青岛市2019高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（6）（答案及解析）阅读理解Words：322难度系数：★★建议用时：8分钟In the summer of 1978 an English farmer was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered that some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground.The flattened wheat formed a circle about six meters across.Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat.The five circles were in a formation like five dots.During the following years，farmers in England found the strange circles in their fields more and more often.The circles are called“crop circles”because they appear in the fields of grain—usually wheat or corn.The grain in the circles lies flat on the ground but is never broken；it continues to grow，and farmers can later harvest it.Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning，so the circles probably form at night.They appear only in the months from May to September.At first，people thought that the circles were a hoax.Probably young people were making them as a joke，or farmers were making them to attract tourists.To prove that the circles were a hoax，people tried to make circles exactly like the ones that farmers had found.They couldn’t do it.They couldn’t enter a field of grain without leaving tracks，and they couldn’t flatten the grain without breaking it.Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles to communicate with us from far away and that the crop circles are messages from them.Scientists who have studied the crop circles suggested several possibilities.Some scientists say that a downward rush of wind leads to the formation of the circles—the same downward rush of air that s ometimes causes an airplane to crash.Other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear.There is one problem with all these scientific explanations：crop circles often appear in formations，like the five-dot formation.It is hard to believe that any natural force could form those.1．In the summer of 1978，an English farmer discovered in his field that ________.A．some of his wheat had been damagedB．some of his wheat had fallen onto the groundC．his grain was growing up in circlesD．his grain was moved into several circles解析：选B。

It’s about balancing calories in tiny ways that add up to big benefits. You just form some habits that lean people have. Stick with them, and you’ll become thin.1. Wake-upWhen your eyes open, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, bend forward until you feel a stretch in your back. Hold and then use your abs (腹部肌肉) to lower yourself flat. Rest and repeat two more times. It will burn about 10 calories.2. Start with soup⑥When you have meal, order a clear soup, and have it before having the main food. It can save twice the calories. Besides, you’ll feel fuller, so you’ll eat less when the main food comes.3. An apple (or more) a dayApples are packed with fiber（光纤） and water, so your stomach will want less.

青岛市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（1）（答案及解析）Words：343 难度系数：★★建议用时：8分钟Grown­ups know that people and objects are solid.At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air.But does a baby have this understanding?To see whether babies know objects are solid.Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion(视觉影像)of a hanging ball.His plan was to first to give babies a real ball, one they could be expected to show surprised in their faces and movements.All the 16 to 24­week­old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there.Grown­ups also have a sense of object permanence.We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back.But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never­never land?Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old.In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen.When 16­week­old and 22­week­old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to reappear.If the experiment took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train.This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence.But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case.The researcher substituted(替换) a ball for the train when it went behind the screen.The 22­week­old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train.But the 16­week­old babies did not seem to notice the switch(更换)．Thus，the 16­week­old babies seemed to have a sense of “something permanence，” while the 22­week­old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object.【解题导语】本文是一篇科普短文，大意是通过实验研究儿童是否知道物体是固体的，是否具有物体持久性的感觉，研究表明，16周到24周的婴儿都知道物体是有形的固体，然而第一项研究表明只有18周以上的婴儿才对某个特定的物体的认识具有持久性。

青岛市2019高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（11）（答案及解析）阅读理解Words：420难度系数：★★★建议用时：7分钟The discovery of an ancient giant panda skull has confirmed its bamboo diet dates back more than 2 million years and may have played a key part in its survival.A Chinese US research team reports its results today following studies on a fossil skull found in South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in 2019.The six fossils unearthed in Jinyin Cave are dated between 2.4 and 2 million years ago，according to the report in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences，an influential US journal.Jin Changzhu，of the Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS)and lead author of the paper，said the smaller fossil skull indicates the giant pandas were about a third smaller than today’s pandas. Researchers knew the panda reached its maximum size about 500,000 years ago，when it peaked，and then gradually became smaller.Jin，a paleontologist(古生物学者)at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology(古人类学)attached to the CAS，said the size variation was a basic rule of evolution.“A species tends to grow bigger when it reaches the peak of its population，but becomes smaller when numbers decline，”he said.The dental remains of the skull，which is the oldest giant panda skull ever found，are similar to today’s pandas’，indicating the type of teeth that could munch(用力嚼)mountains of bamboo.A panda can eat up to 40 kg of bamboo per day.Paleoanthropologist Russell Ciochon，the US co author at the University of Iowa，said the panda’s focus on bamboo could have helped it survive all these years.“Once an animal begins to rely on a common and stable food source，such as bamboo，it tends to evolve a larger body size，”he said.“As individuals of the evolving species grow bigger，they have a better chance not to be eaten by predators(肉食动物) due to their larger body size.”【解题导语】2019年在广西壮族自治区出土的一个大熊猫头骨化石证明，大熊猫在两百多万年前已经以竹子为主食，而且当时的大熊猫比如今的大熊猫小三分之一。

青岛市2019高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（18）（答案及解析）Words：327难度系数：★★★建议用时：9分钟When one thinks of the expansion of the American West，the event most likely to come to mind is the California Gold Rush of 1849.However，there remained wide land between the Pacific Coast and，say，St.Louis，Missouri.Why mentions.St.Louis? You might be asking.Because the young United States started exploring the vast land mass to the west from that very point and almost fifty years before those gold nuggets started hitting the pan in California.In 1803 President Thomas Jefferson sent a secret message to Congress calling for an expedition into the area west of the Mississippi River.He felt that a military man with some men could successfully chart the route.At that time France owned the territory and such an expedition would be considered invading.Then in July of the same year，Napoleon of France，in a surprise move，offered Louisiana to the United States for $15,000，000.America accepted and the United States grew by about one million square miles，from the Mississippi to the Rockies and from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada.Shortly before this news，Jefferson had handed his personal secretary，Meriweather Lewis his instructions for the expedition of the Missouri River.On May 14,1804，the Lewis and Clark Expedition started out from St.Louis in search of the Pacific Ocean.Two and a half years and 8,000 miles later the explorers returned to St.Louis and there’s a thunderous welcome from a grateful nation.Although the route never became widely used，it provided the impetus for the great western exploration movement.The search for America began.By 1848，when Mexico ceded its claim to all US territories to the north of its present-day border，t he United States had acquired the land westward from the Rockies to the Pacific Coast，north to the 49th parallel and south to the Rio Grande.This lawful possession convinced thousands of settlers to move westward in search of land.【解题导语】本文讲述了美国领土扩张过程中的几个重大事件。

青岛市2014高考英语完形填空、阅读理解训练题（4）及参考答案Simply by analyzing a drop of blood, a doctor will be able to diagnose a birth defect or even cancer when it is in the early stage; using new technology, a material lighter but much stronger than steel can be produced.These may sound like dreams at present. But the dreams may soon come true as research findings in laboratories are being turned into products more rapidly in the new century, according to experts participating in the fourth Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Technomart, a technology exhibition and trade fair in Suzhou."Most people think nano-technology （纳米技术）is too far-fetched to be real. But in factnano-technology has been applied in a wide range of fields, such as medicine. It is coming into our daily life," said Cheng Jiachong from a Hong Kong-based nano-technology firm. Nano-technology based on the nanometer, the unit of which is a billionth of a meter, enables scientists to have new concepts of disease diagnosis and treatment on a molecular （分子）and atomic scale, Cheng said.By using nanometer particles, a doctor can separate the fetus cells （胚胎细胞）from the blood of a pregnant woman to see if the development of the fetus is normal. This method is also being used in the early diagnosis of cancer and heart disease, he said.One of the most significant impacts of nano-technology is at the bio-inorganic materials interface, according to Greg Tegart, executive advisor of the APEC Center for Technology Foresight. "By combining enzymes （酶）and silicon chips we can produce biosensors. These could be implanted in humans or animals to monitor health and to deliver corrective doses （剂量）of drugs," he told the participants a technology forum during the exhibition. "Nano-technology could affect the production of nearly every man-made object, from automobiles, tires and computer circuits （电路）, to advanced medicines and tissue replacement, and lead to the invention of objects yet to be imagined," said David Minns, a special advisor to the National Research Council of Canada.It has been shown that carbon nano-tubes are ten times as strong as steel, with one sixth of the weight, and nano-scale systems have the potential to make supersonic transport cost- effective and to increase computer efficiency by millions of times, he said.The experts agreed that the APEC technology exhibition and trade fair provided many chances for exchanges of innovative ideas and products.45. Realization of the dreams mentioned in the first paragraph will mainly base on ________. A. APEC B. Chinese scientist C. the APEC Center for Technology Foresight D. Nano-technology 46. The length of a nanometer equals to ______. A. 910- meter B. 1010- meter C. 810- meter D. 710- meter47. We can imply from what David Minns said that _________. A. Nano-technology could only be used to invent new objects.B. Nano-technology could be widely used to produce or invent objects.C. Nano-technology is a money-consuming technology.D. Nano-technology can not be used to improve the service of Internet.48. Compared to steel, carbon nano-tubes are ________.

青岛市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（20）（答案及解析）You can not see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.1. You can see the book because_______.A. your eyes are close to itB. it reflects some of the sunlightC. it has light of its ownD. your eyesight can get to it2. The underlined word “luminous” means_______.A. visibleB. all colorsC. giving off lightD. sunlight3. ________ have light of their own.A. The sun and the moonB. The stars and the earthC. The sun and the starsD. The moon and the earth4. Which of the following is true?A. All the things you can see give off light.B. Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.C. The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.D. Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.(1—4 BCCC)【答案与解析】本文介绍了光的种类及其特征。
