外研版高中英语必修一《阅读理解》专项练习题（含答案）Graham and his friends preferred to shoot up in their arms, necks and legs. A dealer once said Graham was the type who would never be able to turn back and that he expected him to die from the drug. Wendy feared the same, but di dn’t know how to save her son. “ Once, after he’d disappeared for more than a month, I found him at a friend’s house with a bunch of other users,” she said, “I got down on my hands and knees, begging him to come home. He did, but the next morning he was go ne. I don’t know what made him do it, but I drove 20 miles to the nearest train station. Graham was headed for Seattle, his pockets full of drugs. If I hadn’t gotten there in time, I would never have seen him alive again.”The turning point came in 2007, after Graham was arrested yet again for possession. Wendy got a call from the Montana Drugs Project, which works with local law enforcement（强制执行）to keep track of youth-related crimes so it can help families in trouble. Following a counselor’s advice, Wendy hired two men to come to her home in the middle of the night, tie Graham and take him to a treatment program in Thompson Falls, Montana. “I was high when they came and really angry with my mom,” he said, “But if she hadn’t done that, drugs would have killed me.” After six months of treatment, Graham, now 19, came back to Kalispell, where he’s grown close to Wendy once again. “I still have the desires every day and attend support meetings every night,” he said, “But life is worth living again. My mom thinks that’s a miracle. I guess she is right.”1．The underlined phrase “shoot up” in paragraph 1 probably means_________.A．increase very quickly and suddenlyB．put illegal drugs into the body by using a needleC．kill or injure someone by using a gunD．try to achieve a particular aim2．When the two men came to their home in the middle of the night, Graham _______.A．had just taken drugs and was in the state of excitement.B．was sleeping in a high bed above the ground.C．had just taken drugs and was in the state of suffering.D．was quarrelling with his mother.3．What conclusion can be drawn from the end of the passage?A．Graham is still using drugs now.B．Graham hates his mother very much.C．Graham thinks he can’t be saved.D．Graham has come off drugs now.The future of pinnipeds (鳍足动物)looks much brighter today than it once did. At one time, about 100 years ago, it seemed certain that many pinnipeds in the world would be destroyed by human hunters. Today, it appears that most species( 物种) of pinnipeds are out of danger.Hunting was not controlled during the 18th and 19th centuries, because little was known about the lives of pinnipeds. Whales and pinnipeds were hunted for the oil from their body fat. This oil was used in lamps before electric lights were invented. Millions of seals and other pinnipeds were used to provide oil for the lamps of the world. As a result, the numbers of many pinniped species fell rapidly.Several things happened that helped to save pinnipeds. First, species that were hunted to near extinction (灭绝) were left alone because their numbers were too low and the cost of hunting them went up greatly. At the same time, electric lights were invented and the market for seal oil became smaller. Finally, governments around the world made laws to protect pinnipeds.As a result of all these things, the numbers of most pinniped species have grown in recent years. With some species, such as Northern fur seals, there may be as many animals alive today as there were before all the hunting began.However, oil is still a danger to pinnipeds and all sea animals. But this time it’s not because they are hunted for their oil. The oil that puts them in danger is from oil spills(泄露) in the sea. The oil covers their fur and reduces their body temperatures. Oil also sticks to the foods they eat. This modern danger to pinnipeds and their environment is one we must work to prevent.4．During the 18th and 19th century, _______.A．people had realized the importance of pinnipedsB．pinnipeds were hunted for their meatC．pinnipeds had a better life than todayD．many families were using lamps5．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．How electric lights were invented.B．When people began to protect pinnipeds.C．What governments around the world have done to save pinnipeds.D．Why the numbers of some pinnipeds have increased.6．It can be inferred from the passage that________.A．the market for seal oil is growingB．Northern fur seals aren’t in much danger nowC．oil spills are the biggest problem for pinnipedsD．stricter laws need to be made to protect pinnipeds7．In which part of a magazine can we most probably read this passage?A．Wildlife. B．Lifestyle.C．Tourism. D．Environment.When we want to tell other people what we think, we can do it with the help of words. We can also do it in many other ways, too. Sometimes we move our heads up and down when we want to say “yes”, and we shake our heads when we want to say “no ”. Some people can’t hear or speak. They talk with the help of gestures（手势）. People from other countries often have to do it if they don’t know your language.Here is a story. An American was once having his holiday in Italy, but he could not speak Italian. One day he went to a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, the American opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. In this way he wanted to say “Bring me something to eat”. The w aiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The American shook his head and the waiter understood that he didn’t want tea. So he took it away and brought him a glass of milk. The American shook his head again. He was very hungry now and looked sad. He was just going to leave the restaurant when another man came in. When this man saw the waiter, he put his hands on his stomach(胃). In a few minutes there was a large plate of bread and meat on the table in front of him.8．Sometimes people move their heads when they want to say “yes”.A．right and left B．fast and slowC．hard and easy D．up and down9．If people want to say , they may shake their heads.A．“no”B．“yes”C．“words”D．“OK”10．If you can’t , you may talk with the help of gestures.A．write and read B．say or singC．hear and speak D．go or comeAsia’s mountain glaciers (冰川) will lose at least a third of their mass through global warming by the century’s end, with serious consequences for millions of people who rely on them for fresh water, researchers have said. The high mountains of Asia consist of a geographical region surrounding the Tibetan Plateau, holding the biggest store of frozen water outside the poles. It feeds many of the world’s great rivers, including the Ganges, the Indus and the Y arlung Zangbo River, on which hundreds of millions of people depend.Nearly 200 nations adopted the Paris Agreement in 2015, which sets the goal of limiting warming to a level of “well below” 2°C, while “pursuing efforts” to achieve a lower ceiling of 1.5°C．Earth’s surface has already warmed by about 1°C, according to scientists.The Asian high mountains, the new study said, were already warming more rapidly than the global average. A global temperature rise of 1.5°C would mean an average increase in the region of about 2.1°C, with differences between mountain ranges - all of which will warm by more than 1.5°C．The Hindu Kush mountain range would warm by about 2.3°C and the eastern Himalaya Mountains by 1.9°C, the study forecast.“Even if temperatures stabili ze at their current level, (glacier) mass loss will continue for decades to come,” the researchers added. “For the high mountain glaciers to survive, it is vital to reduce the global temperature increase to the lowest possible level.”A study in July in the journal Nature Climate Change said there was only a 5% chance of holding global warming under 2°C．For 1.5°C, the chance was about 1%. On current trends, some experts project Earth is on track to warm by about 3°C．11．What is stressed about Asia’s mountai n glaciers in the first paragraph?A．The reason for its melting.B．Its importance.C．Its geographical condition.D．The consequences caused by its decrease.12．What do we know about the temperature on the earth’s surface?A．It keeps up its normal level.B．It has risen too much since the Paris Agreement was made.C．It is far below the level that the Paris Agreement demands.D．It is near the lower ceiling that the Paris Agreement demands.13．How may we guarantee these glaciers, continued existence, according to researchers?A．Hold global warming under 2°C．B．Try to save water as much as we can.C．Keep global temperature increase to a minimum.D．Make the global temperature stable at its current level.14．How does the author develop the passage?A．Giving examples. B．Describing.C．Presenting data. D．Comparing.The poaching，or illegal killing，of rhinos(犀牛) in South Africa is growing worse each year．The government recently reported that a record number of rhinos were poached in 2014，a year which had more rhino killings in South Africa than ever before．The World Wildlife Fund，or WWF，says about 20，000 rhinos live in South Africa．That is more than 80 percent of the rhinos in the world．Edna Molewa，South Africa’s environmental issues minister，says，“During 2014，we are sad to say this，1，215 rhinos were killed．This is a rise in the number of poached rhinos from 1004 in 2013 and indeed very worrying．”The animals are hunted for their horns(犀牛角)．Many people in Asia believe the horn has curing power，which drives poachers，at all costs，mad for more horns．But there is no scientific evidence for this belief．The horn is made of keratin．That is the same thing as human hair，fingernails and toenails．Ms．Mo1ewa said 386 suspected poachers were arrested last year，an increase from the year before．But rhino protection workers say poachers often go unpunished after arrest．SouthAfrica’s legal system is ineffective．Ms．Molewa said more needs to be done and South Africa is taking strong measures to protect rhinos．The efforts include moving some of the animals to secret places in neighboring countries．“Now approximately 100 rhinos have been moved to neighboring states in the SADC region during 2014 and 200 more rhinos will be moved this year”Molewa said．Jo Shaw，the rhino program manager at the WWF，said，“we’re talking about a loss of a hundred rhinos a month．Or more than three a day．We really need to see effective action not just at a national level but internationally．”She says officials should find the criminal groups responsible for the poaching and punish them．Government officials are to meet in Botswana in March at the Inter-governmental Conference on Illegal Wildlife Trade．15．What do we know about rhinos?A．Half of the rhinos live in South Africa．B．Less than 1，000 rhinos were killed in 2013．C．The killing reached the highest point in 2014．D．There are only 20，000 rhinos left in the world．16．What is the main reason for people to hunt rhinos?A．To get more keratin．B．To protect the farmland．C．To use them for decoration．D．To make money from horns．17．Jo Shaw thinks that_________．A．many criminal groups are well organizedB．new laws are needed to punish the killersC．rhino protection needs international cooperationD．conferences about protecting rhinos are to be held every year18．What can we infer from the text?A．Rhino protection has a long way to go．B．No one would like to buy horns in the future．C．The illegal killing of rhinos will soon disappear．D．Rhinos living in South Africa will move to other countries．A typical school day in the UK starts around 8:30 am. This is often even earlier elsewhere in the world, with students sitting down to their first lesson at 7:30 am in the US. The average teenager ideally needs eight to nine hours’ sleep each night, but in reality a lot of teenagers struggle to get this much. A lot of the problems happen because our sleep patterns are not fixed, and they change as we grow.So a later school start time could help to solve this problem, by ensuring to get their eight plus hours of sle ep and react properly to their body’s natural rhythms(规律). There has been a general change over the past 25 years to shorten the school day, This is not at the cost of teaching time (which has remained constant) but at the cost of natural breaks, which has led to reduced lunch time and lesson breaks.Later start times could help teens’ grades and health. This is mainly because it makes the management of children easier. Managing hundreds of children “playing” requires effective staffing. And there is always the fear that behavior worsens during breaks. So the theory goes that having them in class and strictly managed must be better.But this means that students barely have enough time to absorb what they were doing in maths before suddenly they are forced to study ancient history. And teaching staff also move through from one class to another, with hardly a rest or time to refocus.Clearly rethinking the school day could benefit everyone included. Anyway, it could also lead to better achievement in teenagers and less of a struggle for parents in the mornings. For teachers, it could also mean a less stressful day all around and what could be better than that?19．At what time do the students start their first lesson in the US?A．7:00 B．7:30C．8:00 D．8:3020．How do schools often shorten the school day?A．They reduce children’s lunch time and lesson breaks.B．They reduce the teaching time.C．They properly adjust c hildren’ natural rhythms.D．They increase more holidays.21．What’s the purpose of the short lesson breaks according to the text?A．To make children behave better in class.B．To make children quickly take in what they learned.C．To reduce children’s excitem ent.D．To manage children more easily.22．What can we learn about later school start time from the text?A．It will add to the teacher’s pressure.B．It has always been there for 25 years.C．Parents may support it.D．It benefits the students only.In Alaska, the US, the grizzly bears are not alone because of Timothy Treadwell. Everyone knows that grizzly bears can be very dangerous to people. However, people can be perilous to grizzly bears, too, because their fur and food are beneficial for some people. In fact, half of the grizzly bears die before they are five years old, even though they can live for about 30 years.Grizzly bears hibernate every winter. They sleep for several months. During this period, they don’t wake up or eat anything. When they wak e up in the spring, the grizzlies are in danger. But Timothy can protect them. He sleeps in a tent near the bears and bathes in a river with them. People do not hurt the bears when Timothy is with them.Timothy went to Alaska for the first time about 17 years ago. He was attracted by the beauty of the land and the prettiness of the animals. When he learned that people kill many grizzly bears every year, Timothy determined to protect the grizzly bears and to keep the bears safe from danger, so he lives with the bears for four to five months every year. At the beginning, Timothy’s parents didn’t agree, but later, they firmly supported him to do so, because they also wanted to protect bears as him.Timothy has lived with the grizzlies every spring for about 17 years. Some bears are now his friends. He gave them names. His friend Booble sometimes gives him fish which he likes. His friend Lazy sleeps near his tent every night. Every winter, when the bears hibernate, Timothy returns to his home in California. Then he teaches children and adults about his friends in Alaska.23．What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word“perilous”in the first paragraph?A．Powerful B．Dangerous C．Generous D．Friendly24．How does Timothy protect grizzly bears?A．Timothy lives with bears for four to five months every year to protect them.B．Timothy protects the bears every year with the help of his friends in Alaska.C．Timothy’s parents help him to protect the bears together.D．Timothy set up some tents for the bears to escape from danger.25．From the passage, we know that ________.A．People don’t hurt the bears because they are afraid of Timothy’s gun.B．Timothy went to Alaska to enjoy the beauty of the land.C．Timothy lives in peace and harmony with the dangerous bears.D．Booble enj oys eating fish and sleeping near Timothy’s tent.26．The best title of the passage is ________.A．The Grizzly Bear B．Man and AnimalsC．Experience in Alaska D．The Bear ManIf a noisy neighbor is blasting music at all hours of the day and night, drowning out your phone conversations and interrupting your sleep, you can call the police. But what is a whale to do?Natural noise from waves, wind, rain and even earthquakes is common in oceans. Unfortunately, man-made noise from oil and gas drilling, sonar, and ships is also present.Low frequency noise has doubled off the California coast every decade since the nineteensixties. The main reasons are ships' propellers (螺旋桨). They not only generate continuous low frequency sound, some propellers cavitate(形成气穴), which means they create air bubbles that collapse, creating loud popping sounds.Whales use low frequency calls to communicate across thousands of miles of ocean. They are threatened by noise pollution because it can prevent them from contacting each other and from locating their foods. Endangered humpback and right whales, which use fibrous baleen to strain food from the water, are the most at risk.Scientists studying right whales off Canada's east coast have discovered that whales are sending louder calls through the water to make themselves heard. Because they invest more energy in making calls, they have less energy available for finding food and mating. Other scientists measuring whale calls against background noise pollution have discovered that right whales have lost about eighty percent of their normal communication area. This could seriously affect survival of this already threatened species.Scientists don't have badges and guns, but they are trying to correct the noise pollution problem. By tracking ships and marine mammals and understanding how noise travels, they are creating sound maps. They hope to get shipping lanes moved so that the noise pollution ships create will not overlap with areas most important to the whales.27．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Whales are in danger because of the noise.B．Noise pollution is affecting whales.C．Natural noise is good for whales.D．How to protect whales endangered.28．The following statements are true EXCEPT ________.A．You can call the police if you are disturbed by a noisy neighbor.B．Low frequency noise has doubled off the Canadian coast every decade since the 1960s.C．Noise pollution can prevent whales from contacting each other and from locating prey.D．Endangered humpback and right whales are the most at risk.29．We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.A．some areas important to whales are overlapped with the ship lanesB．scientists are creating the sound maps by tracking ships and marine mammalsC．if scientists have guns, they can correct the noise pollutionD．scientists have worked out a plan to protect the whales30．According to scientists，________.A．right whales off the Californian coast have been in danger because of the loss of the energyB．right whales cannot find food and mate for they lose a lot of living areaC．there are about 20% of the normal communication areas still available for the right whalesD．the right whales always invest most of their energy for making callsChildren are our future, and it’s up to us to arm them with the tools to succeed. Sadly, today’s children are being armed with more dangerous tools like weapons (武器), drugs and gangs. Once a relatively peaceful environment, many schoolyards of today are becoming unsafe for both students and teachers.Home schools are available to give you choices. Home schooling provides top-quality education, flexibility, and freedom to create your own schedule. At Heritage Home School we believe the choice should be yours.Thanks in part to modern technology, home schooling information is becoming readily available across our nation. A recent study by the ITBS (Iowa Tests of Basic Skills) and TAP (Tests of Achievement and Proficiency) shows us that students of home schools do particularly well when compared with the nationwide average. In every subject at every grade level, students of home schooling scored obviously higher than those in public and private schools.If you’re new to home schooling, you may be asking yourself, “Will home schools really work for my children?”Fact: A nationwide study using a random(任意)selection of 1,516 families found students of home schooling to be scoring, on average, at or above the 80th percentile in all areas on standardized achievement test.Note: The national average on standardized achievement tests is the 50th percentile.Collectively, the staff at Heritage Home School brings 65 years of experience in home schooling curriculum. We’ve placed students in the top 2 % of the nation in math and many aresuccessfully moving on to college.One study found that of the home schooled adults, 0% were unemployed, 0% were on welfare and 94% said home education prepared them to be independent persons.For more home schooling information, call us today toll free at (877) 532-7665.31．We can learn from the first paragraph that ________.A．many schools armed their students with weaponsB．violence and crime exist in many schoolyardsC．students use weapons to defend their schoolyardsD．weapons are more dangerous than drugs32．All of the following are true of home schools EXCEPT that ________.A．students are free to choose their coursesB．students do well in important national testsC．they help students find jobsD．they help students to be independent33．What is the purpose of the text?A．To give information about different schools.B．To compare home schools with other schools.C．To suggest a new method of school education.D．To persuade people to choose home schools.34．The advertisement is mainly aimed at ________.A．students B．parents C．teachers D．adultsHow are you and your family going to celebrate Earth Day?

A deep-seated preference for night life and subways, the thinking goes, has driven the revitalization of urban cores across the U.S. over the last decade-plus.But there’s mounting evidence that millennials’ love of cities was a passing fling(放纵). Millennials don’t love cities any more than previous generations.The latest argument comes from Dowell Myers, an urban planning professor at USC．As they age, says Myers, millennials’ presence in cities, will “be evaporating(蒸发) through our fingers, i f we don’t make some plans now.” That’s because millennials’ preference for cities will fade as they start families and become more established in their careers.It’s about more than aging, though. Demographer William Frey has been arguing for years that m illennials have become‘stuck’in cities by the 2008 downturn and the following slow recovery, with poor job prospects and declining wages making it harder for them to afford to buy homes in suburbia.Myers, too, says observers have confused young people’s p resence in cities with a preference for cities. Survey data shows that more millennials would like to be living in the suburbs than actually are. But the normal career and family cycles moving young people from cities into suburban houses have become, in M yers’ words, “a plugged up drain.”But unemployment has finally returned to healthy lows (though participation rates and wages are still largely stagnant), which Myers says should finally increase mobility for millennials.Other trends among millennials, supposedly matters of lifestyle preference, have already turned out to have been driven mostly by economics. What was once deemed their broad preference for public transit may have always been a now-reversing inability to afford cars. Even decades-long tren ds towards marrying later have been accentuated as today’ s young people struggle for financial stability.Investors are already taking the idea that millennials will return to old behavior patterns seriously, putting more money into auto manufacturers and developers. But urban lifestyles, up to and including trendy bars, aren’t just hip—they’re a part of what powers a city’s economic engines, bringing people together to explore new ideas, create companies, and build careers.From the 1960s to the 1990s, we saw that suburbanization(城市郊区化) also means an economic and social hollowing out for cities. Now that the economic shackles are coming offtoday’s young city residents, cities that want to stay vibrant(充满生机的) have to figure out how to convince them—and their growing families—to stick around.38．Why are Millennials about to leave city?A．It is too expensive for them to buy apartment in cities.B．They find it difficult for to seek a god job in cities.C．It is easier to get married moving to the suburban.D．They are more confident with their economic situation.39．What does the author mean quoting Myerˈs “a plugged up drain"(para 5)?A．Millennials are reluctant to leave attractive cities.B．Millennals are stopped from moving to the suburbs.C．Milennials are unwilling to be cut off from the suburban.D．Millennials are afraid of another economic decline.40．How does the author feel about the suburbanization?A．sign of stable finance.B．A growth of health issuesC．A conflict of new ideas.D．A loss of modem lifePlanet Earth would be a scary place for humans if dinosaurs still ruled the world.Though there are still some traces of life from the Jurassic Period, the Age of Dinosaurs more than 65 million years ago.This mass extinction is believed to be the result of an asteriod（小行星）hitting Earth. A new report by the journal Biological Reviews called " The Extinction of Dinosaurs” concludes that this impact was, indeed, the cause of the dinosaurs’____But the space blast(爆炸) wasn't the only reason these creatures aren't still around today.Dinosaurs need food to survive. Meat-eating monsters like the Tyrannosaurus Rex(霸王龙) were at the top of the food chain, and fed off plant eaters like the horned Triceratops (三角恐龙). These herbivores (食草动物) were decreasing in population after the asteroid hit Earth, which left the meat-eating species less food to survive on. “In any ecosystem where you remove links to key species, that community has problems," Richard Butler, one of the review's authors, told。

考点8 阅读表达\任务型阅读(2018·天津卷·阅读表达)话题:勇攀人生顶峰词数:318W难度: ★★★Some people live to climb the highest mountains. Some people live only dreaming about it while others live to avoid ever climbing at all. But one thing is certain, all people encounter mountains in their life.When I was a little girl, my family moved to a tiny town at the bottom of a big mountain. One day after school, while exploring the green woods of this magnificent mountain, I almost fell on a set of stairs. What could these steps lead to? Curiosity got the best of me as I knew it would be starting to get dark soon. I started climbing up those strangely mysterious steps.I climbed and climbed. There was nothing but just green bushes and these steps.I had to reach the top! But it was now getting real dark. If I kept going I might not be able to see my way back. My mum would be worried sick if I didn't come home soon. So I ran back home almost in the dark while trying not to get too scared.Anxiously I went to bed dreaming about what I would find at the top of this magical mountain. Could there be a castle up there? Maybe I would find a monster(怪物). Maybe I was taking the risk of never coming back home. Or, maybe all I would find was absolutely nothing! But something inside me was going to climbthat mountain at all cost. I could hardly wait to try this adventure again.Now we live in a world surrounded by the “can't do” attitudes. We all fall down. We all have doubts and regrets. Still we must climb and dream about what's at the top of our mountain. Monsters may appear or the night will fall. But never ever give up on your dream! Never let anyone tell you, “You can't.” Dream big and climb high! 56.What made the author start to climb up the stairs to the mountain top? (no more than 5 words)【解析】Curiosity made her do so./The desire to explore.细节理解题。

考点2 阅读填句(2016·全国卷Ⅰ)话题:信息安全词数:295W难度:★★★Secret codes(密码)keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.People have used secret codes for thousands of years.36Code breaking never lags(落后)far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.There are three main types of cryptography.37For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”38You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet,in order, from 1 to 26.If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me”would read“13 5 5 20 13 5.”A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book.39For example, “bridge”might stand for “meet”and “out”might stand for “me”. The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.”40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文,论述了密码的种类及对信息安全的重要性。

考点3 阅读理解一、科普知识类Passage 1 (2012·安徽·D)In Asia, there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them. Although all kites have a similar structure (结构), they are widely different in size and shape. Kite-fighting competitions are also held, in which competitors use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents’(对手) kites or cut their strings(线).For more than 15 years, the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite-making and kite-flying classes for the children on an island in Hawaii. In its kite-making lessons, students can make kites in as little as 20 minutes! Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite. Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980. Their kites are made of nylon(尼龙).Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne. The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite.The kite that is used to give lessons is a regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern. The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two-string controllable kite. Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students howpulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in. Then the controls are given to the students.Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites. Even the simplest structure can work, and can give hours of fun. Go on, give it a try!【文章大意】本文是关于在the Big Wind Kite Factory里,通过学习风筝设计、风筝制作、风筝放飞等,孩子们得到的乐趣。

考点8 阅读表达(2016·天津卷·阅读表达)话题:学习障碍词数:281难度:★★I’m a 34-year-old man, married, live in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational consultant. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools.My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay(黏土).Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language. I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along.I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I foundmyself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it.Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I was literate.Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting.【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。

外研版高中英语必修一《阅读理解》专项练习题（含答案）A so-called “smart drug” intended to improve people's cognitive (认知的) function to protect the brain from altitude sickness.Visiting high-altitude sites for work, spot, religious pilgrimages and military can result in cognitive effects, including memory loss and attention difficulties. There's little you can do to prevent these symptoms except acclimatize -but this takes time and doesn't always work. A drug called oxiracetam might be the answer.ShengLi Hu at the Third Military Medical University, Chongqing, China and her colleagues studied the performance of male military personnel at altitude. All lived in towns around 1,800 meters above sea level, During the study, they spent eight days at this altitude and then climbed for three days to reach 4,000 meters, where they stayed for up to a month.Twenty participants took oxriacetam three times a day for the first 15 days of the study, while another 20 received no intervention. The man did tests of attention and memory at the start and end of the study and 20 days in, by which time they had been at 4,000 meters for nine days.While all the participants experienced a drop in cognitive ability at 4,00 meters, those who took oxiracetam showed a much smaller drop than the control group.The team found that at high altitude the brain stem, which plays a critical role in supporting basic living functions, received blood at the expense of areas responsible for more advanced cognitive functions. But in people who took oxiracetam, blood flowing throughout the brain rose,thus offering more oxygen to these areas. This may be how the drug seems to lessen cognitive problems like with low oxygen.It isn't yet known whether diverting blood in this way could have negative effects in the long run. "The results are striking and imply that oxiracetam may be beneficial for helping to relieve cognitive ability decline caused by altitude." says Timothy Hales at the University of Dundee, UK.1．The underlined word “acclimatize” in Paragraph 2 is closest in mean ing to______ .A．adapt B．ignoreC．exist D．relax2．What does the experiment done in China indicate?A．The higher altitude you are at, the slower your brain will be.B．At 4,000 meters, the two subject groups show little difference.C．Memory tests are beneficial to relieving attention difficulties.D．“Smart drug" largely reduces negative effects of altitude sickness.3．According to the passage, the root cause of the cognitive effects lies in______ .A．physical tiredness B．low oxygen contentC．cognitive training D．extreme high altitude4．What is the best title for the passage?A．Fight High Anxiety B．Oxiacetam - A Magic DrugC．Keep Sharp at Altitude D．Problems on High-altitude SitesWe’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surr ounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. ＂Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,＂ he explains. ＂The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.＂In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. ＂It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,＂ says Dunn. ＂But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.＂Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. ＂Small talk is the basis of good manners,＂ he says.5．What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A．Addiction to smartphones.B．Inappropriate behaviours in public places.C．Absence of communication between strangers.D．Impatience with slow service.6．What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?A．Showing good manners. B．Relating to other people.C．Focusing on a topic. D．Making business deals.7．What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?A．It improves family relationships. B．It raises people’s confidence.C．It matters as much as a formal talk. D．It makes people feel good.8．What is the best title for the text?A．Conversation Counts B．Ways of Making Small TalkC．Benefits of Small Talk D．Uncomfortable SilenceWelcome to University of Waikato.

Factories send gasses such as carbon dioxide, or CO2, into the atmosphere, the air around the earth. In the past, this wasn’t a problem because trees absorbed the CO2. But now people in many countries are cutting down billions of trees all around the world. At the same time, factories are sending more CO2into the atmosphere. It’s difficult to believe, but factories put billions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year. One ton is over 2000 pounds, so it is a lot of pollution. There is too much CO2and there aren’t enough trees, so the world is getting warmer. In other words, we have a greenhouse effect. This is terrible for the environment.What can we do about this? Firsts we can stop using so much coal and oil. We can learn to use different kinds of energy: the sun, wind, steam from volcanoes，and heat from inside the earth. Second, instead of cutting down trees, we should plant more trees. One tree can absorb ten pounds of carbon dioxide every year.The trees are good for the earth’s atmosphere and for Guatemala (拉丁美洲国家危地马拉).In small towns and villages in Guatemala, most women are poor and have hard lives. Trees help them in three ways. First, the Connecticut factories pay them to plant the trees. Their pay is com, not money. The com is good for their children. Second, these women know a lot about their environment. They know where to plant when to plant, and what kinds of trees to plant. For example，they plant many fruit trees. The fruit gives them vitamins for their families’ s diets. Other trees are good for firewood. In a few years, the women won’t spend so much time looking for firewood. Third, all these trees are good for the soil. Now rain can’t wash the soil down from the mountains so easily.This plan isn’t enough to stop the greenhouse effect. However, it’s a start. The woman of Guatemala are helping themselves and helping their environment.14．Which of the following statement is NOT true?A．Factories send more CO2 into the atmosphere.B．Trees can’t absorb the same CO2 as they did in the past.C．Billions of trees are being cut down throughout the world.D．The greenhouse effect is extremely bad for the environment.15．What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?A．The reasons why we should plant more trees.B．Ways we can adopt to take heat from volcanoes.C．Measures to be taken to forbid the use of coal and oil.D．Things we can do to stop or reduce the greenhouse effect.16．How does planting trees help improve women’s lives in Guatemala?A．By preventing the greenhouse effect.B．By developing their skills of planting trees.C．By enabling them to earn more money to support their family.D．By making them get com and fruit to feed their family in return.17．What’s the author’s attitude towards the plan of planting trees in Guatemala?A．Critical. B．Neutral.C．Positive. D．Doubtful.When high school student Katie Shipley was born with a serious brain disease, doctors said she wouldn't live to go to school.Now, Katie is not only about to graduate from Southridge High School in Oregon, but she was also named the school's prom (高中毕业舞会) queen.Knowing Katie's wishes for prom queen, her friend Courtney Travis began reaching out to find her the prom king she needed to make her a queen. Courtney found Michael Parks, who also thought it was a great idea.“I really got to know Shipley,” said Michael. “When you take the time to get to know other people, it really gives you a great chance to live for more than yourself.”Courtney took a picture of the couple together and put it on her Twitter, explaining their plans for the prom. “It became very popular in the school,” she said.Their efforts paid off, and Katie was very excited to be named prom queen.On the day of the prom, Katie wore a very beautiful dress. Her grandmother, Joan Fraley, who also went to the prom, said the night will stay with her always.“I was standing there and the children were shouting her name,” she said. “Th ey called her name as the new prom queen —I started crying. I'm greatly thankful to the students of Southridge High School.”Katie repeated that feeling.“I just want to say thank you to my friends for all they did for me. I love you all.”Todd Corsetti, the principal (校长) at Southridge High School said that seeing Katie as prom queen and the energy and help of his students is one of his “proudest moments.”“I think teenagers have great hearts and are really looking to make the world a better place,” Todd said. “As we finish our school year, it's a great legacy (遗产) to leave the other classes who come after them.”18．When Katie was born, she _____.A．nearly died in hospitalB．wasn't expected to live longC．wasn't supposed to finish high schoolD．caught a disease caused by doctors' mistakes19．Hearing about Katie's story, Michael _____.A．turned to his friends for helpB．began to raise money for KatieC．decided to live for others rather than himselfD．was very happy to help Katie realize her dream20．Why did Fraley cry at the prom?A．She felt sorry for Katie.B．She thought of Katie's hard life.C．She was invited to Katie's graduation.D．She was moved by what others did for Katie.21．What is Todd's opinion on the students?A．They are the kindest teens.B．They are the hope of the world.C．They set a good example to others.D．They can do much better in the future.In the U. S. state of Washington, a road called Interstate(州际公路；州际的)90 cuts through a wild mountainous area to reach the city of Seattle. For the area's many kinds of animals, busy high- way greatly limits their movements. Animals need to move to find food, to find mates, to find new places to live as their populations expand or just when conditions change, like a fire breaks out. Crossing I-90 – as the road is called – is a risky but sometimes necessary act. But soon, animals will have a safer choice. They will beable to go above it.To help the animals, the state is finishing work on its largest - ever wildlife bridge. The 11-meter-tall, 20 - meter - wide bridge begins in the forest. It forms two arches above the highway, one for each direction of traffic. Workers are adding fencing anti plants to help guide the animals across the bridge，Two-meter-thick walls will help block noise from vehicles below. Scientists chose the area because it is within a natural migration(迁徙)path for some animals.The I -90 bridge is part of a growing number of wildlife crossings across the United States. Some are fences, some are overland bridges，and some are underpasses. They all aim to keep drivers and animals away from each other.A U. S. Transportation Department study found crashes between animals and humans rose year by year. The accidents made up about 5 percent of all crashes nationally, and cost the economy (经济)about ＄8 billion. Such costs come from car repaid, emergency room visits and removal of the dead animals on roads. Collisions between animals and drivers are rarely deadly to people. But they are often deadly to wildlife. The study also found that 21 endangered or threatened species in the U.S. are affected by vehicle hits. Bridges, underpasses and fencing reduce I he area's animal - driver collisions by 80 percent.Most of the wildlife bridges are in western states. Many other areas also need such paths. But finding money for more crossings is“the- number - one problem”. Patty Garvey — Darda of the U. S. Forest Service has worked on the I - 90 crossing from the start of the project. She says the $ 6 - million bridge will one day pay for itself because the highway will not have to be fully or partly closed each time a large animal is struck. “If you shut clown Interstate 90, you shut down interstate trade. ” she adds.22．What do we know about die I -90?A．It goes from Washington D．C to Seattle,B．It is dangerous for wild animals to cross.C．It blocks the movements of wild animals.D．It is the longest - ever highway in the world.23．What is being done to help the animals?A．Building a wildlife bridge to keep drivers and animals away.B．Designing walls to protect animals from traffic accidents.C．forming 2 arches, one for traffic and the other for animals.D．Choosing a natural and safe area for wild animals to live in.24．What can we learn from the study?A．Traffic accidents went down gradually nationwide.B．Most money was spent in rescuing wild animals,C．Collisions are more deadly to wildlife than to people,D．Some species no longer existed because of vehicle hits.25．Which of the statements may Patty Garvey - Darda agree with?A．The bridge costs too much money.B．Animals won11 be struck by drivers.C．The effort to build the bridge will pay off.D．Collisions won't affect national trade at all.The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:“I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.”“ I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”But one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.Attitudes are imp ortant. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame others, and you play the role of victim, chances are you’ll start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.26．The musicians’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.A．the musicians have a bad lifeB．people have poor taste in musicC．people have different attitudes towards the same thingD．young people have greater chances of succeeding27．The underlined sentence “they’re rubbing off on you” in Paragraph 6 means ______.A．they’ll push you aheadB．they’ll influence youC．they’ll discover your shortcomingsD．they’ll help you achieve your goal28．From Paragraph 7, we can ______.A．make more friendsB．know the right way of making friendsC．develop a better relationship with our friendsD．arrange the time with our friends properly29．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A．You are who your friends areB．True friends have hearts that beat as oneC．A friend in need is a friend indeedD．Friends are thieves of timeFrom: terri wombat. Com. AuTo: (happylizijun) yaboo. com. cnSubject: My schoolHi, Li Zijun,Thanks very much for your email. I really enjoyed reading it. I think we have a lot in common. I wonder if our school life is similar too.I go to a big high school in Sydney called Maylands High School. There are about 1000 students and80 or so teachers. My class has 25 students in it, which is normal for a Year 11 class. In the junior school there are about 30 students in a class.In the senior high school we have lots of subjects to choose from, like maths, physics, chemistry, biology, history, German, law, geography, software design, graphic arts and media studies. (Different schools sometime have different optional subjects.) English is a must for everyone and we have to do least three other subjects in Year 11 and 12. At the end of Year 12 we sit for a public exam called the HighSchool Certificate.As well as school subjects, most of us do other activities at school such as playing a sport, singing in the choir or playing in the school band. We can also belong to clubs, such as the drama club, the chess club and the debating society.We have a lot of homework to do in senior school to prepare for our exam, so unless I have basketball practice, I usually go straight home and start studying. I arrive home about 4 pm, make myself a snack and work till 6. Then I help the family to make dinner and we all eat together. I’m usua lly back in my room studying by 8 pm. I stop at about 10 o’clock and watch TV or read a book for half an hour to relax. On Saturdays, I usually go out with my family or with friends and I sleep in till late on Sunday morning. Then it’s back to the books on Sunday afternoon.How about you? What’s your school life like? Do you have a lot of homework? What do you do to relax when you’re not studying?

On the first day of school, with permission of the school headmaster, she took all of the desks out of the classroom.The kids came into the first period. They walked in, and there were no desks. They looked around and said, "Ms Cochran, where are our desks?" And she said, “You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn them.”They thought, "Well, maybe it's our grades.”"No," she said."Maybe it's our behavior."And she told them, "No, it's not even your behavior."Second period, the same thing. Third period... By early afternoon television news reporters had gathered in Ms. Cochran’s class to find out about this crazy teacher.The last period of the day, Martha Cochran gathered her class. They were at this time sitting on the ground floor around the sides of the room. "Throughout the day no one has really understood how you earn the ordinary desks in this classroom." she said, "Now I'm going to tell you."Martha Cochran went to the door of the classroom and opened it, and as she did, twenty-seven adults, who were fathers or mothers of the kids, walked into that classroom, each one having a school desk. And they placed those school desks in rows. And when they finished placing those desks, those kids for the first time in their lives understood how they earned those desks.Martha said, "You don't have to earn those desks. They did it for you. They put them out there for you, but it's up to you to sit here responsibly to learn, to be good students and good citizens, because they paid a price for you to have that desk, and don't ever forget it!"33．Why did Cochran take all the desks out of the classroom?A．Because she wanted to punish the kids.B．Because she wanted to let kids know how they earned the desks.C．Because kids didn't need any desks at her classes.D．Because the desks were all broken.34．Who get kids to have a chance to get education?A．Teachers.

That was a finding of a study of teenage males in some countries. Now，research showsthat physical activity may help students do better in their classes.The research comes as educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like physical education. They are using the time instead for academic（学术的）subjects like maths and reading. The studies appeared between 2008 and 2014.They included more than 55 ,000 children，aged 6 to 18.Amika Singh：“According to the results of our study，we can conclude that being physically active is beneficial for academic performance. There are，first，physiological explanations，like more blood flow，and so more oxygen to the brain. Being physically active means there are more hormones（荷尔蒙）produced like endorphins（内啡肽）. And endorphins make your stress level lower and your mood improved，which means you also perform better.”Also，students taking part in organized sports learn rules and how to follow them. This could improve their classroom behaviour and help them keep their mind on their work.The study leaves some questions unanswered，however. Ms Singh says it is not possible to say whether the amount or kind of activity affected the level of academic improvement. This is because of differences among the studies.The researchers said they found only two high-quality studies. They needed more high-quality studies to confirm（证实）their findings. They also pointed out that“results for other parts of the world may be quite different”Still，the general finding was that physically active kids are more likely to do better in school. Ms Singh says schools should consider that finding before they cut physical education programs. Her paper on“Physical Activity and Performance at School”is published in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine.36．The passage mainly tells us that .A．research on physical education has been done by the researchersB．there is a possibility that physical activity leads to higher gradesC．the amount or kind of activity directly affects academic levelD．the research shows that the children aged 6 to 18 don't do sports37．Which of the following is TRUE？A．Being mentally active is good for academic subjects.B．The more hormones you have，the more stressed you will get.C．The researchers have found many high-quality studies to prove the research.D．The educators in some countries think studies，not exercise，mean much to students.38．What's the purpose of writing the passage？A．To call our attention to the sports at school.B．To introduce all types of physical activities.C．To represent the academic performance.D．To improve students' health.It is 6:00a.m.on the first day of the school year. In Chery brook Technology High School, mathematics teacher Eddie Woo is already at work.One of the first things before the first bell rings is to set up his tripod（三脚架）and iPad in the middle of the classroom. “I’m Mr. Woo. I record my lessons. I record all of them. In fact, I’m about to record this one,” he explains to his new maths class.He started posting videos online in 2012 for a student who was sick with cancer and missing a lot of school, so he started sharing them across the country and beyond. Wootube now has more than 38,000 subscribes(用户) and has attracted almost 4 million views worldwide.Cherybrook Technology High School principal(校长) Gary Johnson said Mr. Woo was helping maths teachers in Australia and making maths popular again. “He has an ability to simplify(简化) maths to a level w here kids can really understand it.” Mr. Johnson said.12-year-old student Emily Shakespear said Mr. Woo’s teaching style made maths easy and interesting. “I don’t want to say it, but he sucked me into maths,” she said. Owen Potter, who attends high school in Cobar. agreed. “It’s difficult to understand how someone in Sydney can influence thousands of people across the whole country,” he said.Mr. Woo won the 2017 University of Sydney Young Alumni Award for Outstanding Achievement, and he was one of 12 Australian teachers honored at the Commonwealth Bank Teaching Awards.39．Eddie Woo set up an iPadin the middle of the classroom with the purpose of ________.A．listening to music B．playing a videoC．recording his class D．showing pictures40．What can we infer from the statistics（数据）in the third paragraph?A．Mr. Woo’s teaching videos online are very popular.B．Mr. Woo had made a lot of money by selling videos.C．Mr. Woo posted videos online helping many adults.D．Mr. Woo created his Wootube in 2012 in Sydney.。
