Passage 2
A group of people got together in a famous restaurant in Basel, Switzerland, waiting to eat dinner. Soon, a waiter arrived. He asked everyone in the group to put their mobile phones in a box. Then, these guests stood in a line. Finally, the waiter led the group into a completely dark dining room. This restaurant is called Blindekuh. The waiters and many other workers there are blind.
Jorge Spielmann, who is blind, opened Blindekuh in the late 1990s. Bu t Spielmann didn’t start the restaurant to get awards or to make money. Instead, he wanted to create jobs for blind people.
Today, there are many restaurants like Blindekuh. In some of the restaurants, guests can choose a “mystery meal”. Instead of “seeing” what they are eating, they have to use their other senses to recognize their food!
In these restaurants, guests do not eat alone. Many people find it difficult to eat and talk with strangers. But sitting in the dark, they feel they can speak without being judged(评判).
Sometimes people do things they won’t normally do. Blind people are often treated like they
are less able than sighted (有视力的) people. But the darkness of the restaurants changes this. There, blind people are experts, and they know more about living without sight than others! These restaurants not only give blind people jobs, more importantly, they also give them something they do not get—enough respect.

2.But Spielmann didn’t start the restaurant to get awards or to make money. Instead, he wanted to for blind people.

Passage 3
On the first day of school, our professor introduced a little old lady called Rose to us.
“Why are you in college at such a young age?” I asked jokingly. She replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel. ”
“No, seriously.” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated( 激励) her taking on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.
We became friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk non stop. I was always listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
At the end of the term, we invited Rose to make a speech to our classmates. I will never forget what she taught us.
“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to stay young, being happy and achieving success. When you lose your dreams, you die!” She said.
At last, Rose finished the college degree. One week after graduation( 毕业), Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral(葬礼) to honor the wonderful woman who taught by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibl y be.

Passage 5
People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it’s not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.
At first, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. In fact, when you are trying new things, you are growing. If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create? The simple answer is, “You can’t.” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
The second good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb( 灯泡 ). When he was asked how he felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rathe r had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when you make a mistake, you are that much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes with out thinking. Instead, it’s necessary for you to think them over when you try new things. In this way, you can avoid some unnecessary mistakes.
We shouldn’t spend all our time and money on the only one way, but use them correctly. After all, our time and money are limited. There is an old saying, “ If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.”
1.At first, _______________ are a clear sign that you are trying new things.
2.Look around you, everything you see is the result of _______________ .
3.Finally, when you make a mistake, success is _______________ you.
4.Instead, it’s necessary for you to _______________ when you try new things.
5.After all, our _______________ and money are limited.
【主旨大意】本篇是一篇议论文。文章通过实例告诉我们不要怕犯错误，犯错误是每个人走向
成功的必经之路，并且能够帮助我们更好地学习和成长。

2.someone trying new things
3.much closer to

Passage 6
Richard Jenkins used to sleep in a homeless shelter (收容所)and was named “Harvard” by bad men for being a bookworm. Now, he is going to the same Ivy League school on a full scholarship （奖学金）.
The 18-year-old teenager found out the good news while in Paris on a school trip. He said on Wednesday that he was so excited he threw his cellphone in the middle of a call.
Jenkins said he decided to work on study after lying to a friend about sleeping in a homeless shelter in the sixth grade.

Passage 7
About 10 years ago, when I was a student in college, I was working in the shop at my
university’s Museum of Natural History. One day, I saw an elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair(轮椅).
As I looked at this girl, I saw that she was seated on her chair. I realized she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and body. She was wearing a little white dress with red dots(圆点). As the couple wheeled her up to me, I was looking down at the cash register(收银处). I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink( 眨眼). As I took the money from her grandparents, the girl gave me the biggest smile I have ever seen. All of a sudden, her disability disappeared. All I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile gave me a new sense of life. She took me from being a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world of smiles, love and warmth.
That was 10 years ago, but I’m a successfu l businessman now. Whenever I am down and thinking about the troubles of the world, I think about that little girl and the life lesson she taught me.

Passage 8
One day, a student asked his teacher, “What is greed（贪婪）?” The teacher didn’t answer his question directly. He asked the student to walk through the chocolate factory next to their school and pick out the biggest chocolate bar he could find. But there was a rule: Once he passed through the factory, he could not turn back.
The student went to the chocolate factory. While he was walking, he saw a large chocolate bar. He liked it, but he thought he might be able to find a(n) even bigger one if he kept going. He kept walking and saw another chocolate bar. But again, he thought he could find an even bigger one if he kept going.
As he walked near the end of the factory, he saw fewer chocolate bars. What’s worse, none of them were as large as the earlier ones. He started to regret keeping going.
Finally, he gave up. He went back to his teacher empty handed and explained what had happened. The teacher told him, “You liked the first chocolate bar, but you kept looking for a bigger one. And later, you realized that you had given up the biggest chocolate bar because you thought you
could find a bigger one. That is called greed.”

When the well-known pianist Kong Xiangdong first made it big in the early 1990s, he was called the “piano prince (钢琴王子)”. His smart look and music performance won the hearts of many fans.
Kong’s mother had a great interest in the instrument, who provided him with a keyboard painted
on paper. It was on this soundless “instrument” that he began his piano career at the age of five. His mother put the “keyboard” in the kitchen and asked Kong to practice on it every day. “A pianist has no childhood at all,” Kong ever said.
When he was seven, Kong’s mother borrowed enough money to buy a second-hand piano for him. He was fascinated ( 着迷 ) by the beautiful sound of a real piano. So far, he has kept the old piano to remind him of those old days.
Now Kong is the headmaster of a piano school that has accepted more than 20,000 students during the past years.

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

To reduce traffic jams and air pollution, many cities have offered bike-sharing. But sometimes, dreams can turn sour. As shared bikes become more popular, problems keep showing up. According to news reports, shared bikes are badly treated by users. When people are using the bike, some of them just throw it onto streets and even into ditches(水沟). Some bikes are stolen. Recently, a man in Shanghai was fined (罚款)1,000 yuan for stealing a shared bike. Besides, the damage to the QR codes on the bikes has brought huge losses to bike-sharing companies, like Mobike. If the QR code is damaged, the bike cannot be used any more. It can take several hundred yuan for the company workers to find a lost bike and get it repaired. Mobike has 100 credit (信用) scores for each user. Penalty (惩罚)points will be taken in case of users? bad behaviors. Once the score drops to below 80, bike rental will go up to five yuan per 30 minutes. However, punishment may not be the best way to stop shared bikes from being stolen or damaged. Bike-sharing services will work well only if people follow the rules and show respect for the bikes and other users. 1. Why do many cities have offered bike-sharing? A.To provide convenience to travelers. B. To reduce traffic jams and air pollution. C. To make money for the company by renting. D. To encourage more people to excise by riding. 2. If Mr. Li credit scores is 80, he should pay for _____ his one hour?s riding shared Mobike. A. five Yuan B. eighty Yuan C. ten Yuan D. fifteen Yuan

Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer and get more information from the Internet. We can learn English. We can read some good newspapers and magazines. It can make us clever in 聊 playing computer games. We can send E-mails to our friends quickly. We can chat( 天) freely online with our friends. It can help us get in touch with people from all over the world. But some students spend too much time in playing computer game and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. Teenagers even get to have boyfriends or girlfriends online. They write too many letters to each other. It takes them to much time to chat online so they do worse and worse in their lessons and they don’t study we any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. We should get online with adults(成人)--our teacher or parents. At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some out-of-class activities at school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We have different kinds of activities. If you are interested in sports, you can play basketball or football. We can go to the English Corner. We can practice talking in English there. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet. Thank you for listening to me.That’s all.

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.

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
