There is a dream-like quality to the essence that is Venice. This magical city with its beautiful buildings，its florid history，its silky liquid streets，brings out the romantics in all who visit.
Of course，Venice is known for its gondolas，the drama of the Bridge of Sighs，and for the music that fills the air. But there s another side to this most historic of cities. Masks and their many designs are virtually everywhere.
In every store window，in each narrow alley，the masks of the Carnival intrigue passersby. There is no doubt that the beauty of Venice will call visitors back time and again，but Carnival is the magical occasion when the “masks come alive，”truly winning one s heart and soul.

Passage 2
Since the first Carnival was held in the 11th century，costumes and masks have been a prominent feature in Venice and were frequently worn year round.
A decree in the 1600s restricted their use to official banquets and the Carnival period. Unfortunately，as the years passed，the festival fell into decline. Happily，it was enthusiastically revived in 1979.
Venice Carnival is now one of Europe s biggest and most popular festivals，an exciting time when parties and balls are plentiful and colourful masks and gorgeous costumes dominate the 10-day period preceding Lent. Venetians and tourists of all ages adorn themselves in works of art as they participate in the merriment.
Today’s masks skillfully reflect the culture and traditions of the early Venetians with contemporary artistry that can range form the intricately beautiful to intriguingly bizarre. One may gaze at revelers lustrous bronze and silver painted masks，or marvel at the jewels and glitter of other wizard-like creations. Ruby red lips and dark hollow eyes offer a delightful contrast for those who prefer the white facade of the mime.

Passage 3
Ideas about education are changing in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them，learning does not end with a diploma.
Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.
Secretaries，mechanics，and barbers can take classes to improve their work skills. Nurses can take classes to increase their knowledge of nursing. If they know more or learn more，then they can get a better job or earn more money.
Continuing education classes give some adults the chance to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from，typing，foreign cooking，photography，auto re pair，furniture repair，or swimming. These are only some of the classes available.
Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. For example，they can choose a class in almost any language，Chinese，Spanish or English as a second language. There are classes in first aid or classes in sewing. There are also many other types of classes to choose from.
Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves. Overweight people can find exercise classes or classes in nutrition. Others can learn how to be good parents，or how to get along with other people.
There are many opportunities for adults to continue their learning. Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools，community buildings，or churches. Most classes are in the evening，so working people can attend. The classes are usually small，and they are inexpensive.
Thousands of people register for continuing education classes each year. They receive no diploma or certificate，and no grade for most of the classes they attend. For them，learning is something they do because they want to.

【】Passage 4
English is now the international language for airline pilots，scientists，medical experts，businessmen and many others. Consequently，more and more people are learning it. The BBC s English teaching radio programmers are broadcast daily to four continents and supplied to radio stations in 120 countries. Films and video are on the air or used in institutions in over 100 countries. All this helps to add more speakers to the estimated 100 million who use English as a second language. The rush to learn English has reached even China. The main reason for the upsurge in interest is the recent increase in China s contacts with the outside world.
Unlike many other widely used languages，English can be correctly used in very simple form with less than one thousand basic words and very few grammatical rules. This was pointed out in the 1920 s by two Cambridge cholars，Ogden and Richards，who devised a system called “Basic English”. Another reason for the popularity of English is that English-speaking countries are spread throughout the world. An estimated 310 million people in Britain. U.S.A.，Canada，Australia，South Africa，etc. use English as their mother tongue. Also in former British colonial areas in Africa and Asia where many local languages are spoken，no common language has been found which would make a suitable substitute for English.
In Delhi，although nationalists would prefer to phase out the use of English，the man from South India finds English more acceptable than Hindi，while the northerner prefers English to any of the southern languages. Turning from India to Africa， a similar problem exists. However reluctant African nations are to use English and，as it were，subject themselves to a kind of “cultural imperialism”，there seems to be no alternative language which will do the job of communication effectively.
The view that spreading the use of English is entirely beneficial has its opponents. Some teachers who have returned from overseas consider it creates a wider gap between those who are educated and those who have little or no education. Nevertheless，in many parts of the world，the technical and scientific knowledge needed to develop a country s resources and improve people s living conditions，is just not available in the mother tongue. A second language opens the door to the worldˉwide sharing of skills and discoveries in science，engineering and medicine.
As for the future，it seems certain that English in one form or another will be spoken by far more people than it is today. It will doubtless continue
to change and develop as a living language always does.
51.Why do many 3rd World people oppose the use of English in their countries?
A. They consider it a form of cultural imperialism.
B. The English language has produced racism.
C. Other languages are easier to learn.
D. They oppose modernization in general.
【】52.The growing interest in English among the Chinese people is due to .
A. China s opening up to the outside world
B. their intelligence and industry
C. the skill of foreign teachers
D. all of the above
【】53.The linguistic conditions of Africa and India as presented in this passage .
A. bear no relation to one another
B. reflect basic cultural differences
C. are basically the same
D. are fundamentally opposite
【】
54.The spreading use of English is .
A. entirely beneficial
B. largely accidental
C. of debatable value to developing nations
D. both a and c
【】55. Possible dangers from the spread of English to developing countries include all of the following except .
A. industrial sabotage
B. deepening class divisions
C. cultural imperialism
D. diverting attention from the plight of the impoverished masses
【】
56.Developing countries value English primarily as .
A. a form of entertainment
B. a means of acquiring scientific knowledge
C. a surveillance device
D. a source of cultural unity
【】

A. positive
B. negative
C. neutral
D. repressed

A “You can use me as a last resort（选择）, and if nobody else volunteers，then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids lacrosse（长曲棍球）club. I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on … At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright. Yes, I’ll do it.” I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal. Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community（社区）as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services

Text 1. Do we need extra vitamins? Many people believe that taking vitamin supplements is the best safeguard（保护、保卫）against the dangers of an incomplete diet, but this should be ①a last resort (最后手段)rather than a way out of a problem. Even if there is a genuine（真实的，真正的；诚恳的）need for extra vitamins, then sooner or later the question arises（出现；发生；站立）"which ones do I need, how much of them, and how often?" There is really no simple answer to this question. The Food Standards Committee guardians②保护者of our laws on food purity, labelling（标记，贴标签；标明）and advertising clams（保持沉默，闭嘴不言）and descriptions) suggest in their recent report to the government that we do not need any extra vitamins. They say that they are "not necessary for a healthy individual个人的；个别的； 独特的 个人，个体eating a normal diet".

6 It’s important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us: 1. Reduce If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely (明智地). A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste. 2.Reuse You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters. 3.Recycle Bottles, cans (罐子) and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat (压平) and melted (融化) and the metal things are made for new coke cans. 4.Recover When you buy a box of apples, there may be few rotten (腐烂的) apples, you have two choices: one is to throw the whole apples away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and use the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food. 5.Repair If one of the begs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.

高中英语阅读理解30篇 1、To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear. Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class：he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality (音色) and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand (预先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage. A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play：they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along. I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written. 1. What is the text about ? A. How to become a good teacher. B. What a good teacher should do outside the classroom. C. What teachers and actors could learn from each other. D. The similarities(相似处) and differences between a teacher’s work and an actor’s. 2. The word “audience” in the fourth paragraph means ____ . A. students B. people who watch a play C. people who not on the stage D. people who listen to something 3. A good teacher ____ . A. knows how to hold the interest of his students B. must have a good voice C. knows how to act on the stage D. stands or sits still while teaching 4. In what way is a teacher’s work different from an actor’s ? A. The teacher must learn everything by heart . B. He knows how to control his voice better than an actor . C. He has to deal with unexpected situations . D. He has to use more facial expressions . 5. The main difference between students in class and a theatre audience is that ____. A. students can move around in the classroom

英语阅读2期末复习资料 Part One Passage l Th is is a short passage about the wildebeest migration. Every year around April , many thousands of wildebeest gather together on the Serengeti Plains in Tanzania in preparation for their long journey northwards. Although it is often referred to as ‘The Migration' , this great movement of animals is an endless year - round trek dictated by the seasons and the search for fresh grass and water. By early July the long straggling columns of wildebeest , along with large numbers of zebra , begin to reach the Mara Reserve. They can enter anywhere and once inside their movements are erratic according to where forage is best. However, the herds do have one or two favorite river crossing places and after the Mara grasses have been gazed to the ground , they use these to move northwards out of the reserve. Weak animals rarely survive the river crossings. Many are crushed to death by the sheer weight of numbers and some are eaten by huge crocodiles. In late September. the herds begin to re- form for the journey back to the Serengeti Plains. They arrive three months later and begin calving. Read Passage 1 and decide whether the following statements are True or False. 1. In April the wildebeest travel from the Mara Reserve to the Serengeti. 2. The reason for ‘ T he Migration' is search for food. 3. In early June , the wildebeest reach the Mara Reserve. 4. The wildebeest' s movements are irregular when they go into the Mara Reserve. 5. At the end of the year , the wildebeest return to the Serengeti Plains and give birth to calves. Passage 2 This is a short passage about the monster and Frankenstein ? Some time later , Frankenstein received a letter from his father telling him that his young brother. William. had been murdered. All the family was shocked when Justine Moritz , the boy' s nanny , was accused of the crime and Frankenstein was horrified when she was executed for the murder because he felt that his monster had done it , not Justine. Throughout the following months , Frankenstein became more and more depressed. Then , one day when he was traveling in the mountains , trying to forget his troubles , Frankenstein suddenly met the monster. He shouted furiously at him , accusing him of the crime, and telling him to stay away from him and his family. But the monster insisted on talking to his creator and told him the sad story of his life since he had run away from the laboratory where Frankenstein had made him. The monster said that he had tried , in vain , to attach himself to humans , but nobody would have anything to do with him , because they found him so ugly and frightening. He told Frankenstein that even when he had saved a child who was drowning in a river , nobody thanked him. In fact , the father shot him in the shoulder because he was afraid of him.
