高考英语阅读理解训练及参考答案高考英语阅读理解训练1：Food serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways.Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust.Food can also have a specific meaning，and play a significant role in a family or cultures celebrations or traditions.The foods we eat —and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread，whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table，is a common symbol of togetherness.Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests.Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread，so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations.In the southern United States，pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year.In Greece，people share a special cake called vasilopita.A coin is put into the cake，which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child，and food can play a significant role.In China，when a baby is one month old，families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includesgiving redcolored eggs to guests.In many cultures，round foods such as grapes，bread，and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life，so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.*大意：*讲述了食物在不同文化中的作用。

高考语文阅读理解练习《看水》含答案看水（节选）汪曾祺不知不觉地，半夜过去了。

水一直流得很稳，不但没有涨，反倒落了一点，那两个志子【注】都离开水面有一寸了。

小吕觉得大局仿佛已定，这一夜可以平安度过。

他开始感觉有点疲倦了。

爬上小石桥头的一棵四杈糖槭树上，半躺半坐下来。

坐在树上就能看得见一根志子。

今天月亮真好，天上真干净，像一块大水晶。

四周安静极了。

远远听见大闸的水响，支渠的水温静地、生气勃勃地流着，“活——活——活”。

小吕在心里想：“我在看……”又在心里想道：“真好！”小吕在树上坐了一阵，想起该到石桥底下一段渠上看看。

这一段二里半长的渠，春天才挑过，渠岸又很结实，但是渠水要穿过兽医学校后墙的涵洞，洞口有一个铁篦子，可能会挂住一些顺水冲下来的枯枝乱草，叫水流得不畅快。

小吕翻身跳下来，扛起铁铣，向桥下走去。

小吕一边走着，一边顺着渠水看过去。

①他看小鱼秧子抢着往水上窜；看见泥鳅翻跟斗；看见岸上一个小圆洞里有一个知了爬上来，脊背上闪着金绿色的光，翅膀还没有伸展，还是湿的，软的，乳白色的。

……小吕一路迤逦行来，已经到了涵洞前面。

铁篦子果然壅了一堆烂柴禾。

小吕使铁铣推散，再一铣一铣地捞上来，好大一堆！渣积清理了，涵洞口旋起小小的漩涡。

没什么事了。

小吕顺着玉米地里一条近便的田埂，走回小石桥。

②月光暗了，月亮好像灯尽油干，快要熄了似的。

现在大概是夜里三点钟，大老张告诉他，这几天月亮都是这时候落。

月亮落了，好像唿噜一下子掉下去。

立刻，眼前一片昏黑。

小吕靠着糖槭树坐下来，头沉重起来，眼皮直往下搭拉。

忽然，他惊醒了！他觉得眼前有一道黑影子过去，他在迷糊之中异常敏锐明确地断定：——狼！小吕听说过，遇见狼不能怕，不能跑；狼怕光，怕手电。

他想了想，就开着手电，尾随着它走。

狼像一只大狗，深深地低着脑袋，搭拉着毛茸茸的挺长的尾巴。

慢吞吞地，不慌不忙地，像一个心事重重、哀伤憔悴的人一样。

赶上去，揍它？——小吕忖了忖手里的铁铣：算了！那可实在是很危险！小吕在石桥顶上站了一会，又回到糖槭树下。

（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套（带答案）及解析（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解One of the biggest problems when we are talking is the awkward silence. Encountering this situation is so uncomfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the past, I struggled wit h this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something… But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you would otherwise have missed out on.After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and found that one of these common behaviors is the habit of filtering (过滤)--holding back from saying something until you've "checked" to make sure that what you're about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you don't know how to change from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. It's fun to realize that you're allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you don't say anything that could land you in jail (监狱).All of the "Oh! That's interesting…" "Hmm, I've never heard of that" "Hmm, cool!" expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that you're really listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, they'll hang around and want to talk to you even more.Everyone knows that stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if it's not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the harder they are to forget.（1）If people can deal with the awkward silence, they can .A. train their working skillB. improve their life qualityC. enrich their social lifeD. establish their working relationship（2）When talking with others, we should .A. feel nervousB. think twiceC. be free to expressD. avoid breaking in （3）According to the passage, what do the speakers care much about?A. The attractive topics of conversation.B. The atmosphere of the conversation.C. The listener's experiences and tastes.D. The listener's curiosity and concern.（4）What does the underlined part "juice-up conversations" mean?A. making conversations more boringB. making conversations livelierC. making conversations smootherD. making conversations more relaxing【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文本文是一篇议论文，我们谈话时最大的问题之一是尴尬的沉默。

阅读理解1I grew up poor.We had little money, but plenty of love and attention.I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football.My high­school coach was Ollie Jarvis.He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction (信念)．One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job.This meant a chance for money in my pocket——cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn't be playing.I was dreading (害怕) this, but my mother said: “ If you make your bed, you have to lie in it. ”When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be.“Your playing days are limited.You can't afford to waste them，” he said.“How much are you going to make at this job, son？”he demanded.“Three twenty­five an hour，” I replied.“Well，” he asked，“is $ 3.25 an hour the price of a dream？”That question made me understand the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal.I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie­league ball, and offered a $ 20, 000 contract.I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the house of my dream.1．When the boy was offered a job, he wanted to________.A．balance summer baseball and the work scheduleB．refuse the job offer for summer baseballC．give up summer baseball for the jobD．ask his coach Jarvis for advice答案：C解析：细节理解题。

【英语】高考英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Experts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease and stroke. So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile!Dr. Chockalingam, a heart disease specialist in Columbia, advises his patients to smile. He says a smile may be one way to help your heart. "When we smile, the brain wiring changes. The chemicals that are released are more positive." He says smiling is the first step in fighting physical and emotional stress and its sometimes harmful effects on human health. This is not just New Age advice. Several studies support his opinion.When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones (荷尔蒙) including adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline increases your heart rate and blood pressure. Cortisol is the body's main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fight-or-flight response. However, when we are stressed for a long period, these stress hormones are ever-present in our bodies. And that, medical researchers warn, may lead to health problems.Researchers say the connection between stress and heart disease is still unclear. However, they claim that when people are stressed for long periods of time, they may have an unhealthy lifestyle, which can lead to health problems.Dr. Chockalingam says a smile may be one way to help. He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish ... smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs. It is not invasive like a surgical operation. It is free and it has no bad side effects."Once people smile, they are relaxing. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health." And it just may provide a little extra protection to everyone's heart health.（1）Which of the following agrees with Dr. Chockalingam's opinion?A.Smile has the same effects as laughter.B.Smile can be used to take the place of medicine.C.Smile is better than any healthy lifestyle to health.D.Smile can make our body produce beneficial chemicals.（2）What can we know about the mentioned stress hormones?A.They can lower our blood pressure.B.They will surely lead to heart diseases.C.They can benefit us when we are in danger.D.They will make us live an unhealthy lifestyle.（3）Why does Dr. Chockalingam think smiling is helpful to our health?A.It can make us relax.B.It increases sugar levels.C.It has little bad side effects.D.It can happen for no reason.（4）What can be the best title for the text?A.A Thorough Analysis of the Causes of Heart DiseasesB.One Thing You Can Do Right Now to Help Your HeartC.One Thing That Is Closely Connected with Stress HormonesD.The Clear Connection Between Unhealthy Lifestyles and Heart Diseases【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，哥伦比亚的心脏病专家Chockalingam博士建议多保持微笑，他认为微笑可能是帮助心脏的一种方式。

高考英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解In Shanghai's Grand Theater, a fashionable, mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as Guo Yong takes center stage. He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves. Blowing on one of the leaves, he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song. Some other musicians are also playing the traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in China.It's the first time such music has ever been performed in the Grand Theater. But all this is the efforts of Zhu Zheqin, a Cantonese-born singer; who has made it her mission to help preserve China's traditional ethnic music.Several years ago, after being appointed a United Nations Development Program ambassador, Zhu traveled through some of China's remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups. In the course other four- month trip, she recorded more than a thousand songs. But she noticed that many of the best musicians were old, and some of the music was at risk of dying out."I was shocked the beauty of what I heard-it was so good," she says. "But it needed support. I hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times."So Zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians to a wider audience. By doing this, she hopes to rekindle (再次点燃) the interest of the younger generation. "Young people don't like this music much; they prefer pop music and love songs. They think these songs are something their grandma sings. This kind of repackaging gives young people a new door into their heritage." Zhu believes China needs to look again at its own roots. "China today is basically all Western art; in our conservatories (音乐学院) Western classical music is the top," she says. "For China to really contribute to the world, we need to go on our own path. So what can represent China today?" The answer, she suggests, is to move from "made in China" to "created in China".（1）From the first paragraph, we learn that ________.A. the audience are all young peopleB. Guo Yong is playing the Buyi folk musicC. Guo Yong is the only minority performer on the stageD. tree branches make good musical instruments（2）Which of the following is TRUE of Zhu Zheqin?A. She teaches music in a conservatories.B. She is helping preserve Chinese ethnic music.C. She works as an official in the United Nations.D. She's created all the music for the Grand Theater.（3）Zhu Zheqin traveled to some of China's remotest regions to ________.A. record the traditional ethnic musicB. help the local musicians play the musicC. show the UN Chinese musical traditionsD. enjoy the music of various ethnic groups（4）What is Zhu Zheqin's idea about Chinese traditional music?A. It is completely out of date.B. Only old musicians play it well.C. It needs changes to attract young people.D. It is quickly dying out.（5）What does Zhu Zheqin mean in the last paragraph?A. The traditional music should be repackaged.B. Chinese conservatories shouldn't teach Western music.C. China has contributed a lot to the Western art.D. Only the things created in China can be symbols of China.【答案】（1）B（2）B（3）A（4）C（5）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了歌手朱哲琴将中国少数民族传统音乐整理再包装后向年轻人推广，并呼吁重视传统、找到真正能代表本民族的东西．（1）考查细节理解。

with confidence．Then，I pressed "play"to listen back．All I heard was a little kid talking．My immediate reaction was to assume I was listening to someone else's recording．But that was my voice．I realised there was something strange about me．My little voice has made me feel really shy．And my shyness has caused me to avoid attending events，not make important connections，and keep my ideas to myself．As a shy person，working from home，hiding behind my computer was brilliant．But the more time I spent hidden away，the more my comfort zone shrank（缩小）．Everyday interactions，like ordering a coffee，became increasingly awkward and uncomfortable．And then，one day I was at a big conference and it suddenly hit me like lightning．All speakers were confident，comfortable with being seen．There were no quieter voices．But the trouble is，if the loud voices are the only ones you hear，we quiet people feel even more alienated（疏远的）．The world needs a mixture of personalities．Success is not just about who can shout the loudest．The world needs quieter people，too．That day I chose to stop hiding and embrace my shyness．No more feeling like I needed to change who I am in order to succeed．No more living a small life．Then I created the Shy and Mighty Society，a space for shy people like me to shine，and in the process of helping others，I could also push myself forward，bit by bit．Now，I'm happy to tell people I feel shy．I'm not ashamed any more．And I know that I'm not alone．（1）Why did the author feel strange about herself after listening to the recording？（no more than10words）（2）What is the main idea

career，but when my family moved，everything changed．Tyson left for college，so I had to start at a new school all by myself．This new start gave me an opportunity to redefine myself and discover an entirely new version of"cool"．I don't know what made me decide to try some new activities at the new school，but one day I chanced to show up for an after﹣school meeting of the Science Olympiad team．I had always been fascinated with chemistry，biology，and math，but since those interests hadn't fit．Tyson's definition of"cool"，I had never pursued them．On this day，for some reason，I did．As we organized teams，prepared resources and practiced answering questions，I felt more connected than I ever had to any sports team．I didn't feel as though I needed to keep up with anybody else；I was finally with peers who understood me．It was so good to feel accepted for what I'm good at．For the first time in my life，I actually felt cool．Now I know who I am！I'm Tyson's little brother，but that's only part of

kind，all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity（容量）at the height of the rush hour．A six﹣month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid﹣April，eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left．The move，imitating a similar structure in Far Eastern cities such as Hong Kong，is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times．it could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years．According to London Underground，only40percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators，leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the"standing"side．A three﹣week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any one time of could be raised by almost a third．Peter McNaught，operations director at London Underground，said："It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still，but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can betrue．This new six﹣month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term．"Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at23.4high．Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up﹣meaning only one side was used at all times．Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over18.5to ban walking．The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried2，500people between8：30am and9：30am on a typical day，rising to3，250during the researching period．In the new trial，which will be launched from April18，one of three"up"escalators will be standing only，with a second banning walking at peak times．A third will remain a mix of walking and standing．（Note：Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）78．What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left？79．What did last year's three﹣week trial at Holborn station prove？80．The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least in height．81．In the new trail，in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours，the other"up"escalators will be used for．6．（2016•天津）I'm a34﹣year﹣old man，married，lived 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 found myself 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．56．What made

charity work．Companies typically spend about1%of pre﹣tax profits on worthy projects．But many feel that simply writing cheques to charities is no longer enough．In some companies，shareholders want to know that their money is being put to good use，and employees want to be actively involved in good works．Money alone is not the answer when companies come under attack for their behavior．Hence the second layer of CSR，which is a branch of risk management．Starting in the1980s，with environmental disasters such as the explosion at Bhopal and the Exxon Valdez oil spill，industry after industry has suffered blows to its reputation．So，companies often responded by trying to manage the risks．They talk to non﹣governmental organisations （NGOs）and to governments，create codes of conduct（行为准则）and devote themselves to more transparency（透明）in their operations．Increasingly，too．they，along with their competitors，set common rules to spread risks．All this is largely defensive，but there are also opportunities for those that get ahead of the game．The emphasis on opportunity is the third layer of CSR：the idea that it can help to create value．If approached in a strategic way，CSR could become part of a company's competitive advantage．That is just the sort of thing chief executives like to hear．The idea of"doing well by doing good"has become popular．Nevertheless，the business of trying to be good is bringing difficult questions to executives．Can you measure CSR performance？Should you be cooperating with NGOs and you're your competitors？Is there any really competitive advantage to be had from a green strategy？Corporate social responsibility is now seen as a mainstream．Big companies want to tell the world about theirand can be positively harmful．Done well，though，it is not some separate activity that companies do on the side，a corner of corporate life reserved for virtue（美德）：it is just good business．（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS）78．Both in some companies find it no longer enough to simply donate money to charities．79．Give one example of the defensive measures of risk management according to the passage．80．With the emphasis on opportunity，the third layer of CSR is meant to．81．According to the passage，"good business"（paragraph6）means that corporations while making profits．8．（2014•天津）Last December，Doris Low turned90．Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind（CNIB）in Toronto，where she helps transform literature into Braille（CNIB）to bring the power of story and knowledge to the hears and minds of blind readers．She has been volunteering her time and talents to such enterprises foe more than40years．After working in the business world for a while，Low got fed up．So she turned to teaching at a technical school and later moved into the library．Low's mother liked reading．As her eyes began to fail，low read to her．Then"hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn Braille，I decided to give it a try．"In1973，she was certified as a braille transcriber （转译者）and began transcribing books as a volunteer for the CNIB library．The job was strenuous﹣﹣﹣she could get to the

proofreading（校对）at the CNIB's word factory．In April，during Volunteer Week，the CNIB recognized Low for her great contributions．Thanks to volunteers like Low，the CNIB library has got more

voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread over the years﹣﹣﹣and she is still doing so，"said a CNIB official．"For me，"said Low，"the CNIB is more than just a place to volunteer．Three thins matter most in my life：a little play，a little work，a little love．I've found them all here．"56．What does Low still do at the age of90at the CNIB？（no more

with them．None of Getty's children had very happy lives．[3]Getty loved to make money and loved to save it．In spite of his great wealth，Getty was miser．Every evening，he wrote down every cent he spent that day．He even put pay telephone in the guest's bedrooms in his house so he could save money on phone bills．[4]In1973，kidnappers took his16﹣year﹣old grandson，and demanded a large amount of money for his safe return．Getty's son asked his father for money to save his child．But Getty refused．The kidnappers were merciless and Getty's son made repeated requests for help from his father．Finally，Getty

four﹣wheel﹣drive vehicles．In addition，they spend money on fishing equipment，bait，fuel and boat repairs．And you can see that fishing can be an expensive pastime．Fishing lovers believe that their hobby is worth it．Others say that fishing is spoiling the environment and that it is a cruel hobby．[2]Supporters of fishing say that it is a nice hobby．Firstly，of the millions of people who fish for fun，most only catch enough fish to feed their families．They catch fish that are found in large numbers，so there is little danger to the species（种类）．[3]Secondly，recreational fishermen contribute to the economy．They spend money on equipment and other items，and they also spend it indirectly by paying taxes on their equipment and fuel．Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation（食宿）and airfares．This money keeps people in work and provides new jobs each year．[4]Thirdly，fishing is relaxing and fun so it lessens stress．Instead of turning to drugs or alcohol，it is far better to go fishing．People who are relaxed are generally healthier and much nicer to be near﹣﹣﹣except for the smell of the bait![5]Those who say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken form rivers，lakes，streams and oceans．This could lead to the dying out of some species．Modern cars and boats mean that people can fish in remote areas of the world，so no place is safe from greedy fishermen who take both males and females，leaving few fish to produce young．[6]Those against fishing also say that it is a blood sport，which means that an animal must die so that a human can have fun．Many of the fish caught for sport are not suitable for eating，so they are thrown away．Once hooked，fish have no chance of escape．76．What is the main idea of the passage？（no more than4words）．77．According to

Bristol used Google Ngram Viewer，a facility for finding the frequency of terms in scanned books，to search for more than600 particular words identified as representing anger，dislike，fear，joy，sadness and surprise．They found that almost all of the categories（类别）showed a drop in these"mood words"over time．Only in the category of fear was there an increase in usage．"It is a steady and continuous decrease，"said Dr Alberto Acerbi．He assumed that the result might be explained by a change in the position occupied by literature，in a crowded media landscape．"One thing could be that in parallel to books the20th century saw the start of other media．Maybe these media﹣movies，radio，drama﹣had more emotional content than books．"Although both joy and sadness followed the general downwards trend，the research，published in the journal PLOS One，found that they also exhibited another interesting behaviour：the ratio（比率）between the two varied greatly，apparently mirroring historical events．During the Roaring Twenties the joy﹣to﹣sadness ratio reached a peak that would not occur again until before the recent financial crash．But the ratio plunged at the height of the Second World War．Nevertheless，the researchers held a reserved opinion about their claim that their result reflected wider social trends．In the paper，they even argue that the reverse could be true．"It has been suggested，for example，that it was the suppression（压抑）of desire in ordinary Elizabethan English life that increased demand for writing‘filled with romance and sex'…perhaps，"they conclude，"songs and books may not reflect the real population any more than catwalk models reflect the average body．"（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）81．A study of more than five million books indicated a decline in"mood words"over time except．82．According to Dr Alberto Acerbi，one reason for the drop of"mood words"in books may be that．83．What were the two periods when the joy﹣to﹣sadness ratio was at its highest？．84．While the researchers found some changes in the use of"mood words"in books，they werenot sure that．13．（2012•上海）While contact between adolescents（between the ages of fifteen and nineteen）and their peers （同龄人）is a universal characteristic of all cultures，the nature and the degree of such contact vary a great deal．In American contemporary society，adolescents spend much more time with their peers than with younger children or adults．This pattern of age segregation（隔离）in American society did not become usual until the beginning of the industrialized society．Changes in the workplace separated children from adults，with adults working and children attending school．The dramatic increase of mothers in the workplace has further contributed to the reduction in the amount of time adolescents spend with adults．School reform efforts during the nineteenth century，which resulted in age﹣segregated schools and grades，have reduced the amount of time adolescents spend with younger children．Finally，the changes in population are considered a factor that may have contributed to the emergence of adolescent peer culture．From1955to1975，the adolescent population increased dramatically，from11percent to20.9percent．This increase in the number of adolescents might be a contributing factor to the increase in adolescent peer culture in terms of growth in size．Research supports the view that adolescents spend a great deal of time with their peers．Reed Larson and his colleagues examined adolescents'daily activities and found that they spend more time talking to their friends than engaging in any other activity．In a typical week，high school students will spend twice as much time with their peers as with adults．This gradual withdrawal from adults begins in early adolescence．In sixth grade，adults （excluding parents）account for only25percent of adolescent social networks．Another important characteristic of adolescent peer culture is its increasingly autonomous（自治的）function．While childhood peer groups are conducted under the close supervision of parents，adolescent peer groups typically make an effort to escape adult supervision and usually succeed in doing so．（Note：Answer t．he quesnons or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS．）81．"This pattern of age segregation"refers to the phenomenon that adolescents segregate

高考语文阅读理解《暮鼓》含答案（2022·黑龙江实验中学高三阶段练习）阅读下面的文字，完成7-9题。

暮鼓铁凝日落之后，天黑以前，她要出去走路。

一天的时光里，她尤其喜欢这个段落。

日落之后，天黑以前，是黄昏。

她穿上薄绒衣和哈伦裤，换上走路的鞋，出了家门。

她有些自嘲地暗想，她要保持整体的青春感。

至于下巴的松懈或者鼻梁旁边的几粒雀斑，其实无碍大局。

当一个六十岁的女人敢于穿着质地柔软、裤角裹腿、裤裆却突然肥坠以模糊臀部的哈伦裤出行时，谁还会注意她脸上的雀斑呢？她走上柿子林边的这条小马路时，发现马路对面，一个老者几乎正和她齐头并进。

老者拖着一把平头铁锨，铁锨和柏油路面摩擦出刺拉、刺拉的让人起鸡皮疙瘩的噪音。

他为什么不把铁锨扛在肩上呢？她心里有点抱怨，由不得偏过脸扫了一眼老者——这老头！她心说。

路灯及时地亮起来，在她斜后方的老头停住脚，从衣兜里摸出一包烟和火柴，仿佛是路灯提醒了他得抽烟。

他将铁锨把儿夹在胳肢窝底下，腾出手点着一支烟，狠狠吸了一大口。

借着路灯和老头点烟的那一忽儿光亮，她看见老头的齐耳短发是灰白色的中分缝，皱纹深刻的没有表情的脸木刻一般。

他咳着喘着向路边半人高的冬青树丛里吐着痰，确切地说，是向那树丛吼着痰，费力地把喉咙深处的痰给吼出来。

那吼是疙疙瘩瘩低沉、粗砺的吼，犹如老旧的轮胎隆隆碾轧着碎石。

她闻见一股子花椒油炝锅的白菜汤味儿，网球馆工地正在开饭。

她看见一个体型壮实的工人正朝她和老头这边张望，望了一阵，就扑着身子快步朝他们走来。

当他和他们相距两三米的时候，她看出这是个二十多岁的年轻人。

只听他急切地高喊起来：“妈！妈！”他喊着“妈”说，快点儿！菜汤都凉了！她下意识地扭头向后看，路上没有别人。

他是在喊她吗？他错把她当成了自己的妈？或者她竟然很像这位施工队成员的妈？这个端着空饭盆的年轻工人，就见他很确定地走到老头跟前，从他手里接过铁锨，又叫了一声“妈”，他催促说快点儿！菜汤都凉了！“老头”低声嘟囔了一句什么，不急不火的，由着儿子接过了铁锨。

历年高考真题：语文阅读理解及答案历年高考真题：语文阅读理解及答案历年真题是同学们复习中必备练习题，为方便同学们复习高考语文阅读理解，下面是小编精心整理的历年高考真题：语文阅读理解及答案，欢迎大家分享。

历年高考真题：语文阅读理解及答案篇1阅读下面的作品，完成11～14题。

何容何许人也老舍粗枝大叶的我可以把与我年纪相仿佛的好友们分为两类。

第一类是因经济的压迫或别种原因，没有机会充分发展自己的才力。

第二类差不多都是悲剧里的角色。

他们是旧时代的弃儿，新时代的伴郎。

这些人们带着满肚子的委屈，而且还得到处扬着头微笑，好像天下与自己都很太平似的。

何容兄是这样朋友中的一位代表。

他没有一点“新”气，更提不到“洋”气。

他的“古道”使他柔顺像个羊，同时能使他硬如铁。

当他硬的时候，不要说巴结人，就是泛泛的敷衍一下也不肯。

在他柔顺的时候，他的感情完全受着理智的调动：比如说友人的小孩病得要死，他能昼夜的去给守着，而面上老是微笑，希望他的笑能减少友人一点痛苦;及至友人们都睡了，他才独对着垂死的小儿落泪。

反之，对于他以为不是东西的人，他全任感情行事，不管人家多么难堪。

怎样能被他“承认”呢?第一个条件是光明磊落。

所谓光明磊落就是一个人能把旧礼教中那些舍己从人的地方用在一切行动上。

而且用得自然单纯，不为着什么利益与必期的效果。

光明磊落使他不能低三下四的求爱，使他穷，使他的生活没有规律，使他不能多写文章——非到极满意不肯寄走，改、改、改，结果文章失去自然的风趣。

作什么他都出全力，为是对得起人，而成绩未必好。

可是他愿费力不讨好，不肯希望“歪打正着”。

他不常喝酒，一喝起来他可就认了真，喝酒就是喝酒;醉?活该!在他思索的时候，他是心细如发。

他以为不必思索的事，根本不去思索，譬如喝酒，喝就是了，管它什么。

他的心思忽细忽粗，正如其为人忽柔忽硬。

他并不是疯子，但是这种矛盾的现象，使他“阔”不起来。

对于自己物质的享受，他什么都能将就;对于择业择友，一点也不将就。

Passage 1Up，Up，and Away！An adventurer who became the first person to fly across the English Channel on a cluster of balloons has launched a house into the sky just like in the hit movie Up-in reparation for a more ambitious journey and a new record．Fearless Trappe，from North Carolina，stepped into the cartoon themed home before flying above the Leon International Balloon Festival in Mexico more than a week ago．The 38-year-old Trappe was using the event as a warm-up for his planned trans-Atlantic flight scheduled for next summer．He aims to complete the 2，500-mile journey in a seven-foot lifeboat carried by 365 huge helium balloons．The brave man is learning to sail a lifeboat，in case he needs to ditch into the ocean during the danger-filled adventure．He sill fly at between 18，000 feet and 25，000 feet，beating his previous world altitude record of 21，600 feet，and must fly uninterrupted a distance ten times longer than his previous world record of 230 miles in order to succeed．The adventurer Trappe，who holds records for crossing the Alps，flying the most cluster balloons，and the longest distance，has spent his entire career，building up to this ambitious plan．“I didn’t wake up one day and think：‘I’ going to fly across the Atlantic，’”he said．“Every attempt before this was prepared for this fight，I’ve been training for a long time”．1．The adventurer flew across the English Channel to__________．A．test the balloons B．launch a houseC．shoot a hit movie D．prepare for breaking a record2．To finish the journey，he will fly a distance of__________．A．2500 miles B．18，000 feet C．25，000 feet D．230 miles 3．About the ambitious journey，which is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．When he will fly B．How high he sill flyC．How far he will fly D．How long it will take him4．How many world records does

in mindD．Trappe never thought of crossing the Atlantic beforePassage 2Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher，and the teacher will ask us some questions．Sometimes，the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class．When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics，remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying．You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends---you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent，waiting to hear what you have to say．You must speak so that they can hear you---loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself．Remember，too，that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you．The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease but the situation is somewhat different from that of a ordinary conversation．You must take special care that you can be heard．1．When you speak to the class，you should speak ______．A．as slowly as possible B．in a low voice C．loudly D．forcefully 2．Usually，when you speak to the class，the class is _______．A．noisy B．quiet C．having a rest D．serious 3 The situation in the class is ______ that in your house．A．not very different from B．sometimes the same asC．sometimes not the same as D．not the same as4．If you are having a conversation with an official，the most important thing for you is ______．A．to show your ability B．to be very gentleC．to make sure that you can be heard D．to put the official at ease 5．The main idea of this passage is ______．A．that we should talk in different ways in different situationsB．that we must speak loudlyC．that we must keep silent at any timeD．that we must talk with the classPassage 3About 21，000 young people in 17 American states do not attend classes in school buildings．Instead，they receive their elementary and high school education by working at home on computers．The Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public “cyberschools．” and that is about twice as many as two years ago．The money for students to attend a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they live．Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools．They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well．Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed．These people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools．They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school．Whatever the judgement of cyberschools，they are getting more and more popular．For example，a new cyberschool called Commonwealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall．It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen．Children get free equipment for their online education．This includes a computer，a printer，books and technical services．Parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their computers when necessary．Students at cyberschools usually do not know one another．But 56 such students who finished studies at Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School recently met for the first time．They were guests of honor at their graduation．1．What do we know from the text about students of a cyberschool？A．They have to take long bus rides to school．B．They study at home rather than in classrooms．C．They receive money from traditional public schools．D．They do well in traditional school programs．2．What is a problem with cyberschools？A．Their equipment costs a lot of money．B．They get little support from the state government．C．It is hard to know students' progress in learning．D．The students find it hard to make friends．3．Cyberschools are getting popular became _______．A．they are less expensive for studentsB．their students can work at their own speedC．their graduates are more successful in societyD．they serve students in a wider age range4．We can infer that the author of the text is _______．A．unprejudiced in his description of cyberschoolsB．excited about the future of cyberschoolsC．doubtful about the quality of cyberschooisD．disappointed at the development of cyberschoolsPassage 4South Africa hosted the fifth BRICS Summit in March 2013，which completedthe first cycle of BRICS summits，BRICS is an acronym for the powerful grouping of the world's leading up-and-coming economies，namely Brazil，Russia，India，China and South Africa．The BRICS aims to achieve peace，security，development and cooperation．It also seeks to contribute to the development of humanity and build a more stable and fairer world．The industry leaders from the business communities of the five countries agreed that the BRICS countries will actively support industrialization on the African continent in order to contribute significantly to its development and to expand trade links between Africa and BRICS．The global economic situation，though improving，continues to remain uncertain with the Euro-crisis a major concern．The task ahead is to build on these developments and BRICS countries remain committed to the cause of promoting sustainable growth．Greater economic cooperation among BRICS countries can be significantly important，which will prove beneficial for global economic growth．According to Dr．Rob Davies，South African Minister of Trade and Industry，the African continent is recognized as the second fastest growing continent after Asia．There are four drivers of the economic growth in African continent．These are the boom in mineral products in the African continent，the development of the service industries，the benefit of not having the financial crisis，and infrastructure(基础设施）development．Davies also adds that other BRICS countries have advantage of large populations providing big home markets for their products．The South African population is small compared to other BRICS countries，but if you add up numbers on continent then you have a critical mass that can support the new industrial wave in Africa：That is why the South African needs to create large trading blocks across large parts of African continent．1．“BRICS” refers to______．A．t he most active economy group in today’s worldB．t he most powerful economies in western worldC．l eading countries with fast development of humanityD．t he most stable and secure countries in the world2．From the text we know that industrialization in Africa will______．A．give financial supports to all African countriesB create trade opportunities for both Africa and BRICSC make significant development in the powerful groupsD．expand sustainable economic cooperation in different continents3．The author believes greater cooperation among BRICS will______，A．promote global economic growth B．bring more challengesC．narrow the gap of development D．solve Europe’s economic crisis 4．Which of the following is the driver of the economic growth in Africa？______．A．T he development of business industryB．P rotective exploration in mineral productsC．T he recovery of the infrastructureD．T he benefits of having no financial crisisPassage 5What makes a person a scientist？Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others？The answer is “no”．It isn't the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools which makes him a scientist．You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter．You will probably agree，too，that knowing how to investigate，how to discover information，is important to everyone．The scientist，however，goes one step further；he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer he gets to many questions is into a large set of ideas about how the world works．The scientist's knowledge must be exact．There's no room for half right or right just half the time．He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit．What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times．If the conditions are different，any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions．This is one reason why investigations are important in science．Albert Einstein，who developed the Theory of Relativity，arrived at this theory through mathematics．The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigation．Einstein's ideas were proved to be correct．A scientist uses many tools for measurements．Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations．1．What makes a scientist according to the passage？A．The tools he uses．B．His ways of learning．C．The way he uses his tools．D．The various tools he uses．2．“…knowing how to investigate，how to discover information，is important to everyone．”The writer says this to show_______．A．the importance of informationB．the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleC．the importance of thinkingD．the difference between carpenters and ordinary people3．A sound scientific theory should be one that_______．A．works under one set of conditions at one time and also works under the same conditions at other timesB．leaves no room for improvementC．doesn't allow any change even under different conditionsD．can be used for many purposes4．What is the main idea of the passage？A．Scientists are different from ordinary people．B．The Theory of Relativity．C．Exactness is the core of science．D．Exactness and way of using tools are the keys to making of a scientist．Passage 6A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal attack—when a touch ofhumor might well enable us to win．Consider the case of a young friend of mine，who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum about being late on the job．Although there was a good reason for Sam’s a being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer．His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech．Yes，the boss was．Sam entered the office at 9：35．The place was as quiet as a locker room；everyone was hard at work．Sam’s supervisor came up to him．Suddenly，Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand．“How do you do！” he said．“I’m Sam Maynard．I’m applying for a job，which，I understand，became available just 35 minutes ago．Does the early bird get the worm？”The room exploded in laughter．The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his office．Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win，a laugh．Humor is a most effective，yet frequently neglected，means of handling the difficult situations in our lives．It can be used for patching up differences，apologizing，saying “no”，criticizing，getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face．For some jobs，it’s the only tool that can succeed．It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel．For example，many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum．1．Why was Sam late for his job？A．Because he was ill．B．Because he got up late．C．Because he was caught in a traffic jam．D．He was busy applying for a new job．2．The main idea of this passage is ________．A．Sam Maynard saved his job with humorB．humor is important in our livesC．early bird gets the wormD．humor can solve racial discriminations3．The phrase “clamped off” in Paragraph 3 means ________．A．tried to hold back B．tried to set C．charged D．gave out 4．Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage？A．Many lose life’s battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor．B．It wasn’t the first time that Sam came late for his work．C．Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8：30．D．Humor is the most effective way of solving problems．Passage 7BEIJING，March 9—The central government will require an additional three years of use for official vehicles for ministers and governors to reduce the costs of purchasing new cars，media have reported．The new rule has been applied among all Party and government departments nationwide，the Beijing News reported on Tuesday．The new rule has not yet been made public，said Li，a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference National Committee．Under the old rules，the cars used by minister-level officials could be replaced as often as every five years，Li said．These officials will also keep the same cars when they assume new posts，he added．The new rule also reiterated that officials ranking below minister-or-governor-levels should not be allocated cars．The cars possessed by their departments should be used on demand．“It violates the rules for lower-ranking—even county-level-officials to be allocated cars，” Li said．Purchases of vehicles for official use have been heavily investigated，as they account for a large expenditure of public funds every year．A survey on the Web news www．ifeng．com found 64 percent of respondents believed the new rule will be difficult to carry out because it is related to officials’interests．“Local government departments had halted approvals for requests for such vehicles and had started to work on new quotas under the new rules，” Li said．“The future reform of official vehicle use will introduce market mechanisms and monetization．”Premier Wen Jiabao said in the annual government work report on Saturday that expenditures on such vehicles will not increase in 2011 compared with a year ago．Beijing’s standing deputy mayor Ji Lin last week said the municipal government will release the number of vehicles for official use in the capital as early as at the end of this month．Earlier this month，the Minister of Finance had published a rule regulating the budgets for such vehicles．1．What is the purpose of the new rule allocating vehicles among officials？A．To promote a low-carbon lifestyle．B．To cut down the present huge expenditures of purchasing cars．C．To make good use of budgets for official cars．D．To solve the problem of severe traffic jam．2．How often could the cars used by minister-level officials be replaced according to the new rule？A．Every 3 years．B．Every 5 years．C．Every 8 years．D．Every 10 years．3．What about the officials ranking below minister-or-governor levels in terms of official vehicles？A．They can still possess special cars．B．They can use their own private cars．C．They can use cars whenever officially necessary．D．They can be allocated second-hand cars．4．What is the public’s attitude toward the new rule’s fulfillment？A．Uncertain．B．Optimistic．C．Indifferent．D．Passive 5．From the passage，we can infer that_________．A．the government is determined to carry out the new ruleB．the new rule has not yet been made publicC．the new rule will benefit official’s interestD．the new rule is applied to minister-level officialsPassage 8Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States，yet she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies．As she once said to herself：" I would never sit back in a rocking chair，waiting for someone to help me．" No one could have had a more productive old age．She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State，one of five boys and five girls．At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until，at twenty-seven，she married Thomas Moses，the hired hand of one of her employers．They farmed most of their lives，first in Virginia and then in New York State，at Eagle Bridge．She had ten children，of whom five survived；her husband died in 1927．Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby，but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time．Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted．Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art，and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York．Between the 1930's and her death，she produced some 2，000 pictures：detailed and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long，with a wonderful sense of color and form．"I think really hard till I think of something really pretty，and then I paint it" she said．1．According to the passage，Grandma Moses began to paint because she wanted to________．A．make herself beautiful B．keep activeC．earn more money D．become famous2．Grandma Moses spent most of her life________．A．nursing B．painting C．embroidering D．farming 3．The underlined word “portrayals ”means________．A．descriptions B．expressions C．explanations D．impressions 4．From Grandma Moses' description of herself in the first paragraph，it can be inferred that she was________．A．independent B．pretty C．rich D．nervous 5．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？A．Grandma Moses：Her Life and Pictures．B．The Children of Grandma Moses．C．Grandma Moses：Her Best Exhibition．D．Grandma Moses and Other Older Artists．Passage 9Scientists say they now have proof to support the old-fashioned advice that it’s best to sleep on a problem．They say sleep strengthens the memory and helps the brain organize the masses of information we receive each day．The lead researcher Bob Stickgold at Harvard Medical School said，“Sleep helps us draw rules from our experiences．It’s like knowing the difference between dogs and cats even if it’s hard to explain．”The US research team studied how well students remembered connections between words and symbols，reports New Scientist．They compared how the students performed if they had had a sleep between seeing the words and having the test，and if they had not slept．They found that people were better able to remember lists of related words after a night’s sleep than after the same time spent awake during the day．They also found it easier to remember themes that the words had in common．But they forgot around one in four more themes if they had been awake．Prof．John Groeger，University of Surrey’s Sleep Research Centre，said，“People have been trying for years to find out what the purpose of sleep is，as we know thatonly certain parts of it have a restorative value．”“We form and store huge numbers of experiences in the head every day，and sleep seems to be the way the brain deals with them all．”1．The phrase “to sleep on a problem” in Paragraph 1 most likely means “________”．A．to pay full attention to a problemB．to wait until the next day for a decisionC．to sleep to forget a problemD．to have difficulty in sleeping2．In the study by the US research team，students were asked to________．A．put together words of similar meaningsB．remember words and their meaningsC．show their knowledge of wordsD．make up lists of related words3．Which of the following may be easier to remember？A．Themes learned right before the test．B．Rules from personal experiences．C．Words learned before a good sleep．D．Ideas stored together in the brain．4．What may be the importance of the research？A．It shows that sleep may help us manage information．B．It helps find out the common themes of words．C．It tells us that more sleep can improve health．D．It proves the value of old-fashioned advice．Passage 10It’s 5：00 in the morning when the alarm rings in my ears．I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom．I turn on the light and put on my glasses．The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully．Usually I go for a long run，but today I choose my favorite exercise DVDinsanity．Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes．My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement．As I near the end of the exercise，I feel extremely tired，but a smile is of my face．It’s a smile because the DVD is over，but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit．Some people enjoy shopping，smoking，food，work，or even chocolate．But I need exercise to get through each day．Some shake heads when they see me run through the town．Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake．They raise their eyebrows，surprised by my “no thank you，” or by my choice to have a salad．Over the years，I have learned it’s okay to just say “no．” I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want to eat．So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5：00 a．m．？What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream？Commitment．A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety，increases self–confidence and energy，extends life and above all improves my body shape．This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right．It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out．1．Why is there a smile on the author’s face in the morning？A．Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully．B．Because she finishes her favorite exerciseC．Because she enjoys the interesting DVDD．Because she feels a sense of achievement2．Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2？A．She doesn’t like others r politelyB．She likes to make others surprisedC．Others don’t understand what she does．D．Others try to help her by offering her food3．What does the underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean？A．Good health B．Firm beliefC．A strong power D．A regular half4．What can we learn about the author from the text？A．She acts in a strange wayB．She wants to look different from othersC．She aims to develop a good body shapeD．She has difficult getting along with othersPassage 11“Drink your milk．It’s good for you！” You’ve probably heard that many times，and it’s true．Milk contains calcium，which is necessary for keeping bones and teeth healthy and strong．The US government even requires milk as part of the National School Lunch Program，saying that students should drink one cup of fat-free or low-fat milk every meal．However，a group of doctors asked the government to take it away from the lunch program．The US ‘Physician Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) says，“Milk is high in sugar，fat and animal protein，” all of which have negative effects on health．The PCRM says there are better and healthier ways to get calcium such as eating beans，broccoli，cereals and tofu．Orange juice and soymilk that have calcium added to them also supply the nutrient．“One of the only reasons people prefer milk is because it is going to help build strong bones，” says Dr Neal Barnard，president of the PCRM．But milk may not be the best way to get calcium your body needs．Of course，calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth，but there are other things that affect your bone strength，such as genes，how much vitamin D you take in，and getting an hour’s worth of exercise every day．Some people disagree with the idea that milk isn’t important．Keri Gans，an American Dietitian，says “I don’t think it’s irresponsible to take this beverage that children enjoy it very much，especially among those who are unable to meet their nutrient needs for the day，and remove it from the lunch line．”The U．S government is now considering the request of the PCRM，but a decision may be a long way off．Meanwhile，Marion Nestle，a professor puts it best：“Milk certainly has nutrients．Other food has the same nutrients．It’s just food．As with other food，too much might be a problem．”1．The U．S．government requires milk as part of the National School Lunch Program ．A．as a result of the request of the

Wales，almost made the journey to London once before，at the turn of the century．“There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings return from Swansea — too much I thought．All my money went to the family then，” he said．During the next two days Mr Evans will be taken on a short tour of London to see the sights．Top of his list is a visit to the House of Parliament organized by his MP，Mr Gareth Wardell．The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided for him if he gets tired．“I don’t like the chair —people will think I am getting old．”he said．His secret for a long

高考英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解A car dealership in my hometown of Albuquerque was selling six to eight new cars a day. I was also told that 72 percent of this dealership's first-time visitors returned for a second visit.I was curious. How does a car dealership get 72 percent of its first-time visitors to return? And how can they sell six to eight cars a day in a declining car market?When I walked into Saturn of Albuquerque that Friday, the staff there didn't know me from Adam; yet they shared with me their pricing policy, the profit margin on every model, and staff income. They even opened their training manuals for my review and invited me back on Saturday if I wanted more information.On Sunday, the day after my second visit to the Saturn store, my wife, Jane, and I were walking as we frequently do. On this particular June morning, Jane gently slipped her hand in mine and said tenderly, ＂I don't know if you remember, but today's my fifth anniversary of being cancer-free.＂ I was surprised, partially because I was embarrassed that I had forgotten and, partially because.... Well, I didn't know what to do with Jane's information.The next day, Monday, Jane went off to work teaching school. Still not knowing what to do to mark this special occasion, I did the most impetuous thing I've ever done in my life: I bought a new Saturn. I didn't pick the color or the model, but I paid cash and told them I'd bring Jane in on Wednesday at 4:30. I told them why I was buying the car.On Tuesday, it dawned on me that Jane always wanted a white car. I called the sales consultant at Saturn, and I asked him if he had anything white in the store. He said he had one left but he couldn't guarantee it'd still be available on Wednesday at 4:30 because they were selling so fast. I said I'd take my chances and asked him to put it in the showroom.Wednesday came. Unexpectedly, someone in our family was admitted to the hospital. So, it wasn't until 9:30 Saturday morning when we finally made our way to the Saturn store. Jane had never been in a Saturn store. When we went through the front door, the Lord took control of her feet and her mouth. She saw that little white Saturn coupe all the way across the showroom floor. She quickly passed a multi-colored sea of automobiles, sat in the little white Saturn and said, ＂Oh, what a pretty little car. Can I have a new car?＂ I said, ＂No. Not until our son graduates from college.＂ She said, ＂I'm sick and tired of driving that old Dodge, I want a new car.＂ I said, ＂I promise, just three more semesters and he'll be out.＂Next, Jane walked around to the front of the car. As she looked it over, she let out the most blood-curdling, shrill scream I'd ever heard in 29 years of marriage.Now, before I tell you why Jane screamed, let me tell you what the sales consultant had done. He had ordered a large, professionally engraved sign (white letters on blue). The sign stood alone on the hood of the little white Saturn coupe. It said ＂Congratulations, Jane. This car is yours. Five years cancer-free. Let's celebrate life. From Team Saturn＂Every employee at Saturn of Albuquerque had signed the back of that sign.Jane saw it, screamed, collapsed in my arms and cried loudly. I didn't know what to do. I was intears. I took out my invoice (发票) from the previous Monday, pointing to the white coupe, said, ＂No, honey, this car isn't yours. I bought you this one.＂ I tapped the invoice with my index finger. Jane said, ＂No, I want this one right here.＂While this conversation was going on, there was no one in the store. The sales consultant had arranged it so that we could share the moment alone. Even so, it's impossible to have a lot of privacy when so many people are standing outside the showroom windows looking in. When Jane screamed and collapsed in my arms, I saw everybody outside applaud and begin to cry.（1）Why did the writer visit the Saturn of Albuquerque that Friday?A.
