2013高考英语（浙江）阅读理解系列（3）（解析）(A)BEIJING—A chemical that ripens fruits and vegetables doesno harm to human health, experts said following recent reportsabout a ripener used in several provinces.“There is no problem with using ethephon to ripen fruits. Thisplant growth regulator is completely the same as hormones producedby plants themselves when they get ripe, ”Luo Yunbo, dean of the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering under China Agricultural University and an expert of plant physiology, told China Daily on Monday.“The chemical is safe enough that there is even no need for detection, for it has been used worldwide for decades. ” Luo said.The national standard for the amount of residue of the chemical is two milligrams in every kilogram of fruit, and experts said the actual dosage is far below that level, as overuse benefits neither farmers nor their fruit.“Overdose may make fruit ripen too rapidly and even rot, and will scorch the skin of fruit, which will harm sales for vendors, ”Luo said.China learned the use of the hormone from the United States and Japan, which is a pioneer in research and use of plant growth accelerators and regulators. Ethephon, an organic compound, is an agricultural plant growth stimulant that is sprayed on 70 or 80 percent ripe fruit after they have been picked. It gives off ethylene to facilitate ripening.Some fruit, such as bananas, will rot instead of ripen without such a ripener, according to experts.“The traditional way to ripen bananas is to put them together with mature apples, which can release ethephon to help bananas ripen, or ripen them by fuming with joss sticks. But these two ways may give bananas uneven color when they turn yellow, and the fruit will never have achieved mass production, ” Luo said.People interviewed by China Daily said it is easy to stir panic about additivesor growth accelerators, as food safety is a major concern.21. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Experts said the fruit ripener causes no danger.B. How to use the fruit ripener.C. The harm of the fruit ripener.D. Customers are worried about the fruit ripener.22. The underlined word“dosage” in Paragraph 4 probably means _______.A. the way to use somethingB. the amount to use somethingC. the advantage of using somethingD. the disadvantage of using something23. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Ethephon is produced by plants themselves when they get ripe.B. Overdose will help plants ripen better.C. Ethephon is sprayed on 70 or 80 percent ripe fruit before they have been picked.D. China learned the use of the hormone from the United States and Japan.24. What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To tell us the latest development in agriculture.B. To tell us the experts’ attitude to the use of the fruit ripener.C. To share his knowledge about how to use the fruit ripener.D. To warn us the harm of the fruit ripener.25. What will probably be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. People’s panic about additives or growth accelerators.B. The future of the fruit ripener.C. The measures to be taken about the fruit ripener.D. The new standard about using the fruit ripener.(B)I had once helped a friend of mine run a watermelon stall. I noticed something interesting. Almost every buyer would lift the melon up to their ear, smartly tap it， apparently trying to listen to something. I wondered what they expected to hear.Finally I could no longer hold back my curiosity and made bold to ask a customer—an elderly gentleman—about this. Hearing my question，he roared with laughter. Then he replied in a self-mocking(自嘲)tone，“Young lady, I have been doing this for more than fifty years. All I know is that everybody would stare at you as if you were a fool if you just pick up the melon and leave! ”Not long after that，my watermelon stall friend unexpectedly sent me an invitation for her wedding, which really surprised me. I asked her, “How come you are seized by a sudden desire to get married? I don’t remember ever hearing you mention that you’ve got a boyfriend.”She answered while counting money, “Everyone has to get married anyway, so it is better to get married sooner than later. ”I could think of no word to refute(反驳)her. It seems that everybody is living for everybody else and has forgotten the need of their own heart. It may be safe and save a lot of worries by following others’ suit in doing things. The use of We or Us will give one a steady and sure sense of pride. But using the pronoun “I” would often give one a guilty conscience.I find all these things somewhat funny. We have got used to taking cue from(模仿)others and follow their suit. In turn，we also take it for granted that we should judge the right and wrong of others by our own standard. As a matter of fact，this massive practice is still wrong though we all follow others’ suit like this，but we feel at ease and, justified simply because this is the way of Us，and so we can have an easy conscience because this has been practiced by so many people.26. The writer probably feels that it is________ .A. necessary for the buyer to tap the watermelonB. foolish of the buyers to buy watermelon without tapping itC. funny that the buyers will tap the watermelons when buying themD. wise of the elderly gentleman to tap watermelons before buying them27. The writer uses the example of her friend’s decision of getting married to show that________ .A. her friend took no account of others’ feelingB. her friend decided to marry just to follow the crowdC. her friend was a person who has strong personalityD. everybody in the world should marry for others28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. It may be safe to follow others’ suit in doing things.B. I was surprised to receive my friend’s invitation for her wedding.C. My experience of helping my friend run a watermelon stall was interesting.D. The use of We or I will give speakers themselves quite different senses.29. Which word can replace the underlined word “justified” in the last paragraph?A. Reasonable.B. Embarrassed.C. Ashamed.D. Nervous.30. In which section of a magazine can you read the passage?A. Art and LifeB. Sport and HealthC. Culture and SocietyD. Science and Technology答案解析21.【解析】选A。

2013高考英语(二月)阅读理解精选（1）及答案维A1 阅读理解（每题2分，满分8分）选材相似度：★★★★设题相似度：★★★难度系数：★★★★The modern British Empire first took shape in the early 17th century，with the British settlement of the eastern colonies of North America,which would later become the original United States，as well as Canada’s Maritime provinces，and the colonizations of the smaller islands of the Caribbean such as Trinidad and Tobago,the Bahamas，Barbados，and Jamaica.These sugar plantation islands,where slavery became the basis of the economy，were at first Britain's most important and successful colonies。
The American colonies providing tobacco，cotton，and rice in the south and naval material and furs in the north were less financially successful，but had large areas of good agricultural land and attracted far larger numbers of British immigrants。
英语学习资料：2013年高考英语阅读理解练习及答案（8）
英语学习资料：2013年高考英语阅读理解练习及答案（8）In modern society there is a great deal of argument about petition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity, others say that petition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self – worth relied (依赖) on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life – and – death affairs. In their single – minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame petition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under petitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to se ek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true petitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self – respect relies on how well one performs in parison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fearbegins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in petition.1.What does this passage mainly talk about?petition helps to set up self – respect.B.Opinions about petition are different among people.petition is harmful to personal quality development.D.Failures are necessary experiences in petition2.Why do some people favor petition according to the passage?A.It pushes society forward.B.It builds up a sense of duty.C.It improves personal abilities.D.It encourages individual efforts.3.The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means .A.those who try their best to winB.those who value petition most highlyC.those who are against petition most stronglyD.those who rely on others most for success4.What is the similar belief of the true petitors and those witha desire to fail ?A.One’s worth lies in his performance pared with others.B.One’s success in petition needs great efforts.C.One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.D.One’s success is based on how hard he ha s tried.5.Which point of view may the author agree to?A.Every effort should be paid back.petition should be encouraged.C.Winning should be a life – and – death matter.D.Fear of failure should be removed in petition.答案：1.B 2.A 3.C 4.A 5.D。
2013年高考英语试题分类汇编_科普类阅读理解_Word版含解析
2013年高考英语试题分类汇编之科普类阅读理解【重庆卷】 CAlmost every machine with moving parts has wheels, yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for. We do know, however, that they existed over 5,500 years ago in ancient Asia.The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5,100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn't become popular for a while, though. This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.But it could also be because of a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modem road design.In the mid-1700s, a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer (层) of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same lime, metal hubs (the central part of a wheel) came into being, followed by the pneumatic tyre(充气轮胎) in 1846. Alloy wheels were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads (柏油路). As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster.64. What might explain why transport wheels didn't become popular for some time?A. Few knew how to use transport wheels.B. Humans carried farming tools just as well.C. Animals were a good means of transport.D. The existence of transport wheels was not known.65. What do we know about road design from the passage?A. It was easier than wheel design.B. It improved after big changes in vehicle design.C. It was promoted by fast-moving vehicles.D. It provided conditions for wheel design to develop.66. How is the last paragraph mainly developed?A. By giving examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By following time order.D. By making classifications.67. What is the passage mainly about?A. The beginning of road design.B. The development of transport wheels.C. The history of public transport.D. His invention of fast-moving vehicles.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，题材是车轮。

2013北京高考英语阅读理解真题
Does Fame Drive You Crazy?Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities —famous people —worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,”Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story”alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.63. It can be learned from the passage that stars today .A. are often misunderstood by the publicB. can no longer have their privacy protectedC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fame64. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.65. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A.Availability of modern media.B. Inadequate social recognition.C. Lack of favorable chances.D. Huge population of fans.66. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere.B. Sceptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.63【答案】：B【解析】：此题为细节题。

Wright’schurches, for example, make people feel like thinking and praying.His office buildings make people enjoy working, and his housesmake people feel comfortable, at home. However, Frank Lloyd Wright’sbeautiful, practical and useful buildings are not the only reasonthat he is famous. There is another reason. Frank Lloyd Wright iscalled the greatest American architect because he started anAmerican style in architecture. Most of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European, not American. Wright’s buildings do not look like old European buildings. They have their own style. Wright’s ideas about style are still used in the United States and in other parts of the world.The most important idea in Frank Lloyd Wright’s style of architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it. His houses are often called “grass-land houses” because their lines are similar to the lines on the grassland. Both the lines of the grassland and the lines of Wright’s house are parallel to the horizon, the place where earth and sky seem to meet. They are horizontal lines. Most European style houses, in contrast, have many vertical lines that form 90°angles with the horizon.36.

A building must have grassland around it.C. American style in architecture should be different from European’s.D. Design should be more important than use.39. Which of the following is NOT true about Wright’s “grassland houses”?A. The lines of “grassland houses” are similar to lines on the grassland.B. The lines of “grassland houses” are horizontal.C. The color of the lines of “grassland houses” is green.D. They are different from European style houses.40. The best title for this passage would be ________ .A.

2013高考英语北京卷阅读理解试题及答案详解：社会现象
2013 高考英语北京卷阅读理解试题及答案详解：社会现象2013 高考英语北京卷阅读理解试题及答案详解:社会现象Does Fame Drive You Crazy?Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today's stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world's attention. Paparazzi(狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids(小报) publishthrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities—famous people—worryconstantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated andalone. ”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C. , painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attractedthousands of fans, leading him to complain(抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920sand 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult thanit used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why aren't all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already. 1. It can be learned from the passage that stars today .located in the Tomb, Dong Shen Jia bang, defer the next day focused on the assassination. Linping, Zhejiang, 1 of which liquor wine masters (Wuzhen said information is Carpenter), who got A few bayonets, due to missed fatal, when night cameA. are often misunderstood by the publicB. can no longer have their privacy protectedC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fame2. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Great heroes of the past were generally admiredB. The problem faced by celebrities has a long historyC. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloidsD. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers3. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A. B. Availability of modern media Inadequate social recognitionC. D. Lack of favorable chances Huge population of fans 4. What is the author's attitude toward modern celebrity?A. B. C. D. Sincere Skeptical Disapproving Sympathetic 1. B.从文章首段重点“paparazzi”等词可以看出本文是一篇以明星隐私不能得到良好保护为主题的文章。

2013年高考英语试卷分类汇编之故事类阅读理解（2013年高考北京卷）BTail SpinTwo dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park.The smaller dolphin Grace, shown off a few of her tricks, turningaround and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thingabout her, however, is that she’s even swimming at all. She doesn’t have a tail.Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap.When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005, she was fighting for her life. “Is she going to make it?” Her tra iner, Abbey Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make it --- but her tail didn’t. She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.Over the past six years, she has learned to swim without her tail. Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down. Grace taught herself to move another way---like a fish! She pushed herself forward through the water by moving her peduncles from side to side.The movement put harmful pressure on Grace’s backbone. So a company offered to create aman-made tail for her. The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn’t hurt her.The first time Grace wore the artificial tail. She soon shook it off and let it sink in the bottom of the pool. Now, she is still learning to use the tail. Some days she wears it for an hour at a time, others not at all. “The tail isn’t necessary for her to feel comfortable,” says Stone, “but it helps to keep that range of motion(动作) and build muscles(肌肉).”Now, the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending. This month, Grace will star in Dolphin Tale, a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery. Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie. Many people travel from near and far to meet her. Seeing Grace swim with her man-made tail gives people so much courage.60. When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park, her trainer worried about her ______.A. physical buildB. potential abilityC. chance of survivalD. adaptation to the surroundings.61. A man-made tail is created for Grace to ______.A. let her recover fasterB. make her comfortableC. adjust her way of swimmingD. help her perform better tricks62.

2013高考英语试题
2013高考英语试题一、阅读理解Passage 1Questions 1-5Read the following passage and answer the questions.Language is a flexible tool. That fact is especially clear in the history of the English language.The English language has changed dramatically over the centuries. Old English, from which Modern English is derived, was spoken and written from roughly the years 450 to 1150. The language that was spoken during these years sounds similar to German, Old Norse, and Old Frisian.Middle English, which came after Old English, was spoken and written from about 1150 to about 1500. It is quite difficult for Modern English speakers to understand Middle English because the pronunciation and vocabulary are so different. The Canterbury Tales, written by Geoffrey Chaucer in the late 14th century, is one of the most famous works of literature written in Middle English.Modern English, as we know it today, has been spoken and written since about the late 15th century. The language continued to evolve, with influences from the Renaissance, theIndustrial Revolution, and the technological advancements of the 20th and 21st centuries.1.What is the main topic of the passage?A)The history of the English languageB)The differences between Old English andModern EnglishC)The influence of the Renaissance on theEnglish languageD)The Canterbury Tales as an example ofMiddle English literature2.When was Old English spoken and written?A)Roughly from 450 to 1150B)Roughly from the late 15th century to thepresentC)From about 1150 to about 1500D)Since about the late 15th century3.Which of the following is true about Middle English?A)It is difficult for Modern English speakersto understand.B)It sounds similar to German, Old Norse,and Old Frisian.C)It was spoken and written from about1150 to about 1500.D)The Canterbury Tales is an example ofMiddle English literature.4.What are some influences on the evolution of Modern English?A)The Renaissance, the IndustrialRevolution, and technological advancementsB)The Canterbury Tales, the IndustrialRevolution, and the RenaissanceC)Technological advancements, theRenaissance, and the Industrial RevolutionD)Technological advancements, theIndustrial Revolution, and the Canterbury Tales5.Which of the following is true about the English language?A)It has remained unchanged for centuries.B)It is derived from Old Frisian.C)It was influenced by the Renaissance andthe Industrial Revolution.D)It has had no significant influencesthroughout its history.Passage 2Questions 6-10Read the following passage and answer the questions.The human brain is a remarkable organ. It is responsible for all our thoughts, feelings, and actions. But how does the brain work? And what can go wrong when it doesn’t work properly?The brain is made up of billions of specialized cells called neurons. These neurons communicate with each other through electrical signals and chemicals called neurotransmitters. When everything is functioning correctly, this communication allows us to think, learn, and perform complex tasks. However, when something disrupts this communication, it can lead to neurological disorders.One example of a neurological disorder is epilepsy. Epilepsy is a condition characterized by recurring seizures, which are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Although the exact cause of epilepsy is not known, it is believed to be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.Another common neurological disorder is Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It is the mostcommon cause of dementia, a group of disorders characterized by a decline in cognitive function. Although there is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, researchers are working hard to better understand its causes and develop potential treatments.6.What is the main topic of the passage?A)The structure of the brainB)The function of neurotransmittersC)Neurological disordersD)The causes of epilepsy7.What is one function of neurons?A)They communicate through electricalsignals.B)They are responsible for thoughts,feelings, and actions.C)They cause neurological disorders.D)They disrupt communication in the brain.8.What causes epilepsy?A)Genetic and environmental factorsB)Abnormal electrical activity in the brainC)Alzheimer’s diseaseD) A decline in cognitive function9.What is one symptom of Alzheimer’s disease?A)Recurring seizuresB)Abnormal electrical activity in the brainC) A decline in cognitive functionD)Memory loss10.What is the current status of Alzheimer’s disease?A)There is no known cause or cure.B)Researchers are working on potentialtreatments.C)It is characterized by abnormal electricalactivity in the brain.D)It affects memory, thinking, and behavior.二、翻译与写作翻译将以下句子翻译成英文。
