流泪的蓑衣那件蓑衣，被我的父亲挂在老屋的土墙上。

土墙上有一截嵌入在泥里的木头，有些腐朽了，蓑衣就被挂在了土墙的木头上。

蓑衣轻轻靠在土墙上，当夜晚的风吹穿过窗户，吹进老屋，蓑衣也就开始飘荡。

而很长的时间里，在土墙的角落，蓑衣始终显得有些无趣和落寞。

已经很久了，蓑衣一直挂在那里，落满了灰尘与时光的碎片。

它，好像被父亲遗忘了，被无情地挂在了土墙上。

于是，蓑衣开始在一个下雨的夜里流泪了，它开始回忆起自己辉煌而又辛苦的一生。

它想，那应该是在很久远年代的一个雨天，有一个放牧的男子，荷蓑荷笠地走进了江南的细雨，或许是要去见一个想往已久的女子。

而在唐朝风雨里，有一个诗人吟唱着这样的词句：“青箬笠，绿蓑衣，斜风细雨不须归。

”蓑衣想到自己的前生，心里一阵喜悦。

但它更愿意回忆的是和我父亲相依为命的苦涩的日子。

那时候，父亲在农村，在春三月的细雨里，父亲牵着牛，戴着斗笠，披着蓑衣行走在田埂上。

或者，父亲在冬水田里，赶着牛犁田。

或者，在稻田里插秧，蓑衣紧紧地贴着父亲的脊背。

蓑衣被冷漠了一个冬天，终于感受到了来自我父亲的温暖。

于是感动的泪水顺着蓑衣流了下来，滴落在冬水田里。

多少个这样的雨天，蓑衣紧贴着我父亲的脊背，行走在田间地头。

高一（初升高）英语衔接阅读理解作业10英语阅读AIf you look at the top of your phone, you'll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The "G" stands for the "generation" （代）of your mobile network. But the symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.On March 30, Shanghai vice-mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X Smartphone. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data（数据） faster than ever before. But 5G won't just bring faster mobile internet. People can use it for many other things as well.For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today's self-driving test cars have one problem-lag（延迟）. When the car "sees" an obstacle（障碍物）, it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions, However, it will be some time before it sends and receives this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer.5G could also be used to power the internet of things （IoT）, that is, a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology.The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically （自动地） place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside. （1）Which city was 5G tested for the first time?A. Beijing.B. Shanghai.C. Shenzhen.（2）What can we infer（推测） according to the passage?.A. 5G is widely used in China now.B. 5G networks will make our lives more convenient.C. There are no symbols at the top of our phones.（3）The writer uses self-driving cars as an example to .A. explain how 5G's fast speed can be helpfulB. warn about the possible dangers of self-driving carsC. explain how self-driving cars work（4）What is IoT according to the passage?A. A robot that can do housework.B. An online store where you can buy anything.C. A large online network that connects things and people.（5）Which sentence is right according to the passage?A. 5G will help us buy eggs quickly.B. Robots can help us buy eggs online.C. Our refrigerator can order eggs online for us.阅读理解BAccording to a 2018 study from San Francisco State University, nearly 2. 4 billion people around the world used a smartphone in 2017. By the end of 2019, more than a third of the global population will be using a smartphone.However, smartphone technology can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, itsends us unlimited amounts of information. On the other hand, using a smartphone may become an addiction.Erik Peper and Richard Harvey are both health education professors at San Francisco State university. They led the study. Peper explains that smartphone addiction forms connections in the brain that are similar to drug addiction.And these connections form slowly over time. Also, addiction to social media may affect our emotional state. The two professors asked 135 university students about their habit of smartphone use and their feelings. They found that students who used their phones the most reported higher levels of feeling lonely, depressed and anxious. Peper and Harvey do not blame users for their technology addiction. They believe it is the tech industry's desire to make more money that is to blame for the technology addiction. The researchers warm that workers in the technology industry know how to control our brains and turn us into addicts.But the researchers say that we can limit our brains to be less addicted to our phones and computers. Enk Peper suggests timing off our phones before we sleep or do something important. The researchers also suggest taking control of when and where you answer texts or emails. You do not need to answer them all. And you certainly don't need to answer them as soon as you get them. They also suggest putting limits on the time you spend on social media. If you want to catch up with friends on Facebook, set aside a small amount of time to it. You should focus on important tasks and do not allow technology to disturb you.（1）What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. Smartphone use has become extremely common.B. Most young people can't live without smartphones.C. Smartphones make our life more colorful and convenient.D. Most people consider smartphones as the greatest invention.（2）The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means smartphone technology____.A. has a brilliant futureB. can be better than most people thinkC. has both advantages and disadvantageD. can give us unlimited amounts of information（3）What did Enk Peper and Richard Harvey find about smartphone use?A. It can help reduce loneliness.B. It's more popular with students.C. It's preferred by young people feeling lonely.D. It can harm students' emotional state in many ways.（4）What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us?A. Social media isn't that important to us.B. We can train our brine to do many things.C. We shouldn't become addicted to our smartphones.D. There are ways to deal with Smartphone use addiction.（5）Which of the followings is True?A. We can use smartphones to deal with loneliness.B. An addiction can't be controlled if we still use smartphones.C. There were nearly 2. 4 billion people using smartphones in the world in 2017.D. Stop using smartphones if you don't know when and where you should answer the emails.高一（初升高）英语衔接阅读理解作业11阅读理解 CAt some point in life, many people develop a mental （精神） problem.While most people get over it, for others it doesn't go away easily.The WHO says that about 20 percent of teenagers worldwide suffer from mental illness. It's thought that the number of teenagers with mental illness around the world will increase by half by 2020. It will become one of the main causes of illness, and even death.In China, the picture isn't bright, either. About one tenth of teenagers under the age of 17 have a mental health challenge.The world is changing fast. Study and relationships have always caused stress, but today the stress is much higher than before, the WHO said.A research centre in Oxford University says that young people today have big stresses at school. For example, they experience bullying （欺凌）. In a 2017 report, the centre noted that the Internet was a special source （渠道） of stress. Online, young people often see "messages about perfection" and this causes the young "great uncertainty about their futures", says the centre.Also, according to China Daily, Chinese people don't ask for help with their mental problems. They fear that others will think less of them if they say that they are in mental trouble. Elaine Peng, a US mental health educator, makes a similar point. And in the UK, over three quarters of young people believe their mental problems have a social stigma. It is reported in 2017 that a quarter of young UK people wouldn't ask for help if they developed a mental problem.Young people who don't ask for help for their condition may be creating problems for themselves in the future. Elaine Peng warned that, "If we hide our mental health, it may remain a problem forever.""My message for young people is, if you feel something is wrong within you—ask for help," he told China Daily.（1）Which of the following is NOT the cause of stress according to the passage?A. Heavy schoolworkB. Being bullied at school.C. Some information from the Internet.D. Certainty about the future.（2）Why don't Chinese people ask for help with their mental problems?A. They don't think them serious.B. They can get over them in time.C. They can keep their mental health secret.D. They are afraid of being looked down upon.（3）What does the underlined word "stigma" most probably mean in Chinese?A. 羞耻B. 印象C. 援助D. 危害（4）Elaine Peng advised the teenagers with mental illness to ______.A. think less of themselvesB. avoid being bulliedC. ask for help as soon as possibleD. stay away from the Internet.（5）The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A. ask research centers for helpB. tell about teenagers' stressesC. call public attention on teenagers with mental illnessD. show some different opinions from different countries阅读理解 DMy first day of school was very interesting and couldn't be easily forgotten. I went to my science class in the morning and found a seat in the back. I waited there for 15 minutes before the bell rang. The science teacher told us about some class rules. No one talked to me and I didn't talk to anyone else. I was one of those very shy girls. After the science class, I had an English class. I thought it would be boring but later I found it very funny. When the classes of the morning ended I went to lunch. I sat outside the dining room with no one to talk to and no food because I was too nervous to join the lunch line. I kept looking around hoping to see someone I knew but I never saw anyone. Lunch ended and I went to have my art class. I was the first one there and not even my teacher was there yet. So I sat at my desk and started drawing some pictures. I didn't notice the rest of the class walking in or the girl that was standing behind me till I was surprised by the voice, "So what are you drawing?" It was a girl who had really long hair. She ended up being my best friend and one of the kindest and liveliest girls I know. In the next class meeting, the teacher asked us to talk about the past holiday. I was glad to make some new friends in the class. The first day of high school was hard for me but I got through it.（1）What do we know about the writer's science class?A.

It seemed you knew less and less. That is because when you learned a new concept（概念）. You found that there was a lot more to know about it.Usually, people think they need to get more and more information before trying a new idea. There is nothing wrong with learning a lot, but when you let learning get in the way of doing, you will never get going.One of the best ways to learn is to take action and learn from the results that you get from those actions. Don't be afraid of not being perfect and just take the first step. You will go further than those who are still in preparation. It's good to be prepared, but over-preparation in trying to reach a goal won't get you results. The knowledge and skills that you will need will be picked up along the way.If a baby wants to learn how to walk, it doesn't do it by just sitting there and thinking about how to walk. The best way for a baby to walk is to actually get up and start walking. Sure it may fall, but with every fall, it learns what is working and what is not and adjusts（调整）to it. By doing this over and over, it will finally learn to walk. This is the method you should use when you want to achieve your goals as well. It works. Learning more is great but if all you're doing is learning and not taking action, it's time to change that. Just take the first step.（1）When you learned something new, you found there was to know about it.A. lessB. nothingC. everythingD. more（2）Which is NOT true according to the passage?A.

That means the owners can wash their cars less, saving money. Besides, some areas that are short of water do not allow people to wash their cars often.According to another survey, white cars are often sold more than cars of other colors. In China, car buyers say white makes a small car look bigger. Car buyers in other countries also like white. And the research also suggests that there is a lower risk of accidents during the day for white cars compared with darker ones. People also think the temperature inside white cars is lower than that in cars of other colors.At present, every year about 11 percent of cars sold are red and 8 percent are blue. Green has become less popular. In the mid 1990s, green was the most popular color in many places of the world. But today, green cars are hard to find.Sometime in the future, people may not have to choose the color of their car technology may let owners change their car's paint color anytime. （1）You can often see cars in advertisements.A. whiteB. blackC. redD. silv er（2）Car buyers choose grey because they .A. can wash their cars lessB. don't need to wash carsC. can pay less money for carsD. don't allow washing cars（3）According to the passage, white cars look than those of other colors.A. saferB. darkerC. cheaperD. bigger （4）Green cars .A. make up 11% of the cars soldB. are hard to find all the timeC. were the most popular in the mid 1990sD. were less popular than blue cars in the past（5）In the future, we can .A. choose cars in all colorsB. paint our cars any color anywhereC. buy cars in all colorsD. change our car's paint color anytime高一（初升高）英语衔接阅读理解作业14阅读 AWhat subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can't sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful（压力大的）."For people who are worried about math, posture （姿势） makes a big difference," Erik Paper from San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. That's right – sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams.Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math exam while sitting in a slumped-over （趴倒的） posture, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.Slumping over is a defensive（戒备的） posture. It can bring about bad memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Paper said.Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily benefit（受益） from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported.Good posture isn't just helpful for taking math exams. Sportspeople, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more certain and focus better.（1）What posture can make people feel less stressed during math exams?A. Sitting up straight.B. Hanging your head.C. Lying on your back.D. Raising one hand.（2）What did the scientists ask the college students to do during the test?A. To do sit-ups.B. To count numbers.C. To think carefully.D. To sit in different postures.（3）How many students in the test benefited from the better posture?A. All the 125 students.B. Less than half of them.C. 56 percent of them.D. None of the students.（4）The fourth paragraph is written to explain .A. why slumping over makes exams harder to doB. why slumping over is bad for one's healthC. why some people slump over during examsD. why people are nervous during math exams（5）Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Slump over to Take ExamsB. Sit up to Do MathC. Better Posture for Nervous StudentsD. Good Advice for Better Exams阅读理解 BWhen it comes to helping developing countries, we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find cleanwater supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However, it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas.A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle in order that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK. And probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is very bed for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to" kill two birds with one "and that is always a good thing.（1）The underlined phrase "wind up" in paragraph 2 means .A. 吹风B. 给……上发条C. 摇上D. 利用空气……使……（2）The laptop computer that Mr. Negroponte has designed . A. will be damaged much easier than the normal oneB. has a special handle to access the InternetC. is cheap and can run with extra powerD. can be helpful to find the people's own solutions（3）According to the passage，what benefit can we get from recycling old mobile phones?A. We can reduce the waste to protect the environment.B. We can help children in developing countries reuse the old mobile phones.C. it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users.D. It not only reduces the waste produced by developed countries but also helps the children in developing countries.（4）Mr. Negroponte's cheap computer is mentioned in the passage to .A. illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countriesB. tell us what high technology can help peopleC. show how to find business opportunities in developing countriesD. give an example of how to help developing countries（5）Which is the best idea the author gives us to help the developing countries?A. We need to help people in developing countries to help themselves，not just throw money at the problem.B. We should spend much money helping people in developing countries build more schools and hospitals.C. We should think about giving help to developing countries more often.D. We should help the people in developing countries by improving children's education immediately.高一（初升高）英语衔接阅读理解作业15阅读理解 CMr. and Mrs. Smith have two children, Kevin and Jenny.

But if you don't know exactly how to choose, load, lift and wear them-these all-important accessories （配件）can be a pain in the back. Not to mention the neck, head and shoulders. Backpacks can influence your health. Carrying a heavy load improperly can lead to poor body position; and even hurt the spinal column （脊柱）This can cause muscle strain, headaches, back, neck and arm pain.For example, if it is carried on one shoulder; a heavy backpack forces the muscles and spine to balance the unequal weight. This may increase the possible back problems later in life.More than 50 percent of young people suffer back pain by their teenage years.Research shows that this could be mainly caused （场）improper use of backpacks. Here's some advice to help you carry backpacks comfortably and safely.Choose the right backpack. Forget leather （皮革）! It looks great, but it's far too heavy. Go for canvas（帆布）. Pick a pack that has two wide, adjustable, comfortable shoulder straps（带子）, along with a hip or waist strap, and plenty of pockets. Make sure the pack fits properly and its size is suitable for the wearer's body.Packing it properly. Only put in the pack what is needed for that day. It's a good idea to know what each object weighs. The total weight of the filled pack should be no more than 10 to 15 percent of the wearer's own body weight. Pack heaviest objects close to the body, and place little ones outside, away from the back.Putting the backpack on. Put the pack on a smooth surface, at waist height. Put on the pack, one shoulder at a time, then adjust（调整）the straps to fit comfortably. Remember when lifting a backpack, or anything, to lift using the arms and legs and to bend at the knees.The right way to wear a backpack. Both shoulder straps should be used, and adjusted so that the pack fits the body, without hanging to one side. Backpacks should never be worn over just one shoulder. You should be able to move your hands between the backpack and your back. The waist strap should also be worn.Take the above advice, and you may not complain back pain, numbness or weakness in your arms and legs any more.（1）What could mainly cause some young people to suffer back pain by their teenage years?A.

Passage1Housing is the living places for human beings.As the population keeps climbing, people in the city have to face the reality that housing is in short supply.To solve this problem,New Y ork City planners are challenging tradition and starting to design more“micro units.”Micros,also known as“hotel-style”apartments,usually offer less than200 square feet(18.5square meters)in area.Could you imaging living in150square feet (14square meters)?These units usually have only room for a bed,a table mini-fridge and the basic living essentials.Why is the micro apartment so appealing?The reasons are rather straightforward.It is perfect for single people who don’t have a lot of things.It can also meet the need of people who are short on cash but determined to live in their own places.Micro apartments are very common in cities like Tokyo and Hong Kong,where there are so many people living.Now this tiny housing solution is gaining ground in urban areas in the US,and Canada.The micro apartment is an experiment in simplicity in American culture.So small-scale home life is part of a hot trend in US real estate.Some people are proud of it.Some of them can find the humor and fun in their small places.But not everyone is in favor of the trend.21.According to the passage,the next big trend in US real estate is_______.A.big houseB.micro apartmentC.traditional house22.As the population keeps climbing,people in the city have to face the reality that_______.A.housing is in short supplyB.housing is very sufficientC.housing is a kind of luxury goods23.Why is the micro apartment so appealing?A.It’meets the need of someone.B.It’s very strange.C.It’s excellent.24.Micro apartments are very common in some cities like_______.A.BeijingB.LondonC.Tokyo25.How do people think of the micro apartment?A.Everyone likes it very much.B.Some people think it’s humorous and fun.C.Not everyone is in favor of the trend.26—30题：请根据短文内容判断给出的语句是否正确，正确的写“T”，错误的写“F”，并将答案写在答题纸上。

英语六级阅读理解真题卷及答案-3因考试政策、内容不断变化与调整，下面是给大家供应的阅读理解范文供参考，以下是我给大家整理的英语六级长篇阅读真题-3，期望可以帮到大家whos really addicting you to Technology?A.Nearly everyone i know is addicted in some measure to the internet, wrote tony Schwartz in The New York Times. its a common complaint these days. A steady stream of similar headlines accuse the net and its offspring apps, social media sites and online games of addicting us to distractionB. Theres little doubt that nearly everyone who comes in contact with the net has difficulty concentration than it takes to post a status update. as one person ironically put it in the comments section of Schwartzs online article, As I was reading this very excellent article.I stopped at least half a dozen times to cheek my email.C.Theres something different about this technology: it is both invasive and persuasive. but whos at fault for its overuse? To find solutions, its important to understand what were dealing with.There are four parties conspiring to keep you connected the tech, your boss, your friends and you.D.The technologies themselves and their makers, are the easiest suspects to blame for our diminishing attention spans. Nicholas Carr,author of The Shallows： what the internet isdoing Our brains, wrote, The net is designed to be an interruption system, a machine geared to dividing attention.E.Online services like Facebook, twitter and the like, are called out of manipula-tion--making，products so good that people cant stop using them. after studying these products for several years, I wrote a book about how they do it. I learned it all starts with the business model. since these services rely on advertising revenue, The more frequently you use money they make.Its no winder these companies employ teams of people focused on engineering their services to be as engaging as possible. these products arent habit-forming by chance; its by design. they have an incentive to keep us hooked.F.However, as good as these services are, there are simple steps we can take to keep them at bay.For example, we can change how often we receive the distracting notifications that trigger our urge to check.According to adam marchick, ceo of mobile marketing company kahuna, less than 15 percent of smartphone users ever bother to adjust their notificationsetlings--meaning the remaining 85 percent of us default to the app makers every preset trigger.Google and Apple have made it far too difficult to adjust these settings so its up to us to take steps ensure we set these triggers to suit our own needs, not the needs of the app makers.G.While companies like Facebook harvest attention to generate revenue from advertisers, other technologies have no such agenda. take email, for example. this system couldnt care less how often you use it. Yet to many, email is the most habit-forming medium of all.We check email at all hours of theday--were obsessed, but why? Because thats what the boss wants.For almost all white-collar jobs, A slowResponse to a message could hurt not only your reputation but also your livelihood.H.Your friends are also responsible.Think about this familiar scene.People gathered around a table, enjoying food and each others company. theres laughter and a bit of kidding. Then, during an interval in the conversation, someone takes out their phone to check who knows what.Barely anyone notices and no one says a thing.I.Now imagine the same dinner,but instead of checking their phone, the person belches(打嗝)-loudly.Everyone notices. unless the meal takes place in a beer house, this is considered bad manners. The impolite act violates the basic rules of etiquette. one has to wonder why dont we apply the same social norms to checking phones during meals, meetings and conversations as we do to other antisocial behaviors somehow, we accept it and say nothing when someone offends.J.The reality is taking ones phone out at the wrong time is worse than belching because, unlike other minor offense, checking tech is contagious. once one person looks at their phone,other people feel compelled to do the same, starting a chain reaction. the more people are on their phones, the fewer people are talking until finally you are the only one left not reading email or checking twitter. from a societal perspective, phone checking is less like belching in public and more like another bad habit. our phones are like cigarettes-something todo when were bored or when our fingers need something to toy with seeing others enjoy a smoke,or sneak a quick glance, is too tempting to resist and soon everyone is doing it.K.The technology, your boss, and your friends, all influence how often you find yourself using (oroverusing )these gadgets. but theres still someone who deserves scrutiny--the person holding the phone.L. I have a confession. even though i study habit-forming technology for a living, disconnecting is not easy for me.Im online far more than Id like like Schwartz and so many others, I often find myself distracted and off tack.I wanted to know why so i began self-monitoring to try to understand my behavior. thats when i discovered an uncomfortable truth. i use technology as an escape. when Im doing something Id rather not do, or when Im someplace Id rather not attention was often a good thing, like when passing time on public transportation, but frequently my tech use was not so benign. when i faced difficult work, like thinking through an article idea or editing the same draft for the hundredth time, for example, a more sinister screen would draw me in. i could easily escape discomfort.temporarlly.by answering email or browsing ing the web under the pretense of so-calledresearch. though I desperately wanted to lay blame elsewhere, i finally had to admit that my bad habits had less to do with new-age.technology and more to do with old-fashioned procrastination(拖延)M.its easy to blame technology for being so distracting, but distraction is nothing new. Aristotle and Socrates dehated nature of “akrasia”--our tendency to do things agninst ourinterests. If were honest with ourselves, tech is just another way to occupy our time and minds,if we werent on our devices. Wed likely do similarly unproductive.N.personal technology is indeed more engaging than ever, and theres no doubt companies are engineering their products and services to be more compelling and attractive but would want it any other way the intended result of making something better is that people use it more. thats not necessarily a problem, thats progress.O.These improvements dont mean we shouldnt attempt to control our use of technology. In order to make sure it doesnt control us, we should come to terms with the fact that its more than the technology itself thats responsible for our habits. our workplace culture, social norns and individual behaviors all play a part to put technology in its place, we must be conscious not only of how technology is changing, but also of how it is changing us.36.Online services are so designed that the more they are used, the more profit they generate.37. The author admits using technology as an escape from the task at hand.38. Checking phones at dinners is now accepted as normal but not belching39. To make proper use of technology, we should not only increase our awareness of how it is changing but also how itis impacting us.40. Most of us find it hard to focus on our immediate tasks because of internet distractions41. when one person starts checking their phone, the others will follow suit.42.The great majority of smartphone users don t take the trouble to adjust their settings to suit their own purposes.43.The internet is regarded by some as designed to distract our attention.44.

【导语】有句话说:得阅读者得语⽂，的确如此。

阅读理解在语⽂考试中的占分⽐例很⼤，⽽且得分也不容易。

⽆忧考准备了以下内容，供⼤家参考。

⽗爱昼夜⽆眠 ⽗亲最近总是萎靡不振，⼤⽩天躺在床上鼾声如雷，新买的房⼦如⾳箱⼀般把他的声⾳“扩”得⽓壮⼭河，很是影响我的睡眠——我是⼀名昼伏夜“出”的⾃由撰稿⼈，并且患有神经衰弱的职业病。

我提出要带⽗亲去医院看看，他这个年龄嗜睡，没准就是⽼年痴呆症的前兆。

⽗亲不肯，说他没病。

再三动员失败后，我有点恼⽕地说，那你能不能不打鼾，我多少天没睡过安稳觉了！⼀⾔既出，顿觉野蛮和“忤逆”，我怎么能⽤这种⼝⽓跟⽗亲说话？⽗亲的脸在那⼀刻像遭了寒霜的柿⼦，红得即将崩（kuì），但他终于什么话也没说。

第⼆天，我睡到下午４点才醒来，难得如此“⼀⽓呵成”。

突然想起⽗亲的鼾声，推开他的房门，原来他不在。

不定到哪⼉玩⿇将去了，我⼀直⿎励他出去多交朋友。

看来，虽然我的话冲撞了⽗亲，但他还是理解我的，这就对了。

⽗亲在农村穷了⼀辈⼦，我把他接到城⾥来和我⼀起⽣活，没让他为柴⽶油盐操过⼀点⼼。

为买房⼦，我⽋了⼀*债。

这不都得靠我拼死拼活写⽂章挣稿费慢慢还吗？我还不到３０岁，头发就开始“落英缤纷”，这都是⽤脑过度、睡眠不⾜造成的。

我容易吗？作为⼉⼦，我的要求就是让他给我⼀个安静的⽩天，养精蓄（ruì）。

我觉得这并不过分。

⽗亲每天按时回来给我做饭，吃完后让我好好睡，就出去了。

有⼀天，我随⼝问⽗亲，最近在⼲啥呢？⽗亲⼀愣，⽀吾着说，没，没⼲啥。

我突然发现⽗亲的⽪肤⽐原先⽩了，⼈却瘦了许多。

我夹些⾁放进⽗亲碗⾥，让他注意加强营养。

⽗亲说，他是“贴⾻膘”，⾝体棒着呢。

转眼到了年底，我应邀为⼀个朋友所领导的⼚⼦写专访，对⽅请我吃晚饭。

由于该⼚离我的住处较远，他们⽤车来接我。

饭毕，他们⼜送我⼀套“三枪”内⾐，并让我随他们到附近的浴室洗澡。

雾⽓（liáo）绕的浴池边，⼀个擦背⼯正在⼀肥硕的躯体上刚柔并济地运作。

阅读理解-细节理解三1、 As the Earth warms from the increase of carbon dioxide in its atmosphere, the oceans that cover 70 percent of its surface are warming too. This warming will likely benefit some sea species at the expense of others.A study in the May 20 issue of the journal Nature confirmed that there has been a warming trend in the world’s oceans since 1993, as the waters have absorbed much of the extra energy in the planet’s atmosphere.The warming that has already occurred, and is expected to continue in the coming decades, will likely spell bad news for many ocean species, such as corals and species that live in the cold waters of the planet’s poles. But some creatures beneath the ocean surface might actually have an advantage in the newly wanned waters.A 2008 study, for example, said that a warming of just a few degrees Fahrenheit in Antarctic waters could make them suitable to sharks,which haven’t lived in the area for about 40 million years. It’s easier for sharks to keep their high metabo lism in warmer waters. If sharks do move into the area,they could cause damage to the existing ecosystems of the oceans around Antarctica.A study of starfish found these typical ocean creatures grew faster in water at warmer temperatures and higher carbon dioxide levels ( another result of all the extra greenhouse gas in the atmosphere) than at normal conditions—which is bad news for the shellfishes they live on.Work by Jeremy Jackson, a professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California at San Diego, suggests that ocean warming—along with other threats such as overfishing and habitat destruction—could change once complex ocean ecosystems into ones that favor simpler species, such as microbes, toxic algal blooms and jellyfishes.1.How is Paragraph 3 developed?A.By giving examples.B.By analyzing causes.C.By making comparisons.D.By making classifications.2.What can we know about sharks from the fourth paragraph?A.They are native to Antarctic waters.B.They do harm to the whole ecosystem.C.They’re adaptable to warmer water conditions.D.They threaten simpler species in Antarctic waters.3.What will ocean warming likely bring about?A.Promoting the growth of starfish.B.An ecosystem of smaller creatures.C.Different food sources for sea creatures.D.Damaging living places of deep-sea species.4.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To explain why ocean warming benefit some species.B.To introduce how creatures survive in warmer oceans.C.To clarify some misunderstandings about ocean warming.D.To show which creatures will benefit from warmer oceans.2、 Steven Weinberger is the director of linguistics in the English Department at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. He says students in his beginning phonetics class are mostly interested in teaching English as a second language. They wanted to study how non-native speakers pronounce different sounds."So we sent the students out to record non-native speakers, and we compared those speakers to each other an d to native speakers of English,” said Steven Weinberger.Professor Weinberger wrote a paragraph for all of the speakers to read. The paragraph uses common words but contains almost all of the sounds used in English. Here is that sixty-nine-word paragraph:“Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snackfor her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.”In 1999, Professor Weinberger put the recordings online. The Speech Accent Archive is for anyone who wants to compare and analyze the accents of different English speakers.Some people think the archive would be better if it included natural speech-people talking freely, not just reading the same words. Professor Weinberger recognizes the strengths and weaknesses of his site.Professor Weinberger says the site gets a million visits a month and would like more people to send in theirown samples of the sixty-nine-word paragraph.Steven Weinberger said, ‘‘Right now we only have samples from about 350 languages, including English. You know, there are 6, 000 languages in the world today, so we need lots more. That’s why the archive work will never be finished.1.Why did Professor Weinberger let his students record non-native speakers?A.Most of his students are interested in phonetics.B.The pronunciation from non-native speakers sounds strange.C.They were gathering materials for the Speech Accent Archive.D.They wanted to know how non-native speakers pronounce different sounds.2.The Speech Accent Archive is intended for ______.A.all the stude nts in Weinberger’s beginning phonetics classB.whoever wants to study the accents of different English speakersC.the teachers of linguistics in the English Department at George Mason UniversityD.raising money by the rate of clicking the website3.The reason why Professor Weinberger chose the words in Para.4 for all of the speakers to read is that _______.A.the words in this paragraph are very easy to readB.people are familiar with the activities included in this paragraphC.most of the speakers are interested in the information shown in this paragraphD.the words are common and almost all of the sounds used in English are contained4.In which part of a website may the passage appear?A.Entertainment.B.Advertisement.C.Life.cation.3、Grandparents Answer a CallAs a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never pleased move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help their children, she politely refused . Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms Gaf finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move to a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to the children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study grandparents com. 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson ‘s decision will influence the grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.“in the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of grate magazine for grandparents .“We now realize how important family is and how important to be near t hem, especially when you’re raining children.”Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.1.Why was Garza’s move a success?A.It strengthened her family ties.B.It improved her living conditions.C.It enabled her make more friends.D.It helped her know more new places.2.What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson’s decision?A.17% expressed their support for it.B.Few people responded sympathetically.C.83% believed it had a bad influence.D.The majority thought it was a trend.3.What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?A.They were unsure of raise more children.B.They were eager to raise more children.C.They wanted to live away from their parents.D.They bad little respect for their grandparent.4.What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?A.Make decisions in the best interests' of their ownB.Ask their children to pay more visits to themC.Sacrifice for their struggling childrenD.Get to know themselves better4、 Spending money on time-saving services reduces stress and boosts (增进) happiness, according to a new research, but shockingly, few of us do it.Whillans, a professor at HBS said, “Buying time helps to protect us from the stress in our lives caused by time pressure, and the feeling that we don’ t have enough minutes in the day to complete our tasks.’’The effect was clearest in the Canadian experiment, in which 60 working adults were given $40 to spend in two different ways. One weekend, they were told to spend the money on a material purchase—a gift for themselves. The next weekend, they wereinstructed to spend the $40 on anything that saved them time, from paying the neighbor’s kid to run errands (跑腿) to taking a Uber instead of a bus.“On the day they made the time-saving purchase, they felt happier, in a better mood, and lower feelings of time stress than on the day they bought a material purchase” said Whillans.The biggest surprise to the researchers was how few people would spend money on time-saving services. When they asked 98 working adults how they would spend a “windfall” of $40, only two percent named a purchase that would save them time.“One reason,’’ said Whillans, “is that we’re very bad at remembering how much we hate doing certain tasks once the suffering has passed. That makes us less likely to take active steps to avoid that over burdened feeling in the future.” But another possible cause is good old-fashioned guilt. “If you feel guilty about getting someone to clean your house for you, then you might get less happiness from outsourcing that task,” said Whillans, or you might just be less likely to spend your money in that way. ’’1.In the Canadian experiment, the participants__________.A.were divided into two groupsB.were given $ 40 every two weeksC.were asked to give money to a neighbor’s kidD.were asked to spend the money in different ways2.According to the author, what can make people less time-stressed?A.Paying much for a concert ticket.B.Taking a regular bus to get to work.C.Employing someone to clean the garden.D.Buying themselves an expensive present.3.When it comes to spending money on ‘‘buying time”, _________.A.no people would like to do itB.a small percentage of people choose to do itC.more people will do it if extra money is givenD.most people like the idea but don’t practice it in life4.What do the underlined words “that overburdened feeling” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A.The good old-fashioned guilt.B.The feeling of spending money on goods.C.The stress of having someone clean your house.D.The discomfort when completing tasks we hate doing.5、 Nowadays,parents worry a lot because their children spend hours and hours in front of the TV screen.Because this doesn’t happen to only one specific family,many experts warn us that there can be some serious effects of children watching violence (暴力)on television.Children who become addicted(上瘾的) to TV sit down and turn on the TV as soon as they get home.Although they have lots of homework,they become absorbed in TV programs.Since they spend tons of time watching TV,they have less time to enjoy real life activities such as playing with friends,playing outdoor sports,or enjoying other kinds of entertainment.There are too many violent scenes on TV.Some experts say there are 25 acts of violence per hour on TV.In addition,there are many experiments by psychologists which show how TV violence influences children.Finally,people worry that children tend to imitate what they watch on TV and may start to behave more violently.What should be done? First of all,the government should regulate TV violence.It should also encourage people to invent and develop new technology which can block violent scenes from the programs children watch.For example,with a rating system(分级制度) and the V-chip,unfit scenes of violence and sex can be blocked out.Second,parents should monitor what their children watch.At the same time,they should make their children interested in real life activities.Then when the children start to spend more time playing with friends or reading books,parents can stop their monitoring.It is a fact that there is more violence on TV today than there was ten years ago.Moreover,violent incidents occur more frequently in real life.It’s time to re alize how harmful watching TV violence is,and it’s time to keep our children from watching violence.1.What experts really worry is that _____.A.children spend too much time watching TV violence has a bad influence on childrenC.children become addicted to TV programsD.children have less time to do their homework2.The author explain how the government should control TV violence by _______.A.giving an exampleB.giving a definitionC.making a comparisonD.presenting research findings3.What does the underlined word “imitate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A.Explain.B.Copy.C.Ignore.D.Avoid.4.What is the author’s purpose for writing this text?A.To express his own worries about TV violence.B.To ask parents to take good care of their children.C.To inform readers of the latest situation about TV violence.D.To call on the whole society to save children from violence.6、 How much weight a baby gains during its first month could determine its IQ, as a new research suggests. The study found that children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow quickly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school.Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in Australia studied 13,800 children who were born at full-term. They found that those who put on 40% of their birth weight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight. Those who experienced the biggest growth in head circumference (头围) also had the highest IQs by the age of six.“Head circumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a greater increase in head circumference in a newly-born baby suggests more rapid brain growth,” says the led author of the study, Dr. Lisa Smithers.She added, “Overall, ne wly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher IQ scores later in life. Those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal (言语) IQ at age 6. This may be because the neural (神经的) structures for verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapid weight gain during the first month could be having a direct cognitive benefit for the children.”Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal (产后的) diet and IQ, but this is the first study of its kind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first month of life. Dr. Smithers says the study further highlights the need for successful feeding of newly-born babies. “We know that many mothers have difficulty establishing breastfeeding in the first week of their babies’ life,” Dr. Smithers said.“The findings of our study suggest that if babies are having feeding problems, there needs to be early intervention (干预) in the management of that feeding.”1.The study mainly shows that ________A.head circumference is certainly connected to IQ.B.babies’ heads grow quickly during the first month.C.full-term babies tend to be cleverer than premature babies. (早产儿)D.the more weight newly-born babies gain, the higher IQ they are likely to have.2.How did the researchers get their conclusion from the study?A.By asking questions.B.By making comparison.C.By having a discussion.D.By referring to documents.3.According to Dr. Lisa Smithers, we can learn that ________A.a kid’s verbal IQ scor es reach its highest at age six.B.this study helps parents find feeding problems.C.quick weight gain benefits newly born babies on verbal IQ.D.this study reminds parents of the need for breastfeeding.4.The study differs from previous ones that _________A.it associates early postnatal diet with IQ.B.it pays attention to the IQ of newly-born babies.C.it emphasizes the significance of successful feeding.D.it first focuses on the relation between IQ and weight gain in the first month of life.答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：1.C; 2.C; 3.A; 4.D解析：1.推理判断题。

Passage 1When a man is taller and stronger than other men, he is sometimes called a giant. Many people think of Chamberlain as a giant. He is so tall that he has a special, extra-long bed to sleep in and a special car with enough space for his long legs. During his playing days, Wilt was paid about $200 000 a year. That was what the president of the United States earned for being president. At that time, it was more than any other athlete in the entire history of sports had ever been paid.Wilt played for the Los Angeles Lakers team. He helped to make it the best team in the Western Division of the National Basketball Association, which is a group of the very finest professional teams in the world.

Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.There are several major language families in the world.

直击2023高考英语（乙卷）阅读理解话题3 饮食文化一、2023真题(共4题；共8分)阅读理解What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.It's thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain's consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK's obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it's no longer "uncool" for boys to like cooking.1．（2分）What do people usually think of British food?A．It is simple and plain.B．It is rich in nutrition.C．It lacks authentic tastes.D．It deserves a high reputation.2．（2分）Which best describes cookery programmes on British TV?A．Authoritative.B．Creative.C．Profitable.D．Influential.3．（2分）Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now?A．20%.B．24%.C．25%.D．33%.4．（2分）What might the author continue talking about?A．The art of cooking in other countries.B．Male chefs on TV programmes.C．Table manners in the UK.D．Studies of big eaters.二、冲刺练(共4题；共32分)5．（8分）阅读理解There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring itwherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.We should embrace our heritage（传统）through our culture's food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.（1）（2分）What's the function of food mentioned in the article?A．To help motivate homesickness.B．To show national identity.C．To reflect a country's history.D．To show a community's superiority.（2）（2分）What does the underlined "it" in Paragraph2 refer to?A．The specific traditional food.B．The national culture.C．A traditional expression of food.D．The old-fashioned taste.（3）（2分）Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant?A．To attach cultural importance to their dishes.B．To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.C．To make the dishes popular among customers.D．To present their own food culture in a new way.（4）（2分）What's the author's attitude towards different food cultures?A．Negative.B．Balanced.C．Unfair.D．Unchangeable. 6．（10分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
