语鹅市安置阳光实验学校高考第二轮复习英语山东版专题升级训练十六阅读理解(五)第一节阅读理解AGrace Kane hangs onto an Olympic dream of clinging to a granite(花岗岩)wall by her fingertips 70 feet from the ground.The fearless girl is only 10，but already has scaled great heights in the sport of rock climbing.Last week，Kane won a bronze in the 11 and younger sport class at the USA Climbing Youth National Championships in Atlanta.She was the only competitor of the 31 there with no climbing coach or topflight facilities in which to train.Climbing will become an exhibition at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics in Brazil.The hope of enthusiasts is that the sport will gain full status in 2020.“I'm already training for that，” said Kane.“Climbing is my passion，my love，and I want to make something of it.”Her dad took her to climb rocks on her fourth birthday for the first time and today he can't keep up with her.“It's the freedom to let loose，” she said.“When I'm up there，I'm so focused and don't hear anything.I always feel comforted knowing people are supporti ng me.”The bronze in Atlanta qualified Kane for the USA team and November's International Championships in Ecuador.That's a trip she might have to miss because it's too expensive.Kane held a backyard music concert—she played the guitar and the piano and wrote inspirational songs—and raised $600 for her $1,500 trip to Atlanta.She's also been sponsored by a shoe company，but must rely heavily on donations from family and friends for travel expenses.Her mom Heather Kane said the family has chosen “to do what ever we need to help her achieve her goals”．One of Grace's biggest challenges is finding balance in her life.There's school，her music and church to fit around climbing.“Climbing is going to mean sacrificing things other kids might pursue，” Grace said.“But it doesn't bother me.It's like playing the piano；you can't take a break or you'll lose your touch.”1．What would be the best title of the passage?A．Rock Climbing Gains PopularityB．Grace Kane Likes ChallengesC．A Young Climber Follows Her DreamD．An Amazing Victory for a Young Rock Climber2．We can learn from the second paragraph that rock climbing ______. A．is not an exhibition at the Olympics nowB．is an official event at the Olympics nowC．is not open to childrenD．will gain full status in 20203．Which of the following is TRUE about Grace Kane?A．She is only interested in rock climbing.B．She is a girl with many talents.C．Rock climbing has affected her study.D．She has won gold medals in several matches.4．One of Grace's biggest challenges is to ______.A．find a capable coach for herB．get qualified for the USA teamC．raise enough money for International competitionsD．keep balance between rock climbing and other activities 5．What do we know about Grace Kane's parents?A．They are quite concerned about her studies.B．They regretted allowing her to try rock climbing.C．They will fully support their daughter's pursuit.D．They can fully afford her expenses in her competitions.B(2012山东桓台二中月考，D)“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move，” said David Belle，the founder of parkour(跑酷)．Do you love running？It is a good exercise，yet many people find it boring.But what if making your morning jog a creative one？Like jumping from walls and over gaps，and ground rolls？Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale？Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill(窗台)and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way.It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.Yes，that's parkour，an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible，getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body.Parkour is considered an extreme sport.As its participants dash around a city，they may jump over fences，run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds，but its participants see parkour much more than that.Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念)behind parkour.This is the same as life.You must determine your destination，go straight，jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life，to reach the destination successfully.A parkour lover said，“I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life，my way to do everything.”Another philosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom.It can be done by anyone，at any time，anywhere in the world.It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.6．Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of ______.A．its founder，David Belle B．the film，Casino RoyaleC．its risks and tricks D．the varieties of participants 7．The underlined word “obstacles” in Para graph 2 is closest in meaning to “______”．A．streets B．objectsC．barriers D．roofs8．Which of the following is true of parkour?A．It challenges human abilities. B．It is a good but boring sport.C．It needs special training. D．It is a team sport.9．As its participants move around a city，______.A．they can ask for help B．they may choose to escapeC．they should run to extremes D．they must learn to survive 10．Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour?A．Sports and extremes. B．Excitement and popularity.C．Dreams and success. D．Determination and freedom.CSchools are almost all connected to the Internet.But some have more technology，and use it more，than others.For example，some schools use computers for activities like video conferencing，to bring the world into the classroom.And some classrooms are equipped with things like a Smart Board，a kind of interactive whiteboard.Interactive whiteboards are large displays for presentations.They connect to a computer and can operateby touch.They can be used for documents or writing or to project video.Some teachers are trying creative new ways to teach with devices like iPods and mobile phones.But educators say the most important thing，as always，is the content.Yet technology can have special importance in some cases.Cosmobot is a therapy(治疗)robot.It stands about half a meter tall and has a blue body and a friendly face with big eyes.One child who works with it is six­year­old Kevin Fitzgerald.Kevin has developmental dyspraxia；he has difficulty moving his mouth and tongue.He works with Carole Semango­Sprouse as he interacts with the Cosmobot during therapy for his condition.Here，he uses a set of buttons attached to a computer to make the silent robot move forward，backward or around in circles.Kevin's mother thinks the robot has had a calming influence，helping her son get along better with his friends.Cosmobot was developed by Anthro Tronix.Corinna Lathan started the company ten years ago to work with children with cerebral palsy，Down's syndrome，autism and other developmental disabilities.Children become friends with the robot，she says.That can have a big effect on their behavior，helping them work harder and longer in therapy sessions.Corinna Lathan is currently working with a British company to develop other socially helpful robots.She says they are still considered research tools in the United States，and not used as much as in places like Britain and Japan.But she hopes to change that.11．It's known from the text that ______.A．schools have easy access to the Internet todayB．new technology is seldom applied to teachingC．the Internet is of equal importance in schoolsD．using computers for activities is laborsaving12．Which of the following is NOT right about Smart Board?A．It's a kind of teaching facility.B．It can be used to project video.C．It's a display for presentation.D．It's not easy to be connected to computers.13．What's “dyspraxia” according to Para.5?A．Speech barrier. B．Movement disorder.C．Visual impairment. D．Loss of memory.14．Which of the following is RIGHT according to the text?A．Cosmobot is designed to play with.B．Cosmobot is costly and not user friendly.C．Cosmobot can be controlled by a computer.D．Anthro Tronix is a designer of a certain company.15．What can we learn from Corinna Lathan?A．She's employed by a British company.B．Cosmobot is popular around the world.C．She wants to make previous products widespread.D．IPods and mobile phones are valued in class.DLife comes in a package.This package includes happiness and sorrow，failure and success，hope and despair.Life is a learningprocess.Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person.With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.LoveLove plays a pivotal role in our life.Love makes you feel wanted.Without love a person could go hayward and also become cruel and ferocious.In the early stage of our life，our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care；they teach us about what is right and wrong，good and bad.But we always tend to take this for granted.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others' feelings.Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.Happiness and SorrowMaterialistic happiness is short lived，but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others' face gives a certain level of fulfillment.Peace of mind is the main link to happiness.No mind is happy without peace.We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow.Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one，failure and despair.But these things are temporary and pass away.Failure and SuccessFailure is the path to success.It helps us to touch the sky，teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way.Success brings in money，fame，pride and self­respect.Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder.The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble，modest，courteous and respectful tothe less fortunate ones.Hope and DespairHope is what keeps life going.Parents always hope their children will do well.Hope makes us dream.Hope builds in patience.Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour，because after every night there is a day.Nothing remains the same.We have only one choice to keep moving on in life and be hopeful.Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday，for it has passed and is beyond our control.Tomorrow is unknown，for it could either be bright or dull.So the only alternative is to work hard today，so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.16．In the passage，the author compares life to ______.A．a package B．joy and sorrowC．failure and success D．hope and despair17．In which section can readers probably read the passage?A．Opinions. B．Politics.C．Education. D．Lifestyles.18．How is the passage organized?A．In order of rules. B．In order of frequency.C．By making comparison. D．In order of importance.19．What's the general meaning of the last sentence of the whole passage?A．If you work hard，you'll have a better life in the future.B．When choosing between “today” and “tomorrow”，you'd better enjoy tomorrow.C．What you only can choose is to work hard today rather than tomorrow.D．Enjoying a better tomorrow is your only choice.20．What's the purpose of the passage?A．To encourage people to love each other.B．To tell people how to deal with happiness and sorrow.C．To remind people of keeping having a beautiful dream.D．To give readers some information about life.第二节阅读表达You may not realize it，but you are doing more than just studying when you are at school.The school is also the place where youlearn______.But this is not always easy.What can you do if you just don't like one of your classmates?If you discover that you have problems getting along with yourclassmates or friends，the most important thing to learn is tolerance.Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others.We can not change the way that other people do things，so it is important to learn to live happily with them.Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other.Knowing others constantly makes us understand others' differences.Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad.Tolerance teaches us to keep an even temper and an open mind.You need to remember an old saying，“Treat others how you want to be treated.” You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates，so it is important to treat them kindly too.If you tolerate something，it does not mean that you have to like it.No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in.Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.It is important to practice tolerance，because it will make everyone's life easier.Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests.The world is very different，and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.1．What is the main idea of the text？(within 10 words)________________________________________________________________ ________2．Which sentence in the text can be replaced by the following one?Getting to know someone may help you understand why they do things differently.________________________________________________________________ ________3．Please fill in the blank in the first paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(within 10 words)________________________________________________________________ ________4．Why is tolerance important？How can you get along well with your classmates？(within 30 words)________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________5．Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.________________________________________________________________ ________参考答案第一节A1. 答案：C解析：主旨大意题。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校高考英语二轮专题复习阅读能力综合培养训练集（九十六）AThe Colonel ask Ashenden a good many questions and then suggested that he had particular qualifications for the Secret Service. Ashenden knew several European languages and the fact that he was a writer provided excellent cover: on the pretext that he was writing a book he could, without attracting attention, visit any neutral country.It was while they were discussing this point that the Colonel said,"You know you might get material that would be very useful to you in your work. I'll tell you an incident that occurred only recently. Very dramatic.A foreign government minister went down to a Mediterranean resort to fecover from a cold and he had some very important documents with him that he kept in a despatchcase."A day or two after he arrived, he picked up a blonde at some restaurant or other, and he got very friendly with her. He took her back to his hotel, and when he came to himself in the morning the lady and the despatch-case had disappeared. They had one or two drinks up in his room and his theory is that when his back was turned the woman slipped a drug in his glass." "Do you mean to say that happened the other day?"said Ashenden wearily. "The week before last.""Impossible,"cried Ashenden. "Why, we've been putting that incident on the stage for sixty years, we've written it in a thousand novels. Do you mean to say that life has only just caught up with us?""Well, I can vouch for the truth of the story." said the Colonel, "And believe me, the government concerned has been put to no end of trouble by the loss of the documents.""Well sir, if you can't do better than that in the Secret Service," sighed Ashenden, "that I'm afraid that as a source of inspiration to the writer of fiction, it's washout."1.How did the Colonel suggest that Ashenden's being a writer would relate to his work as a spy?a.It would make travelling abroad more possible.b.It would make it easier for him to meet

the national government and lists its powers and activities.The constitution gives Congress the authority to make laws which are necessary for the common defense and the good of the nation.It also gives the federal government the power to deal with national and international problems that involve more than one state.All powers that are not given to the federal government by the constitution are the responsibility of the individual states.The federal government has three branches--the executive,the legislative,and the judicial.The legislative brandch makes the laws,executive branch carries out the laws,and judicial branch interprets the laws.The President heads the executive branch and the Supreme Court heads the judicial branch.The legislative branch includes both houses of Congress--the Senate and the House of Reprsentatives.The constitution limits the powers of each branch and prevents one branch from gaining too much power.For example,Congress can pass a Law the President may sign it.Nevertheless,the Supreme Court can declare the law unconstitutional and nullify it.All government in the United States is "of the people,by the people and for the people".The people elect the President and the members of Congress.However,the President appoints the heads of federal departments and the Supreme Court judges.Every citizen votes in secret.Consequently,no one knows for whom and indevidual votes.The people believe that their government should provide a frameword and order within which they are left free to run their own lives.1.Who makes the laws?a.The

have too much power5.The main point of this passage is ______.a.the three branches of the U.S. governmentb.American governmentc.the Federal ConsititutionD.the people should be left free to run their own lives答案：abcdbC40 Years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of.But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville,England in 1984 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann,the situation began to change.Sir Ludwig Guttmann,who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Gernamy,had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London.His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.In the first games just tow teams of injured soldiers took part.The next year,1949,five teams took part.From those beginnings,things have developed fast.Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year.In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome,in the same place as the normal Olympic Games,although they are organized separately.In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville.In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games,1064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part.Unfortunately,they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles,along with the other Olympics.The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendshiop and understanding,and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can't enjoy sport.One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games,however,has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied.Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athlets should not be excluded.1.The first games for the desabled were held _____ after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.a.40 yearsb.21 yearsc.10 yearsd.9 years2.Besides Stoke Mandeville,surely the games for the disabled were once held in _____.a.New Yorkb.Londonc.Romed.Los Angeles3.In Paragraph 3,the word "athletes" means

an early organizer of the games for the disabled.b.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an injured soldier.c.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is from Germany.d.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is welcomed by the British government.5.From the passage,we may conclude that the writer is _____.a.one of the organizers of the games for the disabledb.a disabled person who once took part in the gamesc.against holding the games for the disabledd.in favour of holding the games for the disabled答案：cbccbDAnne Whitney, a sophomore at Colorado State University,first had a problem taking tests when she began college."I was always well prepared for my tests.Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test.Yet I would go in to take the test,only to find I could not answer the questions correctly.I would blank out because of nervousness and fear.I couldn't think of the answer.My low grades on the tests did not show what I knew to the teacher." Another student in microbiology and similarexperiences.He said ,"My first chemistry test was very difficult.Then,on the second test,I sat down to take it,and I was so nervous that I was shaking.My hands were moving up and down so quickly that it was hard to hold my pencil.I knew the materical and I knew the answers.Yet I couldn't even writen them down!"These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety.Because a student worries and it uneasy about a test,his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does.The student can't write or think clearly because of the extreme tension and nervousness.Although poor grades are often a result of poor study habits,sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades.Recently,test anxiety had been recognized as a real problem,not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students.Special university counseling courses try to help students.In these courses,counselors try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety.At some universities,students take tests to measure their anxiety.If the tests show their anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help them deal with their tension.These courses teach students how to relax their bodies.Students are trained to become calm in bery tense situations.By controlling their nervousness,they can let their minds work at ease .Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.An expert at the University of California explains."With almost all students, relaxation and less stress are felt after taking out program.Most of then experience better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvement.With some,the improvement is very great."1.To "blank out" is probably______.a.to be like a blanketb.to be sure of an answerc.to be unable to think clearlyd.to show knowledge to the teacher2.Poor grades are usually the result of _______.a.poor hygienic habitszinessck of sleepd.inability to form good study habits3.Test anxiety has been recognized as _______.a.an excuse for lazinessb.the result of poor habitsc.a real problemd.something that can't be changed4.To deal with this problem,students say they want to ______.a.take a short course on anxietyb.read about anxietyc.be able to manage or understand their anxietyd.take test to prove they are not anxiety5.A University of California counselor said_______.a.all students could overcome the anxiety after taking a special test anxiety programb.almost all students felt less stress after taking a University of California counseling coursec.students found it difficult to improve even though they had taken a special test anxiety coursed.students found it easy to relax as soon as they extered a University of California counseling course答案：cdcab。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校环境保护类Passage 1 （2011•广东卷•D）In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources (资源), the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕榈油), which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger management of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge public expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.41. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ______.A. it makes the world warmerB. it consumes natural resourcesC. it brings severe damage to forestsD. it makes growth hard to continue42. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. China lacks wind and solar energy.B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market.C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development.D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.43. To fully develop the low-carbon markets, government can ______.A. cut public expensesB. forbid carbon emissionC. develop public resourcesD. encourage energy conservation44. We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to ______.A. develop sustainable productsB. explore new natural resourcesC. make full use of natural resourcesD. deal with the major challenge45. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce a new business model.B. To compare two business models.C. To predict a change of the global market.D. To advocate sustainable development.【文章大意】人类传统的产业发展模式对地球的环境造成了严重的危害，森林减少、全球变暖等环境问题愈发严重。

高考英语二轮专题复习阅读能力综合培养训练集（一百零一）AA rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below 16℃.Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world.Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.In the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources (资源): land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example，a lot of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly, cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run it actually reduces t he world’ s wood supply.Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests. [语篇解读] 文章论述了热带雨林的重要作用以及对环境的影响。

2013年高考第二轮复习英语陕西版专题升级训练十六史地、自然、科普、新闻类阅读理解、信息匹配（一）第一节阅读理解AThe Alps are the youngest and highest mountain system in Europe.They stretch across the western and southern part of the continent in a broad arc.The mountain range starts near the Mediterranean Sea on the border between France and Italy.Then it curves north and eastward through northern Italy，Switzerland，Liechtenstein，southern Germany，Austria and Slovenia.The Alps are about 1,000 km long，and the broadest section is over 260 km wide.The highest peak，Mont Blanc，situated on the border between France，Italy and Switzerland，rises 4,807 meters above sea level.Other famous peaks are the Monte Rosa，the Matterhorn，the GroBglockner and the Zugspitze.Millions of years ago the area of today's Alps was covered by a large sea that separated Europe and Africa.The southern land mass started moving northwards.This movement folded rock layers at the bottom of the sea.Heat and pressure transformed the rock and pushed the_material upwards.Today these regions are the highest parts of the Alps.Most of the newly formed rock is granite and gneiss，but many ranges consist of limestone which also formed on the seabed.During the Ice Age，which started about a million years ago，the Alps were covered with a thick blanket of snow.Glaciers moved down valleys and made them wider and deeper.As they moved they took rock and other material with them，creating moraines （冰碛）．When glaciers started to melt water filled up behind these natural dams and created the alpine lakes we know today.The largest of these glaciers is the Aletsch in Switzerland which reaches a l ength of about 25 km.The longest glacier of the eastern Alps is the 8 km long Pasterze，at the foot of the GroBglockner.The ice and snow of the alpine regions helped create the large rivers of today：the Rhine，Rhone，Danube and the Po.1．From the first two paragraphs we know the Alps ______.A．are about 260 km wideB．stretch across the western part of AfricaC．are the youngest mountain system in the worldD．have the highest peak 4,807 meters above sea level2．What does the underlined phrase “this material” i n Para.3 refer to?A．Sea water and rock.B．Rock that was transformed.C．Rock layers that were folded.D．Limestone which was on the seabed.3．It can be inferred from the passage that the Alps were formed ______.A．before the Ice Age B．during the Ice AgeC．because of seas' movement D．because of glaciers' movement4．From the passage we know Danube is ______.A．a kind of rock B．one of the Alps' famous peaksC．the name of a river D．one of the largest glaciersBNanoparticles（纳米粒子）are everywhere，from cosmetics and clothes，to soda and snacks.But as common as they are，they also have a downside，say researchers at Binghamton University and Cornell University in a recent paper published in thejournal Nature Nanotechnology.These tiny particles，even in low doses，could have a big impact on our long­term health.According to the lead author of the article，Gretchen Mahler，assistant professor of bioengineering at Binghamton University，much of the existing research on the safety of nanoparticles has been directly related to health effects.But what Mahler and a team of researchers really wanted to know was what happens when someone gets constant exposure in small doses—the kind you'd get if you took a drug or supplement that included nanoparticles in some form.“We thought that the best way to measure the more subtle（精细的）effects of this kind of intake was to monitor the reaction of intestinal（肠道的）cells，”said Mahler.“And we did this in two ways：through human intestinal­lining cells that we had cultured in the lab，and through the intestinal linings of live chickens.Both sets of results pointed to the same thing—that exposure to nanoparticles influences the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream.”The uptake of iron was of particular interest due to the way it is absorbed and processed through the intestines.“What w e found was that for brief exposures，iron absorption dropped by about 50 percent，”said Mahler.“But when we extended that period of time，absorption actually increased by about 200 percent.It was very clear—nanoparticles definitely affect iron uptake and transport.”While brief oral exposure disrupted intestinal iron transport，long­time exposure caused intestinal cells to be larger and broader，thus allowing iron to enter the bloodstream much faster.“The intestinal cells are a gateway that ingested nanoparticles must go through to get to the body，”said Mahler.“We monitored iron absorption and found that the polystyrene nanoparticles affected the absorption process and caused a physiological response.”5．What is the best title for the passage?A．Nanoparticles are common in our life.B．Nanoparticles have an effect on our health.C．We should know more about nanoparticles.D．The intake of nanoparticles should be banned.6．Gretchen Mahler's research is to ______.A．measure the direct health effects of iron uptakeB．find out the effect of long­time expo sure to nanoparticlesC．explore how to reduce the effects of nanoparticlesD．study how nanoparticles affect chickens7．The underlined word “disrupted” in the last paragraph probably means “______”．A．disordered B．benefitedC．discovered D．followed8．In which part of a magazine can this passage most likely be found?A．Science. B．History.C．Entertainment. D．Economy.CClimate change is threatening to redraw the world's wine­producing map，and the effects are already being seen in earlier harvests and coarser（更为粗糙、劣质的）wines.“The consequences of global warming are already being felt.Harvests are already coming 10 days earlier than before in almost all grape­growing regions，”said Bernard Seguin，the head of climate studies at France's INRA agricultural research institute.He was speaking at the opening of the Second International Congress on Wine and Climate Change.“Wine and wine­producing will change in a way that will dependon how we face global warming，”said Seguin.“If the tempera ture rises two or three degrees centigrade，we could manage to see Bordeaux remain as Bordeaux，Rioja as Rioja，Burgundy as Burgundy.But if it goes up five or six degrees，we must face up to huge problems，and the changes will be hard，”he said.Grapes are damaged if they ripen too quickly，due to higher temperatures and a lack of rain.“When a grape matures more quickly，you get higher concentrations of sugar，lower acidity（酸性）and a higher PH level，”said Fernando Zamora of the oenology faculty（葡萄酒酿造学系）at the University of Tarragona in Spain.The result is coarser wines，with a higher alcohol level and lower acidity which can destroy the delicate flavor of good quality wines，he said.It would also lead to higher prices in countries which tax wine according to its alcoho l level.“The types of wines will change in almost all regions，”said Vicente Sotes，a professor at the Polytechnic University.And some regions which still produce good wine would no longer benefit from the ideal climatic conditions that are responsible for their fame.“The French will have problems，especially in the Bordeaux region，”said Pancho Campos，the president of the Wine Academy of Spain，who organized the Barcelona conference.“German producers on the banks of the Rhine will be the least at risk，”he sai d.The French “Grand Crus” could be further threatened by the “New World” wines of Australia，California，Chile，Argentina，South Africa and New Zealand，which would have the best climatic conditions.“The countries in the southern hemisphere（半球）are next to a greater mass of water，and it is sea currents that maintain the temperature at its level，”said Campos.9．What's the main idea of the passage?A．How we should fight against the climate change.B．Earlier harvests are the causes of coarser wines.C．Wine production is threatened by the climate change.D．Global warming is very serious in many countries.10．A brand of wine with poor quality bears the feature of ______.A．a lower alcohol level B．a lower PH levelC．a lower acidity level D．a lower sugar level11．The last paragraph indicates that ______.A．wines produced in the countries in the southern hemisphere have low prices B．French wine producers face more threats from the rise of temperatureC．the southern countries have much higher temperature compared with the north D．the countries in the southern hemisphere would have ideal climate for wine producingDScientists think it will be possible to record people's dreams and then interpret them.They claim to have developed a system which allows them to record higher level brain activity.Dr Moran Cerf told the journal Nature：“We would like to read people's dreams.”Previously the only way to access people's dreams is for psychologists to ask about them after the event and try to interpret them.Dr Cerf hopes to eventually compare people's memories of their dreams with an electronic picture of their brain activity.He told the BBC：“There's no clear answer as to why humans dream.And one of the questions we would like to answer is when do we actually create this dream.”The scientist believes his latest research shows that certain neurons（神经元）or individual brain cells are linked with specific objects or concepts.He found that a particular neuron lit up when a volunteer thought about Marilyn Monroe.If a databasewas built up identifying various neurons with concepts，objects and people，it would allow them to “read the subject's minds”，according to Dr Cerf.However，Dr Roderick Oner，a clinical psychologist and dream expert，said that this kind of picture would be of lim ited help when it came to interpreting the “complex dream story”．In order to get a detailed picture of individual neurons，scientists had to have electrodes（电极）implanted deep in the brain by using surgery.The Nature researchers used data from patients who had electrodes implanted to monitor and treat them for brain seizures.However，Dr Cerf said he hoped that it would be possible at a later stage to monitor people without invasive surgery.He said it would be “wonderful” to be able to read the minds of coma（昏迷的）patients who are unable to communicate.12．How did we record and interpret our dreams in the past?A．We couldn't do that because of our limited science knowledge.B．Only some scientists could do that with some special systems.C．Everyone could do that by asking about the dreamers after the event.D．Psychologists could do that by asking about the dreamers after the event.13．What can be inferred from the 3rd paragraph?A．Dr Cerf's latest research is really a success.B．Dr Cerf's latest research turns out to be a failure.C．Not all scientists are in favor of Dr Cerf's opinion.D．All scientists think Dr Cerf's research is ridiculous.14．Why did scientists have electrodes implanted deep in the brain?A．Because they wanted to gain a more clear image of individual neurons.B．Because they hoped to find a new way of curing the patients' brain seizures.C．Because they could get the data that would be used for treating brain seizures.D．Because they wanted to read the minds of coma patients unable to communicate.15．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A．A famous scientist，Dr CerfB．Scientists plan to record people's dreamsC．When do we actually create this dreamD．Roderick

people moved to the city from the country during the 19th century.The migration was especially stimulated by the construction of railroads，which provided easy accessto the capital.After World War Ⅱ，more and more immigrants arrived.18．The city is the centralized control point of most national radio and television broadcasting.It is a place of publication of the most important newspapers and magazines and an international book publishing center.With more than 100 museums，Paris has truly one of the greatest concentrations of art treasures in the world.The Louvre opened as a museum in 1793，is one of the largest museums in the world.19．In the late 1980s about 4.1 million pupils annually attended about 47,000 elementary schools.In addition，about 5.4 million students attended some 11,200 secondary schools.Approximately 1.2 million students were enrolled annually at universities and colleges in France in the late 1980s.French centers of learning have served as academic models throughout the world.20．Paris is the leading industrial center of France，with about one quarter of the nation's manufacturing concentrated in the metropolitan area.Industries of consumers' goods have always been drawn to Paris by the enormous market of the big population.and modern，high­technolog y industries also have become numerous since World War Ⅱ.Chief manufactures are

He and his two sisters grew up in Seattle. Their father, William H. Gates II, was a Seattle attorney (律师). Mary Gates, theirlate mother, was a school teacher.Gates attended public elementary school before moving on to the private Lakeside School in North Seattle. It was at Lakeside that Gates began his career in personal computer soft- ware, programming computers at age 13.In 1973, Gates entered Harvard University as a freshman, where he lived down the hall from Steve Ballmer, who is now Microsoft's president. While at Harvard, Gates developed a version (版本) of the programming language BASIC for the first microcomputer---the MITS Astair. In his junior year, Gates dropped out of Harvard to devote his energies full-time to Microsoft, a company he had started in 1975 with his boyhood friend Paul Allen.
