阅读理解（时文报道类+说理议论类）完形填空（记叙文）Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·甘肃天水甘谷二中一模)Men are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity(名人) chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver，according to a report from Oxford University.The effect of the celebrity role models，who have given cooking a more manly picture，has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961.According to the research by Prof.Jonatahn Gershuny，who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford，men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking，up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.Prof.Gershuny said，“The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend.There has been 40 years of sexual equality，but there is another 40 years probably to come.”Women，who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking，now spend just one hour and seven minutes—a great fall，but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.Some experts have nam ed these men in aprons as “Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”，who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife bythe success of Ramsay，Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley­Whittingstall，Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd.“I was married in 1974.When my father came to visit me a few weeks later，I was wearing an apron when I opened the door.He laughed，” said Prof.Gershuny.“That would never happen now.”Two­thirds of adults say that they come together t o share at least three times a week，even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table.Prof.Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a table—with many “family meals” in fact taken on the s ofa in the sitting room，and shared by family members.“The family meal has changed a lot，and few of us eat—as I did when I was a child—at least two meals a day together as a family.But it has survived in a different format.”1.What is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before?A.The development of sexual equality campaign.B.The influence of popular female chefs.C.The change of female’s view on cooking.D.The improvement of cooks’ status.2.What does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking?A.Men spend more time cooking than women nowadays.B.It will take 40 years before men spend more time at the stove than women.C.Women spend much less time on cooking than before.D.There is a sharp decline in the time men spend on cooking compared with 1961.3.How did Prof.Gershuny see the family meal according to the passage?A.It has become a thing of the past.B.It is very different from what it used to be.C.It shouldn’t be advocated in modern times.D.It is beneficial to the stability of the family.4.Which is the best title for the passage?A.The Changes of Family MealsB.Equality Between Men and WomenC.Cooking—a Thing of the Past for WomenD.Cooking into a New Trend for MenB(2018·河北故城高级中学期中)At heart，parents always wish the best for their children，and they work hard for that.Nowadays，we see parents deciding the schools for their little ones before the babies are even born.Once kids start going to school，some parents want to have a time­to­time update(最新的情况) of their kids’ activities.They want to come to their classroom every day，keep an eye on whom they talk to，know the friends they keep，start telling them how to do their jobs，and keep talking to them about everything under the sun.Besides，they send their kids to extra hobby classes，as they want their children to do best in every field.When it comes to the education，super mum and dad have all the plans made for their children，and I am sure that they have come up with the best.So，try to fight for the dreams that your parents have seen for you.However，in some cases，it may happen that the kids have some different dreams.Parents sometimes don’t even consider the choices of their kids and may force them to do what they wanted to do in life.It’s good to plan the future for the children，but leave at least some decisions to them.So what should the children do？First，hear out all the plans that your parents have made for you.If you have some different ideas，then sit down and talk to your family about it.Be patient and respect their decisions，but put your plan forth，and make them understand what you want to do and why.Many times，you don’t know the difficulties that you may have to face while pursuing your dreams.Ask your parents for suggestions，which will make them feel good and involved.That way，they may support you if you are going on the right path.5.The parents described in Paragraph 1 .A.have a good understanding of their childrenB.worry a lot about their childrenC.take part in activities with their childrenD.expect too much from their children6.About educational plans，the writer advises .A.children to do as they are toldB.children not to listen to their parentsC.children to communicate with their parentsD.children not to follow their parents’ suggestion s7.The underlined word “pursuing” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “”.A.going afterB.planning foring toD.preparing for8.What’s the writer’s attitude towards these super parents’ behaviors?A.He is against them.B.He is doubtful of them.C.He doesn’t care about them.D.He supports them.Ⅱ.完形填空(2018·山东滨州期中)During the month I spent studying in England last summer，one day stood out.I was only 16 and I was loose on the streets of London.The freedom was wonderful， 9 for

阅读理解（时文报道类+说理议论类）完形填空（记叙文）Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·山东烟台期中)A second­grade education has not stopped garbage collector Jose from bringing the gift of reading to thousands of Colombian children.Jose started rescuing books from the trash almost 20 years ago.He was driving a garbage truck at night through the country’s wealthier neighborhoods.The discarded reading material slowly piled up，and now the ground floor of his small house is a temporary library from floor to ceiling with some 20,000 books.They range from chemistry textbooks to children’s classics.He says books are luxuries for boys and girls in low­income neighborhoods such as his.New reading material at bookstores is too expensive.There are 19 public libraries in Bogota，a city of 8.5 million people.But they tend to be located far away from poorer areas.“This should be in all neighborhoods，on each corner of every neighborhood，in all the towns，in all departments，and all the rural areas，”says Jose.“Books are our salvation and that is what Colombia needs.”The 53­year­old Jose has a love of reading he attributes to his mother.She always read to him even though she was too poor to keep him in school.“She used to read me stories every night，”said Jose.He has traveled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to share his experience of starting a library with thrown­away reading material.“To me，books are the greatest invention and the best thing that can happen to a human being.”While Jose still examine the rubbish for additions to his library，his fame as Colombia’s “Lord of the Books” has also brought him thousands of donated books.He has sent many to other libraries around the country.That is because he doesn’t have room for them all.He says he doesn’t reject technology that allows books to be read digitally.But he prefers to read the printed word on paper.“There’s nothing more beautiful than having a book in your pocket，in your bag or inside your car，” he says.1.What do we know about Jose’s library?A.It contains 20,000 books or so.B.It is located in the center of Bogota.C.Its books are all collected from the donation.D.It will be rebuilt to hold more books.2.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.The reason why Jose started a library.B.The poor life that the local children live.C.The location of the public libraries.D.The dream the children in Bogota have.3.From the passage，we can know that .A.Jose hated books to be read digitallyB.his dream is to become a book collectorC.Jose received a good education at his early ageD.Jose’s mother developed his love of readingB(2018·河南周口中英文学校月考) There are two types of people in the world.Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life，one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy.This arises from the different ways in which they consider things，persons，events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things：the pleasant parts of conversation，the well prepared dishes，the goodness of the wine and the fine weather.They enjoy all the cheerful things.Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.Therefore，they are continually dissatisfied.By their remarks，they sour the pleasure of society，offend(hurt) many people，and make themselves disagreeable everywhere.If this turn of mind was founded in nature，such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied.The intention of criticizing(批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿).It grows into a habit，unknown to its possessors.The habit may be strong，but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes.I hope this little warning may be of service to them，and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination，it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck.Those people offend many others; nobody loves them，and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect.This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments.If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune，nobody wishes them success.Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes.If they bring on themselves public objections，no one will defend or excuse them，and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings.These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing，without worrying needlessly about themselves and others.If they do not，it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them.Otherwise，it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient，especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.。

阅读理解（时文报道类+说理议论类）完形填空（记叙文）Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·广东佛山顺德区教学质量检测) Growing up can sometimes seem like a roller coaster.There are ups and downs and unexpected turns.Abuse or neglect by an adult can make the ride even rougher.But being bullied(欺凌) by another child can leave especially lasting scars.That’s the finding of a new study.Bullied kids face a high risk of mental health problems as teens and as young adults.Indeed bullied kids might be worse off than those who had suffered physical abuse or neglect，the study found.Dieter Wolke works at the University of Warwick in England.Until recently，most studies of child victims focused not on bullying but on maltreatment，this psychologist says.Maltreatment includes physical or emotional abuse，neglect or other behaviors that can harm a child.Wolke’s team wanted to better understand how bullying’s long­term effects compare to those due to maltreatment.They focused on 4,026 children in the United Kingdom and 1,420 more in the United rmation about bullying and maltreatment was collected for American children to age 13.They collected the same information for British youth up to age 16.The researchers also gathered data on each individual’s mental health as a young adult.Among the Americans,36 percent of bullied kids had mental problems later.Those problems included anxiety，which is a state of excessive worry.They also included depression.That is a feeling of hopelessness that can last a long time.Among kids who had been maltreated by adults,17 percent later suffered mental health problems.That was less than half the rate seen in people who had been bullied as school kids.In the U.K.group，the difference was less spectacular.Roughly 25 percent of the bullied kids reported mental health problems later，compared with about 17 percent who had been maltreated.But however you look at it，the finding are disturbing，Wolke says.They show that bullied children have similar or worse mental health problems later in life.And that’s why he says schools，health services and other agencies must work together to end bullying.1.According to the passage，which of the statements is TRUE?A.Kids treated cruelly recover soon after they grow up.B.All bullied kids have mental health problems.C.Most kids with maltreatment experience tend to become violent adults.D.Most studies didn’t pay much attention to bullying until recently.2.How does the author support the theme of the text?A.By providing research results.B.By stating arguments.C.By explaining statistical data.D.By giving examples.3.The underlined word “spectacular” in Paragraph 6 could be best replaced by “”.A.slightB.dramaticC.specificD.similar4.According to the text，what does Wolke suggest doing?A.Taking good care of children.B.Joining hands to stop bullying.C.Keeping psychologically healthy.paring different types of abuse.B(2018·甘肃兰州一中期中)Have you ever imagined traveling to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language?In a recent Wall Street Journal article，technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that，within a decade or so，we’ll be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with built­in microphones.That’s because technological progress is extremely rapid.It’s only a matter of time.Indeed，some parents firmly hold the idea that this technology is approaching and they’re wondering if their kids should even learn a second language.It’s true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them c leverer at translating “No es bueno dormir mucho” as “It’s not good to sleep too much.” Replacing a word with its equivalent(同义词) in the target language is actually the “easy part” of a translator’s job.But even this seems to be a discouraging task for com puters.It’s so difficult for computers because translation doesn’t—or shouldn’t—involve simply translating words，sentences or paragraphs.Rather，it’s about translating meaning.And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression，humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression：volume，gesture，situation，and even your culture.All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.Therefore，we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us.If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it，how can we expect a machine to do better？Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer，undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language，a machine will never fully take our place.5.What view does the author hold about translation?A.Proper translation can be tough for humans.B.Slight differences matter little in translation.C.Some machines will interpret our world properly.D.Cultures deserve more attention than words used.6.What is the best title for the text?A.An Expert’s Precise PredictionB.The Complexity of TranslationC.Who Will Be a Better TranslatorD.Will Language Barrier Actually Disappear?7.What is the author’s attitude to the modern technology?A.Unclear.B.Objective.C.Optimistic.D.Negative.8.In which column can you read the article in a newspaper?nguage Learning.ments on hot issues.C.Science Development.D.Translation tips.Ⅱ.完形填空(2018·江西南昌二中联考)Be a Traveler，not a TouristLast summer，I had just enough money saved to buy a golden ticket—a 3­month train pass that would take me to the furthest

marketing campaigns that have shaped sneaker culture over the past two centuries.You cannot overestimate the cultural importance of a pair of sneakers.At least that’s the conclusion from a new exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum in the US.The sneaker is regarded both as a cultural force and a fashion statement.“Early sneakers were actually status symbols，”said Elizabeth Semmelheck，senior leader of Bata Shoe Museum.Displaying over 150 shoes，the exhibit covers a wide range of examples and will last about three months.From their modest origins in the mid­nineteen th century to high­end sneakers created in the past decade，sneakers have become a global obsession(痴迷).Included are works from makers such Adidas，Converse，Nike，Puma，and Reebok as well as private collectors such as hip­hop legend Darryl “DMC” McDaniel’s，and Dee Wells of Obsessive Sneaker Disorder.Also featured are sneakers by Prada and other major fashion design houses and designers，as well as those made in cooperation with artists including Damien Hirst and Shantell Martin.After Brooklyn，the collection will head to Toledo，Ohio and Louisville，Kentucky.Sneakers are one of the few things people will line up for days to buy.They’re the subject of songs，and have helped make billionaires out of athletes and fashion designers.Sneakers are a cultural phenomenon，and perhaps an alien(外星人)visiting our planet could learn

science under a law that threatens research into the history of humans in Britain，a group of leading archaeologists(考古学家) says.In a letter addressed to the justice secretary，Ken Clarke,40 archaeologists write of their “deep and widespread concern” about the issue.It centers on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to be reburied within two years，regardless of their age.The decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance.“Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied，whether after a standard period of two years or further special extension，is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice，”they write.The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites，including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3000 BC.Archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time，but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground.The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh in Norfolk，where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950,000 years ago.If human remains were found at Happisburgh，they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was.Under the current practice of the law those remains wouldhave to be reburied and effectively destroyed.Before 2008，guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest，while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains.The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary，but has so far failed to revise it.Mike Parker Pearson，an archaeologist at Sheffield University，said：“Archaeologists hav e been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem，but we feel that we cannot wait any longer.”The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied，or on what records should be kept.5.According to the passage，scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because .A.it is only a temporary measure on the human remainsB.it was introduced by the government without their knowledgeC.it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific researchD.it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains6.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time.B.Human remains of the oldest species were dug out at Happisburgh.C.Scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed.D.Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time.7.What can be inferred about the British law governing human remains?A.The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law.B.The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857.C.The law on human remains hasn’t changed in recent decades.D.The Ministry of Justice did not intend it to protect human remains.8.What is the main idea of the passage?A.New discoveries should be reburied，the government demands.w could bury ancient secrets for ever，archaeologists warn.w on human remains needs thorough discussion，authorities say.D.Research time should be extended，scientists require.Ⅱ.完形填空(2018·广东阳江阳春一中月考)Colonel Harland

Oxford University.The effect of the celebrity role models，who have given cooking a more manly picture，has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961.According to the research by Prof.Jonatahn Gershuny，who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford，men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking，up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.Prof.Gershuny said，“The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend.There has been 40 years of sexual equality，but there is another 40 years probably to come.”Women，who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking，now spend just one hour and seven minutes—a great fall，but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.Some experts have nam ed these men in aprons as “Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”，who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife bythe success of Ramsay，Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley­Whittingstall，Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd.“I was married in 1974.When my father came to visit me a few weeks later，I was wearing an apron when I opened the door.He laughed，” said Prof.Gershuny.“That would never happen now.”Two­thirds of adults say that they come together t o share at least three times a week，even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table.Prof.Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a table—with many “family meals” in fact taken on the s ofa in the sitting room，and shared by family members.“The family meal has changed a lot，and few of us eat—as I did when I was a child—at least two meals a day together as a family.But it has survived in a different format.”1.What is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before?A.The development of sexual equality campaign.B.The influence of popular female chefs.C.The change of female’s view on cooking.D.The improvement of cooks’ status.2.What does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking?A.Men spend more time cooking than women nowadays.B.It will take 40 years before men spend more time at the stove than women.C.Women spend much less time on cooking than before.D.There is a sharp decline in the time men spend on cooking compared with 1961.3.How did Prof.Gershuny see the family meal according to the passage?A.It has become a thing of the past.B.It is very different from what it used to be.C.It shouldn’t be advocated in modern times.D.It is beneficial to the stability of the family.4.Which is the best title for the passage?A.The Changes of Family MealsB.Equality Between Men and WomenC.Cooking—a Thing of the Past for WomenD.Cooking into a New Trend for MenB(2018·河北故城高级中学期中)At heart，parents always wish the best for their children，and they work hard for that.Nowadays，we see parents deciding the schools for their little ones before the babies are even born.Once kids start going to school，some parents want to have a time­to­time update(最新的情况) of their kids’ activities.They want to come to their classroom every day，keep an eye on whom they talk to，know the friends they keep，start telling them how to do their jobs，and keep talking to them about everything under the sun.Besides，they send their kids to extra hobby classes，as they want their children to do best in every field.When it comes to the education，super mum and dad have all the plans made for their children，and I am sure that they have come up with the best.So，try to fight for the dreams that your parents have seen for you.However，in some cases，it may happen that the kids have some different dreams.Parents sometimes don’t even consider the choices of their kids and may force them to do what they wanted to do in life.It’s good to plan the future for the children，but leave at least some decisions to them.So what should the children do？First，hear out all the plans that your parents have made for you.If you have some different ideas，then sit down and talk to your family about it.Be patient and respect their decisions，but put your plan forth，and make them understand what you want to do and why.Many times，you don’t know the difficulties that you may have to face while pursuing your dreams.Ask your parents for suggestions，which will make them feel good and involved.That way，they may support you if you are going on the right path.5.The parents described in Paragraph 1 .A.have a good understanding of their childrenB.worry a lot about their childrenC.take part in activities with their childrenD.expect too much from their children6.About educational plans，the writer advises .A.children to do as they are toldB.children not

阅读理解（时文报道类+说理议论类）完形填空（记叙文）Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·天津南开中学月考)For grown­ups，an afternoon snooze(打盹) is often easier said than done.But many of us have probably experienced just how simple it can be to catch some sleep in a gently rocking hammock(吊床).By examining brain waves in sleeping adults，researchers reported in the June 21 issue of Current Biology，a Cell Press publication，that they now have evidence to explain why that is.“It is a common belief that rocking causes sleep：we fall asleep in a rocking chair soon and，since ancient times，we cradle our babies to sleep，” said Sophie Schwartz of the University of Geneva.“Yet，how this works had remained a mystery.The goal of our study was made up of two parts：to test whether rocking does indeed improve sleep，and to under stand how this might work at the brain level.”Schwartz，Michel Mühlethaler，and their colleagues Laurence Bayer and Irina Constantinescu asked twelve adult volunteers to nap on a custom­made bed or “experimental hammock” that could either remain still or ro ck gently.All participants were good sleepers who didn’t typically nap and did not suffer from excessive sleepiness during the day.Each participant took two 45­minute afternoon naps，one with the bed still and one with the bed in motion，while their brain activity was monitored.“We observed a faster transition to sleep in each and every subject in the swinging condition，” Mühlethaler said.“Surprisingly，we also observed a dramatic boosting of certain types of sleep­related brain waves.”More specifically，rocking increased the length of stage N2 sleep，a form of non­rapid eye movement sleep that normally occupies about half of a good night’s sleep.The rocking bed also had a lasting effect on brain activity，increasing slow brain waves and bursts of activity known as sleep spindles(纺锤体).Schwartz and Mühlethaler say the next step is to find out whether rocking can improve longer periods of sleep and to find out whether it may be useful for the treatment of sleep disorders，such as insomnia(失眠).1.What does the June 21 issue of Current Biology tell us according to Paragraph 1?A.It is more difficult for grown­ups to fall asleep.B.People today like to sleep in a rocking hammock.C.Many people nowadays suffer from excessive sleepiness.D.There comes the evidence to exp lain why rocking benefits people’s sleep.2.What can we learn from Sophie Schwartz’s words?A.Her team aimed to answer two questions.B.The study is going to benefit babies a lot.C.The study had been kept secret before being finished.D.People used to believe rocking was bad for sleep.3.What finding was beyond the researchers’ expectation?A.The rocking seemed to improve participants’ sleep quality.B.All the participants fell asleep faster in the swinging condition.C.Some participants couldn’t fall asle ep in the swinging condition.D.Participants had a tendency to sleep excessively in the swinging bed.4.A suitable title for this passage would probably be .A.Take a Snooze.Easier Said than DoneB.Want a Faster Sleep？Change Your Sleeping HabitsC.Need a Nap？Find Yourself a HammockD.Suffer from Sleep Disorder？New Treatment FoundB(2018·河南周口中英文学校月考)It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams，the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life，but manners on the road are becoming horrible.Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage，but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.Road politeness is not only good manners，but good sense too.It takes the most cool­headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand，a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic condition.But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough.Many drivers nowada ys don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However，misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.Typical examples are thedriver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.An experienced driver，whose manners are faultless，told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.Unfortunately，m odern drivers can’t even learn to drive，let alone master the roadmanship.Years ago，experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give­and­take from all road users.It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.5.According to the passage，troubles on the road are often caused by .A.road conditionsB.the behavior of the driversC.the speed of modern lifeD.the large number of cars6.In the writer’s opinion， .A.unskillful drivers should be punishedB.strict traffic rules are badly neededC.drivers should

一轮复习最新高考英语阅读理解专题练习(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Have you ever imagined what it would be like to see the world through an animal's eyes? For example, what a chimpanzee sees as it sits at the top of a tree, or a penguin's view as it dives into the sea to catch its dinner?These questions are answered in the nature documentary Animals with Cameras, produced by the BBC. The three-part series was first aired in the UK last month. To explore animal stories "told" by the animals themselves, the documentary's filmmakers worked with scientists to develop cameras that wild animals could wear."Never before have we seen such high-quality footage (连续镜头)directly from the animal's point of view, " BBC Nature executive producer Fred Kaufman told PBS." This miniseries greatly expands our comprehension of animal behavior and this camera technology opens up new possibilities for discovering so much more."Indeed, the groundbreaking technology provides a new viewpoint of the animal kingdom. New cameras with enough battery life to shoot for hours at a time were designed to be comfortable enough for animals to wear, according to the documentary's camera designer Chris Watts.The technical challenges didn't stop there. Some animals were very curious about the equipment, with some even fighting each other for the chance to wear a camera. In the case of chimpanzees, "we had to create dummy (仿造的)cameras, so that every chimpanzee could get one", the miniseries' wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan told Live Science.For animals that were comfortable enough to be with human beings, the cameras could be fitted and removed by hand. But for others, the cameras came off automatically using a timed release and were collected afterward. This meant that the cameras needed to be as tough as possible.To avoid disturbing the animals, scientists who were good at dealing with wildlife came to help by putting the cameras on the animals." The last thing we want to do is cause them distress." the documentary's producer Dan Rees told the BBC. "To follow an animal in the first place, there had to be a clear benefit in terms of knowledge about it that might be useful to protecting a species in the future.Their efforts certainly paid off. " Footage that captures (捕捉)these rare and exciting glimpses of animals bidden habits is important to scientists, but documentaries like Animals with Cameras also resonate with (引起共鸣)audiences, connecting them with the beauty - and danger - of wildlife in their natural environments," Live Science noted.（1）According to the text, Animals with Cameras .A.is a documentary made by wildlife expertsB.presents high-quality footage of animals for the first timeC.shows wildlife from the unique viewpoint of animalsD.mainly records the life of chimpanzees and penguins（2）The case of chimpanzees is used to .A.reflect the weakness of the camera technologyB.present how filmmakers put cameras on chimpanzeesC.explain why chimpanzees were attracted by the equipmentD.show how filmmakers dealt with the challenges in shooting（3）To avoid disturbing the animals, filmmakers .A.set up a protected area for them to live inB.invited scientists to help equip them with camerasC.made the cameras look like animals in disguiseD.fitted and removed the cameras by hand（4）The author's attitude toward the documentary can be described as .A.changingB.supportiveC.cautiousD.pessimistic【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）B（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了研究人员使用最新的相机技术，让人们从动物的视角看世界。

阅读理解（时文报道类+说理议论类）完形填空（记叙文）Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·广东佛山顺德区教学质量检测)Growing up can sometimes seem like a roller coaster.There are ups and downs and unexpected turns.Abuse or neglect by an adult can make the ride even rougher.But being bullied(欺凌) by another child c an leave especially lasting scars.That’s the finding of a new study.Bullied kids face a high risk of mental health problems as teens and as young adults.Indeed bullied kids might be worse off than those who had suffered physical abuse or neglect，the study found.Dieter Wolke works at the University of Warwick in England.Until recently，most studies of child victims focused not on bullying but on maltreatment，this psychologist says.Maltreatment includes physical or emotional abuse，neglect or other behaviors that can harm a child.Wolke’s team wanted to better understand how bullying’s long­term effects compare to those due to maltreatment.They focused on 4,026 children in the United Kingdom and 1,420 more in the United rmation about bullying and maltreatment was collected for American children to age 13.They collected the same information for British youth up to age 16.The researchers also gathered data on each individual’s mental health as a young adult.Among the Americans,36 percent of bullied kids had mental problems later.Those problems included anxiety，which is a state of excessive worry.They also included depression.That is a feeling of hopelessness that can last a long time.Among kids who had been maltreated by adults,17 percent later suffered mental health problems.That was less than half the rate seen in people who had been bullied as school kids.In the U.K.group，the difference was less spectacular.Roughly 25 percent of the bullied kids reported mental health problems later，compared with about 17 percent who had been maltreated.But however you look at it，the finding are disturbing，Wolke says.They show that bullied children have similar or worse mental health problems later in life.Andthat’s why he says schools，health services and other agencies must work together to end bullying.1.According to the passage，which of the statements is TRUE?A.Kids treated cruelly recover soon after they grow up.B.All bullied kids have mental health problems.C.Most kids with maltreatment experience tend to become violent adults.D.Most studies didn’t pay much attention to bullying until recently.2.How does the author support the theme of the text?A.By providing research results.B.By stating arguments.C.By explaining statistical data.D.By giving examples.3.The underlined word “spectacular” in Paragraph 6 could be best replaced by “”.A.slightB.dramaticC.specificD.similar4.According to the text，what does Wolke suggest doing?A.Taking good care of children.B.Joining hands to stop bullying.C.Keeping psychologically healthy.paring different types of abuse.B(2018·甘肃兰州一中期中)Have you ever imagined traveling to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language?In a recent Wall Street Journal article，technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that，within a decade or so，we’ll be able to communicate with one another via sm all earpieces with built­in microphones.That’s because technological progress is extremely rapid.It’s only a matter of time.Indeed，some parents firmly hold the idea that this technology is approaching and they’re wondering if their kids should even learn a second language.It’s true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating “No es bueno dormir mucho” as “It’s not good to sleep too much.” Replacing a word with its equivalent(同义词)in the target language is actually the “easy part” of a translator’s job.But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.It’s so difficult for computers because translation doesn’t—or shouldn’t—involve simply translating words，sentences or paragraphs.Rather，it’s about translating meaning.And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression，humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression：volume，gesture，situation，and even your culture.All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.Therefore，we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us.If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it，how can we expect a machine to do better？Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer，undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language，a machine will never fully take our place.5.What view does the author hold about translation?A.Proper translation can be tough for humans.B.Slight differences matter little in translation.C.Some machines will interpret our world properly.D.Cultures deserve more attention than words used.6.What is the best title for the text?A.An Expert’s Precise PredictionB.The Complexity of TranslationC.Who Will Be a Better TranslatorD.Will Language Barrier Actually Disappear?7.What is the author’s attitude to the modern technology?A.Unclear.B.Objective.C.Optimistic.D.Negative.8.In which column can you read the article in a newspaper?nguage Learning.ments on hot issues.C.Science Development.D.Translation

A“You may go to prison，or you may go to Camp Green Lake．” the judge said. Stanley Yelnats was given a choice．He was from a poor family and had never been to camp before．So，Stanley Yelnats seems set to serve an easy sentence，which is only fair because he is as innocent as you or me．But Stanley is not going where he thinks he is．Camp Green Lake is like no other camp anywhere．It is a place that has no lake and nothing green．Nor is it a camp，at least not the kind of camp kids look forward to in the summertime．It is only a desert wasteland，dotted with countless holes dug by the boys who live at the camp．The trouble started when Stanley was accused of stealing a pair of shoes donated by basketball great Clyde “Sweetfeet” Livingston to a celebrity auction(名流拍卖会)．In court，thejudge doesn’t believe Stanley’s explanation that the shoes fell from the sky onto his head．And yet，that’s exactly what happened．Strangely, though，Stanley doesn’t blame the judge for falsely convicting(宣告有罪)him．Instead，he blames the whole thing on his “no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather．”Thanks to this distant relative，the Yelnats family had been cursed(诅咒)for generations．For Stanley, his current troubles are just a natural part of being a Yelnats．At Camp Green Lake，the warden(看守)makes the boys “build character” by spending all day, every day, digging holes：five feet wide and five feet deep．It doesn’t take long for Stanley to realize there’s more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake．The boys are digging holes because the warden is searching for something，and before long Stanley begins his own search—for the truth．Fate is to find a solution to it all—the family curse，the mystery of the holes．The great wheel of justice has ground slowly for generations，but now it is about to reveal its verdict(裁决)．1．Stanley Yelnats went to Camp Green Lake to__________________.A．enjoy the summertime B．show his innocenceC．Serve his sentence D．make a choice2．We can learn from the passage that Stanley__________________.A．stole the shoes for his relative B．got the shoes by accidentC．donated the shoes to an auction D．blamed the judge for the sentence3．In fact，the warden made the boys dig holes to________________.A．kill the time B．build characterC．break the family curse D．look for something4．In which section of a newspaper does this passage probably appear?A．Law．B．Geography．C．News．D．Literature．本文讲述一位少年被冤枉偷了足球明星的球鞋而来到绿湖少年管教所，终日挖洞，发现一个巨大的秘密1.C 推断题。
