The second annual National Technology Scan conducted by Park found that the main reason why potential customers say they do not subscribe to the Internet is because of the low value to their daily lives rather than concerns over cost.Forty-four percent of these families say they are not interested in anything on the Internet, versus just 22 percent who say they cannot afford a computer or the cost of Internet service, the survey showed. The answer “I’m not sure how to use the Internet” came from 17 percent of participants who do not subscribe. The response “I do all my e-commerce shopping and YouTube-watching at work” was cited by 14 percent of Internet-access users. Three percent said the Internet doesn’t reach their homes.The study found U.S. broadband adoption grew to 52 percent over 2006, up from 42 percent in 2005. Roughly half of new subscribers converted（转变）from slower-speed, dial-up Internet access while the other half of families had no prior access.“The industry continues to chip（击破）away at the core of non-subscribers, but has a long way to go,” said John Barrett, director of research at Parks Associates. “Entertainment applications will be the key. If a nything will pull in the holdouts, it’s going to be applications that make the Internet more similar to pay-TV,” he predicted.41. What does the underlined word “holdouts” in the first paragraph most probably mean?A. some American familiesB. those who h old out one’s opinionsC. those who have been surveyedD. those who still haven’t access to the Internet currently42. Many potential customers refuse to subscribe to the Internet mainly because _________.A. they show too much concern about the costB. they can find little value of itC. they do most YouTube-watching at workD. the Internet doesn’t reach their homes43. From the passage we can infer that ________.A. It is not an easy job to transform those holdouts into the Internet usersB. people will adopt dial-up Internet access no moreC. many Americans enjoy doing e-commerce shopping at homeD. more than half of the population are using the Internet in 200544. According to John Barrett, what is the key to attracting more U.S. families to broadbandservice?A. making the Internet look more similar to TV setB. applying the Internet more to entertainmentC. providing more pay-TV programsD. chipping away at the core of non-subscribers45. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Web develops with technologyB. The present situation of webC. Many Americans see little point to webD. It is urgent to promote web serviceC Against the supposition than forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space.This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone（臭氧）levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years.Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burne d are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.46. According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent northern forest fires may _______ A. result in a warming climate B. cause the forest fires to occur more frequently C. lead to a longer fire season D. protect the forests and the environment there47. The following are all the immediate effects after a forest fire EXCEPT _________.A. large amounts of greenhouse gases enter the atmosphereB. the levels of ozone which is a type of oxygen increaseC. snow on the ground mirrors more sunlight back into spaceD. ashes from the fire fall on the ice surface and take in more radiation from the sun48. Earlier studies about northern forest fires _________.A. analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climateB. indicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphereC. suggest that people should take measures to protect environmentD. suggest that the fires will speed up climate warming49.

2021年高二英语：阅读专题训练（6）（新人教版必修3） Three blondes (金发碧眼的女人) were being trained to bee detectives by a policeman. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect (嫌疑犯), the policeman showed the first blonde a picture for five seconds and then asked how she could recognize him. She thought it easy, for the suspect had only one eye. The policeman felt disappointed at this funny answer. He showed the second lady the picture for five seconds and asked her how she would recognize him. The second blonde giggled, flipped h er hair, and said, "Ha! It’s easy to find the one-eared person!" Her answer also made the policeman angry. Turning to the third lady, he asked, "This is your suspect, and how would you recognize him?" He added quickly, "Think hard before giving a stupid answer. " The third blonde looked at the picture carefully for a moment and said, "HMMMM . . . the suspect is wearing contact lenses (隐形眼镜). " The policeman was surprised and speechless, because he really didn't know himself if the suspect wore contacts or not. "Well, that is a good answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file. " He left the room and went to his office, checked the suspect's file in his puter and returned with a beaming smile. "Wow! I can't believe it . . . it's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such a wise observation?"

Recently a European mission(委员会) tried to find out people’s ideas and reactions to the women’s movement. As part of theirsurvey(调查),they asked many men and women the question,” Who does the housework?” The men answered very differently from the women!The housework they asked people about were: preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and babysitting. 48% of British husbands said they did these things. 37% of Danish(丹麦的) men helped in the house. But only 15% of Italian men said they did the housework; many of them said they never helped at all!But there was an interesting point of view from the wives. According to British wives, only 38% of their husbands helped in the house. And Italian wives said that their husbands hardly ever helped. The Italian and British men did not tell the truth! The mission found that Danish men were the most truthful husbands. Their answers were the same as their wives’ answers.Do the men you know help in the house? Do you think the survey gives a true picture in your experience? Write and tell us what you think.4. The survey was carried out in _____.A. BritainB. ItalyC. DenmarkD. Europe5. The subject for the survey is _____.A. how many boys do the houseworkB. who does the housework at homeC. how many women do the houseworkD. who are more diligent, wives or husbands6.

More _____ husbands help in the house than _____ husbands.A. British; DanishB. Italian; DanishC. Danish; BritishD. Italian; BritishCEdmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of ets(彗星)which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular et was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but hecould not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a et had the shape of an ellipse(椭圆形).Now Halley set to work. He figured out(解决，计算出)the orbits of some of the ets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The ets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearance had been 75 to 76 years apart.This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different ets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the ore his thought that there had been three different ets as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same et three times. The et had gone away and had e back again.It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain though to make a prediction(预言)of what would happen in the future. He decided that this would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halley’s prediction could be tested. In 1758 the et appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that et had been called Hall ey’s et, in his honor.8 Edmund Halley figured out the orbit of ____.A. some different ets appearing several timesB. the same et appearing at different timesC. three different ets appearing at the same timeD. several ets appearing at the same time9. Halley made his discovery ____.A. by doing experimentsB. by means of his own careful observationC. by using the working of other scientistsD. by chance10. Halley made a surprising, but correct prediction in the year____.A. 1704B. 1705C. 1706D. 1707[来源:Z&xx&k]11. This passage in general is about ____.A.

always been his mother’s dream to hear him play the piano,so I took him in as a student.Robby tried and tried while I listened and encouraged him and gave him more instructions.But he just did not have any inborn ability.I only saw his mother from a distance.She always waved and smiled but never came in.Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons.I thought about calling him but I guessed he had decided to try something else.I was also glad that he stopped coming for the sake of my career.However,several weeks before the recital(演奏会) of my students,Robby came,telling me that he never stopped practising and begged me to allow him to take part.I agreed but I made him perform last in the programme,so I could always save his poor performance through my “curtain closer”.I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen one piece of Mozart’s.Never had I heard a piece of Mozart’s played so well by someone at his age.When he finished,everyone was cheering.I ran up and put my arms around Robby in joy.“I’ve never heard you play like that,Robby!How’d you do it?”“Well,Miss Hondorf.Do you remember I told you my mom was sick?Actually she died this morning.She was born deaf so tonight was the first time she could hear me play.I wanted to make it special.I knew I could.”That night,Robby was the teacher and I was the student.He taught me so many important things about life.24.Why did Robby stop coming to the piano lessons suddenly?A.He lost heart and believed that he would never make it.B.His mother was too sick to send him to the piano lessons.C.He thought his teacher disliked him.D.His mother died and he didn’t need to play any longer.25.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A.The writer thought playing the piano shouldn’t start too late.B.The writer thought that Robby had given up the piano lesson.C.The writer taught Robby carefully although he hadn’t a gift for music.D.No one else could play the piece of Mozart’s well.26.From

couldn’t play wellD.the writer couldn’t teach so many students at a time27.What did the writer learn from Robby?A.The meaning of true love.B.The meaning of giving up necessarily.C.The meaning of being kind to teachers.D.The meaning of believing in teachers.CMusic is not just a set of sounds and rhythms.Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience.Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.A recent study suggests that preterm(早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music.Experts led by Dr.Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta,Canada,found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests.It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems.Music can help recover from brain injuries.As a different and effective treatment,doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions.When people with neurological(神经系统的) disorders hear a musical beat,it helps them to regain a balanced walk.Though music cannot make deafness disappear,it really can stave off the loss of hearing.There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians.Participants were asked to pass some listening tests.Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians,and this difference gets clearer with age.This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician,even in a noisy environment.Besides,music mends a broken heart.It is not about a thrown-away love,but about a heart attack.The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure,slowing down the heartbeat rate,and reducing anxiety.Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions,improves the movement of blood,and expands blood vessels,thus,promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular(心血管的) system.28.How does music affect preterm babies?A.It helps reduce their pain.B.It helps develop their potential in music.C.It helps improve their hearing systems.D.It helps repair their neurological systems.29.What does the underlined phrase “stave off” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?A.导致B.增强C.延缓D.促进30.Why can music mend a broken heart?A.It has a positive effect on human body systems’ work.B.It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.C.It helps make a person feel optimistic about life.D.It can help patients recover in a slow way.31.What may be the best title for the text?A.Who can benefit from musicB.The best time to listen to musicC.The way to choose quality musicD.How music affects our mind and bodyDOn Nov.18,1995,Itzhak Perlman,the violinist,came on stage to give a concert.If you have ever been to a Perlman concert,you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him.He was stricken with polio(小儿麻痹症) as a child,and so he walks with the aid of two crutches(拐杖).The audience sat quietly while he made his way across the stage to his chair and began his play.But this time,something went wrong.Just as he finished the first few bars,one of the strings on his violin broke.We thought that he would have to stop the concert.But he didn’t.Instead,he waited a moment,closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again.Of course,anyone knows that it is impossible to play a pleasant work with just three strings.I know that,and you know that,but that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that.When he finished,there was a breathtaking silence in the room.And then people rose and cheered.There was an extraordinary outburst of applause from every corner of the auditorium (礼堂).He smiled,wiped the sweat from his brow and then he said,“You know,sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.”This powerful line has stayed in my mind ever since I heard it.And who knows?Perhaps that is the meaning of life—not just for artists but for all of us.So,perhaps our task in this fast-changing,puzzling world in which we live is to make music,at first with all that we have,and then,when that is no longer possible,to make music with what we have left.32.What made Itzhak Perlman’s performance at the concert special on Nov.18,1995?A.He was recovering from an operation.B.He was late for the stage.C.He had a quarrel with the audience.D.His string of violin got broken.33.Why didn’t Itzhak Perlman accept the fact on the stage?A.He was a person of self pride.B.He thought the audience didn’t see that.C.He decided to succeed with fewest conditions.D.He didn’t see the string get broken at all.34.Why did the audience give heated claps to Itzhak Perlman?A.They were moved by his disease.B.They were moved by his spirit.C.They were laughing at his action.D.They were encouraging him to cheer up.35.What is the best title for the passage?A.When you lose the most important thingB.How can you give it up easily?C.Playing a violin with three stringsD.Playing a violin to yourself答案：21.D根据文中“Good study habits.”中的“Review your notes daily rather than study for tests the night before.”可知答案选D项。

AThere are some Christmas traditions between the United Kingdom and the United States.Letters to Santa ClausIn the United States, kids usually write letters to Santa and put them in the mailbox. However, in England we throw them directly into the fire. We don’t plan to make kids cry because burning the letters can send them to the North Pole where Santa can read your Christmas wishes in the smoke. It may seem strange but it does save on postage.Hanging stockingsTraditionally, American kids hang stockings around the fireplace for Santa to fill with presents. But in the UK, we hang stockings around the bed; being surrounded by presents is a fantastic way to wake up on Christmas morning.Christmas puddingAmericans prefer to have pumpkin and pecan pies for the Christmas dessert; while we British are fond of Christmas pudding, which is a cake flavored with dried fruits and spices.Dealing with Christmas treeWe British choose to take down the Christmas trees and the decorations within 12 days of Christmas, because we hold the belief that keeping them beyond that time can bring bad luck. This is probably a tradition that Americans should consider adopting. I have seen people keep their old, brown, dry and withered Christmas trees until almost July 4.21. How do the British people deal with "Letters to Father Christmas"?A. Emailing them to Santa.B. Hiding them in the mailbox.C. Putting them in the stockings.D. Throwing them straight into the fire.22. Why do the British take down the Christmas trees as early as possible?A. To stop it from drying.B. To expect good luck.C. To save money.D. To reuse it for the next year.23. What do Christmas traditions between Britain and America have in common?A. Writing letters to Santa.B. Making pumpkin puddings.C. Hanging stockings around the bed.D. Keeping Christmas trees for months.BI am Tony, a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2019, I have done 99 trips-of those, 56 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor to the time they can be implanted (移植) in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.Last year, I had a trip where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: "Well, I’m really sorry, but I’ve got some bad news for you - there are no flights to Washington." So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: "In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom." She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, rerouted (改道) me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job, I’m consciously aware that in that box I’ve got something that is potentially going to save someone’s life.24. What does the underlined word "courier" mean in paragraph 1？A. provider.B. collector.C. delivery man.D. medical doctor.25. Why does Tony have to complete his trip within 42 hours?A. The operation needs that much time.B. The donor can only wait for that long.C. He can’t stay away from his job too long.D. The ice can only last such a period of time.26. Why did the woman arrange a new flight for Tony?A. To help save a patient.B. To avoid being hit by Tony.C. To get the stem cell.D. To drop everything.27. What does the author think of his job?A. Tiresome.B. Interesting.C. Meaningless.D. Significant.CThe famous British writer Charles Dickens, who penned the letter that led the signatures of resistance to street music in 1864, would be pleased to hear that, to be a busker (街头艺人) in London today, one must pass a strict "interview" first. Each busker must go through a shortlist process and then perform live in one of underground stations in front of three judges. Each musician must perform two songs (one prepared by themselves and the other selected by judges from a submitted set list). The judging process reviews the musician’s songs, musicality, technique skill and performance. If successful, the musician will receive a 12-month license to perform in the street. Last year, more than 600 musicians attended the "interview" and only 70 got license.The method of tipping buskers is changing. London is the first city in the world to introduce the electronic payment system (EPS). London mayor (市长) Sadiq Khan described London as "a powerhouse of music". "For London to keep its status as a global capital of music, it’s vitally important that we support the stars of tomorrow," Khan said. "Busking helps them show their talent and gives them the chance to perform in front of huge numbers of people. The new method means more people will now be able to show their support for the capital city’s many street performers because it’s more convenient for them to do so."Charlotte Campbell is one such busker who’s been helping to trial the project. After only two weeks, she said it had "already had a significant effect on the contributions I’ve received." She’s noticed when one person taps the reader to donate, others who witness the act often follow suit, suggesting people are more than willing to adopt the new way of rewarding buskers.28. What was Charles Dickens’ attitude towards street music in London?A. Favorable.B. Disapproving.C. Optimistic.D. Cautious.29. What is the 1st paragraph mainly about?A. The long history of street music.B. The way of playing street music.C. The buskers’ competition to get a license.D. The introduction of buskers in London.30. Why did London mayor promote the new scheme?A. To make more people help the buskers.B. To show London is full of buskers.C. To catch up with modern art trends.D. To reform street music’s performance.31. How did London people respond to the EPS according to Charlotte Campbell?A. They were opposed to it.B. They accepted it quickly.C. They paid no attention to it.D. They thought it made no difference.DAfter Bernini broke his neck and lost all movements below his shoulders when he was 18, his brain still told his hands how to move-but the message couldn’t get through the injured part that connects his brain to other parts of his body. Now, thanks to recent advances in electrical stimulation (刺激) technology, Bernini can once again grasp, pour, and even play Guitar Hero. To do so, he uses a microelectrode array (MEA) that reads his brain’s signals and sends them through wires to something like a sleeve on his arm that electronically stimulates his muscles.In the past years, researchers have used several approaches to guide patients like Bernini to move their hands. In some systems, researchers implanted (植入)sensors in shoulder muscles that patients could still control, allowing them to move one hand by contracting muscles in the opposite shoulder. Other systems use brain imp lants similar to those in the new study, but to control robotic arms, rather than the patient’s own muscles. But never before has a patient been able to precisely move his hand using the same neural (神经的)signals that controlled his hand before his injury.After implanting the MEA in Bernini’s brain, researchers connected it to a computer. Bernini trained the system to connect patterns of neural signals to specific movements by repeatedly mirroring the movements of an imaginary hand on a computer screen. Soon, Bernini could hold large objects like glasses and lift small objects like straws. He could also move each finger on his own just by thinking about it, which previous systems had never achieved. And it was absolutely an amazing moment.32. How is Bernini now?A. He does well in playing the guitar.B. He has recovered from his neck injury.C. His thoughts can control his hand movements.D. His shoulder muscles guide his hand movement.33. What did researchers want to do through brain implants in the past?A. Control the patients’ hands.B. Guide robots to help patients.C. Help patients’ own muscles contract.D. Repair patients’ injured neural signals.34. What’s the breakthrough in Bernini’s case, compared with previous studies?A. He can hold and lift objects.B. He can move each finger independently.C. He can recognize his specific movements.D. He can use neural signals for hand moving.35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Moving Hands by Contracting Muscles.B. Using New Systems for Muscle Injuries.C. Sending Neural Signals by Wires.D. Linking thoughts to Movements.第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

新高考高二英语阅读强化训练(含答案解析)
阅读强化训练(三)Ⅰ阅读理解Everyone has seen some young kids with music playing through their earbuds(耳塞), or girls rapidly writing messages on their phone. The youth of today are often addicted(沉迷于) to technological advancement whether through cell phones, gaming systems, or iPads. But are these technological advancements a good thing?Technology has a negative influence on us because it separates(把……隔开) individuals from reality. The iPod is one example. “For some people, the main attraction of the iPod is that it catches you so that you do not have to deal with the uncontrollable factors of everyday life，”writes Krystle Song on her website, a student from the University of California.The ability for people to surround themselves with the familiar by using their iPod is attractive because it rarely provides the listener with something unexpected or unknown. However, it can be argued that this is a bad thing. If we do not have to face reality by experiencing new things, making personal relationships, and solving problems, we will never be able to function as adults.Some argue that the Internet has a positive effect on social communication because it allows us to develop friendships online. However, the ability to meet people through chat rooms and other services is actually negative. There are dangerous people on the Internet who are a threat to young people. While some people think that the Internet can build openness，selfconfidence，and a great sense of comfort, it can also provide opportunities for those who are too depressed to lead a social life in the real world. It is extremely unhealthy to make and keep all of your social communication online. We won’t be positively influenced by communicating through a computer screen if we already do not have the self-confidence to socially communicate in reality.I believe the advancement of technology has negatively affected our social communication because it separates us from what is happening around us, prevents communication, and spreads the concept of immediate satisfaction. Society must be able to use technology while not allowing it to prevent social communication, particularly for those who are easily influenced during teenage years.【解题导语】科技在给我们带来便利的同时，也阻碍了人与人之间最基本的交流。

阅读理解1、If you’d like to go sightseeing, the following World Heritage sites(世界遗产保护地)may be your best choices.Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest AreaJiuzhaigou Valley, which lies in the northern part of Sichuan Province, China, reaches a height of more than 4,800m, with a series of different forest ecosystems (生态系统). It’s particularly famous for its narrow landforms and excellent waterfalls. Some 140 kinds of birds also live in the valley, as well as a number of endangered plants and animals, including the giant panda. Jiuzhaigou Valley was recognized as a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1992.Khami Ruins National MonumentThe city of Khami, which developed after the capital of Great Zimbabwe had been given up in the mid-16th century, is of great archaeological (考古的) interest. The discovery of objects from Europe and China shows that Khami was a major centre for trade over a long period of time. It joined the World Heritage List in 1986.Henderson IslandHenderson Island, which lies in the eastern South Pacific, is one of the few atolls (环礁) in the world whose ecology (生态) has been untouched by humans. It is particularly famous for the 10 plants and 4 birds that can only be seen on the island. It was recorded in the World Heritage List in 1988.Old City of JerusalemAs a holy (神圣的) city for three different religions in the Middle East, Jerusalem has always been of great religious importance.

And of course, many of these are on the World Heritage List (WHL). But the WHL contains a lot of sites that ar e not so obvious. Let’s look at a few of them.Robben Island in South AfricaThis island was used through centuries as a prison,hospital and military base. But it’s probably most famous as a maximum-security prison for political prisoners in the twentieth century. Nelson Mandela was one of its most famous residents. The WHL says it represents “the triumph of democracy (民主)and freedom over oppression and racism”.Borders of France and SpainThis is an area of great natural beauty and the mountains have many interesting geological formations. But it is also an area of small farms. People there still use a type of agriculture that used to be common in mountainous areas of Europe but has almost completely disappeared in modern times.The City of Brasilia, BrazilBrasilia is a capital city that was created from nothing in 1956. The WHL calls it “a landmark in the history of town planning”. The different areas of the cityand the buildings themselves were all designed at the same time carefully. Every part of the city shows the ideas of the planners and the architects.Simien National Park, EthiopiaSimien National Park was one of the first sites to be listed in 1978. It is one of the highest mountain areas in Africa, and the WHL calls it “one of the most specta cular landscapes in the world”. It is also important for its wildlife. The population of some rare animals is getting smaller and smaller.1.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The remains of ancient cultures on the WHL.B.The household heritage sites on the WHL.C.Some of the less well-known sites on the WHL.D.Important places of art and culture.2.Which of the following sites was listed on the WHL for its political symbol?A.Simien National Park, Ethiopia.B.The City of Brasilia, Brazil.C.Borders of France and Spain.D.Robben Island in South Africa.3.Why was Borders of France and Spain listed on the WHL?A.This is an area of great natural beauty.B.It shows us past European society by the type of agriculture.C.The mountains there have many interesting geological formations.D.People there still use a type of agriculture that is common in modern times.4.Which of the following sites is famous for the wonderful plan of buildings?A.The City of Brasilia, Brazil.B.Robben Island in South Africa.C.Borders of France and Spain.D.Simien National Park, Ethiopia.3、Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.According to the report’s key findings, "the proportion (比例) who say they 4 hardly ever" read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2-8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel (建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom (逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.1.What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A.Children's reading habits.B.Quality of children's books.C.Children's after-class activities.D.Parent-child relationships.2.Where can you find the data that best supports "children are reading a lot less for fun"?A.In Paragraph 2.B.In Paragraph 3.C.In Paragraph 4.D.In Paragraph 5.3.Why do many parents limit electronic reading?A.E-books are of poor quality.B.It could be a waste of time.C.It may harm children's health.D.E-readers are expensive.4.How should parents encourage their children to read more?A.Act as role models for them.B.Ask them to write book reports.C.Set up reading groups for them.D.Talk with their reading class teachers.4、One Moore Elementary school teacher is showing students the importance ofc ommunication through “shout-outs”. Third Grade Moore Elementary Teacher Lindsey Winders said a shout-out is a compliment(称赞) that students can say or write down. “ I noticed you doing a really great job solving your math problems yesterday. I wanted to make sure you know that I saw you do that.” Winders said.Winders said she makes sure she is giving shout-outs to her students every day. “I might write them a sticky note, or write them a quick little note in their planner.I might just say it to them on their way into the classroom or on their way out of the classroom, but most importantly I try to do it every day,” Winders said.In addition to the compliments, Winders has the students greet(问候) each other every morning during morning meeting. She will have students give examples to the class of how to communicate in different settings(场景). Third grade student Nayelli Moranchel said she had given at least six shout-outs this year. “It makes me happy, because they always write something back,” Moranchel said.Recently, Winders took it one step further and wrote a personalized note on each of her students’desk. “In our classroom, som etimes it can be challenging for me to give a compliment or a shout-out to each and every one of them in a way that feels equal(平等的) and valuable at the same time. So I decide that there is no better way than leaving a note on their desk that can stay for as long as they wants it to,” Winders said.Winders said it is encouraging when she sees her students copy the act, and give each other compliments without her guidance(指导).1.What does the underlined word “that” mean in Paragraph 1?A.Giving a shout-out.B.Solving math problems.C.Teaching important lessons.D.Writing down the names of students.2.How does Winders show her students the importance of compliments?A.By helping them take notes.B.By making practical plans for them.C.By serving as a daily example herself.D.By greeting them during morning meeting.3.What is the best way that Winders finds to give her students compliments?A.Leaving a note on each student's desk.B.Praising them as long as they want it.C.Explaining the value of compliments.D.Giving them shout-outs at the same time.4.What can we infer about Winder’s way of praising students?A.It is very successful.B.It is facing challenges.C.It needs proper guidance.D.It is copied by other teachers.5、Many people do not have enough time to play a team sport, so instead they have started going running. In the past, jogging in the street was seen as a bit silly and not very cool. But things are changing. Nowadays, lots of people go out running in their spare time. Some people go to lose weight while others go simply to keep fit. The shops are now full of equipment, clothing and gadgets for runners. Many runners also have special watches which can track their route and tell them their speed. Even at 4:30 o’clock in the morning you sometimes see runners in the street. And scientists say that along with cycling and swimming, running is a very good way to keep fit.Unfortunately, running is often quite unpopular among young people at school. Insome schools when it rains and it’s too wet to play football or hockey, children have to do cross-country running instead. However, now that running has become more fashionable, hopefully more young people will take it up. But, of course, trends (趋势）change all the time，s o let’s hope that running is here to st ay.Every year in April, the London Marathon takes place. The race covers a fantastic route in which runners pass lots of famous sites like the London Eye and Big Ben. People come from all over the world to run in the London Marathon. Interestingly, marathon running used to be seen as an extreme sport, but now even people who are very unfit take part in marathons every year! Not that marathons have got easier but that people have become more interested in running. After the marathon every year the streets suddenly become full of runners. People find it so inspiring that they want to try it themselves. All you need is a bit of determination, so what are you waiting for?1. What makes the author concerned is that .A. running will become out of date somedayB. students pay little attention to runningC. students are only into playing football or hockeyD. schools don’t establish the rules of competitions2. What can you see if you take part in the London Marathon?A. You will see London is the most fantastic city.B. You will be attracted by the energetic London runners.C. You will see athletes from many other countries.D. You will be allowed to visit the famous sites free of charge.3. Which of the following is the proper title for the passage?A. Running Is Becoming More and More PopularB. Youngsters Should Fall in Love with RunningC. The London Marathon Is Held Every Year in AprilD. Running Is the Best Way to Keep Healthy6、My First Marathon(马拉松)A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was "not athletic".The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!"By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a "marathon winner".1.A month before the marathon, the author ____________.A.was well trainedB.felt scaredC.made up his mind to runD.lost hope2.Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A.To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B.To amuse the readers with a funny story.C.To show he was not talented in sports.D.To share a precious memory.3.How was the author’s first marathon?A.He made it.B.He quit halfway.C.He got the first prize.D.He walked to the end.4.What does the story mainly tell us?A.A man owes his success to his family support.B.A winner is one with a great effort of will.C.Failure is the mother of success.D.One is never too old to learn.7、 David Beckham was born on 2nd May, 1975, in the suburbs of London, at a place called Leytonstone.

Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body. However,st udies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it’s not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It’s an opportunity to be social, release endorphins, and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. It’s a great opportu nity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision of a fitness instructor. If you’re tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that’ll keep your workout ontrack. Don’t let fitness frighten you!If you’re serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it’s extremely important to surround yourself with people who’ll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn’t scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn’t expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!Surrounding yourself with people who’ll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive. Don’t let negativity ruin your motivation.1.The first paragraph focuses on .A.the greatest challenge of group exerciseB.the most effective way to improve physical fitnessC.the contribution of group exercise to psychological healthD.the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups2.The underlined word "upbeat" in the second paragraph probablymeans .A.cheerfulB.averageC.seriousD.temporal3.When it comes to emotional support, the author thinks itnecessary .A.to sustain a colorful lifestyleB.to party on weekends with positive peopleC.to try a fun healthy restaurant regularlyD.to surround yourself with supportive people4.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Seeking SupportB.Supporting HealthC.Improving Your StrengthD.Building Up Fitness9、 In Kansas City,Missouri,a computer helps firefighters.The computer,which works very fast,has information about all the 350,000 street addresses in the city.Within two or three seconds after a call is received,the computer provides necessary information for the firefighters.The information is then sent to them by radio from the computer centre in the City Hall.The exact place of the burning building and its size,type and any other details are clear to them.The Kansas City computer system also has a medical record of each of the city’s 900 firefighters.This kind of information is especially useful when a firefighter is injured.With the information,doctors at hospital can treat the injured firefighters more quickly and easily.The firefighters themselves gr eatly appreciate the computer’s help.They know about possible danger ahead of them and can prepare for it.Many times the computer information helps to save lives and property(财产).Sometimes the lives are those of firefighters themselves.Mike Horan,a fi refighter captain,says,“I feel as if the computer is ready to help me if I get hurt.”1.Which of the following is the best title of the text?rge Computers in Kansas and MissouriB.The Computer Helps FirefightersC.Important Information for FirefightersD.The Speed of the Computer2.What is the best way if you want to know the information about the street address in Kansas?A.To ask the firefighter.B.To ask the policeman.C.To use the computer.D.To use the map.3.The firefighters can get information about a burning place which is sentby________ .A.radioputerC.the City HallD.the center of the city4.Why can doctors treat the injured firefighters quickly and easily?A.The hospital has a very good computer.B.The firefighters can know about possible danger early.C.The computer can prepare everything for them.D.Medical records in the computer help them a lot.10、 October 15th is Global Handwashing Day. Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Global Public-Private Partnershipfor Handwashing (PPPHW). The goal, they say, is to create a culture of handwashing with soap. The organizers say all soap is equally effective in removingdisease-causing germs (细菌). They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a little water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Then, wash well under running water. Finally,dry your hands with a clean cloth.The PPPHW says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the chances that people will wash again.It also says that washing hands with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea (疟疾),which is the second biggest cause of child deaths, killing more than one anda half million children a year.1.What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?A.To keep healthy by washing hands.B.To wash hands with soap.C.To take action to wash hands.D.To wash hands often.2.Which of the following is the right way to wash hands?a.Washing hands well.b.Covering hands with soap.c.Drying hands.d.Rubbing hands with soap.e.Wetting hands.A.a―c―b―e―dB.e―d―a―b—cC.a―c―b―d―eD.e―b―d―a―c3.Which fact can NOT explain why soap is important?A.It gives people a longer handwashing time.B.It helps to remove a lot of germs from hands.C.It attracts people to do more handwashing.D.It gets all people into the habit of washing hands.4.According to the last paragraph, diarrhea is a disease that ________.A.kills half of the kids in the developing countries a yearB.causes the greatest number of child deathsC.can be prevented to some degree by washing hands with soapD.can’t be cured without washing hands11、Buying books on the Internet is a great way to save time and money. Online bookstores offer new books and used books that can save you lots of money. They are far better compared to traditional bookstores as they offer much more kinds of books. Another advantage of shopping online is that you can also read the book reviews as well as readers’ reviews to get an idea whether the book is worth buying. Online bookstores offer great discounts (折扣)to regular customers，which is a big attraction for book lovers.For book lovers, the most important thing is to get books on time. Therefore, you need to find a reliable online bookstore that will be able to provide fast deliveries (递送）.Here are some tips to use when you are choosing an online bookstore. Some online bookstores are popular for fiction books ； some are for non-fiction books or novels， etc. Understanding their specialization will help you get the right kind of book in time. Check whether you will buy the books from a third party seller or directly from the website. Although the online bookstore could be reputable(声誉好的）， third party sellers advertised on its site may not have a good reputation. Never jump at stores that offer super cheap prices, as books sold at such low prices could be in very bad condition.Most of the popular online bookstores offer useful tools. One tool is a wish list tool on the website. You can change the list of books you wish to buy in thefuture. The bookstore will know what you want and will e-mail you immediately when the book of your choice is available.1.How can a reader buy a worthy book when shopping online?A.By comparing the service.B.By asking for discounts.C.By reading online reviews.D.By asking booksellers for advice.2.What do online book lovers care about most?A.The speed of deliveries.B.The author of books.C.The prices of books.D.The condition of books.3.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.How to choose a reliable online bookstore.B.How to avoid buying books in bad condition online.C.How to understand the specialization of an online bookstore.D.How to advertise on the website to get a good reputation.4.The wish list tool can help readers .A.learn about the number of the booksB.get to know more reliable booksellersC.pay for their books more quicklyD.buy their favorite books in time12、 Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young。

（英语）高二英语阅读理解专项训练100（附答案）及解析（英语）高二英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Generally speaking, government regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.There's no more room to bury the dead, they can't be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. "They have not taken local demands into consideration", he claims.A 2003 decree(法令) by Brazil's National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered as a preservation area.Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. "I haven't got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I can't die. That's ridiculous," Amarido do Prado, an unemployed resident said.The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. "Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never beapproved," said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant of the mayor. "But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery?" The bill states that "offenders will be held responsible for their acts." However, it does not say what the punishment will be.（1）What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?A. Ban on building a new cemetery.B. Ban on parking in certain zones.C. Forbidding buried grounds in preservation.D. Prohibiting residents from dying early.（2）What can we infer from the phrase "have gone far beyond that" in the first paragraph?A. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have made these regulations.B. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.C. The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.D. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.（3）What's the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations? A. He gives strong backing to them. B. He objects to them.C. He remains silent about them.D. He asks the residents for advice on them.（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. The bill has come into effect but it doesn't state clearly what punishements the offenders will receive.B. The residents of the town sing high praise for the bill.C. The government is going to change the unreasonale and laughable decree.D. No betterresolution of the problems has been thought out.【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）B（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，由于墓地短缺，巴西城市Biritiba Mirim的官员草拟了一份不准人过早的死去的法案，这引起了当地居民的争论。

阅读理解（二）1、 Is dark chocolate healthy? Yes,dark chocolate has compounds(化合物) that offer health benefits and can be enjoyed without guilt, even on a daily basis. But the amount matters, since too many bites can contribute to extra fat, sugar and calories and get rid of its health benefits.Dark chocolate is rich in cocoa, which contains compounds known as flavanols(黄烷醇). At high levels, cocoa flavanols have been shown to help lower blood pressure and the risk of diabetes. Dark chocolate has the highest amount of cocoa flavanols: milk chocolate has lens, and white chocolate has none.But while cocoa flavanols in dark chocolate make it a healthful treat they give it a biter flavor. Producers may process chocolate to make it more delicious, but doing so can remove some of these beneficial compounds,said Matt Hartings, an American professor. In spite of this,dark chocolate is still a healthier choice than milk chocolate, which tends to have more sugar. Additionally, cocoa powder contains minerals. So you can enjoy a piece of dark chocolate even after a meal. Just keep the following in mind.First, buy chocolate that has at least 60% cocoa. "Generally speaking,the higher the percentage, the more flavanols. These higher-percentage chocolates have the added benefit over the lower percentages and milk and white chocolates because they contain less sugar and less fat,” Hartings said.Second, if possible, choose natural cocoa over Dutch processed cocoa, which is treated with an alkali(碱). This gives chocolate a milder flavor but removes healthful flavanols.And finally, to keep weight in check, limit to 30 grams of dark chocolate daily, or about 150 calories.1.Dark chocolate is healthy mainly because of the existence of _______.A.rich mineralsB.less sugarC.cocoa flavanolsD.fewer calories2.What does the underlined word “treat” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Something enjoyable.B.A salt-free diet.C.Food paid by others.D.A cure for an illness.3.What can we learn from the text?A.Cocoa flavanols leads to high blood pressure.B.White chocolate is good for health.C.One can feel free to eat dark chocolate.D.Alkali can affect flavanol s’ content.4.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To show his love for dark chocolate..B.To promote the sales of chocolate.C.To provide facts about dark chocolate.D.To make a distinction among chocolates.2、 Many of us have reached in our pockets,feeling a vibration(振动), wrongly believing our mobile phones have just rung. The phenomenon even has a name: ‘phantom vibration syndrome’—and found it is surprisingly common.Now scientists believe that we are so alert(警觉) for phone calls and messages we are misinterpreting slight muscle spasms(痉挛) as proof of a call. Robert Rosenberger, an assistant professor at the Georgia Tech Institute of Technology has studied the delusional calls. He said sufferers describe a vague tingling feeling which they think is their mobile phone indicating it has received a text message or call while on “silent”. But when the device is retrieved,there was no one on the other end.Dr. Rosenberger said, “ I find so many people say, This happens to me, but I t hought I was the only one. I thought I was odd.” It seems that the syndrome particularly affects people at the beck and call of mobile phones or pagers. A 2010study by Michael Rothberg and colleagues found that nearly 70 per cent of doctors at a hospital in Massachusetts suffered phantom vibrations. A more recent study of US college students found the figure was as high as 90 per cent.While the odd feeling is widespread, it does not seem to be considered a grave problem. Dr. Rosenberger said,“It’s not actually a syndrome in a technical sense. That’s just the name that’s got stuck to it." He added, “Only 2 per cent of people consider it a problem."While widespread, the scientific community has not yet invested much effort in getting to the bottom of why we suffer phantom calls. Dr. Rosenberger said, "People are guessing it has something to do with nervous energy. The cognitive(认知的) scientists are talking about brain chemistry, cognitive pathways changing. But it’s not like they have brain scans to g o on." He said, “We have a phone call in our pocket all the time and it becomes sort of an extension of ourselves. We have this sort of readiness to experience a call. We feel something and we think, OK, that could be a call.”1.Why do some people mistake slight muscle spasms for a call?A.They all have a vivid imagination.B.They are sensitive to calls and messages.C.There are few calls and messages in their life.D.Sight muscle spasms affect them more than other people.2.Which of the following are more likely to have phantom vibration syndrome than others?A.Doctors.B.University professors.C.College students.D.The cognitive scientists.3.In Dr. Rosenberger’s opinion, phantom vibration syndrome________.A.isn’t a kind of disease actuallyB.is considered a problem by most peopleC.is a serious problem ignored by peopleD.has something to do with brain chemistry3、 It goes without saying, but bears repeating, there are too many cats and dogs without homes. While there are countless shelters and rescue centers that exist, some potential pet owners look to pet shops to find their furry friends. All too often, however, these animals come from puppy and kitten mills (繁殖场) that treat the creatures in cruel ways. San Francisco, however, is doing their part to stop this abuse with pet store adoption. Officials recently voted to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.The effect is two-fold. One, it will stop the popularity of the large-scale mills, which are famous for the miserable conditions cats and does are kept in. Two, it will help facilitate the adoption of thousands of animals that are waiting for their forever homes in San Francisco shelters. District 4 Supervisor Katy Tang, who serves on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, supported law-making on the ban. “Dogs and cats sold in pet stores often come from inhumane puppy and kitten mills that treat animals with no regard for their health or well-being”, she wrote on Facebook. In her message, she also called on the U. S. Agriculture Department to reinstate information on its website that documents these types of animal cruelty cases—it was removed earlier this month.San Francisco’s law-making is a victory for those concerned about animal rights, and they aren’t the first city to pass this type of measure. Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and Austin also have similar laws in place, with hopefully more places to follow suit.1.What happened to some dogs and cats before they got in the pet stores?A.They were treated cruelly.B.They were abandoned in streets.C.They received warm welcome.D.They were raised in shelters and rescue centers.2.Which of the following may Katy Tang agree with most?A.People should adopt the dogs and cats.B.Animals are too cruel to humans being.ernment can choose to kill all the dogs and cats.D.It is not right to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.3.What does the underlined word “reinstate” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.updateB.replaceC.post againD.download4.What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?A.No Chinese city joins this type of movement.B.San Francisco is the last city to ban pet stores.C.Americans care about animals more than humans.D.More and more cities are involved in animal rights.4、In today’s global world, more and more people travel to foreign countries. Cross cultural awareness and an understanding of foreign etiquette is important if you want to succeed as an international business person. Behaviour that is polite at home may be considered rude in another country. In particular, by learning about dining etiquette and table manners, you can avoid offending people and this can directly influence your business success.John Smith’s book The Perfect Guest is a goldmine of inf ormation for the globe - trotting business person. There are chapters dedicated to all the main problem areas of dining etiquette and entertaining in different countries and tips on how to cope with embarrassing situations.These are some of the areas which are covered in the book.Seating arrangementsWhether you are eating at a restaurant or at someone’s home, there may be a fixed protocol of who sits where. Do men and women sit together? Is there a hierarchy according to age or status? Rules vary greatly. For example, inKorea, it is customaryto offer the best seat to the most senior person; in theUS, there are no specific seating rules. If you don’t know where to sit, wait until your host shows you.ConversationIs the dining table the right place to have a conversation or is the meal taken in silence? In France, for instance, the meal is a social affair with loud animated conversations and most topics are acceptable, including business. In Japanor Vietnam, on the other hand, only quiet conversation is acceptable and business is never conducted at the dinner table.FoodWhat type of food is popular? Is it polite to remark on the food? Should you eat everything or leave some food on your plate? Is it polite to ask for the salt an d pepper if it isn’t on the table? And how can you deal with a food delicacy that you find disgusting? In Europe, it is polite to eat everything on your plate whereas this would be considered rude in Egypt. If you clean your plate, it will be filled up again immediately.1.Who is most likely to find the information useful?A.A business person.B.A scientist.C.A student.D.A soldier.2.When you are a guest in the US, where should you sit?A.In the best seat.B.Where your host shows you to sit.C.Wherever you like.D.Next to the senior.3.You leave food on your plate in Egypt ________.A.to show that you have eaten enoughB.so that there arc leftovers for the catC.to show that you don’t like the foodD.but it is considered rude4.The passage mainly tells us _______.A.cross cultural dining etiquetteB.cultural differences around the worldC.how to improve cultural awarenessD.why the book is worth buying5、In fairy tales, it's usually the princess that needs protecting. At Google in Silicon Valley, the princess is the one defending the castle. Parisa Tabriz is a 31-year-old with perhaps the most unique job title in engineering- “Google Security Princess”. H er job is to hack into the most popular web browser (浏览器) on the planet, trying to find weaknesses in the system before the “black hats” do. To defeat Google's attackers, Tabriz must firstly think like them.Tabriz's role has evolved dramatically in the eight years since she first started working at Google. Back then, the young graduate from Illinois University was one of 50 security engineers---today there are over 500.Cybercrime (网络犯罪) has come a long way in the past decade - from the Nigerian Prince Scam to credit card theft. Tabriz's biggest concern now is the people who find bugs in Google's software, and sell the information to governments or criminals. To fight against this, the company has set up a Vulnerability Rewards Program, paying anywhere from $100 to $ 20,000 for reported mistakes.It's a world away from Tabriz's computer-free childhood home in Chicago. The daughter of an Iranian-American doctor father, and Polish-American nurse mother, Tabriz had little contact with computers until she started studying engineering at college. Gaze across a line-up of Google security staff today and you'll find women like Tabriz are few and far between(稀少的) ---though in the last few years she has hired more female tech geniuses. She admits there's an obvious gender disequilibrium in Silicon Valley.Funnily enough, during training sessions Tabriz first asks new colleagues to hack into not a computer, but a vending machine. Tabriz's job is as much about technological know-how (专门知识) as understanding the psychology of attackers.1.What can we learn about Tabriz from the passage?A.She was the first female engineer at Google.B.She must think differently so as to defeat the attackers.C.Her job relates to not only technology but also psychology.D.Her frequent contact with computers in childhood benefits her a lot.2.Why has Google set up a Vulnerability Rewards Program?A.To protect Google against cybercrime.B.To monitor the normal operation of Google.C.To help the government locate the cybercriminals.D.To raise people's awareness of personal information safety.3.What does the underlined word “disequilibrium” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.Imbalance.B.Preference.C.Difference.D.Discrimination.4.Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?A.What leads to cybercrimeB.The "Security Princess" who guards GoogleC.Measures taken by Google to protect its usersD.How to become an excellent security engineer6 、Over seven months have passed since Panamanian officials launched an expansion of the world famous Panama Canal. Officials agreed to the expansion so that many of the world’s largest cargo ships (货船) could easily pass through the canal. Yet the $ 5.25-billion project has problems. It says ships still continue to rub against the canal’s walls and wear out its defenses designed to protect both shipping and the waterway.A dangerous systemThe canal links two oceans-the Atlantic and the Pacific-through a system of locks (船闸). The locks are like steps. They raise and lower ships from one part of the waterway to another on their trip from ocean to ocean.With the old locks, which are still in use, large ships would be tied to powerful engines on both sides. These engines help to keep the ships in the center of the canal. In the new locks, the ships are tied to tugboats (拖船). One tugboat is tied to the front of the ship, with the other tied to the back. These boats then guide the ships through the canal.At first, pilots of the cargo ships and tugboat operators would sometimes try to rub the boats against the canal walls as a way to keep the ships straight. But this caused damage to rubber padding (垫料) lining the walls.Not enough trainingEven before the expanded canal opened in June 2016, tugboat operators had expressed concern about the new system. Many asked for more training. The fears and dangers remain, although the boats are going through.The Panama Canal Authority reports that, between June 2016 and January 2017, there were only 15 incidents that resulted in damage to locks or ships. That represents about 2 percent of the 700 times ships that have sailed through the expanded canal.Pilots have argued they should be replaced with a system of floating bumpers (减震) like those used in some European locks. Officials say they plan to continue operating with the current system of defenses, but changes could happen in the future.1.What is the difference between the new locks and the old ones?A.The old locks don’t need rubber padding as defenses.B.The new locks need tugboats tied to both sides of the ships.C.The new locks are easier for the largest ships to pass through the canal.D.The old locks need powerful engines to drag the ships through the canal.2.What is the Panama Canal Authority’s attitude towards the expanded canal?A.Cautious.B.Critical.C.Positive.D.Doubtful.3.What can we learn about the current system of defenses?A.No ships shall rub against the canal walls to protect it.B.Nothing will be done at present to improve it.C.More training will be given to pilots for it.D.A new system will replace it.7、 Stonehenge,the world-famous circle of stone columns may have had a brother.A much bigger, older brother.University of Bradford researchers announced they had discovered about 100 stones covering several acres thought to have been built around 4,500 years ago. The Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project discovered the monument, which is near Durrington Walls,also k nown as “superhenge”. Stonehenge,which is believed to have been completed 3,500 years ago,is about 2 miles away. “What we are starting to see is the largest surviving stone monument, preserved underneath a bank, that has ever been discovered in Britain and possibly in Europe,” Vince Gaffney.The evidence was found under 3 feet of earth. Some of the stones are thought to have stood 15 feet tall before they were toppled. “Our radar data has shown an amazing row of up to 90 standing stones,a number of which have survived after being pushed over, and a large bank placed over the stones,” said professor Wolfgang Neubauer, director of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archaeology.“In the east,up to 30 stones. " have survived below,” he said. “The extraordinary scale and details of the evidence produced by the Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project, which the new discoveries at Durrington Walls, is changing greatly our understanding of Stonehenge and the world around it,” Neubauer added.“Everything written before about the Stonehenge landscape and the ancient monuments within it will need to be rewritten,” said Paul Garwood, a scientist andlead historian on the project at the University of Birmingham. The findings were announced on the first day of the British Science Festival being held at the University of Bradford.pared to the Stonehenge,the superhenge is believed to be _______.A.1,000 years earlierB.1,000 years laterC.3,500 years earlierD.4,500 years earlier2.What do researchers think of the superhenge?A.It is the biggest monument discovered in the world.B.It was built much later than the Stonehenge.C.It is the largest surviving stone monument found in England.D.It is better protected than the Stonehenge.3.What do the underlined word “toppled” most probably mean?A.Set up.B.Pushed down.C.Moved away.D.Brought up.4.What is the best title of the passage?A.The southern England has many historic sitesB.The British Science Festival will be held againC.Bigger Brother to Stonehenge has been discoveredD.The Project at the University of Birmingham8、 No student of a foreign language needs to be told that grammar is complex. By changing the order of the words and by adding a range of auxiliary verbs (助动词) and suffixes (后缀), we can turn a statement into a question, state whether an action has taken place or is soon to take place, and perform many other word tricks to convey different meanings. However, the question which many language experts can’t understand and explain is—who created grammar?Some recent languages evolved due to the Atlantic slave trade. Since the slaves didn’t know each other’s languages, they developed a make-shift language called a pidgin. Pidgins are strings of words copied from the language of the landowners. They have little in the way of grammar, and speakers need to use too many words to make their meaning understood. Interestingly, however, all it takes for a pidgin to become a complex language is for a group of children to be exposed to it at the time when they learn their mother tongue. Slave children didn’t simply copy the strings of words used by their elders. They adapted their words to create an expressive language. In this way complex grammar systems which come from pidgins were invented.Further evidence can be seen in studying sign languages for the deaf. Sign languages are not simply a group of gestures; they use the same grammatical machinery that is found in spoken languages. The creation of one such language was documented quite recently in Nicaragua. Previously, although deaf children were taught speech and lip reading in the classrooms, in the playgrounds they began to invent their own sign system, using the gestures they used at home. It was basically a pidgin and there was no consistent grammar. However, a new system was born when children who joined the school later developed a quite different sign language. It was based on the signs of the older children, but it was shorter and easier to understand, and it had a large range of special use of grammar to clarify the meaning. What’s more, they all used the signs in the same way. So the original pidgin was greatly improved.Most experts believe that many of the languages were pidgins at first. They were initially used in different groups of people without standardization and gradually evolved into a widely accepted system. The English past tense—“ed” ending—may have evolved from the verb “do”. “It ended” may once have been “It end-did”. It seems that children have grammatical machinery in their brains. Their minds can serve to create logical and complex structures, even when there is no grammar present for them to copy.1.What can be inferred about the slaves’ pidgin language?A.It was difficult to understand.B.It came from different languages.C.It was created by the landowners.D.It contained highly complex grammar.2.What is the characteristic of the new Nicaraguan sign language?A.No consistent signs were used for communication.B.Most of the gestures were made for everyday activities.C.The hand movements were smoother and more attractive.D.The meaning was clearer than the previous sign language.3.Which idea does the author present in the last paragraph?A.English grammar of past tense system is inaccurate.B.Children say English past tense differently from adults.C.The thought that English was once a pidgin is acceptable.D.Experts have proven that English was created by children.4.What is the best title for the passage?A.The Creators of GrammarB.The History of LanguagesC.Why Pidgins Came into BeingD.How Grammar Systems Are Used答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：1.C; 2.A; 3.D; 4.C解析：1.细节理解题。

高二英语阅读专题训练（2）新人教版必修3
高二英语阅读专题训练（2）新人教版必修3AMany years ago my student asked me the question, "Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?" Without taking time to reflect, I answered, "Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone's life." Even though I was sincere, that wasn't a very good answer and my student didn't let it slide."Let me get this straight," he said, "You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?" He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I'm one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:It's in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You can't have ripples without a "stone." Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that's what I strive to do.I genuinely love teenagers.I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I wantto do so. If they'll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too.Teaching isn't for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.41. Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher?A. Because he thought her answer was unbelievable.B. Because the writer was insincere.C. Because the student was naughty.D. Because the answer was difficult to understand.42. What do you think of the writer?A. Stupid.B. Honest.C. Conservative.D. Polite.43. According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?A. The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her.B. The writer’s answer made the student confused.C. In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach.D. The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.44. We can infer from the text that _________.A. the writer was also a good teacher in schoolB. the writer often plays with her students beside a pondC. the writer devotes herself to teaching and her studentsD. the writer often accompanies the students on their way home45. What’s the main idea of the text?A. A student’s silly question.B. A good teacher who likes students.C. A confused student.D. The reason why I teach.BAmong various programs, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "rubbish talk". The topics on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people's lives.Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes the TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a "final word". He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main audience are middle-class Americans. Most of the people have the time, money and ability to deal with life's tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to 21year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value andlessons to be learned through the show's exploitation.46. Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are ______.A. more interestingB. unusually poplarC. more detailedD. more formal47. Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows ______.A. show disbelief in themB. are ready to face up to themC. remain cold to themD. are willing to get away from them48. Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A. A new type of robot.B. National hatred.C. Family income planning.D. Street accident.49. We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows ____.A. have become the only ones of its kindB. exploit the weaknesses in human natureC. appear at different times of the dayD. attract different people50. What is the advantage of the Jerry Springer show?A. The show exposes the dark sides of society.B. The show pours poisonous waste into society.C. Jerry sums up the whole idea of the show.D. Jerry talks abou the improvement of society.CCan people change their skin colour without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin colour.The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.Scientists have changed the colour of a dark-striped zebrafish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish skin colour is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes(黑色素). The number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin colour.It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation(变异) in the gene for melanosome production. This results in less pigmented skin.However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun(太阳光紫外线), which can cause skin cancer.But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin colour, said Cheng.The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin colour without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.51. The passage mainly tells us that ________.A. people can not change their skin colour without any painB. the new discovery could lead to search into ways to change skin colour safelyC. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin colour as he likedD. scientists have found out that people’s skin colour is determined by the gene52. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. nowadays people who want to change their skin colour have to suffer a lot from the damage caused by the chemical treatmentB. Europeans and Africans have the same geneC. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancerD. there are two kinds of genes53. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebra fish in order to ________.A. find the different genes of humans’B. prove the humans’ skin colour is determined by the pigment geneC. find out the reason why the Africans’ skin colour is darkD. find out the ways of changing peopl’s skin colour54. The reason why Europeans are light-skinned is probably that ________.A. they are born light-skinned peopleB. light-skinned Europeans have mutation in the gen for melanosome productionC. they have fewer activities outsideD. they pay much attention to protecting their skin55. The writer’s attitude towards the discovery is ________.A. neutralB. negativeC. positiveD. indifferent参考答案A 篇：本文主要讲述作者从教的理由。

姓名，年级：时间：阅读理解1、Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road。
What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts（收银台） . The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles。
Eyeing these headwinds， plastic—bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume。
Among the bag makers' argument: many cities with bans still allowshoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport。

高二英语阅读理解专项强化训练(新人教版)_试题AToday, roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn't easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn't exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin's work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall.

Apples, which are about 85 percent water, grow almost everywhere in the world but the hottest and coldest areas (地区). Among the leading countries in apple production are China, France and the United States.There are various kinds of apples, but a very few make up the majority of those grown for sale. The three most common kinds grown in the United States are Delicious, golden Delicious, and McIntosh.Apples are different in colour, size, and taste. The colour of the skin may be red, green, or yellow. They have various sizes, with Delicious apples being among the largest. The taste may be sweet or tart (酸的). Generally, sweet apples are eaten fresh while tart apples are used to make applesauce (苹果酱).Apple trees may grow as tall as twelve metres. They do best in areas that have very cold winters. Although no fruit is yielded during the winter, this cold period is good for the tree.1.

The big question is why.There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.Myth the Number One: It's best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident.Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is able going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are "thrown clear".Myth Number Two: Safety-bets "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield witha force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres.1. Why did Elizabeth say to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthyif you're dead"?A. He was driving at great speed.B. He was running across the street.C. He didn't have his safety belt on.D. He didn't take his medicine on time.2. The reason father was in a hurry to get home was that he __________.A. wasn't feeling very wellB. hated to drive in the darkC. wanted to take some exerciseD. didn't want to be caught by the people3. According to the text, to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident is very dangerous because you ________.A. may be knocked down by other cars.B. may get serious hurt thrown out of the carC. may find it impossible to get away from the seatD. may get caught in the car door4. Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe _______.A. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accidentB. they will be unable to think clearly in an accidentC. they will be caught when help comesD. cars catch fire easily5. What is the advice given in the test?A. Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.B. Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.C. Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.D. Drive slowly while you're not wearing a safety belt.DWhen a group of children politely stop a conversation with you, saying: “We have to go to work now,”you’re left feeling surprised and certainly uneasy. After all, this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools, and that the “work” they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.Stage schools often act as agencies（代理机构）to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the name “stage school”are those few places where children attend full time, with a training for the theatre and a general education.A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After all, what lively children wouldn’t settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work, and acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 to 80 days.The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who don’t make it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.1. People would stop feeling uneasy when realizing that the children they’re talking to________.A. attend a stage schoolB. are going to the theatreC. have got some work to doD. love singing and dancing2. In the writer’s opinion, a good stage school should ________.A. produce star performersB. help pupils improve their study skillsC. train pupils in language and performing artsD. provide a general education and stage training.3. “Professional work”as used in the text means ________.A. ordinary school workB. money-making performancesC. stage training at schoolD. acting, singing or dancing after class4. Which of the following best describes how the writer feels about stage schools?A. He thinks highly of what they have to offer.B. He favours an early start in the training of performing arts.C. He feels uncomfortable about children putting on night shows.D. He doubts the standard of ordinary education they have reached.EExperts have put forward detailed plans for a tunnel to join Taiwan with the Chinese mainland. The shortest proposed route would be 126 kilometers---more than twice the length of the English Channel Tunnel. And the longest proposed route would be 207 kilometers.A recent conference in Xiamen, Fujian Province brought together more than 70 experts. The event was co-sponsored(共同发起) by universities from Taiwan and the Chinese mainland.Fujian is the province where both proposed routes would begin.There is no direct passenger access between the mainland and Taiwan by air or sea at the moment.Experts say that it is better to start research sooner rather than later, although there is a lack of government funding. There are no technical problems to build a Taiwan tunnel. But it will require an improved political relationship across the Straits(海峡).A professor of Tsinghua University said, "A special feature of huge projects is that the period of preparation is longer than the period of construction."For example, he said, the English Channel Tunnel took 14 years of planning and had been discussed for two centuries. And preparations for the huge Three Gorges(三峡) dam on the Yangtze River began in the 1950s.The Xiamen conference focused on the longest southern route, which would use the Taiwan-controlled islands of Jinmen and Penghu as stepping stones.The first stage of the new project could be a bridge to cross the five kilometres between Xiamen and Jinmen. This would mean that travelling from Xiamen to Jinmen by car would only take five minutes.The longest tunnel now being planned anywhere in the world is the 54-kilometre land tunnel to link Lyon in France with Turin in Italy. The tunnel will not be completed until 2015～2020.1. Which is the longest tunnel in the world at present?A. The English Channel Tunnel.B. The tunnel between Lyon and Turin.C. The Taiwan Straits tunnel.D. The passage doesn't mention it.2. The example of English Channel Tunnel shows __________.A. it's not easy to complete a huge projectB. there are many problems to be solved before doing somethingC. discussions among countries usually take a lot of timeD. the preparation takes longer time than the construction3. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Universities both at home and abroad have sponsored the plan.B. If the project is completed, the world's longest tunnel will appear.C. You can't reach Taiwan from the mainland directly at present.D. The starting point of the proposed tunnel is in Fujian.4. What is the possible difficulty in carrying out the plan?A. The lack of money for the project from the governments.B. Improving the relationship between Taiwan and the mainland.C. The detailed plans for the tunnel.D. The technical problems with the tunnel.FA thief who dropped a winning lottery ticket(彩票)at the scene of his crime has been given a lesson in honesty. His victim, who picked up the ticket, then claimed the ￡25000 prize, managed to trace him, and handed over the cash. The robbery happened when maths professor Vinicio Sabbatucci,58, was changing a tyre on an Italian motorway. Another motorist, who stopped to "to help", stole a suitcase from his car and drove off. The professor found the dropped ticket and put it in his pocket before driving home to Ascoli in eastern Italy.Next day, he saw the lottery results on TV and, taking out the ticket, realized it was a winner. He claimed the 60 million lire(里拉) prize. Then he began a battle with his conscience. Finally, he decided he could not keep the money despite having been robbed. He advertised in newspapers and on radio, saying: "I'm trying to find the man who robbed me. I have 60 million for him--- a lottery win. Please meet me. Anonymity(匿名) guaranteed."Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the cash. But there was one voice he recognized--- and he arranged to meet the man in a park. The robber, a35-year-old unemployed father of two, gave back the suitcase and burst into tears. He could not believe what was happening."Why didn't you keep the money?" he asked. The professor replied:" I couldn't because it's not mine." Then he walked off, spurning the thief's offer of a reward.1.The sentence " Then he began a battle with his conscience." In paragraph 2 implies all of the following EXCEPT that_______.A. he knew what he should do as soon as he saw the lottery resultsB. he hesitated about keeping the money for some timeC. he thought for a moment of avenging himself on the robberD. he came to realize that honesty is more important than money2. Hundreds of people phoned professor Sabbatucci because they ______.A. wanted to make fun of himB. hoped to get the moneyC. knew who the robber wasD. lost the lottery ticket3.The word "spurning" in the last sentence can be replaced by ______.A. acceptingB. claimingC. rejectingD. canceling4. If the story appears in a newspaper, the best title might be_____.A. A Thief's Lucky DayB. A Popular Maths ProfessorC. A Magic LotteryD. A Reward of Honesty参考答案A１．Ｃ这是一道主旨题。
