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。
Experts believe that storms and severe weather in North America and Asia have disrupted bird flight paths across the world and swept huge numbers of bird species towards the British Isles.
Birds flying to the other side of the Atlantic or to the Pacific to lay their eggs have been trapped in Britain and Ireland,adding their numbers to native species,and causing great excitement in the bird-watching community.
Local birdwatchers have already observed a total of442species in the British Isles this year.The highest number ever seen in one year is445,in2008.
“We only need four more to break our record,”said Lee Evans,who runs the British Birding Association.“With three months to go I’m sure we’ll do it.”
Last month an extremely rare Siberian Rubythroat bird was seen in Scotland,sending hundreds of birdwatchers north in the hope of catching a glimpse of this colourful Asian beauty.Another very uncommon bird,the bufflehead duck was cited in Cornwell and caused similar excitement.“I couldn’t believe it,”said Evans.“The poor thing was completely knackered.It must have been blown to England by the storms while trying to fly from Canada to the southern United States for the winter.That’s3000miles!”Evans said that global warming over the past decade was playing a key role in transforming bird movements across the world.In addition,melting Arctic sea ice may also be opening up bird flight paths over the North Pole,making it easier for birds from the Pacific—such as the slaty-backed gull and tufted puffin,both of which appeared in London earlier this year—to reach Britain.
Bird-watching is becoming an increasingly popular hobby among all age groups,added Evans.“A fifth of our members are under18.This is a round-the-year hobby that you can enjoy from the kitchen window or from a car.More and more people are
bird-watching,and as a result more and more unexpected species are being spotted in the British Isles.”
1.What is the passage mainly about?

Last night's meteor(流星)shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers.According to Gabe Rothschild,Emerald Valley's mayor,people gathered in the suburbs of the city,carrying heavy telescopes,expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky.What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city's lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.“My family was so frustrated，”admitted town resident Duane Cosby.“We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing,but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.”Astronomers—scientists who study stars and planets—have been complaining about this problem for decades.They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in
the sky that they could see quite easily in the past.They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.
There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution.This population consists of birds,bats,frogs，snakes，etc.For example,outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(迁徙的)birds.According to the Internatio nal DarkSky Asso ciation，“100million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”
Countless more animal casualties(伤亡)result from the use of artificial lighting.Clearly，people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings,but some scientis ts think it can be harmful for humans，too.They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase a person's chances of getting cancer.
Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution.For years,Flagstaff,Arizona,has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory.Similar efforts have been made worldwide,and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them,so that other creatures can share the night.
1．It happened last night that________．
A.the city's lights affected the meteor watching
B．the meteors flew past before being noticed
C．the city light show attracted many people
D．the meteor watching ended up a social outing
2．What do the astronomers complain about?
A．Meteor showers occur less often than before.
B．Their observation equipment is in poor repair.
C．Light pollution has remained unsolved for years.
D．Their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting.
3．What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph4?
A.Birds may take other migration paths.
B．Animals'living habits may change suddenly.
C．Varieties of animals will become sharply reduced.
D．Animals'survival is threatened by outdoor lighting.
4．Lighting regulations in Flagstaff,Arizona are put into effect to________．A．lessen the chance of getting cancer
B．create an ideal observation condition
C．ensure citizens a good sleep at night
D．enable all creatures to live in harmony
5．What message does the author most want to give us?
A．Saving wildlife is saving ourselves.
B．Great efforts should be made to save energy.
C．Human activities should be environmentally friendly.
D．New equipment should be introduced for space study.
【要点综述】本文是一篇科普文，主要介绍了城市的光污染对日常生活、天文学家的工作以及动物的生活都产生了消极的影响。在Flagstaff，Arizona已经采取了灯光管理措施。
1．A细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“…so brightened by the city's lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.”可知，昨天晚上由于城市的灯光太亮，影响了人们观看流星。故选A。
2．C细节理解题。根据第三段“…have been complaining about this problem for decades.They say that light pollution prevents them from…”可知，天文学家多年来一直在抱怨光污染问题未解决。故选C。
3．D推理判断题。根据第四段第一、二句“…that suffers even more from light pollution.This population consists of birds,bats,frogs,snakes,etc.”以及本段最后一句“…‘100million birds a year throughout…die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.’”可知，作者第四段主要叙述的是动物也受到了光污染的影响，甚至它们的生存也受到了影响。故选D。
4．B推理判断题。根据第六段第二句“…has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at…”可知，这条规定是为了给天文学家的工作创造理想的观察条件。故选B。
5．C主旨大意题。根据整篇文章的叙述，作者主要描述了城市的光污染对人们生活、工作以及动物的生存造成的影响，因此作者在文中呼吁我们人类的活动应该对环境有利。故选C。
【2015高考】阅读理解
When someone meets a stranger with the same hobby，that person immediately becomes a friend.People enjoy the company of others who share a similar interest.Often they will form a club and travel great distances to attend meetings
where they can talk about their hobbies.Other people
have such unusual hobbies that no one else can share
them.Sometimes they try to do something better，faster or
longer than anyone else in order to have their names
included in the Guinness Book of World Records.
A lady in Massachusetts may have the world's easiest hobby：she lets her hair grow.Diane Witt has not cut her hair for twelve years.It is now eight feet(2.44meters)long，and she will soon set a new world record and her name will be placed in the Guinness book.A thirty-year-old man in Pennsylvania played the piano for forty-five days and eleven hours，while a musician in Connecticut played the flute(长笛)for forty-three hours.
A teacher in California typed for over162hours，and a lady from Iowa spent six years typing the numbers from one to one million.Probably the cleanest people in the world are two young women from England who stayed in the shower for over ninety-eight hours；but a man in Oregon was more than twice as clean after taking a shower that lasted two hundred hours.
Someone once said that“Records are made to be broken”．One record that many young men might enjoy breaking is the one made by Roger Guy English of California.During a period of eight hours，Roger kissed three thousand young women.
【语篇解读】文章主要介绍了一些吉尼斯世界记录。
1．From the passage we know that________.
A．some people do something special to put names in the Guinness Book of World Records
B．it took a lady from Iowa six months to type the numbers from one to one million C．a teacher in California typed for over8days
D．a lady in New York hasn't had hair cut for12years
答案A[细节理解题。D项的New York应改成Massachusetts；B、C项的时间不对，故选A。]
2．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Diane Witt's hair is now eight meters long.
B．A thirty-year-old man in Pennsylvania played the piano for2,160hours.
C．A musician in Connecticut played the violin for one day and19hours.
D．Two young women from England stayed in the shower for over6days.
答案B[细节理解题。A项的meters应改成feet；C项的violin应改成flute；D项的时间不对。]
3．The underlined word“company”(in Paragraph1)means________.
A．being excellent B．being similar
C．being friendly D．being together
答案D[词义猜测题。根据上下文可知人们喜欢跟有相同兴趣的人走在一起，所以此词是“陪伴，在一起”的意思。]
4．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Guinness Book.
B．How to Get World Records.
C．World Records.
D．Records Are Made to Be Broken.
答案C[主旨大意题。此文主要是向我们介绍一些世界纪录，因此C是最佳选项。] 5．Judging from the writing style of the passage，it is________.
A．a piece of advertisement
B．a science report
C．a passage for professional reading
D．a passage from a magazine
答案D[推理判断题。吉尼斯记录不是广告，故A项错误；文章的专业性不强，不属于专业性的阅读文章，也不可能是科学报告；文章的内容应归为生活消遣类，
因此最可能出现在杂志上。]

阅读理解训练50篇（1） 1 Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell.But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hor- mones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etC．In general the person feels excited and ready to act. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger. 1．“Damaging emotion” means t hat _________.

高考完形填空专项训练步步高 抓好三方面●跨好三大步●做好三结合 ------谈完形填空解题技巧中学生在做完形填空题时存在的问题，概括起来有以下三方面： 1.不善于抓文章的主旨大意，并以此为中心展开对整篇文章的推理、判断，导致理解上出现偏差，甚至和文章的中心相悻。 2.容易受定势思维的影响，对文意分析不透，忽视特定语境中知识的运用。 3.对完形填空题怀有厌倦、畏惧心理，以至做题时处于应付状态，做题能力得不到提高。 那么，怎样才能提高做完形填空题的能力呢？我们应从以下三方面入手训练思维能力和解题技巧：抓准主旨、透析文意、理清逻辑。并在做题过程中把这三方面与做完形填空的三大步骤“通读、精读、复读”有机结合，明确每步的思维主攻方向。即抓好三方面，跨好三大步，做好三结合。 一、通读短文抓主旨 一般情况下，完形填空短文都不给标题，不容易把握文章的主题和大意。但短文首句通常不设空格，这就为我们窥视文章全貌提供了一个窗口，而尾句往往是文章的总结、结论或点睛之笔，所以抓住开篇启示作用的首句和总结概括性的尾句是必要的。借助于首尾句给予的启示，克服不良心理的影响，满怀信心，全神贯注，目光越过空格，注意能体现文章大意的关键词句，尽力从整体上理解短文大意，这是逐空填词的重要依据和基础。如果一开始就忙于见空填空，势必无法从整体上把握全文概要，无法形成连贯的思路，只见树木不见森林，理解偏离文章的中心，造成顾，此失彼的错误，甚至影响做题速度。 抓住了文章的主旨大意后，我们围绕主旨大意去阅读、预测、推理、判断，往往会收到事半功倍的效果。尤其是一些干扰性强，容易使人犯想当然错误的选项就会迎刃而解。 二、精读短文析文意 在基本抓住文章的主旨后，应逐句精读短文，逐题分析选项，对特定的语境做深人的理解，克服“定势思维”，根据全文大意和词不离句，句不离文的原则，逐项填空。切不可以单纯的词汇辨析或语法角度去做题，而应以能否恰如其分地表达文意作为选择最佳答案的唯一标准。要吃透文意，理解到位，我们应做到以下几点： 1.从上下文的角度考虑，注意其内在联系。就题论题，断章取义，忽视上下文的信息提示是我们常犯的错误。因此我们在做题时要注重暗含的信息提示，找准突破口，确保文意畅通。 2.从词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的角度去考虑，准确判断。NMET完形填空题中考查词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的题目逐年增多，必须结合上下文把握文意，研读

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

高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony (殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide. As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies' Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls' school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys' school. Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff's School. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God. （1）How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff's school? A. Through his father's friend's help. B. Through his own efforts to exams. C. Through his father's request. D. Through Mrs. Gutzlaff's influence. （2）Why did the author's parents put him into an English school？ A. An English school was more influential. B. Foreign trade with China was developing fast. C. It met with Chinese public opinion. D. He could become a successful interpreter. （3）What did the author think of his parents' decision to put him into an English school? A. It was skeptical. B. It was mysterious. C. It was thoughtful. D. It was wonderful.【答案】（1）A （2）D （3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，小时候父亲送作者去英语学校而不是中文学校，并分析了具体原因。 （1）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school”可知，作者是通过父亲朋友的帮助进入到Mrs.
