（家庭、社会生活）李仕才导读：妈妈总是告诉我们如果我们在暗处看书会弄坏眼睛。
这种说法有科学依据吗？Some facts about vision scienceMom always told us we'd go blind if we read in the dark. Does science ①back her up? Jim Sheedy, a doctor of vision science and director of the Vision Performance Institute at Oregon's Pacific University, sets his sights on the truth.Dark MatterTurns out, our parents were wrong. “②There is no reason to believe nor evidence to support that any long-term damage to the eyes or change in the physiology to the eyes can be caused by reading in the dark,”Dr. Sheedy says.That is not to say that nocturnal page-turning won't lead to discomfort or fatigue.The lack of light will cause the pupils to dilate, ③resulting in a smaller depth of field —the distance between the nearest and farthest object that the eye considers to be in focus. Dr. Sheedy says the added effort to change focus and the effort to change the angle of the lines of sight between the two eyes will likely make your eyes feel tired and your body spent. But, of course, that's often the object of reading under the covers.Seeing ClearlyDr. Sheedy says he assures his students that there isn't enough evidence to argue that what you do with your eyes leads to myopia. 'The predominant determinant of myopia is genetics.' No link to long-term damage has ever been conclusively shown, says Dr. Sheedy. 'It's an old tale, a ploy used by moms to get kids to go to sleep when they wanted them to,' he says.Electronic AgeReading on a tablet device won't damage your eyes, Dr. Sheedy says. His team hasstudied various fonts, computer displays and pixel resolutions, and found the difference in effect on the eye between reading e-ink and the printed word to be negligible.He adds that pixel density and screen resolution have reached the point at which the eye doesn't know which it is seeing. So if reading a printed book in dim light is fine, so is reading a Kindle or iPad.Moving from Dark to LightThe eyes adapt quickly when going to the light—④emerging from a tunnel into the sun, say—but going to the dark 'requires the regeneration of photo pigments, and that takes some time to reach full dark-adaptation,' says Dr. Sheedy.Adjusting to the dim light next to your bed should only take seconds. But when going from bright light to maximum darkness, studies have shown, eye sensitivity continues to change for up to 25 minutes, he says.'Ever wonder why a pirate wears patches? It's not because he was wounded in a sword fight,' says Dr. Sheedy. Seamen must constantly move between the pitch black of below decks and the bright sunshine above.视觉科学的一些事实妈妈总是告诉我们如果我们在暗处看书会弄坏眼睛。

（文学、艺术、音乐）李仕才导读：一位美国早期的作家曾经说过：“美国人对音乐艺术几乎是相当无知。
”你认可这种观点吗？美国人究竟有哪些音乐爱好呢？American Music StylesJames Fenimore Cooper, an early American writer, once said, "The Americans are almost ignorant of the art of music." If that was once true, you would never know it today. Most Americans--even those without a musical bone in their bodies--have a favorite style of music. Many people enjoy classical and folk music from around the world. But other popular music styles in America were "made in the U.S.A."Country and western music lies close to the heart of many Americans. This style originated among country folks in the southern and western United States. Country music tells down-to-earth stories about love and life´s hardships. Guitars, banjos and violins give country music its characteristic sound. The home of country music is Nashville, Tennessee--Music City U.S.A.Jazz music, developed by African-Americans in the late 1800s, allows performers to freely express their emotions and musical skill. ①Instead of just playing the melody, jazz musicians improvise different tunes. The peak of jazz music came in the 1920s. This period produced musicians like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. Different styles of jazz developed in different cities,②such as New Orleans, Chicago, New York and Kansas City.③The 1950s saw the development of an explosive new music style: rock ´n´ roll.This powerful music style addresses issues like love, sex, drugs, politics and death. Often it rebels against the accepted values of society. Rock concerts, featuring loud music and sometimes weird stage acts, have become a major part of American youth culture. Music videos on television have spread the message of rock to the far corners of the globe.And the beat goes on. Pop music represents popular styles that have wide appeal. "Golden oldies" from the past bring back pleasant memories for many. Rap music, which burst onto the music scene in the 1970s, is actually more like a rhyming chant. Rappers give a strong--sometimes vulgar--messageabout life in the streets.Americans have always been a religious people, and music has long been a part of their religious experience, as well. Today´s Chr istian styles fit all musical tastes--from country to jazz to pop to rock to rap.In America, music is a shared experience. People grow up with piano lessons, chorus classes and marching band practices. They can talk about their tastes in music when there isn´t anything else to talk about. ④If James Fenimore Cooper were here today, he would surely have to change his tune.美国的音乐风格詹姆斯·费尼莫尔·库柏，一位美国早期的作家，曾经说过：“美国人对音乐艺术几乎是相当无知。

2016高考英语阅读理解一轮选练（11）阅读理解。
Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn’t know how much the car was going to change American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons why the car became so popular in the United States First of all the country is a big one and Americans like to move around it. The car makes the travel the most comfortable and cheapest. With a car people can go to any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed a practical and cheap public travel system. Long distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Now there is a good system of air- service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used often.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like waiting for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to follow an exact timetable. A car gives them the freedom to plan their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.Less oil has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real answer will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much oil.1.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A In the United States even the poor own cars.B In the United States all the poor have no cars.C When an American has a car, he will never be poor.D An American will feel poor unless he has a car.2.We can learn from this passage that Americans ______.A spend a lot of money traveling by carB travel a lot in their carsC seldom travel by planeD use public traffic often3.Which of the following is not told in the passage?A Buses, trains and planes are not comfortableB Traveling by car is not expensive.C Americans have the spirit of independenceD Americans often move from place to place4.In the writer’s opinion, cars are popular in the United States mainly because ___.A Americans like to plan their own timeB The United States does not have enough public transportationC Americans will not feel poor when they travel in their carsD Americans cannot move around without their own cars5. “A nation on wheels” in the second paragraph means that _______.A everyone in the United States owns a carB the United States produces most of the cars in the worldC cars play an important part in American’ lifeD the United States depend on car industry for its development【参考答案】1—4、DBAAC阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

（健康与饮食）李仕才导读：你见过蓝色和绿色的蜂蜜吗？这些奇怪颜色的蜂蜜是怎么来的呢？The colorful honeyBlue and green honey may look cool, but beekeepers in northeastern France are not happy about their strange-looking new product.Over the past few months, beekeepers in Ribeauvillé, a town located in the Alsace region, have noticed that bees there have been making honey in many strange colors. Bees have been returning to apiaries with different colors coating their bodies. The colors then ①end up polluting the honey.A recent research showed that a nearby M&M’s factory is behind the change in color. Waste from the factory has been exposing the bees to a number of chemicals. Some of the chemicals are used in the outer shells of the candies, which come in many bright colors.The local beekeepers do not know if the polluted honey is dangerous to eat, but they are not taking any chances. They are ②throwing away the candy-colored honey, which means a big loss to local businesses.“For me, it’s not honey,” Alain Frieh, leader of the town’s beekeepers union, tells the Reuters news agency. “It’s not sellable.”The honey industry in this part of France has been suffering this year. According to Frieh, many bees died last winter or were unable to make honey because of the bad weather. This new problem of colored honey is hurting the beekeepers’ way of life even more.The region ③is home to about 2,400 beekeepers and 35,000 colonies of bees, according to Alsace’s chamber of agriculture. ④The beekeepers harvest approximately 1,000 tons of honey each year, making the product a big part of the region’s economy.Agrivalor is the company that processes the M&M's factory's waste. According to co-manager Philippe Meinrad, the company has been ⑤attempting to stop the pollution.“We discovered the problem ⑥at the same time they did,” Meinrad tells Reuters. “We quickly put in place a procedure to stop it.”彩色的蜂蜜蓝色和绿色的蜂蜜可能看起来很酷，但法国东北部的养蜂人却不喜欢这种看起来怪异的产品。

AShay asked, “Do you think they’ll let me play?” Shay’s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.Shay’s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much.

In the bottom of the final inning, Shay’s team scored again. Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch (投) came and Shay missed.

As the pitch came in , Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.The pitcher could have easily thrown he ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game .Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates, The audience and the players from both teams started screaming,“Shay, run to first! ”Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base, wide-eyed and shocked..Everyone should, “Run to second!” Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second.By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team,who had a chance to be the hero for his team fir the first time,could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head.All were screaming，“Shay，Shay，Shay，all the way Shay.” Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, “Shay, run to third.” As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying,“Shay, run home！”Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who the who won the game for his team.That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece true love and humanity into this world.

For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for steal ing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfath er a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut iin before things g rew worse.After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother san k in a faint（晕倒）, waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.56. According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the close” means ______.A. a family honorB. a family secretC. a family storyD. a family treasure57.

I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University,but my mother fought strongly againsnst it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell,she tore it up.“You can’t say it’s not a great university,just because Papa went there.”“That’s not it at all.And it is a top university.”She was still holding the pieces in her hand. “But we can’t afford to send you to college.”“I wouldn’t dream of askin g you for money.Do you want me to get a job to help suppont you and Papa?Things aren’t that bad,are they?”“No,”she said. “I don’t expect you to help support us.”Father borrowed money form his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop,His chief customers were his old college friends.To get new customers,my mother had to help.She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women,so that she cound get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my Parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资) could show returns.What’s more ,they had not wanted enough to be roch and successful ；otherwise they cound not possibly have managed their lives so badly.I was torn between the desave to help them and change,their lives,and the determinstion not to repeat their mistakes.I had a strong belief in my power to go what I wanted.After months of hard study I won a full college scholarship（奖学金）.My father could hardly contain his pride in me,and my mother eventually gave in before my success.53.The author was not allowed to go to Cornell University mainly because his father grduated from the universityA.his mother did not thinks it a great universityB.his parents needed him to help support the familyC.his parents did not have enough money for him54.The father srarted his small shop with the money from .A.a local leagueB.his universityC.his relativesD.his college friends55.Why did the mother renew her membership in the league?A.To help with her husband’s busine ssB.To raise money for her sonC.To meet her long-forgotten friendsD.To better manage her life56.According to the text,what was the author determined to do in that autumn?A.To get a well-paid job for himselfB.To improve relations with his motherC.To go to his dream universityD.To carry on with his father’s businessA4They are the sort of friends who are so close they trust each other with their lives. If one falls, the other is there to catch him.They are Wellman, whose legs were permanently injured nine years ago in a rock-climbing accident, and Corbett, an experienced rock climber. Together, they climbed up Half Dome, the famous 2,000-foot rock in the Yosemite National Park, through one of the most difficult routes(路线).During the climb, Corbett took the lead, hit in the metal spikes（尖状物）that guided the ropes and climbed up. Then, after Wellman pulled himself up the rope, Corbett went down to remove the spikes and climbed up again. This process was repeated time and again, inch by inch, for 13 days.Wellman’s job was not easy either. He got himself up the rope through upper body strength alone. In all, Wellman figured that he had done 5,000 pull-ups up the rope on the climb.However, when the two men first met, they n ever talked about climbing. “He knew that was how I got injured.” Wellman said. Until one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb again and they started training.Their climb of Half Dome was not all smooth. At one point, pieces of rock gave way, and Corbett dropped down quickly. Wellman locked their rope in place, stopping the fall at 20 feet. His quick action probably saved his friend’s life.“Your partner can save your life —you can save your partner’s life,” Wellman said as the pair received congra tulations from friends. “There are real close ties.”64.

He stopped rock-climbing for some time.D. He was saved by Corbett during the climb.67. The main idea of the text is that .A. two heads are better than oneB. friendship is precious in lifeC. the disabled should never give upD. a man can be destroyed but cannot be defeatedA5There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckers. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say, “See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me towater the flowers every day! I don't know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of s pace you are!”And all that the old bucket could say was, “I know I’m not very useful, but I can only do my best.I’m happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”One day, the gardener heard that kind or conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, h e said, “You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.”Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare (光秃秃的) earth; on the onther side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.56. What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?A. DirtyB. DarkC. Worn-outD. Plain-looking.57. What was the old bucket ashamed of?A. His past.B. His aging.C. His manner.D. His leaking.58.

Twenty-one years later I am later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 81. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challeng e from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it,it just seems normal. Everything you want won’tarrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember；little steps add up to big dreams.41.

2019年高考英语真题阅读理解专题(有详细解析)
2019年高考英语真题阅读理解整理（有详细解析）（一）1.Sunday ,31 AugustWe’ve been in China for a month now. Dad, Mom, Harry and I moved to Tianjin on 25 August. We’re not very far from Beijing. Two days ago, we celebrated my 16th birthday. It was great celebrating in China;the only thing that was strange was the cake一here they’re not as sweet as the ones in New York. On Monday school starts—I wonder what it will be like.Monday, 1 SeptemberOn my first day I was looking around for a locker to put my books in. However,here all the students keep all of their books at their desks. We stay in the same classroom because apparently we don’t have to go from class to class—teachers come to us!Today we selected teacher assistants for each subject. Their duties are to collect homework, make announcements, and do other stuff for the teachers and the students. It’s kind of a big deal here! Since I am from the US, I was asked to be the English assistant. I felt so proud but quite nervous at the s ame time because I wasn’t sure what I had to do,but I accepted the job anyway. Friday ,3 OctoberBoy, what a week! Now we have nine classes every day, including the morning class, a combination of our American schools “ Homeroom ” and “ Study Hall ”. I think Chinese students work too much! I have to do my 、homework when I get back home. I don’t even have time to watch TV or surf the Internet like before. I sometimes miss New York and my school because we didn’t have to study so much. We had more time to hang out with our classmates and neighbors; here, besides their usual classes, students are involved in weekend classes in subjects such as English, Chinese and math.I get a lot of attention, being from another country. Everyone wants to practice English with me!A really cute girl even asked me for my phone number on my second day and sent me a text message! I’m making a lot more friends now. I just need a lot of help to improve my Chinese. Some students want to do a language exchange program with me. Nice!1.The passage mentions all the following points EXCEPT _______ .A.physics studyB.food flavourC.free time activitiesnguage exchange programs2.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the teacher assistant’s duty?A.Collecting homework.B.Making announcements.C.Helping teachers with small errands (差事).D.Teaching classmates.3.Where is this passage most probably from?A.A storybook.B.A guide book.C.A diary.D.A magazine.4.The passage is best described by _______ .A.culture shockB.multi-cultureC.unique cultureD.cultural background2. Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up ahill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take justone picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.1.What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A.Her camera stopped working.B.A woman blocked her view.C.Someone asked her to leave.D.A friend approached from behind.2.According to the author, the woman was probably___________.A.enjoying herselfB.losing her patienceC.waiting for the sunsetD.thinking about her past3.In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo s o alive?A.The rich color of the landscape.B.The perfect positioning of the camera.C.The woman's existence in the photo.D.The soft sunlight that summer day4.The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ____________.A.the need to be close to natureB.the importance of private spaceC.the joy of the vacation in ItalyD.the shared passion for beauty5.The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon _____________.A.a particular life experienceB.the pleasure of travelingC.the art of photographyD.a lost friendship3. Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-be to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater’s location (位置) was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town,” he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.”Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because offinancial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.1.In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special?A.It made room for new equipment.B.It signaled the closedown of the theater.C.It was done with the help of the audience.D.It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.2.Why was The Last Picture Show put on?A.It was an all-time classic.B.It was about the history of the town.C.The audience requested it.D.The theater owner found it suitable.3.What will probably happen to the building?A.It will be repaired.B.It will be turned into a museum.C.It will be knocked down.D.It will be sold to the city government.4.What can we infer about the audience?A.They are disappointed with Bradford.B.They are sad to part with the old theater.C.They are supportive of the city officials.D.They are eager to have a shopping center.4. Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person's intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.1.Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Paragraph 1?A.To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.B.Intelligence is developed by the environment.C.Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.D.Some people are born clever and others born stupid.2.It is suggested in this passage that_______.A.the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligenceB.unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligenceC.close relation usually have similar intelligenceD.people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence3.The phrase “at random”(Line3, para.2) means _______ .A.purposelyB.frequentlyC.independentlyD.aimlessly4.The best title for this article would be_______.A.On IntelligenceB.What Dose Intelligence Mean ?C.We Are Born with IntelligenceD.Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence5. In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy(识字) rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the na mes of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim— were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon(名人堂) of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ s tyle of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer.But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.1.Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A.They were difficult to understand.B.They were popular among the rich.C.They were seen as nearly worthless.D.They were written mostly by women.2.Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A.his reputation in FranceB.his interest in modern artC.his success in publicationD.his importance in literature3.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To remember a great writer.B.To introduce an English novel.C.To encourage studies on culture.D.To promote values of the Victorian age.6. Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll h ave no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的) to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walkedahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a mome nt to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.1.According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more _____________.A.anxious to do wondersB.sensitive to others' feelingsC.likely to develop unpleasant habitsD.eager to explore the world around them2.What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A.To avoid jumping to conclusions.B.To stop complaining all the time.C.To follow the teacher's advice.D.To admit mistakes honestly.3.The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they __________.A.are very patient in their observationB.are really fascinated by natureC.care only about the names of birdsD.question the accuracy of the field guides4.Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?A.The natural beauty isn't attractive to them.B.They focus on arriving at the camp in time.C.The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.D.They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.5.In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should __________.A.fill our senses to feel the wonders of the worldB.get rid of some bad habits in our daily lifeC.open our mind to new things and ideasD.try our best to protect nature7. Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"The beginning of the ride is comfortable and so mewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless (鲁莽的) or daring, the ride can be as thrilling (惊心动魄的) as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somew hat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with yourhands on the armrests even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.1.According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?A.Advertisements on the billboards.B.Films on television.C.Buses on the road.D.Gas stations.2.What is the purpose of this passage?A.To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.B.To persuade you to take a long bus trip.C.To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.D.To describe the billboards along the road.3.The writer of this passage would probably favor .A.bus drivers who aren’t recklessB.driving aloneC.a television set on the busD.no billboards along the road4.The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because .A.the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are funB.they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in betweenC.the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on busesD.both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.5.The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are.fortableB.excitingC.tiringD.boring（二）1. A year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me. I never heard any noise from the children, but the parents were always yelling at them.We often met and I always spoke, but the only answer I ever got was a hello from a four-year old girl. One day when I returned they were just coming back to their apartment and the little girl was holding the door in the hall open for the others. I remained in the car doing unnecessary things. The parents were telling her to hurry. I looked up and saw the little girl was still holding the door open, waiting for me.So I hurried as much as I could and thanked her. She was smiling from ear to ear.That afternoon I was at the K-Mart and I saw a white teddy bear. I thought of the little girl and said to myse lf, “I bet she would like it.” So I bought it for her.The next day there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her father. She was so proud of her bear and thanked me. Then I noticed her mother and the other children were there in the hall, too.Now when we meet in the hall we all speak in a friendly manner. Last night we had about 4 inches of snow. The temperature was below zero. When I opened the outside door, there was my car with all the snow removed. The man next door was the only person I knew in the whole building, so when I saw him the next day, I asked him if he was the nice person that removed the snow. He said NO. He wanted to, but his wife said she would do it.Isn’t it amazing that the small kind act of a 4-year-old girl can change so many things for the better?1.The author bought a teddy bear to _____A.show off his wealthB.express his thanksC.please his neighborD.refuse the help2.Who removed the snow on the author’s car?A.the girlB.the girl’s fatherC.the gi rl’s motherD.both the girl’s father and mother3.The passage is _____________.A.sympathetic(同情的)B.humorousC.warmD.frightening4.What does the author want to tell us through the passage?A.little children should be polite to their neighbors.B.More good things come from small acts.C.Your neighbors are not as bad as you think.D.Things can be changed as a consequence of removing snow.2. Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers(低头族).Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie(自拍照)in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.1.For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?A.To advertise the cartoon made by students.B.To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.C.To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.D.To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.2.Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?A.His social skills could be affected.B.He will cause the destruction of the world.C.His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.D.He might get separated from his friends and family.3.Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?A.Objective.B.Supportive.C.Optimistic.D.Opposed.4.What may the passage talk about next?A.Advice on how to use a cell phone.B.People who are addicted to phubbing.C.The possible consequences of phubbing.D.Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.3. Before birth,babies can tell the difference between loud sounds and voices.They can even distinguish their mother’s voice from that of a female stranger.But when it comes to embryonic learning(胎教),birds could rule the roost.As recently reported in The Auk:OrnithologicalAdrances,some mother birds may teach their young to sing even before they hatch(孵化)。
2019高考英语阅读理解专题选编(含解析)(打包13套)
2019高考英语阅读理解专题选编（1）ATaylore is a kid who passes by to ride sometimes and help us with chores. Barely 15, she’s never short of advice, and one of her favorite pastimes is teasing me about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.Last summer four of us rode down the trail behind our woods: my wife Karen, Taylore, Taylore’s friend Kendall and me. I was riding my 13-year-old, Tawny.We were two miles from home when, for some unexplainable reason,I pushed Tawny into a gallop（飞驰）. The other horses were anxious to catch up, and just like that, the race was on.Taylore brushed past my left leg and, seconds later, Kendall went by on my right.I realized Tawny was covering ground faster than I’d ever seen her. She strained every muscle in her body to catch up with the girls. It was like a truck winding over a mountain road without brakes (闸). Part of me felt perfectly in control, while another part screamed that I wasn’t.In half a mile I knew we’d be crossing the highway, so I prayed that the girls would be fine. I gave up calculating how long it might take before my horse would be tried enough to want to slow down.I was just about out of answers when I saw the girls slowing in front of me. Their horses were relaxed and comfortable, not even breathing hard. Taylore’s face glowe d. She gave me a high five. ＂Wow, you did well, ＂she said. ＂I knew you’d go fast when you were ready.＂No one in the group had even broken a sweat, except me. I was still nervous from the crazy pace. My heart pounded too, but not from exercise. Karen claims I was showing off for the girls that day, and maybe she’s right. But I think I had something to prove. Because despite my wrinkles (皱纹), glasses and gray hair, I was feeling young at heart. And, like a horse on a warm summer day, I’m always ready to kick up my heels.1. How did the race between the girls and the author begin?A. His horse’s gallop made the other horses want to catch up.B. He wanted to show off his riding skills for the girls.C. They wanted to know whose horse could run fastest.D. They teased him about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.2. During the race, ___________.A. the author’s horse outran the girl’s horses the whole timeB. the author was confident that Tawny was in controlC. the girls were so anxious to win that they sweated a lotD. the author’s good performance took Taylor e by surprise3. When the race ended, the author’s heart pounded because ________.A. he was feeling thrilled and youngB. it was really tough exercise for himC. he was worried that the girls might be in dangerD. he felt quite embarrassed that he had lost the race4. The phrase ＂ kick up my heels＂ at the end can be replaced by _________.A. devote myselfB. enjoy myselfC. accept my challengeD. take part in running competition【文章大意】文章描述作者和两个女孩骑马比赛，这让作者感到兴奋，也感到虽然自己上了年纪，但是有一颗年轻的心。
2019年全国高考英语试题阅读理解分类汇编之故事类(精校word版有答案解析)
2019年全国高考英语试题阅读理解分类汇编之故事类（精校word版有答案解析）1.【2019全国新课标】CAbout twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚)to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.The next scene was a complete contrast (对比). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures in front taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen (幕). An actor and actress stood of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water’s edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film "stars"! 【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

2019年高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(名师精选全国真题+详细解析答案，值得下载打印练习)AIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century — most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719 —but nobody wanted to do it professionally.The steam powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy (识字) rate in England was under 50%.Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.” Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim — were held up as moral touchstones.Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged.Removing him from the pantheon (名人堂) of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top？For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass.Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to 1901；today a casual reader might be able to name a half dozen of them.It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life.It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress.But it’s a lso that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center.No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer.But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture — to understand how he made himself a lasting one.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。

Although suspension bridgeslook impressively complicated，their design is relativelysimple.Giant cables are strung between two towers that are anchored (固定) to land on either side of a waterway or land gorge. The road hangs from the giant cables by suspension cables，or suspenders. Suspenders are made by weaving together thousands of thick steel strands.Even though these superstructures are built to last，many of American suspension bridges are getting old.The Golden Gate Bridge is slightly more than 70 years old.The Brookl yn Bridge in New York City celebrated its 125th birthday in 2017. Many of these superstructures are in need of super repairs.Engineers at Columbia University in New Y ork City have set out to create a way to detect the lifespan of a suspension cable electronically.They are testing a system in which tiny sensors are embedded (嵌入) inside cable strands to monitor a suspender’s condition around the clock.Engineer Raimondo Betti and his team at Columbia built a lab last December.They will use heat lamps to simulate the temperature changes a suspender would have to endure through changing seasons.They will shower the test cable with water and road salt to see how it withstands rain and snow conditions. In addition to blasting the suspender with severe weather conditions,the engineers are also subjecting the cable to the same kind of weight of a suspender on a hightraffic bridge would have to bear.The team will record data from the sensors over the next six months.After that，they will open the cable and see the extent to which the data they’ve recorded matches the actual damage to the cable.Betti says more accurate information on cable corrosion will be of great use to cities and states. Bridge owners will be able to make more informed decisions on maintenance and repair plans for bridges.1、Which of the following could be the image of the bridge described in the passage?2、In the testing system，the engineers are trying to .A、create realworld conditions that are as aggressive as the ones out thereB、replace old suspenders with new onesC、break the suspender apart to see the inside of itD、put as much weight as possible that the bridge can bear3、Engineers at Columbia University in New York City use new technology to .A、d esign a new suspension bridgeB、see the lifespan of big suspension bridgesC、prevent suspension bridges from corrosionD、solve the traffic delays caused by bridge maintenance4、Many suspension bridges in America are in need of super repairs because .A、they are too old and the style is out of dateB、many steel cables are too rustyC、they can’t meet the development of modern traffic systemD、they have withstood lots of years of wear and tear from heavy traffic and severe w eather5、The new sensor system could let engineers know .A、how to solve traffic problemsB、which bridge is designed bestC、when the bridge repair is necessaryD、what suspension bridges mean to a city参考答案1、D2、A3、B4、D5、C**********************************************************结束【贵州省湄潭中学2018届月考】BAs for visiting Walt Disney World. People usually have trouble in arranging. The following will give you some practical suggestions on paying a valuable visit to the famous park.When to go?While it’s always busy, Disney World is slightly slower between mid-January and March. It’s summer when the visitors , combined with the heat and humidity(潮湿)， are crowded. Your best choice is either early in the morning or late in the day--- often you can enjoy more rides in the first or last two hours of the day than you can the entire rest of the day combined.Where to stay?The question: to stay on Disney World Resort property or not. Disney World offers three resort pricing: Deluxe(豪华的), Moderate, and Value, with good facilities and in-hotel attractions. That said, they all offer “Extra Magic Hours”(early access to the theme parks), guaranteed entry when the parks are over-crowded, and frequent shuttle service to the many attractions. Off-property hotels will have shuttle transfers, but often at less regular intervals(间歇)，wasting more time in transport. You’ll also need a rental car, which adds to the expense, making up for saving in the hotel rate. The “Magic Your Way Package” is a good value if you have a large family.What to do?Make use of the “Fast Pass” , which , for no extra cost, allow you to insert your entrance ticket into a particular machine at the attraction and receive a schedule ride time a little later on. For example, use your Fast Pass ticket at a ride just before getting lunch. Once you’re done eating, you can return to the ride and jump right on during the busiest time of day. At the Animal Kingdom, the animals are most active either early or late in the day, so plan accordingly. Thankfully this is fit for the least busy times of day in the park. Study the map of the park the night before to plan your visit. You’ll save time by knowing where things are and where you’re headed.60. Visitors who use Fast Pass tickets ________A. can get discounts on ticketsB. will have a well-planned ride timeC. will often be checked at the exitD. have to pay more for their tickets61. If you have referred to the map of the park, you ________A. are sure to save timeB. will get the lowest-priced ticketsC. can learn the park’s locationD. may have your lost tickets replaced62.

But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widespread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer. All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.“When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing havemade writing classes compulsory(必修的) and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.64. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.B. To type or to Handwrite.C. Writing by Computer will Replace Writing by Hand.D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.65. Which of the following statements is NOT the advantage of handwriting?A. Handwriting contains the writer’s emotion.B. The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.C. Handwriting can impress people well and build one’s self-confidence.D. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.66. The underlined expression “taking stock in” probably means ___________.A. getting bored withB. getting dependent onC. becoming curious aboutD. getting curious about67. We can draw the conclusion from the passage that ___________.A. more and more students will give up writing on a computer.B. writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day.C. more and more students will pay attention to handwriting.D. the typing article better expresses one’s emotion and quality.64、BCBC*****************************************结束【阅读理解主旨大意】Passage******Mountain lions live in mountainous areas of the western United States. Lately, however, people have reported seeing them in quiet neighborhoods all across the country! Usually considered shy and seldom seen, these lions are becoming more noticeable. In addition, the lions appear to be moving east. They were even reported in the suburbs(郊区)of Boston, Philadelphis, and Chicago.It seems certain that these " kings of the mountains"are moving. Why? Scientists are not sure. Some think that as the mountain lion population increases the west, younger wild cats are leaving the area. These cats are searching for new homes and new places for food."The young males are looking for new homes, "says Lynn Sadler, who isthe director of the Mountain Lion Foundation in Sacramento,Calif. "People tendto create to many barriers(障碍), such as buidings, fences, roads, and noise.As the mountain lions seek new places and food and water sources'(水源), these barriers get in their way."The sightings have made people increasingly watchful. Sometimes the"mountain lions"that people report seeing turn out to be large dogs or even house cats. But at least a few of the meetings have been real. The buildingof new roads, the growing of suburbs and the growing popularity of outdooractivities are all increasing the chances that people in various parts of the country may meet up with a mountain lion.Because many people are concerned, about the reappearance of the American lion, an expert outlined some ways they can a- void attracting the wild cats: Never leave pets or pet food outsider properly cvare for farm animals; and plan public land use to enable the lions to move safely from one place to another."To be fair, "says the expert. "mountain lions are trying to regain their homes. They were here first. Now we need to find ways we can live together."1. Mountain lions are moving probably because_________.A. the suburbs o[ big cities are peaceful and quietB. more roads are being built into the mountainsC. the number of the lions increases in the westD. young lions are seeking new partners2. According to the passage,it is clear that_________.A. the reported sightings of mountain lions have not been provedB. people walking in the country may come across a lionC. fences have been built to protect the ionsD. mountain lions prefer populated areas3. To avoid attracting rnotuntain lions, People are advised_________.A. to build more roads for the lions to move safelyB. to keep a close watch on their [arm animalsC. not to stay outdoorsD. not to raise pets4. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Mountain Lions in Unlikely Passage?B. Measures Taken to Avoid LionsC. Number of Sightings Going UpD. Mountain Lions Moving West本井无明显主题句。

Let dream flyWhen Larry Walters was a child, his dream was unusual: He wanted to fly. ①What was unusual was the way his dream came true. After finishing school, Larry joined the U.S. Air Force, but he couldn’t get flying practice because he couldn’t see clearly. However, he never ga ve up his dream.Larry, aged 33, was not a pilot, but a driver in Los Angeles. One day, while sitting in his chair in his garden, Larry had a strange idea. ②As he watched weather ballons fly overhead, he decided to use weather balloons to fly.A few weeks later, Larry bought 42 one-meter diameter weather balloons. He tied them to a chair and filled them with helium. Then he sat down in the chair with some beer, sandwiches, and a BB gun. Larry’s plan was to fly about 10 meters above his backyard, enjoy a fe w hours in the air, and then shoot some balloons with his gun to get back down. But things did not go according to Larry’s plan.③When his friends cut the rope, Larry, lifted by the 42 balloons and flew into the high sky quickly. He finally stayed at an altitude of 4,000 meters. Afraid to shoot some balloons, the balance of his “craft” would lose”. Larry sat, cold and frightened, in the sky with his beer and sandwiches for 14 hours.Larry’s stay in the skies caused many planes to change their routes. F inally, Larry had to shoot a few balloons and slowly get back down, landing in power lines. Finally, he climbed down safely and was caught by waiting police.④When asked by a reporter why he had done it, Larry answered, "a man just can’t sit around." Larry achieved his dream, and set a record for a gas-filled balloon flight. But he had to hand in $1,500 for breaking air safety rules.让梦想起飞当拉里·沃尔特是个孩子时，他的梦想是不寻常的：他想飞。

Hanging above him was a capsule（航天舱）full of diners who were served a new course each time a revolution was made. “I thought that was the coolest thing ever”, he says. Baras, who founded in 2012 to promote the idea of pop-up restaurants in the USA, has been studying them ever since.Pop-ups, which have been around since at least the early 2000s, are open anywhere from a few hours to several months, but their defining feature is that they are temporary. They may be only a tiny part of the $709 billion U.S. restaurant industry, but pop-ups have gotten a boost in recent years as a lower-cost, lower-risk way for entrepreneurs to test the waters. Some restaurant owners see them as a way to renew interest in existing locations. And some struggling cities, like Oakland, California, have turned to them to help revitalize local economies impacted by the recession（衰退）.The concept has been especially popular with up-and-coming chefs who want to test-drive as a menu concept without investing a fortune in a permanent space. “Your cooks and chefs are really talented, but they’re stuck in the back of somebody else’s kitchen cooking somebody else’s menu,” says Zach Kupperman, chie f businessman officer and co-founder of Dinner Lab.Chefs in Dinner Lab cook in the middle of space, give a brief introduction about the menu and themselves — and then bravely listen to diner feedback afterward. Pop-ups’ temporary nature also allows restaurateurs to charge a deposit to make sure the diners will show up.Of course, trends in the food industry come and go quickly, and there is no guarantee that diners won’t tire of the concept. Some entrepreneurs have resorted to even weirder locations — in a former limestone mine, say, or at the top of a crane —to keep customers interested. “It’s not quite part of the mainstream economy yet.”says Baras.51. What does the underlined part “a revolution was made” in Paragraph One possibly mean?A. Chefs designed creative dishes.B. Diners tasted food in a new and creative way.C. The capsule containing diners made a circle.D. Great changes were made in the food industry.52. Perspective chefs are drawn to pop-ups due to the fact that ________.A. pop-ups are becoming increasingly popular with diners worldwideB. they have the desire to explore a safer way to make a livingC. their investment in pop-ups will bring them a long-lasting fortuneD. pop-ups provide a changeable test field for talented chefs’ creati vity53. The writer’s purpose of writing the passenger is ________.A. to appeal to people to dine out in pop-up restaurantsB. to give a brief introduction of pop-up restaurantsC. to warn business owners of the appearance of pop-up restaurantsD. to foresee the future of pop-up restaurants’ developmentBThe pills we take to treat anxiety may affect the behavior of fish, new research in the journal Science suggests.Swedish researchers found a common drug in rivers downstream of wastewater treatment plants. It is a drug for treating anxiety, called oxazepam. It is accumulating in fish and makes them bolder. Wastewater treatment plants are not designed to get rid of drugs. As a result, the drugs end up in wildlife, reaching harmful levels.“It’s something we don’t think about very often, but there are a lot of similarities between fish and humans. So some of our responses to drugs can be seen in fish as well,” said Karen Kidd. She is a biologist at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. The mood-altering drugs get into waterways when people taking the prescriptions throw unused pills into the waste stream.The researchers let perch（鲈鱼）swim in lab tanks with concentrations similar to those found downstream from wastewater treatment plants. “The perch pref erred to swim alone rather than in large groups. They were more likely to explore their environment,” said Micael Jonsson of Umeå University in Sweden, who helped lead the research.Johsson said, “This adventurous behavior required more energy. And they a te more plankton （浮游生物）, or tiny algae-eating animals, to guarantee enough energy for their activities. This could reduce the population of plankton.” The result could be more algae（水藻）. On the other hand, the new behavior could lead to the opposite effect. If perch make themselves closer to their natural enemies, they are likely to be eaten by them.None of the scientists is suggesting that people should give up these drugs. They just want to reduce the effects of the medicines on the environment. They recommend wastewater treatment plants should be redesigned to get rid of these medicines. But Kidd said that would be too expensive for some communities.Bryan Brooks, director of the Environmental Health Science Program at Baylor University, said drugs could also be designed to break down more quickly in the environment. And the government could continue to run recycling programs where people drop off their unused drugs at government locations. Brooks said he’s particularly concerned about drug effects on aquatic（水生的）environments, like the Trinity River south of Dallas and the South Platte River near Denver, where the majority of the flow comes from treated wastewater. In the developing world, he said, the problem may be even worse, because of careless wastewater treatment and industrial regulations.54. Which of the following best describes oxazepam’s effect on fish?A. It causes fish to be more daring.B. It makes fish much stronger.C. It has little influence on fish.D. It helps treat a fish disease.55. What will happen if perch become adventurous?A. They will eat more algae.B. There will be less plankton.C. They will need more oxazepam.D. Their natural enemies will be stronger.56. What would be the best title for the passage?A. More wastewater treatment plants are neededB. Fish in wastewater become more adventurousC. Drugs for treating mental diseases end up in wildlifeD. Anxiety drugs found in rivers change the behavior of fishCCulture can affect not just language and customs, but also how peopleexperience the world on surprisingly basic levels.Researchers, with the help of brain scans, have uncovered shockingdifferences in perception（感知）between Westerners and Asians, what they seewhen they look at a city street, for example, or even how they perceive a simpleline in a square, according to findings published in a leading science journal.In western countries, culture makes people think of themselves as highly independent individuals. When looking at scenes, Westerners tend to focus more on central objects than on their surroundings. East Asian cultures, however, emphasize inter-dependence. When Easterners look at a scene, they tend to focus on surroundings as well as the object.Using an experiment involving two tasks, Dr Hedden asked subjects to look at a line simply to estimate its length, a task that is played to American strengths. In another, they estimated the line’s length relative to the size of a square, an easier task for the Asians.The level of brain activity, by tracking blood flow, was then measured by Brain Scanners. The experiment found that although there was no difference in performance, and the tasks were very easy, the levels of activity in the subjects’ brains were different. For the Americans, areas linked to attention lit up more, when they worked on the task they tended to find more difficult —estimating the line’s size relative to the square. For the Asians, the attention areas lit up more during the harder task also —estimating the line’s length without comparing it to the square. The findings are a reflection of more than ten years of previous experimental research into East-West differences.In one study, for instance, researchers offered people a choice among five pens; four red and one green. Easterners were more likely to choose a red pen while Westerners were more likely to choose the green one.Culture is not affecting how you see the world, but how you choose to understand and internalize（使内化）it.But such habits can be changed. Some psychological studies suggest that when an Easternergoes to the West or vice versa, habits of thought and perception also begin to change. Such research gives us clues on how our brain works and is hopeful for us to develop programs to improve our memory, memory techniques and enhance and accelerate our learning skills.57. According to the passage, Chinese people are most likely to ________.A. more emphasize independent thinkingB. always focus more on their surroundingsC. focus on the context as well as the objectD. think of Westerners as highly independent units58. We know from the passage that people’s brains will be more active when ________.A. the task is much easierB. the blood flow is trackedC. people begin to choose colorsD. the task is more difficult59. What does Dr Hedden's experiment in Paragraph 4-5 indicate?A. Culture has a great impact on the way people talk and behave.B. Easterners and Westerners perceive the world differently.C. People's perception of the world can be changed.D. Americans are better at calculating than the Asians.60. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. Easterners prefer collectivism to individualismB. East Asian cultures lay more emphasis on independenceC. it took over ten years to find out how to improve our brainpowerD. Americans will change their habits of perception when they’re in BritainDMy grandmother Rosalind Einhorn was born exactly fifty-two years before I was, on August 28, 1917. Like many poor Jewish families in New York City, hers lived in a small, crowded apartment close to their relatives. Her parents, aunts and uncles addressed her male cousins by their given names, but she and her sister were referred to only as “Girlie”.During the Depression, my grandmother was pulled out of Morris High School to help support the household by sewing fabric flowers onto undergarments that her mother could resell for a tiny profit. No one in the community would have considered taking a boy out of school. A boy’s education was the family’s hope to move up the financial and social ladder.Education for girls, however, was less significant both financially, since they were unlikely to contribute to the family’s income, and culturally, since boys were expected to study the To rah while girls were expected to run a “proper home”. Luckily for my grandmother, a local teacher insisted that her parents put her back into school. She went on not only to finish high school but to graduate from U.C. Berkeley.After college, “Girlie” worked selling pocketbooks and accessories at David’s Fifth Avenue. When she left her job to marry my grandfather, David’s had to hire four people to replace her. Years later, when my grandfather’s paint business was struggling, she jumped in and took some of the hard steps he was unwilling to take, helping to save the family from financial ruin. She displayed her business ability again in her forties. After being diagnosed （诊断）with breast cancer, she beat it and then devoted herself to raising money for the clinic that treated her by selling some watches. Girlie ended up with a profit that Apple would envy.I have never met anyone with more energy and determination than my grandmother.When my grandmother had children of her own — my mother and her two brothers —she emphasized education for all of them. My mother attended the University of Pennsylvania. When she graduated in 1965 with a degree in French literature, she surveyed a workforce that she believed consisted of two career options for women: teaching or nursing. She chose teaching. She began a Ph. D. programme, got married, and then dropped out when she became pregnant with me. It was thought to be a sign of weakness if a husband needed his wife’s help to support their family, so my mother became a stay-at-home parent and an active volunteer. The centuries-old division of labor stood.Even though I grew up in a traditional home, my parents had the same expectationsfor me, my sister, and my brother. All the three of us were encouraged to do well in school, do equal routine tasks, and participate in after-school activities. We were all supposed to be athletic too. My brother and sister joined sports teams, but I was the kid who got picked lastin gym, despite my athletic shortcomings. I was raised to believe that girls could do anything boys could do and that all career paths were open to me.When I arrived at college in the fall of 1987, my classmates of both genders seemed equally focused on academics. I don’t remember thinking about my future career differentlyfrom the male students. I also don’t remember any conversations about someday balancing work and children. My friends and I assumed that we would have both. Men and women competed openly and aggressively with one another in classes, activities，and job interviews. Just two generations removed from my grandmother, the playing field seemed to be level.But more than twenty years after my college graduation, the world has not evolved nearly as much as I believed it would. Almost all of my male classmates work in professional settings. Some of my female classmates work full-time or part-time outside the home and just as many are stay-at-home mothers and volunteers like my mom. This mirrors the national trend. In comparison to their male counterparts（相同能力者）, highly trained women are scaling back and dropping out of the workforce in high numbers.61. Why were the writer’s grandma and her sisters called “Girlie”?A. They had not yet got their given names.B. They were highly valued by their elders.C. They shared apparent similarities in many ways.D. They were regarded as less important than boys.62. What conclusion can we draw about the writer’s grandmother?A. She was an extraordinarily able and tough woman.B. She was full of ideas for solving various problems.C. She benefited greatly from her family background.D. She had special ways of teaching her own children.63. What might people think when the writer’s mother gave up her job?A. Her freedom of choice ought to be well respected.B. Her job should be taken over by a younger person.C. It was a real shame about her losing that good job.D. It was quite normal for a woman like her to do so.64. From the description of the writer’s own life, we can see ________.A. great expectations in the students’ mindsB. seeming social progress in certain aspectsC. innocent friendship between boys and girlsD. positive attitudes to work and competitions65. By writing the passage the writer intends to reveal ________.A. the necessity of women’s educationB. the importance of women’s liberationC. the existence of gender discriminationD. the lives of three generations of women第五部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下面的短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

2019高考英语阅读理解专题选编（12）李仕才AIn 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher gave the class an assignment to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up.Jean’s father was a crop dusting pilot in the little farming community in N orthern California where she was raised, and Jean was very interested in airplanes and flying. She poured her heart into her report and included all of her dreams. She wanted to be a crop dusting pilot, make parachute jumps(跳伞), and be an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an "F" on it. The teacher told her it was a "fairy tale" and that none of the occupations she listed were women’s jobs. Jean was devastated and humiliated.One day in her senior year of high school, her English teacher Mrs Dorothy Slaton gave the class an assignment. "If you had unlimited money, unlimited access to the finest schools, and unlimited talents and abilities, what would you do?" Jean felt a rush of her old enthusiasm, and with excitement she wrote down all her old dreams. The teacher leaned forward over her desk and said, "You do have unlimited abilities and talents. When you leave school, if you don’t go for your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have what you want if you want it enough."The hurt and fear of years of discouragement went away because of what Mrs Slaton had said. Jean felt excited and a little scared. She stayed after class and went up to the teacher’s desk. Jean thanked Mrs Slaton and told her about her dream of becoming a pilot. Mrs Slaton half rose and slapped the desk top. "Then do it!" she said.So Jean did. It didn’t happen overnight. It took her 10 years of hard work. It wasn’t in Jean’s nature to stand up for herself when someone refused or humiliated her. Instead, she would quietly try to find another way.She became a private pilot and then flew planes as a co-pilot (副驾驶员). In 1978, she became one of the first three female pilot trainees ever accepted by United Airlines and one of the only 50 women airline pilots in the nation at that time. Some years later, Jean Harper became a Boeing 737 captain for United Airlines.1.When Jean Harper was in the third grade, _________.A.it was common for women to be airline pilotsB. her father advised her to be a pilot like him in the futureC. she was unsure about what she wanted to be when she grew upD. she was deeply hurt by her teacher’s comment on her dreams2.What was Mrs Slaton’s reaction when she learned about Jean Harper’s dream?A.
