英语阅读理解模拟试题及答案(四)Passage 16Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess （公爵夫人） found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o'clock stopped her gettinga sinking feelingas she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born.76. Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain？A）The Britons got expensive tea from India.B）Tea reached Britain from Holland.C）The Britons were the first people in Europe who drank tea.D）It was not until the 17th century that the Britons had tea.77.

英语阅读理解(教育文化)模拟试题含解析一、高中英语阅读理解教育文化类1．阅读理解Recently, people in the US education have got extremely worried because a new report has shown that American students have a maths problem.The 2015 Programme for International Student Assessment(评估)(PISA) shows maths scores in the US getting lower and no improvement in science or reading. PISA tests 15-year-olds from different countries and regions in their maths, science and reading skills. About 540,000 students from 72 countries and regions took part in the assessment in 2015.US scores in reading and science were about the same as three years ago, leaving Americans near the middle of the bigger group. But the situation in maths is much more worrying. The US average score was 470,below the OECD(经合组织) test average of 490,meaning the US was No.40 among the 72 countries and areas. It was 12 points lower than in 2012 and 18 points lower than in 2009. So, what is going on with American students' maths skills?One reason may be that the US does not teach maths in enough depth." Students are often good at answering the first part of a problem in the United States," said Andreas Schleicher, director of education and skills at OECD." But as soon as students have to go deeper and answer the more complicated part of a problem, they have difficulties." In comparison, many high-performing countries and regions in maths teach a lot less but focus in much greater depth, especially when you look at East Asia, Japan and Singapore, according to Schleicher.Another reason may be the fact that many people in the US are unwilling to travel to foreign countries to learn better teaching practices." One of our biggest challenges in the US is that the teachers are not going out and seeing what high-performing countries do differently," said Wendy Kopp, who started Teach for America ,in a news programme.（1）When it comes to the 2015 PISA results, people in the US education are more concerned about .A. the US average scoreB. the differences from the previous PISAC. American students' performance in mathsD. American students' situation in science and reading skills（2）What can we learn from the passage?A.American students are not interested in simple maths problems.B.American students are unwilling to go abroad for further study.C.American maths teachers envy high-performing countries better teaching skills.D.American maths teachers seldom teach students how to solve complicated problems.（3）What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To inform people of American students' 2015 PISA results.B.To analyse the causes of American students' problems with maths.C.To stress the importance of learning maths well to America students.D.To give American maths teachers some advice on how to teach maths.【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了2015年PISA评估结果显示美国学生的数学成绩较之以前有明显下降,进而分两方面阐述了造成这一结果的原因。

What is it about Americans and food? We love to eat, but we feel 1 about it afterward. We say we want only the best, but we strangely enjoy junk food. We’re 2 with health and weight loss but face an unprecedented epidemic of obesity(肥胖). Perhaps the 3 to this ambivalence(矛盾情结) lies in our history. The first Europeans came to this continent searching for new spices but went in vain. The first cash crop(经济作物) wasn’t eaten but smoked. Then there was Prohibition, intended to prohibit drinking but actually encouraging more 4 ways of doing it.The immigrant experience, too, has been one of inharmony. Do as Romans do means eating what “real Americans” eat, but our nation’s food has come to be 5 by imports—pizza, say, or hot dogs. And some of the country’s most tr easured cooking comes from people who arrived here in shackles.Perhaps it should come as no surprise then that food has been a medium for the nation’s defining struggles, whether at the Boston Tea Party or the sit ins at southern lunch counters.

英语四级阅读理解模拟试题附答案
英语四级阅读理解模拟试题附答案英语四级阅读理解模拟试题：【原文】There are two factors which determine an individuals intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably , some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual— the sort of environment in which he is brought up. If an individual is handicapped(不利) environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individuals intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster(抚养) homes. Peter was raised by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Marks I. Q. was 125, twenty-five points higherthan the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.英语四级阅读理解模拟试题：【题目】21. This selection can best be titled____________.A. Measuring Your IntelligenceB. Intelligence and EnvironmentC. The Case of Peter and MarkD. How the Brain Influences Intelligence22. The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that _______.A. human brains differ considerablyB. the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligenceC. environment is crucial in determining a persons intelligenceD. persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence23. According to the passage, the average I. Q. is_______.A. 85 .B. 100C. 110D. 12524. The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that_______.A. individuals with identical brains seldom test at the same levelB. an individuals intelligence is determined only by his environmentC. lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligenceD. changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain25. This passage suggests that an individuals I. Q. _______.A. can be predicted at birthB. stays the same throughout his lifeC. can be increased by educationD. is determined by his childhoo 英语四级阅读理解模拟试题：【答案】21. B 22. C 23. B 24. C 25.

英语六级阅读理解模拟题3篇Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A)， B)， C) and D)。
You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Acculturation, which begins at birth, is the process of teaching new generations of children the customs and values of the parents culture. How people treat newborns, for example, can be indicative of cultural values. In the United States it is not uncommon for parents to put a newborn in a separate room that belongs only to the child. This helps to preserve parents privacy and allows the child to get used to having his or her own room, which is seen as a first step toward personal independence. Americans traditionally have held independence and a closely related value, individualism, in high esteem. Parents try to instill theseprevailing values in their children. American English expresses these value preferences: children should cut the (umbilical) cord and are encouraged not to be tied to their mothers apron strings. In the process of their socialization children learn to look out for number one and to stand on their own two feet。

⾼考英语阅读理解模拟练习及答案⾼考英语阅读理解模拟练习及答案 多做英语阅读理解模拟题可帮助⼤家熟悉解题⽅法，为了帮助⼤家，⼩编分享了⼀些⾼考英语阅读理解题及答案，欢迎阅读! 英语阅读理解(1) Have you ever wondered why you sometimes take an almost immediate liking to a person you have just met? We often get the first impression of a people based on the color of a person’s skin or the manner in which he or she dressed. Meaning is conveyed not only by words or verbal languages but also by nonverbal communication systems, such as body behaviors. Nonverbal communication is important because we use the actions of others to learn about their affective emotional states .Our emotions are reflected in our posture, face, and eyes—be it fear, joy, anger, or sadness—so we can express them without ever saying a word .For this reason, most of us rely heavily on what we learn through our eyes. Nonverbal communication is significant in human interaction because it is usually responsible for the first impressions. More importantly, those first messages usually influence the perception(感知) of everything else that follows. Even how we select friends and sexual partners is grounded in first impressions with nonverbal communication. Nonverbal communication is important because it is culture-related. It is based on different beliefs, religions, values and customs in different cultures. When, where, how, and to whom people display his or her specific nonverbal behaviors is greatly affected by culture and context. Culture determines what the appropriate nonverbal behavior is. For example, feelings of friendship exist everywhere but their expression varies. It may be appropriate in some countries for man to embrace each other and for women to hold hands; in other countries these displays of affection may be shocking. Each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication. What is acceptable in one culture may be completely unacceptable in another. One culture may determine that snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable; another may consider this gesture rude. 1. What is the best title of the passage? A. Nonverbal communication and first impression B. Nonverbal communication is culture-related C. Nonverbal and verbal communication D. The importance of nonverbal communication 2. We can know a person’s feeling through our eyes because_________. A. we can see a person’s feeling on his face. B. a person’s emotions can be reflected through eyes. C. a person’s feeling can be reflected through his body languages D. we can see a person’s feeling through his posture 3. Which of the following statements is not True? A. Meaning can be conveyed both by words and body language. B. We can use nonverbal communication to learn about a person’s emotional states. C. We often get the first impression by what a person says. D. The first impression can affect what we will do in the following. 4. How many reasons are mentioned in the text to show nonverbal communication is important?A. 2B. 3C. 4D.5 5. What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A. we can use different ways to express friendship B. each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication C. snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable D. learning a country’s culture is very important. 【答案解析】 1.

考研英语阅读理解模拟题及答案
考研英语阅读理解模拟题及答案一、Passage 1Home Grown VegetablesGrowing your own vegetables at home has become increasingly popular in recent years. People enjoy the satisfaction of planting seeds, nurturing plants, and eventually harvesting their own vegetables.There are several benefits to growing your own vegetables. Firstly, it is a cost-effective way to obtain fresh produce. Instead of buying vegetables from the grocery store, which can be expensive, you can save money by growing your own. Additionally, homegrown vegetables are usually tastier than store-bought ones, as they are picked at the peak of ripeness and consumed shortly after harvesting. Moreover, growing your own vegetables allows you to control the use of pesticides and fertilizers, ensuring that your produce is healthier and free from potentially harmful chemicals.Starting a vegetable garden is relatively easy, even for beginners. Choose a sunny spot in your backyard or balcony and prepare the soil by removing any weeds and loosening it with a garden fork. Decide which vegetables you would like to grow and purchase high-quality seeds or seedlings from a reputable nursery. Follow the instructions on the seed packets or consult gardening websites for information on optimal planting times, spacing, and care instructions for each vegetable.Once you have planted your seeds or seedlings, it is important to water them regularly and provide adequate sunlight. Monitor the growth of yourplants and protect them from pests by using organic pest control methods or installing nets and fences around your garden.In a few weeks or months, depending on the vegetable, you will be able to harvest your homegrown vegetables. Pick them when they are fully ripe and enjoy the delicious taste and nutritional benefits of your hard work.In conclusion, growing your own vegetables not only saves money and guarantees freshness, but also gives you a sense of accomplishment and connection to nature. Why rely on the grocery store when you can cultivate your own produce and enjoy the rewards of a thriving vegetable garden?二、Passage 2Jazz Music: A Cultural TreasureJazz music is a unique and vibrant art form that has captivated audiences around the world for over a century. Originating in the African American communities of New Orleans in the late 19th century, jazz quickly spread and evolved, becoming a symbol of creativity, freedom, and cultural expression.One of the defining characteristics of jazz is improvisation. Unlike classical music, which is typically composed and performed as written, jazz musicians often create music on the spot, responding to the energy and interaction of the band. This improvisational aspect gives jazz its distinctive sound and encourages musicians to showcase their individuality and virtuosity.Another hallmark of jazz is its ability to blend different musical styles and genres. Jazz has incorporated elements of blues, ragtime, swing, Latin,and even classical music, resulting in a rich and diverse repertoire. Jazz musicians have the freedom to experiment with harmony, rhythm, and instrumentation, pushing the boundaries of traditional musical conventions.Jazz also played a crucial role in the fight against racial segregation and inequality. During the era of racial discrimination in the United States, jazz clubs and festivals provided spaces where African American and white musicians could collaborate and perform together, breaking down social barriers and promoting racial harmony. The influence of jazz on popular music cannot be overstated, as it paved the way for the acceptance and appreciation of African American artists in mainstream culture.Despite its historical significance and cultural impact, jazz faces challenges in the modern music landscape. With the rise of electronic and computer-generated music, the popularity of jazz has declined in recent years. However, jazz enthusiasts and musicians continue to champion this art form, organizing festivals, concerts, and educational programs to preserve and promote jazz music for future generations.In conclusion, jazz music is a cultural treasure that embodies creativity, freedom, and the power of collaboration. Its improvisational nature, fusion of styles, and contribution to social progress make it a truly unique and influential genre. Let us celebrate and support jazz, ensuring its legacy as a vibrant and cherished part of our cultural heritage.。

阅读理解模拟练习题（二）Unit 4Passage OneThe human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn't know what's happening.But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. （第1.2题。
解答第2题是因为这是对前面话的转折，首先因为有了神经系统的存在，我们才能感觉世界，但同时我们也为自己的感觉付出代价，那就是痛。
因此比较合适的答案是B，如果我们说事物有利有弊一般。
）The history of torture (折磨) is based on the human body being open to pain.But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir (苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle fight through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.（第3题。

高考英语阅读理解模拟题(有详解)
高考英语阅读理解模拟题(有详解)AMr. Smith is well known in Washington because of his many social blunders. He always likes to attend the various so-cial functions because he wants to expand his circle of friends. Whenever he is invited, he goes, unless he is ill.Recently he received an invitation to a fashionable ban-quet. Although he did not know the hostess, he accepted the invitation. He was secretly very pleased, because he felt that his reputation as a desirable guest was growing.When he arrived at the banquet hall, he found that about one hundred people had been invited. He began to move a-round the hall. He spoke to other guests whether he knew them or not. He soon realized that he had never met any of the other people present, although they seemed to know each other.At dinner he was seated beside a very dignified woman. The woman tried to be friendly even though she had never met Mr. Smith before. She spoke politely whenever he spoke to her. Between the first and the second course of the meal, she, turned to Mr. Smith and said, “Do you see that gray-haired man at the end of the table? T he one with glasses.”“Ah, yes. Who is he?”“He’s the Secretary of the Interior!” she replied.Mr. Smith said, “So that’s the secretary of the Interior! I’ m afraid that I find very little to admire about him, although he is the Secretary.”The woman stiffened and did not reply. Mr. Smith continued in spite of her coldness. “I really can’t see how he received his appointment unless he is perhaps a relative of the President.”“It hardly matters whether you like the Secretary or not,” she said. “He was chosen because the President thought he was the man for the job. If he does the job well, you should have no complaint.”“That’s just it,” persisted Mr. Smith. “No one does the things he does, unless he is a complete fool!”“Sir!” said the woman in all her dignity. “Do you know who I am?” “No,” replied Mr. Smith.“I am the Secretary’s wife,” she said coldly. Mr. Smith was shocked, but he went on in spite of his embarrassment. “Madam, do you know who I am?”“No, I don’t,” the woman replied.“Thank goodness!” exclaimed Mr. Smith, as he quickly left the table.1. Why is Mr. Smith well known in Washington?A. He’s the Secretary of the Interior.B. He has more friends than other people.C. He always makes foolish mistakes on social occasions.D. He likes to go to all kinds of parties.2. At dinner he was seated beside a very dignified woman. The underlined part means ________.A. beautifulB. seriousC. nobleD. kind-hearted3. When Mr. Smith learned that the woman didn’t know who he was, he felt ________.A. shockedB. worriedC. embarrassedD. relievedBAdvertising can be a service to the customer. This is true when advertisements give reliable infor-mation about the goods advertised. Such information is needed if the customer is to make a sensible choice when he buys. It is useful in that it lets him know of the kinds of goods in the shops. Printed advertisements do this job best. Customers can collect them and compare them. They can be taken along to shops and their claims can be checked against the actual goods in the shops.However, some advertisements are not very useful to the customer. Instead of helping him to sat-isfy his real needs, they set out to make him want things. They set out to create a need. These adver-tisements are cleverly done. The people who produce them understand our weaknesses. They set out to make us believe that what they advertise will make us cleverer, prettier and more handsome, if only we use it. Actually, it is our money they are after and we should be on guard.Some advertisements mislead customers by using part of the truth to suggest something false, and it is skillfully made to give that idea to the careless reader, listener or viewer.At its best advertising can be useful to the customer. At its worst it can mislead him. Many newspapers check on the goods for which the advertisements made claims. Most newspapers are very careful about the small advertisements, which try to sell goods directly to the readers by post. Many newspapers print information about this on their small advertisement pages. Advertising has become a very big business, and good firms in it do all they can to make sure it is conducted with some attention to truth. This is a help to the customer. But thebest way is for customers to be on the lookout.4. It can be inferred from the passage that advertisements can be useful if they ________.A. how a long list of the goods advertisedB. give true information about goodsC. tell customers what to buyD. appear on TV and in newspapers at the same time5. Advertisements that play on our weaknesses make us ________.A. desire things we do not needB. purchase the goods we needC. attracted by themD. become loyal reader, listener or viewer6. according to the text, which of the following is TRUE?A. All advertising firms do not care to tell the truth about the goods they advertise.B. All advertising firms only care to make money, as advertising is a big business.C. Most advertising firms make sure that advertisements do not purposely cheat.D. The advertised goods are often of poor quality.7. The underlined word "They" refers to ________.A. GoodsB. CustomersC. ShopsD. AdvertisementsCGu Changwei was the first Chinese cinematographer to be nominated (提名) for an Oscar, and he is regarded by Zhang Yimou as the best cinematographer in China. Gu was behind the camera for many of Zhang Yimou’s famous films including the one that rocketed Zhang to fame: "Red Sorghum (高粱)". And now this master of the visual has taken on his first directing role with the film "Peacock". So Gu Changwei has come out from behind the camera into the spotlight (聚光灯).Gu Changwei is very serious about his directing "Peacock". To get the authentic atmosphere, Gu took his film crew to t he city of Anyang in central China’s Henan province where the story took place, to shoot the film. He chose all new actors because he didn’t want "stars" appeal to weaken the power of the story, and he also had his actors trained in the local dialect. For this film Gu has been able to get out from behind the camera to manage every aspect of the film, and to realize his own ideals in movie-making."Peacock" is about the life of an average family in a small town in Henan province in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Gu chose this story for his first movie because he grew up during this same pe-riod and it struck a chord with him.“Peacock” wrapped up production in June, 2004. It’s aimed at the foreign film market and will be entered in February’s Berlin Film F estival, and released in China at the same time. But at the end of last October, Gu took “Peacock” to his Alma Mater, the Beijing Film Academy, one of the most famous film colleges in China, to hold a preview. The film was warmly received by both teachers and students.8. The underlined word “cinematographer” refers to a person who ________.A. has been nominated for an OscarB. uses a camera to shoot filmsC. directs first-class filmsD. arranges for cinema shows9. Gu didn’t employ “stars” in his film because ________.A. tars usually stick to their own acting stylesB. the stars may not be able to speak the local dialectC. the stars may share the audience’s attention with the storyD. it was not easy for him, a fresh hand, to invite stars to join him10. Gu chose such a story for his first movie because ________.A. he was born in the early 1970sB. he grew up in Henan provinceC. he was popular in Henan provinceD. the story had something to do with his own experience11. From the passage we can learn that "Peacock"________.A. is the film for which Gu is likely to win an Oscar prizeB. has already become popular both at home and abroadC. has its production started last summerD. will be publicly shown in spring, 200512. Please choose a proper title for this passage.A. rom behind the camera into the spotlightB. Chinese cinematographer to be nominated for OscarC. New faces to appear in “Peacock”D. "Peacock" to enter foreign film marketDHow the iron of tomorrow can change your lifestyle today.(the first Self Cleaning Iron)General Electric introduces the iron of tomorrow.

Children remem-ber and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly.How large an allowance is appropriate? Experts say there is not right amount. Actual amounts differ from region to re-gion, and from family to family.To set an appropriate allowance for your child, work up a weekly budget. Allow for entertainment expenditures such as movies and snacks. Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. "If you make the child responsible for these ‘ ills’," says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, " he or she will learn to budget for nec-essary expenditures."Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. If you can, keep your child’s allowance in line with that of his friends. A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peers’ can feel left out.It can be tough, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. When Brooke Ste-phens was ten and growing up in Jacksonville, her mother gave her $5 a week, $1.75 of which was for bus fare and lunch." If yo u lose your money," Brooke’s mother told her, "you walk home."One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store, then she called home for a ride. " Mom made me walk home," recalls Stephens, now a financial planner in Brook-lyn. " At first I was angry. But I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson. "Experts advise that an allowance should not be tied directly to a child’s daily chores. Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family. You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home, which can develop his or her initiative.17. Which of the following is the possible title of the passage?A. How to develop a child’s initiati ve.B. How to work up an amount of pocket money.C. How to teach a child to save money.D. How to teach a child about money.18. It can be inferred from the passage that if a child is given an allowance, he or she may ________.A. spend all the money very soonB. be spoiled and finally ruinedC. feel responsible and careful about moneyD. lost the money and can not return home19. In Paragraph 4, the words “his peers” refer to ________.A. his parentsB. his teachersC. his financial expertsD. his friends20. The author implies in the passage that ________.A. paying children for their housework is no goodB. a child’s initiative can be developed if he or she is paid for all the houseworkC. children may feel lost and lonely if they have no pocket moneyD. children may learn to put aside some money if they are given a great amount of pocket money【答案与简析】(A)本文记述了一个在华盛顿因犯错而有名的Smith先生在一次宴会上，由于出言不逊而自讨没趣的故事。

(英语)高二英语阅读理解(人生百味)模拟试题含解析
（英语）高二英语阅读理解(人生百味)模拟试题含解析一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1．阅读理解A few years back I worked in a university building that also housed a department full of psychologists, all of whom seemed to see us as perfect guinea pigs(豚鼠) for their latest theories. If an eager graduate student showed up in my office bearing desserts and asked me to pick one, I'd cast a careful glance and ask "Why?" before grabbing the apple pie.So one day, when someone from the Psychology Department posted instructions in the bathroom persuading all of us to "Think about five things for which you're grateful every day for a week!" my response was frankly doubtful. I did the math. Five things a day for seven days is a lot of brainpower to expend without so much as the promise of an apple pie.I wandered into the office of Heidi Zetzer, the director of our school's Psychological Services Clinic. "What's with the gratitude thing?" I asked. You don't ask an academic question－even a simple one unless you're prepared for a long answer. Heidi came alive, and I sat down. That's when I first heard the term "positive psychology". The gratitude thing, as I had called it, was but one small and simple element of the practice. "Kind of like training the brain to focus on joy," my friend Heidi explained. "It's only a week," she urged. "Try it." I did. And guess what? It worked. Every day for a week, I found five distinct things for which I was thankful. They had to be different every day. I couldn't get away with just being grateful for my wonderful husband. But I could, suggested Collie Conoley, another positive psychologist, express my gratitude for specific aspects of a certain person each day. He's a great cook. He always puts our family first.Life will never be perfect. I still see new stories that annoy me. The traffic in my city is maddening. I wish I could speed up my recovery. But with just one simple exercise, I'm rediscovering the peace of that old saying: accepting the things I can't change, working without complaint to change what I can, and being wise enough to know the difference.And all it took was a little gratitude.（1）What's the author's attitude toward the student with desserts?A. Cautious.B. Respectful.C. Indifferent.D. Supportive.（2）Why was the author doubtful about the instructions?A. Because she thought it wasn't worth the effort.B. Because she didn't like expressing thanks often.C. Because she needed to ask her friend to do it first.D. Because she could do five things every day easily.（3）What does Collie Conoley suggest the author should do?A. Be grateful to her wonderful husband.B. Be thankful for things but not people.C. Be a great cook and put her family first.D. Be specific about what she's thankful for.（4）What's the best title for the text?A. Don't Be Bothered by Small ThingsB. We Can Change Everything If We WantC. Practicing Gratitude Changed My LifeD. Being Grateful to One Good Person【答案】（1）A（2）A（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，在一个星期的时间里，作者坚持每天都能发现五件她特别感激的事情，而且每天都有所不同。

大学英语四级阅读理解模拟试题及答案
大学英语四级阅读理解模拟试题及答案大学英语四级阅读理解模拟试题及答案「篇一」1. C 细节题。
因为Leadville可以为Tabor带来巨富。
这一点不是Leadville得名的原因，因为在文章第二段中，讲到这一点时，提及三个原因：A.因为Tabor成为当地的居民代表人物，B.因为在Leadville有丰富的铅的储藏量。
D.因为Leadville是因为Tabor重要而起的名。
2. D 词汇题。
第二段中grubstake的词义与D所述内容是相同的，即“供给探矿者资金，衣物，食品以及其他物品”。
3. A 细节题。
Tabor第一次真正发财是他为两名矿工提供资助，为此他获得他们矿资源三分之一的股份。
见文章第三段4-9行内容：两名开矿者从Tabor那儿借走价值17美元的物品，作为回报，Tabor获得他们矿资源三分之一股份。
于是两位开矿者在一座山旁的不毛之地开始挖掘，九天之后，发现了银的富矿，于是Tabor又将两人的.股份全买下，这样，银矿属于Tabor一个人所有，这个矿就是后来著名的“匹兹堡”矿。
Tabor用17美元的投资换来了130万美元的收获。
4. B 推断题。
由原文可知泰勃的财产来源是有一定偶然性的，但是毕竟也是基于他开创“grubstake”模式，因为A、D都不对，C更是没有根据，因为他还没有娶第二位夫人这一切就发生了。
分析泰勃的做法，会得出B选项所示的结论。
5. B 推断题。
如果本文是一篇文章的第一部分，那么在文章的第二部分将介绍谁呢?可以从文章第一句分析出来，在Leadville的黄金年代，其多彩的特点当中，Tabor及其第二任妻子Elizabeth McCourt是值得大书特书的，接着，文章都在讲述有关H.A.W.Tabor发家致富的历史，如先买下匹兹堡矿，后又买下Matchless矿，最后成为市长，代理州长，等等，所以涉及到的全是男主人公，因此下边再讲的话，应成为女主人公即Elizabeth McCourt的天地了，她是Tabor的第二任妻子。

【英语】英语阅读理解模拟试题一、阅读理解1．阅读理解Science fiction is a popular kind of writing, and many people think of Jules Verne（凡尔纳） as the father of science fiction. He was born in France in 1828. His father wanted him to become a lawyer, but from his early 20s Verne decided to become a writer. At first he wrote plays for the theater. Then, in 1863, he wrote a story called Five Weeks in a Balloon. The success of this book encouraged him to write more stories such as A Journey to the Center of the Earth（1864） and From the Earth to the Moon（1865）.In the 19th century, many people were interested in science and inventions. Jules Verne wrote about scientific subjects in his stories and, as a result, they were very popular. Verne's writing included many predictions（预言）for the 20th century and many of them came true. He described space flight, movies, and air conditioning, a long time before they appeared. These books were very successful and they made Verne rich.Jules Verne's books have been the subjects for many movies. 20, 000 Leagues under the Sea was a successful movie for Walt Disney.
