V. Reading Comprehension (15%)AIt was 3.21 a. m. when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning. Except for the crackling （爆裂声）of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin, Long Island.With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each on through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, collapsed on the lawn.The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother's room. He found it impossible to wake her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious, and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and, as a fireman said later, "acted with all the self-control of a trained adult."On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?Grasping firmly a ball of string from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother's room. Tying one end of the string to her hand he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the ga rden.Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan :"The string will lead you to mother." Mrs. Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.71．Why did Glenn run downstairs first?A．He wanted to find out what was happening. B．He was worried about his mother's safety.C．He wanted to save his sister and brother.D．He went to see if his father had come back.72．Who called the fire brigade and ambulance service?A．Glenn. B．Glenn's father. C．Glenn's sister. D．Glenn's neighbor.73．What did Glenn do to protect himself?A．He put a wet cloth around his head.B．He threw water all over himself.C．He hid himself in the bathroom.D．He rushed out to the lawn.74．Glenn saved his family because __________.A．his father had taught him to do so on the phone B．he had learned something about first aidC．he had dealt with the emergency calmly and wisely D．he had followed his mother's instructionBThere are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power (原子能).First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station.Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail, Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.Second, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes nonradioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buri ed under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines,or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers.Third, there may occur the danger of a leak (泄漏) or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. However, it can happen.Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster (灾难) is extremely high.75. Which of the following if FALSE?A. It is possible that a leak or an explosion occurs at a power station.B. It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land.C. The containers are l ikely to be broken by an earthquake.D. Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for many years.76. The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastesare .A. easyB. impossibleC.reasonable D. ineffective77. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A. The power station is a safe place.B. The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented.C. The general public are strongly against the nuclear program.D. By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry.78. What is this passage about?A. Uses of nuclear power.B. Dangers from nuclear power.C. Public anger at nuclear power.D. Accidents caused by nuclear power.CThere is one foreign product the Japanese are buying faster faster than others，and itspopularity has caused an uneasy feeling among many Japanese.That product is foreign words.Gairaigo-words that comefrom outside have been part of the Japanese language forcenturies. Mostly borrowed from English and Chiease.These ter ms are often changed into formsno longer understood by native speakers.But in the last few years the trickle(涓涓细流)of foreign words has become a flood，andpeople fear the increasing use of foreign words is making it hard for the Japanese tounderstand each other and could lead to many people forgetting the good qualities oftraditional(传统的) Japanese.“The popularity of forgign words is part of the Japanese interest in anything，”saysuniversity lecturer and writer Takashi Saito.“By using a foreign w ord you can make a subjectseem new，which makes it easier for the medias(媒体)to pick up.”“Experts(专家)often study abroad and use English terms when they speak with people intheir own fields. Those terms are then included in government white papers，”sai d MuturoKai,president of the National Language Research Institute.“Foreign words find their wayeasily into announcements made to the general public，when they should really be explained inJapanese.”Against the flow of new words，many Japanese are turning back to the study of their ownlanguage.Saito's Japanese to Be Read Aloud is one of many language books that are now flyingoff book sellers' shelves.“We were experting to sell the books to young people，”said the writer，“but it turnsout they are more popular with the older generation who seem uneasy about the future ofJapanese.”79. What advantages do foreign words have over traditional Japanese terms？A. The idea sexpressed in foreign words sound new.B. Foreign words are best suited for announce ments.C. Foreign words make new subject seasier to understand.D. The use of foreign words makes the media more popular.80.IntheopinionofTakashiSaito，Japanesepeople_____.A. are good at learning foreign languagesB. Are willing to learn about new thingsC. trust the mediaD. respect experts81. Which of the following plays an important part in the spread of foreign words？A. The media and govemment papersB. Best-selling Japanese textbooks.C. The interest of young Japenese.D. Foreign products and expe rts82. The book Japanese to Be read Aloud____.A. sells very well in JapanB. is supported by the governmentC. is questioned by the old generationD. causes misunderstanding among the readers.DPlanet HunterWhen Geoff Marcy was 14, his parents bought him a telescope. Every night, he would go onto the roof outside his window to see the wonders of the sky.“What excited me most was whether there were planets（行星）in other solar（太阳的）systems where life might exist, ”he says. “I decided to try to find planets orbiting（沿…轨道运行）other stars like our Sun.”And he did. “My fellow researcher, Paul Butler, and I found our first planet in 1995, ”Dr. Marcy says. “We worked for ten years without finding anything! But we stuck with i t, and our patience paid off. ”Since then, the two scientists have discovered 65 of the more than 100 planets found orbiting other stars. Dr. Marcy and Dr. Butler also spotted the first “family”of three planets. In June 2002 they announced another discovery: a Jupiter-like（像木星一样的）planet orbiting star 55 Cancri.At first, the two researchers found only planets that orbit close to stars. Recently, the scientists found planets farther out. The planet orbiting 55 Cancri is a major breakthrough: it is t he first sighting of a large gas planet about the same distance from the star as Jupiter is from the Sun.Why is this important? Scientists think that life on Earth may exist because of two special features（特征）in our solar system. The first is Jupiter.“Because it’s so big, Jupiter pulls comets and asteroids（小行星）, or they all come and hit the Earth. ”Dr. Marcy explains. “Without Jupiter, life on Earth would likely have been destroyed. ”A second feature is that Earth is a rocky planet where liqu id water, which is necessary for life, can exist. Unlike gas planets, rocky planets like Earth have surfaces where water can gather in pools and seas, which may support life. A huge space exists between the Jupiter-like planet and two other planets that li e close to 55 Cancri. Is there an Earth-like planet in the space, too small for us to notice? If so, says Dr. Marcy, “We would have two striking similarities to our solar system: a Jupiter-like planet and an Earth-like planet. And there may be life! ”83. What can we learn about Dr. Marcy from the passage?A. He is fond of watching Jupiter.B. He is from a scientist family.C. He dislikes working with Paul Butler.D. He is interested in finding life in outer space.84. How many planets orbiting oth er stars have the two scientists discovered so far?A. 100B. 69C. 66D. 6585. “But we stuck with it”（in Paragraph 3）means ______.A. they felt discouragedB. they carried on with itC. they failed in their attemptD. they made some progressVII.

They can see things that are faraway, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to domuch reading ,they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactlythe right shape. They have whatis called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudybecause of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible tooperate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eyesees things from a slightlydifferent angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object our of one eye; then look at the sameobj ect out of your other eye.

高中英语阅读理解_100篇

阅读理解解题技巧阅读理解题是考查学生对活的语言材料的理解能力，即通过阅读材料获得信息的能力。

具体说来，阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是：（1）掌握所读材料的主旨大意，以及用以说明主旨大意的事实和细节；（2）既理解具体事实，也理解抽象的概念；（3）既理解字面意思，也理解深层含义，包括作者的态度、意图等；（4）既理解某句、某段的意义，也理解全篇的逻辑关系，并能根据文章进行推理和判断；（5）既能根据材料所提供的信息去理解，也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。

根据这几项能力测试的要求，试题中常采用如下几种题型：事实询问题、推理判断题、数据推算题、识图解意题和主旨大意题。

根据这一测试要求和题型设计，答题时可以采取如下解题技巧和对策。

1．首先解题时要充满自信。

由于平时有些同学对做阅读理解时存在一种畏惧心理，因此考试做题时心理就难免会产生紧张感，特别是阅读时再遇到几个生词就头脑发胀，从而使自己的思路更加模糊不清。

其实这是完全没有必要的，因为阅读中遇到几个生词或几个难以理解的句子是常有的事，也是正常现象。

因为按大纲要求，试卷中允许有不超过3%的生词，只要认真分析，仔细阅读，这些生词和句子很可能并不影响你的解题。

所以答题之前首先要有必胜的信心。

2．扫读全文，理解全文主旨大意。

拿到一篇文章，首先要快速扫读全文，虽为扫读，但不可漫不经心，阅读时也应聚精会神，力求可能多地获取材料信息，只是这次遇到生词和难句先不必去处理，不要因纠缠文中的个别生词和难句而影响了对全文的主旨大意的了解。

3．对症下药，各个击破。

了解全文的大概意思之后，再把短文的问题简单看一遍，弄懂题意，然后带着问题再去寻读全文。

这次阅读过程中要善于抓文章中的关键词句。

寻读也就是迅速的查找需要了解的信息，是为某些特定的问题而阅读，因此阅读时要有较强的针对性，对与问题有关的数据，词句等仔细阅读，认真理解，同时结合不同考查内容的题型，采取如下解题对策：（1）事实询问题：这类试题通常是以疑问词what，who，when，where，why，how等引起的特殊问句，就文章中某一词语、某一句子、某一段落或某一具体细节和事实进行提问。

高中英语阅读经典100篇附答案

高中英语经典阅读精选100篇附答案一、阅读理解（本大题共403小题，共806.0分）ACities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness (荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche (雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go—to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City—its present population is 762.1.What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A. Its business culture.B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position.D. Its favourable climate.2.What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.B. One out of five people got rich.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. Half of them died.3.What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A. They found the city too crowded.B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand the winter.D. They were short of food.4.What is the text mainly about?A. The rise and fall of a city.B. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.BI work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.。

V. Reading Comprehension (15%)AIt was 3.21 a. m. when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning. Except for the crackling （爆裂声）of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin, Long Island.With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each on through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, collapsed on the lawn.The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother's room. He found it impossible to wake her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious, and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and, as a fireman said later, "acted with all the self-control of a trained adult."On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground flo or?Grasping firmly a ball of string from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother's room. Tying one end of the string to her hand he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the ga rden.Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan :"The string will lead you to mother." Mrs. Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.71．Why did Glenn run downstairs first?A．He wanted to find out what was happening. B．He was worried about his mother's safety.C．He wanted to save his sister and brother.D．He went to see if his father had come back.72．Who called the fire brigade and ambulance service?A．Glenn. B．Glenn's father. C．Glenn's sister. D．Glenn's neighbor.73．What did Glenn do to protect himself?A．He put a wet cloth around his head.B．He threw water all over himself.C．He hid himself in the bathroom.D．He rushed out to the lawn.74．Glenn saved his family because __________.A．his father had taught him to do so on the phone B．he had learned something about first aidC．he had dealt with the emergency calmly and wisely D．he had followed his mother's instructionBThere are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear powe r (原子能).First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station.Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail, Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.Second, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes nonradioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buri ed under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers.Third, there may occur the danger of a leak (泄漏) or an explosion at the power s tation. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. However, it can happen.Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster (灾难) is extremely high.75. Which of the following if FALSE?A. It is possible that a leak or an explosion occurs at a power station.B. It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land.C. The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake.D. Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for many years.76. The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are.A. easyB. impossibleC. reasonableD. ineffective77. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A. The power station is a safe place.B. The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented.C. The general public are strongly against the nuclear program.D. By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry.78. What is this passage about?A. Uses of nuclear power.B. Dangers from nuclear power.C. Public anger at nuclear power.D. Accidents caused by nuclear power.CThere is one foreign product the Japanese are buying faster faster than o thers，and itspopularity has caused an uneasy feeling among many Japanese.That product is foreign words.Gairaigo-words that comefrom outside have been part of the Japanese language forcenturies. Mostly borrowed from English and Chiease.These ter ms are often changed into formsno longer understood by native speakers.But in the last few years the trickle(涓涓细流)of foreign words has become a flood，andpeople fear the increasing use of foreign words is making it hard for the Japanese tounderstand each other and could lead to many people forgetting the good qualities oftraditional(传统的) Japanese.“The popularity of forgign words is part of the Japanese interest in anything，”saysuniversity lecturer and writer Takashi Saito.“By using a foreign w ord you can make a subjectseem new，which makes it easier for the medias(媒体)to pick up.”“Experts(专家)often study abroad and use English terms when they speak with people intheir own fields. Those terms are then included in government white papers，”sai d MuturoKai,president of the National Language Research Institute.“Foreign words find their wayeasily into announcements made to the general public，when they should really be explained inJapanese.”Against the flow of new words，many Japanese are tur ning back to the study of their ownlanguage.Saito's Japanese to Be Read Aloud is one of many language books that are now flyingoff book sellers' shelves.“We were experting to sell the books to young people，” said the writer，“but it turnsout they are more popular with the older generation who seem uneasy about the future ofJapanese.”79. What advantages do foreign words have over traditional Japanese terms？A. The idea sexpressed in foreign words sound new.B. Foreign words are best suited for announce ments.C. Foreign words make new subject seasier to understand.D. The use of foreign words makes the media more popular.80.IntheopinionofTakashiSaito，Japanesepeople_____.A. are good at learning foreign languagesB. Are willing to learn about new thingsC. trust the mediaD. respect experts81. Which of the following plays an important part in the spread of foreign words？A. The media and govemment papersB. Best-selling Japanese textbooks.C. The interest of young Japenese.D. Foreign products and expe rts82. The book Japanese to Be read Aloud____.A. sells very well in JapanB. is supported by the governmentC. is questioned by the old generationD. causes misunderstanding among the readers.DPlanet HunterWhen Geoff Marcy was 14, his parents bought him a telescope. Every night, he would go onto the roof outside his window to see the wonders of the sky.“What excited me most was whether there were planets（行星）in other solar（太阳的）systems where life might exist, ”he says. “I decided to try to find planets orbiting（沿…轨道运行）other stars like our Sun.”And he did. “My fellow researcher, Paul Butler, and I found our first planet in 1995, ”Dr. Marcy says. “We worked for ten years without finding anything! But we stuck with i t, and our patience paid off. ”Since then, the two scientists have discovered 65 of the more than 100 planets found orbiting other stars. Dr. Marcy and Dr. Butler also spotted the first “family”of three planets. In June 2002 they announced another dis covery: a Jupiter-like（像木星一样的）planet orbiting star 55 Cancri.At first, the two researchers found only planets that orbit close to stars. Recently, the scientists found plane ts farther out. The planet orbiting 55 Cancri is a major breakthrough: it is the first sighting of a large gas planet about the same distance from the star as Jupiter is from the Sun.Why is this important? Scientists think that life on Earth may exist because of two special features（特征）in our solar system. The first is Jupiter.“Because it’s so big, Jupiter pulls comets and asteroids（小行星）, or they all come and hit the Earth. ”Dr. Marcy explains. “Without Jupiter, life on Earth would likely have been destroyed. ”A second feature is that Earth is a rocky planet where liquid water, which is necessary for life, can exist. Unlike gas planets, rocky planets like Earth have surfaces where water can gather in pools and seas, which may support life. A huge space exists between the Jupiter-like planet and two other planets that lie close to 55 Cancri. Is there an Earth-like planet in the space, too small for us to notice? If so, says Dr. Marcy, “We would have two striking similarities to our solar system: a Jupiter-like planet and an Earth-like planet. And there may be life! ”83. What can we learn about Dr. Marcy from the passage?A. He is fond of watching Jupiter.B. He is from a scientist family.C. He dislikes working with Paul Butler.D. He is interested in finding life in outer space.84. How many planets orbiting other stars have the two scientists discovered so far?A. 100B. 69C. 66D. 6585. “But we stuck with it”（in Paragraph 3）means ______.A. they felt discouragedB. they carried on with itC. they failed in their attemptD. they made some progressVII.

以下是店铺跟大家分享的高中的英语阅读材料以及翻译，希望大家喜欢!【Human Life a Poem 人生如诗】I think that, from a biological standpoint, human life almost reads like a poem. It has its own rhythm and beat, its internal cycles of growth and decay. It begins with innocent childhood, followed by awkward adolescence trying awkwardly to adapt itself to mature society, with its young passions and follies, its ideals and ambitions; then it reaches a manhood of intense activities, profiting from experience and learning more about society and human nature; at middle age, there is a slight easing of tension, a mellowing of character like the ripening of fruit or the mellowing of good wine, and the gradual acquiring of a more tolerant, more cynical and at the same time a kindlier view of life; then In the sunset of our life, the endocrine glands decrease their activity, and if we have a true philosophy of old age and have ordered our life pattern according to it, it is for us the age of peace and security and leisure and contentment; finally, life flickers out and one goes into eternal sleep, never to wake up again.One should be able to sense the beauty of this rhythm of life, to appreciate, as we do in grand symphonies, its main theme, its strains of conflict and the final resolution. The movements of these cycles are very much the same in a normal life, but the music must be provided by the individual himself. In some souls, the discordant note becomes harsher and harsher and finallyoverwhelms or submerges the main melody. Sometimes the discordant note gains so much power that the music can no longer go on, and the individual shoots himself with a pistol or jump into a river. But that is because his original leitmotif has been hopelessly over-showed through the lack of a good self-education. Otherwise the normal human life runs to its normal end in kind of dignified movement and procession. There are sometimes in many of us too many staccatos or impetuosos, and because the tempo is wrong, the music is not pleasing to the ear; we might have more of the grand rhythm and majestic tempo o the Ganges, flowing slowly and eternally into the sea.No one can say that life with childhood, manhood and old age is not a beautiful arrangement; the day has its morning, noon and sunset, and the year has its seasons, and it is good that it is so. There is no good or bad in life, except what is good according to its own season. And if we take this biological view of life and try to live according to the seasons, no one but a conceited fool or an impossible idealist can deny that human life can be lived like a poem. Shakespeare has expressed this idea more graphically in his passage about the seven stages of life, and a good many Chinese writers have said about the same thing. It is curious that Shakespeare was never very religious, or very much concerned with religion. I think this was his greatness; he took human life largely as it was, and intruded himself as little upon the general scheme of things as he did upon the characters of his plays. Shakespeare was like Nature itself, and that is the greatest compliment we can pay to a writer or thinker. He merely lived, observed life and went away.我以为，从生物学角度看，人的一生恰如诗歌。

Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs，its people are by now almost entirely an urban society Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业)，and most of the rest live in or around towns，small and large.Here the traditional picture is changing：every small town may still be very like other small towns，and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country，but most Americans do not live in small towns any more.Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(1arge cities with their suburbs、of more than a million people each—a larger proportion than in Germany or England，let alone France.The statistics(统计)of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day.As the rush to live out of town continues.rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses，so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment. 36.If now America has 250 million people.how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry? A.About 25 million. B.More than 25 million. C.Less than 25 million. D. Less than 225 million 37.Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in metropolitan areas? A.United States. B.Germany. C.France. D.England. 38.What’s the meaning of the word“metropolitan”in the middle of the passage? A .Of a large city with its suburbs. B.Of small and large towns. C.Of urban areas. D.Of rural areas. 39.According to the passage，what can we learn about small towns in the United States? A Most small towns become gradually crowded B.Small towns are still similar to each other. C.As the traditional picture is changing，towns are different. D .Small towns are turning into large cities 40.Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb? A.Because they are the same. B.Because the rush takes place too quickly C.Because the process is gradual. D.Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan。

If you weigh yourself, you will know how much gravity is pulling you. Since there is gravity, water runs down hill. When you throw a ball into the air, itfalls back down. Because of gravity, you do not fall off the earth as it whirls (旋转) around.Then, can we get away from the earth and go far out into space? Now you can do it, because spaceships have been invented. Then spaceship will go so fast that it can escape (逃出) the earth’s gravity and carry you into space.1. In this passage, the word “gravity” means.A. the pull of everything.B. the force of attraction(吸引) among objects.C. the force which attracts objects towards the centre of the earthD. the force which attracts the earth towards the sun.2. When you slip(滑) you always fall to the ground becauseA. the earth always turns round.B. the earth has gravityC. the earth’s gravity is greater than your weight.D. you are careless.3. Gravity is strong thatA. it can throw a ball into the air.B. it makes you jump only seven feet.C. it can let you fly away from the earth.D. it can keep everything on earth.4. Because of gravity,A. water flows everything.B. we can go everywhere by ship.C. water always flows downwards.D. fish can live in water.5. We can get away from the earth by spaceship becauseA. the spaceship goes very fast.B. the earth can’t pull the spaceship.C. the spaceship has a strong force.D. the spaceship can jump higher than other things.6、（1分） An expensive car speeding down the main street of a small town was soon caught up with by a young motorcycle policeman.

One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.

We are so used to this that it comes as a surprise to find that there may be some animals that do not age. Sea anemones(海葵) are an example. Some have been kept for nearly a century without showing any signs of lifelessness. Some kinds of sea w orms can even “grow backwards.” If kept in the dark and given nothing to eat, they get steadily smaller, They finally end as a ball of cells(细胞) looking rather like the egg from which they came. Under good conditions the ball will turn back to a worm and start growing again. One could probably keep them growing and un-growing again and again.1.

It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are. People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near—sighted. Then People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can seethings that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading ,they must get glasses, too. Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them. Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object our of one eye; then look at the sa me object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.1. We should take good care of our eyes .A. only when we can see wellB. only when we cannot see perfectlyC. even if we can see wellD. only when we realize how important our eyes are2. When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) , one is probably .A. near-sightedB. far-sightedC. astigmaticD. suffering from cataracts3. The underlined word suffer in the third paragraph probably means .A. experienceB. imagineC. feel painD. are affected with4. Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for .A. seeing at nightB. seeing objects far awayC. looking over a wide areaD. judging distances5. People who suffer from astigmatism have .A. one eye bigger than the otherB. eyes that are not exactly the right shapeC. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operationD. an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glasses13、（1分） Grandma was a wonderful story-teller, and she had a set of priceless, individually (独特地) tailored stories with which American grandparents of her day brought up children. There was the story of the little boys who had been taught complete, quick obedience (服从). One day when they were out on the grassy plain, their father shouted. “Fall down on your faces!” They did, and the terrible prairie(草原) fire swept over them and they weren’t hurt.

When the position and direction of currents are known, ships can use the forward movement of a current or stay away from currents that would carry them off their course. Benjamin Franklin was one of the first to use bottles in the study of currents. He wondered why British mall ships needed a week or two longer than U.S. ships needed in order to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Franklin thought the Gulf Stream (墨西哥湾流) might explain this difference. Franklin talked with captains of U.S. ships. He found that they knew each turn of the Gulf Stream. They used the current in every possible way. From his talks with the captains. Franklin made his first map of the Gulf Stream. Then he checked his map by using sealed (密封的) bottles. The map that he finally made is still used, with only a few changes, today.1.

Most of their work is done with the students. But the staff sees a lot of parents, too.“Parent meetings form a clear monthly pattern,” says Mildred Foreman, Guidance Directo r. “This pattern stays much the same from year to year. The busy months are October, March and May.” September starts rather slowly. Few parents come in, Most of these want to discuss the schedules (日程安排). October brings many behaviour (行为) problems. Some parents are called in. Others come by themselves. Things quiet down in November December is a quiet month. “It’s the holiday,” Ms Foreman says. “People want to come in, I know , but they decide to wait until after New Year’s Day.” Report cards go home just before Christmas holidays. Bad marks bring parents in as school reopens. This happens again in March, another report card month. May is always the year’s busiest month.

Except for the crackling （爆裂声）of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in thetwo-storey house at Baldwin, Long Island.With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each on through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, collapsed on the lawn.The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother's room. He found it impossible to wake her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious, and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and, as a fireman said later, "acted with all the self-control of a trained adult."On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?Grasping firmly a ball of string from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother's room. Tying one end of the string to her hand he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan :"The string will lead you to mother." Mrs. Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.71．Why did Glenn run downstairs first?A．He wanted to find out what was happening. B．He was worried about his mother's safety.C．He wanted to save his sister and brother. D．He went to see if his father had come back.72．Who called the fire brigade and ambulance service?A．Glenn. B．Glenn's father. C．Glenn's sister. D．Glenn's neighbor.73．What did Glenn do to protect himself?A．He put a wet cloth around his head. B．He threw water all over himself.C．He hid himself in the bathroom. D．He rushed out to the lawn.74．Glenn saved his family because __________.A．his father had taught him to do so on the phone B．he had learned something about first aidC．he had dealt with the emergency calmly and wisely D．he had followed his mother's instructionBThere are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power (原子能).First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station.Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail, Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.Second, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes nonradioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea. However, thesemethods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers.Third, there may occur the danger of a leak (泄漏) or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. However, it can happen.Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster (灾难) is extremely high.75. Which of the following if FALSE?A. It is possible that a leak or an explosion occurs at a power station.B. It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land.C. The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake.D. Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for many years.76. The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are .A. easyB. impossibleC. reasonableD. ineffective77. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A. The power station is a safe place.B. The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented.C. The general public are strongly against the nuclear progr am.D. By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry.78. What is this passage about?A. Uses of nuclear power.B. Dangers from nuclear power.C. Public anger at nuclear power.D. Accidents caused by nuclear power.CThere is one foreign product the Japanese are buying faster faster than others，and itspopularity has caused an uneasy feeling among many Japanese.That product is foreign words.Gairaigo-words that comefrom outside have been part of the Japanese language forcenturies. Mostly borrowed from English and Chiease.These terms are often changed into formsno longer understood by native speakers.But in the last few years the trickle(涓涓细流)of foreign words has become a flood，andpeople fear the increasing use of foreign words is making it hard for the Japanese tounderstand each other and could lead to many people forgetting the good qualities oftraditional(传统的) Japanese.“The popularity of forgign words is part of the Japanese interest in anything，”saysuniversity lecturer and writer Takashi Saito.“By using a foreign word you can make a subjectseem new，which makes it easier for the medias(媒体)to pick up.”“Experts(专家)often study abroad and use English terms when they speak with people intheir own fields. Those terms are then included in government white papers，”said MuturoKai,president of the National Language ResearchInstitute.“Foreign words find their wayeasily into announcements made to the general public，when they should really be explained inJapanese.”Against the flow of new words，many Japanese are turning back to the study of their ownlanguage.Saito's Japanese to Be Read Aloud is one of many language books that are now flyingoff book sellers' shelves.“We were experting to sell the books to young people，” said the writer，“but it turnsout they are more popular with the older generation who seem uneasy about the future ofJapanese.”79. What advantages do foreign words have over traditional Japanese terms？A. The idea sexpressed in foreign words sound new.B. Foreign words are best suited for announcements.C. Foreign words make new subject seasier to understand.D. The use of foreign words makes the media more popular.80.IntheopinionofTakashiSaito，Japanesepeople_____.A. are good at learning foreign languagesB. Are willing to learn about new thingsC. trust the mediaD. respect experts81. Which of the following plays an important part in the spread of foreign words？A. The media and govemment papersB. Best-selling Japanese textbooks.C. The interest of young Japenese.D. Foreign products and experts82. The book Japanese to Be read Aloud____.A. sells very well in JapanB. is supported by the governmentC. is questioned by the old generationD. causes misunderstanding among the readers.DPlanet HunterWhen Geoff Marcy was 14, his parents bought him a telescope. Every night, he would go onto the roof outside his window to see the wonders of the sky.“What excited m e most was whether there were planets （行星）in other solar（太阳的）systems where life might exist, ”he says. “I decided to try to find planets orbiting （沿…轨道运行）other stars like our Sun.”And he did. “My fellow researcher, Paul Butler, and I found our first pla net in 1995, ”Dr. Marcy says. “We worked for ten years without finding anything! But we stuck with it, and our patience paid off. ”Since then, the two scientists have discovered 65 of the more than 100 planets found orbiting other stars. Dr. Marcy and Dr. Butler also spotted the first “family”of three planets. In June 2002 they announced another discovery: a Jupiter-like（像木星一样的）planet orbiting star 55 Cancri.At first, the two researchers found only planets that orbit close to stars. Recently, the scientists found planets farther out. The planet orbiting 55 Cancri is a major breakthrough: it is thefirst sighting of a large gas planet about the same distance from the star as Jupiter is from the Sun.Why is this important? Scientists think that life on Earth may exist because of two special features（特征）in our solar system. The first is Jupiter.“Because it’s so big, Jupiter pulls comets and asteroids （小行星）, or they all come and hit the Earth. ”Dr. Marcy explains. “Without Jupiter, life on Earth would likely have been destroyed. ”A second feature is that Earth is a rocky planet where liquid water, which is necessary for life, can exist. Unlike gas planets, rocky planets like Earth have surfaces where water can gather in pools and seas, which may support life. A huge space exists between the Jupiter-like planet and two other planets that lie close to 55 Cancri. Is there an Earth-like planet in the space, too small for us to notice? If so, says Dr. Marcy, “We would have two striking similarities to our solar system: a Jupiter-like planet and an Earth-like planet. And there may be life! ”83. What can we learn about Dr. Marcy from the passage?A. He is fond of watching Jupiter.B. He is from a scientist family.C. He dislikes working with Paul Butler.D. He is interested in finding life in outer space.84. How many planets orbiting other stars have the two scientists discovered so far?A. 100B. 69C. 66D. 6585. “But we stuck with it”（in Paragraph 3）means ______.A. they felt discouragedB. they carried on with itC. they failed in their attemptD. they made some progress VII.
