Questions 10-14 refer to the following invoice and letter.
Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions,as It were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts further questions, and so on.For most of the time this conversation goes on below the level of consciousness. At times, however,we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of thetext continues at the unconscious level.
Different people converse with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page;others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticising, analyzing and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension, which is written in the text. The latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.
There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a process conversation as opposed to a content conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies (策略)we employ in reading. If we are advanced readers our ability to hold a content conversation with a text is usually pretty well deveoped. Not so our ability to hold a process conversation. It is precisely this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.
10.Reading as a kind of conversation between the reader and the text becomes conscious only when .
A. the reader's expectations agree with what is said in the text
B. the reader has trouble understanding what the author says
C. the reader asks questions and gets answers
D. the reader understands a text very well
11.At a lower level of comprehension, readers tend to _________
A. read a text slowly
B. read without thinking hard
C. interpret a text in their own way
D. concentrate on the meaning of words only
12.A "process" conversation has to do with ________
A. the application of reading strategies
B. matching our expectations with the meaning of a text
C. the development of our ability to check the details
D. determining the main idea of a text
13. According to the passage, it is of great importance for readers at a higher level to maintain a balance between ________ .
A. conscious and unconscious levels of comprehension
B. the reader's expectations and the meaning of a text
C. lower and higher levels of comprehension
D. interpreting and criticizing a text
14.If we want to develop our reading ability at an advanced level, we should ________
A. learn to use different approaches in reading different texts
B. make our reading process more conscious
C. pay more attention to the content of a text
D. take a critical attitude towards the author's ideas
Questions15-19 refer to the following invoice and letter.
One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad,and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the horizon---it's already here.
While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too.Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales.
They can keep a wide range of records,including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reord or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly.And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock,of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.
Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.
15.According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to _________ .
A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes
B. obtain more convenient services than other people do
C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper

A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cards
B. crcdit cards are mainly used in the United States today
C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash
D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before
17.According to the passage, computers can provide advantages and efficiency for all these people except _______ .
A. consumers
B. manufactures
C. employees
D. businessmen
18.The phrase ring up sales" (line 2, para. 2) most probably means ________ .

Questions 20-24 refer to the following invoice and letter.
In the warm enclosed waters of farm ponds, conditions are very likely to be lethal for fish when insecticides are applied in the neighhourhood. As many examples show, the poison is carried in by rains and runoff from surrounding lands. Sometimes the ponds receive not only contaminated runoff but also a direct dose as crop-dusting pilots neglect to shut off the duster in passing over a pond. Even without such complications, normal agricultural use subjects fish to far heavier concentrations of chemicals than would be required to kill them. In other words, a marked reduction
in the poundages used would hardly alter the fatal situation, for applications of over 0.1 pound per acre to the pond itself are generally considered hazardous. And the poison, once introduced, is hard to get rid of. One pond that had been treated with DDT to remove unwanted shiners remained so poisonous through repeated draining and flushings that it killed 94 percent of the sunfish with which it was later stocked. Apparently the chemical remained in the mud of the pond bottom.
In some parts of the world the cultivation of fish in ponds provides an indispensable source of food.In such places the use of insecticides without regard for the effects on fish creates immediate problems.
In Rhodesia, for example, the young of an important food fish, the Kafue bream, are killed by exposure to only 0.04 parts per million of DDT in shallow pools. Even smaller die, of many other insectiddes would be lethal. The shallow waters in which these fish live are favorable mosquito-breeding places. The problem of controlling mosquitoes and at the same time conserving a fish important in the Central African diet has obviously not been solved satisfactorily.
20.The word "lethal" in the first sentence nearly means ________ .
A. dead
B. important
C. fatal
D. vital
21.The author's tone in this passage can be best described as _______
A. depressed
B. indifferent
C. questioning
D. objective
22.According to the passage, which of the following should not be responsible for the presence of insecticides
in ponds?
A. the weather
B. human error
C. commoo farming methods
D. conditions of farm ponds
23.The author does all of the following in this passage EXCEPT ________
A.give examples
B. propose a solution
C. state a problem
D. relate causes
24.Which of the following tittles best sums up the whole passage?
A. The Effects of Insecticides on Fish
B. The Water of Farm Ponds
C.The Cultivation of Fish as Food
D. Saving African Food Supplies
Questions 25-29 refer to the following invoice and letter.
Our personal backgrounds have a tremendous influences over our personalities, our attitudes, and our value systems. Certainly no one completely abandons his or her background when entering an interview situation.
Backgrounds, called by sociologists cultural factors, create major expectations in the interviewee (client) and the interviewer attorney before and during their exchange.One background influence is social class. If the interviewer and the interviewee come from different socioeconomic backgrounds ( i. e., life-styles that are different because of differences in wealth), the difference in backgrounds could create a communication barrier in an interview. Young lawyers working in poverty law frequently find their clients "laying trips" on them because of perceived differences in wealth.
The client's negative preconceptions about wealthy people create a problem for the interviewer.Not only might the client have preconceptions based on social class, but the lawyer too should be conscious of any preconceptions he or she might hold
about the client.Another background influence is education and experience. Tensions on the part of the less educated often restrict their flow of communication with more highly educated people. Unfortunately, less educated people frequently believe difference in schooling experiences makes communication with more highly educated individuals impossible. How many of us have experienced this in our daily lives, particularly in the feeling that there is a problem communicating with a relative who has had no college education? Or how often have you felt uncomfortable talking. with a college dean or professor?
Sex and age are potential barrier too. At times, there may be problems in dyadic （两者的）communication just because the dyad is male-male, female-female, female-male, or young-old. If a female client strongly believes that men are always sources of poor treatment, she may view a male attorney as an enemy. And we have long heard about the generation gap. Youth have trouble understanding the elderly, and vice versa.
25.According to the passage, a person's life-style .
A. enables the lawyer to judge his client
B. reflects his social position
C. bars him from communicating with wealthy people
D. influences his attitude towards poor client
26.It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that .
A. different education might make effective communication difficult
B. people with more education are unwilling to communicate with the less educated
C. difference in education makes communication impossible
D. less educated people feel reluctant to talk with highly educated ones
27.The following are background influences with an exception of .
A. sdcial class
B. education
C. sex and age
D. working experience
28.Who might be the reader of the passage?
A. sociologists
B. interviewers
C. lawyers and clients
D. managers
29.The passage is mainly about .
A. factors that influence an interview
B. background influences over communication
C. background influences in an interview situation
D. communication barriers in an interview
答案及详解
1.C。文中说，因为要对供水系统和管道进行定期维护（routine maintenance on the water delivery systemand pumps），所以宾馆内的供水会暂时中断（water supply in the hotel may be stopped temporarily）。因此供水中断的原因是定期维护。D 和文章无关。
2.B。文中说，“如果3 分钟后水还没有变清（If the water continues to be discolored）,请联系维修人员”。因此要求宾馆客人联系维修人员的情形是选项B，当水还没有变清时（If the water continues to be discolored）。
3.C。文中提到，水压变动可能导致水流不畅，但水变色本身对健康无害，具体事项请咨询前台。因此A、B、D 都是涉及的选项，C 则和文章无关。
4.A。对客人的要求如下：We would appreciate it if you could shut off all the faucets
in the tub and sink securely before leaving the room to prevent possible flooding.(为了防止水溢出，请在出门前关掉浴盆和洗涤槽的水龙头。)所以正确答案是选项A。B、C、D 根本没有涉及。
5.C。（第二篇文章）Janet Perez 在第一段中说“but there are some mistakes with my order(我订购的商品有一些问题)”，并在下面接着列举了订购中出现的问题，因此信的目的是选项C：To report mistakes in an order(为了告知订购中出现的错误)。
6.D。（第二篇文章）文中涉及curtains 的句子“I would like to make sure that i am refunded the extra money i paid for the extra curtain(希望能够把额外多收的一幅窗帘的钱退还给我)”，因此写信者的目的是要求这家公司返还误收的一幅窗帘的钱。正确答案是选项D。
7.B。（第二篇文章）文章中关于rug 的句子“I never ordered the rug(我从来没有订购过地毯)”，因此正确答案是选项B。这道题轻而易举吧！
8.A。问题的核心词汇是bed sheets。文章中说，“网站上标的订单价格为＄19.99，可是你们公司却收了我＄29.99（……even though the price of one set of bed sheets is listed as ＄19.99 on your web site, I was charged ＄29.99.）”。因此写信者要求的订单返款额是＄10.00（=＄29.99-＄19.99）。正确答案是选项A。
9.D。（第二篇文章）Janet Perez 先生在信的结尾写道：我会给你们公司总部打电话搞清楚这封信里提到的问题。（I will follow up this letter with a call to your headquarters.）因此他接下来要做的事是选项D“给公司打电话（Call the company）”。
10.B。细节性问题，问阅读作为一种读者与文章之间的对话，在什么时候才处于一种有意识的状态之中，答案见第二段的内容。该段讲，多数时候，这种对话是在有意识的层次以下（也就是说并没有意识到对话的存在），但有的时候我们却意识到了。这种情况通常是在我
们阅读中遇到困难的时候，以及我们的预期与文章意思不符的时候才出现。
11.D。推理性问题，问一个在较低层次上理解的读者，往往会怎样去阅读，答案可从第三段的文字里推出。该段里有这样一句话：Some stay very close to the words on the page; ...... the former represents a kind of comprehension, which is written in the text. 指的就是那种只注意字面意思的低水平的阅读理解方式。
12.A。细节性问题，问“process conversation”（过程对话）是指什么，答案见最后一段开头三句话。这几句话讲，按照我们的观点，有另外一种同样重要的对话，这种对话不是关于我们读什么，而是关于我们怎样读的问题。我们把这种对话称之为“process”对话，而不是“content”对话。过程对话与文章意义无关，而是指阅读中所运用的策略。
13.C。细节性问题，问作为一个高水平的读者，重要的是应当在哪两者之间保持平衡，答案见第三段文字，尤其是该段的后一句话。也就是说，高水平的读者既应当注意字面上的意义，也应当跳出文字的框框，发挥想象，对文章内容加以解释、批评、分析、检验，读出字里行间的意义。
14.A。推理性问题，问应当怎样来培养高水平的阅读能力。B、C、D 项都只提到高水平读者应当做到的某一个方面，而A 项才最具有概括性，故A 是正确答案。
15.B。细节题，答案见本文第一段。本段主要讲的是信用卡给人们的日常生活所带来的种种方便，与B项意思吻合。
16.C。细节题。文章第一段最后一句的大意是，不用现金的社会并非遥不可及，它已经实实在在出现在眼前，因此，C 项与原文意思最近。
17.C。细节题，问电脑为谁提供了好处与效率。本文除了没有提到给雇员带来什么好处和效率外，A、B、D 三项都有提到。
18.B。词汇题。根据上下文，这里是指“把销售额计入收款机”，而不是指电话购物。
19.B。主旨题。本文第一段以信用卡给人们带来的便利之处为引子，谈论的还是电脑给商业带来的种种便利，所以B 项是文章的主题。
20.C。词汇题。从上下文内容可知，鱼塘周边地区使用了杀虫剂，这样一来，鱼的情况很可能就非常的不好了。B、D 两项是同义词，A 项指“死掉”，而且放在句中意思也不通。由此可推断，lethal 在这里就是fatal (致命的) 的意思。
21.D。本题属主旨类题型，要求考生判断作者语气。作者就事论事，客观地报道了杀虫剂对塘养鱼的不利影响，看不出作者作者带有什么强烈的感情色彩。
22.D。细节题，问哪一个不是池塘遭受杀虫剂污染的原因，答案主要见第一段。A、B、C 三项原因文中都有提及，而池塘状况不好正是上述三项原因所造成，不能说成是原因，所以应选D。
23.B。细节题。通读全文，我们可以看到，作者在文中提出了文题，列举了事例，且提到了原因，但并没有提出解决问题的办法，故当选B。
24.A。主旨题。本文主要讲述的是杀虫剂对鱼类的影响。
25.B。细节题，答案见第二段第一、二句。
26.A。推理题。从这一段的内容我们可以推测，由于人们受教育的程度不同，可能会造成交际上的困难。
27.D。细节题，本文各段分别讲述了影响交际的各种背景因素，唯独没有谈到working experience 这一点。第四段第一句出现过experience 一词，但是比较笼统的experience，还不能说是working experience。
28.C。推理题。本文读者最可能的是律师和他们的当事人。interviewers 这里单指律师。
29.C。主旨题。本文主要谈的是有哪些背景情况会对面谈产生影响。本文主要应抓住几个关键词：interview,background, influence。

（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. （3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. （4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】（1）A
最新中考英语阅读理解练习题 一、初三英语阅读理解（含答案详细解析） 1．阅读理解 Radio and television are very popular in the world today. Millions of people watch TV. Perhaps more people listen to the radio. The TV, of course, is more useful than the radio. On TV you can see and hear what is happening in the world. Now the radio is not disappearing. It's still with us. And the number of listeners is becoming larger. One reason for this is the invention of the transistor（晶体管）radio. The transistor radio is sometimes very small. It is very easy to carry. You can put one in your pocket and listen to it on the bus when you go to work. It is better for blind people. Many old people don't have good sight （视力）to watch TV. When people are working，they can't watch TV but they can listen to music or news over the radio. What's more，the radio is much cheaper than the TV. （1）After the television was invented，people ____. A. think it is unnecessary to use the radio B. don't want to use the radio any more C. are still using the radio D. find the radio is disappearing （2）One of the reasons for the larger number of listeners of the radio is that ____.

You do not have to lie to hide the parts of you that are not like what you see in anyone else. You were meant to be different.

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. （1）Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. （2）Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. （3）Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.
