9美国城市与世界上其他城市相似:在每个国家，城市都反映了文化的价值。美国城市在变化，正如美国社会在变化一样。
二战后，美国大多数大城市的人口都减少了；他说，中国政府将继续
贯彻“一国两制”的方针。城市居民199他们在城市的公寓购买他们的房子。20世纪50年代离开城市的人的孩子现在是成年人了。许多人不像他们的父母，想住在城市里。他们继续向太阳带城市以及东北和中西部的老城市迁移。许多年轻的专业人士正搬回城市。他们更喜欢城市而不是郊区，因为他们的工作在那里；或者他们只是享受城市提供的刺激和可能性。
这种人口转移既带来了好处，也带来了问题。无数的穷人必须离开他们在城市里的公寓，因为房主想要出售这些建筑或者建造公寓出售而不是出租。20世纪50年代，许多穷人没有足够的钱搬到郊区；现在这些人中的许多人没有足够的钱留在城市里。
仅仅几年前，人们认为美国的老城市正在消亡。一些城市居民现在看到了光明的新未来。其他人只看到问题和冲突。有一点是肯定的:许多垂死的城市又复活了。
64。作者对世界各地的城市有什么看法？
A。他们还活着。他们没有希望了。他们很相似。他们是不同的。65。二战后，美国城市居民为什么想住在郊区？
A。因为美国的老城市正在消亡。
B。因为他们更富有，需要更多的空间。因为城市包含了社会最糟糕的部分。因为他们几乎负担不起住在这个城市的费用。
66。根据第四段，美国城市中有很多穷人。
A。面临住房问题，被迫搬到郊区，想卖掉他们的房子。需要更多的钱来支付日常开支。我们可以从文中得出结论。答:美国的城市正
变得越来越糟。人们对美国的城市有不同的看法。许多人现在正从美国的城市移居到其他地方。美国的老城市人口正在减少。那是印度的一个村庄。人们很穷。然而，他们并没有不开心。毕竟，他们的祖先已经以同样的方式生活了几个世纪。
然后有一天。一些来自城市的游客到达了。他们告诉村民，其他地方有些人喜欢吃青蛙腿。然而，他们自己没有足够的青蛙，所以他们想从其他地方购买青蛙。
这似乎是白给的钱。周围的田野里有数百万只青蛙，它们对村民来说毫无用处。他们所要做的就是抓住他们。达成了协议，孩子们被送到地里去抓青蛙。每周都有一辆卡车来收取捕获物并交出钱。人们第一次能够梦想更美好的未来。但是这个梦没有持续多久。起初这种变化很少被注意到，但看起来庄稼长得不太好。更令人担忧的是，孩子们生病的频率更高了，而且最近似乎有更多的昆虫在附近。
村民们决定，他们不能眼睁睁地看着庄稼歉收，孩子们变得虚弱。他们必须用赚来的钱购买杀虫剂和药品。1999年，人们意识到发生了什么。是青蛙。它们不是无用的。他们一直在做一项重要的工作——吃昆虫。现在，随着这么多青蛙被杀死，昆虫增长得更快了。他们正在破坏庄稼，传播疾病。现在，人们仍然很穷。但是在晚上，他们坐在村庄的广场上，听昆虫和青蛙的声音。这些夜晚的声音现在有了更深的含义。
56。从第一段我们了解到村民_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _。
A。努力工作了几个世纪，梦想过上更好的生活。他们很穷，但有
点满足。他们过着与他们的祖先不同的生活。为什么村民们同意卖青蛙？
A。青蛙很容易赚钱。他们需要钱来买药。他们想取悦游客。青蛙制造了太多的噪音。孩子们生病的原因可能是什么？
A。庄稼收成不好。昆虫太多。访问带来了疾病。杀虫剂使用过度。我们能从课文的最后一句推断出什么？
A。幸福来自乡村的平静生活。健康比金钱更重要。人类与自然的和谐是很重要的。一项新的研究表明，看太多的电视会损害孩子的学习能力，甚至会降低他们获得大学学位的机会。这项最新研究旨在调查电视对孩子的影响。
9其中一项研究调查了近400名北加州三年级学生。在数学和语言艺术测试中，卧室里有电视的孩子比没有卧室电视的孩子得分低8分。第二项研究对新西兰近1000名成年人进行了调查，发现26岁的年轻人受教育水平较低，他们在童年时经常看电视。但是结果并不能证明电视是原因，不要骑自行车。我可能会看很多电视。
他们的研究测量了5至15岁的26岁青少年的电视习惯。那些有大学学历的人在童年时期平均每周看不到两个小时的电视，相比之下，那些没有受过高中以上教育的人平均看不到两个半小时的电视。
在加利福尼亚的研究中，房间里有电视但家里没有电脑的孩子得分最低，而那些没有卧室电视但家里有电脑的孩子得分最高。
虽然这项研究没有证明卧室电视导致得分较低，但它增加了越来越多的发现，即孩子们不应该在卧室里有电视。根据加州的研究，得分
低的群体可能_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _。我看了很多电视，对数学不感兴趣，不能上大学，卧室里有电脑。研究者对新西兰研究结果的理解是什么？缺乏动力的26岁年轻人会看更多的电视。看电视的习惯会降低学习兴趣。看电视导致15岁儿童受教育水平较低。电视和教育水平之间的联系很难解释。从最后两段我们能学到什么？答:应该花更多的时间在电脑上。应该禁止儿童看电视。
199的儿童卧室不允许有静脉注射装置。对高材生的进一步研究应该做67。这篇文章的最佳标题是什么？电视对儿童的影响电视和大学教育研究。电视和儿童学习习惯为什么女孩喜欢粉色或紫色，男孩喜欢蓝色或棕色？答案很大程度上取决于文化价值观和个人经历。对埃及人来说，绿色是代表春天的希望和快乐的颜色，而对穆斯林来说，它意味着天堂。在许多文化中，红色是好运的象征。在中国，孩子们会收到装在红包里的钱，用来在新年带来好运。对许多国家来说，蓝色是保护和宗教信仰的象征。人们对颜色的选择也受他们身体对颜色的反应的影响。据说绿色是最宁静的颜色。它有能力减轻疼痛，让人们身心放松。人们发现在绿色环境中工作的人胃痛更少。
。餐馆。同样，许多商业网站将会有一个红色的“立即购买”按钮，因为红色是一种容易吸引人眼球的颜色。
蓝色是另一种平静的颜色。与红色不同，蓝色会让人失去食欲。因此，如果你想少吃点，有人建议用蓝色盘子吃饭会有帮助。
下次你决定穿什么或者用什么颜色来装饰你的房间时，要仔细考虑颜色。
60。穆斯林认为绿色是天堂的象征，主要是因为他们。a .文化价值b .商业目的2 56+ C。个人经历对颜色的物理反应
61。为什么许多商业网站会有一个红色的“立即购买”按钮？答:放松人们的身体。
B。增加人们的食欲。
C。鼓励人们购买。使人的血压升高。
62。根据课文，什么颜色可能有助于减肥？
A。红色是绿色。蓝色。紫色。
63。以下哪一个是最合适的标题？颜色与人类
B。颜色的文化意义——颜色和个人经历——颜色的意义和功能乔治·普罗克尼克希望世界能给它一只袜子。他在新书《噪音世界中倾听意义》中阐述了自己的观点。他在这里解释自己(用他室内的声音): “我们已经对噪音习以为常了，几乎有一种很深的偏见认为沉默是有益的。如果你告诉某人安静，你听起来像个老人。但是找到持续的安静从来没有像现在这样重要。沉默
让我们专注，改善我们的健康，是持久和平和满足的关键。”“我们需要让人们对你开始听到的声音感到兴奋，如果你只是让事情安静一点的话。在日本的茶道中，最小的声音变成了一种艺术——勺子在碗上发出轻微的清脆声音，和服的边缘擦着地板。”
“聋人在生活的几乎每一个方面都很受关注。如果两个失聪的人在一起行走，使用手语，他们会不断地互相注意，并通过稳定地注意对方来保护对方。他们相互联系，但也充分意识到他们周围的环境。即使
是失聪的青少年！噪音消除强大的爆炸。我们意识到我们周围有一个异常丰富的世界——有轻微的声音和脚步声，我不确定这是不是一个好主意。19972.第1段中的短语“往里面放一只袜子”可能是什么意思？安静，丰富多彩。充满爱，关心某人。普罗克尼克怎么说我们的？我们习惯于安静。我们必须忍受噪音。我们不认为沉默有益。我们不相信有持久的和平。根据普罗克尼克的说法，下列哪一项是正确的？答:我们的生活需要更多的声音。聋哑人没有什么可学的。我们不知道我们周围的世界有多丰富。一个日本茶商的噪音太大了。从文中可以推断出。我们可以从老年人身上受益匪浅。使用手语是个好主意。声音的世界是无法逃避的。有可能发现事物听起来有多美
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A To American visitors, Iceland is a very interesting country, partly because it is different in so many ways from what he or she is used to seeing at home. There are quite a few things that are not done, or that do not exist on the island —quite a few "No's". There is no pollution, for instance. No dogs are permitted in Reykjavik, the capital. There is no television on Thursdays or during the entire month of July, and only three hours of black-and-white TV the rest of the time. There is no hard liquor on Wednesdays and no beer at any time. There are no handguns; only one jail of thirty-five cells in the entire land —an admirable figure, even for a small country of 313,376 people. There is no army, air force or navy. There is no tipping for anything. There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays. Since Iceland is situated just under the Arctic Circle, there is no darkness in summer and no daylight in winter. But thanks to Gulf Stream, the climate is rather mild, with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees Fahrenheit to 52 degrees in July. The rules on television, liquor, and guns are the result of governmental decision. But the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that Iceland gets its power from the enormous geyser(间歇泉and the thousands of hot springs that come out of the ground. They provide all the energy needed by the country. In fact, Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power. Iceland has been described as a democratic independent country where more fish are caught and more books published per person than anywhere else in the world. The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature. They composed their first works in the ninth and tenth centuries AD. These works were poems and tales about the kings, heroes, and heroines of Iceland and Norway. At first the stories were memorized
高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案) 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Mexico sites on an island plateau (高原) surrounded by volcanic peaks, which makes air quality a constant concern for people who live there. In April, the country took a decisive step toward improving air quality by enacting a temporary ban on private and Federal vehicles in the city. The rule forbids people from driving in the city one day each week and one Saturday each month. Electric vehicles, government service vehicles, public transport options and school buses are not included in the ban. Mexico City isn't the first urban center to be involved in car-free living. But the ban is more than an awareness-raiser. It was enacted with the direct aim of solving air pollution. In March, the city sank into a deep brown haze of smog when the pollution levels passed the 200 mark. The city ordered some 1.1m of the area's 4.7m cars off the streets and also offered free bus and subway rides. Mexico City's temporary vehicle ban raises questions about the best ways to improve urban air quality. India, whose citizens breathe some of the world's dirtiest air, has tried a variety of solutions. Earlier this year, the Indian government started a 4% sales tax on new-car purchases. Beijing also has experience with cleaning the air. The city introduced alternate-day rules in advance of the 2008 Olympic Games, which produced good results. And then there is the London congestion (拥挤) charge, introduced in 2003. The charge has had a measurable effect on air quality. For now, Mexico City — named by the United Nations as the most polluted city on the planet in 1992 — can look forward to the start of the region's rainy season, when daily showers will help lo clean the air. （1）How did Mexico ban vehicles in the city? A. By banning private and Federal vehicles one day a week. B. By forbidding private and public vehicles every Saturday. C. By limiting the number of new cars. D. By prohibiting the vehicles except public ones.（2）What did the government of Mexico do when carrying out the ban on vehicles? A. Raised the number of public vehicles. B. Offered free bus and subway rides. C. Introduced more travel options. D. Encouraged citizens to leave the city. （3）What may contribute to improving the air quality in Mexico? A. Alternate-day rules. B. Tax rises. C. Congestion charge. D. The rainy season.（4）What's the best title for the passage? A. Mexico —an Island Plateau B. A Variety of Bans on Vehicles in Mexico C. Should Cities Be Car-free Zones D. How to Improve Air Quality 【答案】（1）A （2）B （3）D （4）C
2017年高考英语阅读题 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节,满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分,满分30分） 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Attending college can be expensive, and applying to college can be costly as well. With today’s college application fees averaging around $ 80, you can expect to spend hundreds of dollars on college before you are even accepted into a school. One of the easiest ways to save money on college application fees before you begin applying is to narrow down your list of schools. To save money, try to limit the schools to which you apply to about 2- reach schools and 2- safety schools. At some schools, being a relative of a graduate can secure you a free application. If you are applying to a school where one of your parents or grandparents is a former graduate, check to see if you’re qualified for it. Research the preferred method of applying for each school on your list. Some schools offer free online applications, yet charge a fee for paper submissions. This is because online applications save schools the cost of employing a staff member to physically enter the application information. Several states, such as Michigan and North Carolina, take part in College Application Week, where many schools in the participating states cancel their application fee for the week. Be sure to contact the schools to I j which you are applying to see if they participate in College Application Week and when the program takes place in that state. Apply for early admission. If you have already decided on which college is your top choice, consider applying under an Early Action or Early Decision admission program. If you are accepted, you won’t have to submit application fees to other schools. For more information regarding college applications and the fees associated with them, contact your high I school advisor or the admissions department at your school(s) of interest. 21.The passage is mainly written to______. A.introduce famous universities in the United Stales B.show some practical ways to apply an ideal college C.advertise for successful applications and advisors D.offer tips to save money on college application fees
高考英语阅读理解试题经典及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we're hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education. One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor's degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there's a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a "three-year degree" model. I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly "throw out" one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist "diluting (稀释)" the quality of the education they offer. In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it's not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns (实习生) in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University. （1）Which of the following can best sum up the main idea? A.It's time to shorten the learning process. B.Best learning takes place over time. C.University education should be watered down. D.College education calls for reform. （2）We can learn from the passage that ________. A.most American universities are against the "three-year degree" model B.many famous US universities are considering adopting the "three-year degree" model C.professors are willing to accept the "three-year degree" model D.The "three-year degree" model can make college learning more efficient （3）In most US universities, ________. A.college students are offered the co-op program B.electives' credits make up one quarter of the required credits C.all students are required to finish four-year education before graduation D.some excellent students can graduate ahead of time

（英语）高考英语阅读理解试题(有答案和解析) 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Ana, her husband Mario, and their four-year old son Antonio just moved to North Carolina. They need a temporary place to call "home" until they get settled into their new surroundings. So, Ana figured that she had better start looking for an apartment for them to stay in. First, Ana picked up an Apartment Book at her local newspaper stand. The Apartment Book contained listings of all the major apartment complexes in her area. Ana started by looking at the prices in the advertisements for apartments in the Apartment Book. Then, she read about the amenities that each apartment complex offered. For example, some apartments had a clubhouse, a gym (also called a "fitness center"), and a pool. After considering prices, amenities, and locations, Ana found a few apartment complexes that she liked. Ana called the apartment complexes. She set up appointments with the apartment managers to see the apartments she found interesting. Ana made five phone calls, total. "I'll see you then," she said to the fifth apartment manager, and hung up the phone. When Mario got home (to the hotel in which they were staying) from work, Ana showed him the list of apartments. "These look good," he said. "Mommy, let me see," said Antonio, whom Mario had just brought home from childcare. Ana showed Antonio the pictures of the apartments. The next day, while Mario was at work and Antonio was at childcare, Ana visited the apartment complexes. After visiting all five, she found that she liked the fifth one the best. It was near a good school system for her son, and it was near her and her husband's workplace. She went home and discussed it with her husband, and they decided that they wanted to rent the apartment. The next day, they called the manager of the apartment complex and told him that they would like the apartment. The manager asked them to sign a rental contract and pay a security deposit so that if any damage was done to the apartment while they were in it, the security deposit would pay for it. They signed the rental contract and paid the security deposit. Finally, they had a place to stay. （1）Which of the following is not an amenity? A.Clubhouse. B.Fitness center. C.Pool. D.High ceilings. （2）What did Ana consider while looking through the Apartment Book? A.Prices. B.Amenities. C.Locations. D.All of the above. （3）Why is the security deposit needed when people rent a house? A.Because it ensures that a renter will pay the rent on time.
如何做高考英语阅读理解推断题 高考英语阅读理解中的推断题，要求考生在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，作出一定的判断和推理，从而得出文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推断题属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题，做这类题目时，同学们要严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措词、态度和语气，找出能够表露作者思想倾向和感情色彩的词句，然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断，从而得出符合逻辑的结论。根据近几年高考英语推断题的考查情况，本文拟就对隐含意义的推断、作者观点的推断、写作目的推断以及材料出处的推断等四种典型的推断题类型进行分析，以帮助同学们熟练应对。 一、如何推断隐含意义 1．推断隐含意义的提问方式 It can be inferred from the text that______.

【英语】高考英语阅读理解试题经典 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 There are lots of ways to educate yourself on the Internet. You can find photos, documents, and films on almost any topic you can imagine. And at https://www.doczj.com/doc/5518072684.html,, you can access lectures by artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others. TED began in 1984 as a conference that brought together individuals from the fields of technology, entertainment and design. It was intended to be a one-time event focusing on technology and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the founders tried it again. This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual event. There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money. Other specialized spin-off conferences address narrower issues. The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to "offer free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers," as the website puts it. The current version of the site was launched in April 2007, and contains videos of talks given at the TED conferences around the world. The talks are transcribed into hundreds of languages. The TED website is owned by the Sapling Foundation, a non profit devoted to fostering the spread of great ideas. The Sapling foundation acquired TED in 2001. Since then, it has been focusing on using TED to broadcast ideas that might change the world. TED, of course, isn't immune to criticism. It's been called elitist(精英) for its high ticket prices (more than 6,000 dollars total). It's been accused by a few people of censorship for not publishing their talks. One controversial speaker was upset about being criticized by the conference's host afterward. The complaints, however, seem to be relatively few for such a large, long-running organization. And accusations of elitism ring hollow when so much is given away for free on TED's website. Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out. （1）What is the main topic of the article? A.The case against TED B.What's on TED today. C.Pros and cons of https://www.doczj.com/doc/5518072684.html,. D.What is TED （2）Which of the following statements is NOT true? A.The TED conference came after the success of https://www.doczj.com/doc/5518072684.html,. B.Two TED conferences are now held every year.

Lydia is Korean, and her family moved to our city so her husband could go to graduate school. We started talking, and she was apologetic about how bad her English was, but I didn't care. I knew how hard it was to learn a second language. I enjoyed chatting with Lydia as we watched our kids play. It was what came next that challenged me: Lydia asked if I'd be willing to help her with her English. Now, I am not a teacher. I admire teachers, and I'm grateful for teachers, and it's because I admire what they do so much that I was very very sure that I couldn't do it myself. But Lydia was sure that she wanted my help. I was doubtful. I wasn't sure my "help" was even worth being called by that name. But because she asked me, I said "yes." And that was the beginning of a friendship. Lydia and I spent afternoons sitting together and reading the newspaper, and as we did, she asked me questions when she had them questions about language, yes, but also questions about the new culture she found herself in. In turn, I asked my own questions, growing curious about her home country and culture. We bonded over our shared faith and our struggles as mothers of kids with special needs, When I complimented（恭维） her cooking, she began to teach me about Korean food, eventually leading to a shared trip to explore the Korean grocery stores in our city. Because of Lydia, 1 learned more about my own hometown than I ever could have learned by myself. I'm still not sure that I'm any good as a teacher. But I'm grateful I said "yes" when my neighbor asked me to help her with her English. That meant spending extra time with my neighbor, and that extra time meant she didn't remain just my neighbor. She became my friend. （1）What was Lydia sorry about? A. Her bad English. B. Her carelessness. C. Nobody teaching her English. D. Her poor life in a new place. （2）What can be concluded from the third paragraph? A. The author admired teachers. B. The author wanted to be a teacher. C. The author didn't want to help Lydia. D. The author was not confident in helping Lydia.（3）Why was the author grateful at the last paragraph? A. She managed to learn English well. B. She made friends with her neighbor. C.
