大学英语四级阅读理解试题及答案(三)
大学英语四级阅读理解试题及答案（三）十一What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow , orange ,red? If you do ,you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet,shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know,because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tells us, among other facts,that we do not choose our favourite clour as we grow up----we are born with our preference.If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.Colours do influence our moods----there is no doubt about it .A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand ,black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ----until it was repainter green.The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply ;perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and bright colours make people not only hppier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better,harder ,and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.1."You would rather follow than red" means_______.a.you don't like to follow othersb.you would be a member rather than a leaderc.you would be afraid of following othersd.you would like to be a leader rather than a follower2.If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer________.a.red to yellowb.blue to orangec.red to greyd.blue to yellow3."They tell us, among other facts,that we don't choose our favourite colours as we grow up." "Among other facts" means______.a.besides other factsb.in regard to other factsc.not considering other factsd.according to other facts4.Which of the following is facts?a.People's preference of one colour to another is instinctb.People's preference of one colour to another is acquired as they grow up.c.More people happen to love brown because they saw something brown when they were bornd.Colours have little influence on our moods5.Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River near london to others because of _______.a.its shapeb.its structurec.its colourd.its building materials答案：bcaac十二Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on street. No man who thought of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should leave one in your lap,or on the table?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a wonman or offer their seat to a woman , and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is , if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock , the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable-----especially if they are your guests. When the food was served , one of the guests strated to eat his peas with a knife . The other guests were amused or shocked , but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.1.If one has accepted a dinner invitation ,what should he do if he is tobe late for the dinner?a.He should find an excuseb.He should adk for excuse.c.He should say sorryd.He should telephone to explain his being late.2."It would have been bad manners to make his guests feel foolish or uncomfortable."

It was transferred from France to Spain, returned to France,and finally sold by Napoleon to the United States in 1803. The city was the site of a famous battle fought in 1815 between the British, who hoped to control it , and the Americans under General And rew Jackson.The riverbed of the Mississippi is constantly silting and the river is now actually higher than the city. Levees hold back the river and giant pumps are used to move water from the city into the river.Although New Orleans haas beena part of the United States for almost two centuries, its population takes great pride in its French heritage. Louisiana still retains parts of the Code Napoleon which,form many years,was its only law.New Orleans is carefree city and it boasts its hot, spicy Creole seafood and its native Dixieland Jazz. The jackson Square neighborhood maintains its French colonial homes and in other sections are pre-Civil War mansions. Visitors are surprised to find that behind this interesting facade of yesteryear, is a busy industrial and port city. Grain and coal come from the Midwest and foreigh cargoes are unloaded here. New Orleans is no longer a sleepy Southern town----but it's still fun to visit.1.What accounts for the levees and pumps in New Orleans?a.The Mississippi frequently floods the city.b.The riverbed has raised inthe past 200 years.c.The torrential rains flood the city frequently.d.The high humidity cannot otherwise be comtrolled.2.The battle of New Orleans was fought by jackson against______.a.Franceb.Britainc.Spaind.The North3.The Code Napoleon was _______.a.an agreement to sell Louisianab.a body of lawsc.a city pland.a military code for the army4.Which of the following elements does not apply to the attiude of the inhabitants of New Orleans?a.Pride in their French heritage.b.A desire to retain picturesque colonial buildings.c.A refusal to engage in trade and commerced.A praising of Dixieland Jazz.5.Tourists visiting New Orleans are surprised to encounter_____.a.Creole foodb.Dixieland jazzc.bustling cityd.authentic colonial homes答案： bbbcc十四The United States is on the verge of losing its leading place in the world's technology. So says more than one study in recent years. One of the reasons for this decline is the parallel decline in the number of U.S. scientists and engineers.Since 1976,employment of scientists and engineers is up 85 percent. This trend is expected to continue. However, the trend shows that the number of22-year-olds--the near term source of future PH.D.s-is declining. Further adding to the problem is the increased competition for these candidates from other fields-law,medicine,business,etc. While the number of U.S. PH.D.s in science and engineering declines,the award of PH.D.s to foreign nationals is increasing rapidly.Our inability to motivate students to pursue science and engineering careers at the graduate level is compounded because of the intense demand industry has for bright Bachelor's and Master's degree holders. Too often, promising PH.D.candidates, confronting the cost and financial sacrifice of pursuing their education,find the attraction of industry irresistible.1.The U.S.will come to lose its leading place in technology probably because ________.a. the number of PH.D. degree holders is decliningb. the number of scientists and engineers is decreasingc. the number of 22-year-ilds is decliningd. scientists and engineers are not employed2.The field of science and engineering is facing a competition from ________ .a. technologyb. foreign nationalsc. such fields as law, medicine and businessd. postgraduatesrge-scale enterprises now need _______.a. bright graduates and postgraduatesb. new inventionsc. advanced technologyd. engineers4.Many promising postgraduates are unwilling to pursue a PH.D. degree because _________.a. they are not encouraged to be engaged in scienceb. industry does not require PH.D. holdersc. they have financial difficultiesd. they will spend much time and energy completing PH.D.5.PH.D. candidates "find the attraction of industry irresistible" means that _________.a. they find industry is attracting more and more college studentsb. they don't think they can prevent themselves from working for industryc. they cannot resist any attraction from all sidesd. they cannot work for industry any longer答案：bcadb十五Newdays,a standard for measuring power has changed.These changes foretell a new standard for measuring power.No longer will a nation's political influence be based solely on the strength of its military forces. Of course, military effectiveness will remain a primary primary measure of power.But political influence is also closely tied to industrial competitiveness. It's often said that without its military the Soviet Union would really be a third-world nation. The new standard of opwer and influence that is evolving now places more emphasis on the ability of a country to compete effectively in the economic markets of the world.America must recognize this new course of events. Our success in shaping world events over the past 40 years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt technology and to take advantage of the capabilities of our people for the purposeof maintaining peace. Our industrial prowess over most of this period was unchallenged. It is ironic that it is just this prowess that has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership.The competitiveness of America's industrial base is an issue bigger than the Department of Defense and is going to require the efforts of the major institutional forces in our society-government,industry,and education. That is not to say that the Defense Department will not be a strong force in the process because we will. But we simply cannot be, nor should we be, looked upon by others as the savior of American industry.1. Now a nation's political influence depends on _________.a. the strength of its military forcesb. its ability to compete in industryc. economic marketsd. both a and b2. The Soviet Union was not listed as a third-world nation just because of _________.a. its powerful military forcesb. its vast landc. its industrial competitivenessd. its contributions to world peace3. The author indicates that ______ is threatening American political power.a. other countriesb. the declining U.S. industrial basec. a new standard for measuring powerd. less advanced technology4. America succeeded in shaping world events over past 40 years probably because of ___________.a. its ability to adapt technologyb. its ability to take advantage of the capabilities of its peoplec. its ability to compete in the world marketsd. both a and b5. The purpose of writing this article is __________.a. to draw the readers' attention to a new standard for measuring powerb. to demonstrate American political influence in the worldc. to emphasize that efforts must be made to strengthen the declining U.S. industrial based. to show American industrial prowess答案：dabdc。

2022年考研英语一真题答案之阅读理解真题Text3(附完整版答案)
2022年考研英语一真题答案之阅读理解真题Text3（附完整版答案）2022年考研英语一阅读理解真题Text 3As a historian who’s always searching for the text or the image that makes us re-evaluate the past, I’ve become preoccupied with looking for photographs that show our Victorian ancestors smiling (what better way to shatter the image of 19th-century prudery?). I’ve found quite a few, and—since I started posting them on Twitter—they have been causing quite a stir. People have been surprised to see evidence that Victorians had fun and could, and did, laugh. They are noting that the Victorians suddenly seem to become more human as the hundred-or-so years that separate us fade away through our common experience of laughter.Of course, I need to concede that my collection of ‘Smiling Victorians’ makes up only a tiny percentage of the vast catalogue of photographic portraiture created between 1840 and 1900, ... How do we explain this trend?During the 1840s and 1850s, in the early days of photography, exposure times were notoriously long: the daguerreotype photographic method (producing an image on a silvered copper plate) could take several minutes to complete, .., and so a non-committal blank stare became the norm.But exposure times were much quicker by the 1880s, and the introduction of the Box Brownie and other portable cameras meant that, though slow by today’s digitalstandards, the exposure was almost instantaneous. Spontaneous smiles were relatively easy to capture by the 1890s, so we must look elsewhere for an explanation of why Victorians still hesitated to smile.One explanation might be the loss of dignity displayed through a cheesy grin. “Nature gave us lips to conceal our teeth,” ran one popular Victorian saying, alluding to the fact that before the birth of proper dentistry, mouths were often in a shocking state of hygiene. A flashing set of hea lthy and clean, regular ‘pearly whites’ was a rare sight in Victorian society, the preserve of the super-rich (and even then, dental hygiene was not guaranteed).A toothy grin (especially when there were gaps or blackened teeth) lacked class: drunks, tramps and music hall performers might gurn and grin with a smile as wide as Lewis Carroll’s gum-exposing Cheshire Cat, but it was not a becoming look for properly bred persons. Even Mark Twain, a man who enjoyed a hearty laugh, said that when it came to photog raphic portraits there could be “nothing more damning than a silly, foolish smile fixed forever”.31. According to Paragraph 1, the author’s posts on Twitter ______.A. changed people’s impression of the VictoriansB. highlighted social media’s role in Vic torian studiesC. re-evaluated the Victorians’ notion of public imageD. illustrated the development of Victorian photography32. What does the author say about the Victorian portraits he has collected?A. They are in popular use among historians.B. They are rare among photographs of that age.C. They mirror 19th-century social conventions.D. They show effects of different exposure times.33. What might have kept the Victorians from smiling for pictures in the 1890s?A. Their inherent social sensitiveness.B. Their tension before the camera.C. Their distrust of new inventions.D. Their unhealthy dental condition.34. Mark Twain is quoted to show that the disapproval of smiles in pictures was ______.A. a deep-rooted beliefB. a misguided attitudeC. a controversial viewD. a thought-provoking idea35. Which of the following questions does the text answer?A. Why did most Victorians look stern in photographs?B. Why did the Victorians start to view photographs?C. What made photography develop slowly in the Victorian period?D. How did smiling in photographs become a post-Victorian norm?答案：B、A、A、B、C。

英语三级试题：阅读理解篇三I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching （紧握）at one anothers hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled （聚在一起）round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon （蚕茧）into a larger_cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up againstthe popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of todays parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you dont care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.1.In this passage, the author wants to tell ________.A.teenagers to try to pursue their real selvesB.readers to try to be popular with people aroundC.parents to try to control and guide their childrenD.people to try to understand and respect each other2.The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers ________.A.growing away from their parentsB.following the popularity trendC.walking a new way on their ownD.turning to their friends for help3.The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to ________.A.the distractive and variable societyB.the dazzling music worldC.the parental care and loveD.the popularity wave in the society4.What does the author think of advertisements? chayiA.Convincing.B.Instructive.C.Influential.D.Authoritative.5.According to the author, what might happen when a teenager stands up against the popularity wave and follows his/her own path?A.He/She falls behind the time.B.He/She loses good friends.C.He/She faces all kinds of criticism.D.He/She gains valuable popularity.以上内容就是小编为您提供的3篇《三级英语阅读习题》，希望对您的写作有所帮助。
英语阅读理解第三篇
The computer virus is an outcome of the computer overgrowth in the 1980s. The term computer virus comes from the likeness between the viruses that harm the body and the harmful viruses. However, computer viruses are small programs. They reproduce by attaching a copy of themselves to another program.Once attached to another program, viruses then look for other programs to “infect”. In this way , the virus can spread quickly throughout a single computer or an entire network when it infects a LAN or a multi-user system. At some point, the virus attacks according to how it is programmed. The timing of the attack can be linked to a number of situations, such an a certain time or date, the presence of a particular object, the security level of the user, and the number of times a program is used .Similarly, the pattern of attack comes in different ways .The so-called“harmless” viruses might simply show a message, like the one that infected IBM’s main computer system in 1987 with Christmas greetings. Harmful viruses are designed to damage the system. They can wipe out data, cross out information , or rewrite the hard disk.Main Types of VirusesThere are four main types of viruses: shell, intrusive(侵扰的),operating system, and source code(源代码).Shell viruses wrap themselves around a host program, but don’t change it .Shell programs are easy to write, which is why about half of viruses are of this type.Intrusive viruses invade an existing program and actually place a part of them into the host program. Intrusive viruses are hard to write and very difficult to remove without damaging the host file.Shell and intrusive viruses usually attack executable program files—those with a .com or .exe extension, although data files are also at risk.Operating system viruses work by replacing part of the operating system with their wen code. They are very difficult to write and have the ability, once loaded, to take total control of your system.Source ode viruses are intrusive programs that are inserted into a source program such as those written in Pascal prior to the program being followed. They are the least common viruses because they are not only hard to write, but also have a limited number of hosts compared with the other types.Be Cautious About the Second Network VirusesDo you believe it? Network viruses can steal money! And they are coming for your computer right now. So far the Internet has become the main channel through which computer viruses spread. Even without getting information from the network, your computer can be infected by the second network computer viruses, which are hidden in some machines on the network.The virus that can steal your money is a kind of the second network viruses. It was designed and inserted in some machines on the network. When your computer is linked to one of these machines, the virus will invade your hard disk and search whether Intuit Quicken, an accounting program, is installed. One of this accounting program’s functions is to transfer accounts automatically. Once the program is infected, your money will be transferred to an additional account opened by the virus program without anybody knowing it.puter viruses are small programs, which________.A)are similar to the viruses that harm the human bodyB)invade a living cell and produce other virusesC)reproduce by attaching a copy of themselves to another programD)come into being during the computer overgrowth in the 1990s2.Viruses can infect other programs if only they are_______.A)affected by another programB)spread throughout a computerC)attached to another programD)attacked by other programs3.The four main types of viruses for the purpose of_________.A)intrusiveB)operating systemC)source codeD)hard disk4.What do intrusive viruses place into a host program?A)The host fileB)Some virusC) A part of the programD)An existing program5.What must an operating system virus do before overtaking an operating system?A)Load onto the systemB)Take control of your systemC)Replace its codeD)Write an operating system。

未命名初三英语阅读3On Monday, I stopped my car in front of my son David’s middle school. He jumped onto the back seat and he asked me to help his study for his chemistry test.“Mom, I need to remember all the chemistry experiments. And I can hardly make it.”“You know, memorizing seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in exams if you work on trying to understand the knowledge.”David was open to my advice. it was Monday afternoon and we had two nights to study before the test on Wednesday. I suggested a plan. “Tomorrow night, you are going to teach the chemistry experiments to me. Tonight, read the textbook. Prepare to teach.”Asking him to teach me was an unusual idea, but I made a decision to do it. Studies show teaching somebody else is a very useful way to learn. Even if you don’t do the teaching, the act of preparing to teach leads to more learning than just trying your best to memorize the knowledge.On Tuesday afternoon, David sat down with his chemistry book facing me and said, “Okay Mum, let’s study.” I wanted him to teach me. But false starts happened. I couldn’t be too hard on him. So instead we started with me asking him some simple questions. He knew some but not others. When he didn’t know the answers, I encouraged him to check the book.He started checking things that didn’t make sense. And he was actively trying to test his understanding. I was happy to see it. He wasn’t memorizing; he was trying to make sense of things, which was exactly what I had hoped he would do.1．Why did David ask his mother to help his study for his chemistry exam?A．Because he didn’t pass the chemistry test.B．Because he had trouble remembering the chemistry experiments.C．Because he knew little about the chemistry experiments.D．Because he couldn’t understand his teacher in class.2．In the mother’s opinion, which was the best way to study?A．Memorizing.B．Testing.C．Questioning.D．Understanding. 3．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to “__________”.A．making him remember the knowledge B．asking him some simple questions C．asking him to teach me D．encouraging him to check the book 4．What does the writer mean by saying “I couldn’t be too hard on him.” in Paragraph 6?A．It was hard for me to understand David.B．It was hard for David to make me understand him.C．I should be strict with David.D．I should be patient with David.5．Which can be the best title for the passage?A．A Creative Mother B．Difficult experimentsC．Learning from Teaching D．Preparing for Teaching6．What can the poster help us to do?A．To stay clean.B．To stay safe.C．To stay strong.D．To stay popular.7．According to the poster, which one is TRUE?A．Don’t meet any friends in public places B．Stay away from our sick familyC．Don’t have meetings with other people D．Try not to take buses or subways8．When you miss your friend, what is best to do?A．To visit her at home.B．To join her for dinner.C．To meet her in a park.D．To have a trip with her.The Olympic flame (火焰) has been put out, bringing down the curtain (帷幕) on the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. But passion lingers (继续存留) for a sporting event that has inspired the world during the pandemic, said Xinhua.International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach called the Games “trulyexceptional” in his closing ceremony speech at the National Stadium. “The Olympic spirit couldonly shine so brightly because the Chinese people set the stage in such an excellent way and in a safe way,” he said.At Beijing 2022, a total of 2,877 athletes (运动员) from 91 countries and regions competed for 109 gold medals. Through 17 days of outstanding performances on the ice and snow, 17 Olympic records, including two world records, were broken. “This is a real example of the Olympic motto(口号): Faster, Higher, Stronger, Together,” said Cai Qi, president of the Beijing organizing committee.As the first city to ever host both the Summer and Winter Olympics, Beijing provided thoughtful services to all the participants (参与者).Beijing 2022 was the first international multi-sport event to be held on schedule during the COVID-19 pandemic. Athletes were kept safe within a closed loop (闭环), preventing any imported cases (输入性病例) from spreading to the outside public. “With an infection rate (感染率) of 0.01, it was one of the safest places on the planet, if not the safest place on the planet, and this is a great achievement,” said Bach.The popularity of ice and snow sports is growing around China. The country has achieved its goal to engage (使参与) 300 million people in winter sports. Winter sports facilities (设施) have even spread to the southern parts of China where winters are warmer. For example, an indoor ski resort (滑雪场) opened in Guangzhou. The Sunac Snow Park is as large as 22 soccer fields and has received more than 2 million visitors since it opened in 2019, reported Xinhua.9．Thomas Bach agreed that the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics were . A．unexpected B．unsafe C．successful D．hurried 10．Paragraph 3 is written to show the Games’ .A．main achievements B．participating nationsC．medal ranking(排列)D．new Olympic records11．In view of the pandemic, what actions did China take at the Winter Olympics?A．The high-risk events were cancelled.

C．Infected athletes were sent back to their countries.D．Participants were vaccinated (接种疫苗) in China.12．What is the main message of the last paragraph?A．More people around the world will pay attention to China.B．Winter sports are less popular in southern China.C．China is rich with snow and ice resources. D．China’s winter sports have developed quickly.Do you want to try a winter sport? We interviewed snowboarding(滑雪板) coach Nie Ying, 35, from Shenyang, Liaoning. He answered questions you may have about starting an ice and snow sport.Q: When is best to start learning a winter sport?A: The earlier, the better. The youngest kid that I taught snowboarding was just 3 years old. Kids who learn ice hockey(曲棍球) usually start to step on the ice at around 4.Starting early has advantages. Little kids are not afraid of falling down. As they are short, even if they fall down, it doesn’t hurt too much.Still, kids have to understand what the coaches say. It means they are good at understanding information. If parents accompany(陪伴) them, they will improve more quickly.Q: Skiing or snowboarding – which suits me?A: In general, skiing is easier to pick up than snowboarding. If you’re not sporty, you can start with skiing. This way, you won’t give up easily. However, skiing still requires you to have strong physical strength, especially in your legs. If you have a good sense of balance, explosiveness(爆发力) and flexibility(灵活性), you can try snowboarding.Q: Is it expensive to learn a winter sport?A: The barrier(门槛) to winter sports has been lowered thanks to the policy(政策) to improve winter sports. For beginners, you can rent(租用) equipment(设备). If you want to buy it, the price is going down as Chinese brands(品牌) offer more affordable and high-quality items(高品质商品).Q: Is it dangerous to play winter sports?A: Well, take skiing as an example. It’s an extreme(极限的) sport. It’s dangerous. But as long as you wear protective gear(护具) and follow coaches’ guidance(指导), the risk is not that high. Many people think that they can just learn skiing on their own. But that’s wrong. You need a coach at the beginning. Coaches not only teach how to ski but also the safety rules and how to use facilities (设施) like ski lifts (缆车).13．What is the advantage of learning a winter sport at an early age?A．Kids aren’t afraid of falling down.B．Kids are short so they won’t fall down. C．Kids understand coaches better than their parents.D．Kids have a better sense of balance than adults.14．Why does Nie Ying recommend(推荐) skiing to people who aren’t very sporty? A．Because it is more fun than snowboarding.B．Because it needs little physical strength. C．Because it is what most people are interested in.D．Because it is easier to start out. 15．What was a barrier of learning a winter sport in the past, according to the third Q&A? A．Bad equipment.B．High prices.C．Lack of a coach.D．Lack of a ski slope(坡度).16．What might be Nie Ying’s suggestion?A．Don’t be afraid of injuries(受伤). B．Anyone who does sports can be a coach.C．Skiing and snowboarding are easy to pick up.D．Start winter sports with professional(专业的) guidance.Shenzhen will make full use of its 50 natural beaches to build high-quality(高质量的) coastal (沿海的) public spaces, according to the city’s beach protection and management measures(措施).At present, Shenzhen has a total of 50 natural beaches, mainly in eastern Yantian District and Dapeng New Area. Among them, 28 beaches are put under management, 10 are designed for bathing, such as Dameisha and Xiaomeisha, and 12 are for leisure (休闲).Beaches for bathing and leisure must gain the right of use of the sea area. Beaches with bathing areas can charge (收费) admissions and should set up public service facilities.Beaches for leisure purposes must be open to the public free of charge.

Those put under management will not offer public services, according to the measures.The measures also state that beach resources should be protected and cannot be occupied by any organization and/or individual(个人). Permanent(永久性的) buildings are not allowed to be built along protected coastlines.At present, the city’s coastline extends for 260.5 kilometers, including a 100.4-kilometer natural coastline and 160.1-kilometer artificial(人工的) coastline, which meets the provincial requirement of no less than 35 percent natural coastline retention rate(保持率), according to the Shenzhen Municipal Planning and Natural Resources Bureau.17．Why will Shenzhen take measures to make good use of its natural beaches?A．Because the city doesn’t have enough natural beaches under management.B．Because the city hopes to set up excellent public service along its coastlines.C．Because the city needs some beach protection and management measures.D．Because the city gets the right of use of the natural beaches.18．According to the news, how many beaches for bathing in Shenzhen are put under management?A．50B．28C．10D．1219．The following statements are true EXCEPT ________A．Beaches for leisure purposes can charge fee for public service.B．Permanent buildings can’t be built along protected coastlines.C．There is a 260.5-kilometer coastline in Shenzhen.D．Shenzhen meets the requirement of natural coastline retention rate.20．What does the underlined word “occupied” in the fifth paragraph probably mean?A．sold out B．visited C．taken up D．protected 二、多任务混合阅读The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms（节气）.

直击2023高考英语(乙卷) 阅读理解 话题3 饮食文化
直击2023高考英语（乙卷）阅读理解话题3 饮食文化一、2023真题(共4题；共8分)阅读理解What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.It's thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain's consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK's obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it's no longer "uncool" for boys to like cooking.1．（2分）What do people usually think of British food?A．It is simple and plain.B．It is rich in nutrition.C．It lacks authentic tastes.D．It deserves a high reputation.2．（2分）Which best describes cookery programmes on British TV?A．Authoritative.B．Creative.C．Profitable.D．Influential.3．（2分）Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now?A．20%.B．24%.C．25%.D．33%.4．（2分）What might the author continue talking about?A．The art of cooking in other countries.B．Male chefs on TV programmes.C．Table manners in the UK.D．Studies of big eaters.二、冲刺练(共4题；共32分)5．（8分）阅读理解There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring itwherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers.

一、阅读理解1、 The West begun to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume of an enormous work re-assessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some reputable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were skeptical at first. China's invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where a static society under a relatively benevolent regime (仁慈的政体) of scholar-gentry (学者绅士) contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid the West's mistakes?(1)、How many volumes have been published so far?A：Five.B：Four.C：Three.D：None.答案： B评析：空(2)、What is special about the first volume?A：It introduces the world intellectual history.B：It introduces the history of Europe.C：It demonstrates that the Chinese made many inventions.D：It explains why China lags behind the west in science and technology.答案： C评析：此题没有评析(3)、In the first paragraph, the word "skeptical" means ______.A：doubtfulB：worriedC：sadD：angry答案： A评析：此题没有评析(4)、Which of the following inventions in NOT made by the Chinese?A：Gunpowder.B：Motor cars.C：Paddle boats.D：Bridge design.答案： B评析：此题没有评析(5)、The best title for this passage isA：Development of Science and Technology in ChinaB：Comparisons Between the East and the WestC：China Is Catching UpD：China's Inventions答案： D评析：此题没有评析2、 Hollywood no longer rules South Korean cinema, which is breaking out all over. Since 1999 Seoul filmmakers have been turning out Asia's first critically applauded films, and "My Wife Is a Gangster" and "Phone" are the most stunningly good examples. In the way Americans tour Hollywood, Asians visit Korea to see sites featured in their favorite movies. Korea once looked to America for idea, but now the reverse is true. Hollywood is snapping up remake rights to dozens of Korean films. Madonna's Maverick Films is remaking the horror film "Phone". And DreamWorks recently bought the rights to another horror film "A Tale of Two Sisters." To capitalize on all the attention, South Korea has moved aggressively to cast itself as the center of Asia's film market.The Seoul government and industry leaders are working to rank the Pusan Film Festival as Cannes（戛纳）East, the festivals where deals get gone, a one-stop place where moviemakers can shop for financing, exports, even location. In preparation for the next Pusan Festival this fall, delegations from Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan and all over Asia have been flocking to Seoul to study the Korean film revival. "We look at Korea with an envious eye," says one of Hong Kong moviemakers, "Filmmakers and audiences have found a real vibes (i.e. good atmosphere) between them, like in the 1970s and '80s in Hong Kong."The Korean film industry, however, is still uphill struggle on the way. The annual receipts of Korean films ($580 million) are gaining on those of Asia's largest film industry: India ($820 million) and Japan ($1.93 billion). Yet, Seoul financial markets still tend to see movies as cultural venture, rather than a business. As a moviemaking company in Korea, yet KangJeGyu Films had to team up with another filmmaker and an auto-manufacturer in a new company in order to win a listing on the stock market last year.Despite the restriction, Korean films are capturing a rising share of the local and even Asian markets. The lesson of the Korean revival is that money should be invested both into films and into comprehensive theaters that can sustain a film culture. (1)、The followings are mentioned in Paragraph 1 EXCEPT _________.A："My Wife Is a Gangster" and "Phone" are the most stunningly good movies.B：Since 1999 filmmakers in South Korea have begun to attract attention.C：More and more Korea films have been played in the cinemas.D：Korea tourism is more and more prosperous.答案： D评析：空(2)、According to the second paragraph, the following statements are true EXCEPT __________. A："A Tale of Two Sisters", like "My Wife Is a Gangster", is a horror film.B：The movies have brought South Korea international attention.C：South Korea is paving way for the center of Asia's film market.D：DreamWorks also bought the remake rights to a horror film.答案： A评析：空(3)、According to the third paragraph, the following statements are true EXCEPT __________. A：Some of Asia's moviemakers are envious of South Korea.B：The Pusan Film Festival is called as Cannes East.C：A one-stop service is special in the Pusan Film Festival.D：The Hong Kong's films were prosperous in the 1970s and '80s.答案： B评析：此题没有评析(4)、The annual receipts of Korean films ranked as____ in Asia.A：the firstB：the secondC：the thirdD：the fifth答案： C评析：此题没有评析(5)、What will the next paragraph discuss according to the last paragraph?A：Reasons of the Korean film revivalB：The films that will be shotC：The theaters that are boomingD：A film culture in South Korea答案： D评析：此题没有评析二、词汇与语法1、In recent years much more emphasis has been put ________ developing the students' productive skills.A：ontoB：overC：inD：on答案： D评析：此题没有评析2、The pilot of the plane is ________ for the passengers' safety.A：consciousB：responsibleC：necessaryD：regulated答案： B评析：此题没有评析3、Man has never ceased to search for cures for such ________ diseases as cancer and AIDS.

This is not because theatres are expensive, 22 because most people prefer to watch television, football matches or to gamble.The word "peasant" is not used in England, except as an insult or as a joke. We have no peasant class, only 23 laborers. We do not have a system, as in other parts of Europe, 24 peopleinherit a small piece of 25 and work it for substance. We have farms, which can employ laborers for wages. Such people are 26 as "agricultural workers". They are not highly paid out but they can manage to live fairly well.Farming is becoming more 27 . These days young men starting work on the farm are expected to spend some more time at agriculture college to learn how to do the job 28 .

It is just between Leicester Square and Shaftsbury Avenue. Gerrard Street is at the center and is the most important street in the area. There is a large Chinese community(社区) with a lotof Chinese restaurants, Chinese supermarkets and shops in this street.In the 1950s, it was a poor area and everything was very cheap. At the same time, the world rice market changed and thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs. They began arriving in London to look for work. They found jobs in the restaurants in this area. Many British people like Chinese food, and the restaurants were popular.These restaurant workers often worked 17 hours a day and had no time to learn English. As more Chinese arrived, more shops and businesses grew up. Wives came and joined their husbands and children came and joined their fathers. The community grew, and Chinatown was born.In the 1970s and 1980s, British-born Chinese started to have a better education and this brought economic(经济的) success to the area. Many families moved out of Chinatown, and there was more space for businesses. Gerrard Street become a street only for visitors and was soon a popular place for tourists.Now everyone knows about London’s Chinatown. During the Chinese New Year, the streets are seen with flags and thousands of Chinese go into the streets. For most of the year, though, Londoners and tourists go there mainly for the food in the Chinese restaurants. The best restaurants are the ones where the Chinese eat.1).

英语阅读真题(3)
英语阅读真题(3)Section BDirections: there are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheer 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.In times of economic crisis. Americans turn to their families for support. If the Great Depression is any guide, we may see a drop in our skyhigh divorce rate. But this won't necessarily represent. an increase in happy marriages. In the long run, the Depression weakened American families, and the current crisis will probably do the same.We tend to think of the Depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge job losses, By 1932. when nearly one-quarter of the workforce was unemployed, the divorce rate had declined by around 25% from 1929 But this doesn't mean people were suddenly happier with their marriages. Rather, with incomes decreasing and insecure jobs, unhappy couples often couldn't afford to divorce. They feared neither spouse could manage alone.Today, given the job losses of the past year, fewer unhappy couples will risk starting separate households, Furthermore, the housing market meltdown will make it more difficult for them to finance their separations by selling their homes.After financial disasters family members also tend to do whatever they can to help each other and their communities, A 1940 book. The Unemployed Man and His Family, described a family in which the husband initially reacted to losing his job "with tireless search for work."He was always active, looking for odd jobs to do.The problem is that such an impulse is hard to sustain Across the country, many similar families were unable to maintain the initial boost in morale(士气). For some, the hardships of life without steady work eventually overwhelmed their attempts to keep their families together. The divorce rate rose again during the rest of the decade as the recovery took hold.Millions of American families may now be in the initial stage of their responses to the current crisis, working together and supporting one another through the early months of unemployment.Today's economic crisis could well generate a similar number of couples whose relationships have been irreparably(无法弥补地)ruined. So it's only when the economy is healthy again that we'll begin to see just how many broken families have been created.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

Some scientists say that selfdriving or driverless cars(无人驾驶汽车) may hit the road within 15 years, and it is possible that driving may become unnecessary(不必要的), or more relaxing and enjoyable.Companies like Google, Baidu, Apple and Alibaba are working on driverless cars. But, if the tests are successful, these electric selfdriving cars could be put into use very soon. This kind of cars may change the way we live in the future. All you have to do is typing in your address!According to Baidu, the driverless technology has the following four advantages. Firstly, driverless cars are actually safer. In China, there are more than 500 deaths caused by accidents. With driverless cars, the number will decrease by 100 times. Secondly, driverless cars are more efficient(有效的) than manned cars. Thirdly, driverless cars follow the traffic rules. Therefore, traffic controlling will be easier. At last, the cost of transportation will be reduced as the labor cost becomes less.There ar e many different technologies needed to make a successful selfdriving car. The most difficult technologies of all are environmental perception (感知), behavior prediction, planning control, HD mapping, and exact GPS.1.

2010年考研英语阅读理解真题第3篇 The Accidental Influentials
2010年考研英语阅读理解真题Text 3The Accidental InfluentialsIn his book The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell argues that social epidemics are driven in large part by the action of a tiny minority of special individuals, often called influentials, who are unusually informed, persuasive, or well-connected.在《引爆流行》这本书中，作者Malcolm Gladwell 认为社会流行潮流在很大程度上是由一小部分特殊个体的行为引起的。
这些人就是人们常说的影响者。
他们异乎寻常的博闻多识，能言善辩，人脉广泛。
The idea is intuitively compelling, but it doesn't explain how ideas actually spread.从直觉上讲Malcolm Gladwell的理论似乎很有说服力，但是它没有解释流行观念的实际传播过程。
The supposed importance of influentials derives from a plausible sounding but largely untested theory called the "two step flow of communication": Information flows from the media to the influentials and from them to everyone else.人们之所以认为影响者很重要，是源于"两级传播"理论。
即信息先从媒体流向影响者，然后再从影响者流向其他人。
