高中英语真题:2016高考英语暑假阅读理解选练（5）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment re cently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycli ng in the home is very important of course. However, being fo rced to recycle often means we already have more material th an we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in th e first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 19 99 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the . In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environ ment. The , for example, is running out of areas for burying thi s unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off gr eenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of th em are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, en couraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example. But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. W e have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have l earned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide ran ge of consumer products, which often have far more packagin g than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material w e are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our con sumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.1. What does the underlined phrase “that over-consumption” refer to?A. Using too much packaging.B. Recycling too many wastes.C. Making more products than necessary.D. Having more material than is needed.2. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show .A. the tendency of cutting household wasteB. the increase of packaging recyclingC. the rapid growth of supermarketsD. the fact of packaging o veruse3. According to the text, recycling .A. helps control the greenhouse effectB. means burning packaging for energyC. is the solution to gas shortageD. leads to a waste of land4. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D. Other products are better packaged than food.5. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.B. Needless material is mostly recycled.C. People like collecting recyclable wastes.D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.【参考答案】1-5 DDACA【2013界广东省汕头市质量监测试题】The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when h e said, "High school English teachers are not doing their jobs. " He described the inadequacies of his students, all high scho ol graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions ho w this grade 9 level had been established.My topic is not standards nor its decline（降低）. What the speaker was really saying is that eh is no long er young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation abou t the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also huma n nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth centur y, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language d eficiencies（缺陷）. But since then, English teachers have been under const ant attack.The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. Astheir own command of the language improves, they notice tha t young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that th eir own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the languag e of the young always seems inadequate.Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English la nguage is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but r ather as something new and peculiar to today's young people, it naturally follows that today's English teachers cannot be do ing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not have a poor command of English.41. The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that ________.A. the language of the younger generation is usually inferior t o that t of the older generationB. the students had a poor command of English because they didn't work hard enoughC. he was an excellent language teacher because he had bee n teaching English for sixteen yearsD. English teachers should be held responsible for the studen ts' poor command of English【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。

The multi－million pound new Library of Birmingham (LoB)will be the most visible sign of the way the city is accepting the digitalization(数字化)of everyday life.Set to open in 2013，the￡188m LoB is already beginning to take shape next to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre，with which it will share some equipment.As digital media(媒介)is important to its_idea，the project is already providing chances for some of the many small new local companies working at the new technologies.Brian Gambles，the LoB project director，says it is about giving people the right tools for learning：“The aim is to mix the physical with the digital，providing 24－hour services which can be used through many different ways.It is important to enable us to reach more people，more effectively.” The digital library will，he says，be as important as the physical one，allowing the distant use of the services, making sure that it is never closed to the public.Even before the LoB is complete，the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual(虚拟的)LoB，designed by Baden，the Birmingham virtual worlds specialists.Not only have the public been able to learn about the LoB，but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens.Two other small Birmingham－based digital companies are also working on the LoBprojects.Substrat，a digital design company，is developing what it calls an example of an “enlarged reality” project.It is about the use of an exciting smart phone，an important part of the LoB which is in the early stages of development.And The People's Archive is an online library of historical figures of the city being built up by a digital content company in Cahoots，in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material.Gambles says：“Technology will enable us to make the library's content and services open to citizens as never before”【语篇解读】本文是一则新闻报道。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Whenever we turn on the TV or radio, read the newspapers, surf the Internet, we'll be surrounded by the word "diet" everywhere. We have so easily been attracted by the promise of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically（心理上地）and physically.It's obvious that diet products weaken us psychologically. They allow us to jump over the thinking stage that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fat. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word "diet" in food labels.What's more, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves that we don't have to work to get results．Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.As a matter of fact, the danger that diet products bring not only lies in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm they cause. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie. oaly because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products, And they can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are stopping our bodies having basic nutrients. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicalsthat go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Think twice before buying diet products. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, 3rd therefore, prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.1. From Paragraph 1，we learn thatA. diet products are in our daily lifeB. people have trouble choosfng diet productsC. people should put up with diet productsD. diet products are misleading people2. The psychological effect of diet products is that people tend toA. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods B, pay attention to their daily dietC. watch their weight rather than their dietD. try out varieties of diet foods3. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably meansA. diet products cause no pain B, it costs a lot to.lose weightC. losing weight is effortlessD. diet products are free of fat and calories4．Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such productsA. are over-consumedB. are short of basic nutrientsC. lack chemicalsD. provide too much energy参考答案1—4、DCCB2016高考训练题。

阅读理解训练（5）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A MythIt is true that world population is growing, but this is not the ca use of our current and future global problems. Believing this w ill cause us to ignore the real problem and risk long-term damage to our planet.Let me start by explaining why overpopulation is a myth. For o ne thing, the UN Population Division regularly predicts populat ion growth but provides a low variant (变量), medium variant, and high variant to factor in various possi bilities. In the 2010 revision, their high variant suggests that th e world population will be almost 16 billion in 2100, but the lo w variant predicts it will peak at 8 billion and decrease to just over 6 billion by 2100. In most cases, it is the low variant that has come true in the past, suggesting the same will be true of their future population predictions. In addition to this, the size of families is actually decreasing.For another, if the Earth is overpopulated, there needs to be i nsufficient (短缺) food, water, and space for humans to live. However, India n economist Raj Krishna estimates that alone is able to incre ase crop produce to the point of providing the entire world’s fo od supply. The World Food Programme confirms that there is sufficient food grown to feed the world and there is the same amount of fresh water on the planet now as there was 10,000 years ago. So how is it possible that the number of people in t he world is affecting our planet?Therefore, it is not an increase in population but an increase i n consumption that is a severe threat. Materialism and overco nsumption are facts of life for everybody in the western world, as possessions reflect a person’s status in society and people strive to obtain happiness through owning the latest fashiona ble goods. Not only that, but waste is a common occurrence which has a huge effect on our resources. It is a sad truth that 80% of the world’s resources are currently used by just 20% of the world’s population.Our overconsumption must be addressed now to make our liv es more sustainable (可持续的) and avoid continuing the terrible damage to the environme nt we are causing. The key is education. If we do not work to wards this but instead focus on the wrong issue, we may find ourselves living on a planet that can no longer sustain humanlife.1. According to the author, what causes our current and future global problems?A. The increase in population.B. Shortage of food and water.C. The fast growth of material needs.D. Failure to protect the environment.2. The underlined word “myth” in Paragraph 2 is closest in me aning to _________.A. factB. misconceptionC. possibilityD. uncertainty3. The author stresses that _____.A. people should save food and waterB. economists are making wrong predictionsC. wrong judgment leads to serious consequencesD. measures should be taken to reduce population4. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. The real cause of global problems.B. The severe effect of overpopulation.C. Reasonable use of natural resources.D. Methods to reduce overconsumption.【参考答案】C B C .A2016高考英语二轮：（精选）阅读理解训练（5）及答案A“It takes an entire village to raise a child.”That’s an old prov erb(谚语) that is being quoted more and more often these days. And I’m pleased about that.Today, more and more schools are reaching out to involve p arents, community members and businesses to help shape a child’s future.Parents need to be involved in their children’s education in many ways. Helping children with homework and studying, go ing on a field trip, teaching a craft or coaching a child’s sports team are all great ways to be involved with your child’s educat ion. And don’t forget to communicate with teachers---they need and respect your input. Studies show that children l earn more and schools function better when parents and scho ols work together. It’s important to stay in touch with your child’s education all through his or her school career.Communities can help children create and achieve new goal s. Help with homework, read to a child, coach a children’s tea m, or provide emotional support. Help solve problems and buil d self-esteem. Kids need role models and advisers can be role mod els by sharing their experiences and wisdom.Businesses can also help shape our children’s future. Invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace. You ma y be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilitie s. Show students what goes on during a typical day. Give a m ini course for students: how to use a computer; how products are made; how machinery works. You may have a developing electrician, teacher, nurse, or even a newspaper reporter on your hands.It really does take an entire village to raise a child. So share the responsibility---and the joy---of bringing a child to his or her full potential.21. The implied advice in the proverb “It takes an entire village to raise a child.” is that ______.A. All the people in a village should give food to a child.B.Schools, parents, and other organizations should share the responsibilityof shaping a child’s future.C. Children’s should be brought up in the village where they w ere born.D. Schools should be set up in the village where a child was r aised.22.. The text was written mainly for _______________.A. parents and members in organizationsB. teachers and studentsC. newspaper reporters and developing electriciansD. education experts and government officials23. Students can get developed in practical working skill throu gh ______.A. parental involvementB. community activitiesC. business trainingD. school teaching24. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. Parents play an important part in children’s education.B. Communities have not a bit effect on the way to new and h igh ideal.C. Educating a child well demands of the work not only from school but from other organizations.D. Businesses may arrange some training courses for students.参考答案21-24 BACBBMany people find themselves caught up in others’ problems, a nd then confused about how and when to help. In fact, all rela tionships need limits no matter whether they are friendships, s ibling relations, mates/ lovers or business relations. On some l evel, all limit setting means saying no. However, it is usually a qualified “no” that says what, where, when, and under what c onditions you will give or not give to another person. There are three points we should keep in mind about limit setting:1.Decide where to set the limits. Think about the entire situati on. Consider your time, emotions, and means. Then consider whether you are helping the other person. Aim to do somethin g to help the other person without taking on the whole proble m.2.Express the limits clearly. For example, you say to your frie nd, “ I will lend you $20,000 no more than once every three m onths. And I expect you will pay me back within three monthsand certainly before you can borrow more.” You say to anothe r friend, “you can stay here for three weeks but you must help me with expenses and cooking and make sure that you will find your own place before the three weeks is up”.3.Stick to your limits. You are not responsible for making the o ther person obey the limits. You are only responsible for follo wing the limits yourself. Your friend has repaid $12,500 of his/ her $20,000 and asks for $20,000 more. You say no. He/She gets emotional and then says, “I need this money to cover a b ad check. If you cared for our friendship, you would do it”.Limit setting is often stressful and painful because people m istakes it for rejection. And limit setting certainly brings guilt. B ear in mind, it doesn’t mean you have given up or quit loving y our friend, lovers, or sibling. It does mean you are expressing that love in a different and more helpful (to both of you) mann er.25. According to the passage, setting limits means__________ _________.A. refusing always to say yes to your friendB. saying no to your friend who turns to youC. making different kinds of friendsD. breaking away fro m your friend26.Once you decide to set limits, you should_______________ _________.A. announce it publicly to othersB. tell your friend about it clearlyC. be responsible for your friendD. begin to help your frie nd27.We can learn from the last paragraph that limit setting____ __________.A. is often misunderstoodB. is actually a kind of reje ctionC. does harm to your friendship D .contains both love and hate28. What would be the best title for the passage?A. About friendshipB. How to make friendsC. Set limits with friendsD. Show your love in a new way参考答案25-28 ABACCOne girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race eve nts. She always won the blue ribbons. Needless to say, she d idn’t feel threatened when I competed against her at the next show. She didn’t need to. I came in next to last.The stinging memory of Becky’s smirks made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month I woke up early every d ay and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena (赛马场). We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot su n and then I would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted. All o f our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watche d Becky and her horse charge through the course and finish i n first place.My turn finally came. I put on my hat, rubbed Cowboy’s neck and entered the arena. At the signal, we dashed toward the fir st fence, jumped it without trouble and raced on to the next on e. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences l ike a bird and I turned him toward the finish line. As we crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds!I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, I’d always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it.29. The underlined expression "shown the gate" (paragraph 3 ) most probably means ______.A. told how to enter the arenaB. shown how to make th e horse beautifulC. removed from the competition earlyD. told to enter the ti med-speed events30. When the final race finished, nobody cheered because .A. the audience didn’t like CowboyB. people envied the writerC. the win was unexpectedD. the writer bad run out of t ime31. Why was the writer not confident of victory?A. He was an inexperienced rider.B. He had not practiced enough.C. He believed he was unpopular with the crowd.D. He thought his horse wasn’t as good as the others.32. What did the writer learn from his experience?A. Life can sometimes be unfair.B. Anything is possible if on e tries hard enough.C. A positive attitude will bring success.D. One should not make judgments based on appearance.参考答案29-32 CCDBDLast week, while visiting my dad with my daughter, we went to a restaurant for dinner.

My dad replied that it was he who wanted to say “thanks”. They shook hands as the soldier left.Before we left, the waitress came by again. She did a magic s how as another way to show her “thanks” to my dad. Her sho w was really great. My dad left her a note with email address asking for her next performance time in addition to a $ 50 tip.Everyone witnessed something exemplary(可作榜样的) in the human spirit that night. I can only hope to see more of this in the future.33. What did the soldier do in response to the author’s father’s kindness?A. He gave something to author’s dad.B.

Nowadays some students in middle school date with their classmates．According to a new study from the University of Georgia, those students have much worse study skills and are four times more likely to stop schooling．They use twice as much alcohol and tobacco than their single classmates．"Romantic relationships are a trademark of adolescence, but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships," said Pamela Orpinas, study author and professor in the College of Public Health and Head of the department of Health Promotion and Behaviour．Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grades．Each year, the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviours, including the use of drugs and alcohol．Their teachers completed questionnaires about the students7 academic efforts． He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school, and these students had consistently the best study skills according to their teachers．Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school．"At all points in time, teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and students with highest dating as having the worst study skills," according to the journal article．Study skills refer to behaviours that lead to academic successsuch as doing homework for extra credit, being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters．"Dating a classmate may have the same emotional complications （并发症） of dating a co-worker," Orpinas said．"When the couple break up, they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner （前伴侣） dating someone else．It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and distract （分散注意力） them from studying．""Dating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school," Orpinas concluded．1．We can learn from the passage that students who date in middle school may _____．A．be less likely to use alcohol and tobaccoB．enjoy better school livesC．be more likely to hurt othersD．have poorer academic performances2．During his study, Orpinas _____．A．found study skills have connection with their frequency of datingB．completed questionnaires about the students7 academic effortsC．completed a survey and a report each yearD．followed a group of students of 6th and 12th3．Study skills may include the following behaviors and qualities except _____．A．being kind and helpfulB．being well organizedC．being diligentD．finishing assigned schoolwork4．What can possibly happen to those who date in middle school after they break up?A．They will think it reasonable to get depressed．B．They will miss their ex-partners sometimes．C．Their attention to studying will be affected．D．They don't want to see each other any longer．5．According to the passage, Orpinas holds a（n） _____ attitude towards dating in middle school．A．indifferent B．negative C．positive D．supportive【参考答案】1—5、DAACB2016高考英语阅读理解集训。

体裁：记叙文话题：公共服务时间：7分钟The world of taxi drivers is dominated by men.But there is one small taxi company in Delhi，where all the drivers and passengers are female.Women's safety is a hot topic in India at the moment，so it's proving a very popular service.“When I'm on the road driving our taxi I feel very proud，because this is the first taxi service only for women，”says 31­year­old Shanti Sharma，who is one of eight female drivers with a taxi service called Cabs for Women by Women.The last couple of months，since the rape and murder in the city of a college student travelling on a bus，have been particularly busy for her and her colleagues.“After this case，our workload has increased so much，” says Sharma.“Women who used other cab services are also turning to us now.”Most women in Delhi say they routinely face harassment(骚扰)，and worse，especially on public transport. Sharma，a single parent with three daughters，has been working as a taxi driver since 2011，when the service was first set up，and it has changed her life.This is the first time that she has earned enough—about 250 amonth—to support her family.Of course，she and the other female taxi drivers are completely outnumbered by male cabb ies.“When I park somewhere there are always men there and inevitably five or six of them get together and hang out，” she says.“I'm usually the only woman in the parking lot，so I just stay inside the car.”It's not much better when she is out on the road.Sh arma says the male drivers give her a hard time.“As soon as they see a woman at the wheel they start honking(按喇叭) for no reason.They'll try to overtake you.I'm always worrying about how to avoid getting hit by someone.”The company behind Cabs for Women by Women，Sakha Consulting Wings，had a number of goals when it set up the service.It wanted to give women from poor backgrounds an opportunity to earn money.By putting women in charge of technologies，it also wanted to change people's attitudes，and open up boundaries for women.【语篇导读】德里一家出租车公司专门推出了女性司机只为女性乘客提供服务的Cabs for Women by Women 出租车业务。

What makes a person a scientist？Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others？The answer is “NO”．It is not what the tools that a scientist us es but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist.Yo u will probably agree that knowing how to use the power is im portant to a carpenter (木匠)．You will probably agree，too，that knowing how to investigate (调查)，how to discover information，is important to everyone.The scientist，however，goes one step further，he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his quest ions and that his answer can be confirmed (确认) by other persons.He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the worl d works.The scientist’s knowledge must be exact.There is no room forhalf right or right just half the time.He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit.What works under one set of conditio ns sometimes must work under the same conditions at other ti mes.If the conditions are different，any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration (演示) must be explained by the changes in the conditions.This is one reason that investigations are important in science.Albert Einstein，who developed the theory of relativity，arrived at this theory through mathematics.The accuracy of hi s mathematics was later tested through investigations.Einstei n’s ideas were shown to be correct.A scientist uses many tool s for measurements.Then the measurements are used to mak e mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. 1．What makes a scientist according to the passage? A．The tools he uses. B．His ways of learning.C．The ways he uses his tools. D．The different tools.解析：细节理解题。

When Debbie Macomber decided to pursue her dream of becoming a writer，she rented a typewriter，put it on the kitchen table，and began typing each morning before the kids went to school.When the kids came home，she moved the typewriter and made them dinner.When they went to bed，she moved it back and typed some more.For two years，Debbie followed this routine.Supermom had become a struggling writer and she was loving every minute of it.One night，however，her husband，said to her，“Honey，I'm sorry，but you're not bringing in any income.We can't do this anymore.We can't survive on just what I make.”That night，her heart broken and her mind too busy to let her sleep.She stared at the ceiling in their darkened bedroom.Debbie knew—with all of the responsibilities of keeping up a house and looking after four kids—that working 40 hours a week would leave her no time to write.Seeing her despair，her husband woke up and asked，“What's wrong？”“I really think I could have made it as a writer，I really do.”Wayne was silent for a long time，and then said，“All right，honey，go for it.”So Debbie returned to her dream and her typewriter on the kitchen table，pounding out page after page for another two years.Her family went without vacations，pinched pennies，and wore hand－me－downs.But the sacrifice and the persistence finally paid off.After five years of struggling，Debbie sold her first book.Then another.And another.Until finally，today，Debbie has published more than 100 books，three of which have been sold for movies.Over 60 million copies are in print，and she has millions of loyal fans.And Wayne？All that sacrifice in support of his wife paid off handsomely.He got to retire at age 50 and now spends his time building an airplane in the basement of their 7,000 square－foot mansion. Debbie's kids got a gift far more important than a few summer camps.As adults，they realize what Debbie gave them was far more important—permission and encouragement to pursue their own dreams.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了Debbie Macomber坚持不懈地追逐自己的梦想，最后取得成功的故事。

WORD格式整理版2015 年高考全国卷 2 英语试题第Ⅰ卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40 分）AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead ofclothes that wouldn’t fit.I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model.I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set atseventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I firstgot it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night.Fortunately,I didn ’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten tobed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电 )noise. For some reason,when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds.Gradually,this noise began to appear during a show,and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes thistechnique would not work,and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound.I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉 ) shaking my set.Whenneither of these methods removed the static noise,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, andit stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit isworking well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B He couldn ’t return it when itwas broken.B He could have bought it at a lower price.D He failed to find any movieshows on it.22. Which of the following an best replace the phrase“ signed off” in paragraph 1?WORD格式整理版A. ended all their programs B provided fewer channelsC changed to commercialsD showed all-night movies23. How did the author finally get this TV set working again?A.By shaking and hitting it B By turning it on and offC By switching channelsD By having it repaired24. How does the author sound when telling the story?A.Curious B Anxious C Cautious D HumorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure. experts say the way you design yourhome could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.you can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn yourhome into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. dark environments are more likely toencourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情 ) when they ’re in poorly lit places– and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study,people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellowor red room. Warmcolors like yellow make food appear more appetizing,while cold colors make us less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock– or the radio.People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Beginkeeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plants can easily makes us fat. We eatabout 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When wechoose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinnyglass.25. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____.A.their home comforts B their body shapeC house buyingD healthy diets26. A home environment in blue can help people ____.A.digest food better B reduce food intakeC burn more caloriesD regain their appetites27. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A.Eat quickly.B Play fast musicC Use smaller spoonsD Turn down the lights28.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Is Your House Making You Fat?B Ways of Serving DinnerC Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年 ) before going to university.It used to be the“year off ” between school and universit y. The gap-year phenomenon originated( 起源 ) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants betweenentrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year,25,310students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics onuniversity entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service(UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. TonyHiggins from UCASsaid that the statistics are g ood news for everyone in higher education.“Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, andcomplete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union ofStudents(NUS),argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship– young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education.“New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to￡ 15,000 in debt. It isnot surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to supportto work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,”he said.29. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A.It is flexible in length.B It is a time for relaxationC It is increasingly popularD It is required by universities30. According to Tony Higgins. students taking a gap year ____.A. are better prepared for college studies B know a lot more about theirfuture jobC are more likely to leave university in debtD have a better chance to entertop universities31. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A.He’s puzzled B He’s worriedC He’s surprisedD He’s annoyed32.What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A.Attend additional courses.B Make plans for the new termC Earn money for their educationD Prepare for their graduate studiesDChoose Your One-Day-Tours!Tour A - Bath &Stonehenge: including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge - ￡ 37 until 26 March and￡ 39 thereafter.Visit the city with over 2,000years of history and Bath Abbey,the Royal Crescent and the Costume Museum, Stonehenge is one of the world's most famous prehistoric monuments dating back over 5,000 years.Tour B -Oxford& Startford i ncluding entrance fees to the University St Mary's Church Tower and Anne Hathaway's -￡ 32 until 12 March and￡ 36 thereafterOxford:Includes a guided tour of England's oldest university city and colleges.Look over the "city of dreaming spires(尖顶） "from St Mary ’s Church Tower.
