综合练习—2023-2024学年高一英语外研版（2023）必修一、二册（含答案与解析）综合练习第一部分阅读理解第一节（共15小题）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AGrandparents Answer a CallAs a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama's mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to astudy by , 83 percent of the people say Mrs. Robinson's decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama's family."In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn't get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own" says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. "We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you're raising children."Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.1. Why was Garza's move a successA. It strengthened her family ties.B. It improved her living conditions.C. It enabled her to make more friends.D. It helped her know more new places.2. What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson's decisionA. 17% expressed their support for it.B. Few people responded sympathetically.C. 83% believed it had a bad influence.D. The majority thought it was a trend.3. What did Crosby say about people in the 1960sA. They were unsure of themselves.B. They were eager to raise more children.C. They wanted to live away from their parents.D. They had little respect for their grandparents.BDear Dad and Mom,The time has come—I'm graduating, and I thank you both for all your help during these 15 years. I still remember when you used to say, "You can be whatever you want." I'm so glad you are my parents, especially when I hear other kids say they don't get on well with theirs. I'm glad that you support me when I decide to do anything. You always try to help, and that's important to me.Dad, I remember when you first took me fishing. I loved going even though I never caught anything. I also remember when you would get angry with me. I realize you were only trying to show me the right way. When I cried, you would always be there to try to cheer me up. That's what I call a good, loving, caring dad. Sometimes you and Mom don't agree with me, but you are there on my side in anything that I do, and that's why I love you both so much.Mom, I enjoy going out with you and having our happy time every Friday night, and I hope that never changes. I love telling you everything andthe best part of you is that you listen. I'm glad we have a lot fun together. You always give me your opinion and I listen. Thank you for bringing me up.There may be many frustrations and setbacks on the road to the future, but the thought of your support and help fills my heart with strength. Dear Mom and Dad, I love you and I love our family. I hope and believe that we will be happy all the time.Love always,Alison1.

What makes Alison and her mother become good friendsA. Cheering up each other.B. Listening to each other and having fun together.C. Encouraging each other.D. Going out together.CAn 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house chatting with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window.The father asked his son, "What is that "The son replied, "That is a crow."After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, "What is this "The son said, "Father, I told you just now. It's a crow."After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, "What is this "This time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone, "It's a crow, a crow."After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, "What is this "This time the son shouted at his father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again I have told you already, 'IT IS A CROW. ' Are you unable to understand this "A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when acrow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn't feel angry at all, but instead felt affection for my son.If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. From today say this aloud, "I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered me with love. I will respect and take care of my old parents in the best way no matter how they behave. "1. The writer mainly intends to _____.A. tell us the function of a diaryB. call on us to love our parentsC. teach us what a crow isD. introduce a pair of son and father2. The underlined word "affection" probably means "_____ ".A. puzzlementB. hatred (仇恨)C. worryD. love3.

The old man brought out the diary, which he had kept since his son was born, because _____.A. he forgot what had happenedB. he would like his son to read itC. it could remind himself of the pastD. he wanted to find what a crow wasDThey were a happy family: four daughters all in the same school in different grades. The youngest, Janice, who was in my class, seemed to be glued (粘) to her mother's skirts. The three older girls took the bus to school every morning, but Janice was always driven to school by her mother.One Friday, Janice's mother asked for a chat with me. She said in a soft voice, "My husband is going to Europe on business for two weeks, and he insists that I go with him. I have tried to explain over and over that Janice needs me here. But he thinks that she will be fine without me so I have no option; I have to go. I have told the babysitter to drive her every morning. Will you please give Janice special attention and help her I want to be sure everything goes well for her."I told her that we would make every effort to support Janice. I even volunteered to meet Janice at her car so she would see a familiar face. As a mother myself, I'd like to help. Janice's mother thanked me for myunderstanding.On Monday morning, expecting a tearful, anxious child, I planned a special program of fun and games. I waited outside to greet Janice, but just then the bus arrived and not three, but four girls got off. Janice skipped along joyfully, saying "goodbye" to her sisters as she ran with two friends into the classroom. I walked slowly into the classroom and called Janice over to ask how the bus ride went. Impatiently she said, "Oh, I always want to take the bus with the other kids, but Mother needs to be with me. You see there won't be any more babies, so I have to be a baby a little longer. While she is away, I'll just ride the bus every day. I am five, you know."1. Why did Janice's mother want to have a talk with the authorA. To ask her to help Janice with her homework.B. To ask her to pick up Janice every day.C. To ask her to give Janice more attention.D. To ask her to meet Janice at her car.2. What did the author not do for JaniceA.

ASugar Hill Children's MuseumSugar Hill Children^ Museum of Art & Storytelling is open to the public on Saturday, October 3 with a FREE kickoff party that includes music, face painting and of course stories and art-making. The museum is designed to serve the youngest New Yorkers with a target audience of 3 to 8 years old. The 17,000-square-foot Sugar Hill Children^ Museum of Art & Stoiytelling is housed in the recently completed affordable and eye-catching housing complex （住房综合区）at die crossing of 155th Street and St. Nicholas Avenues. Designed by famous architect David Adjaye, the inside space provides a bright, airy feeling contrast to the building's strange outside.You won't find ball holes or water tables at this friendly museum, but plenty of fascinating art decorates the walls. And the art studio spaces and a storytelling lineup which has not yet been released will likely draw crowds. Small touches like hanging art low enough to attract a toddler, as well as its free admission for those 8 and under go a long way in achieving the museum A goal of making art more accessible to preschool and early-elementary aged kids.Where: The Sugar Hill Children A Museum of Art & Storytelling is located at 898 St. Nicholas Avenue, directly above the 155th Street C-train subway stop・ Cars are not the best choice regarding to the heavy traffic here・（Strollers （婴孩车）are allowed in the galleries or can be checked with coats upon arrival.）Hours: The museum will be open on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 5 pm during October. Public hours will be added on Thursdays and Fridays from 10 am to 5 pm in November. It is reserved for school visits from Monday to Wednesday.Cost: While Saturday^ event is FREE, regular admission prices will be $7 for adults and $4 for children aged 9-17; those aged 8 and younger are always FREE.1・ What's the purpose of building the museum?A.To serve a certain group of little kids.B.To satisfy the requirement of the local.C.To offer the young New Yorkers a free place to hold parties・D.To help the public leam about the development of ancient arl・2.From the third paragraph, we can leam that the museum _________ ・A.will quickly cover a large area of housingB.may increasingly attract people to gather togetherC・ may eventually provide more employment opportunitiesD. will gradually bring economic benefits to the local people3.When can preschool children visit the museum?A.On Thursdays and Fridays in October.B.On Saturdays and Sundays in Octobe匚C.On Tuesdays and Wednesdays in November.D・ On Mondays and Wednesdays in November.4.What is the best means of transportation to visit the museum?A.By bike.B. By car.C. By underground.D. By bus.BNot all awards are as noble as the Nobel Prize, which is world-famous for giving prizes to people who made progress in literature, science, economics and 一perhaps most importantly 一peace. Even though most countries have a system for recognizing, honoring and rewarding people who have done something good in their countries, there are now hundreds of awards and awards ceremonies for all kinds of things・The Oscars are probably the most famous, a time for the film industry to tell itself how good it is. The awards are not only for films 一Now there are also Grammies, Brits, the Mercury Prize and the MTV and Q awards for music .In Britain, a writer who wins the Booker prize can expect to see their difficult, literary novel hit the bestseller lists and compete with The Da Vinci Code for popularity. The Turner Prize is an award for a British contemporary artist — each year it causes controversy by apparently giving lots of money to artists who do things like displaying their beds, putting animals in glass cases or 一this year 一building a garden shed・Awards don't only exist for the arts. There are now awards for Sports Personality of the Year, for European Footballer of the Year and World Footballer of the Year. This seems very strange —sometimes awards can be good to give recognition to people who deserve it, or to help people who are on tight budget carry on their work without worrying about finances, but professional soccer players these days “re not shy of fund!Why have all these awards and ceremonies appeared recently? Shakespeare never won a prize, nor did Leonardo Da Vinci.Most awards ceremonies are now sponsored by big organizations or companies. This means that not only the person who wins the award benefits from it 一but also the sponsors. The MTV awards, for example, are great for publicizing not only music, but also MTV itself!On the surface, it seems to be a "wimwirf' situation, with everyone being happy, but let me ask you a question — how far do you think that publicity and marketing are winning here, and how much genuine recognition of achievement is taking place?5.What's the writer's attitude towards the Nobel Prize?A.Critical.B. Doubtful.C. Positive.D. Hopeful.6.Why does the writer write Paragraphs 2 and 3?A.To show the importance of giving awards to people・B.To show there are various awards・C.To tell us why so many awards appea匚D.To tell us how people win awards.7.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Don^t need to carry on their work・B.Arent as famous as other people・C.Aren't as important as other people・D.Don't lack money.8.Which of the following statements may the writer agree with?A.The win-win situation satisfies all people involved・B.Most awards today go to people who don't really need them.C.Awards should be given to people with financial problems.anizations that give awards take advantage of awards ceremonies, cLike the rest of their species, the Southern Hemisphere humpback whales typically prefer to remain single or gather in small groups that disperse （散开）quickly. However, since 2011, researchers from Cape Peninsula University of Technology in Cape Town have been observing a new phenomenon off the coast of South Africa. Professor Ken Findlay and his team reported seeing 22 cases of large groups of humpback whales on three different occasions in 2011,2014, and 2015.The researchers are puzzled not just by the unusual social behavior, but also by the fact that the U super-groups^ were seen in April and May. That's because the mammals typically spend these late summer months （in the Southern Hemisphere） feeding in the Antarctic waters before heading back to the warmer subtropical South African waters during winter, to breed and give birth. In a study published in the journal PLOS ONE on May 1, Findlay and his team outlined some of the possible reasons behind the big change in the mammals9 behavior.The researchers say that the cause of the recent sightings could be the abundant food available in the Benguela upwelling system. Located near the southwestern tip of South Africa between St. Helena Bay and Cape Point, the system of cold, nutrient-rich ocean cuiTents is rich in phytoplanktons and species of small fish that the humpback whales feed on, such as the mantis shrimp ・Another probable reason is the sudden increase in humpback whales' population. According to a recent scientific report, the mammals, population, off the coast of Australia, has reached nearly 90 perceni of pre-whaling numbers, while on the US East Coast, the number of whales is up 60 percent from its lows. All in all, experts estimate there are currently 150,000 humpback whales swimming in our oceans- They all need to feed・However, while the theories may explain the decision to skip migrating （迁徙）to Antarctic waters, the reason for the social super-groups remains a mystery. According to Findley, "It's possible that the behavior was occurring, but just not where it was visible （看得见的）.Because there were so few of them, we may not have seen it：9・ What is implied about the humpback whales in Paragraph 2?A.They no longer hunt for food in the Antarctic waters・B.They usually spend the whole winter in the Antarctic waters・C.They are rarely seen in South African waters during April and May.D.They^ve changed their social behavior to adjust to the warmer waters・10. According to Findley, why are the humpback whales seen in large groups now?A.Because they swim in populated areas now・B.Because their number has increased greatly.C.Because they need to work together to hunt for food.D.Because researchers pay closer attention to them now.11 • What does the passag e mainly talk about?A.Reasons for the number of humpback whales increasing so greatly.B.How humpback whales adapt themselves to the changing environment.C.Why humpback whales appear off the coast of South Africa in large groups. D・ Researchers'findings about a new whale species near the coast of South Africa. DLast Tuesday morning I stared across the table at a woman with severe scars lining her face・ Her angry husband carved those scars when she told him she wanted a divorce.Fm a member of the Rhode Island Parole Board. Month after month — for 13 years — Fve met with criminals and victims. Immediately before my colleagues and I conduct hearings for the criminals, we meet with their victims if they wish to tell us their stories.Every time I walk into those hearing rooms I retest my belief in justice・ I do my best to balance my concern for public safety and my faith that some criminals truly have regretted their deeds・ On hearing days, nearly always, the victims beg us to keep the prisoners behind bars. All morning long I hear their sufferings: murder, armed robbery, and domestic violence.The victims return to their lives and hours later I find myself face to face with the criminals. I settle in to hear what the prisoners have to say. Often their stories are filled with regret, hope and lots of promises.These face-to-face meetings force me to deal with what I really believe about peopled fundamental rights. Fm proud to be part of a system like ours 一as imperfect as it is.

课后阅读训练二Module 1Period 2Ⅰ. 阅读理解AIn the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment.In Mrs Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals(小数).Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.Mrs Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and walk toward the other end.Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.What I failed to expect was that several students were absent,which threw off my estimate. As Mrs Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.When Mrs Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I. . .

高一阅读专项练习AWhen I looked at the grade on my math paper my jaw (下巴) almost dropped to the ground: a big “65” in bright red ink. I had never received such a terrible grade before.I was so ashamed that when I got home that afternoon I lied to my dad.I tol d him I got 85 and that the report wouldn’t come until the end of the month. Dad smiled. His daughter would never lie about her grade, so he didn’t doubt the unusual delay (延迟) of my report.A month later, Dad casually (随意地) asked me again about the report at the dinner table. He looked right into my eyes and asked for an answer. Having no choice, I told him that I had in fact got just 65 in my math final. I had lied because I didn’t want to let him down.For a moment, he just looked at me. I would have preferred a telling off than that silence. Finally, Dad said, in a hurt voice, “You have already let me down, with your lie. I am not disappointed at your math score. That is no big deal – no one can be perfect all the time. But I am very disappointed in you. If you can’t be honest with your dad, who can you be honest with? It’s much easier to achieve a better grade than rebuild someone else’s trust in you.”Dad’s words touched my heart. I couldn’t forgive (原谅) myself for having hurt his feelings. I took out the report that I had been hiding for weeks, handed to him and apologized, sincerely. I realized that my honesty is not only important to me personally, but to those around me that truly care about my well-being (幸福).In one of Shakespeare’s plays a character says: “No legacy (遗产) is so rich as honesty.” After the crisis between Dad and me, I began to understand those words.1. The first paragraph may suggest that the author ______.A. was punished by her father for a bad gradeB. never expected teachers to give her bad gradesC. usually got a higher gradeD. was bad at math2. The author lied to her father because ______.A. she thought her father would believe her storyB. she didn’t want to let her father downC. her father wouldn’t get he r grade reportD. her father got angry whenever she got a poor grade3. Why did her father stay silent after his daughter told him that she had lied?A. He didn’t understand what his daughter had said.B. He was angry that his daughter lied to him again.C. He was unhappy with his daughter’s bad score.D. He was hurt that his daughter had lied to him.4. The purpose of the article is to tell us that ______.A. dishonesty may work sometimes, but there is a price to payB. sometimes a lie can make things easierC. we should study hard to make our parents happyD. we should accept the fact that we are not perfectBThere’s a line in Shakespeare’s Hamlet that sums up (总结) US teenager Samuel Vega’s story beautifully: “We know what we are, but know not what we may be.”When Vega was a sophomore (高中二年级学生) at Chicago’s Roberto Clemente High School, he was in top classes getting D grades.Though he had always been a strong reader, he hated reading.Words didn’t jump off the page. Instead, they lay there silent and lifeless. They didn’t speak to him.Vega was at school the day his English teacher invited students to audition (试镜) for the Chicago Shakespeare Theater program. Vega decided to audition for a part and was amazed when he won the lead role.“I was surprised by what I’d gotten myself into,” said Vega, who played Hamlet. “Professional actors [and a director] were training us.”During rehearsals (排练), the actors sat in a square and practiced their lines. Vega said that for the first time, the words –even those written in the 16th century – began to come alive for him.“I wanted to know what the words meant,” Vega said. “Shakespeare used all these big and difficult words and phrases to create characters, and you had to know what he meant – and own it – in order to understand how to play the character.” Though Vega had never acted before, the professional actors were impressed by the teenager’s natural talent.Soon, Vega started bringing a dictionary to rehearsals to help him understand his lines. He started carrying the dictionary wherever he went.Whether he was reading for history class or social studies, he used the same skills he had learned from reading Shakespeare. He said he tried to get into the heads of the people he was reading about, and he imagined himself as them.Reading helped him a great deal. His grades improved from Ds to Bs, along with some As.5. According to the article, Vega ______.A. was a slow reader before his performance in a Shakespeare’s playB. was invited by his teacher to perform the leading role in Shakespeare’s playC. became the top student in his class after that performing experienceD. had a desire to understand his role, which made him take reading seriously6. What can we learn from the article?A. Teenagers often have trouble finding their true identity.B. Teenagers often have to discover their potentials for themselves.C. Teenagers might find it difficult to decide about their future jobs.D. Teenagers meet too many difficulties on the path to adulthood nowadays.7. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A. Vega’s experience of performing in Hamlet improved his reading skills.B. Vega had never performed in a play before.C. Vega may have chosen acting as his career.D. Vega used to be fond of reading Shakespeare’s plays.CScientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays (紫外线) while skiing in snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach, according to a report by the UK newspaper the Telegraph.Researchers at Kanazawa Medical University, Japan and American company Johnson & Johnson conducted the study together. They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail (滑道) in Ishikawa Prefecture, northern Japan. They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japan’s Okinawa Prefecture.They found that on the beach, eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules (千焦耳) of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas.The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological Agency (日本气象厅). According to the agency, the reflection ratio (比率) of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent, compared to 80 percent in new snow areas. The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.UV rays harm the eyesMost of us know that UV rays can harm the skin. That’s why we wear sunscreen (防晒霜) before we go out in the sun. But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation (放射) over a short period of time, you may experience photokeratitis. Like a “sunburn of the eye”, photokeratitis is painful. Your eyes will become red and feel strange feeling. They may be sensitive to light. Fortunately, this is usually temporary (暂时的) and seldom causes permanent (永久的) damage to the eyes.Long-term exposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and research have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damage, which could lead to total blindness.It is never too late to begin p rotecting the eyes from the sun’s harmful rays. The following tips from the American Optometric Association (美国验光协会) can help prevent further eye damage:*Wear sunglasses any time your eyes are exposed to UV light, even on cloudy days and during winter months.*Choose gray-colored glasses. They reduce light without changing the color of objects.*Wearing a hat with a rim (帽沿) can also provide protection.8. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A. Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.B. Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesn’t harm themC. Too much eye exposure to UV rays may cause total blindness.D. You don’t have to protect your eyes from UV rays on cloudy days.9. According to the article, what do we know about the UV rays?A. The reflection ratio of UV rays changes a lot in Japan.B. The higher you stand, the more you will be exposed to UV rays.C. The level of UV rays is high during winter months.D. Sensitivity to light and tearing are common effects of daily UV rays exposure.10. You would most likely find the article in ______.A. a doctor’s diaryB. a travel journalC. a medical magazineD. a physics textbookDAt the center of New Zealand can be found its artistic community. Lying at the top northwest corner of South Island is the town of Nelson, New Zealand’s centre fo r arts and crafts (工艺).Named after England’s famous Admiral Horatio Nelson by the first English settlers, the city today is a paradise (天堂) for lovers of coffee and fine arts with its numerous galleries and street cafes. The city has nurtured (培养) its artists and today has a cosmopolitan (国际化的) arts community among its 50,000 residents.Artists are attracted by Nelson’s Victorian architecture and luminous (明亮的) light. Nelson gets over 2,500 sunshine hours per year, making it the country’s sunniest city. Along its high str eets can be found potters, sculptors, glassblowers, and dozens of wood carvers (雕刻师) using native New Zealand Southern beech (山毛榉).Art-lovers try to visit on Saturday mornings to catch the bustling (熙熙攘攘的) artisan and fresh produce market where olive oil and ceramics (陶器) are sold side by side. Among the city’s unique specialty shops is the goldsmith where the ring used in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy (三部曲) was designed.Each year Nelson celebrates its creative soul with the Nelson Arts Festival in October, which marks the beginning of the busy summer festival season.Highlights are the Adam New Zealand Festival of Chamber Music and the annual summer Jazz Festival. Not to be overshadowed by the music is the Suter International Film Festival, which screens 20 non-Hollywood films in late May to June every year. Also of note is the Nelson School of Music’s Winter Festival, held by New Zealand’s oldest music school,which plays over 150 music concerts each year.11.

Unit 1 A New Start单元话题阅读理解练习（2022秋·广西南宁·高一南宁市邕宁高级中学校考阶段练习）These next three years in senior high school may see many relationships coming to an end, a lot of drama between people, and especially a lot of stress (压力). During these next years, you’ll experience a lot, and hopefully, this advice could be of use to you.First of all, high school is not how the movies show it to be. There are no life-changing things that make you popular, and there are no big parties where teens enjoy themselves together and new friends are made. The reality is that you’ll stay up till three in the morning doing homework, the food in the school isn’t the best, and you will cry about everything.Just know walking through this next part of your life won’t be a simple walk in the park. You will go through difficulties, but at the end of the day, you’ll decide whether they’re going to influence you or not. While going through a difficult or unpleasant time, know that whatever happens these experiences don’t define (界定) you.These next moments will be happy, mad, sad, etc. There will be amazing good days, and awful bad ones. Be yourself because many comments will be made about you, your friends, your attitude (态度), and everything in your life. Aside from those people that cause drama, make bad comments about you, and hurt you, there are people who love you and want the best for you. Learning this will take time and you’ll be hurt, but you will be okay. So, in a word, a high school is a work in progress.High school only comes along once, so make the most of it because very quickly you’ll be shaking your principal’s (校长的) hand while they hand you your high school diploma (毕业证书).1．What does the author stress about high school life in paragraph 2?A．It has challenges ahead.B．It is full of competition.C．It is a time for making friends.D．It offers chances to win popularity.2．What helps high schoolers deal with troubles according to paragraph 3?A．Regular exercise.B．Enough patience.C．Right attitude to life.D．Support from school leaders.3．What does the author want to tell new high schoolers in paragraph 4?A．To avoid unfriendly people.B．To be prepared for what will happen.C．To work hard to make progress.D．To try to protect those who love them.4．Why does the author write the text?A．To share his failures with new high schoolers.B．To offer his suggestions to new high schoolers.C．To tell new high schoolers how he managed stress.D．To explain the importance of study to new high schoolers.（2023秋·湖北十堰·高一统考期末）Classroom Activities for StudentsThink, Pair and ShareTime—30 minutesDescription—You can create questions based on a particular topic taught in the class.

But for the children at Sudbury Valley School, Massachusetts, school is very different.Firstly, there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want to. There are no teachers—only “staff (员工) members”. The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn, because children want to learn anyway. “You do not need to say to a three-year-old, ‘Go to explore your environment.’ You can’t stop him or her!” says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day, they will lose all taste for learning and can’t realize their potential.”At Sudbury Valley School, you will permit children to talk, read, paint, cook, work on computers, study French, play the piano, climb trees, or just run around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!The other way in which Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each—even the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school budget (预算), and even which staff members they want and do not want any more.When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.11．What is the main topic of the article?A．Children’s hobbies.B．An unusual school.C．A school without rules.D．Education in the US.12．What does the school believe?A．Children learn best when they do what they want to do.B．Teachers cannot teach children well.C．Learning is for adults—children should only play.D．Children should only learn about one thing at a time.13．What does Daniel Greenberg say about three-year-olds?A．They are too young to learn anything.B．They are very naughty.C．They want to be outside all the time.D．They love learning.14．Which of the following is correct in the school meetings?A．The older children have more power than the younger children.B．A child has more power than an adult.C．Everybody has equal power.D．The younger children have more power than the older children.（2022秋·上海·高一校联考阶段练习）All Miss White had been told about the new boy was that he’d spent most of his life in some kind of orphanage, and that the gray-haired “aunt and uncle” with whom he now lived were really foster parents(养父母), paid by the Welfare Department of the City of New York. A less devoted teacher might have pressed for more details, but Miss White was content with the rough outline. It was enough to fill her with a sense of mission that shone from her eyes, from the first morning he joined the fourth grade.He arrived early and sat in the back row, his backbone very straight, his ankles crossed precisely under the desk and his hands folded on the center of its top, and while the other children were filling in, he received a long, expressionless stare from each of them.“We have a new classmate this morning,” Miss White said, “His name is Vincent Sabella, and he comes from New York City. I know we’ll all do our best to make him feel at home.”This time they all swung around to stare at once, which caused him to duck his head slightly and shift his weight from one side to the other. Ordinarily, the fact of someone’s coming from New York might have held a certain status, for to most of the children the city was a frightening, adult place that swallowed up their fathers every day. But anyone could see at a glance that Vincent Sabella had nothing to do with it. Even if you could ignore his twisted black hair and gray skin, his clothes would have given him away: ridiculously new pants, ridiculously old sports shoes and a yellow sweatshirt, much too small, with the faded remains of a Mickey Mouse design stamped on its chest.The girls decided that he wasn’t very nice and turned away, but the boys remained in their inspection, looking him up and down with faint smiles. This was the kind of kid they were accustomed to thinking of as “tough,” the kind whose stare has made all of them uncomfortable at one time or another in unfamiliar neighborhoods; here was a unique chance for revenge.15．What can you learn about Miss White and Vincent from the first two paragraphs?A．Since nobody had ever seen Vincent’s parents, he now lived all by himself.B．Miss White knew Vincent so well that she’d like to focus every bit of attention on him.C．Vincent sat in the back row so as to arouse attention caused by his late arrival.D．Miss White made an attempt to do her part to make Vincent feel welcome.16．Why does the author mention “New York” in the third and the fourth paragraphs?A．To state a certain distinction between Vincent and people’s imagination.B．To demonstrate children’s desire to go to see their fathers.C．To illustrate Vincent’s distant origin.D．To emphasize Vincent’s low social status from his shabby clothes.17．Which of the following words can best describe Vincent?A．Nervous and uneasy.B．Devoted but shy.C．Silent and genuine.D．Sensitive but unfortunate.18．What can you infer from the text about Vincent’s new classmates?A．They used to consider people like Vincent to be very tough.B．They were either unconcerned or unfriendly toward him.C．They barely noticed the new boy sitting in the back of the classroom.D．They were very curious about the newcomer in a kind and considerate manner.（2023春·内蒙古呼和浩特·高一统考阶段练习）After noticing that her eighth grade students had problems focusing during math class, a North Carolina teacher decided to channel (引导) their energy in a different way—cycling.It doesn’t sound like the most common thing to do during math class, but Bethany Lambeth, a teacher from Wake County, says that ever since she fixed cycling machines under her students’ desks, the quality of their work has improved greatly. They are paying more attention to what the teachers say, and, most importantly, they are no longer fidgeting all the time.“Before, they were drumming on their desks or touching other students. They don’t do that any more now. Their feet are getting the movement out,” she said. “There has been a huge increase in the quality of our students’work and a decrease in the amount of missing work. I think the world is changing a lot and kids need to be able to do something different.”Lambeth fixed the cycling machines at the end of last year, which cost around $150 each. The cost was covered by money from kind people. Not all desks have pedals (踏板) under them, so not all the children have to use one. The school is hoping to get more pedals because of the role cycling machines could play.The kids clearly love the new “toys”. Sofia Fedele, one of Lambeth’s students, said cycling helped her focus on her work during class. “I usually tap my feet and stuff to keep me focused, I think pedaling is much better, it keeps me exercising and focused,” she said.Quinn Spear, another student in Lambeth’s class, also mentioned the good effect on health of cycling during class. He told reporters that he had pedaled 5.5 miles and burned 133 calories, all before 10 a.m.19．What does the underlined word “fidgeting” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Keeping moving the body.B．Competing with each other.C．Doubling themselves.D．Laughing at others.20．Who paid for the cycling machines?A．The school.B．The students.C．Some companies.D．Some nice people.21．What does the author want to tell us by the examples in the last two paragraphs?A．The kids’ improvement in math.B．The kids’ love for the machines.C．The easy operation of pedaling.D．The importance of exercising.22．What is the text mainly about?A．The school helps students concentrate on class.B．A new way of exercising is becoming popular.C．How a machine changes students’ performance in class.D．How students in a North Carolina school have class.（2023春·广西来宾·高一象州县中学校考阶段练习）Students usually go to school from Monday to Friday. But some schools in the USA are getting shorter weeks. Classes go for four days instead of five.There are some reasons for this change. School leaders hope longer weekends may give teachers a good rest. And schools could spend less money on buses or electricity.But is a four-day school week better for students and parents?Some experts did research to find out the effects. They talked to people about the change. “Some people really like it,” said Christopher Doss, an expert. “Parents get to spend more time with their kids. And they think everyone can be less stressed and sleep more.”The experts didn’t just want opinions though. They looked at the data. “In fact, we could not find a lot of data to support the parents,” Doss said. Parents did spend more time with their kids. But the study didn’t find that they were less stressed.The experts also discovered a problem. “We found that kids probably learned a little less every year,” Doss said. “That can add up to a lot less.” So the question is while the change is welcomed, is it worth having kids learn less?Many students have their own ideas about the change. “I think weeks should be four days,” Chris said. “Every Sunday, I wish for just one more day to prepare for school.” Maya is more in the middle. “I don’t mind a four-day week, but I still like school,” she said. “The bad side is that Tuesday will feel like Monday!”Are you for a four-day week? Or are you OK with five?23．What are the reasons that some schools in the USA are getting shorter weeks?①To save money.①To give teachers a good rest.①To make parents less stressed.①To help kids get better prepared for school.A．①①B．①①C．①①D．①①24．What kind of data did the experts fail to find?A．Those to support students’ ideas.B．Those to support school leaders ‘ideas.C．Those to show parents were less stressed.D．Those to show parents spent more time with their children.25．What problem did the experts find about the four-day school week?A．Students learned less.B．Students had busier weekends.C．Parents had less time to care for their kids.D．Parents had to learn to teach their kids by themselves.26．In which part of a website can we read the text?A．Travel.B．Culture.C．History.D．Education.（2023春·江苏苏州·高一苏州中学校考阶段练习）Take a look inside a high school classroom. You will most likely find a teacher at the front of the class and students sitting at their desks. Yet, look closer, and you might notice a familiar scene: many of these students are not paying attention. Instead, they are dozing off (打盹)or even completely asleep.Today, the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time. They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to practices and meetings, and come home to be faced with even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours’ worth of homework each night.Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night in order to function properly. Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older. After puberty (青春期), the body’s internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p.m. So even if a student falls asleep at eleven, they would need to sleep until at least 8 am, to get a full night’s sleep. Considering the time at which most high schools in this country begin, those nine hours are clearly being shortened. Few high schools start after 8 a.m.However, there are schools that have paid attention to this research and pushed backward the start of their school day. In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class, and report lower levels of depression. The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day. 27．Which of the following would the author agree with?A．High school students must go to bed before 10 p.m.B．High schools should begin their school day at a later time.C．Most schools should push forward the start of their school day.D．Kids should shorten their sleep time gradually as they grow older.28．The second paragraph mainly discusses ________.A．why high school students should get more sleepB．what’s life like for college students at presentC．why high school students feel sleepy in the classroomD．how to lighten high school students’ homework load29．The underlined word “shifts” probably means “________”.A．arrives B．reduces C．increases D．changes30．How do the teachers probably feel about the results of pushing backward the start of their school day? A．Disappointed.B．Satisfied.C．Puzzled.D．Surprised.（2023秋·湖南郴州·高一郴州一中统考期末）Schools across Britain are being asked to take part in a research project known as Teensleep to stagger (错开) their start times to suit the different biological clocks ofchildren, with 10-year-olds starting at 9 am and 15-year-olds starting at 10 am. Scientists believe that the body’s circadian rhythm (生理节律), which determines sleep-wake patterns over 24-hour periods, varies with a child’s age and that an earlier school start time for all students is not in the best interests of older children. “The research project will sign up 100 schools as part of the biggest study yet into the role that school start times play in the health of students,” said Paul Kelley of the University of Oxford.“The natural change in the biological clock to later in the 24-hour cycle is particularly obvious in the 14 to 24 age group. The change in the biological clock continues in later middle age, when people usually go back to the naturally earlier start time they felt comfortable with when they were 10-year-old children,” Dr Kelley said.“By the time you are 18, 19 or 20 you are suffering on average two hours of sleep loss a day and that is increasing so that at the end of the week you have suffered 10 hours of sleep loss. It has a hugely damaging impact on the body,” Dr Kelley told the Seience Festival in Bradford.“Students lose more sleep than doctors working a 24-hour shift during every school or university week... Schools are starting at any time they choose. There is no justification and no study suggesting that starting earlier is better,” he said. “Most people wake up to alarms because they don’t naturally wake up at the time they go to work, so we are a sleep-deprived (睡眠不足) society and this age group, 14 to 24, is more deprived than any other group of society,” he added.31．What’s the aim of the research project?A．To determine the sleep hours of children.B．To suit the different biological clocks of children.C．To change the start times of the schools across Britain.D．To study the influence of school times on students’ health.32．Which of the following statements might Dr. Kelley agree with?A．24-year-olds start school the latest.B．The older students are, the later they start school.C．The change in the biological clock doesn’t happen in later middle age.D．An earlier start time suits both the later middle age group and 10-year-olds.33．What has a great bad influence on the body?A．Work on weekends.B．The pressure of study.C．More and more sleep loss.D．The earlier school start time.34．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Schools always start earlier.B．Students are most sleep-deprived.C．Students are more stressed than doctors. D．Sleep deprivation has become a worldwide problem.参考答案：1．A 2．C 3．B 4．B【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

选择性必修第一册Unit4阅读理解题组——练速度(35 mins)阅读理解A(2021·天津南开二模)My name is Jaimie Eckert and I've been into volunteer work since childhood.As a girl,I volunteered at animal shelters,played music at nursing homes,and helped with community cleanup after disasters.In college,I volunteered heavily at a large yearly conference for young adults,which is where I fell in love with my husband-to-be,who was on my team of co-volunteers.Since getting married in 2013,we've been living in Beirut,Lebanon.I actually have an online coaching business but I've had many opportunities to volunteer with projects for Syrian refugees(难民) and youth education.Volunteering has been a way of life for me for a very long time,and I wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it.Most of the time,you do feel that you're making a difference.Once I was leading out a project that provided food boxes to Syrian refugee families.When it was nearing a big holiday season in Islam,I literally stuffed the food package with extra treats...dates,nuts,olive oil and sweets.We took the package unannounced and ended up arriving just as the Syrian family was sitting down on their floor for breakfast.They had nothing more than a few pieces of bread and a pot of tea.The mother was in tears as she received us.I'll never forget their gratitude.Another time,back when I was in college in the US,a group of friends and I volunteered to drive to a distant building that was way out in the suburb and had only a few elderly members.The building was in disrepair and the yard needed attention.We stayed the weekend in the home of one of these old ladies so we could clean and repair the building.I'll never forget how new life sparkled in her eyes.She couldn't repair broken doors or pull weeds,but her love for us was unmatched.It breaks my heart to remember this old lady beaming with joy for such small efforts that we made.Sometimes,volunteer work is fulfilling not because of the actual job you get done,but because of how your presence impacts the people around you.Volunteering makes me a better person because it gets me outside of myself.It puts my focus on others.It makes me grateful for what I have.1.In Paragraph 1,the author aims to .A.provide an explanationB.introduce a topicC.reach a conclusionD.propose a definition2.What does Paragraph 2 focus on?A.They brought food to Syrian families.B.There is an important holiday season in Islam.C.Volunteering affects people in some way.D.Volunteering is a way of Eckert's life.3.Why was the old lady happy?A.Because finally someone came to comfort them in the building.B.Because she could clean and repair the building with the volunteers.C.Because of the volunteers' presence and help.D.Because the volunteers made efforts to entertain her.4.What message does the story convey?A.Eckert's volunteer dream.B.What volunteering means to Eckert.C.How volunteering has changed Eckert's life.D.Eckert volunteers for Syrian refugees.5.What is the author's attitude towards volunteering?A.Critical.B.Objective.C.Indifferent.D.Positive.B(2020·天津卷)“They tell me that you'd like to make a statue(塑像) of me—is that correct,Miss Vinnie Ream?”The deep,gentle voice helped calm the nervous girl.Asking a favor of the President of the United States was no casual matter,especially for a seventeen-year-old girl.“Yes,sir,”she replied,her dark eyes meeting his.“I wouldn't have dared to ask you,but my teacher,ls,says I am ready.I plan to make it in an admirable manner.”President Lincoln smiled.“Painters,sculptors—they've all tried to make the best of this ordinary face,but I'm afraid there's not much hope.What did you have in mind,Miss Ream?A bust(半身像)?”Before Vinnie could say yes,the President hurried on,a shade of apology in his voice.“Of course—I shouldn't have asked.A full-length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman your size.”Vinnie's face turned red.She realized she looked like a child,with her tiny figure.“Small does not mean weak,sir,”she defended herself.“I was born in the country of Wisconsin.I've driven teams of horses and carried water.Making a full-length clay(黏土) figure would not exhaust my strength—and that is what I intend to do!”The President's eyes brightened at her show of spirit.“Sorry,madam,I have underestimated you as I didn't know your background.”But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers,in thought.“Miss Ream,”he sighed,“I'd like to let you do it,but as you know,we are in the middle of a war.How could I possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now?I hardly have a minute to myself.”Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office.“I work quickly,”she said.Her voice was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows.“If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hours every afternoon,I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk.”The President seemed to consider her idea seriously.He got up and shook Vinnie's hand warmly,“I've heard that you are a talented young woman,and I have found you charming and intelligent as well.I cannot make my decision immediately,but you will hear from me soon.”The very next day,Vinnie received an invitation from the President.6.What gave Vinnie confidence to make her request of President Lincoln?A.Her aggressive personality.ls's encouraging remark.C.President Lincoln's gentle voice.D.Her interest in a challenging job.7.How did President Lincoln first respond to Vinnie's request?A.Pleased.B.Thrilled.C.Regretful.D.Doubtful.8.Vinnie confirmed her ability to make a full-length statue by highlighting .A.her experience from other projectsB.her innocent childhood in the countryC.the heavy labor she had done beforeD.the skill she picked up in Wisconsin9.Vinnie wanted to choose the corner near the windows to .A.achieve effects of natural lightingB.keep all her tools within easy reachC.observe the President at a right angleD.avoid disturbing the President's work10.What message does the story convey?A.A strong-willed soul can reach his goal.B.Experience helps to promote excellence.C.Ups and downs make one strong.D.Devotion requires enthusiasm.C(2021·天津河西二模)The damage that aging does to a body extends all the way down to the cellular level.But the damage increased by cells in older muscles is especially severe,because the cells do not reproduce easily and they become weaker as their mitochondria(线粒体),which produce energy,reduce in energy and number.A study,however,suggests that certain sorts of exercise may remove some of what time can do to our mitochondria.Exercise is good for people,as everyone knows.But scientists have surprisingly little understanding of its cellular impacts and how those might vary by activity and the age of the exerciser.So researchers recently conducted an experiment on the cells of 72 healthy but sedentary(久坐的) men and women whowere 30 or younger or older than 64.After baseline measures were established for their aerobic(有氧的) fitness,their blood sugar levels and the gene activity and mitochondrial health in their muscle cells,the volunteers were randomly assigned to a particular exercise program.Some of them did weight training several times a week;some did interval training three times a week on exercise bicycles; some rode exercise bikes at an appropriate pace for 30 minutes a few times a week and lifted weights lightly on other days.A fourth group,the control,did not exercise.After 12 weeks,the lab tests were repeated.In general,everyone experienced improvements in fitness and an ability to regulate blood sugar.But more unexpected results were found in the biopsied(活组织检查) muscle cells.Among the younger subjects who went through interval training,the activity levels had changed in 274genes,compared with 170 genes for those who exercised more appropriately and 74 for the weight lifters.Among the older group,almost 400 genes were working differently now,compared with 33 for the weight lifters and only 19 for the appropriate exercisers.It seems exercise could help contain the decline in the cellular health of muscles associated with aging,especially if it was intense,says Dr.Sreekumaran Nair,the study's senior author.In fact,older people's cells responded in some ways more strongly to intense exercise than the cells of the young did—suggesting,he says,that it is never too late to benefit from exercise.11.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Exercise Might Benefit Aging MusclesB.Exercise Might Increase Aging MusclesC.Exercise Might Do Harm to MitochondriaD.Aging Mainly Occurs in the Cellular Level12.What can we know about the experiment mentioned in Paragraph 2?A.Volunteers cannot be good at exercising.B.All volunteers must have the same baseline.C.It was carried out among the youth of different sexes.D.Volunteers received a random particular exercise program.13.How does the author develop Paragraph 3?A.By analyzing every group's different data.B.By comparing every group's training time.C.By listing every group's different training.D.By describing every group's training results.14.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A.The experiment did not get expected results.B.Riding exercise bikes has no influence on the volunteers.C.Weight lifting is the most useful training among these exercises.D.Interval training brings stronger influence to the elder than to the youth.15.Which can replace the underlined word “contain”?A.Change.B.Stop.C.Record.D.Cause.DPeople who have got rhythm might have an advantage when it comes to language and reading skills.A new study shows the brains of people who can move to a musical beat react to speech on a more consistent basis than those who can't.Researchers also find that musical training can sharpen the brain's response to language.The researchers say their discovery provides the first biological link between the ability to keep a beat and how the brain responds to speech,something that can have important value for reading skills.To gather materials for their research,the team got more than 100 teenagers who lived in Chicago,Illinois.The teens were given two tests.First,they were instructed to listen to and tap their fingers along to the beat.The researchers calculated how accurately their young volunteers were able to tap along to the musical timekeeper.Second,the teen subjects were linked to an EEG device,which measures electrical activity in the brain.The EEG device was focused on an area of the brain that not only processes sound,but is also connected to parts of the brain responsible for motor-movement.The researchers recorded the brainwaves as their teen subjects listened to the synthesized speech sound,which was repeated irregularly for half an hour.The researchers were able to find out how the nerve cells in that particular region of the brain responded every time the synthesized sound was played.“Across this population of adolescents,the moreaccurate they were at tapping along to the beat,the more consistent their brains' response to the letter unit was,” said Nina Kraus.While past studies have showed the links between reading skills and a person's ability to keep a beat,the researchers said their new findings show the hearing system is what provides a common basis for those links.“Rhythm is naturally a part of music and language,” Nina said.16.According to the first paragraph,what can get the brain's reaction to language more effectively?A.Rhythm.B.Reading skills.nguage.D.Musical training.17.What can we learn about “ the first biological link” mentioned in Paragraph 2?A.It shows how the brain works.B.It is very important for reading ability.C.It shows how the brain reacts to speech.D.It is helpful to researchers' findings.18.The underlined word “subjects” in Paragraph 2 probably means “”.A.persons or animals that are studied in an experiment or a researchB.areas of knowledge studied in a school,college,and so onC.things that are being discussed in a conversation or a bookD.persons or things that are the main features of works of art19.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A.reading skills may make language learners keep a beatB.the hearing system may be useless while a person is learning to readC.the hearing system may separate sound from meaning while a person is readingD.the hearing system may be used while a person is reading or taking musical training20.What can we conclude from this passage?A.Moving to a musical beat is more popular.B.Experts are expanding their studies on rhythm.C.Rhythm might help us improve our reading skills.D.Experts find the links between the hearing system and

高一阅读专项练习AWhen I looked at the grade on my math paper my jaw (下巴) almost dropped to the ground: a big “65” in bright red ink. I had never received such a terrible grade before.I was so ashamed that when I got home that afternoon I lied to my dad.I told him I got 85 and that the report wouldn’t come until the end of the month. Dad smiled. His daughter would never lie about her grade, so he didn’t doubt the unusual delay (延迟) of my report.A month later, Dad casually (随意地) asked me again about the report at the dinner table. He looked right into my eyes and asked for an answer. Having no choice, I told him that I had in fact got just 65 in my math final. I had lied because I did n’t want to let him down.For a moment, he just looked at me. I would have preferred a telling off than that silence. Finally, Dad said, in a hurt voice, “You have already let me down, with your lie. I am not disappointed at your math score. That is no big deal – no one can be perfect all the time. But I am very disappointed in you. If you can’t be honest with your dad, who can you be honest with It’s much easier to achieve a better grade than rebuild someone else’s trust in you.”Dad’s words touched my heart. I couldn’t forgive (原谅) myself for having hurt his feelings. I took out the report that I had been hiding for weeks, handed to him and apologized, sincerely. I realized that my honesty is not only important to me personally, but to those around me that truly care about my well-being (幸福).In one of Shakespeare’s plays a character says: “No legacy (遗产) is so rich as honesty.” After the crisis between Dad and me, I began to understand those words.1. The first paragraph may suggest that the author ______.A. was punished by her father for a bad gradeB. never expected teachers to give her bad gradesC. usually got a higher gradeD. was bad at math2.

Instead, they lay there silent and lifeless. They didn’t speak to him.Vega was at school the day his English teacher invited students to audition (试镜) for the Chicago Shakespeare Theater program. Vega decided to audition for a part and was amazed when he won the lead role.“I was surprised by what I’d gotten myself into,” said Vega, who played Hamlet. “Professional actors [and a director] were training us.”During rehearsals (排练), the actors sat in a square and practiced their lines. Vega said that for the first time, the words –even those written in the 16th century – began to come alive for him.“I wanted to know what the words meant,” Vega said. “Shakespeare used all these big and difficult words and phrases to create characters, and you had to know what he meant – and own it – in order to understand how to play the character.” Though Vega had never acted before, the professional actors were impressed by the teenager’s natural talent.Soon, Vega started bringing a dictionary to rehearsals to help him understand his lines. He started carrying the dictionary wherever he went.Whether he was reading for history class or social studies, he used the same skills he had learned from reading Shakespeare. He said he tried to get into the heads of the people he was reading about, and he imagined himself as them.Reading helped him a great deal. His grades improved from Ds to Bs, along with some As.5.

Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article？A. Vega’s experience of performing in Hamlet improved his reading skills.B. Vega had never performed in a play before.C. Vega may have chosen acting as his career.D. Vega used to be fond of reading Shakespeare’s plays.CScientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays (紫外线) while skiing in snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach, according to a report by the UK newspaper the Telegraph.Researchers at Kanazawa Medical University, Japan and American company Johnson & Johnson conducted the study together. They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail (滑道) in IshikawaPrefecture, northern Japan. They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japan’s Okinawa Prefecture.They found that on the beach, eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules (千焦耳) of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas.The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological Agency (日本气象厅). According to the agency, the reflection ratio (比率) of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent, compared to 80 percent in new snow areas. The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.UV rays harm the eyesMost of us know that UV rays can harm the skin. That’s why we wear sunscreen (防晒霜) before we go out in the sun. But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation (放射) over a short period of time, you may experience photokeratitis. Like a “sunburn of the eye”, photokeratitis is painful. Your eyes will become red and feel strange feeling. They may be sensitive to light. Fortunately, this is usually temporary (暂时的) and seldom causes permanent (永久的) damage to the eyes.Long-term exposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and research have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damage, which could lead to total blindness.It is never too late to begin protecting the eyes from the sun’s harmful rays. The following tips from the American Optometric Association (美国验光协会) can help prevent further eye damage:*Wear sunglasses any time your eyes are exposed to UV light, even on cloudy days and during winter months.*Choose gray-colored glasses. They reduce light without changing the color of objects.*Wearing a hat with a rim (帽沿) can also provide protection.8. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article？A. Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.B. Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesn’t harm themC. Too much eye exposure to UV rays may cause total blindness.D. You don’t have to protect your eyes from UV rays on cloudy days.9. According to the article, what do we know about the UV rays？A. The reflection ratio of UV rays changes a lot in Japan.B. The higher you stand, the more you will be exposed to UV rays.C. The level of UV rays is high during winter months.D. Sensitivity to light and tearing are common effects of daily UV rays exposure.10. You would most likely find the article in ______.A. a doctor’s diaryB. a travel journalC. a medical magazineD. a physics textbookDAt the center of New Zealand can be found its artistic community.

I’ve been friendswith Jill since I was three or so，and I really like Jaime，a friend in kindergarten. “Well，what about Karen and Cindy？” She seems upset，like I hurt her feelings. “But they’re my sisters.” “Yes，but they can still be your best friends. Friends may come and go，but your sisters will always be there for you.”At the time，the idea of my two sisters being my closest friends seemed strange to me. We fought all the time over toys，food and attention. How could my sisters be my best friends？They weren’t the same age as I. We all had our own friends in school. But my mother never let the three of us forget it：Sisters are lifelong friends. Her wish was to give us something that she never had. Growing up an only child，she longed for siblings (兄弟姐妹). When she gave birth to three daughters，the fulfillment of her dream had only just begun. She’d given us each a gift and she wanted to make sure we did not take that gift for granted. She’d frequently tell us how lucky we were. She never showed favoritism to one daughter over the other. And when we were teenagers，Mom always punished us equally.We didn’t always get along beautifully and fought just like any other siblings. But we realized that our mother was right. Today I share things with my sisters that I do with no one else. My sister Cindy and I ran the New York City Marathon together，side-by-side，even holding hands when we crossed the finish line. When my sister Karen got married，I was her maid of honor. The three of us trust each other with our greatest secrets.It was twenty-three years ago that my mother first asked me who my two best friends were. Today she doesn’t have to. She already knows.1.

What her mother did for her.C. The love of her mother for her daughters.D. Both of her sisters.。
