But according to a recent study, there is a different story.The study suggests the Chinese government’s long-running efforts to control the Yellow River with levees(防洪堤) and other flood-control systems actually made flooding much worse. This, researchers claim, set the stage for a catastrophic flood between 14-17 AD, which may have caused the collapse of the Western Han Dy nasty. ―Human intervention(介入) in the Chinese environment is relatively massive, remarkably early and nowhere more keenly witnessed than in attempts to control the Yellow River,‖ said Dr Tristram Kidder from Washington University.Dr Kidder’s research is b ased on a study of sedimentary soils(沉积土) deposited along the Yellow River over thousands of years. It included data from the Sanyangzhuang site, known today as ―China’s Pompeii,‖ which was slowly buried beneath five metres of sediment during a massive flood in 14-17 AD. It also looked at the Anshang site, discovered in 2012, which includes the remains of a human-constructed levee dating back to the Zhou Dynasty from 1046-256 BC.Researchers said patterns of sedimentary deposits date back about 10,000 years. Nearly a third of this 10,000-year cross-section has been deposited in the last 2,000 years, indicating that the rate of deposit has steadily increased at a pace that mirrors the expansion of human activity in the region. ―Our analysis clearly shows that these levees are not naturally formed, but are indeed artificially created through the work of humans,‖ said Dr Kidder.His research suggests the Chinese began building drainage(排水) canals and bank systems along the lower reaches of the Yellow River between 2,900 and 2,700 years ago. The sedimentary record shows a vicious cycle of primitive levees built larger and larger as erosion(侵蚀) increased, and periodic floods grew more widespread and destructive. ―It’s easy to see the trap they fell into,‖ Dr Kidder said. ―Building levees causes sediments to accumulate in the river bed, raising the river higher, and making it more vulnerable to flooding, which requires you to build the levee higher, which causes the sediments to accumulate, and the process repeats it self.‖While there are many theories behind the fall of the Western Han Dynasty, Dr Kidder’s research suggests human interaction with the environment played a central role.19. What is the different story mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. Flooding of the Yellow River may have claimed millions of lives.B. Flooding of the Yellow River may have resulted from humans’ breaking the laws of nature.C. Flooding of the Yellow River may have been worsened due to human intervention.D. Flooding of the Yellow River may have caused the collapse of the Western Han Dynasty.20. Dr Kidder’s research findings are achieved thanks to the study of .A. the theories of building flood-control systemsB. great flooding happening in ancient ChinaC. the history of the Western Han DynastyD. sediments along the Yellow River21.The underlined part ―the trap‖ in the last but one paragraph refers to ―‖.A. the primitive levees being more vulnerable to floodingB. the ever-increasing river bed making the river more likely to floodC. the sediments accumulating in the river bed making the river bank looserD. the ever-increasing river bed making the levee-building work more difficultCLook into hunters’ eyesHA VE you ever been face to face with a cat or a sheep? If you have, you probably noticed that cats narrow their eyes to vertical (垂直的) slits (狭缝), while sheep have horizontal pupils (瞳孔).Why is the difference?Scientists from the Universities of California Berkeley and Durham in Britain may have the answer. Their research, published recently in the journal Science Advances, suggested that pupils’ shapes could tell whether an animal is a hunter or gets hunted.The researchers took a close look at the eyes of 214 land animals. The challenge was to see if they could find a relati onship between an animal’s role in the food chain and the pupils’ shapes.They found a pattern. Species with pupils that are vertical slits are more likely to be small ambush predators (捕猎者) –creatures that lie in wait for their lunch. In contrast, those with horizontal pupils are more likely to be plant-eating prey (猎物) species.Evolution chose the arrangement for a good reason. For hunters such as household cats, it appears that vertical pupils not only improve their ability to keep track of moving objects like mice, but also maximize (使最大化) their ability to judge the distances of the animals they hunt.However, an interesting discovery from the study is that the slit pupils are mostly linked to hunters that are close to the ground. Therefore, bigger cats who actively hunt down their prey, like tigers and lions, don’t have slit pupils.On the other hand, for plant-eating prey animals, horizontal pupils give them a wider field of vision. When stretched (伸展) horizontally, the pupils allow for more light to enter from the front, back, and sides. Meanwhile, they also limit the amount of light from the sun above so the animal can see the ground better. ―Once they do detect (发现) a predator, they need to see where they are running,‖ said leading researcher Martin Banks, a UC Berkeley professor of optometry (视光学). ―They have to see well enough out of the corner of their eye to run quickly and jump over things.‖But what happens when they bend down to eat? Researchers checked this by watching prey animals in the Oakland Zoo in California, US. They confirmed (确认) that when goats lower their heads to eat, their eyes rotate (旋转) to keep their pupils horizontal.So it seems that the eyes are indeed the window to the soul!22. What is the article mainly about?A. How animals keep track of moving objects.B. Why animals have evolved with different shaped pupils.C. How animals change their pupils’ shape when hunting for food.D. How the pupils’ shape influences an animal’s ability to detect a predator.23. According to the study, slit pupils ______.A. help to provide a wider field of visionB. are more likely to belong to big predatorsC. are more likely to belong to those to get huntedD. provide the sharpest way to judge hunting distance24. What can we conclude from the article about plant-eating prey animals?A. Their pupils allow more light to be received from both above and below.B. Their pupils are able to help them scan their surroundings for threats.C. Once they detect a predator, their eyes rotate to help them find where to run.D. When they lower their heads to eat, they narrow their eyes to vertical slits.DMy mind went blank when I saw the gun pointing against the car window as we pulled out of the garage. This can’t be happening to me. Then I felt the gun, co ld, against my head, and I heard my friend Jeremy saying, ―What do you want? Take my wallet,‖ but at the time I thought of nothing.I remember being a little annoyed when the gunman pulled me from the car by the hair. I remember the walk to the house --- Jeremy, me, the two men with two guns. I remember the fear and anger in the gunmen’s voices because Jeremy was being slow, and I remember wondering why he was being slow. I did not realize that Jeremy had thrown the keys into the bush. But I remember that sound of the gun hitting Jeremy’s head and the feeling as the man who had hold of my hair released me. And I remember the split second when I realized he was looking at Jeremy, and I remember wondering how far I could run before he pulled the trigger. But I was already running, and upon reaching the car across the street, I didn’t crouch(蹲伏) behind it but screamed instead.I remember thinking there was something ridiculous and illogical about screaming ―Help, help!‖ at eight o’clock on a Tuesday evening in December and changing my plea(恳求) to themore specific ―Help, let me in, please let me in!‖ But the houses were cold, closed, unfriendly, and I ran on until I heard Jeremy’s screams behind me announcing that our attackers had fled.The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats and helped Jeremy find his glasses and keys. In a group they were very brave. We waited for the police to come until someone said to someone else that the noodles were getting cold, and I said politely, ―Please go and eat. We’re OK.‖I was happy to see them go. They had been talking of stricter sentences for criminals, of bringing back the death penalty(处罚) and how the President is going to clean up the country. I was thinking, they could be saying all of this over my dead body, and I still feel that stiffer sentences wouldn’t change a thing. In a rush all the anger I should have felt for my attackers was directed against these contented people standing in front of their warm, comfortable homes talking about all the guns they were going to buy. What good would guns have been to Jeremy and me?People all over the neighborhood had called to report our screams, and the police turned out in force twenty minutes later. They were ill-tempered about what was, to them, much trouble about nothing. After all, Jeremy was hardly hurt, and we were hopeless when it came to describing the gunmen. ―Typical,‖ said one policeman when we couldn’t even agree on how tall the men were. Both of us were able to describe the guns in horrifying detail, but the two policemen who stayed to make the report didn’t think that would be much help.The policemen were matter-of-fact about the whole thing. The thin one said, ―That was a stupid thing to do, throwing away the keys. When a man has a gun against your head you do what you’re told.‖ Jeremy looked properly embarrassed.Then the fat policeman came up and the thin one went to look around the outside of the house. ―That was the best thing you could have done, throwing away the keys,‖ he said. ―If you had gone into the house with them…‖ His voice became weaker. ―They would have hurt her‖ --- he twisted his head toward me --- ―and killed you both.‖ Jeremy looked happier. ―Look,‖ said the fat policeman kindly, ―there’s no right or wrong in the situation. There’s just luck.‖ All that sleepless night I replayed the moment those black gloves came up to the car window. How long did the whole thing last? Three minutes, five, eight? No matter how many hours of my life I may spend reliving it, I know there is no way to prepare for the next time --- no intelligent response to a gun. The fat cop was right. There’s only luck. The next time I might end up dead.And I’m sure there will be a next time. It can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. S ecurity is an illusion(幻觉); there is no safety in locks or in guns. Guns make some people feel safe and some people feel strong, but they’re fooling themselves.25. When the writer saw the gun pointing against the car window, ________.A. she felt very annoyedB. she lost consciousnessC. s he lost the power of thinkingD. she felt very much nervous26. What most possibly drove the two gunmen away?A. Jeremy’s fightingB. The police’s arrivalC. Their neighbor’s brave actionD. The auth or’s screaming27. When the author called for help, the neighbors didn’t come out immediately because ________.A. t hey needed time to find baseball batsB. they were busy preparing dinnersC. they were much too frightenedD. they thought someone was playing a trick28. The author was happy to see the neighbors go because ________.A. she wanted to be left alone with Jeremy to get over the shockB. she did not want to become an object of pityC. she was angered by their being late to come to her helpD. she hated to listen to their empty talk29. The police were rather angry because ________.A. they thought it was a case of little importanceB. the author was not hurt and gave a false alarmC. the author and Jeremy could not tell the police anythingD. the gunmen had already fled when they arrived on the scene30. What the author wants to tell us is that ________.A. neighbors are not helpful in moments of difficultyB. security is impossible as long as people can have gunsC. the police are not reliable when one is in troubleD. preventing robbers entering your house is the best choice自主练习34答案1-5 CBABC 6-10 CBDBA 11-15 ACABA16-18 DBC 19-21 CDB 22-24 BDB 25-30 CDCDAB。

江苏如东县2016高考英语阅读理解（二轮）训练（3）含答案【2015高考复习】阅读理解A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health andSocial Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healt-hily and happily，it is a bad thing for young people.Puppy love (早恋）may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression(抑郁症）．The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys，and younger girls are the worst of all。

The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”．According to the study，even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”，this“loss of self”is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls。

Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions.They won't tell that to their parents.Dr Marianm Kaufman,an expert on young people problems,says 15％to 20% young people will have depression during their growing.Trying romance often causes the depression.She advises kids not to jump into romance too early.During growing up，it is important for young people tobuild strong friendships and a strong sense of self。

Then she continued：“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.〞“There is no greater comf ort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.〞There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping.

Early­airport people suffer another“name〞．They are called exactly what they are—wimps(懦夫)．I know I am an early­airport person for years.My luggage will get on the plane first，which makes it the last luggage they take off the plane after landing. Another strange thing：No matter how early I showed up，I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat.I figured it was a trick.I figured there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said，“Is that wimp Simon flying somewhere today？If he is，give me his seat.〞 After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead，I have learned another fact about early­airport people and late­airport people：They always marry each other.13．We can learn from the passage that________.A．late­airport persons often get ulcers or heart attacksB．early­airport persons are always relaxed during the flightC．early­airport persons get their luggage first after landingD．late­airport persons always take things easy14．It could be inferred that the writer’s wife is________.A．an early­airport woman B．a late­airport womanC．a hot­tempered woman D．a fascinating woman15．The writing style of the passage would be best described as________.A．serious B．simpleC．humorous D．indifferent第二节〔共 5 小题：每一小题 2 分，总分为 10 分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。
