Asthma(哮喘) is a long-lasting breathing disease that affects millions of Americans, many of whom are children. People who get asthma will suffer from lack of breath, difficulty in breathing or coughing--which are caused by the tightening of the muscles in airways. Untreated asthma can lead to poor lung function and death, but asthma can also be effectively controlled with proper treatments.Research is discovering genes that contribute to the development of asthma. This development has pointed researchers to the role of indoor and outdoor pollution as environmental factors that contribute to the increased occurrence of asthma.The Indoor PollutionIndoor pollution has increased with the developments in building materials and in heating and air conditioning systems. In addition to poisonous gases that come from paint, other materials like dust and perfumes used in household products such as washing powder are recycled continuously through the house, winter and summer.Unlike the days before central heating or before whole-house air conditioning, these materials and chemicals cannot get out of modern homes. Most often, they cause breathing problems in the members of the family with the least-developed autoimmune(自身免疫的) systems. Proper venting (通风) and use of environmentally-friendly building materials and carpeting can help reduce the presence of these chemicals.The Out door pollutionResearchers have also established outdoor pollution's role as a probable cause of asthma. Asthma has been proven to result from some fuel products. Smog and the small matters carried by it have been recognized as a factor which leads to asthma since the 19th century when London saw more and more diseases in the industrial population. Industrial pollutants and other chemicals which are produced in water treatment and open treated water like that found in the swimming pools also contribute to increased cases of asthma as well as other illnesses.Those most affected by the increase of industrial and environmental pollution are children. Although much has been done to control the levels of pollution in the US, there still remains much to do as it is a worldwide phenomenon. Until an international effort can be made to limit carbon emissions, the occurrence of environmental asthma will probably continue to increase./results/effects;Factors;caused/ increased;Besides;remain/ stay;increased/ increasing;harmful;prevented/stopped/ kept/ away/ free/ freed【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,分析了哮喘产生的原因,从室内污染和室外污染两个方面来进行阐述。

内江市最新版高考英语阅读理解专题练习一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解At first, Michael Surrell didn't see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors' home. He and his wife had just parked around the corner from their own house in Allentown, Pennsylvania, when they got a call from one of his daughters, "The house next door is on fire!" He went to investigate. That's when he saw two women and a girl hysterical (歇斯底里的)on their porch."The baby's in there!" one of the women cried. Though the fire department had been called, Surrell, then 64, instinctively ran inside. "The baby" was 8-year-old Tiara Roberts, the woman's granddaughter and a playmate of Surrell's three youngest kids, then 8, 10, and 12. The other two on the porch were Tiara's aunt and cousin.Entering the burning house was like "running into a bucket of black paint," Surrell says. The thick smoke caused him to stumble blindly around, burned his eyes, and made it impossible to breathe. The conditions would have been hazardous for anyone, but for Surrell, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (慢性阻塞性肺疾病), they were life-threatening. He was the last person who should have run into a burning building--- he has lung disease. But that didn't stop him.After a few minutes in the smoke filled house, he retreated outside to catch his breath. "Where is Tiara?" he asked desperately." The second floor." her aunt shouted back.Surrell knew he couldn't hold his breath for long. So he uttered a little prayer, "Well, Lord, this is it. You gotta help me, because I'm not coming out without that little girl." Taking a deep breath, he went in a second time.The darkness was overwhelming. Yet because the house had a similar layout to his, he found the stairs and made it to the second floor. He turned to the right and was met by intense heat. He was already out of breath."Baby girl, where are you?" His throat and lungs burned as if he'd inhaled fire instead of the smoke and soot in the air. Every blink stung his eyes. All he could hear was the crackling and popping of burning wood. ①.Still unable to see, Surrell fell to his knees on the hot wood floor. He crawled toward the sound, feeling around for any sign of the girl. An ominous thought crossed his mind: I'm probably gonna die up here.Finally he touched something. A shoe, then an ankle. He pulled Tiara toward him. ②Her body was limp and she wasn't breathing. He scooped her into his arms and stood. He felt the heat of the flames on his cheeks. Turning, he fought through the smoke and ran blindly into the blackness. The next thing he knew, he was at the front door, then outside. Surrell put Tiara down on the porch.③. A voice told him, "You have to breathe for her." He started CPR -the first time he'd ever done so. The women stood behind him, praying silently. Soon a soot-filled cough came from Tiara's throat. Surrell gave five more breaths. She coughed again. Her eyes flickered. He gave one final breath. She opened her eyes and took a breath on her own.④.Their eyes met. Surrell hugged her tight and said, "Uncle's got you." Soon after, his throat closed off.Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later, having suffered severe burns to his windpipe and the upper portion of his lungs. He spent over a week in the hospital. Tiara was released from the hospital after a few days. The fire exacerbated Surrell's pulmonary condition, and he feels the effects even two years later. As a result, he takes extra medication that helps open his airways. "It's a small price to pay," he says. "I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Wouldn't giveit a second thought."(1)Michael Surrell ran to save "the baby" mainly because______.A.he was on the scene casuallyB.he was driven by instinctC.his daughter was in dangerD.his own house was at risk(2)Why should Surrell be the last person to run into a burning building?A.The fire department had been called.B.He was 64 years old at that time.C.The condition was life-threatening.D.He had chronic pulmonary disease.(3)In the course of rescue, Surrell______.A.had to move out for breath because of smokeB.was prevented by the overwhelming smokeC.made it to the second floor without any troubleD.could clearly hear the sound made by the baby(4)Which blank could the sentence "Then a weak but distinct voice emerged" be best put in?A.①B.②C.③D.④(5)From the last paragraph, we can learn that______. .A.Surrell came back to life a week laterB.Tiara had to stay in hospital for weeksC.Surrell's disease became more seriousD.Tiara needed further extra medication(6)What can be a suitable title for the passage?A.Breathe for HerB.Struggle to surviveC.A small price to payD.A man with lung disease【答案】(1)B(2)D(3)A(4)A(5)C(6)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,一个患有慢性阻塞性肺疾病的人不顾个人安危去邻居家着火的房子里成功救出小女孩,因此造成他肺部疾病加重,但是他对自己所做的从不后悔。

四川省内江市2014高考英语阅读理解和完形填空训练(1)附答案People diet to look more attractive. Fish diet to avoid being beaten up, thrown out of their social group, and getting eaten as a result. That is the fascinating conclusion of the latest research into fish behavior by a team of Australian scientists.The research team have discovered that subordinate fish voluntarily diet to avoid challenging their larger competitors. “In studying gobies we noticed that only the largest two individuals, a male and female ,had breeding(繁殖) rights within the group, ”explains Marian Wong. “All other group members are non breeding females, each being 5~10% smaller than its next largest competitor. We wanted to find out how they maintain this precise size separation.”The reason for the size difference was easy to see. Once a subordinate fish grows to within 5 10% of the size of its larger competitor,it causes a fight which usually ends in the smaller goby being driven away from the group. More often than not, the_evicted_fish_is then eaten up.It appeared that the smaller fish were keeping themselves small in order to avoid challenging the boss fish. Whether they did so voluntarily,by restraining how much they ate, was not clear. The research team decided to do an experiment. They tried to fatten up some of the subordinate gobies to see what happened. To their surprise,the gobies simply refused the extra food they were offered,clearly preferring to remain small and avoid fights, over having a feast.The discovery challenges the traditional scientific view of how boss individuals keep their position in a group. Previously it was thought that large individuals simply used their weight and size to threaten their subordinates and take more of the food for themselves,so keeping their competitors small.While the habits of gobies may seem a little mysterious, Dr.Wong explains that understanding the relationships between boss and subordinate animals is important to understanding how hierarchical (等级的) societies remain stable.The research has proved the fact that voluntary dieting is a habit far from exclusive to humans. “As yet, we lack a complete understanding of how widespread the voluntary reduction of food intake is in nature,” the researchers comment. “Data on human dieting suggests that,while humans generally diet to improve health orincrease attractiveness, rarely does it improve long term health and males regularly prefer females that are fatter than the females’ own ideal.”[语篇解读] 人们节食是为了更有魅力。

四川省内江市2014高考英语阅读理解和完形填空训练(10)附答案AAll her life, my mother wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy.You could turn your back for a moment in my mother’s house, leave a half-written letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged,”as she explained.My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother’s house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused (疑惑的), she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better.These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有……的倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. “Do you remember what I was doing?” was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered.Now my_sister_has_developed_a_second-hand_love_of_clean_windows,_and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.We have all become busy persons.1.Which of the following is TRUE about my mother?A. She enjoyed removing other’s drinks.B. She became more and more forgetful.C. She preferred to do everything by herself.D. She wanted to keep her house in good order.2.My wife could not find her biscui ts and drink in my mother’s house because ______.A. she had already finished themB. my mother had taken them awayC. she forgot where she had left themD. someone in my family was holding them3.The underlined part in the fifth paragraph suggests that my sister ______.A. is happy to clean windowsB. loves to clean used windowsC. is fond of clean used windowsD. likes clean windows as my mother did4.This passage mainly tells us that ______.A. my mother often made us confusedB. my family members had a poor memoryC. my mother helped us to form a good habitD. my wife was surprised when she visited my mother1.D。
这是一道推断题。
根据第一段“It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy.”可知(母亲)希望她的房子整天保持清洁有序。
2.B。
这是一道推理题。
根据第二段可知如果你把读了一半的书放在椅子上走开,母亲会把它放回原位,所以“我妻子”找不到饼干是因为母亲把它拿走放回去了。
3.D。
这是一道推理题。
根据后面半句“and my brother does the cleaning in his house.”可以推断出这句话是说我妹妹在妈妈的影响下也开始喜欢干净明亮的窗户了。
4.C。
这是一道主旨题。
本文主要讲述了母亲喜欢干净整洁,在她的影响下,我们全家都养成了这个好习惯。

Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past ten years. A drunken driver is usually referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially concerning young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant(忍受).Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend(逆转潮流)in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18—20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist pe er pressure to drink.Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked drop in accidents, some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously drunk” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are evenbeginning to speak well of the 13 years national prohibition(禁令)of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forgot that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption (腐败)and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.57. What can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in New Jersey?A. Young drivers were usually bad.B. The legal drinking age should be raised.C. Some drivers didn’t surprise the legal drinking age.D. Drivers should not be allowed to drink.58.

BADA*************************************************结束ATo complete a study, a team of scientists left Boston and went halfway aroundthe world to the middle of Kenya.They wanted to find out more about barefoot running.Sure, people can run barefoot anywhere.But Kenya has produced some of the most famous long-distance runners in history, and many of these athletes grew up not wearing shoes.Scientist Daniel Lieberman visited some of these runners to figure out whata difference shoes make.It was a big difference, and not necessarily for the better.In particular, whena bare foot hits the ground, the blow(冲击) is softer and the running motion is smoother.Running barefoot may have advantages over running with shoes on, though more studies are needed to determine whether or not barefoot running reduces the chanceof injures.One shouldn't be scared of barefoot running or think it strange, Lieberman told Science News. It's normal and, if done properly, it is very fun and comfortable.Previous studies have shown that when a person runs barefoot, he lands on the fronts or middles of the feet.Then the heels(脚后跟) go down.During this process,the weight of the body is at first on the fronts of the feet, then moves to the heels.When a person wears shoes, however, he tends to run so that his heels hit the ground first.The effect of the heel hitting the ground many he much more forcefulthan the effect of the front of the foot hitting the ground.The researches also studied barefoot runners in their laboratory.The goal wasto measure the force with which a runner's foot hits the ground.A rear-foot (后足) strike is like someone hitting you on the foot with a hammer with about one anda half to three times your body weight.It would hurt without a shoe.Lieberman said.A forefoot strike is like having no one hit you at all.The study explores the physicsof running, which is a complex topic.The idea that barefoot running is better is a massive assumption.Reed Ferber,a biochemist at the University of Calgary in Canada said.Basically, there are no studies out there that show barefoot running is less injurious.41.Lieberman' s attitude towards barefoot running is ______.A.supportive B.negative C.neutralD.unclear42.According to the studies, if you run barefoot, you ______.A.have your heels hit the ground firstB.set the fronts of the feet on the ground firstC.load more body weight on your feetD.run faster than you run with shoes on43.It can be learned from the sixth paragraph that ______.A.the physics of running is really complicatedB.running can be different in stylesC.different running styles have different advantagesD.running ability is related to one' s genes.44.Which of the following statements may Reed Ferber agree to?A.The idea to do barefoot running can become true.B.It is much better for runners to run barefoot.C.Barefoot running reduces the possibility of injures.D.Don't throw out the fancy running shoes just yet.*******************************************************结束1(2012·湖南长沙一模,A篇)CLASSIFIED ADSJOB WANTEDI'm Black,a 25 young man living in Shanghai and looking for a job in a variety of fields,web designer,teaching Spanish or English or working as a waiter or bar tender.I have a friendly personality and am hard working.If you have any job that you think I could do,please do not hesitate about contacting me.Backer1896@ JOB OFFEREDEL house is wellknown English learning center for primary and high school students.We are looking for native English teacher who can teach the following subject(s) to our students who are planning to study abroad.The incumbent shouldfulfill the following requirements:—Experienced in exam preparations (TOEFL,IELTS,SAT)—Degree holder—Experienced in teaching either mathematics,physics or business—Excellent command of English in both oral and written—Experienced in teaching higher academic level English—Native English teachers or Bilingual teachers with native command of English JGHTR@SHAREI'm Margaret,looking for a person with a positive outlook on life to share the bedroom in a wonderfullylocated luxury apartment.That's near everything and has everything:hardwood floors,international TV,washer/dryer.Other two rooms already occupied by a French and a Kiwi women,both professional.Please contact me.MLCT@FOR RENTCNY 12,000/lovely apartment near West Nanjing RoadLayout:3 bedrooms,2 bathroomsSize:120sqmMonthly rental:RMB 12,000Compound:First BlockFacilities:gym,tennis court,indoor swimming pool,children's playground LYG2560@1.Margaret is now looking for ______.A.her lost cat B.an apartment C.a jobD.a roommate2.Which of the following is NOT the requirement of EL house?A.Experienced in exam preparations.B.Experienced in teaching Chinese.C.Excellent command of English.D.Degree holder.3.To look for a person to work in your restaurant,you can contact ______.A.LYG2560@B.MLCT@C.Backer1896@D.JGHTR@4.If you rent the apartment near West Nanjing Road,______.A.you should pay RMB 13,000 each monthB.you can work out in the gymC.you can go shopping in the neighborhoodD.you can swim in an outdoor swimming pool5.What does the underlined word “incumbent” mean?A.Businessman.
