高中英语素养阅读限时练习（高二上13）（附答案详细解析）（建议用时：40分钟）When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as wild cats or dogs. Other images show birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering(数目超过) all other animals.Early artists drawing these animals finished a meaningful and difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing high walls or going into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex(建筑群). Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed (暴露) to the destructive(破坏性的) action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside.Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images are in a bad situation and are barely (几乎不能) recognizable. To prevent further damage, the place was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.1. The underlined phrase “pays heed to” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.A. discoversB. watchesC. noticesD. affects2. According to the text, which animals appear most often on the cave walls?A. Birds.B. Wild dogs.C. Horses.D. Wild cats.3. Why was painting inside the Lascaux complex a difficult task?A. It was completely dark inside.B. The caves were full of wild animals.C. Painting materials were hard to find.D. Many painting spaces were difficult to reach.4. What could be the best title for the text?A. Wild Animals in ArtB. Hidden Prehistoric PaintingsC. Exploring Caves RespectfullyD. Determining the Age of French CavesII 完形填空A critic once described American writer Edith Wharton as a "self-made man." Array She liked the 1______ and repeated it.

高中英语素养阅读限时练习（高二上12）（附答案详细解析）（建议用时：40分钟）I阅读理解In the early days of human history, people survived by hunting wild animals, or gathering wild grains and plants for food. Then, some people learned to grow crops and raise animals for food. They were the first farmers.From the sixteenth century on, the word farm has meant agricultural land. But a much older meaning of the word farm is linked to economics. The word farm comes from the Latin word firma, which means an unchanging payment. Experts say the earliest meaning of the English word farm was a yearly payment made as a tax or rent.Farmers in early England did not own their land. They paid every year to use agricultural lands. In England, farmers used hawthorn trees along the edges of houses. They called this row of hawthorns(山茶树) a hedge(篱笆). Hedging fields was how careful farmers marked and protected them. Soon, people began to use the word hedging(用篱笆围) to describe steps that could be taken to protect against financial loss. Hedging is common among gamblers who make large bets. A gambler bets a lot of money on one team. But, to be on the safe side, he also places a smaller bet on the other team, to reduce a possible loss.You might say that someone is hedging his bet(两面投机) when he invests in several different kinds of businesses. One business may fail, but likely not all. Farmers know that it is necessary to make hay while the sun shines(抓紧时机行事). Hay has to be cut and gathered when it is dry. So a wise farmer never postpones gathering his hay when the sun is shining. Rain may soon appear. A wise person copies the farmer. He works when conditions are right.1. What did the word “farm” probably me an at first?A. Agricultural land.B. A yearly payment made as a tax or rent.C. An unchanging payment.D. Economics or economy.2. We can know from the 3rd paragraph that farmers in early England ________ .A. They had land of their own.B. They paid to use hawthorn trees every year.C. They used hedging fields.D. They often suffered from financial loss.3. Which of the following is wise?A. A new mother quickly learns to try to sleep when her baby is quiet.B. Hay has to be cut and gathered before it is dry.C. Put off gathering hay when the sun is shining.D. Gather hay as it is rainy.4. If a boy is carefully listening to his teacher in class, he learns to ________ .A. become a wise farmerB. hedge his betC. gather his hayD. make hay while the sun shines.II 完形填空About forty years ago, I was an instructor in the military academy at Woolwich when young Scoresby was given his first examination. Everybody answered the history questions well while he didn’t know anything. I knew that when examined again he would fail and be thrown out(被刷掉) from the military academy. I thought that 1________ one thing was sure to happen: The maths examination would destroy him in the end. Therefore, I decided to make his end as painless as possible. So, I pushed facts into his stupid head(填鸭式的硬灌) for hours every day for the second-round exam. I felt guilty day and night – what I was doing to him was not right. But I only wanted to 2________ his dismissal(落榜) a little less painful for him. Well, sir, try to imagine the result. I felt shocked.

And 14________ we went to the battle field. And there –oh dear, it was terrible. Stupid mistakes, fearful mistakes – why, he never did anything that was right – nothing but 15________. But, you see, nobody knew the 16________ of how stupid he really was. Everybody carried out his mistaken instruction. He was so stupid that everyone 17________ his actions. They looked on his stupid mistakes as works of great intelligence. They 18________, honestly!Nobody else but me knew he was not normal or extremely stupid. His smallest mistakes made a man in his 19________ mind cry, and shout and scream painfully and angrily to himself, of course. And what 20________ me in a continuous fear was the fact that every mistake he made increased his glory and fame.I kept saying to myself that when at last they found outabout him, it will be like the sun falling out of the sky. He was really lucky!1. A. sooner or later B. more or less C. now and then D. over and over2. A. increase B. advise C. force D. make3. A. dreamed B. decided C. demanded D. doubted4.

高中英语素养阅读限时练习（高二上19）（附答案详细解析）（建议用时：40分钟）Every people has its own way of saying things, its own special expressions. Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.Americans often use red to express heat. They may say they are red-hot about something unfair; when they are red-hot they are very angry about something. The small hot tasting peppers(辣椒) found in many Mexican foods are called Red Hots for the color and their fiery taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say it is red hot. Especially the kind called Dixieland Jazz.Pink is a lighter kind of red. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the 20th century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.Blue is a cool color. The traditional Blues Music in the United States is the opposite of Red Hot Music. Blues is slow, sad, and sorrowful. Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous song Mood Indigo about the deep blue color indigo. In the words of the song, “You ain't been blue, till you've had that Mood Indigo.”The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has a sick feeling stomach may say she feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green. Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car; that person may say he is green with envy. Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the color of the backside of the paper money.The color black is used often in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day. The day of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day. A black list is illegal now, but at one time some businesses refused to employ people who are on a black list for belonging to unpopular organizations.In some cases, colors describe a situation. A Brownout is an expression for a reduction in electric power. Brownouts happen when there is too much demand for electricity.1. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. Red is a hot color.B.

APeople have been burying the dead at Salem's Hope Cemetery since 1833. Array The place is filled with old gravestones and gothic mausoleums(哥特式陵墓),the spirits of the dead hanging over the land like an early morning fog.Keeping watch, a few steps from the road with her skirt over the pedestal(基座), is Goldie Belle Taylor, her face weathered but otherwise ingood condition. On this day, she is holding a bunch of pink roses because Goldie Belle always holds flowers. Someone makes sure of that."And she has had fresh flowers in her hands for the last 150 years." Karen Biery lives in Damascus, about five miles west of Hope Cemetery. She's written a book based on the legend of Goldie Belle Taylor titled "Believe." In 1886, at the age of two, young Goldie Belle used her hands to sop up(抹去) the left over elderberry juice from her father's iron kettle. She died not long after from iron poisoning. She was the love of her dad’s life, and he was so upset that he sold the family farm to buy the Italian made statue, which today marks her grave.At first, it was her father who brought the flowers and laid them in her hands. When he died in 1896, the flowers kept coming. Her flowers are different per season. Why do the flowers keep miraculously appearing? People have tried to find out by having camped by the statue, but not even the groundskeepers have been able to catch the criminal.It’s said that a fairy who arrives at Hope Cemetery looking for the grave of her birth mother. She comes across Goldie Belle's statue.1. Th e underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ________ .A. her face in good conditionB. her bunch of pink rosesC. Goldie Belle Taylor is holding pink rosesD. Goldie Belle Taylor always holds flowers2. It can be inferred from the 3rd paragraph that ________ .A. her father was poisonousB. the iron kettle was poisonousC. elderberry juice was poisonousD. it was her father that hated her3. After her father died, the flowers in the hands of Goldie Belle Taylor ________ .A. usually changeB. were stolenC. are no longer freshD. come from a criminalBAntarctica(南极洲)’s melting ice, which has caused global sea levels to rise by at least 13.8 millimeters over the past 40 years, was thought to primarily come from the unstable West Antarctic Ice Sheet(WAIS). Now, scientists have found that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS)—considered largely unaffected by climate change—may also be melting at an unexpectedly rapid speed.The WAIS, whose base is below sea level, has long been considered the most likely to break down. Besides gravity, a deep current of warm water slips beneath the sheet, melting it frombelow until it becomes a floating shelf at risk of breaking away. In contrast, extreme cold and abase mostly above sea level are thought to keep the EAIS relatively safe from warm waters.But as greenhouse gases warm much of the planet, driving stronger polar winds, some scientists think warm water carried by a circular current will start to invade East Antarctica’s once unassailable ice. A cooperation of more than 60 scientists last year, published in Nature, estimated that the EAIS actually added about 5 billion tons of ice each year from 1992 to 2017.Eric Rignot of the University of California, Irvine, and colleagues combined 40 years of satellite imagery and climate modeling and found that overall Antarctica now sends six times more ice into the sea each year than it did in 1979, with the majority coming from West Antarctica. But East Antarctica was responsible for more than 30% of Antarctica’s contribution to the 13.8-millimeter sea level rise over the past 40 years. “The more we look at this system the more we realize this is fragile,” Rignot says. “Once these glaciers become unstable there is no red button to press to stop it.”Rignot hopes the study brings greater attention to a part of Antarctica that has traditionally been understudied. Helen Fricker, a glaciologist (冰川学家) in California, agrees. “We need to monitor the entire Antarctica and we just can’t do that without international cooperation.”4. What is the new finding of scientists?A.The east Antarctica is losing ice at an increasing rate.B. The west Antarctica is melting six times faster than in 1979.C. 5 billion tons of ice is added to Antarctica each year.D. The sea level has risen by 13.8 mm over the past 40 years.5. Which factor leads to the EAIS’s melting fast?A．A base mostly over sea level. B．The force of gravity.C．The invasion of a warm current. D．Extremely low temperature.6．Which of the following best explains “unassailable” underlined in Para. 3 ?A．Fragile. B．Unattackable. C．Mild. D．Unstable.7．Which way does Helen Fricker specially advocate?A．Satellite imagery. B．Global monitoring.C．Worldwide climate modeling. D．Worldwide combined efforts.CWatch out -- millions of Crocs are out walking the streets. Recently we stepped into the debate over the safety of Heelys and other roller shoes--shoes with wheels that deploy when a kid wants to roll. Now, following in the footsteps of that story of crocs, we look at another shoe that people seem to either love or hate. Crocs are made of a lightweight material that softens and forms to the foot. A company in Colorado started selling them in two thousand two. It says Croc shoes keep feet cool, are easy to clean and resist bacteria and terrible odor(气味).Traditional Crocs are kind of funny looking. They are big and in some cases brightly colored. The first ones were meant for boaters who needed shoes that would not slip on wet surfaces or mark boat decks(甲板). However, now some have the traditional back strap(带). Some do not. Some don’t look like the original Crocs at all. There are flip-flops and women’s dress flats.Some people report that Crocs helped their foot or back pain. Some doctors say the shoes are good because they are wide and don’t rub the feet. Others, though, say Crocs don’t provide enough support to wear for hours.Among the biggest fans are people who stand a lot in their jobs, like people who work in hospitals. Yet hospitals in some countries have been moving to ban Crocs. One concern is the riskof infection if blood from a sick patient falls on someone’s foot through Crocs with holes in the top. The company does make shoes without holes. But there are also questions about whether Crocs may attract static electricity which can interfere with medical equipment. The company has said it knows of no reason Crocs would act any different from sneakers and other footwear worn by medical professionals.1. The underlined word “them” in Para.1st probably refers to ________ .A. CrocsB. HeelysC. ShoesD. Streets2. Boaters like Crocs because they ________ .A. are traditionalB. look funnyC. are big and in some cases brightly coloredD. don’t slip on w et surfaces or mark boat decks3. It can be inferred from the 2nd paragraph that ________ .A. now there are many different crocsB. original Crocs are the same as current onesC. current crocs are designed for womenD. flip-flops are most popular with women4. Hospitals in some countries have been moving to ban Crocs in order to _______ .A. attract static electricityB. make crocs without holesC. avoid the danger of infectionD. prevent feet through Crocs with holesDAn estimated 135 million people have low vision. 40 to 45 million others cannot see at all. Health experts warn that the number of blind people will increase sharply as the world population grows, and grows older. They say the number of blind people could almost double by 2020.October ninth is World Sight Day. A campaign called Vision Twenty-twenty offers materials to help governments and health workers develop national plans to prevent blindness. Its goal is to finish curable blindness by 2020.Cataracts cause the lens of the eye to become cloudy. In most of Africa and Asia, cataracts cause at least half the cases of blindness that can be cured. A simple operation can remove cataracts. Trachoma is an infectious(传染性的) disease spread person-to-person and by insects. Trachoma causes about fifteen percent of all cases of blindness. Most of the cases are in Africa. It can be treated with antibiotic medicines and an operation to correct the damage. The disease known as river blindness is also found mostly in Africa. Flies spread the infection. A yearly treatment of the drug Mectizan can control the disease. Finally, a lack of vitamin A as a result of poor food is the leading cause of preventable blindness in children.Every five seconds, another person in the world goes blind. Most blind people live in developing nations. India has at least nine million. About six million are in China, and seven million in Africa. Officials estimate that the world economy loses about twenty-eight-thousand-million dollars each year from curable blindness. A resolution passed by the World Health Assembly in May urges all governments to develop national plans to preventblindness. You can learn more about Vision Twenty-twenty on the Internet at v-twenty-twenty dot o-r-g.1.

She is offering $10,000 to any of her friends who can introduce her to her Mr. Right. She wants to find her future husband through this way.The unnamed husband seeker who sent out the email had just finished reading the best-selling book named Lean In. It was 11 p.m. on a Sunday night and she realized this was the second self-help book she had read in the month. She was still single. Things were not looking fine, but there was hope for her still. If the book had taught her anything, it was that she needed to take a more positive role in finding love. After all, if she wanted to get a better job, she wouldn't just sit outside an employer's building and wait for someone to offer it to her, so why should finding a husband be any different? But instead of going out and meeting new people she decided to write an email to all her friends, offering to give them $10,000 on her wedding day if any of them managed to introduce her to her future husband.“I am writing you today because I've decided to make an aggressive action plan on finding the man that I get to hang out with forever,” the woman writes in her email. “Introducing me to my husband is just not high on your to-do list. But I think I have an idea that might change that…” You guessed it, and this is where she offers to reward her “closest friends” with cold hard cash.“I will personally give ten thousand dollars to the friend who introduces me to my husband.”Here is how the program works:Step 1: You set me up on a date with a man.Step 2: I marry that man.Step 3: I give you $10,000 on my wedding day.I know you're thinking that this is nuts. Just plain crazy. 'You can find a husband without giving $10,000.' Well for starters, thank you! I'm happy.”（1）What does the lady offer $10,000 to any of her friends for?A. Celebrating the fact that she has made a decision to find a husband.B. Checking the power of money among her circle of friends.C. Encouraging her friends to help find her Mr. Right.D.

To stress the importance of finding a good job.B. To stress the importance of taking a positive attitude.C. To show that waiting patiently is necessary to get a job.D. To state that we need to be patient before a job is offered.（4）What kind of person do you think the lady is?A. AdventurousB. ImaginativeC. ConsiderateD. Polite【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）B（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。

（英语）高二英语阅读理解试题( 有答案和解析 ) 及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解For top students from low-income families, the challenge of applying to colleges is particularly difficult. 1 in 4 deal with all of that—the writing, the studying, the researching and applying—completely on their own. One approach to make this whole process easier? Pair students up withan adviser.That's the idea behind CollegePoint, an initiative to help gifted students go to schools that match their intellectual(智力的)ability. When a high school student takes a standardized test—the PSAT,SAT or ACT——and they score in the 90th percentile, and their families make less than$80, 000 a year, they get an email from the program offering them a free adviser. The advisers listen, guide and answer students'questions.Connor Rechtzigel, an adviser in Minnesota, sees the importance of his role, for research shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don't think they have what it takes to get in and because many don't even know what schools are out there. He helped high school senior Justice Benjamin, the first in his family to apply to college, think about what his ideal learning experience was. Finally, Justice narrowed in on smaller schools where he could study environmental science and made his final choice ： Skidmore College in New York. He felt empowered by the process.Figuring out how to pay for college is a major part of what, CollegePoint advisers do. Nakhle,an adviser in North Carolina, is working with Hensley, an Ohio high school senior who can't get extra financial help from her family. They spent a lot of time comparing and analyzing herfinancial-aid award letters, which made her decision much clearer. Finally, the Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing. Staying in-state wasn't her first choice, but it was the best option for her.（1） What is the second paragraph mainly about?（2） What prevents low-income students from attending proper colleges?（3） Why did Hensley finally choose the Ohio State University?A.She didn't want to stay far from home.B.Her favorite major was provided there.C.She would show her talents to the full.D.The university met her financial needs.（4） What is the best title for the text?A.How to Be a Financial AdviserB.Steps for Top Students to Select Ideal CollegesC.Advisers Help Poor Students Apply to Suitable CollegesD.CollegePoint—a Program Helping Students Score High【答案】（ 1） A（2） B（3） D（4） C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一款帮助贫困家庭的优秀生申请合适大学的虚拟建议程序。

高中英语素养阅读限时练习（高二上9）（附答案详细解析）（建议用时：35分钟）I 阅读理解Robert Venturi is widely considered one of the top architectsat worktoday. He has all created important examples of modern architecture in verydifferent ways. You can see his creative contributions to modern design inbuildings around the world.His writings and buildings have helped redefine the path of modern architecture since the nineteen sixties. In nineteen forty-seven, in his free time as a child, he made small models of buildings out of pieces of wood. The Vanna Venturi house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was one of his first important projects. Venturi designed the house for his mother in nineteen sixty-two. He has said that the house is complicated and full of conflicts. For example, the house is small, but it has large details that make it seem big. And, the house is modern while also including details from traditional architecture.In his buildings and writings, Robert Venturi calls for a kind of modern architecture that shows the influences of history while also including popular culture. Robert, whose writings help begin what is often called the post-modern movement, rejects the kind of modern design that is pure and simple in favor of a modern look that is a mixture of styles and influences. Examples of his buildings include the addition to the National Gallery in London, England. Venturi designed this large building on Trafalgar Square as a more modern style of the museum's nineteenth century main building.

高中英语素养阅读限时练习（高二上20）（附答案详细解析）（建议用时：40分钟）I阅读理解It is the middle of the winter holiday shopping season in the United States. Stores are crowded with people buying gifts for family members and friends. One of the new gifts this year is an updated version of the board game Monopoly.The Parker Brothers company began selling Monopoly in nineteen thirty-five.

It would represent famous places in America. The company wanted help in choosing the properties that would appear on the board. So it asked Monopoly lovers to use their computers to vote for popular places in twenty-two cities. The votes also would decide where each place would appear on the board. The place with the largest number of votes would have the most important space on the board.Three million votes were counted to help develop the new game, called Monopoly Here and Now. These are some of the places in the new game: The White House in Washington, D.C. Wrigley Baseball Field in Chicago, Illinois. The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California. Las Vegas Boulevard in Las Vegas, Nevada. And, Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. New York City's Times Square received the most votes, so it occupies the highest rent property space on the new board.Monopoly Here and Now also has new and improved pieces that the players move around the board to play the game.

At the same time, stories about English settlers and Native Americans sharing a thanksgiving dinner together began appearing in books.Business interests carry the day. Then, in 1939, Thanksgiving changed. 5________ They also noted that the day after Thanksgiving marked the beginning of the winter holiday season. So business leaders asked then-President Franklin Roosevelt to move Thanksgiving a week earlier to permit an extra week of Christmas shopping.What does this story say about America?

11When a consumer(消费者) finds that something he or she bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to what the producer says for it, the first step is to present the warranty(保单)，or any other records that might help, at the store of buying. In most cases, this action produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain(投诉) directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes him or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’s favour, taking it as true that he or she has a just right.Consumer should complain in person whenever possible , but if they can not get to the place of buying, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can show clearly what is wrong with what was bought in question. If this can not done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “the left speaker does not work at all and the sand comi ng out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo(立体音响)—does not work.”The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer, if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the expected result, the consumer can go a step further. He or she can threaten(恐吓) to take the seller to court or report the seller to a public organization responsible for protecting consumer’s rights.1. If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem, it’s better to compl ain to ___________.A. a shop assistantB. the producerC. a public organizationD. the manager2.

According to the passage, the last way a consumer has to use is _____________.A. to write to the producerB. to quarrel with the manageC. to warn the seller that he or she will turn to the court or a consumers’ organization for helpD. to collect several fighters to threaten the seller。

The Airbus A380 will have 50 per cent more floor space than American rival Boeing’s 747 Jumbo, with room for duty-free shops, restaurants and even a sauna. This new arrival is expected to change the face of air travel.The A380 will enter service in early 2006 with Singapore Airlines.Airbus claims the A380 will burn less fuel, make less noise, create less pollution and cost 17 per cent less per seat than the 747. It will also reduce traffic problems in the skies.The aircraft, which cost between ￡140 million(US$250m) and ￡157 million (US$280m) each compared with ￡84 million (US$150m) for Boeing’s new Dreamliner jet, is being built at 16 factories in Germany, France, Spain and the UK.But activists have warned of more noise and pollution from the superjumbo, while Boeing believes huge aircraft will not be in great demand over the next decade.As a result, it is putting faith in the much smaller 7E7 Dreamliner. But Airbus is pinning its hopes on the “big is beautiful” theory, gambling on size being the key factor in the US-European battle for the skies.Airbus said it was in talks with half a dozen global airlines about buying the A380. China Eastern Airlines, already an Airbus customer, is said to be targeted, while executives made it plain that they wanted to fight for the Japanese market, which had traditionally been controlled by Boeing.Over the next 20 years, Airbus hopes to sell 750 of the new planes into a market worth ￡185billion (US$330bn). The company already has129 firm orders for the A380, with 52 options.4. According to Airbus, which of the following is not the advantage of A380 compared to Boeing 747?A.Making less noise, causing less traffic problemsing less fuel, costing less moneyC.Creating less pollution, having less weightD.Having more floor space, creating less pollution5.From the passage, we can infer that _________E.Airbus is not aiming at the Japanese market.F.Boeing is not a rival of Airbus.G.A380 hasn’t been used yet.H.Boeing is better than Airbus.6. In the Airbus A380, passengers cannot find ___________.A. duty-free shopsB. restaurantsC. banksD. a sauna7. According to the news, the prospect of A380 may be ___________.A. not so goodB. cheerfulC. undesirableD. gloomyCLegionnaires’ disease is a serious and sometimes fatal form of pneumonia. Legionnaires’ disease is caused by infection with Legionella bacteria which are found naturally in the environment and thrive in warm water and warm damp places. Man-made water systems sometimes provide environments that let Legionella bacteria increase to large numbers. These man-made systems include showers, spa pools, fountains, and air-conditioning cooling towers. People usually get Legionnaires’ disease by breathing in mists that come from a water source contaminated with Legionella bacteria.An estimated 8,000 to 18,000 people get Legionnaires’ disease in the United States each year. Some people can be infected with Legionella bacteria and have mild symptoms or no illness at all. Patients with Legionnaires’ disease usually have fever, chills, and a cough, which may be dry or may produce sputum. Some patients also have muscleaches, headache, tiredness, loss of appetite, and, occasionally, diarrhea. From the time of infection with Legionella bacteria, it takes 2~10 days for symptoms to appear. In most cases, symptoms begin after 5~6 days. Legionnaires’ disease is treated with antibiotics, such as erythromycin. The earlier that treatment is begun, the better the outcome.The first kno wn outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease was in Philadelphia, USA, in 1976. A total of 221 people contracted the disease and 34 died. Most of those that died were Legionnaires and that’s how the disease got its name. The second largest outbreak was at the Staf ford hospital in England in 1985; a total of 101 people contracted the disease and 28 died.8. Which of the following doesn’t belong to the symptoms of Legionnaires’ disease?A.Fever, chills, coughB.Muscleaches, headache, stomachacheC.Tiredness, loss of appetite.D.Fever, diarrhea, cough9. How many people are infected during the first and second largest outbreak of Legionnaires’disease?A. 322B. 62C. 356D. 38410. Legionnaires’ disease is more likely to happen in _________A. warm and hot waterB. warm and damp placesC. hot and damp placesD. dry warm water and places11. What does the passage tell us?A. How Legionnaires’ disease came into being.B. How Legionnaires’ disease got its name.C. The serious results of getting Legionnaires’ disease.D. Some general information about Legionnaires’ disease.DSo, you are going to Britain. “Oh no!” say your friends, “The food is terrible! What are you going to eat?” This was a common thing to say and perhaps it used to be true. English food was terrible!Traditionally, English food consisted of meat and two veg. That is to say a meal would be meat, either beef, pork or chicken and two vegetables. Of course, one of these was usually potatoes and the other might be peas or carrots. This was then covered in gravy, which is a meat sauce. Fish and chips is another traditional dish often eaten on Fridays. Quite simply it is fried fishserved with fried potatoes, or chips.Nowadays, however, all this has changed. A popular dish for many is “curry”, Indian food. India used to be a British colony(殖民地) , and many immigrants came to Britain from India in the 1950s. Naturally, they brought their customs and their food. This led to many Indian restaurants opening, and now it is possible to buy Indian food in any town. You can even buy the ingredients to make it in supermarkets. Indian food can be very hot and spicy(辛辣的) , so it may take time to get used to it. However, in a recent survey(调查), curry came out as the nation's favourite dish. Another common food in the UK is Italian. Pasta is served in many homes everyday, and you can order takeaway pizza everywhere you go.Of course, if you visit England from China , you won't have to go far to get Chinese food. Almost every town has a Chinese restaurant or takeaway. In big cities such as London you can visit Chinatown. Here there are dozens of Chinese restaurants and even Chinese supermarkets. Even the street names are written in both Chinese and English.One English dish that remains popular, however, is the traditional breakfast. This consists of bacon, sausage, egg, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and toast, with a large cup of tea. On a cold morning it is guaranteed to fill you up and keep you warm till lunchtime.12. What does the underlined “it” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?A. An Indian restaurantB. Indian foodC. An ingredientD. Curry13. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Nowadays food in England isn’t terrible because it isn't English food.B. It is true that now food in England is popular only because it is from China.C. On a cold morning some other traditional food besides breakfast is still popular today.D. Curry is the best food in Italian.14. Which of the following is NOT traditional food in England?A. Mushrooms, pork and sausageB. Beef, fish and chipsC. Toast, bacon, beans and tomatoesD. Curry and pizza15. What would be the best title for the text?A. English Food from around the WorldB.

（英语）高二英语阅读理解试题( 有答案和分析 )一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Education is not a bystanders sport. Numerous researchers have shown that when students participate in classroom discussion they hold more positive attitudes toward school, and that positive attitudes promote learning. It is no coincidence that girls are more passive in the classroom discussion and score lower than boys on SATs.We found that at all grade levels in all communities and in all subject areas boys controlled classroom communication. They participated in more interactions than girls did, and theirparticipation became greater as the year went on.Our research contradicted the traditional assumption that girls control classroom communicationin reading while boys in math. We found that whether the subject was language arts and English or math and science, boys got more than their fair share of teacher attention.That teachers talk more to male students is simply because boys are more aggressive ingrabbing their attention by calling out answers to the teachers' questions first. While girls sitpatiently with their hands raised or keep silent. Psychologist Lisa Serbin and K.Daniel O'Leary,then at the state university of New York at stony brook studied classroom interaction at preschoollevel and found that teachers gave boys more attention, praised them more often and were atleast twice as likely to have extended conversations with them.Years of experience have shown that the best way to learn something is to do it yourself. It is also important to give students specific and direct feedback about the quality of their work and answers. Teachers behave differently depending on whether boys or girls are active to provide answersduring discussions. During classroom discussion, teachers in our study reacted to boys answerswith powerful, precise and effective responses, while they often gave girls mild and unclearreactions because of their silence. Too often, girls remain in the dark about the quality of their answers. Active students receiving precise feedback are more likely to achieve academically. Andthey are more likely to be boys.This kind of communication game is played at work, as well as at school. As reported innumerous studies, it goes like this.Men speak more often and frequently interrupt women.Listeners recall more from male speakers than from female speakers, even when both use asimilar speaking style and cover the same content.Women participate less actively in conversation. They do more smiling and gazing, and they are more often the passive by standers in professional and social conversations among peers.Women often their own statements into unsure comments. This is accomplished by usingqualifiers and by adding tag question. These uncertain patterns weaken impact and signal a lackof power and influence.Only when girls are active and treated equally in the classroom will they be more likely toachieve equality in the workplace.”?（1） What does the authors mean when they say“Education is not a bystanders sport.A. Both boys and girls should do more sports.B. The girl students should be the audience towatch the boy students' discussions.C. The boy students should not be too active in the classroom discussions.D. Both boy and girl students should take an active part in the classroom discussions.（2） Which of the following is Not true?A. Girls' scores are lower than boys on SATs.B. Girls control classroom discussion in reading while boys in maths.C. Boys control classroom discussion in both reading and maths.D. Boys are more confident in calling out answers to catching the teachers' attention.（3 ） The factors that contribute to the students' effective learning are the followingexcept__________.A. The students can take an active part in the classroom discussionB. The students do it themselvesC. Teachers can give students specific and direct feedback the quality of their work and answersD.

高中英语素养阅读限时练习（高二上10）（附答案详细解析）（建议用时：35分钟）I 阅读理解Doctors in hospital emergency rooms often see accidental poisonings. Afrightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhapsthe harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a chemical product meant tokill insects. These are common causes of accidental poisoning.In cases like this, look for medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning. And look on the container for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison. Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it.In the past, some people forced poisoning victims to empty the stomach. They used a liquid, syrup of ipecac(催呕剂), to do this, but an organization of children's doctors no longer advises parents to keep syrup of ipecac. The American Academy of Pediatrics says that if people use this liquid, some poisons can cause additional damage when they come back up the throat.Millions of people know a way to save a person who is choking on something trapped in the throat. The method is commonly known as the Heimlich Maneuver or abdominal thrusts. The American Red Cross says a rescuer should first hit the person on the back five times between the shoulder bones. These back blows may ease the choking. If the airway is still blocked, the Red Cross suggests pushing hard five times along the victim's abdomen. The abdomen is the area between the chest and the hip(臀) bones. You can do these abdominal thrusts by getting directly behind a sitting or standing person. Put your arms around the victim's waist. Close one hand to form a ball. Place it over the upper part of the stomach, below the ribs. Place the other hand on top. Then push forcefully inward and upward. Repeat the abdominal thrusts until the object is expelled from the mouth.1. The underlined word “expelled” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”.A. preventedB. swallowedC. forcedD. chosen2. Why do we save the container of whatever caused the poisoning?A. To look for medical helpB. To look on itC. To use it to break the poisonD. To look for harmful information3. Why are parents advised not to keep syrup of ipecac?A. To keep the stomach empty.B. To keep the stomach full.C. To keep syrup of ipecac safe.D. To avoid more damage.4. The purpose of the last paragraph is to tell us about ________ .A. a way to prevent a person from chokingB. a way to cure chokingC. the abdominal thrustsD. the abdomenII 七选五阅读填句Vijay Gupta is known to classical music lovers across the United States.

（英语）高二英语阅读理解试题( 有答案和解析 ) 及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解For top students from low-income families, the challenge of applying to colleges is particularly difficult. 1 in 4 deal with all of that—the writing, the studying, the researching and applying—completely on their own. One approach to make this whole process easier? Pair students up withan adviser.That's the idea behind CollegePoint, an initiative to help gifted students go to schools that match their intellectual(智力的)ability. When a high school student takes a standardized test—the PSAT,SAT or ACT——and they score in the 90th percentile, and their families make less than$80, 000 a year, they get an email from the program offering them a free adviser. The advisers listen, guide and answer students'questions.Connor Rechtzigel, an adviser in Minnesota, sees the importance of his role, for research shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don't think they have what it takes to get in and because many don't even know what schools are out there. He helped high school senior Justice Benjamin, the first in his family to apply to college, think about what his ideal learning experience was. Finally, Justice narrowed in on smaller schools where he could study environmental science and made his final choice ： Skidmore College in New York. He felt empowered by the process.Figuring out how to pay for college is a major part of what, CollegePoint advisers do. Nakhle,an adviser in North Carolina, is working with Hensley, an Ohio high school senior who can't get extra financial help from her family. They spent a lot of time comparing and analyzing herfinancial-aid award letters, which made her decision much clearer. Finally, the Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing. Staying in-state wasn't her first choice, but it was the best option for her.（1） What is the second paragraph mainly about?（2） What prevents low-income students from attending proper colleges?（3） Why did Hensley finally choose the Ohio State University?A.She didn't want to stay far from home.B.Her favorite major was provided there.C.She would show her talents to the full.D.The university met her financial needs.（4） What is the best title for the text?A.How to Be a Financial AdviserB.Steps for Top Students to Select Ideal CollegesC.Advisers Help Poor Students Apply to Suitable CollegesD.CollegePoint—a Program Helping Students Score High【答案】（ 1） A（2） B（3） D（4） C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一款帮助贫困家庭的优秀生申请合适大学的虚拟建议程序。

高二英语阅读理解试题(有答案和解析)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解To fight for the conservation of forest ecosystem, several ecologists including Daniel Janzen convinced Del Oro, an orange juice producer, to donate part of their forestland to a national park. In return, Del Oro was allowed to throw large amounts of waste in the form of orange peels (皮) on a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park at no cost. Dealing with tons of leftover peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them poured into a landfill, so the proposal was very attractive.But a year later, another juice company challenged the deal in court, arguing that their competitor was “polluting a national park”. They ended up winning, and the deal between Del Oro and the national park fell through.Then in 2013, while discussing possible research avenues with Timothy Treuer, Daniel Janzen mentioned the orange story. Feeling interested, Treuer decided to stop by that piece of land that had been covered with fruit waste 15 years earlier. What he found shocked him.“While I would walk over exposed rock and dead grass in the nearby fields, I'd have to climb through undergrowth and cut paths through walls of vines (藤) in the orange peel site itself.” said Timothy Treuer.Treuer and his team spent months picking up samples (样品), analyzing and comparing them. They found great differences between the areas covered with orange peels and those that were not. The area with orange waste had richer soil.The effect that the orange peels had on the land is probably not that surprising to people familiar with composting (施肥), but what is really shocking is that a judge actually thought the waste of orange “mined” a national park and stopped it from going forward. Now that Timothy Treuer's study has received worldwide a ttention, this type of “ruining” is being seriously considered as a way of bringing forests back to life.（1）What did Del Oro usually do with orange peels?A. Add them to fuel.B. Throw them into a national park.C. Bum or bury them.D. Make them into cakes.（2）What can we know about the deal between Del Oro and the national park?A. It lasted 15 years.B. It was signed by Treuer.C. It was made in about 1998.D. It was broken by Del Oro.（3）What was Treuer's finding?A. Orange peels contain much fibre.B. Orange peels can make soil richer.C. Orange peels rot away in a short time.D. Orange waste ruined the national park.（4）What is the author's attitude toward the judge mentioned in the last paragraph? A. Disapproving. B. Positive. C. Worried. D. Admirable.【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）B（4）A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了橘子皮对土壤的积极作用。

最新高二英语阅读理解试题( 有答案和分析 )一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses claiming that it is easy and quick to learn English. There is even a reference to William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens to encourage learners even more. When I see advertisements like this, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. But many people must believe these ridiculous claims, or else the advertisements would not appear.Of course it is clear that students who go to England to learn English have a great advantage over others, but too many cannot afford to do so. Some go to the opposite extreme and thinkthey can teach themselves at home with dictionaries. But it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language, let alone produces good pronunciation and intonation.Most teaching is still based on behaviorist psychology. Behaviorists are fond of makingstudents repeat phrases and making sentences. If we were parrots or chimpanzees, these methods might be successful. A large number of theorists seem to think it is a pity we aren't, because it would make it easier to use their methods.In my personal opinion, no one can ever learn to speak English or any other language unless he is interested in it. Human beings, unlike parrots and chimpanzees, do not like making noises unless they understand what the noises mean and can relate them to their own lives. It is worth remembering that language is a means of communication. What they listen to and read cannot be a formula. It must be real.There is another relevant point worth mentioning here. We need other people to talk to andlisten to when we communicate. They can work with us and practice the unfamiliar forms with usin real situations, talking to each other about real life language.（1） Many people believe advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses probably because.A. they are encouraged by William Shakespeare or Charles DickensB. they are eager to learn and then believe themC. the ways advertised can help them to save time and effortsD. the ways advertised prove effective and helpful（2） What may behaviorists argue towards English learning?A. Human beings make more interesting noises than parrots and chimpanzees.B. Human beings should relate their speech to their own lives.C. Language is a formula with lots of repetitions and practices.D. Language is a means of communication.（3） What opinion does the author hold?A. A quick method that suits all the students does exist.B. English can be mastered within a very short period of time.C. Each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language.D. No one can learn English well without being interested in it.（4） What ways of learning is suggested by the author?A. Study abroad.B. Learn communicatively and situationally.C. Follow the behaviorists' approach.D. Teach oneself at home with dictionaries.【答案】（1） B（2） C（3） D（4） B【分析】【剖析】本文是一篇谈论文，叙述了一名语言教师对语言学习的个人见解。
