北京市第四中学新高考——英语阅读理解专项训练专项练习附解析一、高考英语阅读理解专项训练1．阅读理解Imagine a school where self-awareness is celebrated, students are encouraged to solve maths problems by writing on the walls and applying learned lessons to real life is more important than homework. These are a few of the concepts that makes Space of Mind School unique.Located in a home built in 1896 in Florida, US, the program serves students in grades 2 through 12 and will accept kindergarten students next year. It also offers an after-school program for students who attend traditional schools, as well as evening programs for adults and educators and weekend events for families.There is a different atmosphere from that of a traditional school building. Tables and brightly colored walls are white boards. In the science room, students are studying climate changes at a weather station, while in the music room, a student is solving an equation (等式) with his academic coach while he connects music theory and maths.The daily schedule at the school also stands out. "We don't assign boring or exhausting homework." said Space of Mind founder and CEO Ali Kaufman. "Instead of homework, we ask that they go home and take a video of themselves applying a lesson they learned or cooking a meal for their family that they learned how to make at school."For lunch, instead of traditional cafeteria dishes such as pizza, the school offers organic meals made out of products from local gardens and farms. "Our students also run a business at the Delray Beach Green Market on Saturdays so they can understand sustainable living practices and how to run a business," Kafman said." We are also the first school program in Florida to start and end each day with 15 minutes of meditation (冥想)," Kaufman said. "The positive results we have been seeing in the students from meditation are amazing. We are really about infusing social, emotional and creative skills with academic and life skills."（1）Space of Mind School_________.A. assigns no homework.B. urges students to use what they learn.C. teaches students to earn money in class.D. focuses on knowledge learning.（2）What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Yoga enjoys great popularity in US.B. The practice of meditation is amazing.C. The meditation session lasts 15 minutes daily.D. The students benefit from meditation.（3）The underlined word "infusing" in the last paragraph probably means______.A. emphasizingB. checkingC. developingD. helping（4）What is the text mainly about?A. What makes Space of Mind School outstanding.B. Why Space of Mind School is popular in US.C. How the after-class programs of space of Mind School are organized.D. How Space of Mind School cultivates students' life skills.【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）C（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了Space of Mind School一些独特的理念和做法。

北京市第四中学最新高考英语阅读理解精选含答案一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解While small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems, particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants. Beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. The average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged."The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 6′6″ (6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 6′3″ bed caters for less than half of the male population." Said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy, "seven-foot beds would work fine."Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.Some ha ve already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses′ Caledoman Hotel in Edinburgh, 6′6″ beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly Americans.（1）What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?A. To provide better services.B. To rebuild hotels and restaurants.C. To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.D. To attract more people to become its members.（2）Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy? A. 7′2″. B. 7′ C. 6′6″ D. 6′3″（3）What may happen to restaurants with small tables?A. They may lose some customers.B. They may start businesses elsewhere.C. They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.D. They have to provide enough space for the long-legged.（4）What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh?A. Tall people pay more for larger beds.B. 6′6″beds have taken the place of 6′3″beds.C. Special rooms are kept for Americans.D. Guest rooms are standardized.【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述一个英国的高个子组织TPCGP在六个月以前向宾馆和酒店发起的针对高个子的一些特殊需求的活动。

Scientists in UK have grown a living human "brain". The team at Aston Universitycreated tiny bunch of cells which act like a mini nervous system.They believe it could help find a cure for worse mental conditions like Parkinson’s disease. Professor Michael Coleman is leading the research program. He explained, "We are aiming to be able to study the human brain at the most basic level, using an actual living human cell system. Cells have to be alive and operating efficiently to enable us to really understand how the brain works. "The experiment involves changing cells from a cancer tumour (肿瘤）and making them behave like brain cells.Although far from finished, researchers hope the false brain cells will give them a greater understanding of how real brains work. This, in turn, could significantly further research into conditions which affect the brain. Neil Hunt, chief leader of the research group, said, "It is still very early days, but in the future the research could lead to a useful tool for looking into dementia (痴呆)."The technique could also provide a way to carry on animal test and is being supported by the Humane Research Trust (HRT). The scientists predict that over the next ten years a million people will develop dementia. Professor Coleman believes their findings could change this. He said，"We hope our research will provide scientists with a new and highly relational human experimental model to help them understand the brain better and develop new drugs to control the related disease. However, the biggest challenge at present is that we are greatly short of fund, which will slow our research."1. UK scientists grow a living human "brain" in order to ______.A. study the structure of human brainB. make use of living human cell systemC. discover how human brain really worksD. separate cells from a cancer tumour2. According to Neil Hunt, research into brain cells ______.A. will get finished as early as possibleB. will make people discover dementiaC. will affect the brain growth in many waysD. will help to treat some diseases in nerve system3. From the last paragraph，we can know that ______A. the technique provided by HRT is immatureB. animal tests are no longer allowed by lawC. a million people suffer from brain diseasesD. the research program lacks financial support4. The text is intended to ______.A. tell us about a breakthrough in medical researchB. introduce a research program in human's brainC. introduce the progress of drugs for dementiaD. tell us about health problem in nerve system【参考答案】1—4、CDDB阅读理解。
Imagine，one day，getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours，and then，after a full day of work，going back home to Beijing and having dinner there．Sounds unusual，doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic，with the development of China’s high—speed railway system．And that’s not a11．China has an even greater high—speed railway plan—to connect the country with Southeast Asia，and eventually Eastern Europe．China is negotiating to extend its own high·-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 1 0 to 15 years，eventually reaching London and Singapore．China has proposed three such projects．The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia．Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan，and possibly to Germany．The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe．If China’s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward，people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days．The new system would still follow China’s high—speed railway standard．And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour，almost as fast as some airplanes．China’s bullet train(高速客车)，the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou，already has the World’s fastest average speed．It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours．Of course，there are some technical challenges to overcome．There are so many issues that need to be settled，such as safety，rail gauge(轨距)，maintenance of railway tracks．So，it’s important to pay attention to every detail．But the key issue is really money．China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion．China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment．Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development．It’11 be a win-win project. For other countries，the railway network willdefinitely create more opportunities for business，tourism and so on，not to mention the better communication among those countries．For China，such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources，but would also help develop China’s far west．We foresee that in the coming decades，millions of people will migrate to the western regions，where the land is empty and resources unused．With high-speed trains，people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for a11．And they’11 trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries．( ) 1. China’s new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because ．A. China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regionsB. China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various waysC. China will develop its railway system and communication with other countriesD. the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation，business and tourism选B在文章倒数第二段中有明确答案( ) 2. According to the passage，the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is ．A. technical issuesB. safety of the systemw_w w.C. financial problemsD. maintenance of railway tracks选C . 在文章第8段看到 There are so many issues that need to be settled...及第9节中 But the key issue is really money( ) 3. Wh ich of the following words best describes the author’s attitude towards China’s high-speed railway plan?A. Critical．B. Reserved．C. DoubtfulD. Positive．选D . 尽管在文章第8，9段中提到存在的问题，但从最后两段中不难看出作者是持支持的态度( ) 4. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. New Railway StandardsB. Big Railway DreamsC. High—speed Bullet TrainsD. International Railway Network选B. 贯穿全文须知这只是一个梦想第12组阅读理解-----AStudents and Technology in the ClassroomI love my blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer ，as it holds all of my writing and thought .Despite this love of technology ,I know that there are times when I need to move away from these device and truly communication with others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas .Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom ,I have a rule —no laptop, iPods, phones ,etc .When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy .Most students assume that year reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past w ith students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas.
