I was 16 years old in Nashville, Tennessee and I was in the Miss Fire Prevention contest. They had the requirement of having to have red hair in the final part until the year I entered the final. And to my joy the swimsuit competition was also cancelled. That year they were doing the question and answer period.''Why, young lady, what would you like to be when you grow up? '' And by the time they got to me all the good answers were gone. I had seen Barbara Walters on the Today Show that morning so I answered: '' I would like to be a journalist. I would like to tell other people's stories in a way that makes a difference in their lives and the world. '' And as these words were coming out of my mouth, I went whoa! This is pretty good! I would like to be a journalist. I want to make a difference. Well I was on television by the time I was 19 years old.And in 1986 I launched my own television show with the determination to succeed at first. I was nervous about the competition and then I had no competitor but I still pushed myself as hard as I before. Eventually we did make it to the top and we stayed there for 25years.The Oprah Winfrey Show was number one for 21 years and I have to tell you I became pretty comfortable with that level of success. But a few years ago I decided that it was time to break new ground. So I ended the show and launched OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network. But only one year later after launching OWN nearly every media said that my new attempt was a failure. Not just a failure but a big failure they called it.I can still remember the day I opened up USA Today and read the headline ''Oprah, not quite standing on her OWN. '' I mean really, USA Today?

As pack animals, wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each other. There are different explanations of a wo lf’s howl and it appears that there may be more to discover.One theory is that wolves howl to bond better together. It’s almost as if howling together helps the pack stay together. Perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together. But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H. Harrington, a professor who studies wolf behaviour. Indeed, there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus, and the next, quarreling among each other. It appears that usually the lowest-ranking members of the pack may actually be“punished” for joining in the chorus at times. So is howling a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members? —Why do wolves howl for sure?What is clear, however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other. Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from oneanother at times. When this happens, howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering.Howling, interestingly, is a contagious behaviour. When one wolf starts to howl, very likely others will follow. This is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort of “roll call” where wolves all howl toget her to report their presence.1. What is the possible similarity between wolves’ howling together and humans’ singing in chorus?A. The act of calling each other.B. The sense of accomplishment.C. The act of hunting for something.D. The sense of belonging to a group.2. Why does Harrington think the “social bond” theory may be wrong?A. Wolves separate from each other after howling.B. Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds.C. Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together.D. Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus.3. Researchers are sure that wolves often howl to .A. show their ranksB. find their companionsD. express their loneliness4. “Howling. . . is a contagio us behaviour” (in the last paragraph)means.A. howling is a signal for huntingB. howling is a way of communicationC. howling often occurs in the morningD. howling spreads from one to another【参考答案】43.1-4 DCBD阅读理解The summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art. My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles(风格). It was almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?First we had to read about ancient Egyptians(古埃及人) and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly (鬈曲的) hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn't see what was so great about art.On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother' s expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn't stop looking at this painting ! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to finda painter who could interest me so much.68. The aim of the mother' s plan was to _________.A. take them to visit the museumB. introduce them to the world of artC. ask them to read about artistsD. show them different painting styles69. What was the writer' s experience in the museum before the last visit?A. She came to feel her mother' s love.B. She liked many paintings.C. She hardly enjoyed herself.D. She could understand the pictures of fat babies.70. What made the writer go through a change that summer?A. One of Mary's paintings.B. A strange way of painting.C. Artists in the Middle Ages.D. Her mother' s instruction.71. From the text, we can see _________.A. the importance of curiosityB. the effect of artC. the value of learningD. the power of family education2. 答案 68.B 69.C 70.A 71.B2.（201*·重庆卷）Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease.On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.64. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.B. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inC. they believed disease could be spread in public bathsD. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease65.Which of the following best des cribes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?A. Afraid.B. Curious.C. Approving.D. Uninterested.66. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By providing examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By following the order of time.D. By following the order of importance.67. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To stress the role of dirt.B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.D. To present the change of views on dirt.【答案】CA CD。

南昌市最新高考英语阅读理解练习题(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解An experimental cleanup device called RemoveDEBRIS has successfully cast a net around a dummy (仿真的) satellite, imitating a technique that could one day collect spaceborne garbage. The test, which was carried out this week, is widely believed to be the first successful demonstration of space cleanup technology, experts told CNN. And it symbolizes an early step toward solving what has already been a critical issue: junk in space.Millions of pieces of junk are turning around in orbit the result of 50 years of space travel and few regulations to keep space clean. At orbital speeds, even a small bit of paint crashing with a satellite can cause critical damage.Various companies have plans to send thousands of new satellites into low-Earth orbit, already the most crowded area.The RemoveDEBRIS experiment is run by a company and researchers led by the U. K.'s Surrey Space Center and includes Airbus, Airbus-owned Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. and France's ArianeGroup.Guglielmo Aglietti, the director of Surrey Space Center, said that an operational version of the RemoveDEBRlS technology would cast a net that remains fastened to the main satellite so the debris can be dragged out of orbit. It could target large pieces of junk, including dead satellites up to 10 meters long.The RemoveDEBRIS satellite will conduct a few more experiments in the coming months, including testing navigation features that could help guide the satellite to a specific piece of debris.Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said the success of this week's experiment was exciting, but he cautioned against "over- publicizing" it. There are still enormous barriers to clear before operational cleanup tasks are underway, he said, and the most discouraging is figuring out how to fund such projects.Aglietti, the Surrey professor who helped lead the RemoveDEBRIS project, said "The challenge will lie in persuading the relevant authorities to sponsor these tasks." Aglietti said he hopes RemoveDEBRIS will conduct a few cleanup tasks per year, targeting the largest pieces of junk in the most crowded orbits.（1）What is the use of the RemoveDEBRIS satellite?A. Demonstrating space technology.B. Imitating a developing technique.C. Collecting wastes existing in space.D. Symbolizing great progress in space.（2）How does the RemoveDEBRlS satellite work?A. By throwing a net to take the junk from orbit.B. By fastening it to the main satellite tightly.C. By dragging satellites up to 10 meters long.D. By targeting large pieces of junk carefully.（3）What does the underlined word "sponsor" in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Accomplish.B. Support.C. Oppose.D. Provide.（4）What's the best title for the text?A. The RemoveDEBRIS Project Is PerfectB. How RemoveDEBRIS Is Invented in the LabC. Why the RemoveDEBRIS Satellite Is InventedD. Satellite Collects Space Junk for the First Time【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）B（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了“卫星首次收集太空垃圾。

[1] It is now possible to watch live sport on television on any day of the week, and the current amount of reporting will undoubtedly increase further in years to come. This is certainly having an influence on the live sports events themselves, and there are both benefits and shortcomings to this.[2] Why has there been such growth in televised sport? For one thing, with digital broadcasting, there are now many more TV channels than there were even ten years ago. Moreover, sport has become an important form of entertainment, appealing to both men and women.[3] What are the benefits of this state of affairs? One obvious advantage to the profession is the addition of money provided by television companies. Large football clubs benefit financially from TV income and the top players can command very large salaries. Less popular sports also receive money that can be used in training and awarenessraising. What's more, there is a he alth benefit to some of the population, because through televised sport, more people have become interested in actually playing sport.[4] However，________ if so much sport is on television. Considering football again, many small clubs have suffered financial losses recently, as they cannot compete with the large ones. There has been a general falling in ticket sales, especially among smaller clubs. Fewer people attend live matches nowadays, preferring to watch from the comfort of their living room. And ticket prices have risen greatly.[5] To sum up, while televised sport has created many opportunities and benefited certain people and clubs very much, it has also been responsible for changing the nature of live sports events for ever.1．What is the main idea of the text?

南昌市2014高考英语阅读理解二轮限时训练精品题（1）及答案【深圳市2014高考英语综合能力测试题（7）】AActually, long-distance bicycle camping is one of the most pleasurable activities I have ever experienced. I generally sleep poorly at night, but in the woods on a tour, I sleep like a baby, falling asleep with the music of insects. In the morning, I am awakened by the cheeps of birds. I eat a snack before getting up, and then I quickly pack my sleeping bag, air mattress (垫), tent, and other things and get on with my road. I'm slower in the morning, having less speed but a greater desire to stop at pleasant spots and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Traveling by bike allows me to stop anywhere, such as grasslands, lakes, woods, and scenic spots. Near lunch,I find a small grocery and buy some bread, sandwiches and fruit. Then I will finda town park or other shady spots to wait out the high mid-day sun. In the afternoon, my speeds are higher, and I spend less time on stops. In the late afternoon, I start riding more slowly, and I start thinking about where I will stop. I finally find a place in the early evening, cook a simple meal and have a rest. As it starts to get dark, I put up my tent, crawl in and fall asleep.There are exciting times and difficult times as well. Visiting strange or famous places and accomplishing goals are always exciting to me. I meet and talk with interesting people along the way, sometimes other traveling cyclists. Appreciating beautiful views, meeting wild animals, and traveling up and down hills also stir me up.

南昌市2014高考英语阅读理解二轮限时训练精品题（22）及答案【深圳市2014高考英语综合能力测试题（1）】CIs it hard to know how to react when your child hates reading, and even harder to figure-out how to inspire children to read? Try these meaningful steps to help move your unwilling child toward a book-filled future.Zero in on the child's interests. Before you do anything, take a step back and examine what interests, or excites your child. Knowing what-interests him or her can help you find out what types of books he or she may enjoy reading.Start small. That your child likes to ride horses doesn't mean that he or she needs to start by reading The A -Z History of Horseback Riding; that may be frightening, especially for an unwilling reader. Instead, consider watching a horse race with your child. Talk about the jockeys, the scores, the owners and the trainers. If the topic of interest is useless, start small by finding a magazine related to the subject. Reading doesn't need to begin with a chapter book; many other texts and various types of magazines can be worthwhile for these situations.Practice shared reading. Shared reading could involve taking turns reading pages, or you and your child silently reading the same book. Shared reading can vary depending on your child's age and needs. Most kids really want to spend time with their parents, but once children reach seven or eight years old, many parents don't consider reading together. They think it is only meant for preschool or early elementary school days. For the ideal shared reading experience, choose texts that are rich, interesting and sure to lead to discussion. Part of the "sharing" in shared reading involves talking about the book. Perhaps several of your child's friends and their parents can start a book club where the books read through shared reading are discussed in a welcoming environment. Besides, find a reliable, child-safe website where your child can post a review of that book.Unwilling readers are often struggling readers, so creating safe and comfortable environments where fluent reading is modeled and where children are set up for successis the key. Though there is no easy answer, it can help your child improve his reading interests.36. Why don't many parents consider reading with their children aged 7 or 8?A. They fail to k8now their childre n’s interests.B. They don't understand their children's needs.C. They think it unnecessary to do so at this time.D. They have not prepared well yet.37. Finding a child-safe website can_______.A. build up a good reading environmentB. help children improve book reviews on the websiteC. help children get some information from the InternetD. inspire children to create a review of the book they read38. According to the passage, in what order should we take the following steps to help the young unwilling readers?a. Set up a book club for children.b. Check what children like first of all.c. Lead children to start with something easy.d. Spend some time reading with children.A. a-c-d-bB. b-c-a-dC. b-d-a-cD. b-c-d-a39. We can conclude from the passage that________.A. these steps have no focus or directionB. these steps are not practical but easy to takeC. these steps aren't definitely reliable to operateD. these steps are not magic but every little step helps40. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?Central point=CP（中心要点） Point=P（要点）Sub-point=SP（次要点）【参考答案】36-40 CDDDA孩子不喜欢读书怎么办？作者介绍了提高孩子读书兴趣的几种做法，以帮助引导那些不愿意读书的孩子爱上读书。

【深圳市2014高考英语综合能力测试题（6）】AAlthough both American and British people can generally .understand what each other is saying, sometimes it is necessary to explain some things. Some words or phrases could be taken in a wrong way.One of the most noticeable differences is in the spelling of some words. For example, the word "color" in American English becomes "colour" in British English. Another example is the American word "theater" - in British English it becomes "theatre". Other words also have various spelling differences.Although some words are spelled the same in the two forms of English, they may have different pronunciations. The accent is .put on a different syllable in a word. British People pronounce their numbers differently from American people, especially the big numbers. They tend to add the word "and" between the numbers. American English-speaking people usually say 107 "one hundred seven ", while British English-speaking people say "one hundred and seven".Sometimes when using the past tense of a verb, "ed" may be used in American English, while "t" is common in British English. An example is "dreamed" and "dreamt".Vocabulary, of course, is a major difference at times. Because of the widespread use of American English, many British people are starting to use some American nouns to replace their British ones. So " lorry" becomes "truck". There are many other words that are being replaced as well. As is often the case, the same words have completely different meanings in the two forms of English. In British English "biscuit" is similar to "cookie", but in American English it is more like a dinner roll.There are also many other minor differences between the two forms of English. It is interesting to note that many British English-speaking people adore American accents. Likewise, many American English-speaking people love British accents. 26. How many differences between American and British English are mentioned in this passage?A. Four.B. Five.C. Six.D. Seven.27. How do American English-speaking people pronounce the number "309"?A.

American and British people don't like each other's accents.B. "Biscuit" refers to the same food in the two forms of English.C. "Lorry" in American English becomes "truck" in British English.D. The difference of spelling in the two forms of English is noticeable.29. According to the passage, the past tense of the verb "spill" in American English could be _______A spilled B. spiled C. spillt D. spilt30. What is the best title of this passage?A. The Differences Between Spoken and Written EnglishB. The Differences Between American and British EnglishC. Spelling Is a Noticeable DifferenceD.

南昌市高考英语阅读理解训练经典题目(及答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解As the President of Ariel Investments, I am often asked how to cultivate (培养) green hands to be qualified for a new job within a short time. My memories take me straight back to the days when I worked for John W. Rogers.While in college, I worked as an intern (实习生) at Ariel Investments. As the youngest girl of six kids from a single mom, I had very little knowledge of the business world. When I graduated, I decided to return to the company to improve myself.At the age of 22, my perspective was greatly influenced by lunching with the company's founder and then-president, John W. Rogers. He told me that I would often find myself in the company of rich and successful people with big titles, lots of degrees and lots of experience. And yet, my ideas could still be as good or even better, he said. This early advice became the guiding force that has helped me throughout my entire career. When I was starting out, I thought my inexperience was holding me back, but John said that it was a good thing. He told me that being inexperienced means that you have a fresh point of view.As my tutor, John encouraged me to be brave. As my boss, he took some giant leaps of faith to support me. Because of our first lunch and the years of support that followed, I never thought twice about speaking up, raising my hand or taking a seat at the table. Staying in the background was never a choice. But John's advice came with one important warning. I needed to keep my attitude in check. It's one thing to be firm but quite another to be rude. Similarly, there is a fine line between confidence and overconfidence. With that in mind, I have had to learn to balance the way I act around others. As someone once told me, "the goal is to be non-threatened and non-threatening at the same time."（1）What can we learn about the author from the text?A.She went to Ariel Investments after graduation for practice.B.She made her voice heard with encouragement from her boss.C.Her miserable childhood had a negative effect on her work.D.Her performance during internship was highly praised in public.（2）Due to John W. Rogers' advice, the author_______.A.learned to strike a balance between work and lifeB.contributed her ideas only after listening to others'C.no longer felt lost and became aware of her own valueD.switched to a different company to display her talent（3）What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Keep Your Attitude under Control.B.Encourage Your Employees to Grow.C.Let Your Success Be Your Noise.D.Live a Life with a High Goal.（4）Who would probably benefit most from this article?pany bosses.B.Those new to a job.C.Business consultants.D.Experienced teammates.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作为实习生，作者在实习期间受到公司的创始人、董事长John W.

南昌市高考英语阅读理解训练经典题目(及答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解A study published in the journal Science reveals that since 1970, bird populations in the United States and Canada have declined by 29 percent, or almost 3 billion birds. The results show tremendous losses across diverse groups of birds and habitats - from iconic songsters such as meadowlarks to long-distance migrants such as swallows."These data are consistent with what we're seeing elsewhere," said coauthor Peter Marra, former head of the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center. It's urgent to address ongoing threats, both because the domino effects (多米诺效应)can lead to the decay of ecosystems that humans depend on for our own health and livelihoods and because people all over the world cherish birds in their own right. Can you imagine a world without birdsong?"Evidence for the declines emerged from detection of migratory birds in the air from 143 NEXRAD weather radar stations across the continent in a period spanning over 10 years as well as from nearly 50 years of data collected through multiple monitoring efforts on the ground. Citizen-science participants also contributed a lot, for the analysis included citizen-science data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey coordinated by the Canadian Wildlife Service- the main sources of long-term, large-scale population data for North American birds.The study noted that the largest factor driving these declines is likely the widespread loss and degradation of habitat, especially due to agricultural intensification and urbanization. Other studies have documented death from predation (捕食)by domestic cats; collisions with glass, buildings, and other structures; and pervasive (普遍的)use of pesticides associated with widespread declines in insects, an essential food source for birds. Climate change is expected to compound these challenges by altering habitats and threatening plant communities that birds need to survive."It's a wake-up call that we've lost more than a quarter of our birds in the U.S. and Canada," said coauthor Adam Smith from Environment and Climate Change Canada. But the crisis reaches far beyond our individual borders. Many of the birds that breed in Canadian backyards migrate through or spend the winter in the U.S. and places farther south - from Mexico and the Caribbean to Central and South America. What our birds need now is an historic, hemispheric effort that unites people and organizations with one common goal: bringing our birds back.（1）The underlined word "decay" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to____.A.improvementB.worseningC.changedD.threat（2）What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.New findings of the research.B.Applications of the research.C.Data sources of the research.D.Methods of the research.（3）What Adam Smith said mainly implies that___________.A.bird populations in America and Canada dropped by a quarterB.the bird population crisis is not just within individual bordersC.there is little individuals can do to help increase bird populationsD.the solution to solving the crisis needs international cooperation【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。

Each morning at nine o’clock all the students, ranging in age from three to seven years old, gathered in the Great Room for a warm-up in preparation for the day.One morning the headmistress made an announcement to all the children gathered,“Today we begin a great experiment of the mind.” She held up two ivy(常春藤) plants, each potted in an identical container. She continued, “Do they look the same?”All the children nodded. So did I, for, in this way, I was alsoa child.“We will give the plants the same amount of light, the same amount of water, but not the same amount of attention,” She said. “Together we are going to see what will happen when we put one plant in the kitchen away from our attention and the other plant right here in this room. Each day for the next month, we shall sing to our plant in the Great Room and tell it how much we love it, and how beautiful it is. We will use our good minds to think good thoughts about it.”Four weeks later my eyes were as wide and disbelieving as the children’s. The kitchen plant was leggy and sick-looking, and it hadn’t grown at all. But the Great Room plant, which had been sung to and surrounded by positive thoughts and words, had increased threefold in size with dark leaves that were filled with energy.In order to prove the experiment, the kitchen ivy was brought to the Great Room to join the other ivy. Within three weeks, the second plant had caught up with the first ivy. Within four weeks, they could not be distinguished, one from the other.I took this lesson to heart and made it my own.1. Why did the headmistress do the experiment?A. She wanted to teach me a lesson.B. She expected the students to learn to grow plants.C. She meant to prove the impact of good minds on growth.D. She intended to show students how to save a sick-looking plant.2. What happened to the ivy in the kitchen at last?A. It stopped growing and died.B. It was leggy and sick with dark leaves.C. It looked almost the same as the other one.D. It grew better than the one in the Great Room.3. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Life Means GrowthB. Things Grow with LoveC. Equality Makes a DifferenceD. Positive Thoughts Really CountBThe World Wildlife Fund (WWF) says more than half of the world’s wildlife population has been lost, whichthe conservation group says has placed the health of the planet at risk.The WWF recently released its 10th Flagship Living Planet Report. The group warns the condition of the world's animals is worse than its earlier reports showed, indicating worldwide action is needed.The WWF is worried about the loss of and damage to Earth’s environment. The report provides information about more than 10,000 animal populations from 1970 to 2010. These populations are called “vertebrate species,” or animals with backbones — like fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles. The report shows these populations have dropped by 52 percent in just 40 years. It warns freshwater species have fallen by 76 percent, which is almost twice the loss of land and ocean species. Most of these losses are in the tropics, with the biggest drop inLatin America.Marco Lambertini, the WWF’s International Director-General said, “This is about losing natural habitats. This is aboutconvertingforests, grasslands, and wetlands into agriculture mainly, and it is about unsustainable use of wildlife. Illegal hunting has been actually increasing over the last 10 years, which definitely a driving force for extinction, particularly of large species.”The report also notes what it calls the world’s “Ecological Footprint”, that is, the effect of human activities on the planet. Mr. Lambertini says there has been an increase in carbon dioxide gases and the pouring of nitrogen into oceans and rivers from fertilizers used in agriculture, which certainly cannot continue.“We are consuming on average every year about the equivalent of about 1.5, one and a half times the resources available to the planet. That means we are cutting trees more quickly than they can be restored. We are fishing the oceans more quickly than fishing stocks can reproduce, and we are emitting in the atmosphere more CO2than the natural systems can actually absorb, which is clearly not sustainable.”Mr. Lambertini warns climate change affects almost everyone on the planet and that whole species may disappear if the world does not reduce the effects of humans on the climate.4.

The decision was announced during the online meeting of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage held from December 14 to19 inKingston, capital ofJamaica.“Born in the mid-17th century in a small village named Chenjiagou located in Central China's Henan province, Tai Chi is not only a kind of traditional Wushu integrated with slow movements and deep breathing, but is also deeply rooted in many areas of Chinese culture, such as medicine and philosophy,”Zhu Xianghua says, who is the son of the famous Tai Chi master Zhu Tiancai.Although it has spread to more than 150 countries and regions, attracting more than 100 million people topractice, the idea that Tai Chi is for the elderly has stopped many young people practicing the ancient Wushu. They think of it as a slow exercise, which is specially made and better suited for their grandparents. Instead, many young people are turning to the Indian practice of yoga（瑜伽）to relieve stress, which was placed on the UNESCO's List in 2019.In order to promote Tai Chi, joint efforts have been made from individuals and the Chinese government in the last decades. Xi'an Jiaotong University requires students to learn Tai Chi. Wang Yunbing, a professor in the university's sports center, stressed that Tai Chi is not only good physical exercise-researchers from the American College of Rheumatology find that it can help manage several diseases but is also conned ted to ancient Chinese eivilization. Since 2014, the World Tai Chi Championships have been held every two years by the International Wushu Federation. It provides a platform for communication and learning between the Tai Chi masters and Tai Chi lovers around the globe. In January 2020, Tai Chi became an official event in the 2026 Dakar Youth Olympic Games.8. What does Zhu Xianghua say about Tai Chi in paragraph 2?A. It originated from fast Kung Fu action.B.

Although she only worked for him for a few weeks, she remained good friends with Alfred Nobel for the next 20 years. When she became involved in the peace movement inEurope, she promised to keep Nobel informed of its progress. When Alfred Nobel died in 1896, his will included the establishment of a peace prize, thanks to Bertha von Suttner’s influence.Bertha von Suttner was born in an aristocratic (贵族) military family, but she spent the second half of her life working for peace. She wrote books, attended peace conferences, gave lectures and helped organize peace societies inAustria,GermanyandHungary, as well as the International Peace Bureau inSwitzerland. Her novel Lay Down your Arms, was one of the most influential anti-war books of all time, and helped to make her a leader of the peace movement in Europe. Its end to war theme was both the ambition (抱负) and the most important goal in the life of this great woman.Bertha von Suttner worked so hard for peace because she believed that a terrible war would break out inEuropeif nations didn’t work hard to establish lasting peace institutions. She made many major achievements for a more peaceful world, but two months after she died, World War I broke out. A hundred years after she won the Nobel Peace Prize, nations still seem to view war as a choice to work out their problems.

南昌市2014高考英语阅读理解二轮限时训练精品题（16）及答案【山东省青岛市2014高考英语一模】CMany independent Chinese women like to earn their own bread, even if their husbands are already bringing home the bacon. But a recent survey suggests that such women find more joy from relationships, rather than successful careers.About 73 percent of the 7,000 women surveyed in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou said they would choose to work even if their husbands earned enough for the family. The survey also found that 77 percent define happiness as "enjoying a relationship". But striking a balance between career and family can bring challenges to the woman's career advancement."In my company, women usually have an equal or even a higher starting salary than men," said Li Hua, general manager of Beijing Chuangjiashe Book Circulation Company. "However, as they begin to climb up the career ladder, women often meet problems along the way, while men can climb the ladder more easily."Both physical and emotional differences can prevent some women from taking tough positions, Li said. But family life is often the main difficulty for Chinese career women.Despite these challenges, however, some experts believe it's reasonable for some women to want to be breadwinners."In this way, the roles of a family are decided by the parents' abilities rather than their gender（性别）," said Gu Donghui, a sociology professor at Fudan University. Gu says women should have the freedom to decide if they want to stay at home or work to support the family. "Everyone has a different interpretation（解释）of what it means to find self-worth".Wang Haibin, an economic expert from Renmin University shares that view: "Traditionally, we tend to regard the family as the cell unit of society. Some members have always been expected to make sacrifices for it. But, it really doesn't matter who earns more. Economic independence and personal choice is essential for both sexesin the family."51.From the passage we know that ______.A. many husbands can’t earn enoughB. most women want to support their families themselvesC. women meet fewer problems than men while workingD. many women want to make more friends while working52. What brings career women more joy and happiness according to the passage?A. MoneyB. RelationshipsC. ChallengesD. Successful careers53. What's the main problem that career women meet while working?A. Family lifeB. Tough positionsC. Physical differenceD. The career ladder54.Some women want to be breadwinners probably because ______.A. their families are poorB. they have a lot of childrenC. they want to show their self-worthD. their husbands do not work55. Who should make sacrifice for the family according to the passage?A. The wifeB. The husbandC. Either of themD. Neither of them【参考答案】51-55 DBACC【山东省青岛市2014高考英语一模】DBeloved teacher Michael Landsberry, a former Marine, died a hero at Sparks Middle School in Nevada on Monday in another tragic campus shooting.The 45-year-old was killed while trying to talk to the unidentified 12-year-old gunman, who later killed himself."He was telling him to stop and put the gun down," student Jose Cazares told Today on Tuesday. "Then the kid, he yelled out, 'No!' Like, he was yelling at him, and he shot him. The teacher was calm, he was holding out his hand like, 'Put the gun in my hand.' "Students, parents and fellow teachers are calling Landsberry's actions heroic. Tom Robinson, vice chief with the Reno Police Department, also praised him, saying, "In my estimation, he is a hero. We do know he was trying to intervene (干预，调停)."Landsberry, who went by the nickname Batman, and coached sports teams at the middle school and neighboring high school, was remembered fondly on social media by many students."It's just so sad knowing he left because he protected his students," one of the posts said, followed by another that read, "The sad part is this week it's his and his wife's anniversary and his daughter graduates from the military tomorrow."CNN reports that two students who were wounded by the shooter –who used a Ruger 9 mm semi-automatic(半自动的) handgun –are currently in stable condition in hospital.Authorities will not be releasing the identity (身份)of the shooter out of respect for his parents, but schoolmate Amaya Newton was shocked by his actions, calling the gunman "a really nice kid," adding, "He would make you smile when you were having a bad day.""Everybody wants to know why the shooter opened fire," Sparks vice chief Tom Miller said at a news conference.

Unfortunately, the water there is far too deep for even the tallest windmills (see picture) to touch bottom. An experiment under way off the coast of Norway, however, could help put them anywhere.The project, called Hywind, is the world’s first large-scale deepwater wind turbine (涡轮发电机). Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton, 2. 3-megawatt turbine, Hywind represents totally new technology. The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar(see picture), a technology Hywind’s creator, the Norwegian company StatoilHydro, has developed recently. The steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cables (缆索); these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down i n the waves. Hywind’s stability (稳定性) in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. If all goes according to plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern Norway as early as September.To produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than Hywind does, but it’s difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a floating spar in the middle of the ocean. To make that turbine heavier, the whole spar’s centre of gravity must be moved much closer to the ocean’s surface. To do that, the company plans to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox (变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades (see picture).Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection. If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planet’s surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available.1. The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of .A. the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floorB. the spar which is floating in deep-sea waterC. the blades driven by strong and steady sea windD. the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface2. To balance a bigger turbine high on a floating spar, a new type of turbine is to be designed with its gearbox sitting .A. on the sea floorB. on the spar topC. at sea levelD. behind the blades3. Wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can .A. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmillsB. make financial profits by producing more turbinesC. settle the arguments about environmental problemsD. explore low-carbon power resources available at sea【参考答案】44.1-3 BCD阅读理解Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made. Your future begins here.However, you will find college life is different from your previous schoolenvironment. Many of us can be easily overwhelmed(压垮) by the details of running a well-balanced life. While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of other who have walked the college halls before you.The following you may find of use about life on campus.1.Plan well. There are so many new things to do at a new college or university, social and academic(学术的). Give yourself time to make new friends and become familiar with the campus, but don’t forget why you are there. Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely.2.If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now (like a day time,a computer date book), get one. Most of all, don’t depend on your memory.3.Don’t miss the guidelines, restrictions, rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your student handbook. Consider them well-balanced food for thought. What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can/can’t you do in your student residence(住处)? Who has authority for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?4.Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of our bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table. Consider this –you are paying thousands of dollars for courses. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.9. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To offer advice on college life.B. To explain why college life is exciting.C. To describe the importance of college life.D. To persuade you to go to college ]10. From the passage, we can know .A. one will have more freedom at collegeB. one will make more friends at collegeC. one prepares for one’s future career and life at collegeD. professors at college will provide you with many new ideas11. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “know-how” (in Paragraph2)?A. An understanding of how things are going at college.B. A practical knowledge about how to behave and what to do at college.C. College halls where rules and regulations are presented.D. An environment completely different from the one you’re used to.12. According to the passage, college students .A. needn’t learn from those who went to college before themB. should spend as much time as possible on social activitiesC. should have a “system” for planning their timeD. are supposed to repeat or replace at least one course参考答案ACBC阅读理解-计划愿望和节假日活动Everyone knows about straight-A students. We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge(复仇) of the Nerds. They get high grades, all right, but only by becoming dull laborers, their noses always stuck in a book. They are not good at social communication and look clumsy when it comes to sports.How, then, do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres?Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High School. She also sings in the choral group, serves on the student council(学生会) and is a member of the mathematics society. For two years she has maintained A's in every subject. Melendres, now a freshman at the University of New Mexico, was student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque. He played soccer and basketball well, exhibited at the science fair, and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station. Being a speech giver at the graduation ceremony, he achieved straight A's in his regular classes,plus bonus points for A's in two college-level courses.How do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it? Brains aren't the only answer. "Top grades don't always go to the brightest students," declares Herbert Walberg, professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who has conducted major studies of super-achieving students. "Knowing how to make the most of your innate(天赋的) abilities counts for more. Much more."In fact, Walberg says, students with high I.Q.s sometimes don't do as well as classmates with lower I.Q.s. For them, learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down.Hard work isn't the whole story, either. "It's not how long you sit there with the books open," said one of the many A students we interviewed. "It's what you do while you're sitting." Indeed, some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates.The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn.1.T he “n erds” can probably be __________.A.dull bookworms lacking sports and social skillsB.successful top students popular with their peersC.students with certain learning difficultiesD.born leaders crazy about social activities2.What can we conclude from the first paragraph?A.Most TV programs and films are about straight-A students.B.People have unfavorable impression of straight-A students.C.Everyone knows about straight-A students from TV or films.D.Straight-A students are well admired by people in the society.3.Some students become super-achievers mainly because ________.A.they are born cleverer than othersB.they worker longer hours on studyC.they make full use of their abilitiesD.they know the short cut to success4.What will be talked about after the last paragraph?A.The interviews with more students.B.The role I.Q. plays in learning well.C.The techniques to be better learners.D.The achievements top students make.5.What can we infer from the passage?A.Students needn’t work hard on study any more.B.The brightest students can never get top grades.C.Top students certainly achieve all-around developments.D.Students with average I.Q.s can become super-achievers. 参考答案 1—5 A B C C D。

较难题目特训：节能环保类SCS Global Services （SCS） has evaluated a new methodology for measuring the carbon sequestration（封存） ability of soil under the Verified（验证） Carbon Standard （VCS）, a leading greenhouse gas （GHG） accounting system. The methodology, developed by The Earth Partners, will allow land managers who sequester GHGs in grasslands and farmlands to produce carbon credits for sale in the voluntary market.Managers of grasslands and farmlands can increase carbon sequestration in soil by practices such as changing grazing（放牧） practices and operating treatments designed to improve the variety and productivity of plant groups. The Earth Partners is presently piloting this methodology with farmers across seven million acres of the Palouse River and Columbia Plateau regions in the Pacific Northwest.“The VCS p rogram has achieved an important milestone in now combining grassland and rangeland carbon offset（抵消，补偿） projects," said Dr. Robert J. Hrubes, Executive Vice President of SCS."SCS looks forward to approving and verifying agricultural carbon offset projects that use this very powerful new methodology."The VM0021 Soil Carbon Quantification Methodology is based on decades of soil carbon research and testing conducted by top soil scientists. The methodology was developedby The Earth Partners and verified by Environmental Services, Inc. as well as SCS Global Services. It is the first soil carbon methodology to be approved for use under the VCS."This widely tested methodology is the first to specially deal with soils in a market," said Steven I. Apfelbaum, Chairman of Applied Ecological Services, Inc. and Director of Science with The Earth Partners. According to Apfelbaum, soils represent the second largest living sink of carbon on the planet.68. The new methodology is assessed according to .A. The Earth PartnersB. the Verified Carbon StandardC.

The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same tome.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits,study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong kong.In Chicago, the mayor(市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.The only problem arose in New York ,where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns,where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energyAnd passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.Ultinatel was Nancy points out,the level of sucicess is not meastured by how many people read a book,but by how many people are enriched by the process.or have enjoyedspeaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.46.What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A.To invite authors to guide readers.B.To encourage people to read and share.C.To involve people in communnity service.D.To promote the friendship between cities.47.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the projict?A.They had little interest in reading.B.They were too busy to read a book.C.They came from many different backgroundsD.They lacked support from the locat government48.According to the passage,where would the project be more easily carried out?A.In large communities with little sense of unityB.In large cities where libraries are far from homeC.In medium-sized cities with a diverse populationD.In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached49.The underlined words“shared a word”in Paragraph 5 probably meanA.exchanged ideas with each otherB.discussed the meaning of a wordC.gamed life experienceed the same language50.According to Nacy,the degree of students of the project is judged byA.the careful selection of a proper bookB.the growing popularity of the writersC.the number of people who benefit from reading.D.the number of books that each person reads.参考答案 BCDAC阅读理解With rising gas prices，it’s no wonder the search for gasoline alternatives(替代品) has suddenly taken on a new urgency.One of the laboratories—a high school in Brooklyn—is where students are using cooking oil to run their experimental engine.And as Education reporter Art McFarland discovered，it appears to be working. Students at Automotive High School have taken a gasalternative lesson a step further.They have perfected aproject that runs this car’s engine，with used cooking oil.Lamar Taylor，“I think it’s a great project becauseit’s better for the environment.”Vehicles that run on alternative fuels are part of a cutting edge technology.The Automotive High Project began after a dieselpowered Mercedes was donated to the school two years ago.Thomas Cassino，mechanics teacher，“The original diesel engine...was actually produced to run on vegetable oil and whale oil.”The oil running the engine was collected from the school cafeteria and from restaurants，then placed into a converter，which heats it up while the engine starts using the diesel fuel.With the flip(轻击) of a switch，the engine is cooking with oil，though collecting it can have drawbacks.Melissa Silberman，principal，“Once they started running the car，they didn’t want to eat in the cafeteria any more because what the French fries(炸薯条) were cooked in weren’t so attractive if it can run a car.”And it has its advantages.Curtis Giscombe，student，“It smells like the back of McDonalds...It smells like French fries.”The students are not likely to influence the more widespread use of alternative fuels，but if the day comes when lots more cars are running on cooking oil，the students will be prepared to service them.1．What would be the best title for the text?A．The Future Alternative to GasolineB．Rising Gas Prices Drive Experimental EngineC．Cooking Oil Finds Its New UsesD．Students Use Cooking Oil to Power an Engine2．The importance of using cooking oil to run engines is that it can .A．protect the environment B．save the gasC．offer cars good smell D．bring down the gas price 3．According to the seventh paragraph， .A．the car is full of French friesB．the car makes people eat nothingC．the car makes people not want to eat in the cafeteriaD．the car is a moving cafeteria4．About the future of the car running on cooking oil，we know that .A．the day for cars widely using cooking oil is long to comeB．it will have a great effect on the oil marketC．the students may build a service company soonD．no one wants to use cooking oil for their cars1．Just as they came round the next bend the engine broke down and came to a stop.
