高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析
1篇
Any foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand.And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.
Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese.Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调)．
One of the study's authors, Nina Kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”．This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs, Dr.Kraus said.She said music training might also help children with language problems.
Mandarin speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码)of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do.This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages, pitch plays a central role.A single－syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.
For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non－Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.
As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings: squint, bewilder and rice.The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds.Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.
The lead author of the study, Patrick C．M.Wong, said it might work both ways.It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.
1．Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training?
A．Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music.
B．Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain.
C．Because music training might help people with language study.
D．Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music.
2．The underlined word “intoned” in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by the word
“________”．
A．created B．spelled
C．seemed D．pronounced
3．What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter Than English Speakers
B．Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language Study
C．Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese Learning
D．Schools Need to Develop Music Programs
【答案】
1．B
2．D
3．B

这是一篇说明文。研究人员发现，受过音乐训练的人学习语言更容易。
1．
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中“…researchers from Northwestern University say that both skill s draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch”（西北大学的研究人员说，这两种技能都利用了大脑中帮助人们发现音调变化的相同部分）可知，学习这两种技能利用了大脑的相同部分，因此，汉语学习和音乐训练有关系。故选B项。2．
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages，pitch plays a central role. A single－syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned. ”（这是因为在普通话和其他亚洲语言中，音调起着核心作用。一个单音节词可以有多种含义，这取决于它是怎样发音的。）可知，在普通话和其他亚洲语言中，音调起着关键作用。对一个单音节词而言，当人们以不同的音调说这个词时，这个词就表达出不同的意思。在第六段中以“mi”为例，这个词不同的音调就代表着不同的意思，所以画线单词表达的应是人们对一个单音节词的“发音”。故选D项。
3．
主旨大意题。通读全文特别是第二段的“Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese.(现在研究人员发现，受过音乐训练的人更容易学习汉语。)”可知，研究表明，经过音乐训练的人，更容易学汉语。音乐训练和汉语学习均用到了大脑相同的部位。该部位可以帮助人们更好地发现语调的变化，有助于人们学习语言。所以短文的最佳标题是“熟练的音乐听觉有助于语言学习”。故选B项。

Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes? Let’s have a look.
People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies. We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants. Sometimes, people may get caught with their pants down. They are found doing something they should not be doing. And, in every family, one person takes control. Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do. Then we say she wears the pants in the family.
Pants usually have pockets to hold things. Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket. Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants. If you have less money than usual, you may have to tighten your belt.
I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much. I really take my hat off to them. Yet, when it comes to my own money, I spend it at the drop of a hat, which means I
instantly spend it.
Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes. People who are too big for their boots think they are more important than they really are. I dislike such people.
My father is an important person. He runs a big company. He wears a suit and tie, and a shirt with sleeves that cover his arms. Some people who do not know him well think he is too serious and never shows his feelings openly. But I know that my father wears his heart on his sleeve. 1．What is this passage mainly about?
A．What pants mean in English. B．Some special English expressions. C．Some funny English expressions. D．Some expressions related to clothes. 2．Which of the following expressions can show someone is nervous?
A．Get caught with one’s pants down.B．Have ants in one’s pants.
C．Wear the pants in the family. D．Burn a hole in one’s pocket. 3．Someone who spends his money at the drop of a hat most probably________．A．doesn’t save money B．earns much money
C．never wastes his money D．spends more than he earns

As years went by, I realized that one of the biggest problems of these adults was worry. A large majority of students were businessmen, executives, salesmen, engineers, accountants：a cross section of all the trades and professions—and most of them had problems! There were women in the classes—businesswomen and housewives. They, too, had problems! Clearly, what I needed was a textbook on how to conquer worry—so again I tried to find one.
I went to New York’s great public library at Fifth Avenue and Fortysecond Street and discovered, to my astonishment, that this library had only twenty--two books listed under the title WORRY. I also noticed, to my amusement, that it had one hundred and eighty--nine books listed under WORMS. Almost nine times as many books about worms as about worry! Surprising, isn’t it? Since worry is one of the biggest problems facing mankind, you would think, wouldn’t you, that every high school and college woul d give a course on “How to Stop Worrying”?
Yet, is there even one course on that subject in any college in the land? I have never heard of it. No wonder David Seabury said in his book How to Worry Successfully：“We grow up with as little preparation for the pressures of experience as a bookworm asked to do a ballet (芭蕾舞).”
The result? More than half of our hospital beds are occupied by people with nervous and emotional troubles.
I looked over those twenty--two books on worry, reposing(靠) on the shelves of the New York Public Library. In addition, I purchased all the books on worry I could find；yet I couldn’t discover even one that I could use as a textbook in my course for adults. So I decided to write one by myself.
1．What made the writer realize one of the adults’ biggest problems?
A．His wide reading.
B．His practical survey.
C．His scientific research.
D．His students’ real situation.
2．What do David Seabury’s words in Paragraph 3 show?
A．Worry is extremely common.
B．We lack knowledge of worry.
C．We show no interest in worry.
D．Worry can hardly be controlled.
3．The writer wrote the passage to .
A．show us how to conquer worry
B．warn us of the possible danger of worry
C．persuade us to get rid of worry
D．explain why he wanted to write a book on worry
【答案】
1．D
2．B

这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了作者从他学生的现状中意识到成年人最大的问题之一就是焦虑。作者去纽约最大的公共图书馆寻找他教学用的书，但没有找到。于是，作者决定自己写一本关于焦虑内容的书。
1．
细节理解题。第一段第二句“A large majority of my students were businessmen, executives, salesmen, engineers, accountants: a cross section of all the trades and professions and most of them had problems! There were women in the classes business women and housewives. They too had problems.（我的学生大部分是商人、行政人员、推销员、工程师和会计师:他们来自各行各业，他们中的大多数人都有问题!班里的女性有商界女性和家庭主妇。他们也有问题。）”可，作者是从他学生的现状中意识到成年人最大的问题之一就是焦虑，故选D。2．
推理判断题。根据第三段中“We grow up with as little preparation for the pressures of experience as a bookworm asked to do a ballet (芭蕾舞).（我们在成长过程中对压力几乎没有准备，就像一个书呆子被要求去跳芭蕾舞）”可推断出，David Seabury的话表明，我们缺乏关于焦虑的知识。故选B。
3．
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I looked over those twentytwo books on worry, repo sing(靠) on the shelves of the New York Public Library. In addition, I purchased all the books on worry I could find；yet I couldn’t discover even one that I could use as a textbook in my course for adults. （我把搁在纽约公共图书馆书架上的那22本关于忧虑的书看了一遍。此外，我买了所有我能找到的关于焦虑的书，但我没有发现一个我可以作为我的成人课程的教科书。）”可知，作者在图书馆找不到现成的教材，决定自己写一本，所以作者写这篇文章是为了解释他写一本关于焦虑内容的书的原因。故选D。

The biggest soccer organization in the U.S. introduces new rules to make the sport safer.
The U.S. Soccer Federation announced that players in its teams who are 10 or younger are no longer allowed to head the ball. Players aged from 11 to 13 have limits on how often they can practice heading.
The new rules are set to stop kids from getting hurt because of a blow to the head that shakes the brain. Players may get headaches by heading the ball. Even worse, they may also get concussions, which will cause lasting brain damage.
Heading the ball can be one of the most dangerous parts of soccer. Sometimes the force of hitting the ball with their heads gives players concussions. But more often, players receive concussions when they jump to head the ball and by accident knock heads with other players or fall and hit their heads on the grass.
“More concussions happen during the act of heading than any other action in soccer,” say s Dr. Robert Cantu, an expert on brain damage.
So far, the new rules are only used by teams that are part of the U.S. Soccer Federation. But the group says it hopes more soccer teams will soon follow its example.
Former U.S. soccer star Brandi Chastain is one of the leaders of the activity to ban heading among young soccer players. She welcomes the rule change but wants the rule to include all players under 14.
1．The new rules are made to________．
A．keep young players from being hurt
B．teach young players how to practice heading
C．make the U.S. Soccer Federation more famous
D．encourage young players to improve their skills
2．What is Brandi Chastain’s attitude towards the new rules?
A．She is against them. B．She supports them.
C．She is unsure about them. D．She doesn’t care about them.
3．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．New rules in soccer. B．How to protect young players.
C．Brain damage becomes more common. D．The introduction of the U.S. Soccer Federation.

Language as a System of Symbols(符号)
Of all systems of symbols, language is the most highly developed. It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything. Human beings have agreed, in the course of centuries of mutual dependency, to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs, throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems. We call that system of agreements language.
There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in.
However obvious these facts may appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each other, yet we all have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes acting as if, there were necessary connections. For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature; foreigners have such funny names for things, and why can’t they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said, “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals, ” they feel that the symbol is inheren tly connected in some way with the things symbolized.
1．Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings _______.
A．have made use of language for centuries
B．use our nervous systems to support language
C．have made various noises stand for any events
D．can make anything stand for anything by agreement
2．What can we conclude from Paragraph 2?
A．Different noises may mean different things.
B．Our culture determines what a symbol stands for.
C．The language we use symbolizes our social positions.
D．Our social positions determine the way we are dressed.
3．In Paragraph 3 the underlined phrase “take special pains” probably means “_______”. A．try very hard B．take our time
C．are very unhappy D．feel especially painful
4．In Paragraph 3, the example of the little boy is used to show that _______.
A．adults often learn from their young
B．“pig” is a dirty word because pigs are dirty
C．words are not connected with the things they stand for
D．people sometimes have wrong ideas about how language works

这是一篇说明文。主要说明了语言作为高度发展了的符号体系，它与文化有着密切的联系。在所有的符号系统中，语言是最发达的，但这个符号和它所代表的事物之间没有必然的联系。文章就此展开说明。
1．
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything.(有人指出，人类通过约定俗成可以使任何事物代表任何事物)”由此可知，语言是一种高度发达的符号系统，因为人类可以通过约定俗成使任何事物代表任何事物。故选D。
2．
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in. (就像社会地位可以用头上戴的羽毛、手表链上的金子，或者根据我们所处的文化，用千百种其他东西来象征一样，饥饿的事实也可以根据我们所处的文化，用千百种不同的声音来象征)”可推知，我们的文化决定了一个符号代表什么。故选B。
3．
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“However obvious these facts may appear at f irst glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem”可知无论这些事实第一眼看上去多么明显，它们实际上并不像它们看起来那样明显，除非我们花了特别的努力尝试去思考这个主题。可猜测出画线短语的意思是“努力尝试”。故A项正确。
4．
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature; foreig ners have such funny names for things, and why can’t they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand Engli sh if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said, “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals, ” they feel that the symbol is inherently connected in some way with the things symbolized.(比如说，有人觉得外语的本质是不合理的，外国人给事物起的名字很滑稽，为什么他们不能用正确的名字来称呼事物呢？这种感觉在那些英美游客身上表现得最为强烈，他们似乎相信，只要他们喊得足够大声，就能让任何国家的本地人听懂英语。就像那个小男孩说的那样，"猪之所以叫猪，是因为它们是如此肮脏的动物"，他们觉得这个符号与所象征的事物有某种内在的联系)”可推知，作者列举小男孩的例子是为了说明人们有时对语言是如何发挥作用有错误的认识。故选D。

Betty Azar is a world famous expert on teaching English grammar. Here are some of her opinions. Why do students need to learn grammar?
When teachers are deciding which grammar points to teach,they should first ask two questions. First,will understanding the point help students be understood—will it help them understand better?Next, will learning the grammar point help students be acceptable as English speakers? People usually think that grammar is all about memorizing rules. In fact,grammar is not just learning rules. It is a way to help students along the way to communication.
Teachers should know that students do not all learn in the same way. Each may have a different learning style when it comes to learning grammar. Some may see a pattern and understand the rule. Others need explanations and more practice. “But to t each grammar as a subject matter and test it as though you were testing the memorization of dates in history is sure to bore everybody and not reach the goals that you are trying to reach—successful communication experiences.”Why do some teachers hate teaching grammar?
Many teachers are not comfortable teaching grammar because they do not know how to answer their students' questions. “Most native speakers of English didn't learn it in school," she says. "If you don't know any grammar of your own language and then you are asked to teach it,it's possible that your students may know more grammar than you and you can’t answer their questions."
Can teaching grammar really be fun?
Teachers should learn to make the teaching of grammar fun. She says,"My students enjoy learning grammar as much as I enjoy teaching it. I think grammar is fascinating. It is the glue that
holds language together. It is really beautiful when you get to know it. Grammar is quite a remarkable(不同寻常的) thing."
1．What should teachers do before teaching grammar points?
A．Ask themselves questions.
B．Develop a good teaching style.
C．Find out students’ learning needs.
D．Let students memorize some rules.
2．What does Betty Azar do?
A．A student. B．A reporter. C．A teacher. D．A writer.
3．Betty Azar thinks grammar is_________ .
A．boring B．beautiful C．hard to teach D．easy to learn 4．According to Betty Azar,______ .
A．grammar should be taught as a subject
B．native speakers don’t need to learn grammar
C．different students learn grammar in different ways
D．it’s useful to memorize rules when learning grammar

You may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Even if you know some freshmen (新生) , you still feel nervous that you don't know any upperclassmen or teachers. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces?
Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts, which is helpful not only because you can know your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognise a few familiar faces. When you talk to your new classmates, you'll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They're all new to the school and don't know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with them can help you develop friendships.
The work in high school is something that freshmen are probably worried about. The work in high school builds on what you learnt in middle school, giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it's a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.
High school also has more extracurricular activities than middle school does such as clubs, music and theatre groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.
High school gives you the chance to learn how to manage your time, to develop your social skills and interests, and more importantly to be more independent and responsible.
1．What does the underlined word “orientation” mean in Paragraph 2?
A．Training. B．Game.
C．Discussion. D．Examination.
2．What are freshmen probably worried about?
A．The learning task.
B．The ability to make friends.
C．The relationship with teachers.
D．The freshman orientation.
3．Extracurricular activities mainly help students ________.
A．build up healthy bodies
B．develop friendships
C．develop the interests
D．improve their learning ability
4．Who is this passage written for?
A．Freshmen at high school.
B．Freshmen's parents.
C．Middle school students.
D．Upperclassmen in high school.

词义猜测题。根据文章第二段第一句中的“Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts, before school actually starts, which is helpful not only because you can know your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen”（大多数高中都会在开学之前举行新生orientation，它是有帮助的，可以让你了解教学楼周围的路、认识一些老师和新同学）可知，freshman orientation可以帮助你了解校园，认识老师和同学，由此可它类似于新生培训大会。故orientation指的是培训，与training“培训”的意思一致。故选A项。
2．
细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句“The work in high school is something that freshmen are probably worried about.”（高中学业可能是新生担心的）可知，高中的学业是新生们很可能会担心的一方面。故选A项。

细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“High school also has more extracurricular activities than middle school does such as clubs, music and theatre groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.”（比起初中来，高中有更多的课外互动，例如俱乐部、音乐和戏剧社团以及体育队。这是一个探索你的兴趣和尝试新事物的好时机）可知，高中的课外活动是让你培养自己的兴趣爱好和尝试新事物的好机会。故选C项。

It’s hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool’s Day. On April 1 each year, people play tricks on each other. These tricks are usually silly rather than mean. Classmates sometimes tie each other’s
shoelaces to their chairs. Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that scares students before they realise it’s only a joke. Newspapers announce fake contests (such as “Win an elephan t!”) and report on fake stories (like “UFO” lands in New York City).
Forget gifts, songs and special foods-those are for the other holidays of the year. On April Fool’s Day, the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble).
One A pril Fool’s Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers. They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria. The chickens ran all round the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers were flying everywhere.
Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them. Finally, they caught four of them. But the chickens were wearing numbered tags around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens NO. 1, 2, 3, and 5. Where was chicken No. 4?
The teachers looked and looked. They couldn’t find another chicken. After a few hours, they realised that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place! They’d been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.
It’s been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool’s Day remains one of my favourite memories from those years.
1．What can we infer from the first paragraph on April Fool’s Day?
A．Everyone is hard to avoid being fooled on April Fool’s Day.
B．Students play jokes on teachers on April Fool’s Day.
C．Teachers play tricks on students on April Fool’s Day.
D．Newspapers often cheat people.
2．Why did students set chickens free?
A．They wanted to let chickens free. B．They wanted to let chickens run all round the school.
C．They wanted to see feathers flying. D．They wanted to play a trick on the teachers. 3．How many jokes did the students play on the teachers?
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.

Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them. Their values —this can’t be repeated too often — are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering (干涉) with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of. Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.
Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, it needs more mechanical maintenance (机械维修，保养) as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results will be. And at what point should you stop to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by seeking the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? You can't ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there’s life, there’s hope.
When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun. 1．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．The values are different between the old and the young.
B．The moral problems raised by old people.
C．The personal freedom for the old.
D．Old people’s viewpoint on life.
2．We can know from the first paragraph that ________.
A．very old people would like to live alone to have more personal freedom
B．very old people are able to keep their room clean
C．very old people like to live with their children
D．social services have nothing to do with very old people
3．According to the author, which of the following is right?
A．The older a person, the more care he needs.
B．Too much emphasis has been put on old peop le’s values.
C．The human body can’t be compared to a car.
D．It is easy to provide spare parts for old people.
4．The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “________”．
A．their money or their health
B．the conclusion you come to
C．your talk to the old people
D．whether age is happy or unpleasant
【答案】
1．B
2．A

这是一篇说明文。本文讲述的是很多老人都希望自己不要过多受别人的管束，要给他们一定的自由，以及对一些社会工作者的一些观点。
1．主旨大意题。根据文章第一句Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them.（老年人确实会给几乎所有与他们接触的人带来道德问题）及全文内容主要围绕老年人引起的道德问题。故选B。
2．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中But is it interfering with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.（但是，坚持让他们和亲戚住在一起，以便得到更好的照顾，这是否妨碍了个人自由?一些社会工作者，那些清理蠕虫的人，认为我们正处于把个人自由的概念带到一个严重威胁老年人健康和安全的地步的危险之中。）可知，许多老年人喜欢独自生活以获得更多的个人自由。故选A。
3．推理判断题。根据文章第二段第2句The body is like a car, it needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older.（身体就像一辆汽车，随着年龄的增长，它需要更多的机械保养。）可推知，一个人越老，他需要的关心就越多。故选A。
4．词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.（然而，当你与老年人交谈时，你不得不得出这样的结论:老去是快乐还是不快乐，与其说取决于金钱或健康，不如说是取决于你的娱乐能力。）可知，老去是快乐还是不快乐是取决于你的娱乐能力。故it指代上文whether age is happy or unpleasant。故选D。

Beijing, with co－host Zhangjiakou in neighboring Hebei Province, will host the 2022 Winter Olympics. That will benefit the capital as well as its residents (居民), so the below are something to be expected from the Winter Olympic Games.
Blue skies
It is highly expected that hosting the Winter Olympic Games will push Beijing to reduce pollution and improve the air quality more effectively.
Beijing began carrying out a five－year plan from 2013 that cost 130 billion US dollars to upgrade heating systems, cut car emissions (排放) and close heavy－polluting factories. Such efforts will not only be made in Beijing but in a neighboring Hebei and Tianjin as well, as suggested by a development action plan to integrate (结合) the three places. Hopefully, blue skies will become a regular feature even after the Games.
Transportation
Although Beijing is the host city of the 2022 Winter Games, Chongli county of Zhangjiakou will host some of the snow events.
The capital region is likely to benefit from investments in infrastructure (基础设施), including the Beijing－Zhangjiakou intercity railways, expansion of Beijing subway systems, upgraded highway networks and another regional airport.
Winter sports
Beijing's vision is to develop a winter sports market for more than 300 million people in northern China.
With a rich legacy left by the summer Olympics, China plans to reuse 11 of 12 venues built for the 2008 Olympics and only needs to build a new rink for speed skating, effectively easing possible problems of facilities (设施) being left idle after the Games.
Transformation (转变)
On the back of the Winter Olympics, the Beijing municipal government is looking at fostering sports－related industry as a new growth driver to power its economy.
The goal is to integrate the Winter Games with sustainable development plans for the wider region, focusing on clean energy, green technology, and improvement in ecology and air quality.
Tourism
The country's plan to develop a winter sports industry will enhance Zhangjiakou's reputation as a tourist destination by upgrading its transportation system and facilities, such as hotels and restaurants.
高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析 1篇 Any foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand.And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges. Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese.Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调)． One of the study's authors, Nina Kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”．This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs, Dr.Kraus said.She said music training might also help children with language problems. Mandarin speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码)of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do.This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages, pitch plays a central role.A single－syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned. For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non－Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years. As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings: squint, bewilder and rice.The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds.Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds. The lead author of the study, Patrick C．M.Wong, said it might work both ways.It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments. 1．Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training? A．Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music. B．Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain. C．Because music training might help people with language study. D．Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music. 2．The underlined word “intoned” in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by the word “________”． A．created B．spelled C．seemed D．pronounced 3．What would be the best title for this passage? A．Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter Than English Speakers B．Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language Study C．Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese Learning D．Schools Need to Develop Music Programs

On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, "If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages." The sailors had heard about the captain's cheating, so they didn't trust him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though it was very cold, he stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away. "You are cheating," the captain said to the sailor. "The fire's warming you." "But it's half a mile away!" said the sailor. "A fire's fire," answered the captain. "I have won." The sailor came out of the water, and said, "Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can't cook a chicken."

高一英语阅读理解训练50 A Editors note: Whether people are overworked recently made headlines when several internet company bosses said the only way for employees to achieve success is through harder work and longer hours. Forum readers share their opinions. Cecilia Working too many hours only means you are time-wasting and inefficient(低效的).This means it takes you longer to produce something than someone else. A good manager knows how to encourage his employees to work lo their full ability instead of expecting them to work late even if they don't have something to do. People who stay in their office until late hate their jobs and it affects their performance, as well as other ways of their life. Rosemary Overworking is just modem slavery. In many countries, overworking would be attacked because it shows poor work performance, and the boss would prefer you work in a better way 7 hours and then go back home than 8 hours with poor performance. Nevvy Nowadays, it’s hard for a young person to bui ld a good future, for pressures are on his or her shoulders: housing, children, parents, themselves, etc. But everyone must keep working hard to have them on the way to the good future, which is not certain. What’s sure is that if you're lazy and don’t work hard, no good future will come. Sunny I don't think anyone wants to work overtime. The fact is the competition is so extreme if you don’t work hard someone will easily and willingly replace you, especially in the IT industry. Employees are told they need to work longer hours or they won't get raised. It is time to give up the culture of overworking. 1.What will happen if Cecilia is forced to overwork? A. She will perform to her full ability. B. She will feel unhappy to do it. C. She will ask the employer to do it.
