最新高考英语阅读理解精英练习题（11）及答案阅读理解EWhat is the color of the universe? Astronomers had not answered this question until two months ago. That is when two American astronomers reported on their study of all the light in the universe. They said that the universe would appear to the human eyes to be a light greenish color.Karl Glazebrook and Ivan Baldry of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, reported their finding in January. They presented the research at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society. They said that finding the color of the universe was not part of their more serious scientific research. They did it for fun.However, earlier this month, the scientists admitted making a mistake. They said their finding was much more colorful than it should have been. They now say the light from our universe is closer to white. It is more like a milky or creamy white color.Their study attempted to show what people might see if they could observe the universe from far away. The scientists found the average color by combining light from about two-hundred-thousand star systems. Their information came from an observatory in New South Wales, Australia.The scientists gave a number value to the colors of the different star systems. Then they added the numbers together and found the average measurement. The scientists used this average to identify the color of the universe. They said it was a very pretty light green. Many newspapers and television stations reported their finding.Other scientists and color engineers attempted to reproduce the result. Mark Fairchild of the Rochester Institute discovered a mistake in the computer software program used by the Johns Hopkins scientists.When the mistake was corrected, the results changed. The new color of the universe is much less colorful. It is very close to white.17.The color of the universe is _______.A．close to white B．black C．blue D．light greenish18.The two scientists found the color of the universe by _______.A．combining light from about 200,000 star systemsB．observing at an observatory in IndiaC．making long-term scientific researchD．using computer software programs19.Who found the true color of the universe?A．Karl Glazebrook.

When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn’t cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (时装)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur-unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. “The ecosystem down there can’t handle this non-native species(物种).It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us.” says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades，but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s，the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it’s not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton’s job these days is trying to promote fur.Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Model Paige Morgan says，”To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-1 think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She trying to come up with a lable to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.28．What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?A．To promote guilt-free fur.B．To expand the fashion market.C．To introduce a new brand.D．To celebrate a winter holiday.29．Why are scientists concerned about nutria?A．Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.B．Nutria are an endangered species.C．Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.D．Nutria are illegally hunted.30．What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A．Boomed.B．Became mature.C．Remained stable.D．Crashed.31．What can we infer abouf wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?A．It’s formal.B．It’s risky.C．It’s harmful.D．It’s traditional.【答案】28．A29．A30．D31．B【解析】本文是说明文。

高中英语真题:2016高考英语阅读理解暑假精炼（11）阅读理解-------CIf you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. T his is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise—and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the proc ess of ageing could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he se t about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of diffe rent ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain preci se measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect (智能) and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating an d breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.)Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed I some subjects in their thirties, but it was still n ot evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple re medy to the contraction normally associated with age—using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brai n begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Th ose least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by u niversity professors and doctors. White collar workers doing r outine work in government offices are, however, as likely to h ave shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.M atsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to s upply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says, “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely onpocket calculators.”36. The team of doctors wanted to find out ________.A. why certain people age sooner than othersB. how to mak e people live longerC. the size of certain people’s brainsD. which people ar e most intelligent【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。

He had chosen to st udy his major because he could get a good job with it.He won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1954 for his research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application to the explanation of the structure of complex substances. His inter est in the“behavior”of molecules(分子)led him from physical chemistry to biological chemistry, es pecially of the human body.

落堕市安心阳光实验学校2014高考英语阅读理解巩固练习（11）及答案阅读理解There’s a time to get angry, and it’s best for your child if you do. Let’s say your child hits a playmate with a toy hard enough to make the other child cry. How can you teach your child to feel sorry so he or she won’t do it again? Researchers say the best way for parents to react（反应）is to show their anger and to let the child know exactly why they are mad.Many parents believe that it is best to control their feelings and to wait until they’re calm before scolding their children. But the mother or father who explains reasonably to a child , “Peter was crying because you hit him,” is not likely to attract much attention. Young children need to be scolded immediately, and strongly, before they’ll take criticism （批评）to heart.When your young child does something wrong, scold him or her seriously at once. At the same time be sure to tell the child clearly what he or she has done wrong. An angry reaction without an immediate explanation does little good. Forbidding a child to play outside or not allowing him to watch TV as a punishment works well-but only when taken together with an explanation. Make sure your child understands that although his or her wrongdoing has made you angry, you still love him or her. Use simple, direct words such as, “You hurt peter. How would you feel if he hit you? You must never, never hurt people.”If your voice expresses strong feeling clearly, your message will carry enough weight. 9．According to researchers, how should parents react when their child did something wrong?A．Ask the child not to do it again any time.B．Show the child how angry they are and tell him why.C．Teach the child why and how to say sorry to others.D．Let the child know you still love hime or her.10．What do many parents think they should do with the wrongdoer?A．Calm themselves down before scolding him.B．Hide their feelings when talking to him.C．Explain immediately why he was wrong.D．Speak strongly and angrily to him.11．What could be the best title for the text?A．Different Ways to Deal with Children’s WrongdoingsB．Differences among Parents in Dealing with ChildrenC．Best Ways to Stop Children’s WrongdoingsD．Research on Preventing Children from Hurting Others9—11、B A CC7[2013·新课标全国卷Ⅱ] CGiven that many people's moods (情绪)are regulated by thechemical action of chocolate, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine. Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100 varieties of chocolates.Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents' corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.If the CRF seems to be a smart idea, that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony. That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored(味道)chocolates.The CRF's produce is “green”， made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the Alcohol Series being the most popular. The Exotic Series—with Sichuan pepper, red bean (豆), cheese and other flavors—also does well and is fun to taste. And for chocolate_snobs，who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others, the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo, Cuba, Venezuela, and Ghana, among others.44. What is good about chocolate?A. It serves as a suitable gift.B. It works as an effective medicine.C. It helps improve the state of mind.D. It strengthens business relations.45．Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF?A. He knows the importance of research.B. He learns from shops of similar types.C. He has the support of many big names.D. He has a lot of marketing experience.46．Which line of the CRF produce sells best?A. The Connoisseur Series.B. The Exotic Series.C. The Alcohol Series.D. The Sichuan Series.47．The wo rds “chocolate snobs” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people who ________．A. are particular about chocolateB. know little about cocoa beansC. look down upon othersD. like to try new flavors【要点综述】本文是一篇说明文。

阅读理解As a professor at a large American university，I often hear a phrase from students：“I’m only a 1050.” The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)，which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice，or even have a chance to get a higher education at all.The SAT score，whether it is 800,1100 or 1550，has become the focus at this time of their life.It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores，then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number.Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over.The low test score，they think，will make it impossible for them to get into a good college.And without a degree from a_prestigious_university，they fear that many of life’s doors will remain forever closed.According to a study done in the 1990s，the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student’s future performance in most cases.Interestingly，it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators—like a student’s high school grades.Even if standardized tests like the SAT could show a student’s academic proficiency(学业水平)，they will never be able to test things like confidence，efforts and will power，and are unable to give us the full picture of a student’s potentialities(潜力).This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process.The SAT is an excellent test in many ways，and the score is still a useful means of testing students.However，it should be only one of many methods used.1.The purpose of the SAT is to test students’________.A.strong willB.academic abilityC.full potentialitiesD.confidence in school work2.Students’ self­respect is influenced by their________.A.scores in the SATB.achievements in mathematicsC.job opportunitiesD.money spent on education3.The underlined phrase “a prestigious university” probably means “________”.A.a famous universityB.a technical universityC.a traditional universityD.an expensive university4.This passage is mainly about________.A.how to prepare for the SATB.stress caused by the SA TC.American higher educationD.the SAT and its effects【阅读心得】1.However，many of the young readers are getting interested in such poisonous reading，which costs them what they should pay for their breakfast and brings them nightmares and immoral ideas in return.(完形填空其次段倒数其次句) 然而，很多年轻的读者对这些有害刊物格外感爱好，而这些刊物花掉了他们本该去买早饭的钱，反而给他们带来了噩梦和邪恶的想法。
