高一英语上学期阅读理解20篇（一）一As a student, you must be excited to know something about American school students. In fact, just like in China, in the United States, high school is usually divided into two periods, the first two or three years are called “junior high school” and the other is “senior high school”.In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free education until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system (制度), American children have little difficulty in going to senior high school.American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activities are organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us students in China, American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And those who come out with low marks at the end of a school year and who should repeat a grade are often allowed to go on to the next grade.In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors. So children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban (郊区的) high schools, where most students want to go to university and the atmosphere (氛围) is quite different.1. Activities outside of the classroom refer to __________.A. what the students do after class in schoolB. what the students learn in extra classesC. what a music group or a sports team doD. what the teachers do after class for the students2.

The writer of the passage tells us the truth that ________.A. the atmosphere in high schools is quite different from that in a universityB. none of the schools in cities are good for learningC. suburban high schools are good places for learningD. all the American students want to go to university二Americans can travel almost anywhere they choose. But to protect its people, the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go. These places are unfriendly countries or countries at war. There, the traveller might not be safe. These countries are listed in a small book called a passport. This passport is a government request(要求) for the safety of its travelling people. It is also a government' s pledge (保证) that the people will obey the rules of the host country. To receive a passport from the government, a traveller must prove(证明) that he is an American citizen. An American can not go abroad without a passport. Only some close countries such as Canada and Mexico do not ask for passports. Inside the passport is the traveller's picture. Children travelling with their parents are included(包含) in one parent's book. Thousands of people from the United States visit other countries every year. An American traveller might carry plane tickets, money, clothing and many other things, but the most important that he carries inanother country is his passport.1. A passport is not needed when an American goes to .A. foreign countriesB. dangerous areasC. Canada or MexicoD. foreign countries2. From the passage we can see thatA. children can' t travel to foreign countriesB. Americans like travellingC. a traveller is not safe in most countriesD. Americans like to travel to close countries3. Which statement does the passage lead you to believe?A. People should take care of their passports.B. It is not important to have a passport to travel.C. Children are never included in a passport.D. When you are in another country, money is more important than a passport.4. Which of the following statements is true?A.When Americans are travelling in another country, they must obey the rules of the country.B. The American government sometimes allow its people to travel to dangerous places.C. A passport is needed wherever an American is travelling.D.

The first period begins right after you are born and lasts until you are about six months old. The second period starts when you reach the age of 13. First, girls grow faster than boys, then boys catch up and grow faster and stronger.Your head stops growing earlier than the rest of you. By the time you are ten, your head is nearly full size. The bones of your arms and legs are short when you are a baby. When you reach the age of nine, your bones starts to grow rapidly, and will keep growing until you reach your full height (高度).Besides growing taller, your body changes in other ways. When a boy is about 13 years old, his voice begins to get deeper and he may begin to grow a beard (胡子). At about the age of 13, a girl’s body begins to function (运行) like a woman’s. Some important changes are taking place, changes that makes it possible for boys and girls, when they are older, to become fathers and mothers.1.

I do not want to bring my friends home becauseshe does not act like any of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home andstudy. I wish I could live in another family that was normal, but it will be 5 years before I am 18.What am I supposed to do until then?Prisoner of a CrazyHouseDear 7th Grader,I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feelings about her may change asyou get older and mature.While it is true that your mother’s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the factthat you want to stay separate from her doings is notable and very smart. It shows that you are awinner, not a loser. I am guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is agood thing. So, keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits.At the same time, try to get the best grades and join clubs and school activities.

That wasa typical (典型的) British Sunday in the 1960s. But things now could not be more different.Some British sociologists recently studied the typical British Sunday. They found that people getup later and do less housework than they did 40 years ago. They are far more likely to be outshopping or enjoying themselves than cooking Sunday lunch.Sunday mornings were busy 40 years ago. Most women caught up on their weekly housework andcooked a nice lunch. They seldom allowed themselves any “leisure” until afternoon, after the dishes were cleaned. Then there would be another rush to the table between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pmfor tea.But now, Britons can have brunch (早午餐) at the restaurant. Fewer people bother to cookthemselves.“You only have two free days a week. You don’t want to have to waste one because there isnothing to do but watch boring TV,” said Elizabeth Biggs, 25, a producer in London.“On Saturday you are recovering from the week,” Biggs added. “Sundays are the last chance for the weekend — you want to get as much as you can out of the day before you have to go back towork.”In the past, British women usually did their shopping during the week, while the husband was atwork. “Now men seem to do that as much as women,” said Jonathan Gershuny, a professor whotook part in the study.Men also do more housework now on Sundays. Back in the 1960s, men were far more likely tospend Sundays out of the house — at the pub or playing football — before lunch.1. Many Britons have brunch at the restaurant because _______.A. They have no time to cook at home.B. They get up too late.C. They won’t bother to cook themselves.D. They will go to church.2. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Britons used to go to church on Sundays.B. Britons usually had a big lunch at home.C. British women usually did their shopping during the week in the past.D. British men did little housework at home in the past.3. The text mainly tells us ________.A. what Britons did on SundaysB. why Britons go shopping on SundaysC. how Britons spend their holidaysD. the changes of the ways the Britons spend their Sundays4. What can we infer from the passage?A. Men do more housework on Sundays.B. Sundays in Britain might be very boring in the past.C. No people go to church on Sundays now.D.

For some time, the Internet seems like a forest, filled with dangers for children. But forests have wonders as well as dangers, and with good guides, some education and a few precautions(预防措施) ,the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated(航行). "Children have to be on-line. If we tell our children they can' t have chances to the Internet, we' re cutting them off from their future," said an expert.Most children have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding lots ofinteresting Internet sites and they can also go to places where you might not want them to go.There are such engines made just for children. A certain software (软件) contains only sites thathave been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit chances would be to use what is knownBut this can't be wholly safe, and the best thing parents can do isas a "content screener(过滤器)”．to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Anotherway is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.A few other tips:1) Don' t put the PC in a child's room, but keep it in a place where mum or dad can keep an eye onthings. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.2) Ask your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like addressand phone number.3) Tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send themanything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.1. What is the main subject about the passage?A. Fighting against children on-line.B. Internet in America.C. American children going on-line.D. Children's web sites.2. According to the passage, we can infer thatA. the writer doesn't encourage children to surf the InternetB. the Internet has a lot of harmful sitesC. the Internet is a forest full of dangersD. a child who is on-line is in danger3. What does the passage tell us most?A. EducationB. Good guidesC. PrecautionsD.

The fires are so massive that smoke has traveled all the way to the East Coast, prompting health warnings in Connecticut and Maryland and turning the skies above New York City hazy and red. And from Germany to China, extreme flooding has caused death and destruction. At least180 people in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands were killed last week when two months' worth of rain fell in two days, causing floods and mudslides. In the central Chinese province of Henan, 14 people died after riders were trapped on a subway amid catastrophic flooding after torrential rains.These terrifying scenes from across the globe have long been predicted by scientists studying our warming planet. Higher temperatures would lead to more heatwaves and droughts in some areas that would fuel bigger, more frequent wildfires. In other areas the warmer climate would trap moisture in the atmosphere, leading to heavier rainfall during storms.Climate change is making normal weather events-heatwaves, droughts, rainstorms and hurricanes more extreme and more devastating to communities unprepared for the attack. What's most frightening, however, is that extremes are happening faster than many predicted. As the last few weeks has shown, there's no time to waste. The summer has already given a terrible glimpse of the future if we don't change course now.( A )1. What does the underlined word “broiled" mean in Paragraph 2?A.

Researchers might now know why Delta has been so "successful": People infected with it produce far more viruses than those infected with the original version ofSARS-CoV-2,making it very easy to spread.According to current estimates, the Delta variant could be more than twice as transmissible as the original strain ofSARS-CoV-2. To find out why, epidemiologist Jing Lu at the Guangdong Próvincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Guangzhou, China, and his colleagues tracked 62 people who were some of the first people in mainland China to become infected with the Delta strain.The team tested study participants' "viral load”-a measure of the density of viral particles in the body-every day throughout the course of infection to see how it changed over time.Researchers then compared participants' infection patterns with those of 63 people who contracted the original SARS-CoV-2 strain in 2020.The researchers report that the virus was first detectable in people with the Delta variant four days after exposure, compared with an average of six days among people with the original strain,suggesting that Delta reproduces much faster. Individuals infected with Delta also had viral loads up to 1,260 times higher than those in people infected with the original strain.The combination of a large number of viruses and a short incubation period makes sense as an explanation for Delta's heightened transmissibility, says epidemiologist BenjamiCowling at the University of Hong Kong. The sheer amount of virus in the respiratory tract means that super spreading events are likely to infect even more people, and that people might begin spreading the virus earlier after they become infected.And the short incubation period makes contact tracing more difficult in countries such as China,which systematically tracks each infected person's contacts and requires them to quarantine.“Putting it all together, Delta's really difficult to stop," Cowling says.( D )1. What is the purpose of epidemiologist Jing Lu's research?A. To find out whether Delta is a variant of SARS-CoV-2.B. To determine how SARS-CoV-2 progresses.C. To find out the solution to ending COVID-19.D. To find out what causes Delta to spread faster.( A )2. How does Jing Lu's team conduct their research?A.By comparing the participants' infection patterns.B. By monitoring the participants' course of infection.C. By measuring the participants' exposure time to Delta.D. By analyzing the data collected from previous studies.( D )3.Which of the following does NOT make for the fast spread of Delta?A. Delta's high viral loads.B. Delta's rapid reproduction ability.C. Delta's short incubation period.D. Delta's ability to escape the immune system.( D )4.What is Cowling's attitude toward stopping Delta?A.Indifferent.B. Ambiguous.C. Optimistic.D. Cautious.阅读理解(4)本篇源自：The EconomistA toothpaste tube, squeezed and twisted out of shape in a vain attempt to extract its remaining contents, haunts many a bathroom. But not, perhaps, for much longer. Colgate-Palmolive,an American consumer-goods giant, has taken up an invention by a pair of experts in supper-slippery surfaces to produce toothpaste tubes that promise to deliver every last scrap of their contents.In 2012 Kripa Varanasi, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and DaveSmith,his PhD student, set up a company called LiquiGlide to commercialize their work on making liquids flow more easily through pipes and out of containers. What caught many people's imagination at the time was a demonstration of how this could be used to empty a ketchup bottle without shaking it violently.The new toothpaste, called Elixir, comes in three varieties: a formula for whitening teeth,one for gum and enamel（牙龈和牙釉质）care and a “detox” version which，it is claimed，removes impurities from the mouth. All are packaged in plastic tubes that can be emptied with ease. Elixir has gone on sale in Europe, though no decision has yet been made about whether it will be sold elsewhere.To produce their slippery pipes and containers, Professor Varanasi and Dr. Smith first impose a microscopically textured pattern on them and then apply a suitably formulated liquid. This fills the gaps in the texture, creating a surface across which gooey substances slide easily. Any risk of contamination（污染）can be eliminated by making the liquid in question from materials also employed in the product.Besides pleasing customers who like to get their money's worth, the new,slippery toothpaste tubes should help with recycling. Existing tubes are rarely recycled, not only because they have residue left inside them but also because they are usuallymade from a laminate of plastic and aluminum foil. Mixed materials of this sort are hard to recycle, and therefore end up being dumped in landfills. Despite their success with toothpaste tubes, Professor Varanasi and Dr.Smith have not given up on food containers.( D )1.What is special about the new toothpaste tube?A.Its twisted shape.B.Its delivery service.C. Its remaining contents.D.Its slippery pipes and containers.( D )2. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 mean?unching their products onto the market.B. Setting up LiquiGlide to take up an invention.C. Squeezing and shaking a toothpaste tube.D. Making liquids slide easily on slippery surfaces.( B )3.What can be inferred from the passage?A. The new toothpaste will be sold around the world soon.B. A suitably formulated liquid is vital in producing the slippery pipes.C. Existing tubes are easy to recycle, but hard to empty.D. Professor Varanasi and Dr. Smith find it impossible to apply the invention to food containers.阅读理解(5)本篇源自：Science NewsA new chemical analysis has revealed an ugly truth about beauty products: Many beauty products may contain highly persistent, potentially harmful “forever chemicals” called PFAS.PFAS，short for per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances（多氟烷基化合物），include thousands of chemicals that are so sturdy that they can stay in the body for years and the environment for centuries. Those compounds have been linked to high cholesterol,thyroid diseases and other problems. “There is no known good PFAS,” says chemist and physicist Graham Peaslee of the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.In the first large screening of makeup for PFAS in the United States and Canada, Peasleeand colleagues found that 52 percent of over 200 tested products had high fluorine（氟）concentrations，suggesting the presence of PFAS. The researchers report online on June 15 in Environmental Science & Technology Letters.The potential health risks of PFAS in makeup are not yet clear, Peaslee says. But besides people ingesting or absorbing PFAS when wearing makeup, makeup washed down could get into drinking water.Peaslee's team measured the amount of fluorine, a key component of PFAS, in 231 cosmetics.63 percent of foundations，55 percent of lip products and 82 percent of waterproof mascara（睫毛膏）contained high leveIs of fluorine. Long-lasting or waterproof products were especially likely to contain lots of fluorine. That makes sense,since PFAS are water-resistant.In addition to posing their own potential health risks, these compounds can break down in the body into other PFAS, such as perfluorooctanoic acid, which has been linked to cancers and low birth weights.( A)1.The underlined word “sturdy” in Paragraph 2 probably means“_”.A.stubbornB.harmfulC.beneficialD.flexible( B )2. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. PFAS are the main reason for health problems such as high cholesterol.B. More than 100 tested products are high in fluorine concentrations.C. Scientist have figured out the potential health risks of PFAS.D. PFAS are harmful to health because it can not be broken down.( C )3.Where is this text most likely from?A.A chemistry textbook.B. A cosmetic advertisement.C.A science website.D. A traveling journal.阅读理解(6)本篇源自：The New York TimesIn 1946，a 23-year-old army veteran（退伍军人）named John Goodenough headed to the University of Chicago with a dream of studying physics. When he arrived, a professor warned him that he was already too old to succeed in the field. He ignored the professor's advice and today, at 94, has just got the tech industry excited about his blazing creativity. He and his team at the University of Texas at Austin filed a patent application on a new kind of battery that,if it works as promised, would be so cheap, lightweight, and safe that it would revolutionize electric cars and kill off petroleum-fueled vehicles.We tend to assume that creativity declines with age. On the contrary, there's plenty of evidence to suggest that late blooming is not uncommon. John P. Walsh, one of the professors,joked that the Patent Office should give a “senior discount” because “there's clear evidence that people with seniority are making important contributions to invention". A study of Nobel Physics winners found that, since the 1980s, they have made their discoveries, on average, at age 50.The study also found that the peak of creativity for Nobel winners is getting higher every year.When talking about his late-life success, Dr. Goodenough said, “Some of us are turtles;we crawl and struggle along, and we haven't maybe figured it out by the time we're 30.But the turtles have to keep on walking." This crawl through life can be advantageous, he pointed out,particularly if you wander around through different fields, picking up clues as you go along. Dr.Goodenough started in physics and hopped sideways into chemistry and materials science,while also keeping his eye on the social and political trends that could drive a green economy.“You have to draw ona fair amount of experience in order to be able to put ideas together,” he said. EVERROTIONHe also credits his faith for keeping him focused on his mission to defeat pollution and ditch（摆脱）petroleum（石油）.“I＇m grateful for the doors that have been opened to me indifferent periods of my life,” he said. He believes the glass battery was just another example of the happy accidents that have come his way: “At just the right moment when I was looking for something, it walker into the door.”( B )1.Dr.Goodenough excited people withA.his switching his majorsB. his newly invented batteryC.his obtaining a patentD.his ignoring the professor's warning( C )2. What can we know about John P. Walsh mentioned in Paragraph 2?A.He excels at telling jokes.B.He received a senior discount recently.C.He believes age is not a barrier to creativity.D.He co-invented the battery with Dr. Goodenough.( C )3.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To inform us of a new invention.B. To analyze the advantages of being old.C. To point out age is no barrier to innovation.D.To predict the age of future Nobel Prize winners.阅读理解(7)本篇源自：CricketLong ago，in the unhappy village of Chelm，there lived an old sage（智者）.All the villagers were unhappy because they thought their neighbors had better lives than them. So, day and night, the envious townsfolk would call upon their sage to complain. Before the sage could even raise a spoonful of breakfast to his lips, the baker would burst into his house for a morning's complaint.“They say my bread isn't crispy! Tell me, sage, how I can make crispy bread when all I've got is a hundred-year-old oven that's really an icebox! The emperor's heart is warmer than my oven! And how can I afford a new oven when nobody buys my bread? You see the pickle I'm in? A schoolteacher I should have been. Schoolteachers don't have such headaches.”No sooner had the baker stomped out of the door than the butcher marched in. “My customers do nothing but complain! This chicken's too fat! This meat's too tough! Be a bookkeeper, my dear mother once told me. But did I listen? No. Now look at this pickle I'm in! "And after the butcher complained, the tailor, the shoemaker, and the milkman complained...It was more than a person could stand. Something had to be done. Early one brisk fall morning, the sage marched to the village square, where he posted a huge sign that read: All citizens of Chelm will gather here at noon. Bring a big greenpickle.When everybody arrived, the sage said, “Imagine that everything you are is in your pickle.Your wisdom and your foolishness are in your pickle. Your blessings and your curses are in your pickle. Your talents and your flaws are in your pickle. If you don't like your pickle, no big deal: Pick someone else's. Go ahead and choose."And, with that pronouncement, all the citizens now had the overwhelming task of deciding whose pickle they wanted. The baker's eye immediately fell on the schoolteacher's. The schoolteacher's eye shot over to the tailor's. Every eye examined every pickle in town.To this day, it isn't clear who chose first. Some say the baker, some the milkman, but one thing is absolutely certain: When it was over, the townspeople had taken back their very own pickles.Since that day, whenever a villager approached the sage to complain, though not many of the town folk did, the sage would simply say, “It's your pickle; you picked it, and that would be the end of that."( A )1.What can we infer according to the baker's complaint?A. The oven doesn't function well.B.The townsfolk are too picky.C.He has hurt the emperor's heart.D. Schoolteachers are more welcome.( A )2.Which words can be used to describe the sage?A.Patient and wise.B. Generous and modest.C.Envious and brilliant.D.Impatient and timid.( B )3.Which of the following sayings might the sage agree with?A. Pride hurts, modesty benefits.B. Don't blame destiny, and don't blame the others.C.Behind bad luck comes good luck.D.All that glitters is not gold.( C )4.Which is the best title for the text?A.Turn to a sageB. Decide to be happyC. Pick a pickleD. Choose a career阅读理解(8)本篇源自：Scientific AmericanMindfulness may indeed have psychological benefits. Earlier this year, researches revealed that mindfulness-based interventions had benefits for a number of health outcomes, including stress, anxiety and depression. Although mindfulness has its merits, psychological research has also revealed that in some circumstances it's important to be mindless. Everyday examples range from riding a bike to choppingcucumbers to brushing your teeth.Research has also revealed that paying too much attention to what you're doing can have damaging effects, particularly when you perform well-practiced skills. In fact, this is one reason why some experts appear to “choke under pressure”: They think too much about the mechanics of the task at hand.In a classic study, cognitive scientist Sian Beilock and her colleagues had skilled golfers attempt to sink putts（击球入洞）under different experimental conditions. In one condition，the golfers were simply instructed to pay attention to the swing of their club and say “stop”when they finished their swing. In another condition, they were instructed to listen for a target sound while ignoring other noises and say the word “tone”when they heard the target sound.Counter-intuitively, the skilled golfers performed substantially worse when they focused on their swing than when they paid attention to irrelevant sounds. The effect of paying attention to their swing was so damaging that the golfers actually did better when they were warming up before the experiment began.More recently, psychologist Yannick Balk and his colleagues had golfers try different interventions designed to alleviate the effects of performance pressure. The researchers induced performance pressure by videotaping the participants, telling them that their score sheets would be posted publicly at the clubhouse and encouraging great performance with prizes. Without an intervention, the golfers performed significantly worse under pressure. Yet participants who were encouraged to think about something else-specifically,a song they knew by heart-improved when the stakes were high. It is worth cautioning that these results should be replicated in larger samples and across different contexts.Nevertheless, the important message from this research is that focusing too carefully on the execution of well-practiced motor sequences can cause mistakes. Of course, we should not resign ourselves to going through life on autopilot, missing opportunities t make deeper connections with ourselves, one another and our environment. But there are situations where we should let automaticity take over. The next time you ride a bike, don't overthink it.( B )1. Mindfulness is significant when you are.A. brushing your teethB. suffering from depressionpleting your daily routineD. performing well-practiced skills( C )2. What does the classic study prove?A.What benefits mindlessness can bring.B. How mindlessness works in a competition.C.Whether mindfulness can have damaging effects.D. Why mindfulness can boost athletic performance.( B )3. According to the results of Yannick Balk's study, we'd betterA. be absent-minded in Math classB. listen to the music while joggingC. multitask while learning EnglishD. pay close attention while cutting vegetables阅读理解(9)本篇源自：National Geographic TravelerPick-your-own farms are set for a post-lockdown boom this summer, as people look to support local businesses and spend more time outdoors.Here are four of our favorites.Parkside Farm,EnfieldJuicy blackberries, and strawberries are the stars of the show at this pick-your-own place on the northern edge of London. One key selling point is the “table-top" strawberry-growing system, which means plants are grown in places at waistheight-no more bending down in the dirt to pick your berries. Park side is also one of the few farms accessible without a car,as long as you don't mind a walk-it's 25 minutes from Gordon Hill station.Craigie's Farm, ScotlandJust outside Edinburgh, Craigie's Farm is bursting with produce including cherries, peas,broad beans and, perhaps surprisingly, sunflowers.

There are activities for children too, including a Nature Detective Trail involving encounters with sheep and goats.Hewitts Farm,KentThis family-run farm in Kent offers everything from spinach to apples and blackberries during its pick-your-own season, which runs from June to October(for Halloween pumpkins). There's also a shop selling farm-grown and local produce, as well as free tractor rides for youngsters on Sundays during the summer.Bellis Brothers Farm, WrexhamThis farm in North Wales started growing strawberries back in 1860 and has operated as a pick-your-own since 1967. More fruits have been added since then, but it's still mostly known for its strawberries.

And the result was somehow more popular than Brandon Walsh walking down a hallway at West Beverly Hills High School. "Itused to be kid TV, or adult TV with teenage elements to it," says Julie Plec, co-creator of TheVampire Diaries. "My first memory of teen TV was seeing a commercial for Beverly Hills,90210." Nowadays, she continues, "teen TV is important because it's new.”Maintaining that newness is the big challenge for a television producer that relies on capturing the attention of a constantly changing class of viewers. As networks began to understand the power of adolescent stories(and audiences), moreteen-centered shows started to appear and evolve.With the launches of Gossip Girl in 2007 and Pretty Little Liars in 2010, suddenly teen shows weren't just about love triangles. They needed more, like a mystery, like Riverdale and Elite putting high schoolers in the middle of unpredictable scenarios. “Along came the more hooky（逃学）kind of shows，”says Everwood creator Greg Berlanti. “Everything needed a high-concept package around it.” Often that concept would be supernatural-a trend that can be traced back through The Vampire Diaries and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, among others. Today that theme is bigger than ever thanks to fantasy epics like Netflix's Shadow and Bone.What does the future hold for teen TV? Whatever comes next, “authenticity is always the key,” says Berlanti. “They have to be truthful." And wherever there is an authentic teen story,there＇s one thing that we can guarantee will come with it：hormones（荷尔蒙）.Lots of hormones.

To focus only on a fixed group of teens.B.To change the target viewers constantly.C.

That way, I'm sure I'll get half the questions right."The next day Fred came cheerfully into the examination room. He sat tossing a coin for half an hour as he marked down his answers. Then he left, half an hour before the rest of us.The next day, he saw the chemistry professor in the corridor (走廊). "Oh, good," he said. "Have you got the result of the test?

Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagullsare very fond of locusts, but birds can't easily catch locusts because locusts change their colours together withthe change of the colour of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the colour much like the barksof trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is spreading, its enemies cannot find it, and it quickly swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.221w1.

Hughie Erskine was in love. The girl he loved was Laura Merton, the daughter of a retired army officer. They were the best-looking couple in London, and had not a penny between them. Her father was very fond of Hughie, but would not hear of any engagement.“Come to me, my boy, when you have got ten thousand pounds of your own, and we will see about it,” he used to say; and Hughie looked very miserable in those days.One morning he went to see a great friend of his, Alan Trevor, who was a painter. When he came into the studio he found Trevor putting the finishing touches to a wonderful life-size picture of a beggar-man. The beggar himself was standing on a platform in a corner of the room. He was a dried up old man with a lined face and a sad expression. Over his shoulder was thrown a rough brown coat, all torn and full of holes. His thick boots were old and mended, and with one hand he leaned on a rough stick, while with the other he held out his ancient hat for money.“Poor old fellow!” said Hughie. “How miserable he looks!”At that moment a servant came in and told Trevor that a man wanted to speak to him. Trevor went out.The old beggar-man sat down to rest for a moment. He looked so miserable that Hughie pitied him, and felt in his pockets to see what money he had. All he could find was a pound and some pennies. “Poor old fellow,” he thought to himself, “he wants it more than I do, but I shan’t have much money myself for a week or two”; and he walked across the r oom and slipped the pound into the beggar’s hand.The old man jumped, and a faint smile passed across his old lips. “Thank you, sir,” he said, “thank you.”That night Trevor told Hughie that the old “beggar” was Baron Hausberg, one of the richest men in Europe, who had asked him a month before to paint him as a beggar. He also said that he had told the old man all about the lovely Laura and the ten thousand pounds.The next morning, as he was at breakfast, an old gentleman brought Hughie a letter from Baron Hausberg. On the envelope was written, “A wedding present to Hughie Erskine and Laura Merton, from an old beggar”, and inside was a cheque for ten thousand pounds.1.

Hughie Erskine married Laura MertonB. Hughie Erskine didn’t marry Laura MertonC. Mr. Merton still didn’t agree to the marriageD. Hughie married the girl because he was good-looking5. We can learn from the text that .A. One should be good-lookingB. One should be poorC. One should be richD. One should be tender-hearted（二）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant (怀孕的)woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear thestory again and again.Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children. Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere ( 干预)unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression.The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not sufferfrom depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did ter when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression.52.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babiesA. The environment.B. Mother#39;s sensitivity.C. Their peers (同龄人)D. Education before birth.53.What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies heard the storiesA. To prove that babies can learn before they are born.B. To prove that babies can learn on the first day they are born.C. To show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babies.D. To indicate early education has a deep effect on the babies#39; language skills.54.Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skillsA. The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children.B. The children of women who did not suffer from depression.C. The children of depressed but caring mothers.D. Children with high communication abilities.55.What is the main idea of the passageA. Scientific findings about how babies develop before birth.B. Scientific findings about how time has an effect on babies#39; intelligence.C. A study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are rice or six months old.D. Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babies.答案解析：【答案】52.C53.A54.A55.Dhere are some strange driving laws in different countries.完形填空答案here are some strange driving laws in different countries.CountriesLawsVietnamIf you’re in Vietnam without a Vietnamese driver’s license, you risk a prison sentence of up to three years.RussiaIn Moscow, if your car is dirty enough to draw dust art, you will be fined about 2,000 rubles (about US $55).

One day, his mother asked him to take some food and medicine to his sick grandmother.Little Red Riding Hood happily agreed and set off on his journey. As he walked through the forest, he met a wolf. The wolf was very hungry and wanted to eat Little Red Riding Hood. But Little Red Riding Hood was wearing a red hood and the wolf couldn't see his face. So the wolf asked him where he was going.Little Red Riding Hood told the wolf that he was going to see his grandmother and give her the food and medicine. The wolf quickly thought of a plan to capture Little Red Riding Hood and his grandmother.He followed Little Red Riding Hood to his grandmother's house and waited outside. When Little Red Riding Hood came out of the house,the wolf jumped out and captured him. The wolf then went inside the house and ate Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother.After that, he put on the grandmother's clothes and waited for Little Red Riding Hood to wake up. When Little Red Riding Hood finally woke up, he was very surprised to see the wolf standing over him. The wolf pretended to be Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother and asked him why he had taken so long to get there.Little Red Riding Hood explained that he had met a wolf on the way who had asked him where he was going. The "grandmother" became angry and said that he should never talk to strangers. She then asked him if he had brought her the food and medicine.Little Red Riding Hood quickly realized that the woman in front of him was not his grandmother. He jumped up and tried to escape, but the wolf chased after him and caught him. Just as the wolf was about to eat him, a group of hunters arrived and scared off the wolf. They saved Little Red Riding Hood and took him back to his mother.From then on, Little Red Riding Hood learned a valuable lesson: never trust strangers or go anywhere alone.。

虾对市爱抚阳光实验学校课标高一英语阅读精选51-60篇Passage 51If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memoryworks in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, and few of us know that it is just his own fault.Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.218w1. The main reason for one's poor memory is that ______.A. his father or mother may have a poor memoryB. he does not use his arms or legs for some timeC. his memory is not often usedD. he can't read or write2. If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, _______.A. you can't use them any moreB. they will become strongerC. they will become weak and won't become strong until you use them againD. they will become weak but they slowly become strong again3. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs.B. Your memory like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice.C. Don't learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory.D. A good memory comes from more practice.4. Some people can't read or write, but they usually have better memories, because_______.A. they have saved much troubleB. they have saved much time to remember thingsC. they have to use their memories all the timeD. they can't write everything in a little notebook5. Give the best titlefor this passage.A. Don't Stop Using Your Arms Or LegsB. How To Have A Good MemoryC. Strong Arms And Good MemoriesD.

However, fish do have ears inside their bodies, near the brain, and they hear very well with them. Some fish have been taught to recognize the difference between sounds better than some human beings do.Many underwater animals make noises only by chance while they are doing something else. Other sounds are real communications of a simple sort, telling one fish of the presenceand direction of another. A few noises may be warning messages or discovery of food, etc. The earliest scientific report on fish sounds referred to one of these.A new field in science is learning to recognize and use underwater birds and other land creatures by their calls. But this method is a greater challenge than bird-watching, for many of the animals of the sea cannot be followed in any other known way. Their voices cry for attention. Yet we still have too little knowledge about many of the call makers which will some day be made known more fully. It is as though the great oceans were for daring man to invadethem and to learn the secrets of the place from which his forefathers came so long ago.208w1. After reading the passage, we can conclude that _______.A. many fish often make meaningless noisesB. sound cannot pass through some fish bodiesC. sound waves can easily be felt by fish bodiesD. some fish can easily understand some land creatures' calls2. Recognizing underwater animals _______.A. is totally different from recognizing land creatures by their callsB. is more difficult than recognizing land creatures by their callsC. will change people's knowledge of fishD. is more or less a battle3. One of the earliest scientific reports on fish sounds was about ______.A. noises made occasionally by underwater animalsB. some sort of communication between fishC. the difference between soundsD. what sort of fish the call maker was4. From the last sentence, we can learn that_______.A. the human beings have invaded the oceans for longB. more secrets of the great oceans are to be found outC. only very brave people can make use of the great oceanD. people are fighting each other to become the masters of the great oceans词汇扩展① presence n. 存在② invade v. 涌入Passage 53If you are like most people, your intelligenceis different from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A well-known scientist, Ellsworth Huntington(1876－1947), concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climatesthat climate and temperature have an obvious effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to belowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factorsthat bring about great changes in all nature. Fall is the next best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacationROM thinking!191w 1. Huntington based his conclusion on _______.A. records of changes in his own intelligenceB. work with peoples in different climatesC. records of temperature changesD. all of the above2. Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have_______.A. a great effect on everyone's intelligenceB. effect on most people's intelligenceC. effect on only a few people's intelligenceD. no effect on people's intelligence3.

The best seasons for thinking seem to be _______.A. spring and fallB. winter and summerC. summer and springD. fall and winter5. According to the selection, vacation from thinking should be taken _______.A. several times throughout the yearB. during spring and fallC. during the summerD. as seldom as possible词汇扩展① intelligence n. 智力② climate n. 气候③ abilities n. 能力④ tend to be 往往是⑤ factor n. 因素⑥ vacation n. 假期Passage 54Even if you are a good high-jumper, you can jump only about seven feet off the ground. You can not jump any higher because the earth pulls you hard. The pull of the earth is called gravity.You can easily find out the pull of the earth. If you weigh yourself, you will know how much gravity is pulling you.Since there is gravity, water runs downhill. When you throw a ball into the air, it falls back down. Because of gravity you do not fall off the earth as it whirlsaround.Then can we get a way from the earth and go far out into space? Now you can do it, because spaceships have been invented. The spaceship will go fast. It can escape the earth's gravity and carry you into space.135w1. In this passage, the word "gravity" means _______.A. the force of attraction among objectsB. the force which attractsthe earth towards the sunC. the force which attracts objects towards the centre of the earthD. the pull of everything 2. When you slipon something, you _______ .A. sometimes fall down to groundB. always fall down to the groundC. never fall down to the groundD. go up into the air3. Gravity is so strong that _______.A. it makes you jump only seven feetB. it makes you go up into the airC. it can keep everything on earthD. it can throw a ball into the air 词汇扩展① whirl v. 旋转② attract v. 吸引③ slip vi. 滑倒Passage 55Waves are beautiful to look at, but they can destroy ships at sea, as well as houses and buildings near the shore. What causes waves? Most waves are caused by winds blowing over the surface of the water. The heat of the earth causes the air to rise and the winds to blow. The winds blow across the sea, pushing little waves into bigger and bigger ones.The size of a wave depends on how strong the wind is. In a small bay big waves will never build up. But at sea the wind can build up giant powerful waves.A rule says that the height of a wave (in metres) will usually be no more than one-tenth of the wind's speed(in kilometers). In other words, when the wind is blowing at 120 kilometres per hour, most waves will be about twelve metres. Of course, some waves are reported the largestmeasured waves in history. One rose in the Pacific Ocean to a height of thirty-four metres.167w1. Waves are _______.A. beautiful to look at and never harmfulB. sometimes dangerous though nice to look atC. always helpful to usD. never seen near to the sea shore2. In a small bay big waves will never build up because _______.A. the wind is not strongB. the wind doesn't blow longC. it has so little waterD. there are a lot of ships3. From the passage we know it is a rule that _______.A. the higher the wind's speed is, the higher the waves areB. the wind's speed has nothing to do with the height of a waveC. the wind that blows at low speed can produce high wavesD. the height of combined waves will usually be no more than one-tenth of the wind's speed4. Giant waves may be formed by _______.A. one big wave aloneB. several big waves joined togetherC. a few little wavesD. waves in a small bayPassage 56Many of the world's pollution problems have been caused by the crowding of large groups of people into cities. Supply for the needs of the people leads to further pollution by industry. If the rapid increase of world population in countries continues at the present rate, there may be much greater harm to human beings. Some scientists speak of the increase in numbers of people as "population pollution".About 2000 years ago, the world population was probably about 250 million. It reached a billion in 1850. By 1930 the population was two billion. It is now over five billion. It is expected to be seven billion by the year 2000. If the population continues to grow at the same rate, there will be 25 billion people in the world a hundred years from now. Man has been using the earth's resources more and more rapidly over the past years. Some of them are almost used up. Now many people believe that man's greatest problem is how to control the growth of the population. The material supplies in the world will far from enough to support the human population, in time to come, if the present rate of increase continues. Already there is overcrowding in many cities and starvationin some countries. Should man's population keep on growing so rapidly as before? Many people believe that human survivalin the future depends on the answer to this question.237w1. The rapid increase in population is considered to be ________.A. the increase of resourcesB. population pollutionC. the development of mankindD. the present rate2. The world population will be_______ by the year 2000.A. 7 billionB. 250 millionC. 25 billionD. 5 billion3. It is very important for us _________.A. to use the materials in the worldB. to move into citiesC. to control the growth of our populationD. to support the human population4. If the present rate of increase continues, ________.A. the world is going to endB. the earth won't be able to support the growing population in the futureC. pollution has nothing to do with the rapidly increasing populationD. there would be two hundred billion in the world a hundred years from now5. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. In 1850 the world population reached a billion.B. Man must fight a battle against population pollution.C. The world's population is increasing with years.D. All of the earth's resources are gone now.词汇扩展① resource n. 资源② starvation n. 饥饿③ human survival 人类生存Passage 57From a plane we can see the fields, cities, mountains or seas below. If we go into space, we see more and more of the earth. People and man-made satellites have been sent out into space to look at the earth carefully and people have learnt more about the earth in the last few years. The sea looks very beautiful when the sun is shining on it. But it can be very terrible when there is a strong wind.The sea is very big. It nearly covers three quarters of the earth. The sea is also very deep in some places. There is one place and at that place the sea is about 11 kilometres deep. The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometres high. If that mountain was put into the sea at that place, there would be still 2 kilometres of water above it!In most parts of the sea, there are many kinds of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. There are also a lot of small living things, and lots of fishes live by eating them. The sea can be very cold. When people go down, the sea becomes colder and colder. Only some men can go down into the deep sea. But, in 1970, five women scientists lived in the deep sea for fourteen days.231w1. This passage is _________.A. a short storyB. for science readingC. a piece of newsD. a report2. The sea covers about ________ of the earth.A. B. C. D.3. ________ are not mentioned in this passage.A. FishesB. PlantsC. IslandsD. Living things4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. The sea is usually beautiful when the sun is shining.B. The sea is always very terrible when the wind blows hard.C. The highest mountain is in the deepest place of the sea.D. The deeper the people go into the sea, the colder they will feel.5. The last sentence "But, in 1970, five women scientists lived in the deep sea for fourteen days. " means that _______.A. women wanted to live in the deep sea for a long timeB. women could go deeper into the sea than menC. women liked living in the deep sea better than menD. women could do the same work as menPassage 58Which is the best way to learn a language? We should remember that we all learned our own language well when we were children. If we could learn a second language in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what small children do. They listen to what people say and they try to imitate what they hear. They talk and think in the language all the time, and they learn it quickly.It is important to remember that we learn our own language by hearing people speak it, not by seeing what they write. We imitate what we hear. In school though you learn all the new words through the ears, you can read them, spell them and write them later.125w1. A baby usually learns to speak by _______.A. learning new wordsB. imitating what it hearsC. talkingD. thinking2. It is _______ to read a foreign language than to speak it.A. easierB. happierC. more difficultD. more interesting3.

After you have read this article, you should _______ your way of learning English.A. masterB. graspC. improveD. read5. You should learn a foreign language in the way that you learned_______.A. your native language when you were youngB. your mother tongue in schoolC. a second language in schoolD. new words when you were a child Passage 59Computers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of situations in everyday life. It is thought that we won't have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.Let us look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We will not need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized books will be used more and more.Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go into stores and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers will not change these two habits.251w1. The title for this passage is _________.A. Computers Will Replace Shops and BooksB. Computers Are the FutureC. Computers Will Do Everything for ManD. How Computers Change Our Habits2. In Paragraph 1, it is thought people will use computers for _________.A. playing games, shopping and making telephone callsB. making telephone calls, having meals and seeing filmsC. seeing films, buying food and going for holidaysD. playing games, making telephone calls and seeing the doctor3.

Paragraph 4 tells us _________.A. about the old and new ways of shopping and communicatingB. the Internet may change our habitsC. about computerized booksD. about future uses of computersPassage 60We are all familiar with telephones. Using the telephone we can speak to friends in another street, in another town, or thousands of kilometers overseas.The telephone which you will use before long will be very modern. It will be a videophone, a phone which can send and receive pictures as well as sound. With a videophoneyou can not only hear the person you are talking to, but also see him. And he sees you, too. It makes the telephone call much more like a real visit and often eliminatesthe need to travel. Using videophone people may hold a meeting to discuss a particular subject. Each man in the meeting sits in his own city. Busy lines will not be a problem. Because electronic exchangers can store calls when lines are busy and put them through automatically when the line is free again.146w1. The reason why we call a videophone a modern telephone is that________.A. we can speak to our friends over the seaB. we can speak to our friends in the streetC. it has more advantages than an ordinary telephoneD. it is well-known for its visual feature2. Using a videophone, we can __________.A. have a real visit at our friends'B. send and receive picturesC. send and receive pictures and soundD. sit together and have a meeting to discuss problems3.

The poor ant almost exhausted was still bravely doing her best when a dove saw her. Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade of grass, which supported her like a raft, and thus the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man come near. He was walking along barefooted with a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the dove, he wished to kill it.
