一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解It was the beginning of 2011. I had just finished filming the first season of Game of Thrones(《权利的游戏》). With almost no professional experience, I had been given the role of Daenerys Targaryen. The show was so successful that young girls would dress themselves up as Daenerys for Halloween.And yet, terrified of the attention, terrified of trying to make good on the faith that the creators had put in me, I worked much harder.On the morning of February 11, 2011, I was getting dressed in a gym when I started to feel a bad headache. I was so exhausted that I could barely put on my sneakers. I tried to ignore the pain, but I couldn't. I reached the toilet and sank to my knees. A woman came to help me. Then everything became unclear. I only remember the sound of an ambulance.That operation lasted three hours. When I woke, the pain was unbearable. After four days, they moved me out of the I.C.U. (重症监护室). But one day when a nurse asked me, as part of a series of cognitive (认知的) exercises, " What's your name?", I couldn't remember my name and I felt terrified: I am an actor; I need to remember my lines. Now, I couldn't recall my name.The phenomenon is called aphasia. Then I was sent back to the I.C.U. and, after about a week, I was able to speak and know my name. And I was also aware that there were people in the beds around me who didn't make it out of the I.C.U. I was continually reminded of just how fortunate I was.I rarely gave a thought to my health. Nearly all I thought about was acting. I thought of myself as healthy. Once in a while, I would get dizzy. When I was fourteen, I had a migraine (偏头痛) that kept me in bed for a couple of days. But it all seemed manageable — part of the stress of being an actor. Now I think I might have been experiencing warning signs of what was to come.Anyway, there is something pleasant about coming to the end of Thrones. And I'm so happy to be here to see the beginning of whatever comes next.(1)The author felt terrified after acting in the first season of Game of Thrones because _____.①she felt nervous about the public attention.②she had been criticized for her lack of experience.③she was experiencing some warning signs of a serious illness.④she wasn't sure if she had perform ed well in Season 1.A. ①④B. ②③C. ①②D. ③④(2)When did the author lose consciousness?A. After she took an operation.B. After a woman came to her rescue in a gym.C. When trying to ignore a headache while working out.D. When knowing many patients wouldn't survive the illness.(3)A patient who is suffering from aphasia ______.A. cannot move his or her bodyB. will fall into serious depressionC. must undergo brain surgery at onceD. is not able to remember things from the past (4)What can you infer from the end of the passage?A. The author feels very lucky to be an actress.B. The author is quite confident about her role.C. The author can't go on acting due to the illness.D. The author will pay more attention to her health.【答案】(1)A(2)B(3)D(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者讲述了自己在作为一名演员对待工作非常认真努力却忽视了自己的身体健康,直到有一天她晕倒并进了重症病房接受治疗,她才意识到要重视身体健康。

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解FaceApp has taken the world by storm, giving users the chance to see themselves age through its algorithm. 12.7 million people—some three million more than the population of New York City—reportedly downloaded it in one seven-day period last month.Although the Russian app has become known for its privacy issues, the more interesting lesson of our FaceApp fling (尽情玩乐)is what it tells us about our society—and our future lives. It turns out we are more interested in aging than we realized. I'm surprised by this. Most younger people are in denial (否认)about old age, doing almost nothing to prepare for it. We rarely have a chance to plan for the future, with increasing time and financial pressures. Those pressures bring sacrifices that we may not always want to make: we can no longer afford to spend the time or the money needed to look after our elderly parents.As a family doctor, I can see the loneliness epidemic developing. Elderly patients come to see me with no particular illness, no clear medical issue. After a few minutes of the consultation, I understand why: they're not sick, and often they don't feel sick. They just need someone—anyone-to talk to.Although loneliness has no medical classification, the health effects are real: the result of loneliness and isolation can be as harmful to our health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, and is more damaging than obesity. But loneliness does not come with nearly enough health warnings. So what next? Since 1980, we are living on average 10 years longer. At the same time, people are having fewer and fewer children, and they are having them much later in life. The snake of a world class health service is eating its own tail; its care is prolonging (延长) people's lives, but as the ratio of pensioners(退休人员)to working -age people increases, there are fewer taxpayers to fund that very health service.Into this void have stepped NGOs, charities and volunteers. But in the long term, the only way to truly help the oldest meters of our society is to go back to the traditional values of intergenerational(两代间的) cooperation—often under same roof. Ultimately, we will need to evolve towards a culture where elderly care is treated the same as childcare, where employers recognize the duty of someone with an elderly parent the same way they recognize those of someone with a newborn child.(1)The example of FaceApp is used to _____.A. prove the popularity of itB. explain the function of itC. show the progress of technologyD. introduce the topic of aging and loneliness(2)What makes elderly people without illness go to see their family doctors?A. Desire to have the consultation.B. Strong feeling of loneliness.C. Unclear medical issues.D. Questions to ask doctors.(3)How can the oldest members be truly helped?A. By being treated as children.B. By going back to the traditional society.C. By providing family care.D. By living with other elderly people under the same roof.(4)What can we learn from the passage?A. The loneliness of elderly people needs more attention.B. FaceApp's popularity proves it has no security problems.C. Health service lacks fund because of prolonged peopled lives.D. FaceApp is helpful in dealing with elderly peopled loneliness.【答案】(1)D(2)B(3)C(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,作者由FaceApp话题谈到当今的社会现象——老人感到孤独,他们需要关注。

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Standing desks have become common across Silicon Valley, offering health benefits to those willing to work on their feet. However, due to their high price, they have failed to catch on until now. Recently, Ikea has brought out Bekant convertible(可变换的) standing desk that can become a normal desk at the touch of a button. The $500 adjustable desk can transform from a standard desk to a standing one, and Ikea hopes it could make the standing desk mainstream.Experts say that changing from a seated to a standing desk can improve productivity. Similar desks have become a common sight at tech firms such as Google, where some employees have even installed treadmill (跑步机) and bicycle desks.The desk is not the first "convertible" on the market. As early as 2013, Stir Kinect brought out an adjustable desk. The $3,890 Stir Kinect desk has a motor to raise and lower itself, changing it into a standing desk or a traditional desk. The desk can even be programmed to move up and down slightly, making it appear to take a gentle breath to remind the user to change their positions. To move between sitting and standing positions, owners simply double tap on the screen. The desk can learn the user's preferences over time and suggest the best seating position. The Stir Kinect desk was created by a team of ex-Apple and Disney engineers. It has a built-in touch screen to control and track movement, and can tell users exactly how many calories they burn by standing during their working day. It also has devices containing power points and USB ports for charging phones, to keep cables hidden."Ikea's height-adjustable desk is great for opening up the lower end of the market, " said JP Labrosse, founder and CEO of Stir.(1)What is the text mainly about?A.

AMemory is an incredibly important part of our lives, allowing us to store and retrieve information about the world around us. Unfortunately, many of us experience memory difficulties in our daily lives. Luckily, there are several techniques that can help improve memory. Here are a few:- Use Mnemonic Devices: Mnemonic devices are memory tools that help us remember certain pieces of information. For example, you might use the acronym HOMES to remember the names of the Great Lakes (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior). Another example is the phrase “My very eager mother just served us nine pizzas” to remember the order of the planets in our solar system (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto).-Repetition: Repetition is the act of repeating a piece of information. This technique is particularly useful for remembering short-term information. If you need to remember a phone number or a name, repeating it several times to yourself can help you commit it to memory. - Visualization: Visualization is the process of creating mental images to assist with memory. For example, if you need to remember a grocery list, you might create mental images of the items on the list. You could picture an apple in your mind, then a carton of eggs, then a loaf of bread, and so on.-Organization: Organizing information can also help improve memory.This might mean grouping similar items together, as in creating categories for different types of information. For example, if you are trying to remember a list of vocabulary words, you might group them together by similar meanings.- Sleep: Getting enough sleep is important for memory consolidation, the process of transferring short-term memories to long-term storage. Without sufficient consolidation, memories may be lost over time.-Exercise: Exercise has been shown to improve memory and cognitive function. A study conducted by the University of British Columbia found that regular aerobic exercise increases the size of the hippocampus, a brain region associated with memory.By using these techniques, you can improve your memory and ensure that important information is not forgotten.1. What is the main topic of the passage?A. The importance of sleepB. The benefits of exerciseC. Strategies to improve memoryD. The functions of the hippocampus2. What are Mnemonic Devices?A. Tools used to improve memoryB. Acronyms used to remember people's namesC. Devices used to measure memory retentionD. A type of visual aid3. What is the purpose of repetition?A. To improve cognitive functionB. To commit information to short-term memoryC. To create mental imagesD. To group similar pieces of information together4. Which of the following is an example of visualization?A. Repetitively practicing a piece of informationB. Creating mental images to assist with memoryC. Grouping similar items togetherD. Using acronyms to remember a list of items5. How can organization help improve memory?A. Grouping similar items togetherB. Using acronyms to remember a list of itemsC. Creating mental images to assist with memoryD. Repetitively practicing a piece of information答案及解析:1、答案:C,解析:本文主要介绍了几种提高记忆力的技巧,所以选C。

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解It seems that electronic devices just keep getting smaller. Scientists in the United States have announced the creation of the first transistor with only two dimensions(二维).A transistor is a small electronic device that transfers or carries electronic current. Scientists hope these new 2D transistors will be used for building high-resolution(高分辨率)displays that need very little energy.Two groups of scientists created these 2D transistors. They report that the transistors are only a few atoms thick.Usually transistors are made with the element silicon(硅). Computer processors, memory chips, TV screens and other electronic devices contain billions of silicon-based transistors. But these very small electrical parts have certain limitations.Dimitris Ioannou is an electrical engineering professor at George Mason University. He says the traditional transistor has been improved as much as it can be. He adds that researchers have been looking for new materials with special features and they want transistors to be seen through and soft."If the layers are very thin, the transistor can become flexible, so it doesn't have to be rigid(坚硬的), like it would be in a silicon chip. So people can think of applications like wearable electronics, television screens and other things," said Ioannou.These new transistors can also carry higher current. They also can move the current much faster than traditional transistors. This is important for high-definition screens.Dimitris Ioannou says the scientific success could prove very useful in the future. "Now, how good and how useful it will be, it's still in the stage of research, but it certainly is an advance," said Ioannou.(1)Which of the following statements about the newly created transistor is TRUE?A.They are expected to be used in high-resolution displays.B.The transistors are made with the element silicon.C.They are rigid, just like traditional transistors.D.They have already been put into actual use.(2)What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?A.The traditional transistors have been changed into two-dimensional ones.B.Many of the traditional transistors have been improved over the years.C.The traditional transistor has been developed to its fullest.D.The traditional transistor has been developed quite well.(3)What is Dimitris Ioannou's attitude towards the creation of the new transistors?A.Negative.B.Neutral.C.Indifferent.D.Positive.【答案】(1)A(2)C(3)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,美国科学家发明了新的二维晶体管,介绍了新型二维晶体管的相关信息及未来前景。

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解"What kind of rubbish are you?" This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it was brought about weary complaints over the past few months. On July 1st, the city introduced strict rubbish-sorting regulations that are expected to be used as a model for our country. Citizens must divide their waste into four separate categories and put it into specific public bins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ensure that rules are obeyed and to examine the nature of one's rubbish.Violators could be hit with fines of up to 200 yuan ($29). For repeat violators, the city can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to obtain hank loans or even buy train tickets.Shanghai authorities are responding to obvious environmental problem. It produces 9 million tons of garbage a year. But like other cities in china, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on rubbish pickers to pick out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up. China produces 80 billion pairs of one-off chopsticks a year.Many citizens appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are frustrated by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or hazardous(有害的), the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules surrounding food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bin, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss(投掷)it by hand, Most annoying are the short periods for throwing trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out; no one wants to look bad.(1)What's the purpose of Paragraph 1?A. To complain about rubbish dividing.B. To explain the four categories of the waste.C. To introduce the rules on waste sorting.D. To show the goal of rubbish, sorting regulations.(2)What does the underlined word "Violators" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. People who don't pay for train tickets.B. People who argue with the monitors.C. People who obtain bank loans.D. People who are against the regulations.(3)What makes the citizens upset most about the rules?A. Complex distinction among the four categories of rubbish.B. Short scheduled time for tossing rubbish.C. Being observed by monitors when throwing the garbage.D. Being fined when blamed due to improper behavior.(4)What can be the best title for the text?A. A Restart of Waste-sortingB. A New Age of Garbage ClassificationC. Learning to Classify RubbishD. Rubbish-sorting Benefits the World【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)B(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道,介绍了7月1日上海市出台的垃圾分类规定,有望成为我国的一个典范。

定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校2014高考英语阅读理解基础训练精品题(110)及答案阅读理解-----Passage three(Advertisers Perform a Useful Service to the Community)Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism. Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair for self-promotion and because they have so much money to throw around. ‘It’s iniquitous,’ they say, ‘that this entirely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays…’The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for pr oducts. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement. Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration of calamities.We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!Another thing we mustn’t forget is the ‘small ads.’ which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the ‘hatch, match and dispatch’ column but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or ‘agony’ column. No other itemin a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is!1.What is main idea of this passage?A. Advertisement.B. The benefits of advertisement.C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.D. The costs of advertisement.2.The attitude of the author toward advertisers isA. appreciative.B. trustworthy.C. critical.D. dissatisfactory.3.Why do the critics criticize advertisers?A. Because advertisers often brag.B. Because critics think advertisement is a “waste of money”.C. Because customers are encouraged to buy more than necessary.D. Because customers pay more.4.Which of the following is Not True?A. Advertisement makes contribution to our pockets and we may know everything.B. We can buy what we want.C. Good quality products don’t need to be advertised.D. Advertisement makes our life colorful.5.The passage isA. Narration.B. Description.C. Criticism.D.

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解A great number of species make their home in the vast waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Although the entire ocean makes up an ecosystem, many smaller habitats are found within, including an open-water habitat off the coast of the Northern Atlantic Ocean known as the Sargasso Sea. Sargassum is an alga(海藻) that floats in masses that can continue for miles. The waters of the Gulf Stream push the water in a northward move into this area. This constant move and varying temperature support the accumulation of the brown-colored seaweed.The Sargasso Sea is so enormous that one method of information collection has not been enough for scientists to obtain an accurate picture of what takes place within this ecosystem. Researchers have needed to employ several methods of sampling. Methods such as dragging nets over the surface of the water and videotaping beneath areas of sargassum have served scientists well. Information collected has shown that the Gulf Stream pushes brown algae from open water into the Sargasso Sea area, creating a diverse floating habitat in an area that would otherwise not support that wildlife.In the most recent study of the sargassum community off the shores of North Carolina, eighty-one fish species were documented as using the area as a microhabitat. This is an increase from previous studies. The types of fish found here are both commercially and environmentally important. The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council is working to regulate the harvesting of sargassum. The Council hopes to have the area classified as an Essential Fish Habitat. Which would afford it certain protections.Further research needs to be done before scientists understand how to best protect the Sargasso Sea as well as understand how it goes about supporting so many important types of wildlife.(1)The author uses "enormous" in paragraph 2 to stress that .A. the Atlantic Ocean is really amazing in terms of its size and areaB. what the researchers do is highly respected by scientific communityC. the research work is complex because a large area must be coveredD. a large amount of money for the Sargasso Sea research is needed(2)It can be inferred from the phrase "needed to be done" in paragraph 4 that the author thinks .A.the Sargasso ecosystem is worth our attention and needs more studyB.the scientific community has ignored this complex ecosystemC.the Sargasso Sea is becoming a problem and needs removingD.new methods for researching the ecosystem must be found instantly(3)The text is mainly about .A.diversity of wildlife in the Atlantic OceanB.different habitats of sea animalsC.methods of information collectionD.the Sargasso Sea as an entire ecosystem【答案】(1)C(2)A(3)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了马尾藻海这个完整的生态系统,非常巨大以至于一种信息收集方法不足以让科学家准确了解这个生态系统中发生的情况,这里发现的鱼类种类在商业和环境上都很重要。

(英语)高考英语阅读理解基础练习题一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Education is not a bystanders sport. Numerous researchers have shown that when students participate in classroom discussion they hold more positive attitudes toward school, and that positive attitudes promote learning. It is no coincidence that girls are more passive in the classroom discussion and score lower than boys on SATs.We found that at all grade levels in all communities and in all subject areas boys controlled classroom communication. They participated in more interactions than girls did, and their participation became greater as the year went on.Our research contradicted the traditional assumption that girls control classroom communication in reading while boys in math. We found that whether the subject was language arts and English or math and science, boys got more than their fair share of teacher attention. That teachers talk more to male students is simply because boys are more aggressive in grabbing their attention by calling out answers to the teachers' questions first. While girls sit patiently with their hands raised or keep silent. Psychologist Lisa Serbin and K.Daniel O'Leary, then at the state university of New York at stony brook studied classroom interaction at preschool level and found that teachers gave boys more attention, praised them more often and were at least twice as likely to have extended conversations with them.Years of experience have shown that the best way to learn something is to do it yourself. It is also important to give students specific and direct feedback about the quality of their work and answers. Teachers behave differently depending on whether boys or girls are active to provide answers during discussions. During classroom discussion, teachers in our study reacted to boys answers with powerful, precise and effective responses, while they often gave girls mild and unclear reactions because of their silence. Too often, girls remain in the dark about the quality of their answers. Active students receiving precise feedback are more likely to achieve academically. And they are more likely to be boys.This kind of communication game is played at work, as well as at school. As reported in numerous studies, it goes like this.Men speak more often and frequently interrupt women.Listeners recall more from male speakers than from female speakers, even when both use a similar speaking style and cover the same content.Women participate less actively in conversation. They do more smiling and gazing, and they are more often the passive by standers in professional and social conversations among peers. Women often their own statements into unsure comments. This is accomplished by using qualifiers and by adding tag question. These uncertain patterns weaken impact and signal a lack of power and influence.Only when girls are active and treated equally in the classroom will they be more likely to achieve equality in the workplace.(1)What does the authors mean when they say“Education is not a bystanders sport.”? A. Both boys and girls should do more sports. B. The girl students should be the audience towatch the boy students' discussions.C. The boy students should not be too active in the classroom discussions.D. Both boy and girl students should take an active part in the classroom discussions.(2)Which of the following is Not true?A. Girls' scores are lower than boys on SATs.B. Girls control classroom discussion in reading while boys in maths.C. Boys control classroom discussion in both reading and maths.D. Boys are more confident in calling out answers to catching the teachers' attention.(3)The factors that contribute to the students' effective learning are the following except__________.A. The students can take an active part in the classroom discussionB. The students do it themselvesC. Teachers can give students specific and direct feedback the quality of their work and answersD.

高中英语阅读理解练习题100(附有答案)

1阅读理解技巧阅读理解题是考查学生对活的语言材料的理解能力,即通过阅读材料获得信息的能力。

具体说来,阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是:(1)掌握所读材料的主旨大意,以及用以说明主旨大意的事实和细节;(2)既理解具体事实,也理解抽象的概念;(3)既理解字面意思,也理解深层含义,包括作者的态度、意图等;(4)既理解某句、某段的意义,也理解全篇的逻辑关系,并能根据文章进行推理和判断;(5)既能根据材料所提供的信息去理解,也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。

根据这几项能力测试的要求,试题中常采用如下几种题型:事实询问题、推理判断题、数据推算题、识图解意题和主旨大意题。

根据这一测试要求和题型设计,答题时可以采取如下解题技巧和对策。

1.首先解题时要充满自信。

由于平时有些同学对做阅读理解时存在一种畏惧心理,因此考试做题时心理就难免会产生紧张感,特别是阅读时再遇到几个生词就头脑发胀,从而使自己的思路更加模糊不清。

其实这是完全没有必要的,因为阅读中遇到几个生词或几个难以理解的句子是常有的事,也是正常现象。

高考英语阅读理解基础练习题含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Anyone can try to lead a group, but not every individual is cut out for leadership. The better leaders possess a few qualities that can mean the difference between the success and failure ofthe group. These are the qualities the leader of higher rank will look for when choosing a leaderfor a group, or when evaluating the performance of a leader. They're also the qualities team members want in a group leader, and appreciate when they find them.Take ResponsibilityGroup leaders might share tasks around a group as necessary, but eventually a group leader needs to be able to accept that responsibility lies on his shoulders. That means that if things go wrong in a group project, he's the one who must accept the consequences and work out what mistakes are made. The group leader won't always have the power to control everything group members do, but he should be ready to admit any mistakes the group has made as a result of his leadershipConcern for MembersThe group leader has a commitment to the task or project at hand, but perhaps more importantly, he has a real concern for each and every person who is part of his group. This means getting to know the strengths, weaknesses and goals of team members, as well as making time to build the group through collective activities. The group leader should make sure that everyone is included, even if an individual is new to a group.Good ListenerThe group leader needs to be able to listen to the suggestions, complaints and ideas of group members. Not only will this allow complaints to be addressed and potentially suitable ideas to beput into practice, but a leader who listens will also encourage group members to share their concerns and thoughts, creating an atmosphere of free speech and productivity.(1)The passage is mainly about____________.A. choosing a good leader for a group.B. assessing the performance of a leader.C. team members' appreciation of a leader.D. qualities of a good group leader.(2)A good leader should always be able to_______.A. tell when things go wrong in a group project.B. recognize any mistakes as his own.C. make group members admit their mistakes.D. control everything group members do.(3)According to "Concerns for members", which of the following is a good quality of a leader?A. fairB. reliableC. determinedD. generous(4)Which of the following is not a benefit of the group leader being a good listener?A.

2014高考英语阅读理解基础精品训练题(110)及答案阅读理解---------------BIn 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage (=drink) containers. Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw material for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound end up buried in landfills(垃圾填埋场). The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plastic.Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence post, paint brushes, etc.As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life —and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value. Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually depress prices for used materials.Shrinking landfill space and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste-management option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to savings of more than $100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and reduces the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.6. What regulation was issued by New York State concerning beverage containers?A. A fee should be charged on used containers for recycling.B. Throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.C. Consumers had to pay for beverage containers and could get their money back on returningthem.D. Beverage companies should be responsible for collecting and reusing discarded plastic sodabottles.7 The returned plastic bottles in New York used to .A. be turned into raw materialsB. be separated from other rubbishC. have a second-life valueD. end up somewhere underground8. The key problem in dealing with returned plastic beverage containers is .A. how to reduce their recycling costsB. to sell them at a profitable priceC. how to turn them into useful thingsD. to lower the prices for used materials9. Recycling has become the first choice for the disposal of rubbish because .A. recycling causes little pollutionB. other methods are more expensiveC. recycling has great appeal for the joblessD. local governments find it easy to manage10 It can be concluded from the passage that .A. recycling is to be recommended both economically and environmentallyB. local governments in the U. S. can expect big profits from recyclingC. rubbish is a potential remedy for the shortage of raw materialsD. landfills will still be widely used for waste disposal[全解全析]本文讲美国纽约1993年颁布法令要求商场就饮料瓶对顾客收费后的执行情况。

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解When you live in total messiness—cookies in your pants draws, and some old New Yorkers or apple seeds in your bed—it's hard to know where to look for when you lose your keys. The other day, after two weeks of searching, I found my keys in the refrigerator. I can't say I was surprised. But I was surprised when I was diagnosed with ADHD(多动症), when I was a junior at Yale.According to a new study, 11% of school-age children have received an ADHD diagnosis, a 16% increase since 2007. And rising diagnoses mean rising treatments—drugs like Adderall are more accessible than ever. However, the consequences of misuse and abuse of these drugs are dangerous.Yet also harmful are the consequences of ADHD undiagnosed, an all-too-common story for women like me, who have symptoms, like disorganization and forgetfulness, which look different from those typically expressed in males.Dr. Ellen, author of Understanding Girls with ADHD, has found around 4 million females with ADHD are not diagnosed. "The main reason is that the diagnostic criteria were developed based on those hyperactive(过度活跃)young boys taken to clinics, making it difficult for girls to be diagnosed unless they behave like hyperactive boys." Ellen says.Besides, the idea that young women actually have ADHD often causes skepticism. As a top student, I didn't believe my diagnosis at first. My friends were also confused, and rather certain my doctor was misguided."Often, if girls are smart or in supportive homes, symptoms are masked," Dr.Ellen says. "Girls will hide their inability to meet social expectations. They see their trouble organizing, and concentrating as character flaws(缺陷)."These years, I am both embarrassed and exhausted by my struggles to keep track of objects, but drug has helped it and made it more bearable.(1)The writer presents the first paragraph to .A. air her view with an exampleB. bring up the topic of the passageC. show young people's messinessD. prove Yale also has ADHD students(2)Many female with ADHD are not diagnosed mainly because .A.the diagnostic criteria are made according to male ADHDB.they are smart enough to mask their ADHD symptomsC.they don't view their trouble as symptoms of ADHDD.women ADHD are more hyperactive than young boys(3)What does the word "skepticism" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A.panic.B.stubbornness.C.debate.D.doubt.(4)What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Why female ADHD patients develop the disease.B.Why many female ADHD patients are undiagnosed.C.How young ADHD patients are cured of the disease.D.How much help ADHD patients can get from medication.【答案】(1)B(2)A(3)D(4)B【解析】【分析】文章借由作者的亲身经历讲述女性多动症不容易被诊断出来的原因。

定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校2014高考英语阅读理解基础训练精品题(102)及答案阅读理解----------BIn bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (学会) of each new skill m the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe (严格的) over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.6. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills,_________________.A. should be avoidedB. is universal among parentsC. sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD. will make the child lose interest in learning new things7. In the process of children’s learning new skills, parents_________________.A. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB. should expect a lot of the childrenC. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD. should create as many learning opportunities as possible8 The second paragraph mainly tells us that _________________.A. parents should be strict with their childrenB. parental controls reflect only the values of the communityC. parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children aloneD. it’s parents’ and society’s duty to control the children9. The word “precept” in Paragraph 3 probably means“_________________”.A. opinionB. punishmentC. behaviorD. instruction10. In terms of moral matters, parents should _____________________.A. follow the rules themselvesB. be aware of the huge difference between adults and childrenC. forbid their children to follow hook teachingsD. always ensure the security of their children[全解全析]BCCCD在孩子成长过程中,父母不能拔苗助长。

2014高考英语阅读理解基础训练题(110)及答案【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(八)】CThe French word renaissance means rebirth.It was first used in 1855 by the historian Jules Michelet in his History of France,then adopted by historians of culture,by art historians,and eventually by music historians,all of whom applied it to European culture during the 150 years spanning 1450-1600.The concept of rebirth was appropriate to this period of European history because of the renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture that began in Italy and then spread throughout Europe.Scholars and artists of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries wanted to restore the learning and ideals of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome.To these scholars this meant a return to human—as opposed to spiritual values.Fulfillment in life—as opposed to concern about an afterlife—became a desirable goal,and expressing the entire range of human emotions and enjoying the pleasures of the senses were no longer frowned on.Artists and writers now turned to secular(不朽的)as well as religious subject matter and sought to make their works understandable and appealing.These changes in outlook deeply affected the musical culture of the Renaissance period—how people thought about music as well as the way music was composed,experienced,discussed,and circulated.They could see the architectural monuments,sculptures(雕塑),plays,and poems that were being rediscovered,but they could not actually hear ancient music—although they could read the writings of classical philosophers,poets,essayists,and music theorists that were becoming available in translation.They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why modern music did not have the same effect.For example,the influential religious leader Bernardino Cirillo expressed disappointment with the learned music of his time.He urged musicians to follow the example of the sculptors,painters,architects,and scholars who had rediscovered ancient art and literature.The musical Renaissance in Europe was more a general cultural movement and state of mind than a specific set of musical techniques.Furthermore,music changed so rapidlyduring this century and a half—though at different rates in different countries—that we cannot define a single Renaissance style.36.What is the passage mainly about?A.The musical compositions that best illustrate the developments during the European Renaissance.B.The musical techniques that were in use during the European Renaissance. C.The European Renaissance as a cultural development that included changes in musical style.D.The ancient Greek and Roman musical practices used during the European Renaissance. 37.The underlined word “now” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.A.1855B.the period of the RenaissanceC.tile time of the classical civilizations of Greece and RomeD.the time at which the author wrote the passage38.It can be inferred from the passage that thinkers of the Renaissance were seeking a rebirth of ________.A.spirituality in everyday lifeB.communication among artists across EuropeC.a cultural emphasis on human valuesD.religious themes in art that would accompany the traditional secular themes 39.What can be inferred about the music of ancient Greece and Rome?A.Its effect on listeners was described in a number of classical texts.B.It was played on instruments that are familiar to modern audiences.C.It expressed more different ideals than classical sculpture,painting and poetry. D.It had the same effect on Renaissance audiences as it had when originally performed. 40.According to the passage,why was Bernardino Cirillo disappointed with the music of his time?A.It did not contain enough religious themes.B.It had little emotional impact on audiences.C.It was not complex enough to appeal to musicians.D.It was too dependent on the art and literature of his time.36.C [主旨大意题。

全文主要讲述了欧洲文艺复兴的发展,其中以音乐风格的变化为主要例证。

]37.B [词义猜测题。

讲述故事时用now表示“那时,当时”,即故事发生的时候。

]38.C [推理判断题。

根据第一段第五句“To these scholars this meant a return to human—as opposed to spiritual values.”可知,文艺复兴时期的思想家寻求的是对人的价值的重视。

]39.A [推理判断题。

根据第二段的“...although they could read the writings of classical philosophers,poets,essayists,and music theorists that were becoming available in translation.They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why...”可推知选A。

]40.D [推理判断题。

从第二段最后的描述中可以看出,Bernardino Cirillo对他那个时代中的模仿的音乐非常失望,敦促音乐家来向古代雕塑家、画家、建筑师和学者学习,这说明他认为他那个时代的音乐依赖性太强。
