Cars are an important part of life in the . Without a car most p eople feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in larg e numbers. He probably didn’t know how much the car was g oing to change American culture. The car made the a nation on wheels. And it helped make the what it is today.There are three main reasons why the car became so popular in the United States First of all the country is a big one and A mericans like to move around it. The car makes the travel the most comfortable and cheapest. With a car people can go to any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the never really developed a practical and cheap public travel system. Long distance trains have never been as common in the as t hey are in other parts of the world. Now there is a good syste m of air- service provided by planes. But it is too expensive tobe used often.The third reason is the most important one, though. The Amer ican spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like waiting for a bus, or a train or even a pla ne. They don’t like to have to follow an exact timetable. A car gives them the freedom to plan their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.Less oil has caused a big problem for Americans.But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transport ation. The real answer will have to be a new kind of car, one t hat does not use so much oil.1.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A In the even the poor own cars.B In the all the poor have no cars.C When an American has a car, he will never be poor.D An American will feel poor unless he has a car.2.We can learn from this passage that Americans ______.A spend a lot of money traveling by carB travel a lot in thei r carsC seldom travel by planeD use public traffic often3.Which of the following is not told in the passage?A Buses, trains and planes are not comfortableB Traveling by car is not expensive.C Americans have the spirit of independenceD Americans often move from place to place4.In the writer’s opinion, cars are popular in the mainly becau se ___.A Americans like to plan their own timeB The does not have enough public transportationC Americans will not feel poor when they travel in their carsD Americans cannot move around without their own cars5. “A nation on wheels” in the second paragraph means that _ ______.A everyone in the owns a carB the produces most of the cars in the worldC cars play an important part in American’ lifeD the depend on car industry for its development【参考答案】1—4、DBAAC阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Tuition fees for British students could reach as much as #20,000, a university vicc-president has warned.Prof. Nick Pctfon warned that universities will face additional economic pressures as student numbers increase, which could force them to increase home students' fees.Student tuition is presently upped at #9,000 for British students.Speaking to the lines fligher Education, Prof. Petford, the vice-president of Northampton University,said that some universities with high brand value will be able to charge ￡17,000, ￡18,000 or ￡20,000 in the future. "'I am sure of that.The president of the National Union of Students Toni Pearce said: "The suggestion that tuition fees should be charged at this level shows just how astonishingly out of touch some university vice-presidents can be."Prof. Petford argued there will be a change in how universities view home students - suggesting they will be treated more like international students. "If you look at international students, that's been a market not well-governed since we've been recruiting (tix) overseas students. Universities have always been used to this sort of behaviour." He said. "The big step change now is thinking about home students in this way."Presently there is no cap on fees that universities can charge international students.The president of Universities UK, Christopher Snowden, said that his report showed universities needed more money to maintain their current standards. "The rise in tuition fees in England did not give all universities extra money - it replaced the cuts in direct government funding (资金)， " he said.47. Which of the following is closest in meaning to "capped" in Paragraph 3?A. Required.B. Raised.C. Allowed.D. Limited.48. What is Prof. Petford's belief according to the text?A. Tuition fees for British students should reach #20,000.B. Good universities can charge students more tuition fees.C. Northampton University will charge E17,000 to #20,000.D. The market of ovcrsea students should be well governed.49. What is the key of Prof. Nick Peeford's suggestions?A. The tuition fees should he charged at the present level.R. The tuition fees for international students should be raised.C. The thinking about home studcn(s' fees should be changed.I). Thc charge for both international and home students should be equal.50. Winat can be inferred from Christopher Snowdon's words?A. Tuition fees in England had been raised before.B. The tuition fees replaced the government funding.C. English government will cut funding to universities.D. The current standards of universities should be raised.【参考答案】47—50、DBCA阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

Many schools were closed.Companies allowed workers to stay home. Long queues formed at airports.As Japanese authorities struggled to avoid disaster at an earthquake­battered nuclear plant 240 km to the north, parts of Tokyo resembled a ghost town. Many people stocked up on food and stayed indoors or simply left, transforming one of the world's biggest and most populated cities into a shell of its usual self.“Look, it's like Sunday —no cars in town，〞said Kazushi Arisawa, a 62­year­old taxi driver, as he waited for more than an hour outside an office tower where he usually finds cust omers within minutes. “I can't make money today. 〞Radiation in Tokyo has been negligible,_ briefly touching three times the normal rate on Tuesday, smaller than a dental X­ray. On Wednesday, winds over the Fukushima (福岛) nuclear­power plant blew out to sea, keeping levels close to normal. But that does little to relieve public anxiety about a 40­year­old nuclear plant with three reactors in partial meltdown (熔毁)and a fourth with spent atomic fuel exposed to the atmosphere after last Friday's earthquake and tsunami.“Radiation moves faster than we do，〞said Steven Swanson, a 43­year­old American who moved to Tokyo in December with his Japanese wife to help with her family business.He is staying indoor but is tempted to leave.“It's scary.It'sa triple threat with the earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear radiation leaks.Itmakes you wonder what's next. 〞【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了日本的核辐射泄露对人们造成的影响。

A MENTORING(导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth. Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.Alex Goldberg，the program's founder，said：“We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.〞“We try to create work experience opport unities that will really make a difference to our youth.For example，we've secured internships(实习) with world­famous firms such as Honda.〞“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring，it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.〞 Kieran Hepburn,14，is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far.In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational，Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum(论坛)．The event was held for young people from around the world，to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look.Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event.Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience.“Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop，it was amazing，〞he said，“We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.〞The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life.It dealt with issues(问题) such as drug abuse，violence and unemployment. Kieran said：“It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.〞The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.For details visit younginspirations .1．The Young Inspirations mentoring program aims to ______.A．train staff for world­famous firmsB．offer job opportunities to young adultsC．provide youth with unique experiencesD．equip the unemployed with different skills解析细节理解题。

Which is safer --- staying at home, traveling to work on public transport, or wor king at the office? Surprisingly, each of these carries the sam e risk, which is very low. However, what about flying compare d to working in the chemical industry? Unfortunately, the form er is 65 times riskier than the latter! In fact the accident rate of workers in the chemical industry is less than that of almost an y of human activity, and almost as safe as staying at home. The trouble with the chemical industry is that when things go wrong they often cause death to those living nearby. It is this t hat chemical accidents so newsworthy. Fortunately, they are extremely rare. The most famous ones happened at Texas Cit y (1947), Flixborough (1974), Seveso (1976), Pemex (1984) a nd (1984).Some of these are always in the minds of the people even tho ugh the loss of life was small. No one died at Seveso, and onl y 28 workers at Flixborough. The worst accident of all was , w here up to 3,000 were killed. The explosion of fertilizer killed552. The Pemex fire at a storage plant for natural gas in the s uburbs of Mexico City took 542 lives, just a month before the unfortunate event at .Some experts have discussed these accidents and used each accident to illustrate a particular danger. Thus the was cause d by tons of ammonium nitrate, which is safe unless stored in a great quantity. The Flixborough fireball was the fault of man agement, which took risks to keep production going during es sential repairs. The Seveso accident shows what happens if t he local authorities lack knowledge of the danger on their doo rstep. When the poisonous gas drifted over the town, local lea ders were incapable of taking effective action. The Pemex fire was made worse by an overloaded site in an overcrowded su burb. The fire set off a chain reaction of exploding storage tan ks. Yet, by a miracle, the two largest tanks did not explode. H ad these caught fire, then 3,000 strong rescue team and fire fi ghters would all have died.1. According to the passage, the chemical accident that caused by the fault of management happened at _________.A. B. Flixborough C. Seveso D. Mexico City2. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Working at the office is safer than staying at home.B. Travelling to work on public transport is safer than working at the office.C. Staying at home is safer than working in the chemical indu stry.D. Working in the chemical industry is safer than traveling by air.3. From the passage we know that ammonium nitrate is a kind of _____.A. natural gas, which can easily catch fireB. fertilizer, which can't be stored in a great quantityC. poisonous substance, which can't be used in overcrowded areasD. fuel, which is stored in large tanks4. From the discussion among some experts we may conclude that _____.A. to avoid any accident we should not repair the facilities in c hemical industryB. the local authorities should not be concerned with the prod uction of thechemical industryC. all these accidents could have been avoided or controlled if effective measureshad been takenD. natural gas stored in very large tanks is always safe【参考答案】1—4、BDBC阅读下列短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Some people will do just about anything to save money.And I am one of them.Take my family's last vacation.It was my six－year－old son's winter break from school，and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip.The flight was overbooked，and Delta，the airline，offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day.I had meetings in New York，so I had to get back.But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay.I took my nine－month－old and took off for home.The next day，my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight.Yes，I encouraged—okay，ordered—them to wait it out at the airport to “earn” more Delta Dollars.Our total take：$1,600.Not bad，huh?Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either.But as a big－time bargain hunter，I know the value of a dollar.And these days，a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing(揭露) the worst tricks.I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade.I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade：A Consumer Survival Guide.And I really do what I believe in.I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money's worth.I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes，clothes for my children，and expensive restaurants.But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut.It keeps its shape longer，and it's the first thing people notice.And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture.Quality lasts.1．Why did Delta give the author's family credits?A．They took a later flight.B．They had early bookings.C．Their flight had been delayed.D．Their flight had been cancelled.解析细节理解题。

重庆市万州市2016高考英语一轮阅读理解选练〔1〕阅读如下四篇短文，从每一小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最优选项。

Leadership is the most significant word in today’s competitive business environment because it directs the manager of a business to focus inward on their personal abilities and style. Experts on leadership will quickly point out that “how things get done〞 influences the success of the outcomes and indicates a right way and a wrong way to do things. When a noted leader on the art of management, Peter Drucker, coined the phrase“Management is doi ng things right; leadership is doing the right things〞, he was seeking to clarify the distinctions he associates with the terms. When Stephen Covey, founder and director of the Leadership Institute, explored leadership styles in the past decade, he focused on the habits of a great number of highly effective individuals. His Seven Habits of Highly Effective People became a popular bestseller very quickly. His ideas forced a reexamination of the early leadership example, which centered on the feature that was found in the character ethic(道德准如此) and the personality ethic. The former ethic suggested success was founded on modesty, loyalty, courage, patience and so on. The personality ethic suggested it was one’s attitude, not behavior, that inspired success, an d this ethic was founded on a belief of positive mental attitude. In contrast to each of these ideas, Covey advocates that leaders need to understand universal principles of effectiveness, and he highlights how vital it is for leaders to first personally manage themselves if they are to enjoy any hope of outstanding success in their work environments. To achieve a desired vision for your business, it is essential that you have a personal vision of where you are headed and what you value. Business leadership means that managers need to “put first things first,〞 which implies that before leading others, you need to be clear on your own values, abilities, andstrengths and be seen as trustworthy.1. What does Peter Drucker’s phrase infer?A. Leaders should be good at making right decisions.B. Leaders should be good at doing things right.C. Leaders should be good at ignoring the distinctions he associates with the terms.D. Leaders should be skilled in predicting future.2. Under what condition are people likely to succeed, in terms of what the personality ethic suggests ?A. When people have little determination , they will be successful.B. When people have good behaviour, they will gain success.C. If people have positive mental attitude , they are likely to succeed.D. If people have negative mental attitude , they are certain to succeed.3. How can leaders enjoy outstanding success in their work environments, according to Stephen Covey?A. Firstly they have to think highly of themselves.B. They are supposed to benefit themselves.C. They can not adjust themselves.D. First personally they must manage themselves .4. What is the meaning of the underlined word “vision〞?A. Bright future.B. Good beginning.C. Good scenery.D. Pretty background.5. To be good leaders , what must managers pay close attention to ?A. They must pay close attention to universal principles of effectiveness.B. They must pay close attention to their own values, abilities and strengths.C. They must pay close attention to modesty.D. They must be concerned about courage and patience.【参考答案】1—5、ACDAB【2014中原名校联盟一模】Mid-IB at a glanceThe summer vacation is the time to consolidate〔巩固〕your learning and prepare for the year ahead.

Cards on their tables explain that this small amount helps bringclean water to children around the world. It’s called the UNICEF Tap Project.“UNICEF’s Tap Project is really all about bringing attention to the fact that over 900 millionpeople around the globe do not have access to good, clean, healthy drinking water,〞 says Cary Stem,who heads the US Fund for UNICEF. She adds that water-borne illness is the second-highest causeof preventable childhood death in the world.“Each and every day approximately 4,100 children die just because they don’t have that access- 4,100 every single day.〞The public service campaign encourages people to help change that statistic witha simple,affordable action: paying a dollar to get a glass of tap water at a restaurant.“One dollar buys enough good, clean water for a c hild for 40 days,〞 Stem says.“The tap project has expanded since it began five years ago with 300 restaurants in NewYork City. This year, Stem says, about 3,000 restaurants across the country are participating in thecampaign. We raised about $2.5 million over the last five years of this campaign,〞says Stem. “Lastyear, we raised over $1 million for the first time. This year we’re hoping to top that.〞Stem credits the continued success of the campaign to an army of volunteers who supportthe tap project and raise money in their communities.The UNICEF Tap Project is promoting its efforts with a simple motto: when you take water,give water. Currently, UNICEF works in more than 100 countries around the world to improveaccess to safe water and sanitation facilities in schools and communities.Stem hopes that, by participating in the project, more Americans will realize that what theyoften take for granted is a precious and scarce resource in many other parts of the world.72. Restaurants began to charge for tap water to _______.A. increase their profitB. urge customers to save waterC. raise people’s awareness of the world water problemD. collect money for those without access to safe water73. We can learn from the text that the Tap Project ________.A. began in New York CityB. was started by volunteersC. is hoping to collect $2.5 million this yearD. provides help for 1,000 countries in the world74. It can be learned that _______.A. the Tap Project began in 2006B.

I had loved that woman --- still loved her --- too much for her suddenly to mean nothing to me . Whatever feelings I might have for her now , I had to see her again . At once .…I knew Marguerite . Meeting me so unexpectedly must have thrown her into a state of great confusion . Probably , she had heard of my departure which had set her mind at rest as to the consequences of our sudden parting . But , seeing me back and coming face to face with me , pale as I was , she had sensed that my return had a purpose , and must have wondered what was going to happen .If , when I saw her again , Marguerite had been unhappy ; if , in taking my revenge 〔复仇〕, there had also been some way of helping her , then I might well have forgiven her , and would certainly never have dreamed of doing her any harm . But when I saw her again , she was happy , at least on the surface . Another man had ensured her the luxury 〔奢侈〕in which I had been unable to keep her . She brought shame both to my pride and my love ; she was going to have to pay for what I had suffered .I could not remain indifferent 〔冷漠〕to what she did now . It followed that the thing that would hurt her most would be exactly for me to show indifference . Indifference ,therefore , was the feeling which I now needed to pretend , not only in her presence but in the eyes of others .I tried to put a smile on my face , and I went to call on Prudence with whom Marguerite was staying .…Prudence saw me to the door , and I returned to my apartment with tears of anger in my eyes and thirst for revenge in my heart and thought only of finding a way to make the poor creature suffer .64. This passage is most probably _______________ of a love story .A. the beginningB. the introductionC. a summaryD. a chapter65.

But I will say something about Barbie: I played with that stuff for a solid decade when I was growing up and here I am now at a healthy weight with a healthy outlook on my body and image. I have a successful career. If Barbie was really so damaging to my femininity (女性气质) and self-image I highly doubt I could list all of the accomplishments.But I get it too. It’s hard for women to maintain a healthy self-image. I have girlfriends around whom I have to brace myself to see, because just being around them makes me self-conscious. I look at old pictures of my mother and wonder why I’ve never been able to be as skinny as she was. And then I have friends who are thinner than their mothers ever were. We women go round and round in circles, holding hands and trying to be one another sometimes.Men like to think we dress and style ourselves for them, but why would we when they hardly notice? I’ve never tried so hard to look goo d when I know I’m about to meet up with a stylish girlfriend. It’s she who will notice my slimmed-down waist or the thinnest, little bracelet on my arm.And I have no doubt that the two of you, Veronica and Juliette, will endlessly compare yourselves to each other. You will wonder why one of you got longer legs or shinier hair. The thing I’ll tell you is this: not even the prettiest of us feel settled. The girl you think looks the most perfect in the world is probably the girl who wants to change herself more than anyone else.Don’t take these on. You are not worthless. You are so full of love and light and you should let it shine through your every second. If someone pushes you down forstanding tall then just push yourself back up and stand even taller. And know that the reason they push you down in the first place is just because they’re scared.68. From the second paragraph, we can infer that the author _____.A. regrets buying so much Barbie stuff for her daughtersB. thinks loving Barbie makes her not confident about her self-imageC. owes her beauty and success to playing with BarbieD. thinks playing with Barbie caused no damage to her beauty and success69. In the third paragraph, the author intends to show that _____.A. women tend to be proud of their beautiful friendsB. she cares much about her appearanceC. she feels proud of her mother’s beautyD. women tend to admire others and compare with each other70. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The author is disappointed that few men take notice of her slim figure.B. The author cares more about looking good before her girlfriends.C. Girls should constantly compare themselves with others to improve their beauty.D. Only the prettiest girl can feel confident about her beauty.71. The author advises her daughters that _____.A. they should be cautious not to be pushed down by othersB. they should care much about their strong points instead of appearancesC. they should try to grow taller than othersD. they s hould care more about others’ opinions【参考答案】68—71\DDBB。

I put a small set of Tinkertoys infront of each student,and said: ”Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have45 minutes today -and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked theinstructions and made something accordingto one of the model plans group built something out of their ownimaginations.Once I had a boy who workedexperimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled ashelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I wasdelighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creativemind at work. His presence meant thatI had an unexpected teaching assistant inclass whose creativity wouldinfect( 感染 ) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinkinghas a downside. I ran the riskof losing those students who had a differentstyle of thinking. Withoutfail one would declare,”But I’m just not creative.”“ Do you dream at night when you’ reasleep”“ Oh, sure. ”“ So tell me one of your mostinteresting dreams.” The student wouldtell something wildly in the sky or in a time machine or growing threeheads.“That’s prettycreative. Who does that for you”“ Nobody. I do it.”“ Really-at night, when you’reasleep”“ Sure.”“ Try doing it in the daytime, inclass, okay”5.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________A. know more about the studentsthe lessons more exciting6.What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph3 A.

To help themto see their creativity.B. To find outabout their sleeping habits.C.To help them to improve their memory. D.To find out about their ways of thinking.答案： ADBACReading can be a social activity. Think of thepeople who belong to bookgroups. They choose books to read and then meet todiscuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group. Members gothe on the site and register the books theyown and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number tostick insidebook. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping thatthe bookwill have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each newreaderwho finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managingdirector of BookCrossing, says,“ The two things that change your life are thepeople you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on parkbenches and buses, in train stationsand coffee shops. Whoever finds their bookwillgo to the site and recordwhere they found it.People who find a book can alsoleave a journal entry describingwhat they thought of it. E-mails are then sentto the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have beenfound. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keepinga book to gather duston a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trendamong people who want to get backto the“real” and not the virtual(虚假).The site now has more than onemillion members in more than one hundredthirty-five countries.9.Why does the author mention book groups in the firstparagraph A.

In fact,theywere shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck( 海滩 ), by a cameramanwho had noreasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an icechest, under freezing water, in the damagedwooden ship.Theship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-builtthree-master that wasintended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a smallcrew of seamen andscientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shoreof Antarctica ’s WeddellSea. From that point Shackleton wanted to forcea passage by dog sled(雪橇 ) across the continent.Thejourney was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott haddone. CaptainScott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died withhis four companions on the march back.Aswriter Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful andwell-researched storyThe Endurance, adventuring was even then athoroughly commercial’s last journey, completed as be lay in a tent dyingof cold and hunger,caught the world’s imagination, and a film made inhis honor drew , a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got towithin 100miles of the South Pole in1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage tomake money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley, a confident andgifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make theimages, most of which have never before been published.13.What do we know about the photos takenbyHurley were made last weekshowed undersea scenerieswere found by a cameramanrecorded a disastrous adventure14.Who reached the South Pole firstaccording to thetext HurleyB.

重庆市渝中区2016高考英语阅读理解一轮选练（3）【2015高考复习】阅读理解Nowadays women appear to have a positive image of themselves as safer drivers than men.In a survey done for insurer MetLife,51% of women said they drive more safely.The evidence is on their side：Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for careless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drunk driving.“Women are on average less aggressive and more law abiding (守法的) drivers，which leads to fewer accidents，” the report says.However，not all male drivers share the same opinion.Of the men surveyed by MetLife,39% claimed male drivers were safer.The findings did back them up on one point：automotive knowledge.The report showed that more men are familiar with current safety equipment such as electronic stability control，which helps prevent rollover accidents.Auto safety unavoidably matters to Money.Insurance companies focus on what classes of drivers have the lowest dollar amounts of claims，and for now，that mainly includes women.In general，women pay about 9% less for auto insurance than men.A study by the website Insweb also showed that auto insurance rates are lower for women in most states.Among individual states，women get the greatest，advantage in Wyoming (where they pay 20% less)，South Dakota and Washington，D.C.，where their insurance costs are 16% lower.“More than 11,900 male drivers died in US traffic accidents in 2009，compared with just under 4,900 women drivers” according to the study.“Based on miles traveled，men died at a rate of 2.5 deaths per 100 million miles traveled，vs.1.7 deaths for women.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。
