【英语】初三英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)含解析一、阅读理解1．阅读理解What do you see when you look at abstract （抽象的）art? Can you understand it? Does it look like anything?Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly like they looked. They didn't want their art to be realistic（现实的）. They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours （his "blue period"）. Later, he used more red and pink colours （his "rose period"）. Many of his other paintings are called "cubist （立体派的）" because they are made of painted squares.After a long time, Picasso's paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so strange that many of his workmates didn't understand it.Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings. Other artists like the surrealists （超现实主义画家），were interested in subconsciousness （潜意识）. Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams.There are still many abstract artists around the world. That's the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.（1）Which would be most like abstract art?A. A painting of a house.B. A sculpture of a car.C. A drawing of two people in a coffee house.D. A red and blue painting, with no clear subject.（2）What happened to Picasso's work after a long time?A. It became more abstract.B. It became less strange.C. He went from using red colours to using blue colours.D. He only painted with coloured squares.（3）How did Kandinsky express feelings?A. By using strong colours.B. By painting realistic people.C. By painting with a lot of symbols.D. By painting in red and pink colours.（4）Which of the following is NOT true?A. Picasso painted in many different styles.B. Dali was interested in dreams.C. Abstract artists feel each work of art only has one meaning.D. Magritte's art was full of symbols.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）A（4）C【解析】【分析】本文介绍了抽象派艺术及其代表人物毕加索。
英语英语阅读理解题20套带答案
（英语）英语阅读理解题20套（带答案）一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Dogs were living as companions to the early settlers of North America over 10,000 years ago. The oldest domestic dogs in the Americas were thought to be around 9500 years old. Angela Perri of Durham University, UK, and her colleagues have carried out fresh radiocarbon dating on the two dog skeletons that gave this date, discovered in the prehistoric Koster site in Illinois, and found they were even older: around 10,100 years old.A third dog from another Illinois site called Stilwell II was older still, at 10,190 years old. That makes it the oldest known domesticated dog in the Americas. The team concluded that all three dogs were domesticated as they skeletons were complete and unskinned, and so hadn't been butchered for food. They had also been carefully buried, evidence they were valued by their owners. The Stilwell II dog, which probably resembled a small English settler, was under what seemed to be the floor of a living area. It is unclear why it took so long for tame dogs to arrive in the Americas, given that they were domesticated at least 14,000 years ago in Eurasia. By this time, people were already moving into North America from Siberia; there is evidence some reached Chile 18,500 years ago. Geneticists have found signs of at least three waves of migration over the following millennia. There is no evidence that domestic dogs accompanied them. “We don't know if dogs were part of the first waves of immigration to the Americas" says Luc Janssens of Ghent University in Belgium. "It could be so, but no archaeological bones have yet been found." It is "overwhelmingly probable" that some of the early settlers did bring dogs to the Americas, but they may not have had "the time or the spiritual compulsion to bury them", says Pat Shipman of Pennsylvania State University.(1)How old is the oldest known domestic dog in the Americas7A. About 9500 years.B. About 10,100 years.C. 10,190 years.D. 18,500 years.(2)The underlined word "butchered" in the fourth paragraph could be replaced by.A. killedB. boughtC. trainedD. raised(3)What is the attitude towards when tame dogs arrived in the Americas in the last three paragraphs?A. Undoubted.B. Unsure.C. Indifferent.D. Unconfident.(4)What is the main topic of this passage?A. The earliest domestic dog in the Americas.B. The first dog arriving in the Americas.C. How dogs were domesticated in the Americas.D. When the oldest dog was found in the Americas.【答案】(1) C(2)A(3)B(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了大概一万年以前就在北美成为人类伙伴的狗的种类。

Within 20 days, seven-year-old Gianessa Wride's hair was completely gone, and her doctor said the hair would never grow back. Gianessa had become one of the 6. 8 million Americans with alopecia, an auto-immune disease that causes hair loss.Alopecia isn't painful, but for kids who suffer from it, the severe pain comes from standing out from the crowd. For the most part, the students in Gianessa's first-grade class in Salem, Utah, were understanding. But the occasional jokes of "Baldy"(秃子) made her feel like an abandoned child. "I didn't want her to feel that she wasn't like the other kids," her mother said." I tried covering her baldness, but the artificial hair was uncomfortable."Then comes the school's traditional "Crazy Hair Day" in April, a great just-for-fun celebration where all the kids and their parents can express their wild sides a bit. Daniella and Gianessa decided that rather than hide Gianessa's baldness under the artificial hair, they would celebrate it. Daniella bought scrapbook-sticker (贴纸) jewels and decorated her head with flowered designs and even a deer. "They just fit her personality," Daniella smiled. "She's so lovely."On the morning of the competition, Gianessa was nervous. Would her friends think it was funny? However, with her mother's encouragement, she had nothing to fear. Impressive Gianessa was a hit and a winner of the crazy-hair competition. Gianessa is now glad that she dared to go bare. "I was sad at first when I lost all my hair," she told people. "But now I love being bald. I can do things to my head that other kids can't. I'm thinking now it might be fun to decorate my head with some colourful butterflies and flowers. "（1）Why was Gianessa different from other kids?A.She was born bald.B.She suffered from hair loss.C.She was talented in hair designing.D.She had her head fully shaved.（2）How did others react to Gianessa's disease?A.Her doctor was quite optimistic.B.Her mother gave her artificial hair.C.Her classmates were all considerate.D.Her school offered her special help.（3）What could Gianessa do on the "Crazy Hair Day"?A.She could tease others.B.She could decorate her hair.C.She could shop scrapbook-stickers.D.She could show her personality.（4）What is the main idea of the text?A.The girl faced her disease in a most beautiful way.B.The artificial hair built up the girl's confidence.C.The competition served as a way to make a change.D.The disease was cured with mother's love and care.【答案】（1）B（2）B（3）D（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，一个七岁的女孩Gianessa Wride得了一种疾病，掉光了头发还不可能再重新长出来，但是她终于在家人和同学们的帮助下，勇敢地展现她的个性，愉快地生活。

英语阅读理解专项练习题【7篇】ln the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don’t get to see this soft side of others.Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning （按喇叭） or even shouting at me.At that moment，I decided to do something I had never done in twentyfour years ofdriving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood.Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pas s.They couldn’t get aro und me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way.But those are few and far often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we’re brave when we’re scared.（）1.The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ________.A．they offer their helpB．they receive others’ helpC．they feel others’ kindnessD．they show their weakness（）2.The author feels sad sometimes because ________.A．he has a soft heartB．he relies much on othersC．some people pretend to be kindD．some people fail to see the kindness in others （）3.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A．They speeded up to pass.B．They waited with patience.C．They tried their best to help.D．They put on their flashlights too.（）4.In this passage, the author advises us to ________.

英语阅读理解专项练习篇一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 tokeep 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 r espect 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。

【英语】高考英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解What do Leonardo da Vincii, Marie Curie, and Albert Einstein have in common? They were all left-handed, along with other famous people including Brad Pitt Prince William, and Barack Obama. In fact, an estimated 13 percent of the world's population may be left-handed and still most people around the world are right-handed.What makes a person become right-handed rather than left-handed? As yet no one really knows for sure. One simple idea suggests that people normally get right-handedness from their parents. Studies have found that two right-handed parents have only a 9.5 percent chance of having a left-handed child, whereas two left-handed parents have a 26 percent chance of havinga left-handed child. Another common theory is that left-handed people suffer mild brain damage during birth, which makes them left-handed. However, if this theory were true, it would not explain why the percentage of left-banded people is so similar in every society, when birth conditions vary so much from society to society.Whatever the reasons behind it, people's attitudes toward left-handedness have changed a lot over the years. Statistics show that although 13 percent of young people (10-20 years old) are left-handed, only 6 percent of the elderly are left-handed. Left-handed children used to be punished until they began using their right hand like other children, but today people who are left-handed are no longer looked down on nor are they considered abnormal. For most people today, either case is perfectly acceptable.（1）What makes one right-handed?A. The environment.B. Mild brain damage during birth.C. The reason is uncertain.D. Other people.（2）Why is the number of young people who are left-handed bigger than that of the elderly?A. Because the elderly are forced to become right-handed.B. Because left-handed people are considered abnormal.C. Because left-handedness can be cured.D. Because the young are easily damaged.（3）What does the text mainly talk about?A. Left-handed people are looked down upon.B. General facts about left-handed people.C. Some famous left-handed people.D. The reasons why people are left-handed.【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，关于左撇子现象作者进行了介绍和说明。

"I tried to pick it up and it was really heavy and I saw teeth on it." The bone weighed about 50 pounds. They eventually got the bone to their home and fitted it in their tub (浴盆), but it took their collective strength, might and a golf cart, to carry the large Mastodon bone."They didn't expect to find that," Michael's mom said. "Now that they have, I believe that they will be more aware of their surroundings and what they're digging up when they are digging and playing.""We've gotten a lot of petrified (石化的) wood and Civil War relics from the area and that's what I thought it was," the brothers' mother said. "This is our first set of teeth we've found. So we thought it was their imagination. We were quite surprised to see that it was not their imagination."They were exploring near the brothers' home. Lo and behold (真想不到), they saw what they thought resembled a fossil. It was the curator of paleontology (古生物负责人) of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, George Phillips, who first identified the bone as a "very mature individual."The Mastodon was a mammal who lived during the prehistoric times. They had long tusks and trunks, like elephants. They were clearly different from their modern-day counterparts, as well as woolly mammoths (猛犸).（1）How did they find the jawbone of a Mastodon?A. With great efforts.B. By chance.C. Instructed by an expert.D. Through imagination.（2）At first the brothers' mother thought the jawbone was .A. from people who died in the Civil WarB. the bone from a very mature individualC. like a log or somethingD. the prehistoric bone（3）The discovery of the jawbone of a Mastodon is important mainly because it .A. helps people to know more about the Civil WarB. teaches kids to be more aware of their surroundingsC. promotes the research on more prehistoric creaturesD. attracts the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the article?A.

In other words,we fail to“fail forward”.We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed,and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals.This phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”,which was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad.Sjastad explains that“sour-grape effect”is a self-protective mechanism.“Most of us picture ourselves as competent people,so when external feedback(反馈)suggests otherwise,it poses a serious threat to that self-image,”he says.“The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the external signal,so we can reduce the inconsistency and preserve a positive sense of self.We do this even without noticing.”If you have one bad interview for your dream job,you might convince yourself that you don’t really want it at all,and stop applying for similar positions.The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial,or if a publisher rejects the first submission of your manuscript(手稿).“We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our‘Plan C’is actuallysomething“stupid”.If they do,it is probably because they don’t really understand it themselves, or they have something to hide.In that sense,you learn something useful either way. 13．Why does the author mention her encounter with Martin?A．To describe a journalist’s work pressure.B．To show the benefits of asking questions.C．To present the best way to solve problems.D．To introduce an economics reporter’s routine.14．What does the author mean by saying“this is a dying art”?A．Fewer people tend to raise questions.B．Few valuable questions are put forward.C．People don’t know how to ask questions properly.D．People don’t feel ashamed of asking silly questions.15．What does the2021study suggest?A．People usually pretend to be knowledgeable.B．Fake and real concepts are hard to distinguish.C．People shouldn’t believe others’words too quickly.D．Fear of asking questions leads to bad consequences.16．Which section of a website is this text most likely from?A．Technology.B．Opinion.C．Friendship.D．Culture.（5）Do you remember when Nelson Mandela died?In the1980s?In the1990s?The answer is in 2013.The political figure was in prison from1964to1990before receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in1993and being elected president in1994.However,many people incorrectly remember him dying in prison in the1980s,which is how the Mandela effect gets its name.The Mandela effect is a phenomenon where a large number of people believe something happened,when in reality,it did not.For example,many people misremember details such as the color of a snack packet or the name of a TV show.A2020memory study found that76%of adults made at least one detectable error when asked to recall information,demonstrating that memory is not accurate.“The Mandela effect seems to be closely related to a number of well-known memory phenomena,”said Tim Hollins,a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Plymouth in the U.K.He named three similar types of memory-related phenomena:“false memory,”which is the creation of a memory that didn’t happen;“source-memory errors,”which is when someone forgets the true source of a memory;and“imagination inflation(膨胀),”which is the tendency to believe something is real when it is often or vividly imagined.However,Hollins believes the phenomenon that is most closely connected to the Mandela effect is that of“gist memory,”which is when someone has a general idea of something but can’t necessarily remember the specifics.A common example relates to the monkey called Curious George,a children’s book character that first appeared in the1940s,and his lack of a tail.“Remembering Curious George as having a tail just reflects the fact that most monkeys have tails,”Hollins said.“If you just remember the gist-it’s a monkey-why wouldn’t you remember him having a tail?”17．What contributes to the name of the Mandela effect?A．Mandela passed away in the prison.B．Mandela received the Nobel Peace Prize.C．Mandela’s death was wrongly remembered.D．Mandela’s political ideas were well-received.18．What does Paragraph3mainly talk about?A．Experiments related to memory phenomena.B．Psychological causes for the Mandela effect.C．Memory problems leading to the Mandela effect.D．Scientific explanation of memory-related problems.19．What can we learn about our memory from the text?A．It is not as reliable as we think.B．It can be improved through efforts.C．Memories of details do not last long.D．Imagination helps strengthen memory.20．Which is a phenomenon of“gist memory”according to the text?A．Imagining something that didn’t exist.B．Recalling every word of a conversation.C．Just preserving the memory of pleasant things.D．Remembering only key features of something.参考答案：1．C2．B3．D4．A【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

【英语】初三英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)一、英语阅读（日常生活类）1．阅读理解When it comes to helping developing countries, we often think about offering money in orderthat they can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However, it's far from enough.We have to come up with better ideas.A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed isnot the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can bea problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle in order that childrencan wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in thelong term.Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK. And probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is very bed for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals atthe same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to" kill two birds with one "and that is always a good thing.（1）The underlined phrase "wind up" in paragraph 2 means .A. 吹风B. 给……上发条C. 摇上D. 利用空气……使……（2）The laptop computer that Mr. Negroponte has designed .A. will be damaged much easier than the normal oneB. has a special handle to access the InternetC. is cheap and can run with extra powerD. can be helpful to find the people's own solutions（3）According to the passage，what benefit can we get from recycling old mobile phones?A. We can reduce the waste to protect the environment.B. We can help children in developing countries reuse the old mobile phones.C. it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users.D. It not only reduces the waste produced by developed countries but also helps the children in developing countries.（4）Mr. Negroponte's cheap computer is mentioned in the passage to .A. illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countriesB. tell us what high technology can help peopleC. show how to find business opportunities in developing countriesD. give an example of how to help developing countries（5）Which is the best idea the author gives us to help the developing countries?A. We need to help people in developing countries to help themselves，not just throw money at the problem.B. We should spend much money helping people in developing countries build more schools and hospitals.C. We should think about giving help to developing countries more often.D. We should help the people in developing countries by improving children's education immediately.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D（4）D（5）A【解析】【分析】主要讲了Nicholas Negroponte发明了一种便宜的手提电脑和循环使用手机来帮助发展中国家。

Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking to each other on the phone. The communication is very important in children's growth, because friends can discuss some things that are difficult to say to their family members.However, parents often try to choose their children's friends for them.

He certainly looked the part all right, he thought as he admired himself in the mirror.Then he suddenly felt nervous. After all, it was his first time to have a part in a play. How could he face all those people watching the play? He put his head in his hands and tried to remember his lines(台词),but nothing came to his mind.A knock on the door made him look up. He was to go on stage in the second scene. “Have I missed my part and destroyed (破坏)the play for everybody ?” he thought to himself. But it was only the manager. She noticed how nervous he was and suggested he should stand near the stage where he could watch and follow the play.

The dog was looking up at the woman.Jack walked up to the woman and said, "Hello, Sue, how are you? May I sit and talk with you for a while?" "Of course, please sit down," Sue said. Jack sat down next to Sue on the bench, and they talked quietly together. The dog continued to look up at Sue, as if waiting to be fed."That's a nice dog, isn't he?" Jack said, pointing at the animal."Yes, he is. He's handsome. He's a bit of a mixture, but that's not a bad thing. He's strong and healthy.""And hungry, "Jack said." He hasn't taken his eyes off you. He thinks you've got some food for him.""That's true, "Sue said." But I haven't."They both laughed and then Jack said, "Does your dog bite（咬人）?""No, "Sue said, "He's never bitten anyone. He's always gentle and friendly."Hearing this, Jack decided to hold out his hand and touched the animal's head. Suddenly it jumped up and bit him."Hey!" Jack shouted."

Jack made a mistakeC. the dog wasn't dangerousD. both Jack and Sue liked the dog（6）No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting(天气预报).For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow(彩虹) during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog(雾) appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.50. Which of the following can be used here to replace(取代) the underlined phrase “on the way”?A. awayB. goneC. disappearingD. coming51. When you see the stars twinkle clearly at night, the weather will be_________.A. warmB. rainyC. clear and fineD. cold52. Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy?A. A rainbow appears in the morning.B. Some birds fly high.C. The stars twinkle clearly at night.D. Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.（7）One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.1. "What's the matter？" "I went to a party last night, so I……"2. "I feel so tired these days."" I think you'd better…"3."Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most……"You can see from the above three examples that the context (上下文) helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So "guessing" is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.53. This passage tells us mainly about _________.A. the importance of "guessing" in learning a foreign languageB. how to guess what one is going to talk aboutC. some examples of right guessingD. how important it is to guess all the time54. From the context, we can see maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 1 is _________.A. "… so I didn't have a good time."B. "…so I went to bed very late."C. "….so I felt unhappy."D. "… so I got up very early."55. Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.A. "I think you'd better have a good rest and take good care of yourself."B. "I think you'd better have something to drink."C. "I think you'd better get some help from your friends."D. "I think you'd better be more careful."56. Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 3 is ______.A. "…… she is one of the most famous film stars."B. "……sh e is one of the most beautiful women."C. "……she is one of the most famous speakers."D. "……she is one of the most talkative women."（8）Would you know what to do during a big earthquake? Scientists have some advice for us.If the ground begins shaking while you are driving, stop your car on the roadside and stay in it. If you are in a tall building, don't use the lift and never jump out of the windows. When you are in a living room, find a strong table or rush into a smaller room like washroom. Then lie down your body. Take care of your head. When you are in a public place, like supermarket or cinema, don't crowd in jam(拥挤) , or you may fall over and get hurt. Cross your arms to protect yourself. You can also find a place to hide.After the main shake, quickly run out of the dangerous building for there will be small earthquakes. If you are safe, remember not to engage the phone line, keep it free for rescue(援救) using. Don't go to the hospital if you are not badly hurt, others will really need help. Take part in the rescue action if you can.57. What should people do if they are driving when an earthquake happens?A. Drive on quickly.B. Take care of the car.C. Stop the car on the roadside.D.

Now, the Emoji-quake campaign islobbying for an earthquake emoji to be added to the Unicode set — the standard group of icons availableon digital devices worldwide. The campaign aims to find an earthquake- appropriate design to besubmitted to Unicode."Approximately up to one third of the world's population are exposed to earthquakes," explains Universityof Southampton seismologist ( 地震学家)Dr. Stephen Hicks, a founder of the campaign. "So we really wantto be able to communicate to all of those regions, all of those different languages, and an emoji is an amazingway of doing that."Unlike many other weather and climate related events, where longer warning times or visible signs areavailable, earthquakes move incredibly quickly and are difficult to measure while they are still occurring.Populations in areas like Japan and Mexico are dependent on earthquake early warning technology, whichissues an alert on digital devices and broadcast media. "You may have seconds to get under a table or toprotect yourself," explains Dr. Hicks. "That can be life saving in many cases. Naturally you don't want toomuch wording in the warning message."Pictographs (象形文字)and other visuals like emoji have a track record of being faster and easier tounderstand than written information. Dr. Sara McBride, a communications specialist, who is also part of thecampaign, told BBC News, "Emoji can cross the boundaries of written languages, helping communicatevaluable information to people who may struggle to read a certain language."The potential usefulness of emoji in emergencies could extend well beyond earthquakes. A team ofdesigners also came up with emerji — an entire set of emoji dedicated to climate and environmental events.(1) According to the passage, why did the campaign choose earthquakes as their target? A. Could an emoji save our life?B. What can emoji do in our life?C. How is emoji changing our life?D. Do we really know about emoji?A.

【英语】英语阅读理解专项一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Most of us have been in this situation: You're on your way to your friend's house, then you suddenly ask yourself,"Did I remember to turn the lights off?” For those with "smart homes", however, this wouldn't be a problem.Over the last few years,smart home technology has become more popular. Thanks to user-friendly products like intelligent lighting and heating controllers, people can control nearly every electrical item in their homes from anywhere in the world.While smart homes aren't new, companies like Philips, Amazon and Xiaomi have finally brought automation to everyday people with affordable products like artificial intelligence(AI) speakers and sensors.“The obvious message is that you can stop wasting energy,” Tom Kerber, director of research for U. S -based digital company Parks Associates, told The Guardian.And the technology also has more meaningful uses. In Norway, for example, one company is using smart tech to make life easier for its elderly customers. Abilia's system allows carers to check up on patients through a tablet on a wall inside their home. The device sends patients reminders about tasks, such as when they need to take medication(冥想). It can even tell carers if there's any unusual activity in the home that could be life-threatening.“This kind of system allows people to take care of themselves, which is the most important thing,” Abilia's vice president, Oystein Johnsen, told the BBC. "It also saves the government money. In Norway, it costs 1 million kroner(about 0. 8 million yuan )per year to have someone in a care home. This system costs 15,000 kroner a year.”So, for those who have already "gone smart", will it ever be possible to go back to do things in the old-fashioned way? "I think it would be difficult. When we go to a friend's house or on vacation we find ourselves expecting the house to do things for us that we should do, "Poulson, 35, a senior program manager from Seattle.,U.

2．阅读理解America is well known for being a melting pot of different ethnic groups and cultures, but nowhere is this diversity more pronounced than in Queens, New York.Here, second-generation Puerto Ricans live alongside third-generation Greeks and first-generation Koreans, all united by a common feeling of pride in their American identity. However, they are also proud and curious about their ancestral roots. National Geographic's Genographic Project, also known as the Human Family Tree, set out to trace the origins by examining their genetic makeup using a simple DNA test. What interested them more was something that intrigues us all: the history of our recent ancestry. One recurring theme among immigrants seems to be the hard work and sacrifices that went into building a new life, and how their descendants now feel a duty to honor that effort by working hard too. Here is one Queens resident's story.Richard, 38My great-grandfather Tomas came to America from Poland when he was fifteen. His mother had died, and his father remarried. Tomas didn't like his stepmother, so he ran away to Belgium, where he boarded a ship to America—without a ticket. Arriving in America with nothing, he got a job on the railroads in California. Then one day he saw an announcement in a newspaper that was read by immigrants. It was from his brother in New York who was also seeking his fortune inAmerica and was looking for him. Tomas got in touch and they had an emotional reunion in New York, where Tomas subsequently settled. This is the story that my grandmother has passed down to us, to my parents, and all my aunts and uncles. She is an amazing woman and I suppose: the one who holds us all together. She's actually quite forgetful now, but she never forgets family details. What that has meant is that all of us have a strong family bond and a strong sense of belonging to a group that has struggled and fought together to steered here.（1）What is special about Queens?A.
