河北省石家庄市栾城县2016高考英语 阅读理解及书面表达练习(8)

2014河北省栾城县高考英语阅读理解训练（5）及答案阅读理解The National P ark Service in the United States will mark its one hundredth anniversary in 2016. As it nears its second century, the Park Service plans to increase its educational programs for students and teachers.The plans include transportation support for one hundred thou sand students each year to visit national parks to learn about nature and history. Yellowstone is believed to have been the world's first natio nal park when it was established in 1872. Other students will get a chance t o see parks in faraway places through Skype and other online programs.The National Park Service also works with partners to provide education. One of its partners is a nonprofit organization called NatureBridge. NatureBridge is celebrating its fortieth anniversary and says one million young people have taken part in its programs. The organization works with students from kindergarten through twelfth grade and uses national parks as its classrooms. It provides field science programs at Yosemite National Park and four other locations in California and the northwestern state of Washington.Now, NatureBridge is launching an East Coast center with a four-million-dollar grant from Google. The program will begin in April at the Prince William Forest Park in Virginia. Students stay for three to five days in NatureBridge programs. The activities are aimed at developing their science skills. For example, they learn about different soils a nd study water quality under a microscope.Jason Morris is executive vice president of NatureBridge. He says when they are not sleeping, eating or in a laboratory, the students spend their time outdoors. Julia Washburn is associate director of education and interpretation for the National Park Service. She says in a time of budget cuts, the agency has to find ways to still meet its goals. Ms. Washburn says one of the most important services that the Park Service provides every day is nature interpretation. Park rangers (公园管理员) try to make visiting the outdoors more meaningful. Interpretation is a form of informal education. Essentially, it is a word that we use for the people in parks that explain the park or help orient（确定方向） you. So park rangers are interpreters. They orient you to the place you are in and help you make connections, emotional and intellectual connections, with the place.72. Which of the following description about NatureBridge is NOT correct?It’s an organization working together with National Park Service to provide education.Some of the activities held by NatureBridge are financially supported by Google. Students from kindergarten to college can sign up for the organization’s activities. It’s going to cut down budget for the activities because of economic hard times.73. In which national park will the program by East Coast centre start?A. Yellowstone National ParkB. Prince William Forest ParkC. Yosemite National ParkD. Not mentioned in the passage.74. What’s the main idea of the passage?Para.1 Para.3 Para.2 Para.4 Para.5 Para.1 Para.4Para.2 Para.3 Para.5 Para.1 Para.3 Para.2 Para.4 Para.5 National parks are used as outdoor classrooms for students.Students are called on to join NatureBridge.Some famous national parks in US are attractive to students.Park rangers make visiting parks more interesting.75. Which of the following is the correct structure of the whole passage? (Para=paragraph)A.B.C.D.【文章大意】美国The National Park Service 即将迎来其100周年纪念。

You know how wonderful you are，and you know that others knowhow wonderful you are，but what do you do when admiration crossesover the line into jealousy？For most teens there will come a daywhen you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that thisjealousy is hurting your friendship.When this happens it can seemlike there is nothing that you can do，but the good news is that thereis.Don't let jealousy spoil your relationships.Tackle it head on and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is，but if you want to save your friendship you'll have to do just that.Don't approach them and ask why they are jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally conceited)，just take some time alone with them and let them know that you've been feeling like there's been something coming between you.If they refuse to respond，then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling.Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.When you figure out what is annoying your friend，ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better.If，for example，(s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn't get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you.Remember，though，that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise.Don't limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy.Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.Even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy.This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies.Before taking extreme action，chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise.If you can't，be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won't.【语篇解读】本文是关于人际关系的话题。

2015河北省栾城县高考英语阅读理解暑假学生自练（8）及答案阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Beijing ---- A recent Chinese blockbuster （轰动的作品）“A World Without Thieves” is based on the experiences of a young migrant worker （民工）carrying 60,000 yuan on a train packed with thieves．But while the image of a warm-hearted but somewhat naive migrant worker may have made film fans chuckle, it’s a sure bet that most of China’s migrant workers are yet to step into a cinema to admire it．“Forty yuan a ticket? I can’t afford it,” said Shen Jie, a migr ant worker at a construction site in Dongzhimen, east Beijing．Shen found it hard to remember when he last watched a film, or what it was about．“It must be 10 years ago,” he said．Though they are the builders of the nation’s theaters and cinemas, a limit ed cultural life is common among China’s 120 million migrant workers．Shen arrived from East China’s Zhejiang Province in1991．Life was better then; money seemed to come more easily．“Now, as more and more workers are rushing to the capital, it’s too hard to earn money, and none of us dare think about watching films,” he said．For many like Shen, the dream is earning enough to pay for their children’s education so they can find jobs in the cities and say goodbye to the hardships of rural life forever．This drives them to work hard and save as much as possible．With a monthly salary of less than 500 yuan, Shen has to send money home to his little son and silver-haired parents．In Shen’s small dormitory, which he shares with seven other co-workers, there is a well-thumbed copy of a magazine published in 1998．A recent survey by local media revealed that 80 percent of migrant workers spent their spare time sleeping and chattin g because of exhaust and a lack of income．The same survey found that 47 percent of migrant workers have to work for more than 10 hours a day．Around 40 percent do not even possess a book, and nearly 60 percent say they are dissatisfied with their cultural life．Like many of Shen’s co-workers, reading newspapers and hanging out in Beijing’s streets provide evening entertainment．From China Daily 9．We can infer from the passage “A World Without Thieves” is a film that __________． A．talks about experiences of a group of thievesB．deals with the life of migrant workersC．explains how to catch thieves on trainsD．attracts many migrant workers10．As for the migrant worker, Shen Jie, ____________．A．life was harder when he first came to work in BeijingB．he enjoyed a lot of films ten years agoC．his wish was to pay for his son’s educationD．the capital is too hard a place for him to make any money11．According the passage, which of the following is TRUE _________．A．the workers enjoy reading very much, no matter how old the magazines are B．the workers have so little to read that they often read the same magazine again and againC．the workers enjoy magazines because they are easy to understandD．the workers think highly of the copy of the magazine published in 1998 12．The main idea of this passage is that migrant workers _________． A．lack cultural experiencesB．are not very well-paid in BeijingC．are looked down upon by city peopleD．need the government’s attention参考答案C) DCBA【2012辽宁省模拟】Kirk Watson, then Au stin’s mayor, remembers it this way:“I was at the gym working out and going back and forth between different machines, doing different things. I was on a treadmill(踏车), my head down and a guy on another treadmill cried out, ‘Mayor, is that the World Trade Center?’ ”Moments later, Watson was in another part of the gym, away from televisions. “Another guy said another one hit.” he recalled.Watson, now a state senator, recalls every detail, every emotion of Sept. 11, 2001.“I will never forget the feeling of watching the towers fall,” he said, recalling going into mayor mode when it became clear our nation was under attack.You, too, remember the details, the emotions of 9/11. Five weeks from today, on the 10th anniversary of that awful day, we will provide a forum for Central Texans to share their memories. At times, the memories are so vivid, it seems impossible it was so long ago. And there are times the memories are so horrific that it can be hard to comprehend that such a thing actually happened.For many of us, the 9/11 attacks on our homeland are the equivalent(等同) of what the attack on Pearl Harbor was for Americans on D ec. 7, 1941. The events were comparable, but the outcome was different. Does it seem to you America was in a better place 10 years after Pearl Harbor than we are 10 years after 9/11? We remain at war on two fronts. Our nation’s economy is shrinking. Too many Americans are unemployed. We face challenges so deep that some Americans —inheritors(继承人) of a national spirit long marked by eternal optimism about a boundless future —a re thinking about whether our best days are behind us.“Sept. 11, 2001 was our day that will live in evil,” Watson said. “We need to make sure our children and grandchildren will say we reacted to our day that lived in evil at least as well as that generation that came before us reacted to Pearl Harbor.”Have we done that? We’d like to share your thoughts in a project planned for these pages on Sunday, Sept. 11. Are your memories consumed by the horror of the sights of that day? And, like Watson, do the emotions of the day still burn within you?63．When America was under attac k on Sept 11, 2001, Kirk Watson was________. A．in the office having a talk with his staffB．receiving a phone call from his colleagueC．in the stadium watching TVD．at the gym taking exercise64．It can be learnt from the passage that ten years after Sept 11, 2001, ________ .A．America is in a better place than they were 10 years after Pearl Harbor B．America’s economy is picking upC．Americans are worried about their futureD．many Americans are living a happy life65．The author’s purpose in writing the passage is t o ________ .A．hope the readers will talk about how they feel about the 9/11 attacksB．expect the victims of the 9/11 attacks will be tolerantC．call on all Americans to uniteD．encourage American young people to fight against terrorists66．What can be the best title for the passage?A．Great Pain Disappears SlowlyB．Ten Years Later, Memory Still BurnsC．Ten Years Ago, the 9/11 Attacks Occurred UnexpectedlyD．The 9/11 Attacks, Forgettable or Forgivable【参考答案】63—66、DCAB【2012辽宁省模拟】DThough “nanometer”（纳米）is now a fashionable term all over the world, few people know exactly what it is. It has become a new favorite of manufacturers and sellers in recent years. Many “high-tech” products bearing the name “nano” have entered the market, bringing more mysterious feeling to surprised consumers.Nanometer is a very small length unit of measure, and is very small. One millimeteris 1000 micrometers, and one micrometer is 1000 nanometers. That is, one nanometer is one billionth of a meter. Nano materials are so lid materials composed of particles(粒子) or crystallites(晶体) of less than 100 nanometer in size. Then, is a cup made of nano material really a ny different from an ordinary cup in function as far as how it works?Are nano cups really so wonderful? A reporter went to the Institute of Nanomedicine, which is the first such institu te of such a sort in the world and the only one in China, specializing in researching the investigation of the application of nano technology into medicine.A water molecule(分子) is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. It can be changed only by special working skillfully of the atoms. The material making up the cup can have nanometer particles .But it cannot change the chemical and physical properties of the water contained in it. The water in the cup is still water. When people drink it, it will produce no special effect on human body.Professor Ji who worked in the Instiute of Nanomedicine told the reporter, so far, the investigation of nano materials is still limited in the laboratory. No commercial micro products can be produced yet. With the present level of science and technology, the time of everyday goods made of nanometer materials is still years away.The products labeled with nano marks in the market now are onl y traditional products coated with a thin layer of nanometer material, which makes them more abrasion resistant(耐磨), much easier to be cleaned, or oil resisting or moth proof(防蛀).Professor Ji explained that nano cup is a real cup. It can also be included in the list of nano products in a certain sense. But the nano cup has not changed its property and function as a cup. It is not a magical medicine for curing and health care.67．What can we learn according to the passage?A．Millimeter is a smaller length unit compared with nanometer.B．Nano products are very popular with consumers.C．The water contained in the nano cup is not quite different from the tap water.D．A nano cup has a special function.68．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A．real nano products are being produced by some companiesB．nano materials have been put into use in daily goodsC．the nano cup is very effective in curing and health careD．r eal nano products haven’t become available for people69．T he underlined word “properties” in the fourth paragraph probably means ________.A．possessions B．reactions C．qualities D．symbols70．What would be the best title for the passage?A．High-tech Products B．Nano MaterialsC．High-teach Research D．Nano Cups【参考答案】 67—70、CDCB阅读理解Home stay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.What to ExpectThe host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Accommodation ZonesHome stays are located in London mainly in Zones2,3 and of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的). Zones3 and 4often offer larger accommodation in a less crowned area.

Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal（谷物类食品），bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normallypart of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables fo llowed by desert, fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit. You must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.Self-Catering Accommodation in Private HomesAccommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay st u dent. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary home stay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.( ) 1.The passage is probably written for ____________.A. host willing to receive foreign studentsB. foreigners hoping to build British cultureC. travellers planning to visit families in LondonD.

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

How is it that siblings (兄弟姐妹) can turn out so differently? One answer is that in fact each sibling grows upin a different family. The firstborn is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later. The next child is, for a while, the youngest, until the situation is changed by a new arrival. The mother and father themselves are changing and growing up too. One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years; another might be raised in a family crisis, with a disappointed mother or an angry father.Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918. But more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others’lives. Dr. Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. The reason for this might be that the later children aren’t getting the same one- on- one time with parents. But that doesn’t mean that the younger children have problems with language development. Later- borns don’t enjoy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between “I” and “me”.A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially. Love- hate relationships were common among the children. Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Researchers have found that the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third. Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being morefeminine than girls with sisters. A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents.1. The underlined part “in a different family” (in Para. 1) means" ______".A. in a different family environmentB. in a different family traditionC. in different family crisesD. in different families2. In terms of language development, later- borns_______ .A. get their parents’individual guidanceB. learn a lot from their elder siblingsC. experience a lot of difficultiesD. pick up words more quickly3. What was found about fights among siblings?A. Siblings hated fighting and loved playing.B. Siblings in some families fought frequently.C. Sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships.D. Siblings learned to get on together from fights.4. The word“feminine” (in Para. 4) means "______".A. having qualities of parentsB. having qualities of womenC. having defensive qualitiesD. having extraordinary qualities【参考答案】1—4、ABDB阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the aging of America has made us a very different society —one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/ her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop work ing isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.” No one says “Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.1. It can be learned from the text that the aging of the population in America ________.A. has made people feel youngerB. has changed people’s social positionC. has changed people’s understanding of ageD. has slowed down the country’s social development2. The und erlined word “one” refers to ________.A. a societyB. AmericaC. a placeD. population3. “Act your age” means people should ________.A. be active when they are oldB. do the right thing at the right ageC. show respect to their parents young or oldD. take more physical exercises suitable to their age4. If a’ 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it _________.A. normalB. wonderfulC. unbelievableD. unreasonable【参考答案及解析】1. C 主旨题。

2014河北省栾城县高考英语阅读理解训练（2）及答案阅读理解-------ARedheaded birthday boy Jake Balcom, newly 11, walked into the principal’s office at Centennial Lane Elementary School in Ellicott City ready for his big surprise. His name had been announced over the loudspeaker moments earlier. Today was going to be special.Back in the day—like, before fifth grade —Jake’s parents would bring cupcakes to school in his honor. But this year, for the first time, his Howard County school has forbidden parents from bringing “edible treats”for students’birthdays. That means no more cupcakes, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, birthday cake, ice cream, Rice Krispies treats or pizza. Instead, Jake got a handshake from Principal Robert Bruce and a colorful pencil and a card.“We hope that you have a terrific birthday,” the card read.Jake just smiled, and went back to class.Centennial Lane is part of a movement across the Washington area and the country to take the battle against childhood obesity to one of education’ s most beloved functions: the school party. But some are worried that the fight is going one step too far—and taking some of the fun out of being a kid.Schools, where many children eat two of their day’s meals, are being pushed to the front lines of the battle against kiddy bulge. A federal law requires schools to create wellness policies that encourage students to be more active and eat more healthfully. Some schools in Virginia have started exercise clubs. In Maryland, schools are cracking down on vending-machine junk food.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP), the proportion of overweight children ages 6 to 11 has skyrocketed in recent decades, from 7 percent in 1980 to 16 percent in 2002. Among 12 to 19-year-olds, the rate of obesity more than tripled, from 5 percent to 16 percent. Health officials have called obesity a pandemic (流行病).At Centennial Lane, the principal said some parents have complained about the school’s new policy, and others have adapted by bringing in nonfood treats—such as rulers or erasers.Jake Balcom said he missed bringing treats to school. But he wasn’t too bothered by their absence because he had celebrated his birthday with friends. They went to see the movie “Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit” and shared his birthday cake at his house.1. What is Jake Balcom’s reaction to his gifts for his 11-year-old birthday from his school ?A. He felt puzzled by the gifts quite different from the former ones.B. He almost felt the same as before because he had celebrated his birthday with friends.C. He preferred chocolate chip cookies, birthday cake, ice cream than pencils and cards.D. He would rather have a birthday party than a handshake from the principal. 答案解析：答案为B。

I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today ― and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect (感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“Nobody. I do it.”“Really ― at night, when you’re asleep?”“Sure.”“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”25.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ?A.know more about the studentsB. make the lessons more excitingC. raise the students’ interest in artD. teach the students about toy design26.What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A.He liked to help his teacher.B.

Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossi ng is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual (虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.29.Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A.To explain what they are.B.

An adventure.C. A public place.D. The identification number.31.What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A.Meet other readers to discuss it.B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.32.What is the best title for the text?A.Online Reading: A Virtual TourB.Electronic Books: A new TrendC.A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD.A Website Links People through BooksDA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding ― undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism ― if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck ( 海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled ( 雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.33.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A.They were made last week.B. They showed undersea sceneries.C. They were found by a cameraman.D. They recorded a disastrous adventure.34.Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A.Frank Hurley.B. Ernest Shackleton.C. Robert Falcon Scott.D. Caroline Alexander.35.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A.Artistic creation.B. Scientific research.C.Money making.D. Treasure hunting.第二节（共5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
