(英语)英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly. It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed, he adds.Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors ( 交叠式旋翼 )to power the vehicle.The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.In New Zealand, the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack “is built around safety from the start. In his words, reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.”The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute (降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency. “It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot,” he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.(1)We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike .A. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quicklyB. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters highC. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teamsD. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed(2)The writer uses the example of For One racing car to show that .A. the Jetpack is very safe and reliableB. the engine of the Jetpack is powerfulC. the actual structure of the Jetpack is uniqueD. the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height(3)The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer s to.A. the jet streamB. the engineC. the JetpackD. the parachute (4)What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?A. To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles.B. To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles.C. To show the differences between two flying vehicles.D. To advertise the two personalflying vehicles.【答案】(1)D(2)A(3)D(4)A【解析】【分析】本文为说明文,主要讲述一种个人飞行工具很快就会应用于现实。

英语阅读理解专题练习(及答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin's older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long, Newspaper companies are losing advertisers, readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor of the Times said recently, “At plac es where they gather, editors ask one another, 'How are you?', as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.” An article about the newspaper appealed on the website of the Guardian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death, Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock (股票)drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock - holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test — preparation service now brings in at least half the company's income,(1)What can we learn about the New England Courant?A. It is mainly about the stock market.B. It carries articles by political leaders.C. It marks the beginning of newspapers.D. It remains a successful newspaper in America.(2)What can we infer about the newspaper editors?A. They often accept readers' suggestions.B. They caw a lot about each other's health.C. They stop doing business with advertisers.D. They face great difficulties in their business. (3) Which of the following found a new way for its development?A. the Washington Post.B. The Guardian.C. The New York Tinier.D. New England Courant.(4)How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers”?A. Satisfied.B. Hopeful.C. Surprised.D.

Encountering this situation is so uncomfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the past, I struggled wit h this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something… But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you would otherwise have missed out on.After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and found that one of these common behaviors is the habit of filtering (过滤)--holding back from saying something until you've "checked" to make sure that what you're about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you don't know how to change from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. It's fun to realize that you're allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you don't say anything that could land you in jail (监狱).All of the "Oh! That's interesting…" "Hmm, I've never heard of that" "Hmm, cool!" expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that you're really listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, they'll hang around and want to talk to you even more.Everyone knows that stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if it's not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the harder they are to forget.(1)If people can deal with the awkward silence, they can .A. train their working skillB. improve their life qualityC. enrich their social lifeD. establish their working relationship(2)When talking with others, we should .A. feel nervousB. think twiceC. be free to expressD. avoid breaking in (3)According to the passage, what do the speakers care much about?A. The attractive topics of conversation.B. The atmosphere of the conversation.C. The listener's experiences and tastes.D. The listener's curiosity and concern.(4)What does the underlined part "juice-up conversations" mean?A. making conversations more boringB. making conversations livelierC. making conversations smootherD. making conversations more relaxing【答案】(1)C(2)C(3)D(4)B【解析】【分析】本文本文是一篇议论文,我们谈话时最大的问题之一是尴尬的沉默。

But in recent years, some American schools have cut music classes to control budgets(预算).For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1, 000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often. However, learning music is beneficial(有益的)in many ways.When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth K. Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode(解码)them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music:Einstein played the violin and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.(1)Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ____.A. they were too difficult to learnB. students in the US weren't interested in musicC. the schools wanted to control budgetsD. there weren't enough music teachers in the US (2)In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word "them" refer to(指代)?A. Students in Chicago.B. Public schools.C. Parents in Chicago.D. Fired teachers.(3)How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.(4)What's the writer's opinion according to this passage?A. Music is as simple as it looks.B. Music classes should be cut in some schools.C. Music is a big part of our lives.D.

What subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can't sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful(压力大的)."For people who are worried about math, posture (姿势)makes a big difference," Erik Paper from San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. That's right – sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams.Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math exam while sitting in a slumped-over (趴倒的)posture, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.Slumping over is a defensive(戒备的) posture. It can bring about bad memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Paper said.Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily benefit(受益)from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported.Good posture isn't just helpful for taking math exams. Sportspeople, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more certain and focus better.(1)What posture can make people feel less stressed during math exams?A. Sitting up straight.B. Hanging your head.C. Lying on your back.D. Raising one hand.(2)What did the scientists ask the college students to do during the test?A. To do sit-ups.B. To count numbers.C. To think carefully.D. To sit in different postures.(3)How many students in the test benefited from the better posture?A. All the 125 students.B. Less than half of them.C. 56 percent of them.D. None of the students.(4)The fourth paragraph is written to explain .A. why slumping over makes exams harder to doB. why slumping over is bad for one's healthC. why some people slump over during examsD. why people are nervous during math exams(5)Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.

Now, the Emoji-quake campaign is lobbying for an earthquake emoji to be added to the Unicode set — the standard group of icons available on digital devices worldwide. The campaign aims to find an earthquake-appropriate design to be submitted to Unicode."Approximately up to one third of the world's population are exposed to earthquakes," explains University of Southampton seismologist (地震学家) Dr. Stephen Hicks, a founder of the campaign. "So we really want to be able to communicate to all of those regions, all of those different languages, and an emoji is an amazing way of doing that."Unlike many other weather and climate related events, where longer warning times or visible signs are available, earthquakes move incredibly quickly and are difficult to measure while they are still occurring. Populations in areas like Japan and Mexico are dependent on earthquake early warning technology, which issues an alert on digital devices and broadcast media. "You may have seconds to get under a table or to protect yourself," explains Dr. Hicks. "That can be life saving in many cases. Naturally you don't want too much wording in the warning message." Pictographs (象形文字) and other visuals like emoji have a track record of being faster and easier to understand than written information. Dr. Sara McBride, a communications specialist, who is also part of the campaign, told BBC News, "Emoji can cross the boundaries of written languages, helping communicate valuable information to people who may struggle to read a certain language."The potential usefulness of emoji in emergencies could extend well beyond earthquakes. A team of designers also came up with emerji—an entire set of emoji dedicated to climate and environmental events.(1)According to the passage, why did the campaign choose earthquakes as their target?A. Because earthquakes threaten many people in different regions.B. Because earthquakes are the easiest to be expressed by an emoji.C. Because earthquakes are not difficult to measure while occurring.D. Because earthquakes are the most destructive disasters in the world.(2)Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase "lobby for" in the first paragraph?A. Hope for.B. Enter for.C. Appeal for.D. Run for.(3)What can we infer from Dr. Sara McBride's words about emoji?A. Emoji benefits people with reading disability a lot.B. Emoji is being used to convey valuable information.C. Emoji can cross the boundaries of written languages.D. Emoji is a universal language and helpful tool in communication.(4)The best title of the passage should be ___________________.A.

Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.The reason is thought to be so-called similarity attraction theory — where people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago University in theUS conducted a series of experiments to examine food's role in earning trust.In a test, participants were told to watch TV — where someone pretending to be a member ofthe public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble (咬), whilethe TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the productif the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions (交易) from the start.”Harley Street psychologist Dr. Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, “This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have common ground andcan trust the other person. That means negotiations are more likely to be successfu l.”(1)According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who ______.A. has the same taste as themB. advertises his products on TVC. reduces the price of his productsD. pays attention to the quality of his products(2)The experiments conducted by researchers at Chicago University show that ______.A. food plays an important role in earning people's trustB. bosses like employees that havethe same taste as themC. people who have similar tastes to their boss's earn moreD. people have less interest in buying products advertised on TV(3)What can be inferred from the passage?A. People who eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.B. People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.C. The effect of wearing similar clothes hasn't been proved by researchers.D.

Few students like homework, but it is an important part of middle school life in the UK.The UK has these rules for homework: Grades7and 8 (ages 11 to 13 ): 45 to 90 minutes per day; Grade 9 (ages 14 to 15):1 to 2 hours a day.Today, many homework tasks are done on a computer. For example, preparing reports, using the Internet or doing online tasks. So schools are usually open before and after normal hours. In this way, students without computers or the Internet at home can use the schools' facilities (设备).Sometimes, students are given extended learning tasks. That means they need to do more research and analysis (分析).But however big a task is, teachers always give feedback 反馈)to help students find the areas where they can improve.Some schools send students home with home diaries. They advise parents to check on their Children's progress. Sadly, not every parent takes much interest. In a survey of 1,000 students aged 11 to 18, over 10 percent said that they did not have space at home to do homework. Almost 15 percent said their families did not support them enough.(1)In the UK, which one of the following shouldn't do homework for more than 90 minutes?A. A student of 12.B. A girl of 14. C . A boy of 15.(2)If a student doesn't have a computer or the Internet, how can he finish his online homework?A. He doesn't have to finish it.B. He can ask his teacher for help.C.

(英语)高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解The number of giraffes is becoming smaller across Africa, according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. The total population has dropped by 40 percent in the last 15 years. Surprisingly, even scientists haven't given much attention to giraffes. We are learning more about their ecology, but what we know is still way behind what we know about other species. "It's a silent extinction," said Dr. Julian Hennessy, a wildlife scientist."The main reason for the smaller number of giraffes is their loss of living places," said Hennessy, "as an increasing part of land is used for farming. But hunting also has a big influence." You might wonder why hunters would focus on giraffes. First of all, once a giraffe is brought down, there is lots of meat with a small amount of effort. Besides, there is another thing encouraging the hunting. In Tanzania, Hennessy says, the latest word on the street is that eating giraffe meat could cure AIDS. Fresh giraffe heads and bones can be sold at prices of up to $140 per piece.Another widespread misconception about giraffes is that they are everywhere. Look at kids' books which are full of giraffes. They are always in zoo collections. They can be seen easily, so you don't think we have to worry about them. But the truth is that they are in danger of extinction. There is a lack of right and true data.Hennessy and other researchers are now pulling together the data needed to improve the situation of the entire giraffe species and all nine subspecies (亚种). The information will be used to change the giraffe's listing on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, which now lists the species as of "least concern" but two subspecies as "endangered". "It's a lot of work to gather the necessary information," Hennessy says. "And several other giraffe subspecies will be recommended for endangered listings next year or the year after." He hopes that the world will finally start to take notice of how endangered these beloved animals have become.(1)By saying "It's a silent extinction", Hennessy tells us that ______.A. giraffes are unpopular in AfricaB. the giraffe is always silent in daily lifeC. the ecology of Africa needs more attentionD. the extinction occurs without enough attention(2)What has caused the high price of giraffe meat in Tanzania?A. The country's custom.B. The illegal international trade.C. The cost of hunting a giraffe.D. The idea that it's a cure for AIDS.(3)The misconception in Para. 3 can be corrected by ______.A. preventing illegal hunting in AfricaB. rewriting kids' books about giraffesC. providing reliable data about giraffesD. spreading scientific knowledge of AIDS(4)The final purpose of Hennessy's great effort is to ______.A. collect more information about giraffesB. raise public awareness of protecting giraffesC. prove giraffes will disappear in the next few yearsD. work with the International Union for Conservation of Nature【答案】(1)D(2)D(3)C(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了长颈鹿濒临灭绝的原因,并指出提供准确的数据,提高人们的保护意识至关重要。

What subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can't sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful(压力大的)."For people who are worried about math, posture (姿势)makes a big difference," Erik Paper from San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. That's right – sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams.Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math exam while sitting in a slumped-over (趴倒的)posture, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.Slumping over is a defensive(戒备的) posture. It can bring about bad memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Paper said.Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily benefit(受益)from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported.Good posture isn't just helpful for taking math exams. Sportspeople, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more certain and focus better.(1)What posture can make people feel less stressed during math exams?A. Sitting up straight.B. Hanging your head.C. Lying on your back.D. Raising one hand.(2)What did the scientists ask the college students to do during the test?A. To do sit-ups.B. To count numbers.C. To think carefully.D. To sit in different postures.(3)How many students in the test benefited from the better posture?A. All the 125 students.B. Less than half of them.C. 56 percent of them.D. None of the students.(4)The fourth paragraph is written to explain .A. why slumping over makes exams harder to doB. why slumping over is bad for one's healthC. why some people slump over during examsD. why people are nervous during math exams(5)Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.

DIf you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming.Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty in such positive(积极的)light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance.When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chan ces all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting(咨询), but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income(收入)by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she wa sn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted.She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out.

Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ourse lves.The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.(1)From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that .A. being out of work is a sad thingB. uncertainty is what makes life interestingC. life in a film is more exciting than real life.D. chance never appears when we need it(2)What troubles Allison after graduation?A.

Now, the Emoji-quake campaign islobbying for an earthquake emoji to be added to the Unicode set — the standard group of icons availableon digital devices worldwide. The campaign aims to find an earthquake- appropriate design to besubmitted to Unicode."Approximately up to one third of the world's population are exposed to earthquakes," explains Universityof Southampton seismologist ( 地震学家)Dr. Stephen Hicks, a founder of the campaign. "So we really wantto be able to communicate to all of those regions, all of those different languages, and an emoji is an amazingway of doing that."Unlike many other weather and climate related events, where longer warning times or visible signs areavailable, earthquakes move incredibly quickly and are difficult to measure while they are still occurring.Populations in areas like Japan and Mexico are dependent on earthquake early warning technology, whichissues an alert on digital devices and broadcast media. "You may have seconds to get under a table or toprotect yourself," explains Dr. Hicks. "That can be life saving in many cases. Naturally you don't want toomuch wording in the warning message."Pictographs (象形文字)and other visuals like emoji have a track record of being faster and easier tounderstand than written information. Dr. Sara McBride, a communications specialist, who is also part of thecampaign, told BBC News, "Emoji can cross the boundaries of written languages, helping communicatevaluable information to people who may struggle to read a certain language."The potential usefulness of emoji in emergencies could extend well beyond earthquakes. A team ofdesigners also came up with emerji — an entire set of emoji dedicated to climate and environmental events.(1) According to the passage, why did the campaign choose earthquakes as their target? A. Could an emoji save our life?B. What can emoji do in our life?C. How is emoji changing our life?D. Do we really know about emoji?A.

(英语)英语阅读理解专项习题及答案解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Dodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacks other plants. Except for its flowers, the plant looks like spaghetti, a kind of noodles in the shape of long thin pieces that look like string when they are cooked. It's almost leafless, thread-like stems hang down on top of other plants that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals food from other plants. It feeds by sucking juices from the plant which is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it.Dodder can find other plants by their smell. When a young dodder plant starts growing, it follows the smell of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops. Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of, for example, tomato smell—if a tomato happens to be growing nearby.However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. It no longer needs its root once it is attached to the host and wrapped around it. If it cannot catch a smell of a potential host within a few days, it will dry up and vanish even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point the dodder plant will drop its root.Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmer's harvest or even destroy crops completely. Before sowing their produce, especially farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have mixed with their crop seeds. This is a good way to stop dodder plants from making their way to a crop field secretly.(1)Why does the author mention spaghetti in the first paragraph?A. To analyze the content of some food.B. To introduce the topic of this passage.C. To tell the usage of the dodder plants.D. To describe the shape of dodder plants.(2)What does the underlined word “vanish” in the third paragraph mean?A. invade.B. grow.C. escape.D. disappear.(3)What can be inferred from the passage?A. Dodder doesn't produce its own food.B. Dodder gives off smell to attract plants.C. Dodder can affect farmers' income.D. Dodder can only survive in the shade.(4)What is the purpose of the passage?A. To introduce a new variety of farm crops.B. To introduce plants that are harmful to humans.C. To introduce the special abilities of a dangerous plant.D. To introduce recent improvements in farming methods.【答案】(1)D(2)D(3)C(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一种有特殊生长习性,危害农作物生长的攀附植物——菟丝子。

(1)考查推理判断。

根据第一段中的“Except for its flowers, the plant looks like spaghetti, a kind of noodles in the shape of long thin pieces that look like string when they are cooked.”可推断,作者把菟丝子和意大利面条相比是用人们熟悉的东西来说明它的形状,故选D。

(2)考查词义猜测。

根据第三段中的“If it cannot catch a smell of a potential host within a few days, it will dry up”可知,菟丝子如果不能很快找到可以寄生的植物,它就会变干,因此推断即使周围有许多水它也会消失死亡。

故画线词“vanish”与D项disappear“消失”意义相近。

故选D。

(3)考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的“When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reducea farmer's harvest or even destroy crops completely.”可知,当菟丝子失去控制,也就是疯狂的生长,菟丝子可以极大减少农民的收成,甚至完全摧毁庄稼。

因此推断菟丝子会影响农民们的收入。

故选C。

(4)考查推理判断。

根据第一段中的“Dodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacks other plants.”和下文对菟丝子特殊的生长习性和危害的叙述可知,文章的写作目的是主要介绍这种特殊又有危害的植物——菟丝子。

故选C。

【点评】本题考点涉及词义猜测和推理判断两个题型的考查,是一篇科普类阅读,要求考生根据上下文进行逻辑推理,从而选出正确答案。
