阅读理解专练(一) 人物与故事(限时20分钟)A(2018·安徽江淮十校联考)It was dawn of March 21, 2018.Gary Messina was on his morning run along New York City's East River.Suddenly something caught his eye —a large 60yearold man balancing on the fourfoothigh fence that guarded the path from the water.As Messina got closer to the scene, the man took a step forward and slipped into the dark river below.When Messina reached nearer, the man was struggling in the water, clearly unable to swim.Other joggers also heard the man's cry.David Blauzvern and John Green dropped their phones and keys on land and jumped in.“People had called the police, but it was unclear when they'd get there，”says Green.“We just reacted.”Messina joined them in the river.Just as the jumper was losing strength, Blauzvern took hold of him.The pair were about 30 yards from the seawall when Messina and Green caught up to him.They seized the man, with Blauzvern supporting his back and Messina and Green holding him up from either side.As the men made their way toward the concrete seawall that stretched for blocks in each direction, Blauzvern had an awful realization: there was no way out of the river.By now, a crowd had gathered on land.“A rescue boat is on its way，”someone yelled to them.Swimming forward was getting tougher by the minute.The jumper, who was six foot two and weighed around 260 pounds, was heavy in his rescuers' arms.After ten minutes, they managed to get to the river's edge.“I've never been so out of breath，”says Blauzvern.Fifteen minutes after the men had jumped into the river, the twoman rescue boat appeared.But because it couldn't risk getting too close to the seawall, the men had to swim out to it.“I was completely out of energy at this point，”says Blauzvern.The men in the water pushed the jumper while the men in the boat pulled him up and, finally, to safety.The man they had saved was taken to the hospital for evaluation (评估)．Details on his condition have not been released.As for the rescuers, each of them was at work by 10：30 a．m.“I was a bit late，”admits Blauzvern, smiling.“But I had a goodexcuse.”语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了一场路人勇救落水者的故事。

初中新课标分类话题英语阅读训练
初中新课标分类话题英语阅读训练Studying new topics in the middle school curriculum can be both challenging and rewarding. It requires students to develop critical thinking skills and adapt to new materials that may be different from what they are used to. However, it also provides an opportunity for students to broaden their knowledge and explore new areas of interest. Therefore, reading practice plays a crucial role in helping students grasp these new concepts and topics.中学课程中学习新课题既具有挑战性，也有回报感。
这要求学生培养批判性思维能力，并适应可能与他们所熟悉的材料不同的新内容。
然而，这也为学生们提供了扩展知识和探索新领域的机会。
因此，阅读练习在帮助学生掌握这些新概念和主题方面起着至关重要的作用。
Reading not only enhances language skills but also helps students develop their creativity and imagination. Through reading, students can be exposed to different perspectives, cultures, and ideas that may not be readily available in their daily lives. This exposure can broaden their horizons and inspire them to think outside the box. Additionally, reading can improve students' vocabulary, grammar,and comprehension, which are essential for understanding and analyzing complex topics in the middle school curriculum.阅读不仅提升语言技能，还有助于学生发展他们的创造力和想象力。
2023届阅读理解话题分类专练：人际关系(含解析)
2023届阅读理解话题分类专练:人际关系（共4题）一、阅读理解题（共4题）1.Small talk means those seemingly meaningless conversations you have dozens of times a day. Maybeyou're waiting for the elevator. Or in a line at the bank. It all seems pretty trivial (琐碎的). Idle chatter about traffic doesn't do much more than fill the air with empty words that are quickly forgotten. .Pat Oliver, assistant professor on arts, says that, "Left unchecked, small talk can be an invasion (入侵).It's so powerful. It does something to you." "Every morning after spending an hour and a half on the freeway I start the day with small talk with my secretary," Oliver says, "If I don't make small connection with another person, I can't work."As a rule, you're either trying to force something into your life, or you're using conversation as an invisible force field to keep them out. You can be wanting to connect with another person, and small talk is your introduction to more meaningful conversation.The way people use small talk is usually determined by where they happen to be at the time .Nobody knows anyone and there's no reason to start a conversation, but invariably (不变地), someone does. "Making conversation in such peaceful social settings", according to Oliver, "can confirm your territory (领地). It's a way of feeling liked and accepted."The topics of small talk don't matter. . It's non-threatening talk in a threatening situation.However the rules change quickly when you're with lots of people doing lots of talking. Let's say you're ata party. Now it's time to use small talk as a way of making others feel more comfortable around you, soyou don't look silly standing by the food table alone all night.(1)A．What causes it?B．Who is good at it?C．Take the elevator, for instance.D．But you should know that small talk actually has a big place in our lives.E．Learning to make small talk can help to build your confidence and develop your social skills.F．In fact, you don't want anything more complicated (复杂的) than the weather or the traffic.(2)A．What causes it?B．Who is good at it?C．Take the elevator, for instance.D．But you should know that small talk actually has a big place in our lives.E．Learning to make small talk can help to build your confidence and develop your social skills.F．In fact, you don't want anything more complicated (复杂的) than the weather or the traffic.(3)A．What causes it?B．Who is good at it?C．Take the elevator, for instance.D．But you should know that small talk actually has a big place in our lives.E．Learning to make small talk can help to build your confidence and develop your social skills.F．In fact, you don't want anything more complicated (复杂的) than the weather or the traffic. (4)A．What causes it?B．Who is good at it?C．Take the elevator, for instance.D．But you should know that small talk actually has a big place in our lives.E．Learning to make small talk can help to build your confidence and develop your social skills.F．In fact, you don't want anything more complicated (复杂的) than the weather or the traffic.2.We've all been there: those times you need to argue your point of view to someone who you know disagree with you. You immediately go to your keyboard and start to type out that 280-character tweet, the Facebook reply, or a paragraphs-long email. Surely the reason, logic, and strong power of your written words will convince whoever it is who disagreed with you to see your point of view. But new research suggests a different idea.That research was conducted by Juliana Schroeder, assistant professor of University of California, Berkeley, and her colleagues. In Schroeder's study of almost 300 people, participants were asked to watch, listen, and read arguments about subjects they agreed or disagreed with. They were asked to judge the character of the communicator and the quality of the argument. Schroeder's team found that the participants who watched or listened to the communicator were less dismissive (抵触的) of their claims than when they read that communicator's same argument.The idea for her study came from a newspaper article about a politician. One of us read a speech that was printed in a newspaper from a politician with whom he strongly disagreed. The next week, he heard the exact same speech playing on a radio station. He was shocked by how different his reaction was toward the politician when he read the speech compared to when he heard it. When he read the statement, the politician seemed idiotic, but when he heard it spoken, the politician actually sounded reasonable.So in the workplace, speaking to someone in person often involves nothing more than walking a few doors down to their office. And that's exactly what you should do if you need to convince that boss or colleague of why your blue print for the company or project is the right one.Only as a last way should you try to communicate with someone who you disagree with over social media. Twitter's limited text allowance and social media users' short attention make arguing your point an uphill battle.(1) What's the result of the research?A．Written words are more logical and reasonable.B．People prefer to communicate with key board.C．When reading an argument, the participants were less dismissive than hearing it.D．Oral, not written, communication works better.(2) Why is the politician mentioned in paragraph 3?A．To introduce the topic for discussion.B．To summarize the previous paragraphs.C．To explain why Schroeder conducted the research.D．To introduce the politician's speech.(3) What does the underlined word "idiotic" in paragraph 3 mean?A．Wise.B．Practical.C．Silly.D．Special.(4) What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A．To persuade your boss, you need to walk to his office and leave a message.B．It's difficult to fully explain your points due to social media's limitation.C．Arguing over social media is more convenient than speaking in person.D．Communicating with others over social media is encouraged.3.When milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5 year old boy, I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically (魔术般) appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn't freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today.Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete (竞争). Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood,and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.(1) Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The author grew up in New York in the 1960s.B．The author still enjoys the home milk delivery.C．The milkman gave a quarter at the boy's request.D．The milkman delivered a variety of products.(2) What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?A．He wanted to have tea there.B．He was a respectable person.C．He was treated as a family member.D．He was fully trusted by the family.(3) Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A．Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B．It has been driven out of the market.C．Its service is getting poor.D．It is forbidden by law.(4) Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A．He missed the good old days.B．He wanted to tell interesting stories.C．He needed it for his milk bottles.D．He planted flowers in it.4.When school started on that warm August day, I threw myself into everything I did, including playing volleyball. I decided to become beautiful, or at the very least, skinny. I stopped eating completely. Soon I began losing weight, which thrilled me, and I even grew to love the tiredness and lightheadedness that came with my poor diet, for those feelings meant that I was winning.As the season progressed, things had become tense between my head volleyball coach, Coach Smith, and me. She felt that something was wrong with my health. She talked with me about my eating and was angry that I wouldn't listen to her when she tried to make me eat. She tried to persuade me in a determined way and so we fought constantly. Then my hunger started to affect my performance. I was so tired that practice and games were becoming a struggle. One afternoon, with hurt in her eyes, Coach Smith asked me what I had eaten and I told her nothing yet, but I was going to. She looked at me, disappointment in her eyes, knowing she couldn't make me stop, and walked away.A couple of weeks later I attended a formal dinner for our volleyball team. I stood there as my coach managed to say something nice about me. I realized then that I had ruined my senior year by being disrespectful, and I had probably ruined hers as well. So that evening I wrote her a letter apologizing and thanking her.Then one Saturday as I was reading in the library, I felt someone gently take my arm and say softly, "Lynn Jones, how are you doing? I looked up and saw the familiar face." Thanks for the letter," she said. "It meant a lot.When I think of a coach, I think of someone above me, someone who gives instruction—not a friend.But Coach Smith is different, and, like any other good friend, she dealt with my problem in a determined way even when I hated her for it at that time. I didn't deserve her kindness, but she gave it anyway. I will forever be grateful for her help, and now for her friendship.(1) How did the author feel when the author ate a poor diet and had a sense of tiredness?A．Ashamed B．Proud C．Funny D．Nervous(2) The author fought with Coach smith because _____.A．she refused to go on a dietB．she caused failure of her teamC．she changed the training courseD．she kept her idea of losing weight(3) Why did the author write a letter to Coach Smith?A．She felt sorry for eating too little food.B．She decided to improve her performance.C．She was grateful for Smith's care for her health.D．She wanted to build a close relationship with Smith.(4) What is the best title for the passage?A．Unexpected Friendship B．A Fight with My CoachC．A Strict Volleyball Coach D．My Way of Losing Weight答案一、阅读理解题（共4题）1. 【答案】(1) D(2) A(3) C(4) F【解析】(1) 这是一篇议论文。

英语四级阅读理解练习：工作和娱乐
英语四级阅读理解练习：工作和娱乐在英语学习过程中，阅读理解能力是学习者发展语言能力的基础和手段。
国内的各类英语考试中几乎都有阅读理解题型，大学英语四级考试也不例外。
大学英语四级阅读理解试题是试卷中分值最重的题型，为了提高大家的阅读水平，下面是店铺为大家带来英语四级阅读练习，希望对大家的学习有所帮助!英语四级阅读理解练习：工作和娱乐What do we mean by leisure, and why should we assume that it represents a problem to be solved by the arts? The great ages of art were not conspicuous for their leisure—at least, art was not an activity associated with leisure. It was a craft like any other, concerned with the making of necessary things. Leisure, in the present meaning of the word, did not exist. Leisure, before the Industrial Revolution, meant no more than "time" or "opportunity"; "If your leisure served, I would speak with you. " says one of Shakespeare's characters. Phrases which we still use, such as "at your leisure", preserve this original meaning.But when we speak of leisure nowadays, we are not thinking of securing time or opportunity to do something; time is heavy on our hands, and the problem is how to fill it. Leisure no longer signifies a space with some difficulty secured against the pressure of events: rather it is a pervasive emptiness for which we must invent occupations. Leisure is a vacuum, a desperate state of vacancy—a vacancy of mind and body. It has been commandeered ( 强占) by the sociologists and the psychologists: it is a problem.Our diurnal existence is divided into two phases, as distinct as day and night. We call them work and play. We work so many hours a day, and, when we have allowed the necessary minimumfor such activities as eating and shopping, the rest we spend in various activities which are known as recreations, an elegant word which disguises the fact that we usually do not even play in our hours of leisure, but spend them in various forms of passive enjoyment or entertainment—not football but watching football matches; not acting, but theatre-going; not walking, but riding in a motor coach.We need to make, therefore, a hard-and-fast(不能变通的) distinction not only between work and play but, equally, between active play and passive entertainment. It is, I suppose, the decline of active play—of amateur sport— and the enormous growth of purely receptive entertainment which has given rise to a sociological interest in the problem. If the greater part of the population, instead of indulging in sport, spend their hours of leisure "viewing" television programmes, there will inevitably be a decline in health and physique. And, in addition, there will be a psychological problem, for we have yet to trace the mental and moral consequences of a prolonged diet of sentimental or sensational spectacles on the screen. There is, if we are optimistic, the possibility that the diet is too thin and unnourishing to have much permanent effect on anybody. Nine films out of ten seem to leave absolutely no impression on the mind or imagination of those who see them: few people can give a coherent account of the film they saw the week before last, and at longer intervals they must rely on the management to see that they do not sit through the same film twice.We have to live art if we would be affected by art. We have to paint rather than look at paintings, to play instruments rather than go to concerts, to dance and sing and act ourselves, engaging all our senses in the ritual and discipline of the arts.Then something may begin to happen to us: to work upon our bodies and our souls.It is only when entertainment is active, participated in, practiced, that it can properly be called play, and as such it is a natural use of leisure. In that sense play stands in contrast to work, and is usually regarded as an activity that alternates with work. It is there that the final and most fundamental error enters into our conception of daily life.Work itself is not a single concept. We say quite generally that we work in order to make a living: to earn, that is to say, sufficient tokens which we can exchange for food and shelter and all the other needs of our existence. But some of us work physically, cultivating the land, minding the machines, digging the coal; others work mentally, keeping accounts, inventing machines, teaching and preaching, managing and governing. There does not seem to be any factor common to all these diverse occupations, except that they consume our time, and leave us little leisure.We may next observe that one man's profession or work is often another man's recreation or play. The merchant at the weekend becomes a hunter (he has not yet taken to mining); the clerk becomes a gardener; the machine-tender becomes a breeder of bull-terriers ( 叭喇狗)There is, of course ，a sound instinct behind such transformations. The body and mind are unconsciously seeking compensation—muscular coordination, mental integration. But in many cases a dissociation is set up and the individual leads a double life—one half Jekyll, the other half Hyde(有善恶双重性格的人)- There is a profound moral behind that story of Stevenson's, for the compensation which a disintegrated personality may seek will often be of an anti-social nature. TheNazi party, for example, in its early days was largely recruited from the bored—not so much from the unemployed as from the street-corner society of listless hooligans.Scientific studies have been made of street-corner society, out of which crime, gangsterdom, and fascism inevitably develop. It is a society with leisure—that is to say, spare time—and without compensatory occupation. It does not need a Satan to find mischief for such idle hands. They will spontaneously itch to do something: muscles have a life of their own unless they are trained to purposeful actions. Actions, or rather activities, are the obvious reflex to leisure; they consume it, and leave the problem solved.But work is also activity, and if we reach the conclusion that all our time must be filled with one activity or another, the distinction between work and play becomes rather meaningless, and what we mean by play is merely a change of occupation. We pass from one form of activity to another; one we call work, and for that we receive pay; the other we call play, and for that we receive no pay—on the contrary, we probably pay a subscription.1. The Industrial Revolution brought about a change in the nature of people's work as well as in the amount of time it took.2. Passive entertainment, which has increased in our age, leads to a decline in health and may also create psychological problems.3. The division of activities into work and play is unsatisfactory because it conceals the important distinction between active entertainment and passive entertainment.4. Mental work is more beneficial to one's psychology than physical work.5. The Nazi party was mostly enrolled from the jobless.6. TV programs should be abandoned because they entertain viewers passively.7. The word "leisure" has completely changed its original meanings.8. Danger may arise if work and play are not______coordinated.9. When entertainment is active, play can serve as an activity that______work.10. One man may perceive another man's recreation as______.答案：I. Y 2. Y 3. Y 4. NG 5. N 6. N 7. N 8. properly 9. alternates with10. profession (or work)英语四级阅读理解练习：工作和娱乐在英语学习过程中，阅读理解能力是学习者发展语言能力的基础和手段。

They go to offices,police stations,laboratories,and other places where their parents or other family members work.The Ms.Foundation,an organization for women,started the program about ten years ago.In the U.S.,many women work outside the home.The Ms.Foundation wanted girls to find out about many different kinds of jobs.Then,when they grow up,they can choose a job they like.Claire's mother works in a company.Claire says,“It was very exciting for me to go to the company with my mum.I saw a lot of people doing different jobs.”Many businesses have special activities for girls on this st year,Claire went to work with her aunt at the University of Massachusetts.In the engineering department,the girls learned to build a bridge with toothpicks(牙签)and candy.In the company,they learned to type pictures.Right now,Claire does not know what job she will have when she grows up.But because of Take Our Daughters to Work Day,she knows she has many choices.30.According to the passage,Take Our

country to another.In France,people spend about1,646hours a year at work.In Japan,however,people work about2,159hours a year.Why do people work so many hours?Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money.However,many companies don't pay overtime.Their workers don't get more pay formore work.Some people think it's their duty to work more hours.Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don't work more hours.Many people say that their vacations are too short.In France,people get five weeks of paid vacation a year.In Germany,they get four to six weeks,and in the United States,two weeks.One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days.In Great Britain,there is a saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull(迟钝的)boy."If that is true,there must

part-time.But in general,teenagers in East Asia(亚洲)have not followed this trend.Parents in these cultures(文化)encourage their children to study not to“waste”their time working.But is working really a waste of time for teenagers?The answer is unclear.Experts(专家)point to both benefits(利益) and pitfalls of teenager employment(工作).One study showed that teenagers who work more than15hours a week have bad grades.They are also less likely to go to college.But experts haven't decided that teenager employment should be avoided(避免)after all.They believe that holding a part-time job can teach teenagers about teamwork.Teenagers also learn aboutmanaging(安排)their time and money.Employment does bring benefits.Teenagers should be careful, however,to spend less hours working and always put schoolwork first.38.To have a part-time job is not popular for teenagers in.A.the USAB.AustraliaC.EuropeD.East Asia39.The underlined word“pitfalls”means in this passage.A.good pointsB.hidden dangersC.big

with their hands.But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs.And so it goes on until one of the men crashes(撞击)through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below.He is dead!Of course he isn't really dead.With any luck he isn't even hurt.Why?Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire,are well trained.They do this for a living.These men are called stuntmen.That is to say,they perform tricks(花招,手段).Here are two sides to their work.They do most of the things you see on the screen.For example,they fall from a high building.However,they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress(床垫).Again, when they hit one another with chairs,the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash throughwindows,the glass is made of sugar!Although their work depends on trick of this sort,it also requires a high degree of skill and training.Often a stuntmen's success depends on careful timing.For example, when he is"blown up"in a battle scene,he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work,but they lead dangerous lives.They often get seriously hurt,and sometimes killed.A Norwegian stuntman,for example,flew over the edge of a cliff(悬崖)a thousand feet high.His parachute(降落伞)failed to open,and he was killed.Although it is full of deadly dangers,this is no longer the work for men only.Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous actions.For nowadays there are stuntwomen,too!52.Stuntmen are those who.A.often dress up as famous actorsB.prefer to lead dangerous livesC.often perform dangerous actionsD.often fight each other for their lives53.What's the meaning of the underlined sentences in the first paragraph?A stuntman should.A.crash bravely though a window made of sugarB.do the well-planned activity at a very momentC.open his parachute when he jumps down the cliffD.have got a high degree of skill and training54.Which could probably be the best title of this passage?A.Fights in the MoviesB.Crashing out of the WindowC.Exciting Films TodayD.Most Dangerous WorkOOne Tuesday morning,Harry saw an ad in a window.It said,“Wanted.The Best Salesman in the World.Top Pay.”Harry thought he was a great salesman and went to ask for the job.“I am the best salesman in the world,”he said to the manager,“Give me the job.”“You must prove(证明)you're the best,”the manager said.“OK.I will!”Harry answered.“Good!”The manager took a box of sweets out of his desk.“Last week I bought a thousand boxes of sweets:If you Can sell them all before the end of the week,you can have the job,”said the manager.“That's easy.”Harry said.He took the boxes of sweets and left the office.Every day and all day,he went from shop to shop,trying to sell the boxes of sweets.He couldn't sell one.The sweets were too bad for him to sell.At the end of the week he went back to the manager.“I'm sorry,sir.”He said,“I Was wrong about myself.I'm not the best salesman in the world,but I know who is.”“Oh.”said the manager,“Who?The person who sold you a thousand boxes of these sweets.”Harry said.55.Harry went to ask for the job because he was himself at first.A.afraid ofB.wrong withC.sure ofD.worried about56.If Harry wanted to get the job,he would have to.A.buy all the sweets from the managerB.sell out all the sweets in a few daysC.eat up all the sweetsD.sell the sweets at the weekend57.Choose the right order(顺序)of this story.1Harry went to ask for the job.2Harry told the manager who really Was the best seller.3Harry saw an ad in a window.4Harry went to sell the sweets.A.1-2-3-4B.4-3-2-1C.3-1-4-2D.3-4-1-258.From this story we can see that.A.Harry didn't get the jobB.Harry was a good sellerC.The manager was a good sellerD.The ad was a good one59.According to(根据)the story,which of the following is right?A.Harry sold some of the sweetsB.The sweets were too expensiveC.Harry was not clever at allD.The sweets were terriblePIt is said that there are about40,000different kinds of jobs in the world.Choosing the right one itself is a difficult job."Finding a job"is not the same as"choosing a job".Many young people end up in a job which they are not suitable for."Chance"may play a more important part than"decision".Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after school or university.First,it is important to realize what kind of person you are,which special qualities make you different from everyone else and what you are interested in.There is a difference between an interest and a skill.If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures,that is an interest.But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse instead of a big dog,that is a skill.Then ask yourself this question:in the following three areas—skills with people,skills with information and skills with things—which are your best skills?After examining your skills,the next step is to research.To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible,go to the library and read books,magazines and newspapers.Ask your friends about the work they do.Finally,trust your own ideas and your own thinking!It is your own life,so find something that you enjoy doing.60.To choose the right job is.A.unimportantB.difficultC.easyD.impossible。

【推荐】专题15 热点话题(真题训练)-备战2018年高考英语阅读理解话题分类解读与训练
专题15 热点话题真题训练Passage 1（2017年·新课标卷II）Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle —named the Transition – has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decisi on five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugiasays an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The basic data of the Transition.B. The advantages of flying cars.C. The potential market for flying cars. C. The designers of the Transition.29. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?A. It causers traffic jams.B. It is difficult to operate.C. It is very expensive.D. It burns too much fuel.30. What is the govern ment’s attit ude to the development of the flying car?A. CautiousB. Favorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Disapproving.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Flying Car at Auto ShowB.

2023届阅读理解话题分类专练：语言学习(含答案)
2023届阅读理解话题分类专练:语言学习（共4题）一、阅读理解题（共4题）What are the differences between communication and languageThe system of communication which relies on the verbal or non-verbal codes, used in transferring information, is called "language". A language is a tool of communication, while communication is the process of transferring message to one another. Language focuses on the signs, symbols and munication lays emphasis on the message. Before the invention of written words, language was confined to the auditory channels. The basics of communication do not change at all. Conversely, daily new words are added to the dictionary of the language, so it changes every day. Is communication wider than languageSo with the above explanation, it is quite clear that communication has a wider scope than language, as the former covers the latter. Language is the essence of communication, without which, it cannot exist.What are language barriers in communicationLanguage barriers are the most common communication barriers which cause misunderstandings and misinterpretations between people. Most of the people in the world do not speak English or, even if they use, it is their second or third language. If the speaker and receiver do not use the same language and words, there is no meaning to the communication.Why is language needed for communicationLanguage is needed for any kind of communication, and even people with speech impairments communicate with sign munication becomes difficult in situations where people don't understand each others' language. The inability to communicate using a language is known as the language barrier to communication.(1) Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage A．Language is the only way to communicate with people.B．People send messages to communicate with others.C．Language didn't appear until the invention of written words.D．Language changes every day with the added new words.(2) What can be done to avoid language barriers according to the author A．Speaking English. B．Speaking the second language.C．Speaking the same language. D．Using body language.(3) The underlined word "impairments" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.A．methods B．functions C．disabilities D．skills(4) Which of the following would the author probably agree with A．Communication is superior to language.B．Language is the essence of communication.C．All the languages can be written and spoken in the world.D．Language has a wider scope than communication.Reading is a very good way to learn a new language and culture.Firstly, it's important to choose a book which is the right level for you. If you are juststarting out with English, don't try to read a 600-page classic novel! So start with something at your own level. The more you read at your level the better you will get, and one day, you will be ready for something more difficult!Secondly, although it's useful to have a dictionary at hand to look up words, I would suggest trying not to translate everything word for word. You will soon get bored of looking through the dictionary! And accept that you are not going to understand every word.

You will probably run into a language barrier, but you'll still get by. Some tips:Basic expressions● Because it takes years to learn a foreign language, many people don't even try. However, you should take the time to learn a few basic expression and how to count to ten.● No book can show you how to pronounce foreign words correctly! Have a native speaker pronounce them for you and don't be afraid to ask.Asking for directions● Open our mouth and say "ahh", as if you were at the doctors office. Follow "ahh" by the name of the place you're going to: "ahh Paris" or "ahh Madrid". If you point to a map as you do this, most Europeans will understand, even if you use English in the rest of the sentence. You can say, for example, "I would like to 'ahh' Madride".● Remember that many cities are spelled differently in different languages. For example, the city of Venice is called Venezia in Italian.Tricks for communicating● Speaking simply. Say "Men, please", not "I would like a menu, please".● Repeat statements only slowly and without raising your voice.● If your vocabulary is limited, try to communicate in writing, Carry paper and get waiters and clerks to write down prices for you.● Don' t be afraid of giving sign language a try.(1) The author will probably agree that _____.A．to learn the target language is a must for travelersB．with language skills travelers will have fun abroadC．language barrier is the top killer of travelers holidayD．travelers actually don 't have any language problems(2) Which of the following will help you when you travel overseasA．Write down things you want to express.B．Take a book and look up words you don't know.C．Always say "ahh" when you ask for help.D．Repeat what you have said again and again.(3) What is the best title for the passageA．Smooth Talking overseas B．Language barrierC．Travelling Overseas D．Tricks for CommunicatingEsperanto was once a popular foreign language in China, but now few people are stilllearning and using it, with some of them worrying the community will disappear in the future.The language was created by Ludwig Zamenhof, a Polish ophthalmologist (眼科医师). On July 26, 1887, he published Dr. Esperanto's International Language, a guide to his created language, and hoped to bring the world closer to peace by bridging the communication gap between people.In China, Esperanto was once taught in universities and was made an option on the foreign language examinations. Some of China's most famous writers and intellectuals were early supporters of the language, most notably Lu Xun, who died in 1936.Back in the 1980s, Esperanto was a popular foreign language because of its simplicity compared to English. The Beijing Association for Esperanto (BAE) estimated 300,000 to 400,000 Chinese speakers back then.Chen Ji is the director of the El PopolaCinio, China's first Esperanto magazine and one of the three outlets in China that publish in the language. She said the number of Esperanto speakers has declined since the 1970s and 1980s when China's reforms led to a rise of interest in foreign languages.However, she does not believe this means a decrease in Esperanto's popularity. She says China's Esperanto community has bolstered itself in other ways, such as its presence at the Congress."Many Esperantists are sent to the Congress every year, and they get involved in the discussions in many aspects. They also organize activities about China during the event," Ji said.But not everyone is optimistic about the future. Hiroyuki Usui, an editor at El PopolaCinio, is from Japan and began learning the language when he was 13."The idea was that our society and humankind would progress and also our language must progress; that idea is what made Esperanto popular before. Now we don't have so much of a belief that this will happen, so Esperantists cannot provide another perspective," Hiroyuki said."Still I am working for Esperanto. My identity cannot be separated from Esperanto. If I leave Esperanto, maybe there's nothing there—about me. I at least hope this community of Esperanto speakers will not disappear," he added.(1) Which of the following statements is true about Esperanto according to the passageA．It is a popular foreign language being used now in China.B．Learning Esperanto used to be a must in Chinese universities.C．English is a better language than Esperanto in its simplicity and popularity.D．It was meant to narrow the gap between people speaking different languages. (2) What can be inferred from the passageA．The whole Esperanto community is certain about its future development. B．Some famous Chinese writers and intellectuals can speak Esperanto now.C．El PopolaCinio is the one and only mass medium in China using Esperanto. D．The decline of Esperanto is related to the rising interest in other foreign languages..(3) What does the underlined word "bolstered" in Paragraph 6 possibly meanA．supported B．failed C．examined D．behaved(4) Which words best describe Hiroyuki Usui's attitudes towards Esperanto A．indifferent and impatient B．optimistic and confidentC．concerned but hopeful D．disappointed but happy答案一、阅读理解题（共4题）1. 【答案】(1) D(2) C(3) C(4) B2. 【答案】(1) D(2) B(3) G(4) F(5) E【解析】(1) 本文是说明文。

My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low , because it was short of water there.One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals (渠) and other projects began to be built in my village. They were good men from our government.Later, I moved to another city. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard, so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project (水利工程) was completed, a policy (政策) was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.Nowadays, many people live in a big city.

Nobody was born to be poor?” Hearing his words, the villagers decided to make a difference.Led by the Communist Party of China(中国共产党), the villagers carried water and soil to their village from faraway places to improve their land. From 1966 to 1971, they reclaimed(开垦) lots of land and greatly improved their life.However, the village encountered a new problem two decades later as the environment became heavily polluted by chemical plants and mine refineries built in 1990s.The polluting factories were shut down in 2004, and villagers started grape cultivation, which soon became a main industry in Shashiyu.In 2009, the city-level government invested over 1 million yuan ($152,723) to change the village’s exhibition hall into a museum in memory of development efforts made by earlier generations.After 10 years, the village was called “National Forest Village”.Zhang said that the village started a yearly tourism festival in 2015 to attract travelers to pick grapes. “The grapes could be sold at a better price once Shashiyu becomes famous through this festival.

But they can also be a problem, especially fossil fuel （化石燃料）cars, which cause air pollution, To improve the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles（EVs, 电动车）. Among them, China is taking a leading role and has created the world’s largest EV market.In 2016, 40% of the 753, 000 EVs sold worldwide were sold in China, about twice as many as the number sold in the United States. Chinese drivers are already big fans of EVs.“Charging（充电）an electric car is cheaper than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas,” said Wu Hao, who bought an electric car this year.However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging stations and the cars can’t go far before needing to be recharged.Some of these problems are being solved. In 2014, China had 31, 000 charging stations, according to Xinhua. Now China has the world’s largest EV charging network, with more than 167, 000 charging stations in total.Developing EVs is one of many efforts China has made to reduce pressure on its environment. “As China goes, so will the world’s auto industry,” the Wall Street Journal said.1．How many EVs were sold in America in 2016?A．About 40.B．About 150, 600.C．About 301, 200.D．About 753, 000.2．Why did the writer use Wu Hao’s example?A．To show the problem of EVs.B．To introduce the use of EVs.C．To show the advantage of EVs.D．To introduce the development of EVs.3．What can we inferred from the last paragraph?A．China takes the lead in developing EVs.B．China is the most developed in auto industry.C．China has solved the environmental problems.D．China should learn from foreign auto industry.（2022·四川省内江市第六中学二模）We’ve been driving around in gas-powered cars for over 100 years. Once we run out of all the oil from the earth, we can’t make more. Is it time for a change?Go electricAn electric car has an electric motor that runs on batteries(电池), which come in a big pack. Instead of filling with gas, an electric car owner get it charged (充电). What happens when the batteries run down? You need to find somewhere to recharge. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 8 hours to recharge an electric car. That’s not as handy as a quick stop at a gas station.Hybrid (gas + electric)A hybrid car has two engines—one uses gas and the other uses electricity. For short trips, it turns on batteries like an electric car. But if the batteries are low, the car can change to the gas engine. This can be a good choice for people who are worried about the batteries running out halfway through a trip. But when the car burns gas, it still gives off waste gases like a regular car.Solar powerCould we use the sun to power cars? Some car companies are working on it. A solar car has an electric motor that runs on batteries. But the batteries are charged by the solar panels (太阳能板) on the car’s roof and body. To charge up, you just need to park the car in the sun! But making solar panels and batteries that are powerful enough to move a car is very expensive. It might take a good bit of time before solar cars are available to the general public. 4．What does the underlined word “handy” mean in Chinese?A．Easy to use.B．Difficult to get.C．Expensive to buy.D．Possible to charge.5．What is the problem with a hybrid car?A．It runs out of its battery very fast.B．It is difficult to repair a broken hybrid car.C．It still produces harmful gases when burning gas.D．It is hard to change from the electric engine to the gas one.6．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Ways to take the place of gas.B．Qualities of different vehicles.C．Suggestions on reducing air pollution.D．Disadvantages of different kinds of energy.（2022·江苏苏州·九年级专题练习）When visiting the southern Chinese city of Liuzhou, the first thing people notice is its quietness. What is missing is the continuous noise of fuel vehicles (燃油车辆) in most big cities. It is because almost 50% of the cars sold in Liuzhou last year were electric vehicles (EVs电动汽车), making the city of about 4 million people the biggest EV market in the world. Not only that, the natural environment of the city is also wonderful.Liuzhou’s first move was to let people know more about EVs. SAIC-GM-Wuling carried out a free 10-month test-drive plan in 2017. More than 15,000 people took the carmaker’s Baojun E100 for a trial (试用). The trial was so popular that chances ran out within minutes, and 70% of test-drivers bought one of the vehicles. Wuling then studied people’s needs and driving habits to make improvements.At the beginning, people had many worries about EVs, such as safety or the problem about charging (充电). In fact, it’s very comfortable to use EVs. Free parking and tens of thousands of charge points are on hand for drivers. People have realized not only does it save money to drive electric cars but also there are many charge points for convenience. Besides, the air is becoming cleaner after more and more EVs hit the road.“Guiding people towards electric cars is not easy”, said Jochen Sicbert, managing director at JSC Automotive in Singapore. But officials of Guangxi are also trying to make the use of Evs more popular in other cities, including in other parts of China. “Cities should support the light-weight and small vehicles coming into the city as those vehicles can fit everywhere and don’t use too much power,” Siebert said. “That should be the future.”7．What made Liuzhou lead the world?A．EVs’ production.B．EVs’ sales.C．City environment.D．Population increase.8．What do we know about the 10-month test-drive plan from the passage?A．It worked very well.B．It cost Wuling much money.C．It was doubted by people at first.D．It was carried out in many other cities.9．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．Guidance of safe driving.B．Advantages of driving EVs.C．Solutions to traffic problems.D．Suggestions from EVs’ customers.10．What is the writing purpose of this text?A．To build a less-polluted city.B．To draw public attention to Wuling.C．To encourage the use of electric cars.D．To explain some environmental problems.（2022·广东广州·一模）In many countries, people are encouraged to buy electric cars. It is said that driving an electric car is good for the environment. But is that true? The University of Minnesota recently studied emissions （排放物）from different cars. The scientists found that sometimes, electric cars are more harmful than petrol（汽油）cars.Surprising? Well, please pay attention to the word “sometimes”. Electric cars are supposed to be clean. Theproblem lies in the power that is used to charge（充电）them. If the power comes from wind or solar energy, electric cars will cause little pollution. However, if the power is produced from coal, they will be very harmful. According to the study, emissions from these cars kill about 3, 000 people a year. However, pollution caused by petrol cars only leads to 880 deaths a year.In fact, sales people are not lying when they say electric cars are clean. However, they are right only when the power used to charge their cars is also clean.So how clean electric cars are depends on what its electricity comes from. In France, more than half of the power comes from nuclear stations. Electric cars there should be as clean as they are marketed（推销）to be. In many developing countries, however, electricity still mainly comes from coal. India, for example, depends on coal for 61 percent of its power. Only two percent of its electricity comes from nuclear energy. In countries like India, electric cars are not clean at all!11．According to the passage, electric cars will cause little pollution if the power comes from __________.①coal ①wind energy ①nuclear energy ①solar energy ①petrolA．①①B．①①C．①①①D．①①①12．Which one is TRUE according to the passage?A．Driving an electric car is good for the environment.B．Electric cars are as clean as they are marketed to be.C．Emissions from petrol cars kill about 3, 000 people a year.D．In general electric cars in France are cleaner than electric cars in India.13．What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A．To state the advantages of electric cars.B．To advise people not to buy electric cars.C．To argue that electric cars are not good for the environment.D．To explain why electric cars are sometimes more harmful than petrol cars.（2022·北京一七一中模拟预测）As the world becomes increasingly populated, it is also becoming alarmingly polluted. Fortunately, there are many ways that you can help deal with the negative effects that we impose (施加) on the environment. One of these is driving an electric car.Electric cars produce about 80 percent less pollution than cars with gas-powered motors. In fact, the only reason that electric cars produce any pollution at all is that their electric energy is produced by power plants—electric cars themselves produce no waste. When energy comes from large sources such as power plants, it’s easier to control. So there’s less waste than if the energy is produced by many smaller sources, such as the gas engines inindividual cars.Furthermore, electric cars are simply more efficient than gas-powered cars for several reasons. First, electric cars have regenerative braking, which means that when you use the brakes in an electric car, the battery has a chance to recharge (再充电). On the contrary, when you brake in a gas-powered car, you actually use energy. Also, during the production of electric cars, more time and energy is spent making the design lighter and more aerodynamic so that there will be less drag (阻力) from the wind. This allows them to travel farther using less energy than a gas-powered car would use to go the same distance.In addition to the environmental benefits of driving electric cars, there are also financial and time-saving benefits for the drivers. For one, they cost less to maintain (维修). The cost of charging an electric car is about 20 percent of the cost of gas, and electric cars require far less maintenance than gas-powered cars. This is due, in part, to the fact that electric cars have no cooling system, fan belts, radiators, hoses, or oil-just a battery. There are fewer moving parts overall, so there are fewer possible problems. Also, after the body of an electric car gives out, the engine can be reused in another body. Electric cars can also save people time. While gas-powered cars require visits to a mechanic every few months, the only routine maintenance required by electric cars is replacing the battery every four years.Overall, there are numerous benefits of driving an electric car. It may take some time to get used to, but in the long run, the use of electric cars can help preserve the environment and give people more time and money to be put to better use.14．What can we learn from the second paragraph?A．Less than 80 percent pollution is produced by cars.B．Gas-powered cars get energy from power stations. C．Electric cars themselves don’t produce any waste.D．It’s difficult to control energy from power plants. 15．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A．The battery can be reused after the body of an electric car gives out.B．Replacing the engine every four years is required for an electric car.C．It may take no time to see the popularity of driving electric cars.D．Electric cars cost less to maintain because of fewer moving parts.16．Which is the best title of the passage?A．The Best Way to Protect the Environment B．Electric Cars Are Worthy of a Second LookC．The Greatest Invention in the New Century D．Driving Electric Cars Saves Times and Money（2022·广东·深圳市松岗中学八年级阶段练习）Cars make our lives more convenient. But they can also be a problem, especially fossil fuel (化石燃料) cars, which are a major cause of air pollution.To improve the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles (EVs). Among them, China is taking a leading role and has created the world's largest EV market according to the Wall Street Journal.Last year, over 40 percent of the 753,000 EVS sold worldwide were sold in China, more than twice as many as the number sold in the US, according to the International Energy Agency.Chinese drivers are already big fans of EVS. Chinese auto companies including BYD and BAIC (北汽集团) rank among the top in the world in EV sales.Charging (充电) an electric car is cheaper than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas, said Wu Hao, who bought an electric car from BAIC this year. However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging piles (充电桩) and the cars can’t go far before needing to be recharged.Some of these problems are being solved. In 2014, China had 31,000 charging piles, according to Xinhua News Agency. Now China has the world’s largest EV charging network, with more than 167,000 charging piles in total, according to the Economic Daily.Developing EVs is one of many efforts China has made to reduce pressure on its environment after the government promised to stop increases in carbon dioxide emissions (二氧化碳排放量) by 2030.“As China goes, so will the world’s auto industry,” the Wall Street Journal said. China has taken a leading role in the world’s electric vehicle industry.17．How many electric vehicles were sold in China last year?A．About 753,000B．Over 300,000C．About 31,000D．More than 167,00018．Many countries are developing electric vehicles because __________.A．they try to make the environment betterB．there are many fans of the EVsC．producing fossil fuel cars is more expensiveD．finding charging piles is a not a problem any longer19．__________ mainly cause air pollution according to the passageA．Shared bikes B．Subways C．Fossil fuel cars D．Electric vehicles20．The passage mainly talks about ___________.A．the ways to deal with air pollution B．why EVs are becoming so popularC．the development of EVs in China D．some problems of the EVs（2022·广东·华南师范大学中山附属中学八年级期末）The carmaker Volvo announced this week that it would only make electric vehicles (车辆) in 2030. V olvo is the second large car company to say it will stop making traditional internal combustion engines (传统内燃机). In January, American carmaker General Motors said it wouldonly make electric vehicles in 2035.Henrik Green is V olvo’s chief technology officer (首席技术官). Green says that one of the main reasons for the move to electric vehicle production is to help V olvo meet (满足) the expectations of their customers. Besides, there is no long-term future for cars with traditional engines. Also, it will be a helpful way to fight against air pollution. As governments try to reduce pollution, more carmakers like V olvo are increasing production of electric vehicles.If you want to buy one of these volvos in about nine years, you will have to make your order online. You will still be able to look at cars at a volvo store now. The V olvo stores, which are known as dealerships (经销商), will remain in place so that customers can look at cars and have them repaired.In making the announcement, V olvo says it also plans to show a new eclectic vehicle. The company hopes that in four years, half of its sales around the world will come from electric vehicles. The other half will come from cars known as hybrid cars. Hybrid cars use mixed power of electric and traditional engines to move the vehicles.V olvo sold about 660,000 cars worldwide last year.

In January, American carmaker General Motors said it would only make battery-powered cars by 2035. Henrik Green, the chief of the car technology officer, said that “there is no long-term (长期的) future” for cars with traditional engines. If you want to buy one of these cars in about nine years, you will have to make your order online. You will still be able to look at cars at a car store, however, the present car stores, which are known as dealerships (供应商), will remain in place so customers can look at cars and have them repaired.In making the announcement, they said it also plans to show a new electric car. The automobile company said it hopes that within four years, half of its sales around the world will come from electric cars. The other half will come from cars known as hybrids (混合物). Hybrid cars use a combination of batteries and traditional engines to move the car. Green said the move to electric cars will help them “meet the expectations of our customers and be part of the solution when it comes to fighting climate change”.As technology improves and governments try to reduce pollution, more carmakers are increasing production of electric cars.26．What did the carmaker said this week?A．It had made some electric cars.B．It will make traditional cars by 2030.C．It won’t make electric cars.D．It won’t make traditional cars.27．If you want to buy one of the electric cars in about nine years, you will ________.A．have to make your order at store.B．be able to look at cars online.C．have your car repaired at a car store.D．be able sell your car online.28．Henrik Green implied (暗示) that ________.A．they will stop producing traditional cars B．traditional cars have a bright futureC．they will produce traditional cars in the short-term D．they have no plan for producing cars29．The underlined word “batteries” in the passage means ________ in Chinese.A．汽油B．电池C．混合D．太阳能30．The purpose of writing the passage may be to ________.A．encourage people to produce electric cars B．encourage people to use electric carsC．encourage carmakers to stop producing traditional carsD．encourage carmakers to produce new cars with less pollution（2022·安徽·合肥市第四十五中学三模）Across the world, the number of electric cars is growing. China has encouraged people to buy electric cars to control pollution. Some European countries are trying to be all-electric by 2040 or sooner. However, charging (给……充电)these cars has been a problem.Public charging stations are not built evenly (均匀地)around the world. Countries with lots of support from governments, like China, have thousands of public charging stations. But in many other countries, there are few public chargers. That’s a problem for people who need to drive further than 200 miles.This situation worries many people who are interested in electric cars. “If I can’t charge it, there’s no way for me to choose an electric car,” says Solie, who works far from his home.Mr Romano, the CEO of ChargePoint, says, “Workplaces should have one charger for every 2.5 electric cars. Highways (公路)need one every 50 to 75 miles.”Luckily, car makers and governments are trying to solve the problem. BMW, Daimler, Volkswagen, and Ford are building 400 fast-charging stations in Europe.31．Why has China encouraged people to buy electric cars?A．To get more money.B．To protect the environment.C．To solve the electricity problem.D．To build more charging stations.32．What’s the problem for people who are interested in electric cars?A．Driving electric cars is difficult.B．The price of electric cars is too high.C．Electric cars are easily broken down.D．There are not many public chargers.33．How many chargers should be built on a 1,000-mile highway according to Mr Romano?A．About 10.B．About 20.C．About 50.D．About 75.34．Where can we probably read the passage?A．In a guidebook.B．In a storybook.C．In a magazine.D．In a diary.参考答案：1．B2．C3．A【导语】本文介绍了电动汽车在中国的发展。

（10分）_______________________弟弟在郊游时脚尖不小心被尖利的石头割破，到医院包扎后，几个同学送他回家。
在家附近的巷口，弟弟碰见了爸爸。
于是他一边跷着扎了绷带的脚给爸爸看，一边哭丧着脸诉苦，满以为会收获一点同情和怜爱，不料爸爸并没有安慰他，只是简单交代他几句，便自己走了。
弟弟很伤心，很委屈，也很生气。
他心里一定在想：老爸怎么一点也不关心我。
在弟弟大发牢骚时，有个同学笑着劝道：“别生气，大部分老爸都这样。
其实他很爱你，只是不善于表达罢了。
不信你看，等你爸爸走到前面拐弯的地方，他一定会回头看你。
”弟弟半信半疑，其他同学也很感兴趣。
于是他们不约而同停下了脚步，站在那儿注视着爸爸的背影。
爸爸依然笃定地一步一步向前走去，好像没有什么东西会让他回头。
可是当他走到拐弯处，就在他侧身左拐的刹那，好像不经意似的悄悄回过头来，很快地瞟了弟弟他们一眼，然后才消失在拐弯后面。
虽然这一切都发生在一瞬间，但那动作却打动了在场的所有的人，弟弟的眼睛里闪着泪光。
当弟弟把这件事告诉我时，我也有一种想要流泪的感觉。
很久以来我都在寻找一个能代表父爱的动作，现在终于找到了，那就是——拐弯处的回头。

They go to offices,police stations,laboratories,and other places where their parents or other family members work.The Ms.Foundation,an organization for women,started the program about ten years ago.In the U.S.,many women work outside the home.The Ms.Foundation wanted girls to find out about many different kinds of jobs.Then,when they grow up,they can choose a job they like.Claire's mother works in a company.Claire says,“It was very exciting for me to go to the company with my mum.I saw a lot of people doing different jobs.”Many businesses have special activities for girls on this st year,Claire went to work with her aunt at the University of Massachusetts.In the engineering department,the girls learned to build a bridge with toothpicks(牙签)and candy.In the company,they learned to type pictures.Right now,Claire does not know what job she will have when she grows up.But because of Take Our Daughters to Work Day,she knows she has many choices.30.According to the passage,Take Our

country to another.In France,people spend about1,646hours a year at work.In Japan,however,people work about2,159hours a year.Why do people work so many hours?Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money.However,many companies don't pay overtime.Their workers don't get more pay formore work.Some people think it's their duty to work more hours.Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don't work more hours.Many people say that their vacations are too short.In France,people get five weeks of paid vacation a year.In Germany,they get four to six weeks,and in the United States,two weeks.One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days.In Great Britain,there is a saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull(迟钝的)boy."If that is true,there must

part-time.But in general,teenagers in East Asia(亚洲)have not followed this trend.Parents in these cultures(文化)encourage their children to study not to“waste”their time working.But is working really a waste of time for teenagers?The answer is unclear.Experts(专家)point to both benefits(利益) and pitfalls of teenager employment(工作).One study showed that teenagers who work more than15hours a week have bad grades.They are also less likely to go to college.But experts haven't decided that teenager employment should be avoided(避免)after all.They believe that holding a part-time job can teach teenagers

JobB.Tips on How to WorkC.The First-day WorkD.The Importance of Co-workersMHere's an interview to a pilot about his life.(R=Reporter;P=Pilot)R:How much time do pilots actually spend flying a plane?P:It varies(各不相同)from about20minutes on some domestic(国内的)flights to as much as18 hours on international flights.It all depends on if the flight is a short-or long-haul flight.R:Do pilots take breaks during flights or do they fly the whole time?P:Yes,we take breaks during long-haul flights.Airlines assign(指派)three or four pilots to long flights.We take turns flying the plane.R:If pilots are traveling all the time,how do they deal with jet lag(时差)?P:Jet lag is annoying for almost all pilots.I try to go to sleep as I would at home.R:How important is it to know the weight and size of the plane you are flying?P:It is very important.We weigh almost everything put into the airplane and make estimates(估计) according to the number of people on each flight.R:Do pilots eat the airplane food?P:Yes,we eat business class food!Airplane food changes every season and is very delicious if you don't hate eating lobster(龙虾)every day!The pilots on the same plane are supposed to make different

spend flying a plane?C.How to deal with jet lag?D.How to take breaks during flying?NYou are watching a film in which two men are having a fight.They hit one another hard.At the start they only fight with their hands.But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs.And so it goes on until one of the men crashes(撞击)through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below.He is dead!Of course he isn't really dead.With any luck he isn't even hurt.Why?Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire,are well trained.They do this for a living.These men are called stuntmen.That is to say,they perform tricks(花招,手段).Here are two sides to their work.They do most of the things you see on the screen.For example,they fall from a high building.However,they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress(床垫).Again, when they hit one another with chairs,the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash throughwindows,the glass is made of sugar!Although their work depends on trick of this sort,it also requires a high degree of skill and training.Often a stuntmen's success depends on careful timing.For example, when he is"blown up"in a battle scene,he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work,but they lead dangerous lives.They often get seriously hurt,and sometimes killed.A Norwegian stuntman,for example,flew over the edge of a cliff(悬崖)a thousand feet high.His parachute(降落伞)failed to open,and he was killed.Although it is full of deadly dangers,this is no longer the work for men only.Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous actions.For nowadays there are stuntwomen,too!52.Stuntmen are those who.A.often dress up as famous actorsB.prefer to lead dangerous livesC.often perform dangerous actionsD.often fight each other for their lives53.What's the meaning of the underlined sentences in the first paragraph?A stuntman should.A.crash bravely though a window made of sugarB.do the well-planned activity at a very momentC.open his parachute when he jumps down the cliffD.have got a high degree of skill and training54.Which could probably be the best title of this passage?A.Fights in the MoviesB.Crashing out of the WindowC.Exciting Films TodayD.Most Dangerous WorkOOne Tuesday morning,Harry saw an ad in a window.It said,“Wanted.The Best Salesman in the World.Top Pay.”Harry thought he was a great salesman and went to ask for the job.“I am the best salesman in the world,”he said to the manager,“Give me the job.”“You must prove(证明)you're the best,”the manager said.“OK.I will!”Harry answered.“Good!”The manager took a box of sweets out of his desk.“Last week I bought a thousand boxes of sweets:If you Can sell them all before the end of the week,you can have the job,”said the manager.“That's easy.”Harry said.He took the boxes of sweets and left the office.Every day and all day,he went from shop to shop,trying to sell the boxes of sweets.He couldn't sell one.The sweets were too bad for him to sell.At the end of the week he went back to the manager.“I'm sorry,sir.”He said,“I Was wrong about myself.I'm not the best salesman in the world,but I know who is.”“Oh.”said the manager,“Who?The person who sold you a thousand boxes of these sweets.”Harry said.55.Harry went to ask for the job because he was himself at first.A.afraid ofB.wrong withC.sure ofD.worried about56.If Harry wanted to get the job,he would have to.A.buy all the sweets from the managerB.sell out all the sweets in a few daysC.eat up all the sweetsD.sell the sweets at the weekend57.Choose the right order(顺序)of this story.1Harry went to ask for the job.2Harry told the manager who really Was the best seller.3Harry saw an ad in a window.4Harry went to sell the sweets.A.1-2-3-4B.4-3-2-1C.3-1-4-2D.3-4-1-258.From this story we can see that.A.Harry didn't get the jobB.Harry was a good sellerC.The manager was a good sellerD.The ad was a good one59.According to(根据)the story,which of the following is right?A.Harry sold some of the sweetsB.The sweets were too expensiveC.Harry was not clever at allD.The sweets were terriblePIt is said that there are about40,000different kinds of jobs in the world.Choosing the right one itself is a difficult job."Finding a job"is not the same as"choosing a job".Many young people end up in a job which they are not suitable for."Chance"may play a more important part than"decision".Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after school or university.First,it is important to realize what kind of person you are,which special qualities make you different from everyone else and what you are interested in.There is a difference between an interest and a skill.If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures,that is an interest.But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse instead of a big dog,that is a skill.Then ask yourself this question:in the following three areas—skills with people,skills with information and skills with things—which are your best skills?After examining your skills,the next step is to research.To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible,go to the library and read books,magazines and newspapers.Ask your friends about the work they do.Finally,trust your own ideas and your own thinking!It is your own life,so find something that you enjoy doing.60.To choose the right job is.A.unimportantB.difficultC.easyD.impossible。

material?A.He is studying geography at the university.B.He can teach children to play the guitar.C.He is on the university swimming team.D.He can work for the two whole months.BMany people say that they are working too many hours.They don't have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.Work hours are different from one country to another.In France,people spend about1,646hours a year at work.In Japan,however,people work about2,159hours a year.That means a Japanese worker works513more hours a year than a French worker.Why do people work so many hours?Some people work extra hours becausethey want to make more money.However,many companies don't pay overtime.Their workers don't get more pay for more work.Some people think it's their duty to work more hours.Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don't work more hours.Many people say that their vacations are too short.In France,people get five weeks of paid vacation a year.In Germany,they get four to six weeks,and in the United States,two weeks.One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days.In Great Britain,there is a saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull(迟钝的)boy."If that is true,there must be a lot of dull people in the world.4.A Japaneseworker works more hours a year than a French one.A.513B.1,646C.2,159D.3,8055.The word"extra"in

their futures, since Jack hasn't been able to find another job yet,and neither has Betty.The layoffs weren't a surprise to Jack and Betty.After all,Jack's company hadn't been doing very well for a long time,and neither had Betty's.However,Jack had never expected both of them to be laid off at the same time,and Betty hadn't either.Ever since they have been laid off,Jack and Betty have been trying to find new jobs.Unfortunately,she hasn't been very successful,and he hasn't either.The main reason they're having trouble finding work is that there simply aren't many jobs available(有用的)right now.He can't find anything in the wanted ads,and neither can she.She hasn't heard about any jobs opening,and he hasn't either.His friends haven't been able to help at all,and neither have hers.Another reason they're having trouble finding work is that they don't seem to have the right kind of skills and training.He doesn't know anything about computers,and she doesn't either.She can't type very well,and neither can he.He hasn't had any special vocational(职业的)training,and she hasn't either.Despite all their problems,Jack and Betty aren't completely discouraged(失意).She doesn't have a very pessimistic(悲观的)outlook on life,and neither does he.They're both hopeful that things will get better soon.9.Who can't find the new job?A.Jack.B.Betty.C.Neither of them.D.Both the two.10.The main
