She hopes to use the language at next year's Olympic Games in Tokyo. Takamizawa was one of the more than 200, 00 people who requested to volunteer for Tokyo's 2020 Games. English is not required for service, but it is a useful skill for volunteers to have.But Takamizawa had not been able to learn the language when she was young. Takamizawa said that she was in high school when World War Two started. She said, "In my second year there, English was banned because it was the enemy language."Takamizawa said her grandchildren helped persuade her that she was not too old to learn. "When I talked to my grandchildren about my wish, they said, 'It's not too late. We will teach you one word a day' ". Natsuko is Takamizawa's granddaughter and main English teacher. Natsuko sends a new English word to her grandmother's phone every day. They also often work together directly on phrases that Takamizawa will need for the Olympics. "Welcome to Tokyo, this is the Olympic stadium, how can I help you?" Takamizawa answers when asked to say an English phrase she has learned. Natsuko explains that she wanted to give her grandmother something to enjoy. "I can clearly see her English is getting better. It's my joy now."The EF English Proficiency Index is a measure of the level of English spoken in a country. Japan ranks 49th among countries where English is not the first language. This situation is slowly changing as younger generations welcome English. However, Takamizawa believes real change will not happen unless Japanese people become more open to the rest of the world. With around 500 days to go until the games begin, the whole Takamizawa family is ready to welcome the world to Tokyo.(1)Why couldn't Takamizawa learn English when she was young?A.

【英语】高考英语阅读理解解析版汇编一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解A study, conducted by David Evans of the World Bank and Anna Popova of Stanford University, looked at 19 programs around the world in which individuals were given cash transfers from the government, either as a handout or as a "reward" for something like getting kids to school on time or taking them to the doctor for checkups.Evans and Popova looked at the impact those cash transfers had on the family budget and whether or not they led to an increase in spending on alcohol and cigarettes .What they found was that they almost always led to a reduction in a family's alcohol and tobacco purchases.The news may surprise some people, but it's true, and the researchers have several theories about why.One theory is that the cash transfer made things possible that once seemed impossible. Investing in their kids' education or buying healthier and more expensive foods may be within reach now, but without the cash handout, these goals weren't even a possibility. So families cut back on other expenses (like alcohol and tobacco) to make those dreams a reality.Another theory is that people just generally seem to do what they're told. If they are given money and told to use it for their family's welfare, in most cases, they will do just that. And that leads to the third theory: These cash transfers are usually given to women, and studies show that when women control the purse strings, more money is spent on taking care of their children.Whatever the reason for the trend, the data is clear—families that receive cash handouts don't waste the money on booze and cigarettes as was previously thought. Instead, they typically use that money for the benefit of their families. And that's money well spent.(1)The study proves that .A. cash transfers help poor families get what would seem unavailable otherwiseB. cash should be given to poor people as a reward for something good for kidsC. given cash handouts, poor people would spend the money on alcohol and tobaccoD. poor people would save the cash given by the government for emergency needs(2)A cash transfer led to a reduction in a family's alcohol and tobacco purchases because .A. the education gained with the cash would help them drop alcohol and tobaccoB. the money previously for alcohol and tobacco would help realize their dreamC. buying healthier and more expensive foods left less money for alcohol and tobaccoD. that was the promise made before the cash transfer was given to the poor family(3)In paragraph 5, when the author said "women control the purse strings", he just meant " ".A. women are told what to doB. women are given the moneyC. women know what to do with the moneyD. women have the final word for money(4)The passage mainly tells us .A. how the study was carried outB. why cash transfer is preferredC. the findings of a study and explanations to themD. the theories for a study about cash transfers【答案】(1)A(2)B(3)D(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,世界银行和斯坦福大学的专家进行了一项研究,给贫穷家庭一笔汇款,结果发现汇款能够减少烟酒方面的花销,作者分析了出现这一现象的原因。
高考英语阅读理解解析版汇编一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解A robot created by Washington State University (WSU) scientists could help elderly people with dementia (痴呆) and other limitations live independently in their own homes.The Robot Activity Support System or RAS, uses sensors installed in a WSU smart home to determine where its residents are, what they are doing and when they need assistance with daily activities. It navigates (定位) through rooms and around obstacles to find people on its own, provides video instructions on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owner to objects like their medication or a snack in the kitchen."RAS combines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection technology of a WSU smart home to provide assistance in the moment, as the need for help is detected," said Bryan Minor, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.Currently, an estimated 50 percent of adults over the age of 85 need assistance with every day activities such as preparing meals and taking medication and the annual cost for this assistance in the US is nearly $2 trillion. With the number of adults over 85 expected to triple by 2050, researchers hope that technologies like RAS and the WSU smart home will relieve some of the financial strain on the healthcare system by making it easier for older adults to live alone.RAS is the first robot researchers have tried to incorporate into their smart home environment. They recently published a study in the journal Cognitive Systems Research that demonstrates how RAS could make life easier for older adults struggling to live independently."While we are still in an early stage of development, our initial results with RAS have been promising," Minor said. "The next step in the research will be to test RAS' performance with a group of older adults to get a better idea of what prompts, video reminders and other preferences they have regarding the robot."(1)How does RAS serve elderly people?A. Through sensors.B. Through objects.C. Through a mobile robot.D. Through their daily activities.(2)What can we know about RAS?A. It is the first robot used in daily life.B. Its function remains to be tested.C. It can locate people and do any task.D. It can cook for owners on its own.(3)What's Minor's attitude toward the future of RAS?A. Doubtful.B. Negative.C. Optimistic.D. Uncertain.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Elderly people leave the nursing home.B. Smart Home Tests first elder-Care robot.C. RAS, the first robot to make home smart.D.

Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.From the beginning,people may send the wrong signal(信号).Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize(强调)the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree.For example,business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust.Even with people at work,it is necessary to spend a lot of time in“small talk”,usually over a glass of tea,before they do any job.In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures.I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion instead there was an uncomfortable silence.The people present just stared at me and smiled.After getting to know their ways better,I realized that they thought I was talking too much.In my own culture,we express meaning mainly through words,but people them sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe,cultural differences can cause serious problems.Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values;however,Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.We think that they are rude.In fact,this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions mom quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values,and sometimes these values are quite against each other.However,it we can understand them better,a multicultural environment(多元文化环境)will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.72.In some countries,eating together at restaurants may make it easier for peopleto___________.A.develop closer relationsB.share the same cultureC.get to know each otherD.keep each other company73.The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that___________.A.the English prefer to make long speechesB.too many words are of no useC.people from Thailand are quiet and shy by natureD.even talk and silence can he culturally different74.According to the text,how can people from different cultures understand each other better?A.By sharing different ways of life.B.By accepting different habits.C.By recognizing different values.D.By speaking each other’s languages.75.What would be the best title for the text?A.Multicultural Environment.B.Cross-Cultural Differences.C.How to Understand Each Other.D.How to Build Up a Relationship.答案72.A解析:这是一道推断题。
高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解A monk lived with his brother, a one-eyed idiot(a very stupid person).One day ,when the monk was scheduled to have an interview with a famous theologian(a scientist who studies religions) who had come from far away to meet him, he needed to take care of some matters and would therefore be absent when the theologian arrived. He told his brother: "Receive this scholar and treat him well!Don't say a word to him,and everything will be OK."The monk left the temple. Upon returning, he went to meet his guest."Did my brother receive you properly?" asked the monk."You brother is outstanding. He's a great theologian!" exclaimed the theologian with great enthusiasm."What do you mean? My brother---a theologian?" stuttered(结巴地说)the surprised monk."We had a passionate conversation," replied the scholar." We communicated professionally by means of gestures. I showed him one finger and he replied by showing me two. Logically, I answered with three fingers and then he astonished me by raising a closed fist, ending the debate. With one finger, I implied the unity of Buddha. With two fingers, he expanded my point of view by reminding me that Buddha was inseparable from his theory. Delighted by the reply, with three fingers I expressed: Buddha and his theory in the world. Then he suggested a wonderful response, showing me his fist: Buddha, his theory and the world, all together as one whole. "A little later, the monk went to look for his one-eyed brother."So how did it go earlier with the theologian?" he asked."Very simple," said the brother. "He made fun of me; he show me one finger emphasizing that I have but one eye. Not wanting to fall into the conflict, I showed that he was fortunate enough to have two eyes. Critically, he continued, 'Be that as it may, between us, we have three eyes.' That was the straw that broke the camel's back. Showing him a closed fist, I threatened to lay him out right then and there if he didn't stop his insulting challenges."(1)According to the passage, the monk's brother is a person__________.A. who was a great theologianB. who was a three-eyed idiotC. who was a one-eyed theologianD. who was a fool with only one eye(2)The theologian thought the monk's brother as a great theologian because ______. A. the brother was a one-eyed idiot B. the brother could communicate properly and politely by means of gesturesC. the brother had deep thoughts of BuddhismD. the theologian himself misunderstood the brother's gestures(3)What would the monk do after he heard of his brother's explanation on how it went earlier with the theologian?A. The monk would be very angry with his brother and beat him.B. The monk would be very happy and praise him.C. The monk would apologize to the theologian and his brother.D. The monk would thinkwhat a funny misunderstanding it was.(4)According to what the theologian said, he considered the monk's brother's fist to be the meaning of _____________.A. a threat to himB. an encouragement to himC. a unity of the Buddha, theory and the worldD. one eye of himself【答案】(1)D(2)D(3)D(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,神学大师站在自己的角度误解了和尚的傻瓜弟弟的手势语言,让人读着忍不住发笑。
高考英语阅读理解解析版汇编及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Generally speaking, government regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.There's no more room to bury the dead, they can't be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. "They have not taken local demands into consideration", he claims.A 2003 decree(法令) by Brazil's National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered as a preservation area.Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. "I haven't got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I can't die. That's ridiculous," Amarido do Prado, an unemployed resident said.The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. "Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved," said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant of the mayor. "But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery?" The bill states that "offenders will be held responsible for their acts." However, it does not say what the punishment will be.(1)What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?A. Ban on building a new cemetery.B. Ban on parking in certain zones.C. Forbidding buried grounds in preservation.D. Prohibiting residents from dying early.(2)What can we infer from the phrase "have gone far beyond that" in the first paragraph?A. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have made these regulations.B. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.C. The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.D. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.(3)What's the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations? A. He gives strong backing to them. B. He objects to them.C. He remains silent about them.D. He asks the residents for advice on them.(4)Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. The bill has come into effect but it doesn't state clearly what punishements the offenders will receive.B. The residents of the town sing high praise for the bill.C. The government is going to change the unreasonale and laughable decree.D. No betterresolution of the problems has been thought out.【答案】(1)D(2)C(3)B(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道,由于墓地短缺,巴西城市Biritiba Mirim的官员草拟了一份不准人过早的死去的法案,这引起了当地居民的争论。
【英语】高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解The number of giraffes is becoming smaller across Africa, according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. The total population has dropped by 40 percent in the last 15 years. Surprisingly, even scientists haven't given much attention to giraffes. We are learning more about their ecology, but what we know is still way behind what we know about other species. "It's a silent extinction," said Dr. Julian Hennessy, a wildlife scientist."The main reason for the smaller number of giraffes is their loss of living places," said Hennessy, "as an increasing part of land is used for farming. But hunting also has a big influence." You might wonder why hunters would focus on giraffes. First of all, once a giraffe is brought down, there is lots of meat with a small amount of effort. Besides, there is another thing encouraging the hunting. In Tanzania, Hennessy says, the latest word on the street is that eating giraffe meat could cure AIDS. Fresh giraffe heads and bones can be sold at prices of up to $140 per piece.Another widespread misconception about giraffes is that they are everywhere. Look at kids' books which are full of giraffes. They are always in zoo collections. They can be seen easily, so you don't think we have to worry about them. But the truth is that they are in danger of extinction. There is a lack of right and true data.Hennessy and other researchers are now pulling together the data needed to improve the situation of the entire giraffe species and all nine subspecies (亚种). The information will be used to change the giraffe's listing on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, which now lists the species as of "least concern" but two subspecies as "endangered". "It's a lot of work to gather the necessary information," Hennessy says. "And several other giraffe subspecies will be recommended for endangered listings next year or the year after." He hopes that the world will finally start to take notice of how endangered these beloved animals have become.(1)By saying "It's a silent extinction", Hennessy tells us that ______.A. giraffes are unpopular in AfricaB. the giraffe is always silent in daily lifeC. the ecology of Africa needs more attentionD. the extinction occurs without enough attention(2)What has caused the high price of giraffe meat in Tanzania?A. The country's custom.B. The illegal international trade.C. The cost of hunting a giraffe.D. The idea that it's a cure for AIDS.(3)The misconception in Para. 3 can be corrected by ______.A. preventing illegal hunting in AfricaB. rewriting kids' books about giraffesC. providing reliable data about giraffesD. spreading scientific knowledge of AIDS(4)The final purpose of Hennessy's great effort is to ______.A. collect more information about giraffesB. raise public awareness of protecting giraffesC. prove giraffes will disappear in the next few yearsD. work with the International Union for Conservation of Nature【答案】(1)D(2)D(3)C(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了长颈鹿濒临灭绝的原因,并指出提供准确的数据,提高人们的保护意识至关重要。
高三英语阅读理解解析版汇编含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Two of the saddest words in the English language are "if only". I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, "Take the extra minute to do it right." I always try to live by the "extra minute" rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an "if only" moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I don't only avoid those "if only" moments when it comes to safety. It's equally important to avoid "if only" in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say "I love you" or "I forgive you." When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn't be here. But then I thought about the fact that he's 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn't give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say "if only" about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I'm doing the right thing. I'm buying myself peace of mind and that's the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.(1)Which of the following is an example of the "extra minute" rule?A.Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B.Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C.Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D.Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.(2)The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______.A.keep her appointment with the eye doctorB.meet her father who was already an old manC.join in the holiday celebration of the companyD.finish her work before the deadline approached(3)The underlined word "foregone" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.A.abandonedckedC.avoidedD.taken(4)What is the best title for the passage?A.To Keep Emotional Well-beingB.To Prevent "If Only" MomentsC.To Follow the Most Useful RuleD.To Achieve the Peace of Mind【答案】(1)D(2)B(3)A(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,作者认为英语中最悲伤的两个词语是"if only",因为他们表达了遗憾。

Every day millions of Chinese search social media for wanghong posts or tune in to live-streams for wanghong's opinions on everything. The fans are helping this new Chinese Internet star to make money out of their popularity —and to shake up the country's e-commerce industry in the process.A few of wanghong have been hired by luxury brands. Jaeger-LeCoultre, a Swiss watchmaker,hired Papi Jiang for a video ad targeting young urbanites ( 都市人 ), including her 27m fans on Sina Weibo, a Twitter-like microblog. Zhang Yi of iiMedia Research, a consulting firm, estimates that up to 15% of sales on shopping sites like Taobao or social-media apps such as WeChat are influenced by wanghong's public support. The length of a dress might be decided by a survey of a wanghong's fans; its launch date might be based on the number of hits, shares or comments it collects, some of which can cause last-minute design changes.This poses a new challenge for retailers( 零售商 ), whose supply chains must respond ever more quickly to wanghong's opinions. Whereas previously a company would look for a celebrity to matchits image, wanghong and their admirers are shaping goods.Another challenge comes directly from wanghong themselves. They increasingly make money not merely from online support or advice but by launching their own e-commerce stores. Sales of goods accounted for just under half of wanghong earnings of 53bn yuan ($8bn) in 2016, estimates Analysys, a Chinese market-research firm (the rest came mostly from live-show tips and adverts).Some wanghong are going a step further. In November Becky Fang launched her own clothing line. Part of her motivation, she says, was that the brands she supported did not always match the trends she was sharing with her followers. By creating her own brand, Becky's Fantasy, she have full control of the quality. She also gains a new income. For the time being only 3-5% of wanghongfollow Becky Fang's example, iiMedia Research estimates. But it expects the model to become an industry in its own right, including entertainment and e-commerce, and driven by online data.(1) Why can wanghong use their popularity to make money?A. Because they are Internet stars.B. Because they use social media.C. Because their opinions influence fans.D. Because they can shake the e-commerce industry.(2) What is the characteristic of the products supported by wanghong?A. It is fans-based.B. It is social-media-based.C. It is design-shared.D. It is youth-targeted.(3) What are the challenges for retailers?A. Online support and advice.B. Increasing sales of goods online.C. Quick responses to the market changes.D. Wanghong's opinions and e-commerce stores.(4) Why do some wanghong create their own brands?A. Because they want to attract more fans.B. Because they want to share with their followers.C.

(英语)高三英语阅读理解解析版汇编及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Sports are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us. I have been into sports since I was six years old. I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before. I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I'd make it with no problem. That was a big mistake.Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met. He didn't expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort. One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups (投篮) we missed in a game. Some think this is crazy, but it isn't. After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, "coach, that was the best practice I ever had." I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life's challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters.In the first two years I slacked off, not putting forth my full potential. Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court. He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted. I can honestly say that on other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life. My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students. I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual.(1)Different from other coaches, Coach Brian ________.A. concentrated on skill trainingB. trained the team to the edge of deathC. expected the team to do well in their studiesD. asked the team to do more reading than training(2)The underlined phrase "slacked off" in the last paragraph probably means ________.A. paid no attentionB. showed no interestC. had less passionD. made less effort (3)In the author's eye, Coach Brian is ________.A. strict and helpfulB. hardworking and honestC. skilled and cruelD. professional and serious【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者喜欢篮球,新学校的篮球教练布莱恩对自己的学生严格要求,全文叙述了对布莱恩教练的描述以及他和作者之间发生的事情。

Few of us have n’t re ad Cinderella, the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity (默默无闻).Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, Joey Parker, appears.Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable. Mary and Joe y’s paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid anddoes everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale.
