大学英语四级长篇阅读专项强化真题试卷2(题后含答案及解析)
大学英语四级长篇阅读专项强化真题试卷2(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.Is it really OK to eat food that’s fallen on the floor?[A] When you drop a piece of food on the floor, is it really OK to eat if you pick it up within five seconds? An urban food myth contends that if food spends just a few seconds on the floor, dirt and germs won’ t have much of a chance to contaminate it. Research in my lab has focused on how food becomes contaminated, and we’ve done some work on this particular piece of wisdom.[B] While the “five-second rule” might not seem like the most pressing issue for food scientists to get to the bottom of, it’s still worth investigating food myths like this one because they shape our beliefs about when food is safe to eat.[C] So is five seconds on the floor the critical threshold (门槛) that separates a piece of eatable food from a case of food poisoning? It’s a bit more complicated than that. It depends on just how many bacteria can make it from floor to food in a few seconds and just how dirty the floor is.[D] Wondering if food is still OK to eat after it’s dropped on the floor is a pretty common experience. And it’s probably not a new one either. A well-known, but inaccurate, story about Julia Child may have contributed to this food myth. Some viewers of her cooking show, The French Chef, insist they saw Child drop lamb on the floor and pick it up, with the advice that if they were alone in the kitchen, their guests would never know.[E] In fact it was a potato pancake, and it fell on the stovetop, not on the floor. Child put it back in the pan, saying, “But you can always pick it up and if you’ re alone in the kitchen, who’s going to see it?” But the misremembered story persists. It’ s harder to pin down the origins of the oft-quoted five-second rule, but a 2003 study reported that 70% of women and 56% of men surveyed were familiar with the five-second rule and that women were more likely than men to eat food that had dropped on the floor.[F] So what does science tell us about what a few moments on the floor means for the safety of your food? The earliest research report on the five-second rule is attributed to Jillian Clarke, a high school student participating in a research project at the University of Illinois. Clarke and her colleagues introduced bacteria to floor tiles (瓷砖) and then placed cookies on the tiles for varying times. They reported bacteria were transferred from the tiles to the cookies within five seconds, but didn’ t report the specific amount of bacteria that made it from the tiles to the food.[G] But how many bacteria actually transfer in five seconds? In 2007, my lab at Clemson University published a study in the Journal of Applied Microbiology. We wanted to know if the length of time food is in contact with a contaminated surface affected the rate of transfer of bacteria to the food. To find out, we introduced bacteria to squares of tile, carpet or wood. Five minutes after that, we placed either bacon or bread on the surface for 5, 30 or 60 seconds, and then measured the number of bacteria transferred to the food. We repeated this exact procedure after the bacteria had been on the surface for 2, 4, 8 and 24 hours.[H] We found that the number of bacteria transferredto either kind of food didn’ t depend much on how long the food was in contact with the contaminated surface—whether for a few seconds or for a whole minute. The overall number of bacteria on the surface mattered more, and this decreased over time after the initial introduction. It looks like what’ s at issue is less how long your food stays on the floor and much more how contaminated with bacteria that patch of floor happens to be.[I] We also found that the kind of surface made a difference as well. Carpets, for instance, seem to be slightly better places to drop your food than wood or tile. When a carpet was contaminated, less than 1% of the bacteria were transferred. But when the food was in contact with tile or wood, 48% -70% of bacteria were.[J] Last year, a study from Aston University in the UK used nearly identical parameters (参数) to our study and found similar results. They also reported that 87% of people asked either would eat or had eaten food fallen on the floor.[K] Should you eat food fallen on the floor then? From a food safety standpoint, if you have millions or more bacteria on a surface, 0. 1% is still enough to make you sick. Also, certain types of bacteria are extremely harmful, and it takes only a small number to make you sick. For example, 10 bacteria or less of an especially deadly strain of bacteria can cause severe illness and death in people with compromised immune systems. But the chance of these bacteria being on most surfaces is very low.[L] And it’ s not just dropping food on the floor that can lead to bacterial contamination. Bacteria are carried by various “media”, which can include raw food, moist surfaces where bacteria have been left, our hands or skin and from coughing or sneezing (打喷嚏). Hands, foods and utensils (器皿) can carry individual bacteria living in communities contained within a protective film. These microscopic layers of deposits containing bacteria are known as biofilms and they are found on most surfaces and objects. Biofilm communities can harbor bacteria longer and are very difficult to clean. Bacteria in these communities also have an enhanced resistance to sanitizers (清洁剂) and antibiotics compared to bacteria living on their own.[M] So the next time you consider eating fallen food, the odds are in your favor that you can eat it without getting sick. But in the rare chance that there is a micro-organism that can make you sick on the exact spot where the food dropped, you can be fairly sure that the bug is on the food you are about to put in your mouth.[N] Research or common sense tells us that the best thing to do is keep your hands, utensils and other surfaces clean.1．A research project found bacteria made their way to the food on the floor in five seconds.正确答案：F解析：该段第二、三句提到，最早关于“5秒钟法则”的研究报告出自吉莉安-克拉克，在研究中克拉克和她的同伴将细菌引入瓷砖，然后将饼干放到地板上停留不同时长。

大学英语四级阅读训练试题附答案解析40篇(2)There are two factors which determine an individuals intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individualthe sort of environment in which he is reared. If an individual is handicapped envionmentally ,it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individuals intellingence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old , their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reated by parents of low intelligence in an isolatedcommunity with poor educational pooprtunities.Mark was reared inthe home of well-to-do parents who had been tocollege. He was read to as a child , sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually.This enviromental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were giben tesets to measure their intelligence. Marks I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities , the twins , having identical brains,would have tested at roughly the same level.1.This selection can best be titled_________.a.Measuring Your Intelligenceb.Intelligence and Environmentc.The Case of Peter and Markd.How the brain Influences Intelligence2.The beststatement of the main idea of this passage is that _____.a.human brains differ considerablyb.the brain a person is born with is improtant in determining his intelligencec.environment is crucial in determining a persons intelligenced. persons having identical brains will have roughly thesame intelligence3.According to the passage , the average I.Q.is _____.a.85b.100c.110d.1254.The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that _______.a.individual with identical brains seldom test at same levelb.an individuals intelligence is determined only by his enviromentck of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligenced.changes of enviroment produce changes in the structure of the brain5.This passage suggests that an individual s I.Q.______.a.can be predicted at birthThere are two factors which determine an individuals intelligence.

2021年6月英语四级阅读真题附答案-仔细阅读2
2021年6月英语四级阅读真题附答案:仔细阅读2Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Energy independence. It has a nice ring to it. Doesn't it? If you think so, you're not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession.“Energy independence”and its rhetorical (修辞的) companion “energy security” are, however, slippery concepts that are rarely though through. What is it we want independence from, exactly?Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere.The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle(涓涓细流)of biofuel(生物燃料)available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.Second, Americans have basically decided that they don't really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection. To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit. And although you don't read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy. When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices, At the same time, we derive massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.61. What does the author say about energy independence forAmerica?A) It sounds very attractive. C) It will bring oil prices down.B) It ensures national security. D) It has long been everyone's dream.62. What does the author think of biofuels?A) They keep America's economy running healthily.B) They prove to be a good alternative to petroleum.C) They do not provide a sustainable energy supply.D) They cause serious damage to the environment.63. Why does America rely heavily on oil imports?A) It wants to expand its storage of crude oil.B) Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.C) It wants to keep its own environment intact.D) Its own oil production falls short of demand.64. What does the author say about oil trade?A) It proves profitable to both sides. C) It makes for economic prosperity.B) It improves economic efficiency. D) It saves the cost of oil exploration.65. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A) To justify America's dependence on oil imports.B) To arouse Americans' awareness of the energy crisis.C) To stress the importance of energy conservation.D) To explain the increase of international oil trade.2021年6月英语四级仔细阅读真题答案本文原文出处：2021年12月7号 The Americans61、A 此题并非主旨题，按顺序原则及题干信息定位首段。

Grasmere.BSome parents will buy any high-tech toy if they think it will help their child, but researchers said puzzles help children with math-related skills.Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children at the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition after controlling for differences in parents’ inco me, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said.The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age.“The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate and translate shapes,” Levine said in a statement.The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than parents of girls.The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science.24. In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play?A. Building confidence.B. Developing spatial skills.C. Learning self-control.D. Gaining high-tech knowledge.25. What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment?A. Parents’age.B. Children’s imagination.C. Parents’ education.D. Child-parent relationship.26. How do boys differ from girls in puzzle play?A. They play with puzzles more often.B. They tend to talk less during the game.C. They prefer to use more spatial language.D. They are likely to play with tougher puzzles.27. What is the text mainly about?A. A mathematical method.B. A scientific study.C. A woman psychologist.D. A teaching program.CWhen you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn’t cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria（海狸鼠）.Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur— unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. “The ecosystem down there can’t handle this non-native species. It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us.” says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades, but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s, thecat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it’s not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton’s job these days is trying to promote fur.Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Model Paige Morgan says, “To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them— I think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She’s trying to come up with a label to attac h to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.28. What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?A. To promote guilt-free fur.B. To expand the fashion market.C. To introduce a new brand.D. To celebrate a winter holiday.29. Why are scientists concerned about nutria?A. Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.B. Nutria are an endangered species.C. Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.D. Nutria are illegally hunted.30. What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Boomed.B. Became mature.C. Remained stable.D. Crashed.31. What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?A. It’s formal.B. It’s risky.C. It’s harmful.D. It’s traditional.DI have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old. It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.I always read, using different voices, as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it! It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books.Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation.As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy and I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.32. Which word best describes the author’s relationship with books as a child?A. Cooperative.B. Uneasy.C. Inseparable.D. Casual.33. What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Pleasure from working in the library.B. Joy of reading passed on in the family.C. Wonderment from acting out the stories.D. A closer bond developed with the readers.34. What does the author call on other writers to do?A. Sponsor book fairs.B. Write for social media.C. Support libraries.D. Purchase her novels.35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Reading: A Source of Knowledge.B. My Idea about writing.C. Library: A Haven for the Young.D. My Love of the Library.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2024-2025牛津译林英语新教材初二阅读理解练习附答案
初二英语阅读理解（附答案）（1）A mysterious visitorA In October 2017，astronomers in Hawaii saw something surprising. Astrange object was moving through the solar system. They had seen many asteroid s before ,but this was something different. It was long and thin---like a cucumber. The object’s speed and direction also showed something surprising .This was an interstellar object ---the first ever seen .B The object was named ’Oumuamua---Hawaiian for “vistor fromafar,”Nobody is sure exactly what it is . The simplest idea is that ’Oumuamua is a strangely shaped piece of rock. Perhaps it was knocked out of a far -off star system. However ,astronomers saw that its speed increase d after passing the sun. Some scientists therefore suggest a different theory.C“’Oumuamua could be a piece of alien technology,”says Professor Abranham Loeb from Harvard University. Loeb believes this could explain the object’s long , thin shape, and also its change in speed .Maybe ’Oumuamua was a spaceship that came to explore our solar system.” All possibilities should be consider ed,”says Loeb.D’Oumuamua can no longer be seen from Earth. But astronomers continue to study the information they got from it . It is still not clear if the object was a large rock, or something else altogether .’Oumuamua will likely be a mystery for many years to come.Choose the best answer for each question.1.What is the reading mainly about?a.new technology to help scientists find asteroidsb.the largest asteroid ever seen by scientistsc.a myterious object that passed by Earth2.What did scientists learn from studying ’Oumuamua’s speed anddirection?a.It came from another star system.b.It was possible it could hit the Earth .c.It was an asteroid.3.What is NOT given as a reason why ’Oumuamua could be an alienspaceship ?a.the object’s size and shapeb.the object’s change in speedc.the object’s color4.In paragraph C , what does considered mean?a.explained in detailb.thought about carefullyc.chosen from a list5.According to the infographic on page 10, when was ’Oumuamua firstseen from Earth?a.as it entered the inner solar systemb.just before it passed the sunc.after it passed the sunAnswers:1.C2. A3. C4. B5. B（2）The Lost City Of AtlantisA Most people have heard the story of the lost city of Atlantis . But is anypart of the story true ?B Over two thousand years ago ,the Greek writer Plato wrote aboutAtlantis , an island in the Atlantic Ocean . The island’s people were very rich . They built a big city with many great buildings . But the people became greedy---they had many things ,but they still wanted more . So the gods became angry. Earthquakes and large waves began to strike the island. Finally, Atlantis sank into the sea.C Many explorer s have looked for Atlantis . In 2004, explorer RobertSarmast reported finding the remains of a city under the sea near Cyprus. However , Sarmast and other scientists later realized the structures he found under the sea were natural ,not man-made .Mark Adams ,author of the 2016 book Meet Me in Atlantis believe s the citywas in Morocco. Plato wrote about red and black stone circle s around the city.

They expected to find an elderly woman inside the house.However, after they went into the room and searched the house carefully, they couldn’t find anyone. The cries continued, so they started using thermal imagery technology. However, it detected(探测) no people, but two parrots sitting on a table. One was talking, while the other seemed much quieter. In the end, the noisy female parrot was rescued by the firemen, of course, along with the quieter male parrot.The female parrot was given oxygen by way of an adult oxygen mask. It immediately woke up and started to imitate(模仿) the sounds of the sirens. Luckily, no one was injured in the fire, and the fire was finally controlled to only one room in the house, according to the Middleton Fire Department.5．What can we infer from the underlined sentence?A．The fireman succeeded in finding an old woman in the house.B．The fireman failed to find an old woman in the house.C．The firemen thought an old woman was in the fire.D．The firemen had difficulty finding an old woman in the fire.6．Who were in the fire?A．None.B．A female parrot and a male parrot.C．Two male parrots.D．Two female parrots.7．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．The firemen didn’t save the parrots.B．The female parrot was given oxygen by an adult oxygen mask.C．The female parrot died in the end.D．The male parrot was as noisy as the other one.8．What type of text may the passage most probably be?A．An email.B．An interview.C．A diary.D．A news report.There was once a bat(蝙蝠). He wanted a comfortable life very much. One day, he looked through a window and saw a bird in its cage(笼子). It was given food and water without doing anything at all, so the bat decided to become a child’s pet.He flew to a park to make himself be seen by some children. However, the children paid little attention(注意) to him because he was a bat. So he acted like a bird and learned to sing from birds. One afternoon, he met a little boy who wore a pair of glasses. Then he became the pet of the boy.The bat was happy in his warm and comfortable cage. There he felt like the best of all bats, and the cleverest. Suddenly he started feeling hungry, but there were no insects for him to eat. There was only bird food, and he’d rather die than eat the bird food.Some days later, the bat succeeded in escaping from the cage and returned home. He was so embarrassed that he didn’t tell anyone what had happened. After that, he became a veryhard-working bat because he knew the comfortable life should be made by himself.9．Why did the bat decide to become a child’s pet?A．Because he was interested in children.B．Because he wanted to be liked by children.C．Because he wanted a life the same as the bird’s.D．Because he wanted to make friends with children.10．Which of the following is TRUE according to the story?A．To attract children’s attention, the bat learned to sing.B．Most of the children in the park noticed the bat at once.C．The bat was sure that people in the park liked him.D．One morning, the bat met a boy and soon became his pet.11．When the bat became the boy’s pet, ________.A．he had no insects to eatB．he didn’t feel happy at allC．he found the food wonderfulD．the boy gave him everything he wanted12．What can we learn from the story?A．Not all birds like to be kept as pets.B．Bats can hardly get on well with humans.C．Bats prefer eating insects to bird food.D．A comfortable life should be made by oneself.Even today, the British novelist Charles Dickens is loved by readers all over the world. Dickens created some unforgettable characters. You must have heard of or even read some of his novels：Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol and A Tale of Two Cities. A Tale of Two Cities has sold more than 200 million copies. Since 1897, there have been more than 300 film and TV adaptations of Dickens' works. A Christmas Carol alone has had nearly 50.Natalie Mcknight is a literature professor who studies Dickens and his works. She explains why the novelist has remained so popular.One important reason, she says, is that Dickens wrote from his heart. He tried hard to produce emotional effects among his readers. In his works, he paid special attention to the “little man” at the bottom of society in the UK, which deeply showed the social reality at that time. A Christmas Carol, for example, was written to make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society.People always enjoy works that make them laugh, cry and think. Many other 19thcentury novelists wrote entertaining works. However, few of them worked as hard as Dickens to touch the readers deeply.Dickens wrote about situations and emotions that still interest people today. Readers always enjoy seeing poor people rise and succeed.This year marks the 150th year of Dickens' death. It's another chance to remember this great writer. Will you read or reread some of his famous works?13．The paragraph 1 is mainly about ________．A．personality of Dickens B．appearance of DickensC．popularity of Dickens D．kindness of Dickens14．The purpose of writing this text is probably to ________.A．introduce Charles Dickens' life and deathB．encourage readers to read or reread Charles Dickens' worksC．present the similarities between Charles Dickens and other writersD．explain why Charles Dickens wrote so many books15．When people read Dickens' novels, they could ________．①meet the “little man” at the bottom of society in the UK①know about the social reality at that time①not be influenced by the works at all①think about how to make a difference to their societyA．①①①B．①①①C．①①①D．①①①Your mind has a deep connection with your body. If you are suffering from mental illness, it can influence your physical health.The following ways can help improve your mental(心理的) health.Practice optimism(乐观)The studies show that looking on the bright side of life is really good for you. People with optimism have a 35% less chance of having a heart disease. They are more likely to eat a healthy diet, exercise very often, have a stronger body and even live longer.Start volunteeringV olunteering reduces stress and improves your happiness. It can reduce the risk of cognitive(认知的)harm. Even if you have little time to offer, just the act of giving has been shown to improve your health, possibly by reducing your sense of pain.Be gratefulWe heard a lot about the advantages of thankfulness in the past. Our happiness protects us against depression which may make us feel sad and do nothing. One of the best ways to make thankfulness a part of your life is to keep a daily diary. Before you go to bed, write down any positive experience you had that day, no matter how small it is.Keep your social connectionsPeople who are more socially connected to family, friends and community are physically healthier, and they live longer than people who are less well connected.16．If you do some volunteering work, you will ________.A．have more pressure B．have less pressureC．feel more painful D．be full of sadness17．The underlined word “depression” means “________” in the passage.A．upset B．happiness C．anger D．excitement 18．Who do you think the writer is?A．A teacher.B．A singer.C．An engineer.D．A doctor. 19．What might be the best title(标题) for the passage?A．How to live longerB．How to keep a stronger bodyC．How to be happyD．How to improve mental healthWhen I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm (蚂蚁窝). First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels (地道). I was amazed that each one knew well what to do. Each had its own job.On the fifth day, something terrible happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although (虽然) the ants kept alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was frightened as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand (忍受) that their tunnels were gone.Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired (钦佩) for their hard work.But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.Giving up is not a good choice.20．What did the writer’s family do for him when he was seven?A．They built a farm of ants.B．They bought a few ants.C．They caught a lot of ants.D．They found an ant city.21．Which of the following is WRONG according to (根据) the passage?A．Giving up isn’t a good way when we meet trouble.B．Like people, teamwork is very important for the ants.C．The ants didn’t die one by one after the tunnels were destroyed.D．The writer knocked the glass box over because he put his face so close to the glass farm. 22．What did the writer come to realize a few years later?A．Working together is useless.B．Teamwork is important.C．Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life,and must be accepted.D．Working alone is amazing. 23．What is the best title for the passage?A．Ants Fear Adversity B．My Family and AntsC．Giving Up in Adversity D．Don’t give up anytimeLittle stream (小河) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing (消失) into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.”“That’s because you stick to what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,’’ said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are sometimes. 24．Before the stream reached the desert, she didn’t ________.A．believe in herself B．meet any diffcultiesC．want to cross the desert D．worry about the journey to the ocean 25．Who encouraged the little stream when she felt sad?A．The desert.B．The sun.C．The mountain.D．The breeze. 26．What does the underlined phrase stick to in third paragraph mean?A．粘贴B．坚持C．放弃D．展示27．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Give up what you have.B．How to cross the desert.C．Change means success.D．The little stream and the desert.There was a young woman. She was proud of growing flowers in her yard. She had been brought up by her grandmother, who had taught her to love and care for flowers. So her yard was the most beautiful one in her village.One day, while looking through a flower list that she often ordered from, a picture of a plant immediately caught her eyes. She had never seen a flower like it before. “I have to have it,” she said to herself, and she immediately ordered it.When it arrived, she found a place to plant it. She planted it at the bottom of a stone wall at the back of her yard. It grew vigorously(旺盛地), with beautiful green leaves all over it. Day after day, she continued to take care of it, but there were no flowers.One morning, as she stood looking at the plant, she felt sad. She wanted to know why her plant had not bloomed(开花).However, at this moment, her disabled neighbour invited her to his yard and said, “Thank you so much). You can’t imagine how much I have enjoyed the flowers that you planted. “ The young woman walked through the gate into her neighbour’s yard. She saw that on the other side of the wall the plant was full of flowers.They were, indeed, the most beautiful flowers she had ever seen. The plant had grown up through the crevices(裂缝)in the wall.Just because you can’t see the results of your labour, it does not mean that there isn’t any fruit. 28．What was the young woman proud of?A．looking after her grandmother.B．Helping others.C．Growing flowers.D．Selling flowers.29．How did she feel when she found her plant had not bloomed?A．Lonely.B．Unhappy.C．Surprised.D．Bored.30．Why was the disabled neighbour thankful to the young woman?A．Because she often gave him some tasty food.B．Because she always helped him to do the housework.C．Because she taught him how to plant flowers.D．Because he enjoyed the flowers that she planted.参考答案1．C2．A 3．B 4．C5．C 6．B 7．B 8．D9．C 10．A 11．A 12．D13．C 14．B 15．C16．B 17．A 18．D 19．D20．A 21．C 22．B 23．D24．D25．A26．B27．C28．C29．B30．D第1页共9页。
英语阅读(二)自考题-19_真题(含答案与解析)-交互
英语阅读(二)自考题-19(总分100, 做题时间90分钟)PART ONEⅠ.Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this part of the test, there are several passages. Following each passage, there are some questions with four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and then write the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet.Passage OneLet's take the orthodox definition of the word bargain. It is something offered at a low and advantageous price. It is an opportunity to buy something at a lower price than it is really worth. A more recent definition is: a bargain is a dirty trick to extort money from the pockets of silly and innocent people.I have never attended a **pany's board meeting in my life, but I feel certain that discussion often takes the following lines. The cost of producing a new—for example—toothpaste would make 80p the decent price for it, so we will market it at ￡1.20. It is not a bad toothpaste (not specially good either, but not bad), and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with; but the attraction of novelty soon fades, so sales will fall. When thatstarts to happen we will reduce the price to ￡1.15. And we will rush to buy it even though it still costs forty-three per cent more than its fair price.Sometimes it is not 5p OFF but 1p OFF. What breathtaking impertinence to advertise 1p OFF your soap or washing powder or dog food or whatever. Even the poorest old-age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult, but he doesn't. A bargain must not be missed. To be offered a "gift" of one penny is like being invited to dinner and offered one single pea (tastily cooked), and nothing else. Even if it represented a real reduction it would be an insult. Still, people say, one has to have washing powder (or whatever) and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper. When I was a boy in Hungary a man was accused of murdering someone for the sake of one pengo, the equivalent of a shilling, and pleaded guilty. The judge was outraged, "To kill a man for a shilling!... What can you say in your defense?" The murderer replied: "A shilling here..., a shilling there..." And that's what today's shopper says, too: "A penny here,..., a penny there..."The real danger starts when utterly unnecessary things become "bargains". There is a huge number who just cannot resist bargains and sales. Provided they think they are getting a bargain they will buy clothes they will never wear, furniture they have no space for.Old ladies will buy roller-skates and nonsmokers will buy pipe-cleaners. And I once heard of a man who bought an electric circular saw as a bargain and cut off two of his fingers the next day. But he had no regrets: the saw had been truly cheap.Quite a few people actually believe that they make money onsuch bargains. A lady I know, otherwise a charming and seemingly sane girl, sometimes tells me stories such as this: "I have had a lucky day today. I bought a dress for ￡120, reduction from ￡400; I bought a suitcase for ￡40, reduced from ￡120 and I bought a beautiful Persian carpet for ￡600, reduced from ￡900." Perhaps she may add vaguely that she has been a trifle extravagant, but it will never occur to her that she actually wasted ￡760. She feels as though she has made ￡600. She also feels, I am sure, that if she had more time for shopping, she could make a living out of it.Some people buy in bulk because it is cheaper. At certain moments New Zealand lamb chops may be 3p cheaper if you buy half a ton of them, so people rush to buy a freezer just to find out later that it is too small to hold half a ton of New Zealand lamb. I once knew a couple who could not resist buying sugar in bulk. They thought it a tremendous bargain, not to be missed, so they bought enough sugar for their lifetime and the lifetime of their children andgrandchildren. When the sugar arrived they didn't know where to store it —until they realized that their loo was a very spacious one. So that was where they piled up their sugar. Not only did their guests feel rather strange whenever they were offered sugar to put into their coffee, but the loo became extremely sticky.To offer bargains is a commercial trick to make the poorpoorer. When greedy fools fall for this trick, it serves them fight. All the same, if bargains were prohibited by law our standard of living would immediately rise by 7.39 per cent.SSS_SIMPLE_SIN1.The word "bargain" in a common sense means ______.• A. buying something at lower price• B. paying the seller the affordable price• C. refusing to pay when the price is high• D. buying something at higher priceA BC D分值: 2答案:A[解析] 根据文章第一段第二、三句，“It is something offered...”可知，“bargain”的意思是指以低廉优惠的价格提供的商品，也可以说它是以低于其实际价值的价钱购买某物的机会。

AMy Favourite BooksJo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series （系列）of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.MatildaRoald DahlI once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull，are equally fumy and frightening, but they're also aspirational.After DarkHaruki MurakamiIt’s about two sisters —Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse "night people" who are hiding secrets.Gone GirlGillian FlynnThere was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did, but the horror story is brilliant. There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable.The StandStephen KingThis is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world's population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.21. Who does "I" refer to in the text?A. Stephen King.B. Gillian Flynn.C. Jo Usmar.D. Roald Dahl.22. Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri?A. Cosmopolitan.B. Matilda.C. After Dark.D. The Stand.23. What kind of book is Gone Girl?A. A folk tale.B. A biography.C. A love story.D. A horror story.B"You can use me as a last resort（选择）, and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it." This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids' lacrosse（长曲棍球）club.I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on… At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, "Alright. Yes, I’ll do it."I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community（社区）as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. V olunteering just feels so good.In that sense, I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I’d freely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?24. What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph l?A.She knows little about the club.B.She isn't good at sports.C.She just doesn't want to volunteer.D.She's unable to meet her schedule.25. What does the underlined phrase "tug at the heartstrings" in paragraph 2 mean?A.Encourage team work.B.Appeal to feelings.C.Promote good deeds.D.Provide advice.26. What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3?A.She gets interested in lacrosse.B.She is proud of her kids.C.She’ll work for another season.D.She becomes a good helper.27. Why does the author like doing volunteer work?A.It gives her a sense of duty.B.It makes her very happy.C.It enables her to work hard.D.It brings her material rewards.CMarian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself, quietlyreading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s "me" time. And like more Americans, she’s not alone.A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half（53 percent）have breakfast alone and nearly half（46 percent）have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore, 74 percent, according to statistics from the report."I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know?" Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. "Today, I just wanted some time to myself," she said.Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction （交流）. "I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week," he said. "It's a chance for self-reflection, You return to work recharged and with a plan."That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. "It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology," said Laurie Demeritt, whose company provided the statistics for the report.28. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?A. Food variety.B. Eating habits.C. Table manners.D. Restaurant service.29. Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch?A. To meet with her coworkers.B.To catch up with her work.C. To have some time on her own.D.To collect data for her report.30. What do we know about Mazoleny?A. He makes videos for the bar.B. He’s fond of the food at the bar.C. He interviews customers at the bar.D.He’s familiar with the barkeeper.31. What is the text mainly about?A. The trend of having meals alone.B. The importance of self-reflection.C. The stress from working overtime.D. The advantage of wireless technology.DBacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms（微生物）from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem? It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It depending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution（解决方案）. “We don’t give the students any breaks. Th ey have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold, a project manager."There are no tests," Gordon says. "There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than 'Are you working towards your goal?' Basically, it’s 'I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.' Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and... it’s not a very nice thing at times. It’s a hard business review of your product."Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact（影响）on college admissions and practical life skills. "These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back.I don’t teach." And that annoying bacteria? Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.32.

What will the world of the future be like? There are plenty of people who are happy to give their opinion of what we will be doing in 2050. Here are two predictions about the world of tomorrow.When we dream about the future, many like to think of owning a personal flying car. The advantages are obvious. This technology would allow total freedom of movement. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, some people believe there will be problems with traffic control. If the cars become popular, there is likely to be air traffic jam. Another big problem is mechanical failure. What will happen if the cars stop working? These are problems we must expect if flying cars become a reality.Three-dimensional printing is another new technology with exciting possibilities. 3D printers are used to build an object with liquid plastic.They build the object layer by layer until it is complete. Car companies already use 3D printers to make life-size models of car parts, and medical companies use the technology to make man-made body parts. As we move into the future, 3D printing will revolutionize the way we shop, the way we manufacture and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such equipment will be extremely expensive.So in the future, we might be able to fly to work or print out new shoes. Although there are some problems to solve before this will be possible, we can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer for millions of people.（1）What is the passage mainly about?A. Environmental protection.B. The world of tomorrow.C. Advantages of technology.（2）What do we learn from the passage?A. Some people think technology development may bring new problemsB. 3D printing can bring great changes to our life and its equipment is cheap.C. The flying cars won't bring air traffic jam even when they become popular.（3）What is the correct structure of the passage? （P1=Paragraph1）A. B. C.（4）What does the underlined word "they" refer to?A. Car companies.B. 3D print.C. Body parts.（5）We can infer that the writer ________ about the future life with technology.A. doesn't careB. feels hopefulC. feels disappointed【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）A（4）B（5）B【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文主要介绍很多人对2050年对未来世界的两个预测。

阅读强化训练(二)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解The medicine that I take for my rheumatoid arthritis(风湿性关节炎) causes me to wake up in the middle of the night with a dry mouth.January 15，2018, was no different.I woke up at 2：30 a．m. needing water.I was walking back upstairs from the kitchen when I heard my American bulldog, Rock.Whatever Rock was doing down there, it made enough noise for me to go to him.By the time I made it to the bottom of the stairs, he was running up, and he never came up the stairs, no matter what.I think that was his way of telling me, “We’ve got to go back up.”When I got to the top of the stairs, I turned around and saw a light on, but I didn’t remember leaving one on.I walked downstairs again，and that’s when I saw fire.I immediately shouted to my wife to wake up and get our three kids.I then broke the window, got everybody out on the roof and threw a blanket out there so we wouldn’t slip off.Then I started screaming for help.But help never came.I’m scared of heights and have physical issues, because of my rheumatoid arthritis, but I couldn’t let my family burn up.So I jumped off the roof and got the wind knocked out of me when I landed.I found our ladder, placed it against the house, and climbed back up to the roof.I wrapped my arms around my daughter and carried my ninemonthold son with my teeth, by his little sleeper.Then I climbed down the ladder.Once on the ground，I had my little girl hold her brother.Then I went back up again and got my wife.I tried to get my dog, but I never saw him again.I’m not a hero.I’m just an ordinary person who would help anybody.This happened to be the time when I helped my own family.I live to protect my family.Just like Rock—he lived to protect us.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

英语阅读练习题附答案二If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile,you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems.Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view.Depending on whom you are addressing,the problems will be different.If you are talking to agroup of managers,you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries；alternatively if you are addressing secretaries,you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses.Here is an example,which Iheard at anurses'convention,of astory which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors.A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around bySt.Peter.He sees wonderful accommodations,beautiful gardens,sunny weather,and so on.Everyone is very peaceful,polite and friendly until,waiting in aline for lunch,the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by aman in awhite coat,who rushes to the head of the line,grabs his food and stomps over to atable by himself."Who is that?"the new arrival asked St.Peter."On,that's God,"came the reply,"but sometimes he thinks he's adoctor."If you are part of the group which you are addressing,you will be in aposition to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and it'll be appropriate for you to make apassing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman's notorious bad taste in ties.With other audiences you mustn't attempt to cut in with humor as they will resent an outsider making disparaging remarks abouttheir canteen or their chairman.You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system.Ifyou feel awkward being humorous,you must practice so that it becomes more natural.Include afew casual and apparently off-the-cuff remarks which you can deliver in arelaxed and unforced manner.Often it's the delivery which causes the audience to smile,so speak slowly and remember that araised eyebrow oran unbelieving look may help to show that you are making alight-hearted remark.Look for the humor.It often comes from the unexpected.A twist on afamiliar quote"If at first you don't succeed,give up"or aplay on words or on asituation.Search for exaggeration and understatements.Look at your talk and pick out afew words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor.1.To make your humor work,you should.A.take advantage of different kinds of audience.B.make fun of the disorganized people.C.address different problems to different people.D.show sympathy for your listeners.2.The joke about doctors implies that,in the eyes of nurses,they are.A.impolite to new arrivals.B.very conscious of their godlike role.C.entitled to some privileges.D.very busy even during lunch hours.3.It can be inferred from the text that public services.A.have benefited many people.B.are the focus of public attention.C.are an inappropriate subject for humor.D.have often been the laughing stock.4.To achieve the desired result,humorous stories should be delivered.A.in well-worded language.B.as awkwardly as possible.C.in exaggerated statements.D.as casually as possible.5.The best title for the text may be.e Humor Effectively.B.Various Kinds of Humor.C.Add Humor to Speech.D.Different Humor Strategies.参考答案：C BD DA ldquo；死者"家属流着泪如是说。
"死者"名叫尤国英，四川人，一名在台州路桥负责清理垃圾的外来务工人员。
10月24日，尤国英因突发脑溢血被送往医院，3天内花去1万多元医药费。
同在路桥打工的家人眼见尤国英的病情没有明显好转，而他们又无法再筹集到医疗费，无奈之下，家人决定放弃治疗，打算先将尤国英送往所住出租房安置，再想办法提前送她回四川老家，但房东拒绝病人进门。
走投无路，家属决定将尤国英送往殡仪馆等死。
那天，现场围观的群众了解情况后纷纷解囊，捐款3380元，尤国英再次住进了医院。
这是一个外来务工人员无钱治病，又得不到医疗保险救济而采取极端方式的例子，但却很典型地反映了目前外来务工人员在医疗保险方面的权利缺失所引发的问题。
长期以来，我国的医疗保险制度主要分为城镇职工医疗保险制度和农村居民合作医疗保险制度。
《台州市区城镇职工基本医疗保险暂行规定》第二条指出："城镇所有用人单位及其职工都应当依法参加基本医疗保险，实行属地管理"。
但随着经济的发展，一部分农村居民转移到城市务工，由于二元户籍制的规定，他们无法取得城市户口，不能被纳入城镇职工的行列，当然也就无法获得相应的医疗保险待遇。
4.做蛋糕生意的郭望宣从河北老家来京已经6年，去年他在崇文区买了自己的房子。
他告诉记者："我算幸运，通过劳动致富能在首都买上房子。
"买房后，郭先生就没再办暂住证，他老有一种抵触心理，感觉自己被歧视。
另外，办暂住证时还要带居委会证明和各种证件，挺麻烦，不到万不得已他不会去办。
暂住证是根据《中华人民共和国户口登记条例》和公安部《暂住证申领办法》的有关规定，由暂住地公安机关发给暂住人员的合法身份证明。
《暂住证申领办法》第三条明确规定了暂住证的发放对象，即离开常住户口所在地、拟在暂住地居住一个月以上年满十六周岁的有关人员；第六条规定了暂住证的有效期限最长为一年，暂住期满需继续暂住的，应当在期满前办理延期或换领手续。
因此，尽管郭先生在北京购买了自己享有所有权的房子，但因为户口的限制，根据规定他仍然应当每年办理暂住证，缴纳办证费用，也就是说，他始终要"暂住"在自己的房子里。
在广大外来务工人员当中，有能力在城市里买房的当然不多。
北京市实行经济适用房政策以来，购买经济适用房的前提条件是必须有北京市户口。
