A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins“ Twinkle, twinkle, little star〞 and remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows. Once we have learned something, learning over and over again increases the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and make ourselves remember words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star〞 and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception (例外) to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may lead to a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he may soon forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.41. What is the main idea of paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are easy to remember.42. The author explains the law of overlearning by ______.A. showing research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples43. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is ______.A. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with maths problemsD. a basic step towards future studies44. What is the author’s opinion on crammin g?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. It’s helpful only in a limited way.C. It’s possible to result in poor memory.D. It can increase stdents’ interestBSu Hua is studying at Cambridge, UKIntroductionA lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps. Basic SecurityDo not leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and take them with you, for example lights and saddles(车座).LocksGet a good lock. There are many different types in the shop. Buy one that has been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop.MarkingSecurity marking your bike can act as a deterrent(威慑) to a thief. It can also help the police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle. RegistrationThere are a number of companies who will mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details on their computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to contact you.FinallyKeep a record of the bicycle yourself: its make, model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it, this will prove the bicycle belongs to you.45. Which part of the article gives you information on how to lock up your bicycle when you leave it?A. LocksB. MarkingC. RegistrationD. Basic Security46.

The main purpose of this article is _____________.A. to tell you what to do if your bicycle is stolenB. to suggest ways of keeping your bicycle safeC. to give you advice on where to buy a good lockD. to say why you shouldn’t keep your bicycle in a quiet placeCFriends play a very important part in everyone’s life. Friendship usually develops during childhood. New friends are made when you progress through school. Those friends that you make as a student can usually last long. Friends influence your development, maturity (成熟) and sense of responsibility. A familiar expression is “you can tell a lot about a person by knowing who his friends are.〞 Friendship is based on common interests. If you like sports, most of your friends are likely to be athletic. If you enjoy reading and shopping, most of your friends do the same. Some people call you their friends for the wrong reason. These p eople are not really friends. They are only “friends〞 on the outside, not the insidewhere it counts. They only want to be your friends if it is to their advantage. True friends are there whether you are rich or poor. It is easy to have many so-called “fri ends〞 if you are rich. By this time you should be able to separate your friends into the real or the “false〞.True friends are most special. They are also difficult to find. You can consider yourself very lucky if you have one true friend. This friend is eager to help you whenever necessary. He or she knows you would do the same for them. A true friend is someone you can talk to about any subject or problem. You and your true friend have good understanding of each other. True friends support you, take your side, and build up your confidence.49. “So-called〞 friends refer to ________ .A. fair-weather friendsB. those who want to benefit from youC. the friends who are on the surface onlyD. all of the above50. Which of the following is NOT true?A. You should tell true friends from false ones.B. True friendship is too difficult to find.C. You can share your joys and sorrows with a true friend.D. A true friend will stand by you whatever happens.51. The proper title for this article may be “ 〞.A. FriendlinessB. What friends likeC. True FriendsD. So-called FriendsDTwo Chinese living in South Africa were killed in a robbery (抢劫) on February 5, bringing the total number of Chinese killed in the country to four in less than a month.Chen Jianqing, 35, from Southeast China's FujianProvince, who ran a shop with her husband in a small town 45 kilometers away from South African capital Johannesburg, was shot dead.

号顿市安谧阳光实验学校高中英语限时阅读理解周周练（1）词数: about 290 难度: ★建议用时: 3.5 minutes On my first day in a college classroom, I felt like an overgrown child returning to civilization, after having been lost in the forest for thirty years. There I sat, old enough to be a father to most of the students in the room, yet insecure enough to be their baby brother. We were crowded elbow (肘) to elbow, listening to a professor who looked even younger than the students did. I felt uncomfortable and out of place as the professor carefully explained what she expected us to learn.As I listened, I couldn’t help but think of my own oldest daughter who was now beginning her freshman year in college, just like me. I recalled (回忆) how hard I had tried to instill (逐步培养)self-confidence in her and my other children. So why did I suddenly feel like a scared child myself? When I walked out of that classroom, I had serious doubts about my ability to make it through college. Not until late that night did my thinking change. It was a long-distance telephone call from my daughter that did the trick. She was c ertain that she’d never succeed at college. How familiar her worries sounded!In my confident parental voice, I said, “Doing your best is all the world asks.” The next day in class, those words still echoed in my head. When the professor posed (提出) a question for the class, nobody, including me, dared answer. When I looked around at the fear and uncertainty on the young faces in that room, I knew exactly what I had to do: my best. That’s all the world asks. So I raised my hand, and the professor called on me. I spoke.1.

But then, nothing. There are no jobs at a time when layoffs (裁员) are spreading from industry to industry.Well, sometimes if you are faced with such a situation, the best way is to give up searching for a job. Instead, think about how you can volunteer to do something and where the work is needed. Volunteering is a good way to learn new skills, as well as keep you busy and fulfilled because you are making a contribution. Later you can use that experience to help you get a paying job.As example of the value of volunteering, I just read an article about Mary Marzano, 49, of Maplewood, New Jers ey, whose sister’s home in Galveston was destroyed by a hurricane. Mary discovered from a hotel-employee friend that the hotel threw out sheets and towels each month, so they could provide the guests with new linens (亚麻织品). Realizing that the poor people in Galveston could use the sheets and towels, she began collecting them from some local hotels and shipping dozens of boxes of sheets to the stricken area. Then, she began sending these extra linens to local charities (慈善组织).Though Mary has been doing this mission out of good will on weekends since she works as a teacher, you might do such volunteer work during the work time when you are out of work with little hope of a paid job in sight.Later, when the economy revives (复苏) and there are new job openings again, you can turn your volunteer work into a paid job.1. Why did the hotel throw out sheets and towels each month?A. Because they were too worn to be used.B. Because the hotel was stricken by a hurricane.C. Because the hotel wanted them to be recycled.D. Because they were not suitable for the guests any more.2. Mary Marzano collected the sheets and towels to .A. donate them to the people in needB. use them herselfC. sell them to charity groupsD. give them to her sister3. The author told us the story of Mary Marzano to __ .A. sing praise for a successful volunteerB. let people know about the value of volunteeringC. tell us how to do volunteer workD. describe what volunteer work is like4. From the text we can know that Mary does volunteer work to .A. learn new skillsB. make a contributionC. get prepared for her new jobD. gain more experience for her work5. The purpose of this text is to .A. tell an instructive storyB. give people encouragementC. give unemployed people a suggestionD. analyze a common problem in societyKey: 1~5 DABBCCLOZE王志峰I met Connie the day she was admitted to the hospice ward (病危监护室), where I worked as a volunteer.

高中英语阅读理解专项练习含答案（四）AEvery summer，the Serengeti plains of Africa are worth lions of wild animals begin their 1，800­mile journey northwards on their annual migratory (迁移的) route.In the month of November，polar bears in their thousands cross the Canadian Arctic，as they head towards the ice sheets of Hudson Bay.The sea ice that forms every winter is the key to the bear's managing to exist，for here they hunt for seals (海豹)．The Great Bustard，one of the heaviest flying birds，migrates each year across Europe and Asia to its wintering grounds.Unluckily，these and other migratory animals are in danger from human activity.We have written several articles on climate change and the effect of rising ocean temperatures.Since 1979，ice sheets in the Arctic have gone down by 30 percent.What does this mean for polar bears？They are forced to stay on land for longer periods of time，which delays their search for food.As a result，bears today are 60 pounds lighter than what they were.Besides，smaller bears also produce weaker babies，and their chances of survival are at risk.In the plains of Africa，migratory animals like gazelles are traveling long distances for food，just to avoid falling prey (牺牲品) to humans who hunt them.In an unusual step，experts from 120 countries have agreed to protect 31 migratory mammals，fish and birds.The United Nation's 11th annual Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals(CMS)was held in Quito，Ecuador.For the first time，900 experts attended the conference，and the enthusiastic support shows the world is united in conservation (保护) efforts.What does getting on a protected list mean？Countries that have signed the agreement will be required to pass laws locally and work with other countries that fall within the animal's migratory path.Only one animal did not make the list.The African lion was rejected (拒绝) for lack of information of the countries where it lives.语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。

As I reflect on this significant event, a smile spreads across my face. As I think of Shanda, I feel loved and grateful.It was my twelfth year of dancing, I thought it would end up like any other year: stuck in emptiness, forgotten and without the belief of any teacher or friend that I really had the potential to achieve greatness.However, I met Shanda, a young, talented choreographer (编舞者). She influenced me to work to the best of my ability, pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up, encouraged me and showed me the real importance of dancing. Throughout our hard work, not only did my ability to dance grow, but my friendship with Shanda grew as well.With the end of the year came our show time. As I walked to a backstage filled with other dancers, I hoped for a good performance that would prove my improvement.I waited anxiously for my turn.

But, with the determination to succeed and eagerness to live up to Shanda, expectations for me, I began to dance. All my troubles and nerves went away as I danced my whole heart out.As I walked up to the judge to receive my first place shining gold trophy (奖杯), I realized that dance is not about becoming the best. It was about loving dance for dance itself, a getaway from all my problems in the world. Shanda showed me that you could let everything go and just dance what you feel at that moment.

Now, the team added a new feature to the database that predicts where species currently unknown to scientists may be hiding.In 2018, ecologist Mario Moura of the Federal University of Paraiba in Brazil teamed up with Yale ecologist Walter Jetz, who took the lead in the initial creation of the Map of Life. The pair set out to identify where 85 percent of Earth's undiscovered species may be. For two years, the team collected information about 32，000 vertebrate (脊椎动物)species. Data on population size, geographical range, historical discovery dates and other biological characteristics were used to create a computer model that estimated where undescribed species might exist today.The model found tropical environments in countries including Brazil, Indonesia, Madagascar, and Colombia house the most undiscovered species. Smaller animals have limited ranges that may be inaccessible, making their detection more difficult. In contrast, larger animals that occupy greater geographic ranges are more likely to be discovered, the researchers explain.“It is striking to see the importance of tropical forests as the birthplace of discoveries, stressing the urgent need to protect tropical forests and address the need of controlling deforestation rate if we want a chance to truly discover our biodiversity，” said Moura.The map comes at a crucial time when Earth is facing a biodiversity crisis. It was reported that there was a 68 percent decrease in vertebrate species populations between 1970 and 2006 and a 94 percent decline in animal populations in the America's tropical subregions. “At the current pace of global environmental change, there is no doubt that many species will go extinct before we have ever learned about their existence and had the chance to consider their fate，” Jetz said.5．What can be learned about the Map of Life?A．It only tracks biodiversity distributions.B．It was initially created by Mario Moura.C．It predicts where undiscovered species exist．D．It managed to locate 85% of the undiscovered species.6．Which factor makes animals easier to discover?A．location. B．species.C．size. D．population.7．What does the underlined word “address” mean in Paragraph 4?A．Tackle. B．Ignore.C．Maintain. D．Postpone.8．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A．Tropical animal populations have slightly declined.B．The Map of life is significant to protecting biodiversity.C．Tropical forests are the birthplace of many extinct species.D．Many species will undoubtedly go extinct even if discovered.CThis is the digital age, and the advice to managers is clear. If you don't know what ChatGPT is or dislike the idea of working with a robot, enjoy your retirement. So, as for the present you should get for your manager this festive season, a good choice may be anything made of paper. Undoubtedly, it can serve as a useful reminder of where the digital world's limitations lie. Several recent studies highlighted the enduring value of this ancient technology in several different aspects.A study by Vicky Morwitz of Columbia Business School, Yanliu Huang of Drexel University and Zhen Yang of California State University, Fullerton, finds that paper calendars produce different behaviours from digital calendars. Users of old­fashioned calendars made more detailed project plans than those looking at an App, and they were more likely to stick to those plans. Simple dimensions seem to count. The ability to see lots of days at once on a paper calendar matters.Here is another study from Maferima Touré­Tillery of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and Lili Wang of Zhejiang University. In one part of their study, the researchers asked strangers to take a survey. Half the respondents were given a pen and paper to fill out a form; the other half were handed an iPad. When asked for their email address to receive information, those who used paper were much likelier to decide on a positive answer. The researchers believe that people make better decisions on paper because it feels more consequential than a digital screen. Paper­and­pen respondents were more likely than iPad users to think their choices indicated their characters better.Researchers had other findings. They found shoppers were willing to pay more for reading materials in printed form than those they could only download online. Even the sight of someone handling something can help online sales. Similarly, people browsing(浏览) in a virtual­reality(虚拟现实) shop was more willing to buy a T­shirt if they saw their own virtual hand touch it.9．How does the author lead in the topic?A．By telling a story.B．By giving examples.C．By raising questions.D．By describing a situation.10．Why can paper calendars make users stick to plans better?A．They are a better reminder.B．They can show more detailed plans.C.They provide chances for people to practice writing.D．They provide a better view of many days' plans at a time.11．Which of the following did paper influence based on Paragraph 3?A．Decision. B．Sympathy.C．Efficiency. D．Responsibility.12．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Paper posters will greatly promote sales online.B．E­magazines are thought less valuable than paper ones.C．Seeing others buy will increase one's purchasing desire.D．People prefer items made of paper instead of other materials.[答题区]阅读理解题型分类练(四)A【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。

The United States Department of Agriculture reports that it expects potato use to decrease during the next fourteen years.Growers say one main reason is that more people are worrying about getting too fat. Several popular weight-reducing plans restrict carbohydrates. Potatoes are high in carbohydrates. American potato farmers also face competition from foreign growers. To deal with these problems, anon-profit organization is working to get farmers to limit potato production. The United Potato Growers of America was formed more than a year ago. Its members plant most of Ameri ca’s potatoes.Over the years, many American potato growers have done their best to grow large crops. Because the more potatoes they produced, the more they had to sell. But too many potatoes for sale mean too little profit. So now the potato growers organization wants to reduce the amount of potatoes reaching the market. The goal is to keep demand strong and continuous. Members promise to plant fewer potatoes. They also promise they will not send potatoes to market when the supply becomes too large.The idea began about two years ago when potato growers from the state of Idaho formed a group called the United Potato Growers of Idaho. The group expanded its membership to become a national organization. Idaho potato grower Albert Wada is board chairman of theUnited Potato Growers of America. Mr. Wada recently compared potato prices before and after formation of the organization. Between September, 2004 and June, 2005, overproduction of potatoes brought prices down. But in the same period a year later, growers received an average price increase of four dollars for every 45 kilograms of potatoes.But not all potato farmers want to join the organization and restrict the amout of potatoes they can grow. And planting time next spring will bring a test. The organization will learn if members really will limit the amount of potatoes they plant.1. Why are Americans eating fewer potatoes than before?A. Because they have more food to choose from.B. Because the potatoes aren’t as good as before.C. Because they are worried about their weight.D. Because the price of potatoes has increased a lot.2. The United Potato Growers of America ______.A. helps farmers sell their potatoes to foreign countriesB. calls on farmers to grow fewer potatoesC. advises farmers to grow high-quality potatoesD. provides farmers with new technology for growing potatoes3. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A change in Americans’ eating habitsB. The difference between American and foreign potatoesC. Farmers organize to control potato supplyD.

The moment I entered in the park, a variety of beautiful flowers and green trees come into sight. Attracted by the beauty, I couldn’t stop taking photo. As I wandered along the path, enjoy the beautiful view, I noticed something unpleasantly. Two schoolgirls jumped the fence to pick flowers. Obviously they didn’t realize that their behavior had done great damage on the beauty of the park. Without hesitation, I went up and stopped them politely. Quite embarrassing, the two girls came out immediately. Then we took pictures outside the fence.

WEEK 4 学校教育（2）一、阅读理解（共13小题；共26分）ATeachers are urged to use YouTube to inspire bored students, said Sanjay Sarma, director of digital learning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US.Teachers should abandon hour-long lessons in favor of ten minute videos to stop their students' minds wandering, said Sanjay Sarma, a leading education expert. Traditional teaching methods which rely on pupils paying attention for an hour are outdated, according to Sanjay Sarma. He said schools and universities needed to adapt to the Internet age by breaking teaching down into bite-sized video lessons."The way we teach today is based on lectures, which is still a factory-style system," he told the Times Educational Supplement (TES), "But cognitive(认知的) science and cognitive psychology tell us that students learn in a way that, frankly, isn't compatible with lectures."In order to capture their attention, students needed to be given knowledge "when they need it" rather than during long lectures, Professor Sarma said.He added, "The human mind wanders and what we do is make the student feel unhappy about it. In fact, you're better off doing 10-minute lectures and then asking the students questions about what they just learned, because that transfers what they learn from our short-term memory to our long-term memory."Earlier this year it is reported that Ark Schools, one of England's biggest academy chains, was planning on setting up a school in which learning through online videos is blended with traditional teaching. Pupils will do a significant amount of learning on computers at the Ark Pioneer Academy, which is due to open in London in September 2017.Simon Mason, headteacher of Honywood School in Essex, which has supplied all pupils with iPads, told the TES: "Pupils use these computers in their lessons, and the academic results have turned out to be satisfactory. In my experience, young people are able to concentrate for far longer than 10 minutes if they are involved in learning something where they are able to make authentic(真实的) choices."1. According to Sanjay Sarma, YouTube can get students .A. interested in their lessonsB. lost in their thoughtC. addicted to the InternetD. devoted to his team2. Sanjay Sarma indicates that hour-long lessons tend to make students .A. quickly-mindedB. absent-mindedC. strong-mindedD. open-minded3. The underlined word "bite-sized" means .A. dullB. funnyC. frankD. brief4. Honywood School in Essex has supplied all pupils with .A. textbooksB. computersC. lecturesD. camerasBOver the years, some teachers and editors have said they do not trust the information on the website Wikipedia. They say some of the people who provide the pieces for the website may not be qualified to write them. But recently, an American medical school has provided an unusual course meant to aid doctors and other Wikipedia users.Students at the medical school of the University of California, San Francisco are taking a class that teaches them how to write and edit for the WikiProject Medicine part of Wikipedia. Dr. Amin Azzam leads the course.Dr. Azzam asks his students to read Wikipedia, identify missing information and update pieces on the site. He says the students need to do this from their own medical knowledge and from dependable medical sources.Fourth-year medical student Raquel Kronen signed up to take the course. She has medical knowledge. Still, her writing needs improvement. Ms. Kronen says you need both skills to be a Wikipedia editor. "You have to be able to know your information, express your information in a way that's appropriate for the general public, and then really, just, write in a clear fashion."Students first attend some intensive classes. A guide explains how to present material on Wikipedia. The guide demands that the writing should be understandable to people who read at the sixth-grade level.WikiProject Medicine has 32,000 health-related pages ranked in order by importance and quality. Dr. Azzam's students must improve one of the pages. Students have updated articles on two liver diseases, diabetes, white blood cells and race and health. One of the highest-ranked pages tells about Ebola. That page has been viewed many millions of times. James Heilman reduced his hours as a Canadian emergency room doctor to spend more time on the Ebola page. Ten or twelve others work with him. Dr. Heilman is one of few editors whose name is known. Identities of Wikipedia's volunteer editors generally are not given.Student Raquel Kronen said she chose an article on post-partum depression because she had a friend with the disorder. She is trying to decide what is useful to put in her chosen article. She said she keeps asking herself what her friend would want to know.5. According to some teachers and editors, the information on the website Wikipedia is .A. unreliableB. unimportantC. fashionableD. accurate6. We can learn that .A. Ms. Kronen has a good command of writing skillsB. Ms. Kronen has a good command of reading skillsC. Ms. Kronen's writing skill is not good enoughD. Ms. Kronen's medical knowledge is not enough7. Wikipedia is intended for .A. professionalsB. medical studentsC. doctorsD. general readers8. According to the guide, the writing should be .A. interesting to readB. easy to understandC. simple to handleD. lively to present9. We can infer that Dr. Heilman .A. leads the writing courseB. is an expert on EbolaC. updated the page for moneyD. is not well-known nowCSocial media has become a part of all our lives. It is the communication tool that children have been brought up with, but it is still illegal for a Canadian child under the age of 13 to have a social media page.This is a shame when you consider the teaming opportunities that social media offers. At our school, Vernon Christian Elementary School in Vernon, B.C., I can see how it provides children with the chance to learn how to communicate appropriately and effectively. If they want their friends to follow them or re-tweet(转发) their messages, they must learn to write them creatively in an interesting and amusing style, attach relevant pictures, and ask questions to invite a response. Students will learn a lot from the process.Social media can also help students to sharpen up their writing skills. My students usually use the blog feature to keep a diary about something that interests them, and suddenly they appear to love writing.So is the social media age restriction necessary? Not really. A survey has found that 59 percent of children have already used a social network by the time they are 10, and 43 percent have messaged people they didn't know by the age of 12.Of course, primary schools should be aware of dangers of social media. Measures should be taken to protect students from the dangers. In our school, we have a social media platform with a teacher's dashboard(信息窗) where all activities can be monitored. On one occasion, a boy wrote hurtful comments about a girl in a post message. After a discussion with him about why it is wrong to send hurtful emails, he was embarrassed and said sorry to the victim.Over the past 28 years teaching in British Columbia, I have focused on computing. I am therefore very aware of the negative effects of social media on primary school students. However, social media offers a learning and communicating opportunities to elementary students. More importantly, we can not ignore the fact that elementary children are using social media. I strongly believe that exposing students to the social media will equip them to be wiser grown-ups in the future.10. In which country is a child below 13 not allowed to have a social media page by law?A. Britain.B. Canada.C. The USA.D. France.11. The underlined phrase "sharpen up" can be replaced by .A. preventB. keepC. improveD. use12. How does the writer support his/her argument in the fourth paragraph?A. By examples.B. By proverbs.C. By comparisons.D. By statistics.13. The writer believes that exposing students to the social media is .A. harmfulB. beneficialC. unnecessaryD. wrong二、完形填空（共20小题；共30分）It's a delicate time—if not every parent's worst nightmare—when a child enters adolescence.Not only are their bodies 14 physically, but hormones(荷尔蒙) are spreading violently and bad moods are in full swing.

It is reported that students from low-income families are 2.4 times more likely to drop out than middle-income kids. Household income is the not the only disadvantage many dropouts have, though. 35. Some behaviors that are often characteristic in dropouts include being retained(留级) from advancing a grade level with peers, relocating during the high school years and being bullied by peers at the school.The US Census Bureau estimates that dropouts bring in just $20,241 annually, which is over $36,000 less than a person holding a bachelor's degree. 36. And the unemployment rate for dropouts is generally 4 percentage points higher than the national average. In the end, the lifetime earnings of high school dropouts are $260,000 less than peers who earn a diploma.37. It hurts the whole society. It's estimated that half of all Americans on public assistance are dropouts. A study has found that high school dropouts cost taxpayers $292,000 over the course of their lives. It's not just about the money though. 38. This truly impacts every member of the community. As a society, we are not just paying into public assistance programs for dropouts, but we are paying to protect ourselves against them.If we invested that money, or even half of it, into efforts to enhance the learning experience and programs to prevent dropping out, it would benefit the individual and the society as a whole.A. There are many reasons for students dropping out.B. Dropping out of high school hurts more than the individual.C. Students with physical disabilities drop out at a rate of 36 percent.D. The poverty rate for dropouts is over twice as high as college graduates.E. One factor when it comes to the dropout rate is the economic background.F. The federal government must take necessary measures to prevent dropping out.G. It is reported that over 80 percent of the people who are in prison are high school dropouts.答案一、阅读理解1. A2. B3. D4. B5.

位敦市安定阳光实验学校高三英语下学期第4周周练试题考试日期：2月28日一．阅读理解CIn a mountainous area of Brazil, there is a kind of beautiful butterfly which can kill men. If people meet them, they will come down in great quantities to bite and kill, sucking blood and flesh through the wounds they cause.In June, 1966, a boy named Marl Andre who went into the mountains in search of butterfly specimens (标本) was killed by these butterflies.A country boy saw him as he was just about to raise his net to catch a butterfly. Suddenly thousands of butterflies came down upon him, covering him all over. The boy struggled and cried as he tried to free himself from their attack. Finally he fell senseless to the ground. Police examined his body and proved that he had died of bites by butterflies.In New Guinea, there is a kind of needlefish which also kills men. Needlefish likes light. At night, it will swim near the lights of fishing boats, then suddenly shoot out of water like an arrow to its target, and force its 3-inch sharp mouth into a human body. Often people are thrust in the eye, or through the chest or stomach, resulting in death. Sometimes it will even attack the people in a fishing boat in broad daylight. About 10 persons in the world are killed by sharks every year, yet more than 20 are killed by needlefish every month.28. From the passage, we know that ______.A. butterflies are living in the mountainsB. all butterflies like sucking blood and eating fishC. the more beautiful a butterfly is, the more dangerous it is to menD. the butterflies in a certain part of Brazil can kill men29. Mari Andre was killed when he ______.A. went to BrazilB. entered the mountainsC. tried to catch a butterflyD. raised a net30. Needlefish comes out ______.A. sometimes at nightB. usually in the daytimeC. only when boats appearD. both at night and in the daytime31. The best title for the passage is ______.A. Brazil Home of Dangerous ButterfliesB. New Guinea—No Fit to Live inC. Killer Butterflies and NeedlefishD. Deaths Caused by Butterflies and NeedlefishDThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have an equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, while the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons and events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. They enjoy all cheerful things. Those who are unhappy think and speak only of unpleasant things. Through their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind is founded in nature, such unhappy people should be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it can be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects.Although this attitude is mainly an act of the imagination, it has serious results since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. If such people aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone speak a word in favor of their hopes. If they are criticized, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join in criticizing their wrong doings. So they should change this bad habit and stop worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, they will have a disagreeable time, especially when someonebecomes mixed up in their quarrels.32. People who are unhappy ________．A．always consider things differently from othersB．usually are affected by the results of certain thingsC．usually misunderstand what others think or sayD．always discover the unpleasant side of certain things33. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” probably means“________”.A. have a good attitude towards social lifeB. make others unhappyC. tend to scold others openlyD. enjoy thepleasure of life34. We can conclude from the passage that ________.A．we should pity all unhappy people B．unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC．people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessD．unhappy people can not understand happy people 35. If such unhappy people insist on keeping the habit, the authorsuggests that people should_____A. not have any communication with themB. show no respect for themC. persuade them to recognize the bad effects of their habitsD. quarrel with them until they realize their mistakes 二．七选五Are you truly happy? Do you ever know what it means to be happy and what it takes to achieve happiness?____36__The following are a few tips that I follow to create happiness in my life. 1.Make a plan for attaining goals that you believe will make you happy. Your moods will very likelyincrease if you are going after something you value.2.Surround yourself with happy people.
