They will try to prevent the same difficulties from recurring on future missions. They don’t want to be discouraged either by the death of the ants or by the $10,000 shuttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of ants into space.1. The story is mainly about ___________.A. Sally Ride’s first rideB. space equipment for insectsC. a space experiment with antsD. going to school in New Jersey2. The project wasn’t a failure because ___________.A. some important things were learnedB. dead ants are betterC. everything went as expectedD. students wrote about it3. The ants died because _________.A. weightlessness harmed themB. space caused too much painC. no one fed them in spaceD. they dried out in the desert4 On the next space trip, ants _________.A. will be sent without peopleB. should not be left in the desert too long。

高一英语阅读理解50篇(付详解)中考英语阅读理解·“老”字趣谈每个国家都有各自的文化习惯，而这种文化上的差异往往会引起一定的误会，不过只要熟悉对方的风俗习惯做到入乡随俗，一切就OK啦！When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.By Jack根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they leant to. A few people are paid for sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional football player in England earns more than 300,000 dollars a year. The stars earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than 500,000 dollars a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much as that.Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply mean, “Buy our things”. It says, “Buy the same shirt and shoes as…” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photo of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.1．From the passage we can learn that .A．famous people spend too much money and time on sportsB．the development of sports is slower than any other activityC．most people enjoy sports because they can earn a lot of moneyD．now sports is not only an amusement for people2．In this passage “professional sportsmen” means people “_____________”.A．who teach others how to make money in sportsB．who take sports as their jobsC．who are very fond of sportsD．who teach other sportsmen how to play sports3．Now, the “sport” means .A．what most of the people do in their spare timeB．hunting wild animals and birds in the forestsC．organized gamesD．something that people are paid to4．Which of the following is TRUE?A．Most people play sports only for money.B．Those who play sports earn more than those who do not.C．People play sports for different purposes.D．Those who play sports want to keep strong and fit.【答案】1．D2．B3．C4．C【分析】本文是说明文。

【英语】高一英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解A new family moved in next door and I got to meet the mother of the family, Lydia. Lydia is Korean, and her family moved to our city so her husband could go to graduate school. We started talking, and she was apologetic about how bad her English was, but I didn't care. I knew how hard it was to learn a second language. I enjoyed chatting with Lydia as we watched our kids play.It was what came next that challenged me: Lydia asked if I'd be willing to help her with her English. Now, I am not a teacher. I admire teachers, and I'm grateful for teachers, and it's because I admire what they do so much that I was very very sure that I couldn't do it myself.But Lydia was sure that she wanted my help. I was doubtful. I wasn't sure my "help" was even worth being called by that name. But because she asked me, I said "yes." And that was the beginning of a friendship. Lydia and I spent afternoons sitting together and reading the newspaper, and as we did, she asked me questions when she had them questions about language, yes, but also questions about the new culture she found herself in. In turn, I asked my own questions, growing curious about her home country and culture. We bonded over our shared faith and our struggles as mothers of kids with special needs, When I complimented（恭维） her cooking, she began to teach me about Korean food, eventually leading to a shared trip to explore the Korean grocery stores in our city. Because of Lydia, 1 learned more about my own hometown than I ever could have learned by myself. I'm still not sure that I'm any good as a teacher. But I'm grateful I said "yes" when my neighbor asked me to help her with her English. That meant spending extra time with my neighbor, and that extra time meant she didn't remain just my neighbor. She became my friend.（1）What was Lydia sorry about?A. Her bad English.B. Her carelessness.C. Nobody teaching her English.D. Her poor life in a new place.（2）What can be concluded from the third paragraph?A. The author admired teachers.B. The author wanted to be a teacher.C. The author didn't want to help Lydia.D. The author was not confident in helping Lydia.（3）Why was the author grateful at the last paragraph?A. She managed to learn English well.B. She made friends with her neighbor.C.

高一年级英语上册阅读理解专项练习附答案(50篇)

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇It’s hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool’s Day. On April 1 each year, people play tricks on each other. These tricks are usually silly rather than mean. Classmates sometimes tie each other’s shoelaces to their chairs. Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that scares students before they realise it’s only a joke. Newspapers announce fake contests (such as “Win an elephant!”) and report on fake stories (like “UFO” lands in New York City).Forget gifts, songs and special foods-those are for the other holidays of the year. On April Fool’s Day, the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble).One April Fool’s Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers. They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria. The chickens ran all round the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers were flying everywhere.Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them. Finally, they caught four of them. But the chickens were wearing numbered tags around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens NO. 1, 2, 3, and 5. Where was chicken No. 4?The te achers looked and looked. They couldn’t find another chicken. After a few hours, they realised that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place! They’d been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.It’s been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool’s Day remains one of my favourite memories from those years.1．What can we infer from the first paragraph on April Fool’s Day?A．Everyone is hard to avoid being fooled on April Fool’s Day.B．Students play jokes on teachers on April Fool’s Day.C．Teachers play tricks on students on April Fool’s Day.D．Newspapers often cheat people.2．Why did students set chickens free?A．They wanted to let chickens free. B．They wanted to let chickens run all round the school.C．They wanted to see feathers flying. D．They wanted to play a trick on the teachers. 3．How many jokes did the students play on the teachers?A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.【答案】1．A2．D3．B【分析】这是一篇记叙文。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇On Monday, I stopped my car in front of my daughter Juliet’s middle school. She jumped in the front seat, feeling down. She asked me to help her study for her science test.“Dad, I need to memorise a unit about the Reproductive Cycle o f Plants. And I can hardly make it.”“You know memorising seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in tests if you work on trying to understand the material.”Juliet was open to my advice. It was Monday afternoon and we had two nights to study before the test on Wednesday. I suggested a plan. “Tomorrow night, you are going to teach the material to me. Tonight, read the unit. Prepare to teach.”Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I was determined to do it. Studies show teaching somebody else is a very useful way to learn. Even if you don’t do the teaching, the act of preparing to teach leads to more learning than just trying your best to memorise the material. On Tuesday afternoon, Juliet sat down with her science book facing me and said, “Okay Dad, let’s study.” I wanted her to teach me. But false starts happened. I couldn’t be too hard on her. So instead we started with me asking her some simple questions. She knew some but not others. When she didn’t know the answers, I enc ouraged her to check the book.She started checking things that didn’t make sense. And she was actively seeking to test her understanding. I was happy to see it. She wasn’t memorising; she was trying to make sense of things, which was exactly what I had hoped she would do.1．Why did Juliet feel down?A．Because she failed her science test.B．Because she had trouble memorising a unit.C．Because she knew nothing about planting.D．Because she couldn’t follow her teacher.2．In the writer’s opinion, which was the key to best learni ng?A．Memorising. B．Testing.C．Questioning. D．Understanding.3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．Making her check the book.B．Using simple questions to test her.C．Encouraging her to read the unit.D．Asking her to teach me the unit.4．Which can be the best title for the passage?A．A Creative FatherB．An Unexpected TestC．Learning from TeachingD．Preparing for Teaching【答案】1．B2．D3．D4．C【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了爸爸通过让女儿教他来学习这种方式帮助女儿深入理解所学的知识。

Is there anything I can do to improve my appearance until they come off?Connie N. Philadelphia, PADear Connie,Start by thinking about how good you are going to look when your braces come off. If you are negative about your appearance, people will pick that up right away about you. In the meantime there are several things that you can do to lift your spirits:Change your hairstyle. Be sure to get a good cut so that the shape of your hair will be flattering to your face and also good for your type of hair (fine, thick, straight, curly, etc.) Choose a hairstylethat draws attention away from your face. Hair pulled back into a pony-tail or into a ball on top or slightly off-center can be attractive and practical for this purpose.Keep skin clean. If you choose to wear makeup(化妆品), it should look natural. Blusher(腮红) and lip gloss(润唇膏) in light tones of peach or pink are best.Be well-groomed(打扮). Neatness really counts. People see a total look about you before they ever become aware of your braces. And first impressions are lasting ones!1. Why did Connie write to Carol?A. Because she really cared about her clothes.B. Because she cared much about her appearance.C. Because her teeth were not good.D. Because she didn’t know how to make up.2. Carol’s idea about one’s appearance is that _________.A. change your hairstyle and you will look beautifulB. keep your skin clean and you will look goodC. neatness really countsD. if you yourself don’t think you look smart, neither will people3. Carol tries to let Connie know that __________.A. the deepest impressions one leaves on others is the first onesB. spirits are important when we talk about one’s appearanceC. there are some practical ways to draw people’s attention away from where you don’t feel goodD. all of the above4. The underlined word “count” means “_________” in the last par agraph.A. say numbers in orderB. be of importanceC. not includeD. be accepted三“I'm seventy years old,” says the gray-haired lady proudly to the entertainer at her Community Club dinner.“Did you hear that, everyone?” says the entertainer. “This lovely lady is just seventy years young! And she doesn’t look a day over fifty.”He has been careful not to use the word “old”. In a society where youth is so admired, old age is often seen as something sad, something t o fight against. Americans prefer not to say “old” people. They use the expression “senior citizens”. They do not talk about “old people’s” homes, but “retirement” homes.In fact, the entertainer is not so wrong. Seventy is not very old these days. People in the US are living longer and longer. In1980, 12 percent of Americans were over sixty-five years old. By 2030, 21 percent will be over sixty-five. One reason for this is that families are getting smaller. The average couple now has only 1.8 children. At the same time, improved medical care means that people are living longer.This change in the age of Americans is going to have serious results. For one thing, medical costs are rising. The government is unable to pay the elderly people's medical bills that have gone up very much. Some old people have to leave hospital “sicker and quicker” than they should, before they are really better.More fortunate senior citizens, though, who still have good health, want new laws to be passed to allow them to stay at work. In the past, the retirement age was sixty-five, but that is changing now. Older people are stronger and more energetic than ever before. Many of themrefuse to stop working just because they have reached a certain age.There is a change, too, in the way in which elderly people see themselves. Many are no longer happy to accept the gray hair, bald heads, and boring clothes of their own parents. They like to wear younger-looking clothes and bright makeup. American women spend millions of dollars a year on operations to lift their faces and make those ugly wrinkles(皱纹) disappear. Men are prepared to spend even more on operations to plant new hair on their bald spots. It's worth any money to look younger.1. In America people try to avoid using the word “old” because ________.A. the old age is seen as something that isn't admiredB. it is now believed to bring bad luck to elderly peopleC. the standard of getting old has changedD. the change in the age has caused a healthy problem2. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT describe the American society correctly?A. People live longer because of improved medical care.B. The government finds it difficult to afford the medical bills of the elderly.C. People use polite expressions when talking about old age.D. The old patients’ time in hospital is strictly limited.3. Which of the following is NOT the result of the changing in the age of Americans?A. Medical costs are rising.B. The family becomes smaller.C. The retirement age needs changing.D. Elderly people spend a lot on keeping young.4. The underlined word “Many”, in the last paragraph refers to ________.A. American adultsB. American old peopleC. young AmericansD. American women四Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions?Who choose your friends?Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?Have you got go od friends your parents don’t like?56. Many teenagers think their _______ know them better than their parents do.A. friendsB. teachersC. brothers and sistersD. classmates57. When teenagers stay alone, the usual way of communication is to _________.A. go to their friendsB. talk with their parentsC. have a discussion with their familyD. talk with their friends on the phone58. Which of the following sentences is TRUE?A. Parents should like everything their children enjoy.B. In all families, children can choose everything they like.C. Parents should try their best to understand their children better.D. Teenagers can only go to their friends for help.59. The main idea of this passage is that _________.A. Teenagers need friendsB. Friends can give good adviceC. Parents often choose their children’s friends for themD. Good friends can communicate with each other五How many of your New Year’s resolution(决定) start out with “I want to lose x amount of pounds” as if just saying it were some kind of magic mantra(咒语). As if the weight would just fall off, in response to the spoken words!Why do we not want to pay the price for anything? Gaining weight is not an overnight effect and it will NOT be reversed overnight. The price of losing weight is choosing a proper diet plan and exercise routine.And it takes willpower! No matter what you do eat, you will always have to say “NO!” to something, somet ime. Choices, choices that’s life!Our society is becoming one of “it's not my fault” formerly known as “the devil made me do it”. Well, let me tell you this, unless you have a physical/medical condition that makes it impossible to lose weight, it is your fault and it is your responsibility to lose those unwanted, unhealthy, unsightly and inconvenient pounds. The sooner you start to accept this fact the better you will feel, both physically and emotionally.One of the greatest confidence building tools in our lives is when we set a goal and achieve it. Some things in our lives are more under our control than others. Losing weight is one of those things.So, without further excuses, let’s get started taking the steps that will get “losing weight” crossed off next New Year’s resolution list!1. According to the writer, ________ is the most important to losing weight.A. magic mantraB. a proper diet planC. exercise routineD. Willpower2. By saying “Why do we not want to pay the price for anything?” th e writer points out ________.A. people don’t want to spend money in losing weightB. people shouldn’t put “losing weight” on the New Year’s solution listC. people should take actions instead of making a New Year solutionD. people should blame themselves for being over weight3. The underlined word “reversed” in paragraph 2 probably means ________.A. achievedB. startedC. changedD. stopped六It is reported that conservation(环保) groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves. Some groups believe wolves should be killed. Other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness(荒野).For Killing WolvesIn Alaska, the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago, because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport. However, laws were passed to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur. So the wolf population has greatly increased. Now there are somany wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food. Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life. When the deer can’t find enough food, they die.If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer, their prey(猎物)will disappear some day. And the wolves will, too. So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology(生态).If we killed more wolves, we would save them and their prey from dying out. We’d also save some farm animals.In another northern state, wolves attack cows and chickens for food. Farmers want the government to send biologists to study the problem. They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population.Against Killing WolvesIf you had lived long ago, you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous wolf. According to most stories, hungry wolves often kill people for food. Even today, the stories of the “big bad wo l f'” will not disappear.But the fact is wolves are afraid of people, and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell. When wolves eat other animals, they usually kill the very young, or the sick and injured. The strongest survive. No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had lived. And that has always been a law of nature.Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves, we say it is nonsense! Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance. The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life.The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people. Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs, the wolves can’t always find enough food. So they travel to the nearest source, which is often a farm. Then there is danger. The “big bad wolf” has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next.1. According to the passage, some people in North America favor killing wolves for all the following reasons EXCET that .A. there are too many wolvesB. they kill large numbers deerC. they attack cows and chickens for foodD. they destroy the wilderness plant life2. Some people are against killing wolves because .A. wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wildnessB. there is too small a wolf population in the wildernessC. there are too many deer in the wildernessD. wolves are afraid of people and never attack people3. According to those against killing wolves, when wolves eat other animals, .A. they never eat strong and healthy onesB. they always go against the law of natureC. they might help this kind of animals survive in natureD. they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness4. The last sentence" And everyone knows what happens next" implies that in such cases .A. farm animals will be in danger and have to be moved awayB. wolves will kill people and people will in turn kill themC. wolves will find enough food sources on farmsD. people will leave the areas where wolves can live七What to do next?It was a momentous question. I had gone out into the world to shift for myself. I had gained a livelihood in various vocations, but no one was dazzled with my successes. I had once been a grocery clerk for one day, but had consumed so much sugar that I was fired. I had studies an entire week, and then given it up because it was tiresome. I had been a bookseller’s check for a while, but the customers bothered me so much that I could not read with any comfort. I had been a private secretary, a silver miner and a silver mill operator, and amounted to less than nothing in each, and now ---What to do next?I have in to Higbie and tried mining once more. We climbed far up on the mountainside and went to work. Higbie descended into the shaft and worked with his pick till he had loosened up some rock and dirt, and then I went down with a shovel to throw it out. I made the toss, and landed the mess must on the edge of the shaft. It all came back on my head and down the back of my neck. I never said a word, but climbed out and walked home.I sat down in the cabin, and gave myself up to misery. In the past, I had amused myself with writing letters to the chief paper of the Territory, the Virginia Daily Territorial Enterprise, an d had always been surprised when they appeared in print. I had found a letter in the mail box as I came home from the hillside, and opened it. Eureka! It was an offer to me of twenty-five dollars a week to come up to Virginia and be city editor of the Enterprise. Twenty-five dollars a week was a fortune.I went up to Virginia and entered upon my new vocation. I asked the chief editor, Mr. Goodman, for some instructions, and he told me to go all over town and ask all sorts of people all sorts of questions, make notes of the information gained, and write them out for publication. It was the whole thing in a nutshell.I can never forget my first day’s experience as a reporter. I wandered about town questioning everybody, boring everybody, and finding out that nobody knew anything. At the end of five hours, my notebook was still bare. I spoke to Mr. Goodman. He said, ‘Dan used to write good stories about the hay wagons when there was no news. Are there no hay wagons around? If there are, you might speak of the renewed activity in the hay business. It isn’t sensational or exciting, but it fills up the newspaper and looks businesslike.’I went out into the city again and found one wretched old hay truck dragging in from the country. Next I discovered a wagon train from the East and found that it had lately come through the hostile Indian country. The group was in rather rough shape.My two columns were filled. When I read them over in the morning, I felt that I had found my legitimate occupation at last. News was what a paper needed, and I felt that I had the ability to furnish it. Mr. Goodman said that I was a good a reporter as Dan. I desired no higher commendation.1. What does the author mean when he says, ‘I had gone out into the world to shift for myself’?A. He wanted to travel to many places.B. He wanted to do things by himself.C. He liked moving things.D. He wanted to be successful.2. Why do you think the author gives himself to misery?A. He was fired from his job as a miner.B. He cannot find a job.C. He cannot find work that he enjoys doing.D. He does not like living in a cabin.3. Why does Mr. Goodman suggest writing about hay wagons?A. Because it will take up space in the newspaper.B. Because hay wagons are interesting.C. Because it is important business news.D. Because people need hay.4. What is the meaning of the underlined word ‘legitimate’ in the passage?A. legalB. friendlyC. acceptableD. amusing八Vincent Van Gogh is probably the world’s most famous painter. Many people wonder if he deserves such a reputation. Certainly, he was not a success in his lifetime. Although he produced more than 800 paintings, he sold only one, for about only US $80. No gallery showed his work during his life. Few people may have even heard of him. Hi s fame developed slowly after his death in 1890, but it has never stopped growing. One hundred years later, in 1990, a Japanese businessman paid US $82 million for one of his works --- a world record.He was born in the Netherlands in 1853. As a young man, he tried many different jobs. He worked in an ar t dealer’s company, but he must have disliked it, because he left. He went to England and became a language teacher. Then, looking for a deeper purpo se in life, he worked as a missionary among the poor in Belgium, but he quarreled with his superiors and abandoned that career as well. Finally, he decided to become a painter.For the rest of his life, he depended on the financia l support of his brother Theo, the only person who believed in his ability. For ten years, from 1880 to 1890, Van Gogh produced his best paintings, until, sadly, he took his own life.It would be easy to say that he was mad. He had difficulty getting along with people, often arguing with them. After one quarrel, in late 1888, he was so upset that he cut off part of his own ear and gave it to a young girl. Later, from 1889 to 1890, he spent a year in a mental hospital. Yet, for most of his life, he was completely sane (精神正常的). We know this because he wrote hundreds of letters to Theo expressing his ideas and his work, and these letters show the clarity of his thinking.Does he deserve the fame he now possesses? Certainly. I admire his work tremendously. His paintings are realistic, not abstract. At the same time, they are not like photographs. The bright colors and thick strokes of his paintings make the strong feelings inside him visible. Even when his subjects are flowers, trees or the sky, his paintings are full of powerful, honest emotions, emotions which finally killed him.1. The writer suggests that Van Gogh’s reputation ______________ .A. was high soon after he diedB. grew steadily after his deathC. quickly developed through EuropeD. stopped growing until the 1980s2. Paragraph 3 implies that in 1890 many people _____ .A. did not agree with Theo’s view about his brotherB. thought Van Gogh had already produced his best paintingsC. thought Van Gogh had great ability as a painterD. were sad when Van Gogh died suddenly3. The writer says that Van Gogh was sane for most of his life. We know this from ____ .A. his letters to his brotherB. a Japanese businessmanC. his religious employersD. his father九Alvin E. Roth, who graduated from Columbia Engineering in 1971 and is currently Professor of Economics and Business Administration at Harvard, was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize in Economics for his pioneering work in the practical design of market institutions. He shares the awardwith Lloyd S. Shapley, professor at UCLA, who also used game theory to better understand different matching methods.The Royal Swedish Academy, which announced the winners this morning, awarded the two researchers the prize for “an outstanding example of economic engineering,” and while they worked independently of one another, the “combination of S hapley’s basic theory and Roth’s empirical investigations, experiments, and practical design has generated a flourishing field of research and improved the performance of many markets.” They will share the $1.2 million priz e. “We are absolutely thrilled,” said Dean and Professor of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR). “Columbia Engineering now has two graduates who have won the Nobel Prize in Economics, Robert C. Merton in 1997 and Alvin E. Roth in 2012, both from programs now housed in the IEOR Department! This is another highly visible confirmation of the great strengths at our school—superb students and professors.”Roth and his colleagues demonstrated that stability is the key to understanding the success of particular market institutions. Roth began studying the labor market for American doctors in the early 1980s, and was asked to direct its redesign in 1995. The Roth-Peranson (1999) algorithm is now used to organize a number of medical and health care markets. Roth’s research has led to the redesign of such complex systems as assigning students to public schools in large urban cities and the matching of kidney and other human organs to patients in need of a transplant.After receiving his B.S. from the Engineering School in 1971, Roth moved to California to complete his master’s and doctorate at Stanford University, both in operations research, in 1973 and 1974, respectively. He began his academic career as a professor after graduation and joined Harvard in 1998 and now is also a visiting professor of Economics at Stanford where he will join the faculty full-time in 2013. Roth has received numerous professional honors and awards in recognition of his research.Last week, Robert J. Lefkowitz, another Columbia alumnus who graduated in 1962 from the College and in 1966 from the Columbia’s College of Physicians and Surgeons, was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. To date, 82 Columbians—including alumni, faculty, adjunct faculty, researchers, and administrators—have won a Nobel Prize at some point in their careers.1 Which one of the following choices shares the most similar meaning with the underlined word “empirical” in Para. 2?A. theoreticalB. logicalC. practicalD. cooperative2. Roth’s research may NOT applicable to which of the following occupations?A. TeachersB. LawyersC. NursesD. Surgeons3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Roth will earn $0.6 million prize from Sweden.B. Roth joined Harvard upon graduating from Stanford with his doctor degree.C. Roth is leaving Harvard for Stanford next year.D. Roth is the second Nobel Prize winner of Columbia Engineering.十Who decides how English is spoken around the world? Do teachers in the colleges and schools? What about those who write dictionaries or books? Do they decide what is good and what is bad English? Or do governments decide when a language will change? Probably you have thought about this question once or twice before. The answer is that none of these people decide how English will be spoken. Believe it or not, many of the biggest changes in how English is spoken have come from common people in the streets. And one of the most important places where English has changed is on the playground! These playground can be any place where young people meet, such as a sports field or a beach. For example, black kids invented many new words in American English as they played basketball or music. Often words used by black kids in the big cities become popular with other kids many years later. Another popular sport, baseball, has also given many words and expressions to American English. On the beaches of southern California, teenagers invented words to describe how they felt when they surfed. These words found their way into the high schools and then to other places. Similar changes in English happened among young people in Ireland and Australia. Children from one group would find ways to play with children of another group more easily. Often they made new words just to develop an identity different from their parents.1. Who decides how English is spoken?A. GovernmentsB. TeachersC. Ordinary peopleD. Black kids2. According to the passage many English words come from ______.A. everyday lifeB. textbooksC. dictionariesD. baseballs3. Why do these kids invent new words?A. Because they want to make up a dictionary.B. Because they try to beat their teachers.C. Because they are asked to do so.D. Because they want to feel different from their parents十一When you buy a T-shirt, or a fur coat in a store, it often carries a label(标签) telling who made it or from what store it was bought. Indeed, some labels show the dress is famous and it is very expensive, so buyers secretly wish they might be carried for ever. On the other hand, buyers who deal with the cheapest products(产品) would be pleased to do away with labels entirely. However, there is another label more important than the one showing from which store the dress was bought. When a person buys a fur coat, or a jacket, from a store, a label telling what the product is made of should be carried to it.This label is required by law. Besides telling what the product on show is made of, the label should be in clear English and be where one can find it easily. The information on the label must be the truth.The reason for this label is that most buyers today aren’t expert enough to know exactly what kind of fur or material they are buying. The buyer must believe in the store that sells the products or in what the labels say.1. The law requires that furs carry a _______.A. clean labelB. clear labelC. white labelD. secret label2. This article mainly refers to _______.A. making furs and clothesB. protecting buyers with lawC. keeping the buyer informedD. businessmen and sellers。
