This is your 21 speaking.” We looked at the back of the driver’s head. “Put your 22down, all ofyou.” The papers came down. “Now, turn and 23 the person next to you.”Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an old woman. I saw her 24 every day. We waited for the next 25 from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good mornin g, neighbor!” But our voices were a little 26. For many of us, this was the 27 word we had spoken that day. When we said them together, like 28 to people beside us, we couldn’t help 29. There was the feeling of relief. Moreover, there was the sense of ice being 30. To say the three words was not so 31 after all.The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t 32_. Not a single newspaper went back up.

The parents of children aged 5 to 11 said the choice of lawyer had dropped by only one place on a top 10 list to sixth, while teacher had dropped to ninth from top in the last 25 or more years. The survey for British TV channel “Watch” found a great difference between the genders (性别) of today’s young people when compared with their parents’ dreams 25 years or more ago.Playing professional football, being an astronaut and joining the firefighting service topped the boys’ choices, while girls are more likely to be dreaming of taking to the stage as a pop star or actress or joining the medical profession.When asked what they would like their children to do for a living, today’s parents still like the academic (学术的) professions (职业), with law and medicine scoring highly, while being a boss came third.Parents also praised job happiness above wealth(财富) when it comes to their hopes for their children.Nearly 70 percent of the parents surveyed thought that they failed to follow their dreams when i t came to their career, with 37 percent thinking it was caused by a lack of aspiration and not having the necessary conditions.36. From the passage we know that most parents still hope that in the future their children can take up ______.A. jobs such as musicians, singers and dancersB. jobs related to academic professions like lawyers and doctorsC. jobs in which they will not be endangeredD. jobs which will be well paid only37. The first paragraph is to advise parents to ______.A. change their children’s dreamsB. correct their children’s dreamsC. follow their children’s dreamsD. forget their children’s dreams38. According to the survey for British TV channel “Watch”, which of the following is the boys’best career choice?A. A pop star B. An actor C. A doctor D. A firefighter39.What can be learnt from the passage?A. Parents’ hope for their children’s career did not chan ge too much.B. Parents pay much attention to the income of their children.C. Less than half of the parents who were surveyed didn’t follow their dreams.D. Most parents didn’t have the necessary conditions to realize their dreams.40.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Many reasons cause the change of children’s dreams.B. Parents’ dreams are different from children’s.C. Parents are changing their own dreams.D.

【英语】高考英语一轮复习专项训练阅读理解含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Daniella Wride was brushing her daughter's long brown hair when she noticed that with each comb, masses of the hair were coming out. That was January 1, 2017. Within 20 days, seven-year-old Gianessa Wride's hair was completely gone, and her doctor said the hair would never grow back. Gianessa had become one of the 6. 8 million Americans with alopecia, an auto-immune disease that causes hair loss.Alopecia isn't painful, but for kids who suffer from it, the severe pain comes from standing out from the crowd. For the most part, the students in Gianessa's first-grade class in Salem, Utah, were understanding. But the occasional jokes of "Baldy"(秃子) made her feel like an abandoned child. "I didn't want her to feel that she wasn't like the other kids," her mother said." I tried covering her baldness, but the artificial hair was uncomfortable."Then comes the school's traditional "Crazy Hair Day" in April, a great just-for-fun celebration where all the kids and their parents can express their wild sides a bit. Daniella and Gianessa decided that rather than hide Gianessa's baldness under the artificial hair, they would celebrate it. Daniella bought scrapbook-sticker (贴纸) jewels and decorated her head with flowered designs and even a deer. "They just fit her personality," Daniella smiled. "She's so lovely."On the morning of the competition, Gianessa was nervous. Would her friends think it was funny? However, with her mother's encouragement, she had nothing to fear. Impressive Gianessa was a hit and a winner of the crazy-hair competition. Gianessa is now glad that she dared to go bare. "I was sad at first when I lost all my hair," she told people. "But now I love being bald. I can do things to my head that other kids can't. I'm thinking now it might be fun to decorate my head with some colourful butterflies and flowers. "（1）Why was Gianessa different from other kids?A.She was born bald.B.She suffered from hair loss.C.She was talented in hair designing.D.She had her head fully shaved.（2）How did others react to Gianessa's disease?A.Her doctor was quite optimistic.B.Her mother gave her artificial hair.C.Her classmates were all considerate.D.Her school offered her special help.（3）What could Gianessa do on the "Crazy Hair Day"?A.She could tease others.B.She could decorate her hair.C.She could shop scrapbook-stickers.D.She could show her personality.（4）What is the main idea of the text?A.The girl faced her disease in a most beautiful way.B.The artificial hair built up the girl's confidence.C.The competition served as a way to make a change.D.The disease was cured with mother's love and care.【答案】（1）B（2）B（3）D（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，一个七岁的女孩Gianessa Wride得了一种疾病，掉光了头发还不可能再重新长出来，但是她终于在家人和同学们的帮助下，勇敢地展现她的个性，愉快地生活。

Obese people are extremely overweight, and those extra pounds are tied to an increase in a person's risk for many different diseases and serious medical conditions, including diabetes, heart disease and cancer.The research reveals “the influence of environmental factors on people's health, in particular obesity，” Laura Kettel Khan, a nutritionist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, told Science Ne w s.Lawrence Frank, an urban planner and public health researcher at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, led one of the studies. Urban planners study the design of cities and work to build better places to live in. He and his colleagues looked at hundreds of neighborhoods in California's San Diego County and in Washington's King County, which includes Seattle.They judged all the neighborhoods according to their nutrition and physical activity. The neighborhoods that scored highest on nutrition had a supermarket nearby that sold fresh produce and few fast food restaurants in the area. Neighborhoods that scored highest on physical activity had parks and were “walkable”，which means residents can walk to many places they'd want to go to.The researchers then looked at health information from 681 children, ages 6 to 11, who lived in those areas. About 1 in 12 children who lived in neighborhoods near parks or supermarkets were obese. In neighborhoods lacking parks and markets, the obesity rate among children doubled, to about 1 in 6.The work “will inform the way we think about cities and how to design neighborhoods，”Jennifer Black told Science Ne w s. Black, who didn't work on the new studies, is a nutritionist at the University of British Columbia. “We have a pretty strong sense that if it's easier for people to safely and comfortably walk to the kinds of things they want, they'll be more likely to be physically active and spend less time driving，” she adds.The researchers also found that newer neighborhoods scored lower than older neighborhoods, which suggests that some new housing developments may work against the health of the people who live there.Many communities no longer provide parks and markets within walking distance, Frank told Science Ne w s. “If we want to reverse the obesity epidemic(流行病), we need to reverse the way we're building our communities.”16．The best title for the passage is “________”．A．Obesity related to eatingB．Obesity tied to many diseasesC．Obesity linked to locationD．Obesity linked to city planning17．What did the researchers do for the study?A．They surveyed thousands of neighborhoods in California and in Washington.B．They graded each neighborhood based on nutrition and physical activity.C．They interviewed nearly seven hundred children of the neighborhoods.D．They looked at health information of each neighborhood from its young residents.18．What did Lawrence Frank and his colleagues find in their research?A．Kids living near parks or markets are less likely to be extremely overweight.B．There are parks near the neighborhoods that score highest on physical activity.C．Living in neighborhoods near parks or supermarkets can keep obesity in control.D．More new neighborhoods are built with human health taken into consideration.19．It is inferred from the saying of Jennifer Black that ________．A．driving is bad for healthB．eating right is good for healthC．living actively determines healthD．getting exercise is good for health20．According to the passage, what does Lawrence Frank think of today's urban planning?A．It is amazing.B．It is satisfying.C．It is worrying.D．It is positive.BToday we will explain a very old saying that has had a big influence on rock­and­roll music. That saying is “A rolling stone gathers no moss”．It has several meanings. One meaning is that a person who never settles down in one place will not be successful. Another is that someone who is always moving, with no roots in one place, avoids responsibilities.This proverb was said to be first used in the 1500s. But in the 1960s, the expression “rolling stone” became famous in the world of rock-and-roll music. It became the name of a song, a rock group and a magazine.Experts say it all started with a song by the American singer and guitarist Muddy Waters. He was one of the country's top blues musicians until his death in 1983. His music influenced singers like Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan. In 1950, Muddy Waters recorded a song called “Roll ing Stone”．A British rock group is said to have taken its name from Muddy Waters' song. The Rolling Stones performed for the first time in 1962.The group's members called themselves “the world's greatest rock-and-roll band”．In 1965, Bob Dylan released his song “Like a Rolling Stone”．It is one of his best known and most influential works.It is an angry song about a woman who was once rich and successful. But now she is on her own，“with no direction home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone”．In 1967, a young man named Jann Wenner started a magazine and he named it “Rolling Stone”．The magazine reported on rock music and the popular culture that the music created. By 1971，“Rolling Stone” had become the leading rock music and counterculture publication. It is still popular today.21．Which person can be described as a rolling stone according to the proverb?A．A person who always changes his jobs.B．A person who has a successful career.C．A person who has no family.D．A person who is out of work.22．All of them are musicians except ________．A．Elvis PresleyB．Bob DylanC．Muddy WatersD．Jann Wenner23．Who first used “rolling stone”as a name for music?A．Jann Wenner.B．Bob Dylan.C．Elvis Presley.D．Muddy Waters.课时作业(二十二)Ⅰ.1.C句意：要不是这位医生的精心治疗，他不可能活到去年。

( A )When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a goo d student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? J anet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.I brought the list back t o Daddy. He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” hesaid.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll fin d it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments.

Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.3. Why did her father listen to her quietly?A. Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.B.

Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.4. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her“enemy” had said.B. He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.C.

When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship（奖学金）and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, “Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story”, shown in late April.Liz Murray, a 22-year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted（吸毒）parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling herteachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets.“What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,”she wrote in her book Breaking Night.She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that “next to nothing could hold me down”. She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS. “I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time.”Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is “a s simple as making a decision”.5．In which order did the following things happen to Liz?a. Her mother died of AIDS.b. She worked at a petrol station.c. She got admitted into Harvard.d. The movie about her life was put on.e. She had trouble finding a place to sleep.A. b, a, e, c, dB. a, b, c, e, dC. e, d, b, a, cD. b, e, a, d, c6. The main idea of the passage is ________.A. how Liz managed to enter Harvard UniversityB. what a hard time Liz had in her childhoodC. why Liz loved her parents so muchD. how Liz struggled to change her life7. What actually made her go towards her goal?A. Envy and encouragement.B. Willpower and determination.C. Decisions and understanding.D. Love and respect for her parents.8.When she wrote “What drove me to live on...I had only experienced a small part of the society”, she meant that ________.A. she had little experience of social lifeB. she could hardly understand the societyC. she would do something for her own lifeD. she needed to travel more around the world( C )Over many years, there has been an increase in the population of towns in many countries, as millions of people have moved from the villages in search of better jobs and facilities (设施),in the hope of getting a higher standard of living. This development has led to huge expansions of towns both upwards into the sky andoutwards into the surrounding countryside. In spite of all the efforts of governments and private businesses, many areas still suffer from a serious shortage of housing.Now, a new idea has been put forward which will utilize (利用vt.) areas which have no other obvious commercial potential (商业潜能). These are the ponds, small lakes, disused docks, and other areas of water, many of which can be found near, or even in the suburbs (郊区) of big towns.A new style of construction has been designed which will provide a house for less than half the cost of the normal building. The main saving is, of course, the land, because the new houses will float on water. There will be no need for foundations; instead the house will be built on a frame (框架)made of steel which is expected to cost about ￡5,000. Above this the builders will make a house with two, three, or four bedrooms and all the usual modern conveniences, as well as a roof garden. Each house will be joined to the main services supplying water, gas, and electricity and they will have a vacuum sewage disposal (真空污水处理)system. All the service links will have enough flexibility (灵活性) to allow for small differences in the water level caused by wet and dry periods of weather.The first houses to be built are expected to cost between ￡20,000 and ￡30,000 according to size and it is already clear that there is a very good potential market for the new system. As the cost is comparatively low, young people and common citizens would like to buy.9. So many people have moved into towns because ______.A. they enjoy the facilitiesB. they expect to live a better lifeC. they expect to get better jobsD. there is a shortage of jobs in villages10. What is the main advantage of the new idea?A. It will help relieve（缓解）the housing shortage.B. It will utilize disused areas of water.C. It will provide jobs.D. It will help the suburbs.11. The new houses will be built on _________.A. waterside areasB. a stone foundationC. lakes and riversD. a steel frame12. The price of the new houses will ________.A. encourage private and government buildersB. attract ordinary people in the towns to buyC. vary in different areas according to the policyD. help the housing market in the countryside( D )“It hurts me more than you,” and “This is for your own good.” These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy on us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students --- “so passive” --- and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re not training kids to work any more,” says Klompus. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who’ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying‘go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say ‘no’ to a kid.”Yes, it does. It takes energy and it tak es work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It’s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it’s for their own good. It’s time to start telling them ‘no’ again.13.Children are becoming more inactive in study because _______.A. they watch TV too oftenB. they have done too much homeworkC. they have too many dutiesD. teachers are too strict with them14.We learn from the passage that the author’s mother used to lay emphasis on____.A. learning LatinB. disciplineC. natural developmentD. education at school15. By “permissive period in education” , the author means a time ______.a) when children are allowed to do what they wish tob) when everything can be taught at schoolc) when every child can be educatedd) when children are permitted to receive education16. The main idea of the passage is that _______.a) parents should leave their children aloneb) kids should have more activities at schoolc) it’s time to be more strict with our kidsd) parents should always set a good example to their kids( E )This is time of year when we think about giving and receiving presents.

Youth Club and Night Shelter答案: BAACADBCBADBABACBCAA备战高考：阅读训练专题(2)（A ）My grandfather grew up in war-torn Europe. When German soldiers occupied his hometown ,the thriving city of Tarow, Poland, he refused to obey them and eventually joined the Soviet army to fight for his country’s freedom . “Stand straight, stand tall,” he told himself.After the war, in 1947, he boarded a boat for Manhattan. He was hungry and suffering from seasickness. All alone in a new country, he was frightened about his future .Still, he marched head-on into the hustle and bustle of the streets of New York . Soon he met other European immigrants, each of them trying to find his or her own way .If they could do it, why couldn’t he? “Stand straight, stand tall,” he would remind himself.Thanks to the help of a loyal and trusting friend, my grandfather gained a jewelry booth （店铺）on Canal Street, New York City .He once told me how nervous he was on that first day of work. He was not only trying to learn this tough new business, but also a new language.To his surprise, the men in neighboring booths—who could have taken advantage of him—offered their help and advice. Within months, my grandfather was commanding his spot behind the counter, selling diamonds and cultured pearls as if he’d been doing it his whole life.Stand straight and stand tall.In later years, my grandfather would take both my mother and her sister down the aisle at their weddings. As he stood with each of them, he thought about their new beginnings, and of the adventures and journeys they would experience together .He also thought about the children who would one day carry on his family name.I am so proud to be one of those children. Listening to my grandfather’s remarkable experiences has changed the way I view my own life.1．Which is the correct order of the things that happened in the passage?a. My grandfather took both my mother and her sister down the aisle at their weddings.b. World War II broke out in Europe.c. My grandfather went to America.d. My grandfather began to run his diamond business.e. The men in neighboring booths helped him.A．b, c, a ,d, e B．b, c, d ,e ,a C．b, c ,e , a ,d D．c, b ,e ,d ,a 2．Which is NOT true according to the passage?A．My grandfather was a soldier during World War II.B．My grandfather went to America by sea.C．My grandfather had been doing a jewelry business his whole life.D．My grandfather ran his business successfully.3．Grandpa probably inspired his grandchildren in time of trouble by saying “”.A．A friend in need is a friend indeedB．God help those who help themselvesC．Stand straight ,stand tallD．Practice makes perfect4．It can be concluded that .A．Grandpa never lost heart in time of hardshipsB．Grandpa never threw doubt upon his fateC．Grandpa was born to be a businessmanD．Grandpa didn’t live up to his friend’s expectations （答案：BCCA）( B )How Do Animals Catch Their ZZZ’s?Different creatures have developed some pretty creative ways to get their rest and stay safe. The lizard（蜥蝎）likes to sleep at the far end of small branches hanging out over a pond or lake in the rain forest. If a snake tries to slither up the branch to eat it, it will shake the branch and knock the lizard off ,and the lizard will fall safely into the water. Chameleons （变色龙）can change color to match their surroundings in order to hide even while sleeping.Corillas（大猩猩）like to sleep high in the trees. They build a new bed every night, sometimes taking up to half an hour to pile branches ,twigs ,and leaves into a comfortable bed .Birds also find it safe to sleep in the trees, but unless they have eggs or young chicks ,they don’t use a nest .They just lock their feet around abranch and hang on. A special tendon（腱）in their legs is automatically tight when they are at rest ,so they won’t let go and fall.Dolphins(海豚) live underwater ,but must come to the surface tobreathe .Scientists now believe that dolphins may sleep with only half their brain, while the other half stays awake to keep them safe and breathing. Seals (海豹) also do this，lying on their sides on the surface of the water with one flipper underwater paddling to keep their noses above the surface. Some ducks may also have this ability, and actually sleep with one eye closed and one eye open.5．How many animals are mentioned in this passage?A．6. B．7. C．8. D．9. 6．How does a chameleon protect itself while sleeping?A．By changing its body colors. B．By hinging out over a pond.C．By sleeping with half their brain.

B．They fall asleep automatically.C．They have a loose tendon in their legs D．They lock their feet around a branch.8．What does the writer intend to tell us?A．The cleverest animal is the gorilla because it can make beds.B．Differences in habitat could lead to different living habits.C．The ways animals catch their ZZZ’s are pretty much the same .D．In order to protect themselves most animals choose not to sleep. （答案：CADB)( C )But I wonder about my Momma sometimes, and all the other Negro(blacks )mothers who got up at 6 a.m. to go to the white man’s house with sacksover their shoes because it was so wet and cold. I wonder how they made it .They worked very hard for the man, they made his breakfast and they scrubbed his floors and they took care of his babies. They didn’t have too much time for us.I wonder about my Momma, who walked out of a white woman’s clean house at midnight and came back to her own where the lights had been out for threemonths ,and the pipes were frozen and the wind came in through the holes in the wall. She’d have to make deals with the rats: leave some food out for them so they wouldn’t bite the doors or the babies. The roaches（蟑螂）？Oh, they were just like part of the family!I wonder how she felt telling those white kids she took care of to brush their teeth after they ate, to wash their hands after they finish bathroom. She could never tell her own kids because there wasn’t soap or water back home.I wonder how my Momma felt when we came home from school with a list of vitamins and pills the school nurse said we had to have .Momma would cry all night , and then go out and spend most of the rent money for pills. A week later, the white man would come for his e ighteen dollars’ rent and Momma would beg him to wait until tomorrow. She had to lie to him that she had lost her wallet or the relief check was coming soon or the white people had some money for her. Tomorrow I’d be hiding in the closet (衣橱) because there were only supposed to be two kids in the flat ,and I could hear the rent man shout at my Momma and call her a cheat. And when he finally went away, Momma put the sacks on her shoes and went off to the rich white man’s house to dress the rich white kids so their mother could take them to a special baby doctor.9．Mother got up at 6 a.m. every day, because .A．she had to cook breakfast for her childrenB．she had to catch the first bus to the factoryC．she had to work in the white man’s houseD．she had to go to see a special baby doctor10．Mother never told us to brush our teeth or to wash our hands because .A．she though we didn’t need to B．we didn’t like washing handsC．we had done everything very well D．there was no soap or water in our home11．Why did the writer hide in a closet when the landowner came for rent?A．The closet could only hold two kids.B．Only two kids were allowed to live in the house.C．They should pay more rent for two kids.D．There was only one bedroom for the two kids.12．What does the writer mainly tell us?A．Black people lead a miserable life.B．Black people don’t have enough rent money.C．White people lead an expensive life.D．White people have special baby doctors. (答案：CDBA)( D )I recently spent two years in the Arctic (北冰洋) filming the series (系列节目) Blue Planet. I love being in an environment that hasn't changed for 20,000 years. Of course it's freezing, but it must be a healthy place because you never catch colds.When I'm filming, I like to really feel how lonely the environment is. Filming underwater involves (包括) cutting through thick ice and diving in tied to a line. The person at the other end has to be ready to pull you out fast if necessary.Originally I was a research diver for the British Antarctic Survey project, but for me science lacked excitement. I'd always enjoyed photography, and whenever camera teams passed through, they encouraged me to watch and learn. I was then able to move into filming in 1985 and have concentrated on（专门从事）Arctic and Antarctic wildlife ever since.I prefer to be faced with the animals I'm filming. I haven't got in the water with killer whales (鲸鱼) yet, but I plan to. Of course, it's dangerous if you choose the wrong moment. They're big animals and can move fast, so I'd be stupid to film them searching for food!I've never had problems with polar bears, although once I was frightened when one tried to get into my tent. Polar bears are bold( 勇敢), clever and dangerous. But I made this one see I wasn't about to attack it ---- I'm sure it realized I wouldn't hurt it.When I come home back from my trips, I work in the mornings and spend the afternoons swimming to keep fit. Now I'm fifty, filming is harder. The challenge for me is to continue to deliver (交付) high-quality work (作品).13. In this text, the writer is describing __________.A. the challenges of the environment he works inB. the beautiful scenery of the ArcticC. the career opportunities in TV camera work.D. the difficulties of having to work alone14. What does the writer say about his early career?A. He was bored by working only in Antarctic.B. It taught him how to become a skilled diver.C. He wasted the years he spent as a scientist.D. It provided him with a chance to learn about filming.15. When talking about killer whales, the writer says that __________.A. he has always been careful when diving with themB. he tries to avoid any danger by facing themC. he will only film them from a safe distanceD. he believes there are safe opportunities to film them16. How does the writer describe his experience with a polar bear?A. The writer realized he was wrong to trust polar bears.B. The writer felt nervous that the bear might come back.C. The bear seemed to know the writer wasn’t a danger.D. The animal was much more afraid than the writer was. (答案：ADDC)( E )People tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using e-mail. Researchers from Open University in Britain have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this.The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this question: If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be? The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers. Dr. Jo hnson said, “They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face. When the computers were fitted with (安装) cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation.”Generally the information was not extremely personal. It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences.Dr Johnson believes that e-mailing encourages people to focus on (专注于) themselves. And when they do this, they become more open, especially if there are no cameras. “If you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So e-mailing has become the modern way of talking,” said Dr. Johnson. However, this style of talking is not entirely new. “In the 19th century people started to use the ‘telegraph’ to communicate. Now the same kind of thing has happenedand people ended up speaking more freely.”Dr. Johnson thinks that e-mailers need to know about these effects of e-mailing, especially when they start work in a company. “If you don’t kno w about it, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to.”17. The subject discussed in this passage is _______.A. how people open up when emailingB. how people do research studiesC. how to communicate at workD. how to discuss and solvea problem18. The reason that some couples talked freely about themselves is that _______.A. they didn’t talk about very personal thingsB. they couldn’t see each otherC. the cameras on the computers were turned onD. they had to discuss a question19. What does the underlined sentence refer to?A. The telegraph.B. The computer.C. E-mailing.D. Face-to-face talk.20. In the writer’s o pinion, one should ______.A. focus on oneself when e-mailingB. talk more freely in e-mails than usualC. discuss any subject that one wants toD. consider how one uses e-mail at work (答案：ABCD)备战高考：阅读训练专题(3)( A )Pet owners are being encouraged to take their animals to work, a move ( 时尚) scientists say can be good for productivity (效率), workplace morale (士气), and the well-being of animals.A study found that 25% of Australian women would like to keep an office pet. Sue Chaseling of Petcare Information Service said the practice（做法）of keeping office pets was good both for the people and the pets. “On the pets’ side, they are not left on their own and won’t feel lonely and unhappy,” she said. A study of major US companies showed that 73% found office pets beneficial (有好处).Xarni Riggs has two cats walking around her Global Hair Salon in Paddington. “My customers love them. They are their favorites,” she said. “They are not troublesome. They know when to go and have a sleep in the sun.”Little black BJ has spent nearly all his two years “working” at Punch Gallery in Balrnain. Owner Lain Powell said he had had cats at the gallery for 15 years. “ BJ often lies in the shop window and people walking past tap (轻敲) on the glass,” he said.Ms Chaseling said cats were popular in service industries (服务行业) because they enabled a point of conversation. But she said owners had to make sure both their co-workers and the cats were comfortable.。

to know who dressed the elegant first lady.The reporter released the secret—Ma Ke.Peng Liyuan has been wearing Ma Ke’s designs for more thana decade，a fact that was only highlighted recently when she was on her first state visit，accompanying her husband President Xi Jinping.The elegant and attractive Peng，formerly a popular singer，has been compared with the US’ first lady Michelle Obama and France’s Carla Bruni­Sarkozy，since stepping off the airplane in Moscow on March 22.Suddenly，everyone was curious to know more about the first lady’s wardrobe.Even so，Ma prefers a low­key approach.“If you eat a tasty egg why would you want to see the hen？” she says of all the media attention.Ma’s relationship with Peng began 10 years ago after a concert in Guangzhou when a reporter told Peng she knew the designer behind the label Exception de Mixmind.Peng asked for an introduction because she was a fan of Ma’s designs and had been wearing them for years.The two naturally became friends.Ma says：“The painting reflects the painter，and clothes reflect both the designer and the wearer.Someone desires fame and wealth，or love and sympathy；what you have in your heart is reflected in the design.Those who don’t share my philosophy won’t buy my clothes.Peng is a caring person，devoted to charity and environmental protection，which is exactly what I’m doing now.”However，regardless of the brand，Peng’s support of Chinese labels has surprised millions of Chinese who favor foreign fashion brands.“Instead she presented a vision of Chinese fashion，desiring to bring Chinese designers to the world stage，” says a western designer.The first lady’s double­breasted coat and her black leather handbag aren’t available at any of Exception’s shops，though Exception’s physical stores do have seen a rising number of visitors.1．The passage mainly discusses________.A．the designer of the first lady Peng Liyuan’s dress，Ma KeB．the friendship between Peng Liyuan and her designerC．Peng Liyuan’s clothes on her first state visitD．the reactions to Peng Liyuan’s first visit to Moscow2．In the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 Ma Ke mentioned “an egg and the hen” to show________.A．it is hard to explain “Which came first，the egg or the hen？”B．paying such great attention to her was unnecessaryC．the outcome was more important than the processD．her dissatisfaction with the media attention on her dress3．What can be inferred from the passage?A．First ladies compete with each other whenever they are together.B．Peng’s suits can be bought in Ma Ke’s clothes stores.C．Ma Ke offered to design the first lady’s clothes through her friends.D．Peng had liked Ma’s designs long before she got to know her in the flesh.4．In the passage，Peng Liyuan________.A．often reflects on what she has in her heart before choosing clothesB．is sympathetic and has a strong environmental consciousnessC．always desires the exceptional charm of the brandD．is knowledgeable in philosophy5．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．Peng wears the dress designed by a Chinese designer probably to support Chinese brandsB．Many citizens found Peng Liyuan’s choice quite unexpected.C．Black leather handbags like Peng’s are widely sold in bag stores in big cities.D．After Peng Liyuan’s visit to Moscow Ma Ke’s clothes became more popular.课时作业(十六)Ⅰ.单项填空1．解析：考查交际用语。
