It’s roughly estimated that there are 450 million disabled people in the world. No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world.The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them. Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability not their disability that count.1.The first paragraph points out that______.A. the number of disabled people in India is the greatestB. India has much more disabled people than CanadaC. there are many disabled people in the worldD. it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled people2.The last word of the passage "count" most probably means_____.A be numbered B. be includedC. be consideredD. be most important3.Which of the following statements is not true?A. About 10 percent of people in the UK are disabled.B. Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.C. There still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignoranceD. The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people4.It can be concluded from the passage that____.A. both physical and metal barriers are hard to break downB. we should take a proper attitude towards the disabledC. we should try our best to prevent disablementD. the able-bodies people will never fully understand the disabled 【参考答案】1-4CDCB由 (2013四川宜宾高三一诊)改编Online educational learning games are an effective way with endless option (选择)for teaching kids of all age groups, and children are also able to operate it without much assistance.

However urban life strikes you，cities worldwide have been growing even more rapidly．Some of this growth has occurred in the developed world，but the most dramatic increase has been in the Third World．Almost all the world’s population growth over the next 30 years will take place in the cities of developing countriesBy the year 2030，for the first time in history，60 percent of the world’s people will be living in cities．This is actually good news in some ways．“Cities are the fundamental building blocks of prosperity,” says Marc Weiss，chairman of the Prague Institute for Global Urban Development，“ both for the nation and for families．” Industrial and commercial activities in urb an areas account for between 50 and 80 percent of the gross domestic product （GDP）in most countries of the world“ there’s the crazy notion that the way to deal with a city’s problems is to keep people out of them,” Weiss continued．“But the problems of the rural life are even more serious than those of the city．” For better or worse，urban-watchers are clear on one point: The quality of life for most people in the future will be determined by the quality of cities．Those cities will be bigger than ever．And yet，population numbers by themselves don’t determine a city’s prospects；after all，Addis Ababa，Ethiopia，and Hamburg，Germany，have the same population．Nor is explosive growth necessarily the determining factor．“City problems,” one authority points out，“mostly have to do with weak，ineffective，and usually unrepresentative city governments．”1．The passage mainly discusses ______________．A．Big cities．B．City life．C．Population．D．Gross Domestic Product．2．According to the passage，in the year of 2030 _______．A．there will be 21 cities having a population of more than 10 million．B．rural area will be extinct．C．most people will live in cities．D．the third world will keep abreast with the developed world．3．In the author’s opinion，_________．A．better city，better lifeB．both urban and rural areas have a larger populationC．the larger population，the faster a city developsD．both urban and rural areas have larger gross domestic products4．Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A．The developing countries develop faster than the developed countries．B．Cities contribute more to the GDP than the villagers．C．Some problems are more easily solved in cities than in country．D．It’s impossible to solve urban problems by getting people out of cities．5．The last paragraph implies that ____________．A．public services are ineffective．B．cities are increasing too fast．C．population is not linked with development．D．government should be responsible for the problems in the cities．【参考答案】1---5、A C A A D阅读理解。

练案[34]选择性必修第四册UNIT 3 SEA EXPLORATION Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2023·河北省衡水中学月考) British sculptor Jason Taylor has made it his mission to use his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating underwater museums.Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide.On February 1,2021, Taylor launched his latest work The Underwater Museum of Cannes.“The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help，”Taylor told Dezeen, an architecture and design magazine.“Oce an ecology has been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades, and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.”The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages.They range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk，a 9-year-old student.Towering over 6 feet and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask.The mask indicates that the world's oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile due to careless human activity.Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago.Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area's seagrass.Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily.The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.“The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people to the underwater environment and develop a sense of care and protection，”Taylor told Dezeen.“If we threw unwanted waste near a for est, there would be a public outcry.But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.”语篇导读：本文是一篇记叙文。

2023版新教材高考英语一轮总复习：UNIT 3 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解ANational Space Centre, LeicesterAn interactive museum of super-size space experiences: from a giant planet Earth you can touch to the UK's biggest domed planetarium (穹顶天文台) and a 42-metre rocket tower. You can't miss the latter as you drive into Leicester — the structure looks like it's wrapped in giant inflatable pillows. Inside, it houses Blue Streak and Thor Able rockets. Take in the full scale of them by riding a glass-sided lift up to the viewing platform. Elsewhere, there are six galleries with plenty of buttons to press and screens to touch. It's all under cover so it's a good place to visit on a rainy day!What about lunch?The Boosters Cafe serves reasonably priced hot and cold snacks and drinks (hot dog from ￡4.95, plus jacket potatoes, soups, sandwiches and salads) at the foot of the centre's two rockets. The cafe offers vegetarian and vegan options too.Getting thereThere is a regular bus service (No.54 with a stop two minutes' walk from the centre), as well as a park and ride service from Birstall. East Midlands Trains and Cross-Country Trains operate services to Leicester station, from which the centre is a 25-minute bus ride. If driving, it's just off the A6, north of the city centre. Parking is ￡3 for the day.Value for moneyIt's not cheap — adult: ￡15, 5 to 16-year-old: ￡12, but once you've paid you can revisit as many times as you want in a year, and admission is free for kids under five.Opening hours10 a．m.－4 p．m.

When I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked.“Some clothes and food,” I replied.“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off — shoes, socks, underwear and all —and shouted, “Can I go now?”“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches. A pile of dried-up brown needles were beneath the tree, and you can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.“It’s Billy! Let me in!”The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.”Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”The door opened and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.“What’s for supper?” I smiled back.1. When the author was leaving home, his mother ordered him to _____.A. stay at homeB. take some sandwichesC. leave everything behindD. check his suitcase carefully2. Which of the following can best describe the author’s mom?A. Selfish and proud.B. Strict but loving.C. Kind and helpful.D. Wise but impatient.3. The underlined word “infuriated”probably means “_____”.A.surprised B. warnedC. encouragedD. angered4. Why did the author jump under the low-hanging branches?A. To avoid being seen.B. To find some needles.C. To play a joke on the two girls.D. To attract the two girls’ attention.5. The last sentence “What’s for supper?” mainly shows that the author _____.A. felt very hungry at that timeB. changed his plan to leave homeC. wished to eat something before leavingD. wanted to know what his mother prepared for supper(家庭) 本文是记叙文。

2020高考英语一轮阅读理解统练题（三）及答案阅读理解。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

The practice of swapping fashions has recently been attracting attention worldwide, particularly in Europe and the United States. This is an activity aimed at making more effective use of resources by providing a platform for people to exchange free of charge those fashion items in their closets that they don’t use anymore.In London, fashion swap events sponsored by the credit card company VISA focus on the swapping of specific brands. Japan’s first major fashion swap event, “xChange,” was held in September 2007 in Tokyo. The xChange event is designed to exchange not only fishing items but also information and feelings from the owners of the clothes, using what is called an “episode tag.” Participants put tags on each of the items they bring and write their name and a bride episode about the items.For example, a t ag of a white jacket read, “This is a gift from a friend, but it’s just not my style.” On a tag attached to a pair of red shoes, a person wrote. “These don’t fit me anymore. I hope someone who loves red can use them.” Just as shoppers check price tags, some people check the episode tags before making a selection, imagining who used to wear the item. The episode tags make people aware of the human connection by exchanging goods.Many participants say things like, “I’m very lucky to get such lovely clothes for free,” and “I was happy to see someone try on and choose what I brought here.” Unwanted clothes for one person can be new and exciting for someone else. Besides, xChange achieves close to a 100-percent reuse rate by donating leftover clothes to companies that reuse or recycle secondhand clothing. Anything they cannot use, they then donate to developing countries or reuse them as rags.Since 2007, the xChange event has been held every two or three months in a different region of Japan, always attracting many participants. This success is probably because it is an active event that gives participants opportunities to enjoy fashion without increasing the impact on the environment.1. What's the main purpose of the fashion exchange?A. To attract people's attention.B. To make good use of resources.C. To get rid of unwanted clothes.D. To try to avoid buying new clothes.2. What is special about "an episode tag"?A. It provides personal information of the owner.B. It is being attached by a price tag.C. It gives details of a fashion item.D. It includes brief information of the item and feelings of the owner.3. That the xChange event has achieved success is probably because ____.A. it donates secondhand clothing to developing countriesB. it changes people's way of consumingC. offers an example of enjoying fashion without damaging environmentD. it shows fashion is the best policy for women4. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. "Fashion Exchange" Concept Grows in Japan.B. "xChange" Environment Meets the Fashion Industry.C. The Global Rise of the Fashion Exchange.D. Join in "xChange".1、答案解析：答案为B。

Unit 3 Inventors and inventions李仕才一、阅读理解A new “smart bin” could mean the end of environment-conscious families spending hours sorting tins, cartons, bottles, and cardboard for recycling.The invention, which can help sort rubbish into recycling categories without needing people to operate. It is being trialed in Poland and is set to go on sale in UK within a few years.The bin, designed by start-up company Bin.E, recognizes different type of waste via a system positioned inside the bin which uses sensors, image recognition and artificial intelligence. Once waste is placed inside, the camera and sensor identify its type and place it in one of the smaller bins. Then it compresses the waste so it occupies less space.It is thought that the bin could be stocked by department stores such as John Lewis, which said it is introducing more new hi-tech recycling bins. Matt Thomas, a buyer at John Lewis, gave us the reason, “We’ve recently seen a jump in specialist bins sales, with a 25 percent increase in the last few months alone. We have noticed our customers are becoming more and more focused on sustainability. In response to this demand, we are really excited to introduce a smart bin this autumn/winterseason-designed to make recycling more efficient and functional for the everyday home."Bin. E’s official release on the market will take place in 2018. However, at first only a larger version designed for offices will be available. The office bin will sell at £ 430 while customers will need to pay a £ 107 subscript ion fee for an accompanying smartphone app, which hooks them up with collection services. A spokesman at Bin. E said that home version of the bin will be cheaper and will not include a monthly payment.They added: “After the office version, we plan to crea te an outdoor version and later the home version. We decided to go for the outdoor version for public areas first because it is more difficult to organize an efficient waste segregating system than in our homes.”1.What do we know about about a new “smart bin” from the first paragraph?A. It works automatically.B. It has been used widely.C. It is easy to operate.D. It is very expensive.2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The waste.B. The camera.C. The bin.D. The sensor.3.Why is John Lewis introducing more new hi-tech recycling bins?A. To change people’s behaviour,B. To satisfy increasing demands.C. To popularize new technology.D. To make them more famous.4.Where will the first version of new “smart bin” be used according to Bin. E’s official?A. At home.B. In the supermarket.C. In the open air.D. In the office.【文章大意】本文介绍了一款可以智能分类垃圾的“智能垃圾箱”。

When Frida Kahlo's paintings were on show in London，a poet described her paintings as“ a ribbon (丝带)around a bomb”．Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time.Sadly，she is actually a much_bigger_name today than she was during her time.Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City ，Kahlo suffered from polio(小儿麻痹症)at the age of seven.Her spine (脊柱)became bent as she grew older.Then，in 1925，her back was broken in several places in a school­bus accident.Throughout the rest of her life，the artist had many operations，but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back.However，the accident had an unexpected side effect.While lying in her bed recovering，Kahlo taught herself to paint.In 1929，she got married to Diego Rivera，another famous Mexican artist.Rivera's strong influences on Kahlo's style can be seen in her early works，but her later works from the 1940s，known today as her best works，show less influence from her husband.Unfortunately，her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s，even in her home country.Her first one­woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954，Kahlo's works remained largely unnoticed by the world，but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.弗里达·卡洛是一位画家，她的作品还有艺术影响力，但是她的名气在现在比她当时的时代要大得多。
