英语阅读理解强化训练附参考答案英语阅读理解强化训练1：When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly ad possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk(冒…危险)being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.“Storm chasing(追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby(喜好), especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frepuent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and wits for it to develop.Although anyone can do it , storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement . “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,”says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature, It is the greatest show on Earth.”56. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to .A. head straight for the center of the stormB. get into the car for safetyC. wait patiently for the storm to developD. collect information about a coming storm57. Beginners of storm chasing are advised .A. not to drive in a heavy rainB. to do it in an organized wayC. not to get too close to a stormD. to spend more time on it in summer58. By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that .A. storm chasing costs a lot of moneyB. storm chasing is worth hours of waitingC. efforts in storm chasing are well paidD. a storm presents the greatest show on Earth59. What can we learn from the text?A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointmentB. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world/D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.英语阅读理解强化训练参考答案：56.D 57.B 58.C 59.A英语阅读理解强化训练2：It is common to have difficulties sleeping during the day. Humans are naturally wired to sleep best at night and be awake during the day. However, modern work schedules require some people to try to accommodate the unnatural schedule of shift(轮班)work — being awake at night and sleeping during the day.In order to make this adjustment, you need to pay special attention to your sleep environment and your preparation for sleep. If shift work is a necessary part of your work life, here are some suggestions that may help.Arrange to sleep uninterrupted in a quiet, dark room. This means you may have to turn off or unplug your phone, hang darkening curtains on the windows or wear a sleep eye mask, and train your family and friends to leave you alone while you sleep.Fit in a nap(小睡). When your daytime sleep period is too short, taking a short nap of less than 30 minutes just before work or on a break has been shown to improve alertness and enhance performance.Develop and follow a sleep routine. Its best if you go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. Try not to vary this too much on weekends. Your body likes routine.Take extra care to make healthy choices. You may be tempted to reach for unhealthy foods or nicotine to stay awake or alcohol to try to sleep. But ultimately these choices are more harmful than helpful.If you have tried all these things and are still having problems getting enough quality sleep during the day, talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist. Sometimes medications(药物治疗)may be helpful and safe. In other cases, there may be an underlying sleep disorder that needs to be addressed.72.The purpose of the text is to .A.persuade workers to have a god sleep.B.advise night workers to keep healthyC.encourage workers to do day workD.help night workers to sleep well73.What does the author recomusend?A.A suitable account of alcohol to help sleep.B.A regular life on weekdays and weekends.C.A dark room without phoebes to sleep in.D.A break for sleeping anytime during the day.74.On which condition should a person turn to a sleep specialist for help?A.If he suffers from a sleep disorder for the first time.B.If a good sleep environment is greatly needed for him.C.If he falls to get quality sleep through his own efforts.D.If he has the problem of bailing to sleep in the daytime.75.We can learn from the test that .A.night workers need a long time to fall asleepB.constant breaks at work help to improve performanceC.it is difficult to create a good sleep environmentD.night work requires people to adjust their body clocks英语阅读理解强化训练参考答案：72—75 DBCD。

九年级专项练习—阅读理解(1)ALast year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke so quickly that I did not understand her most of the time. I was afraid to ask questions because of my poor pronunciation. I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So I began to watch other English movies, too. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation improved as well by listening to the conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something intere sting is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right”. I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked them up in a dictionary.Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar so that I can have a better understanding of English movies.1. Someone who ______ will most possibly be interested in this passage.A. wants to study abroadB. wants to watch English moviesC. is poor in his English studyD. is learning to use an English dictionary2. What is the best way to learn English well according to the writer?A. Listening to something interesting.B. Remembering many useful sentences.C. Asking teachers questions in class.D. Learning more words and grammar.3. Which is the best title for this passage?A. The ways to learn English wellB. How I learned to learn EnglishC. Why I love watching English moviesD. The secret to improve pronunciationBWhen I was little, I loved picture books. Even if my parents didn’t have time to read the story for me, I could look at the pictures and follow the story. Then I moved on to comic books with their exciting stories of superheroes and, later, to novels. I forgot all about picture books and how wonderful they are.Last week though, my friend gave me A Fish with a Smile by Jimmy Liao, a writer who makes picture books for older readers. I found the story about a thoughtful man and his pet fish very meaningful. I also thought the pictures were beautiful. Now I’ve become a fan of picture books all over again.Jimmy Liao is one of Asia’s most famous picture book writers and has had best-sellers at home and abroad. I just finished reading one of his most popular books, Turn left, Turn right. The book is about a man and a woman who meet by chance in a park. The woman scribbles down her phone number, but the rain washes it away and they never find each other again. The story touches your heart because the two characters never realize that they are neighbors.Jimmy Liao’s pictures are often funny and cute. He included a rabbit in his book, Secrets in the Woods and the rabbits has re-appeared in his books ever since, partly because readers liked it so much. However, his stories can also be serious. They show what it’s like to feel alone in the city, fear(恐惧) of losing your job or someone you love.I think this is why Jimmy Liao’s career has been so popular.4. According to Paragraph 1, the writer ______.A. used to like comic booksB. found books with no pictures boringC. does not like reading novelsD. thinks picture books are for children5. According to the passage, Turn left, turn right can be described a(an) ______ story.A. funnyB. lovingC. boringD. exciting6. The underlined word “scribbles” in Paragraph 3 is probably close to ______.A. writesB. turnsC. looksD. speaks7. According to the passage, the topics of Liao’s work are mentioned except ______.A. fearB. lonelinessC. funD. courageCHave you ever noticed that aside from the furniture and decoration, many people’s homes seem almost the same? Well, some people have had enough of that and prefer to live in homes that are being the only one of its kind.Some people want homes that are environmentally friendly. Earthships, for example, are made from mud(泥) and materials that would be bottles. Many use wind or the energy from the sun, collect and recycle water, and have a greenhouse in which to grow food. The Phooenix Earthship in the US is a place which can be used as a holiday accommodation, so if you want to try it out, you can.Shipping containers(集装箱) are now being reused to make another kind of environmentally friendly home. They can be used for a small holiday house in the country or connected to make coffee blocks, such as those at Container City in London, England.Other people are interested in homes that look different, like the Steel(钢铁) House in Texas, USA. As you can tell by its name, it is made out of steel. The designer, Robert Bruno, makes it look like cross between a machine and an animal.Especially in crowded areas like Hong Kang, many people want a home that makes the most of space. Artist Gray Chang has achieved this. He found a clever way of using walls which can be moved and fold-down(折叠) items like tables and a bed to change his tiny flat into a home with twenty-four possible rooms.Seeing all of these examples of imaginative homes, what would you like to do to make your own home as a special place to live?8. Earthships are made from ______.A. old shipsB. shipping containersC. recycled materialsD. moving walls9. Gray Chang changed his room because he______.A. wanted more roomsB. thought it was crowdedC. had too much furnitureD. found a way to move walls10. All of the homes mentioned in the article are _____ in common.A. expensive to buildB. strange-lookingC. good for the environmentD. unusual places to live11. The writer explains “the homes that are being the only one of its kind” by _____.A. describing a planB. telling storiesC. using examplesD. following time orderDShe was maybe six years old, smiling in a white dress. She walked up to my son and planted herself in front of his wheelchair(轮椅). And then, without taking her eyes from his face, she said,“I feel sorry for him.”I felt it more than I heard it. Deep in my stomach, where I keep all my sadness, I felt it like a kick in the ribs(肋骨).Children ask all kinds of questions about my son. “Why is he in that?”“Why can’t he walk?” “What’s wrong with him?” But questions are easy. For children, questions always have answers.“I feel sorry for him” is not a question. It is a statement of fact. I know there are many people who feel the same. Many people who see my son, they feel sorry. They feel sad. But adults know how to hide. We know what not to say. This little girl was a leak(漏洞) in the system, which tells me my son’s wheelchair is “very sad”, tells me he is a “poor thing”, prefers to see people like my son as recipients of charity(慈善救助对象), rather than seeing them as neighbors, classmates, teachers, and friends.So I stood there and I realized I am very small. I am only one person.Then last week, sitting by the pool with my husband and my little boy, I heard it again. This time it’s from a teen, maybe 19-year-old. He had seen us there a few times. Today he had a girl with him. “Something’s wrong with that kid,” he whispered to her, “Did you see his back? He can’t walk. So sad…” I felt it more than I heard it. And _________. Her agreement.“Nothing sad about it,” she said, looking at my son with so much kindness. “My brother wa s in the Special Olympics. That kid is cute.”I closed my eyes to keep from crying. I wanted to hug her. I wanted to tell her how lovely she is. More than anything, I wanted to thank her for reminding me that I am not the only one who sees my son for who he is. I am only one person, but I am not alone.12. What happened to the writer’s son?A. He fell off the tree.B. He couldn’t walk.C. He had a car accident.D. He wasn’t able to talk.13. How did the writer feel when she heard what the little girl said?A. Sorry.B. Boring.C. Thankful.D. Hopeless.14. Which of the following is the best expression to fill in the blank in the passage?A. she looked at my son with kindness.B. she seemed she knew me quite well.C. I put my head down waiting for her reply.D. I didn’t know how to answer her question.15. After hearing the young lady’s words, the writer ______.A. felt few people could understand her and her sonB. believed some people could see her son as a normal oneC. thought the girl’s brother had the same disease like her sonD. thanked for what the young lady had done for her and her son答案：1. C2. A3. B4. A5. B6. A7. D8. C9. B10. D 11. C 12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B。

They say more Americans need to take a nap—that is to rest for a short period in the middle of the day. They give people advice to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities. The experts say naps might improve health by reducing pressure.Some European and Latin American companies have supported the idea of napping for many years. They ask people to leave work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States, some companies let workers rest simply in their offices. They believe this can help workers make fewer mistakes and also increase the amount of work that a person can do.Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times. They say people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy. And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap. About twenty minutes of rest is all you need. Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your effects until the end of the day. But experts said that a nap should last no more than twenty to thirty minutes.

It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, genes (基因) and aging (老化). Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while.Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UVrays.Eating healthy foods will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight too. If a person exercises regularly (定期地) and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person’s eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.1. ___________ is the most important way to protect our eyes.A. Taking medicineB. Natural eye careC. Seeing the doctorD.

She hardly gets angry with others and is always happy. So she is in good health. I think her reason for long life is drinking milk every day and trying to be happy,” said her granddaughter (孙女).Her doctor, Dr. Perls, said another reason for Ray’s long life is her genes (基因). She got them from her parents. He said, “These genes can keep you in good health and let you live longer. People can usually live to about 80 years old. Those with the right genes can live to more than 100 years. They also pass those genes to their children. So if a person’s parents live long, he or she will probably live long, too.” Dr. Perls also said, “You may not have those genes. But if you don’t smoke, don’t drink too much, and do exercise or do other things to relax, you still can live long.”1.

阅读强化训练(一)[学生用书P141(单独成册)](建议用时：15分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解Friends are very important in our lives.Everyone needs friends.Ifyou don’t have friends，you’ll feel lonely.However，some people don’t try to build the friendships they’d like to have.Why?Some people don’t build friendships because they think they haveno time for that.Today many people live a very busy life，so it’s not strange that some people don’t think they have time for friendships.However，this is wrong.You should know that if you really want to do something，you can spare time for it，no matter how busy you are.My friend Tom used to think he had no time to build friendships.He was working almost all the time.However，one day，he realized that he didn’t have any friends in the city and became scared.He didn’t want to be lonely in the future.He decided to make a change.He didn’t bring home as much work as before.Instead，he went to a gym and started working out there.He not only became healthier，but also made some friends there.Some people don’t try to make friends because the idea of making new friends is scary to them.They’re afraid people will refuse to make friends with them.If someone does reject to make friends with you，it doesn’t mean that you’re useless or unlovable.Maybe they’re having a bad day.Ma ybe they don’t know you well.Or maybe they’re not a nice person.If you’ve been turned down by someone before，don’t think others will do the same to you.My friend David was afraid of making new friends，too，because he didn’t want to be turned down by others.But later he found some people were really nice. Slowly he made some good friends.Now he is no longer afraid of talking to new people and believes he can make more friends.So all you have to do is to believe you’ll make more friends and spare time for it.【解题导语】朋友对于我们每一个人来说都很重要，所以我们要去交一些朋友。

高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 199Passage 1The next time you need to get somewhere, you may be able to follow your nose. A study has found that a strong sense of smell is associated with a strong sense of direction.Researchers conducted an experiment at McGill University in Canada. Fifty-seven adults were invited to participate in a virtual"way-finding task"in which they had to make their way around a virtual environment. They were given 20 minutes to learn about the virtual city. After having passed by each of eight landmarks at least twice, the participants were placed in front of one of the landmarks and asked to find the most direct route to one assigned by the researchers.The participants also smelled 40 scented（有香气的）pens one at a time. After a brief sniff, the participants chose one word that best identified the smell from four words on a screen.An additional exercise used a virtual maze（迷宫）to determine if the participants were more likely to rely on landmarks to find the way or if they used a more habit-based method built over time as people travelled the same route over and over again.What the researchers found was that those with the ability to correctly identify the smells of the pens also had the easiest time performing the way-finding task by way of landmarks. A strong sense of smell was not identified in the participants who used the more habit-based method.The connection between the sense of smell and way-finding likely came about as a result of the evolution of the nervous system. The original function of the sense ofsmell in humans may have been intended to support our spatial memory.Keep that in mind the next time you get lost going to the dentist. It won't prevent you from getting horribly lost, but it's good food for thought along the way.1. How did the researchers carry out the study?A. By using typical landmarks in a real city.B. By combining virtual tests with real-life tests.C. By testing different senses in a virtual environment.D. By collecting routine observation data from the participants.2. What were the participants asked to do after they smelled a scented pen?A. Decide whether they liked the smell.B. Use a sentence to describe the smell.C. Choose a suitable word for the smell.D. Find the landmark that featured the smell.3. Which of the following factors is better related to a strong sense of direction according to paragraph 5?A. The way of using landmarks.B. More experience in describing things.C. Quick adjustment to the virtual world.D. A more habit-based way-finding method.4. The meaning of the word "spatial" underlined in Paragraph 6 relates to _____.A. the situationB. the positionC. the spiritD. the timePassage 2The saying “a penny for your thoughts” is an English idiom simply asking people to volunteer their opinions on an issue being discussed. In modern usage, it is often stated as an indirect way of asking what someone is thinking about.This phrase is basically a proposal (提议), and the speaker is offering to pay to hear the listener’s thoughts. It is an idiom, of course, and not meant literally (字面上的) so no real payment generally takes place.When the saying originated, a penny was worth a lot more than it is in the 21st century. Therefore, “a penny for your thoughts” likely indicated the thoughts were more valuable to those asking the listener for them than they are by today’s standards. This loss of value can be used ironically(讽刺地), however, through tone(语气) of voice; it can be used to indicate that someone’s idea is bad or worth a penny in modern value.The phrase is generally credited to a man by the name of John Heywood, who was born sometime just before the 16th century. During his life, he was a writer who penned many plays and a book in 1546, later known as The Proverbs of John Heywood. It is likely Heywood did not actually come up with the phrase “a penny for your thoughts”. Rather, he was simply the first person to have set the phrase down in written form. The actual origins of the term are unknown, and since his book was simply a collection of common idioms and expressions, it was probably familiar to people in the mid 1500s.Another phrase similar to “a penny for your thoughts” is offering “your two cents” after making a statement. Someone might give his or her opinion and then say, “that’s my two cents,” to indicate the value of his or her idea. While, much like a penny, “twocents” is relatively low in value now, it would have been more valuable at one time and the expression is used in much the same way.1. When someone says “a penny for your thoughts”, he or she ___________.A. wants to ask you for adviceB. considers your thoughts uniqueC. is curious about what’s on your mindD. will pay for what you’re thinking about2. The modern meaning of “a penny for your thoughts” ____________.A. is more closely connected to the value of the pennyB. can differ greatly according to a speaker’s mannerC. can confuse the listener easilyD. is more popularly accepted3. In what way is Heywood related to the phrase “a penny for your thoughts”?A. He came up with it while he was writing.B. He helps to explain the origins of it.C. He contributed to the wide use of it.D. He was the first person to use it.4. What do we know about the phrase “your two cents”?A. It is usually used at the end of a statement.B. It comes from “a penny for your thoughts”.C. It has witnessed some changes since the 16th century.D. It is more familiar to people than “a penny for your thoughts”.Passage 3“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, if we drink a little more water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often. A healthy diet is made up of water and a great many different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they provide us with energy and fiber, without giving us too much fat and sugar. But why is water important?The human body needs water to survive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. However, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small amount we need to stay alive.Some doctors believe that water is important for our health in all kinds of ways. They believe that a great many illnesses and health problems appear as a result of dehydration—a lack (缺少) of water in the body. Most people are dehydrated at least some of time, although they probably don’t know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first stages of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure and asthma could be helped if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are overweight. Water contains no calories so it will not make us put on weight. If we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks such as Coca-cola. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink morewater.There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop going to seeing the doctor completely. However, if we make a decision to drink water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often.1. We need ________ for a healthy diet.A. fibreB. water and different foodsC. waterD. food2. From the text, we know water can carry ________ .A. energy and fibre in our bodiesB. fruit, vegetables and fish in our bodiesC. poisons and waste out of our bodiesD. sugar and fat out of our bodies3. Lack of water caused people to put on weight too much because ________ .A. it makes them hungryB. they think they are thirsty and eat lessC. water has no caloriesD. they think they are hungry and eat too much4. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage? ________A. The amount of water a person should drink in a day.B. Some healthy problems start because of a lack of water.C. Drinking more water may stop people from overeating.D. Fruit provides us with energy and fibre.Passage 4The moving truck with furniture was parked in front of our Southern California home. My husband and I were sweeping out the open garage when a woman from a house across the street came up to us with an apple pie. "Welcome to the neighbourhood, " she said. "I made it myself and I want you to have it. ""Really, we can't, " my husband replied. "Of course you can, " she ran on. "When I moved in two years ago no one welcomed me, and I want you to feel at home. " She thrust（塞）the pie into my husband's hands. "Uh, well, you see, " he said, with a disappointed laugh, "we have been here four years and we're moving. "The woman stared at him, dumbfounded（目瞪口呆）, with her mouth open. "Well, " she said, shrugging（耸肩）her shoulders with an air of resignation（顺从）, "Enjoy it anyway！"My husband and I laughed heartily, determining in the future to be better neighbours ourselves.1. The woman came up to us because________ .A. she wanted to see us offB. she wanted to see our furnitureC. she wanted to sell her pie to usD. she thought we had just arrived here2. The sentence "Really, we can't" exactly means________ .A. neither the writer nor her husband could accept the apple pieB. we didn't like eating the apple pieC. we were so busy that we had no time to eat itD. we are full. We needn't eat it3. The phrase "feel at home" in the passage probably means________ .A. live at homeB. feel comfortableC. help oneself to itD. be brave4. From the passage, we know personal relationship in Western countries is________ .A. importantB. valuableC. necessaryD. hardly thinkablePassage 5It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food. Cherie Blair, the wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?JapanHigh schools have canteens, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles and vegetables.Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition value. Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food. The class with the fewest leftovers at the end of the month receives a prize.United StatesA typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken, lettuce and pickles, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary allowances (定量) of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium and calories.AustraliaMeat pies, sausage rolls and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the nation pays more attention to children's health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus.Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red-labelled foods, including pastries, chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labelled foods such as sushi, sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however, are available every day.In some schools, students have a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from, including popcorn and rice.South AfricaMost of South Africa's schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at 1:30 p. m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.Fast food and fried food sell the best among students, which has led to a rise in obesity among children. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases, some schools in towns have led the way towards betternutrition (营养). Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbages, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.1. We can infer from the text that ________ .A. many schools in Australia have traffic lights outside their schoolB. most students in South Africa eat their lunch at homeC. a typical menu from a US school has enough nutritionD. you can have whatever you like in school canteens in Japan2. What does the underlined word "obesity" in the last paragraph probably mean? ________A. FightingB. OverweightC. Food shortageD. Sadness3. What is the main idea of the text? ________A. Schools should try to satisfy the needs of students.B. School children all over the world dislike their school food.C. Food served in the US is the best of all.D. Schools serve different foods from country to country.4. The text is written for ________ .A. students of your ageB. schoolmastersC. school lunch sellersD. parents参考答案Passage 11. B细节理解题。

英语四级阅读理解强化练习及答案英语四级阅读理解强化练习1：Acculturation, which begins at birth, is the process of teaching new generations of children the customs and values of the parents culture. How people treat newborns, for example, can be indicative of cultural values. In the United States it is not uncommon for parents to put a newborn in a separate room that belongs only to the child. This helps to preserve parents privacy and allows the child to get used to having his or her own room, which is seen as a first step toward personal independence. Americans traditionally have held independence and a closely related value, individualism, in high esteem. Parents try to instill these prevailing values in their children. American English expresses these value preferences: children should "cut the (umbilical) cord" and are encouraged not to be "tied to their mothers apron strings." In the process of their socialization children learn to "look out for number one" and to "stand on their own two feet".Many children are taught at a very early age to make decisions and be responsible for their actions. Often children work for money outside the home as a first step to establishing autonomy. Nine-or ten-year-old children may deliver newspapers in their neighborhoods and save or spend their earnings. Teenagers (13 to 18 years) may baby-sit neighbors homes in order to earn a few dollar a week. Receiving a weekly allowance at an early age teaches children to budget their money, preparing them forfuture financial independence. Many parents believe that managing money helps children learn responsibility as well as appreciate the value of money.21. According to this passage, the way people treat newborns _____.A) is a sign of their customsB) is an indication of their level of knowledgeC) symbolizes their social systemD) varies from culture to culture22. The expression, "to cut the cord", is used to show that _____.A) children dont like their parentsB) parents dont feel close to their childrenC) parents would not like to live together with their childrenD) independence from ones family is an important personal goal in USA23. Children who are "tied to the apron strings" _____.A) are caught in their mothers apronsB) must always wear an apron when they eatC) are very dependent on their mothersD) are independent from their parents24. American people often let their children work for money outside the home at a very early age because _____.A) children have to earn money to help the familyB) they need more moneyC) they want them to begin establishing autonomyD) children have to save money for future use25. It can be inferred from this passage that _____.A) Americans are money loversB) Americans admire independenceC) Americans are good at decision-makingD) Americans are all responsible英语四级阅读理解强化练习答案：ADCCB英语四级阅读理解强化练习2：Many people believe that the glare from snow causes snowblindness. Yet, dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snowblindness, when exposed to several hours of "snow light".The United States Army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snowblindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a mans eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of barren snow-covered terrain. So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature offsets this irritation byproducing more and more fluid which covers the eyeballs. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until vision blurs, then is obscured, and the result is total, even though temporary, snowblindness.Experiments led to the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of a main body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop scouring the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a solid white terrain is overcome.26. To prevent headache, watering eyes and blindness caused by the glare from snow, dark glasses are _____.A) indispensableB) usefulC) ineffectiveD) available27. When the eyes are sore tears are produced to _____.A) clear the visionB) remedy snowblindnessC) ease the irritationD) loosen the muscles28. Snowblindness may be avoided by _____.A) concentrating on the solid white terrainB) searching for something to look at in snow-covered terrainC) providing the eyes with something to focus onD) covering the eyeballs with fluid29. The eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache because _____.A) tears cover the eyeballsB) the eyes are irritated by blinding sunlightC) the eyes are irritated by blinding snowD) there is nothing to focus on30. A suitable title for the passage would be _____.A) Snowblindness and How to Overcome ItB) Natures Cure for SnowblindnessC) Soldiers in the SnowD) Snow Vision英语四级阅读理解强化练习答案：CCCDA。
