阅读强化训练(十五)(建议用时:25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解George Watford works at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(ASPCA)in New York City.He gets some unusual phone calls.One day,he got a call about a mountain lion living in a small building.“We didn’t believe it,” Watford said.“But when we went out there,sure enough,there was a mountain lion sitting at the front window looking out at us.”The big cat’s owner knew that his neighbors were unhappy about the animal.He didn’t try to stop us taking it away.In one year,the ASPCA took in 9,459 different animals,not counting cats and dogs.That number includes a lot of rabbits and monkeys,but the ASPCA has also taken many other exotic(外来的)pets from people’s homes.These animals can’t be set free into the wild because they wouldn’t survive.The ASPCA tries to find homes for them in zoos or special areas for animals.It’s against the law to sell wild animals in New York City.Many buildings don’t even allow dogs and cats,not to mention more exotic animals.Still,the ASPCA takes away most of the exotic animals not because of complaints(怨言),but because the pet’s owner needs help.A lovely baby lion or bear will finally grow up to be dangerous.“When they bite(咬人),it isn’t because they hate you.It’s because they’re wild animals,”said exotic animal expert Kathi Travers.Travers is quick to give speeches against raising wild animals as pets.Too often people think that caring for a wild animal is the same as caring for a dog or a cat.“To love an animal is not enough,” Travers said.“There has to be respect(尊重),and respect is not taking an animal,sticking it in a little cage,and expecting the animal to be happy.”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

综合检测(时间:100分钟,满分:120分)第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
APassenger pigeons(旅鸽) were the most common birds in all of North America in the 1800s.It was common to see large groups of passenger pigeons—groups that made a sound like a storm.But today,they are extinct because of human behavior.Now,some scientists want to bring passenger pigeons back to life by using new technology and scientific ideas.They call this process de-extinction.De-extinction has not happened yet.It is still just an idea.The process of de -extinction is not easy.First,scientists must collect DNA from the bodies of extinct animals.Then they will put it in the eggs of similar animal species.When these animals become adults,they will have babies.And these baby animals will have the DNA of the extinct animals.Scientists believe it is possible to bring back passenger pigeons and many other animals.However,not everyone thinks this is a good idea.Stuart Primm is the world’s leading expert on moder n animal extinction.He believes that bringing extinct animals back to life is bad for the earth.On one hand, these animals no longer have a safe place to live.On the other hand, they could cause other animals to die.Many other scientists do not agree with Stuart Primm.Stuart Brand,a writer and scientist,is one of them.He believes de-extinction is good for many reasons.“The current generation(当代) of children will experience the return of some unusual animals in their lifetime.It may be part of what defines their generation and their attitude to the natural world.They will take their parents to zoos to see the growing populations of passenger pigeons, and maybe even dodo birds.This will provide a good deal of money for zoos busy with extinct species restoration(恢复).Humans killed off a lot of species over the last 10,000 years. So, it’s right to bring some back to life,” he said.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文。

阅读强化训练(十一)(建议用时:25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解Choosing a hotel, restaurant or new product can be a hard task. There’s so much on offer, and making a mistake can be expensive. This is why many people turn to online user reviews—opinions and information that’s supposedly written by people who have used a service or bought a product. But can we trust them?About 70% of Americans say they believe online user reviews. According to experts, this is because when we read a review by another person, we feel like we’re getting a personal recommendation(推荐) from a friend. But a recent study shows that about one third of online reviews are not true.Of course, companies are in need of good reviews so some of them have started to “play” the system. But how do they do it? Simple! One way is to give good reviews of your own product or service. Best-selling writer RJ Ellory was recently caught writing 5-star reviews of his own books on . He called one of his books a “modern masterpiece” and said another would “touch people’s souls(心灵)”. RJ also wrote unkind reviews of his competitors’ books.Another way is to “buy” good reviews. Just recently, the Cove Hotel in Cornwall was caught giving guests discounts(折扣) if they wrote “honest but positive” reviews on TripAdvisor. The idea worked—one guest called the Cove “a dream came true” and another simply wrote, “I didn’t want to leave!”Some people are even making a living by writing untrue reviews. In 2010, American Todd Rutherford created (it has since closed down). For $99, Todd would write a positive review of your book on ;and for $999, he’d write 50. At one point, Todd was making more than $28,000 per month; and one ofhis clients(客户) (John Locke) became a best-selling author because of Todd’s reviews. So, just be careful when you are looking for reviews of the things you need on the Internet.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

阅读强化训练(二)(建议用时:25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解In the United States there are more than half a millioncriminals serving time in prisons. Most prisoners are malehigh school dropouts(退学者) between the age of 18 and 29.Even more shocking is the fact that the number and rate ofimprisonment has more than doubled over the past twenty years, and the recidivism(累犯) is more than 60 percent.Although the aim of the criminal justice system is to get them back into society, the system itself doesn’t support such a goal. Although most prisons are located within the community, prisons are usually isolated(隔离的) and terribly overcrowded. Even in the betterequipped prisons, only onethird of the prisoners have job training opportunities or work release(监外就业) choices.If prisons are to achieve the goal of getting prisoners back into society, then the prisons themselves will have to change. First, they will have to be smaller, housing no more than five hundred prisoners. It has been shown that crowding does not help improve(改进) behaviors. Second, they will have to be built in or near population centers with what prisoners need. This must include social services. Finally, prison programs must be reorganized to provide work release and job training for all prisoners, giving them skills that carry over into their lives after release. In addition to work release, successful models for such teamwork between the criminal justice system and the community already exist in several hundred halfway houses throughout the country where prisoners complete their sentences while beginning to rebuild their lives as productive members of society. Studies suggest that imprisonment as it is currently operated must be viewed as punishment rather than reform. Until we approach the problem in terms of changing behaviors, prisoners who are set free will probably return to a life of crime.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文。

阅读强化训练阅读强化训练(一)(建议用时:15分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解A British scientist whose schoolmasters told him he was toostupid to study the subject has been awarded the Nobel Prizein medicine or physiology for his pioneering work on cloning.At the age of 15, Sir John Gurdon ranked last out of the250 boys at biology, and was in the bottom set in every otherscience subject.His master,Mr.Gaddum, was in fact a museumcurator(解说员) by profession who had been hired to teach the lowestachieving pupils and was not in fact a particularly effective teacher.Though he had heard Gurdon was interested in doing science, he thought this was a completely ridiculous idea because there was no hope whatever of Gurdon doing science.After receiving the report, Sir John said he switched his attention to classics and was offered a place to study at Christ Church, Oxford, but was allowed to switch courses and read zoology instead because of a mix up in the admissions office.It was at Oxford as a postgraduate student that he published his famous research on genetics and proved for the first time that every cell in the body contains the same genes.He did so by taking a cell from an adult frog’s intestine(肠), removing its genes and implanting them into an egg cell, which grew into a clone of the adult frog.Different from the previous studies by much more senior scientists,his idea was controversial(引起争议的) at the time and it was a decade before the thengraduate student’s work became widely accepted.But it led directly to the cloning of Dolly the Sheep by Prof Ian Wilmut in ter on Prof Yamanaka found adult cel ls can be “reprogrammed” into stem cells for use in medicine.Sir John professed to be unaware of the cash prize that awaits,but said he would most likely invest it in a fund he has previously set up to support PhD students during their fourth year of study.【解题导语】获得过诺贝尔生理学或医学奖的英国科学家约翰·格登的生物课成绩曾经在250名同年龄的男生中排最后一名,在其他科学类学科中成绩也都垫底,但是他没有放弃,最后取得了杰出的成绩。

阅读强化训练(八)[学生用书P148(单独成册)](建议用时:25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解One day, a patient came to see me. He worked as a waiter in a restaurant and his problem was acid reflux(胃酸倒流), a disease that influences as many as 40 percent of Americans, a marked increase in recent years. Reflux can lead to esophageal(食道的) cancer, which has increased by about 500 percent since the 1970s. The drugs we use to treat reflux don’t always work and may even increase the risk of developing cancer when used long term.What is responsible for these worrying developments? For one, our poor diet, with its huge increases in the intake of sugar, fat, soft drinks, and unhealthy foods. But another important fact has been overlooked:dinnertime. Over the past twenty years, the time of my patients’ evening meals has become later and later. Dinner —already pushed back by longer work hours—is often further, delayed(推迟) by activities such as shopping and exercise.In my experience, the single most important treatment for reflux is to avoid late eating. A patient with reflux came to see me because her father and uncle died of esophageal cancer, and she was afraid of getting it too. Her nightly routine(常规) included a 9 p.m. dinner with at least two bottles of red wine. The reflux was serious, and changes were needed.She listened, then did not come back to see me for a year. “For the first two months, I just hated you,” she told me, “and for the next two months, I was having some trouble eating. I guessed I was going to die of esophageal cancer.” Then she added, “You know, we’re the reason that it’s not so easy to get 6 p.m. reservation(预约) at the good restaurants anymore.”To stop the increase in reflux disease, we have to stop eating at least three hours before bed. As for my waiter patient? I told him to eat dinner before 7 p.m. Within six weeks, his reflux was gone.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文。

姓名,年级:时间:阅读强化训练(一)(建议用时:15分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解A group of scientists in the Netherlands recently used high-tech methods to examine a secret hidden inside an ancient Chinese statue(雕像). It was sent to the Drents Museum in the northeastern Netherlands as part of an exhibit。
But while working on the statue, researchers took the chance to study the body of a Buddhist monk(佛僧) inside it。
The statue was shipped to a medical center for CT scans, which are tests that produce X-ray pictures. Scientists used the technology to find out the statue’s hidden secrets。
The body of the monk was sitting on top of a roll of cloth marked with Chinese characters(字). The cloth shows that the monk was named Liu Quan and lived around the year 1100。
“On the outside, it looked like a large statue of Buddha," said Vincent van Vilsteren from the Drents Museum。

1 牛津译林版高中英语必修2阅读强化训练阅读强化训练(十四)(建议用时:25分钟)Ⅰ 阅读理解A warm smile, a quick hello, an offer of directions or perhaps maybe a place to stay. The kindness of strangers is one of my fondest experiences and memories from my travels.When arriving in Slovenia from Croatia just before dark, I made a line to my hotel on the map, thinking I could easily find it. After walking around in circles for what felt like hours, I approached(靠近) a bus driver and tried to explain where I was heading. After a few failed tries because of our different languages, he signaled to me to get on the bus and took me to my hotel free of charge.Once again, I got lost in Turkey. After almost running my rental car empty, luck would have it that I found a gas station and another kind person. The young cashier did not speak a word of English, but pulled his phone out and opened a translation app(应用软件). We managed to have a whole conversation of broken English/Turkish. I even wrote “tesekkür ederim” (thank you) and if his kindness hadn’t already melted(软化) my heart, his smile certainly did!And finally, my favorite act of kindness: My husband and I had just boarded a bus heading from Nice to Menton in France. A lady sitting across from us noted our accents and upon finding out that we had traveled all the way from New Zealand, stood up and offered us her window seat. We kindly refused. But she insisted, “There is nothing quite like watching the sunset over th e ocean on the French Riviera.” Not only did her kindness take me by surprise, we got to see one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world.Strangers owe(欠) you nothing. Their acts of kindness show you that the world。

牛津译林版高中英语必修2阅读强化训练阅读强化训练(二)(建议用时:25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解Savannah Gallery is in The Valley, close to Crocus Hill. It is housed in two old houses which I believe add to the attraction of this gallery. I visited the gallery recently. Frank Costin who is the owner and director of Savannah Gallery was so helpful and friendly and shared the history behind some of the art in the gallery. I was fascinated by a piece of art by Victor Hempel and the story behind it.“Two years ago, this talented sculptor(雕塑家) found an almond tree floating in the salt pond of Sandy Ground. He saw possibilities with his gifted eyes and pulled the tree back to his boat and workshop. This spring, after being exhibited in the St. Barth’s art exhibition, it arrived in the gallery. There’s not a single wall in this gallery that can fit its 11 feet height!” Frank said. After a couple of days, he hoisted(吊起) it up and placed it in the gallery’s front room. “It’s an amazing sculpture, and it’s titled Greeting the Morning Sun. It is truly a great work of this sculptor,” Frank said. I agree with Frank. I think it is simply beautiful and I love the story behind it.There are many other beautiful pieces of art in the gallery. It was nice to walk slowly from room to room and picture in my mind that Anguillan families once lived and loved in the tiny rooms of the gallery. I then went out on the back porch and was watched by some cats. As Frank explained, he is allergic(过敏的) to cats, but he feeds the cats and they never come too close. He benefits because they keep the mice away and they benefit as they are fed daily.It was a lovely visit and I will be sure to visit during the year to see what1。

阅读强化训练(八)(建议用时:25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解A fresh and gentle wind on your face,soft sand under your feet and blue waters as far as the eye can see.Is there any other Olympic sport that is played in such pleasant conditions as beach volleyball?“I’ve gone to a lot of beautiful places,and met a lot of beautiful people.That wouldn’t have happened if I had been playing another sport,” said Randy Stoklos, America’s famous beach volleyball player.The sport began as a four-a-side game on beaches in Southern California in the 1920s.The first recorded two-man game took place there in 1930,and the first tournament was held in Los Angeles 18 years later.The winners were awarded a case of Pepsi.In the 1950s,women started playing and the sport soon spread to Europe and South America.Yet at that time,beach volleyball was more an entertainment show than a sport,with beauty contests included.The Association of Volleyball Professionals was founded in 1983 and beach volleyball developed into a fast,athletic sport.Its world-wide popularity won beach volleyball a place at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta,where 24 male teams and 16 female teams took part.At present,the U.S. and Brazil are the best in the world at beach volleyball.The game came to China in the early 1990s and there have been national tournaments since 1994.It became an official event at the Eighth National Games in 1997.China’s You Wenhui and Wang Lu finished ninth in the women’s beach volleyball world championships in Brazil.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了沙滩排球的历史。
