Sitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands. Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldn't forget that Charles Darwin (1809-1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired (启发) his famous work, On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin's footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands. The islands are certainly a paradise (天堂) for wildlife, as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be. The most well-known animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise(巨型海龟), which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Sanra Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago(群岛). Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself. Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures: diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air. Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.( ) 1. What do we know about Darwin's visit to the islands?A. He studied different creatures on the islandsB. He completed his famous book on the islandsC. He was touched by the geography of the islandsD. He was attracted by well-known animals of the islands( ) 2. Which of the following plays a role in making the islands "a paradise forwildlife"?A. Animals on the islands feed on grass.B. Local government forbids killing wildlife.C. People cannot visit the islands as they wish.D. Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals.( ) 3. Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of_________.A. The beautiful sea viewsB. Darwin's inspiring tripC. a closer view of animalsD. various daring activities( ) 4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. A Unique Attraction for Wildlife LoversB. Calapagos as a Paradise for AdventuresC. Charles Darwin as a Symbol of GalapagosD. A Successful Example of Wildlife Protection【语篇解读语篇解读】本文介绍了一个冒险家的乐园 Galapagos Islands,达尔文曾在这儿受到启发写语篇解读出了《物种起源》一书,同时,由于这儿保护得很好,直到现在依然是旅游的好去处.1. 答案 A 【解析】细节理解题.由文中的 He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals.可知达尔文在这儿观察了各种各样的动物.2. 答案 C 【解析】细节理解题.根据文中...strict control over activities and timing...可知,当地对游客的活动和参观时间都是有严格限制的,所以答案选 C 项.3. 答案 C 【解析】细节理解题.根据 your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered asa chain of incomparable pictures: diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.可知,在 Galapagos 岛上能与动物亲密接触.4. 答案 A 【解析】主旨大意题.这篇文章主要是向我们推荐 Galapagos Islands,因此题目要具有醒目的特点,方能达到吸引读者眼球的目的,故题目以 A 为佳.2016高考英语阅读理解——教育类My students often tell me they don’t have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork. My reply is often brief –You have as much time as the president. I usually carry on a bit about there being 24 hours per day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.Once in graduate school, I tried to justify myself to one of my professors by saying that I was working. His answer to me was, “That’s irrelevant. What’s important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to reflect on the “hard worker” dodge(伎俩), and I have come to some conclusions –all relevant to the issue of how much time we have.If you look at the matter analytically, you can identify two parts of the problem. There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the issue of “work” during that t ime, which can vary in intensity. But, as my professor suggested, it’s not diligence but the quality of the product that is important.That led me to a new idea, the quality of work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wal l in someone’s office –Don’t work harder but work smarter! There’s a lot of sense in that idea.If you can’t get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of work. That means thinking of ways of getting more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “learning habits”.Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off across the board in all your studies.【小题1】From the passage, we know that the author is _____.A．a poet B．an educatorC．an editor D．a director【小题2】We can infer from the first two paragraph that we students _____. A．have enough time B．can meet the presidentC．get something done well D．should accept the explanation【小题3】The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means _____.A．That is impossible B．That is not importantC．That is unbearable D．That is not acceptable【小题4】The main purpose of writing the passage is to give _____. A．information B．encouragementC．criticism D．advice2016高考英语阅读理解——教育类It’s so difficult to follow the ups and downs of a 2-year-old. One moment he’s beaming and friendly; the next he’s sullen（愠怒的）and weepy, often for no apparent reason. These mood swings, however, are just part of growing up. They are signs of the emotional changes taking place as your child struggles to take control of actions, impulses, feelings and his body.At this age, your child wants to explore the world and seek adventure. As a result, he’ll spend most of his time testing limits, his own, yours and his environments. Unfortunately, he still lacks many of the skills required for the safe accomplishment of everything he needs to do, and he often will need you to protect him.When he oversteps a limit and is pulled back, he often reacts with anger and frustration, possibly with a temper tantrum (发脾气). He may even strike back by hitting, biting and kicking. At this age, he doesn’t have much control over hisemotional impulse (冲动). So his anger and frustration tend to erupt suddenly in the form of crying, hitting or screaming. It’s his only way of dealing with the difficult realities of life. He may even act out in ways that unintentionally harm himself or others. It’s a ll part of being 2.It’s not uncommon for toddlers to be angels when you’re not around, because they don’t trust people enough to test their limits. But with you, your toddler will be willing to try things that may be dangerous or difficult, because he knows you’ll rescue him if he gets into trouble.Whatever protest pattern he has developed around the end of his first year will probably persist for some time. For instance, when you’re about to leave him with a sitter, he may become angry and throw a tantrum in anticipation (预想) of the separation. Or he may cry and cling to you. Or he could simply become subdued and silent. Whatever his behavior, try not to overreact by scolding or punishing him. The best tactic(策略) is to reassure him before you leave that you will be back and, when you return, to praise him for being so patient while you are gone. Take comfort in the fact that separations should be much easier by the time he’s 3 years old.【小题1】The “ups and downs” (Para. 1) of a 2-year-old refers to ________. A．his falling down and standing upB．his successes and failures in doing thingsC．his good and bad traitsD．his mood swings【小题2】A 2-year-old still lacks all of the following EXCEPT _____________. A．signs that express his emotional changesB．skills necessary for accomplishing certain thingsC．control over his emotional impulsesD．good methods of dealing with the difficult realities of life【小题3】Which of the following is true?A．A 2-year-old doesn’t know how to express his anger and frustration.B．A 2-year-old often intentionally harms himself or others.C．A 2-year-old depends on his parents to do everything new and challenging.D．A 2-year-old trusts his parents more than other people【小题4】When a mother is about to separate with her baby, she’d b etter __________. A．leave without the baby’s knowledgeB．make the baby subdued and silentC．comfort the baby that she’ll be back soonD．ignore the baby’s reactions阅读理解(每题2分，满分8分)选材相似度：★★★★设题相似度：★★★难度系数：★★★★Katharine Mehta's mother likes to joke that the first sentence her daughter said was “I love dogs.” It's not the fact，but it's certainly true in spirit. “When I was young，my grandmother told me about how she sometimes found stray dogs and cats，and kept them on her farm as pets，” says Katharine.“That made me wonder what would happen when animals didn't have a home.I felt horrible thinking that they might be hungry or could get hit by a car.”But what could a little girl do? The answer came during a trip to a park in her New York City neighborhood two years ago，where she met volunteers from Mighty Mutts，a local no­kill animal rescue organization.“I thought maybe I could earn some money and give it to them，” sh e says.Since Katharine had plenty of practice taking care of her own dog，she decided to start a summer dog­walking service. She chose two friends and，with their parents' permission，the group put up homemade posters with their phone numbers and a bargain price—50 cents an hour.Before long they had 15 dogs in their care.“We walked two or three at a time with one mother helping out，” she says.“By the end of thatsummer，we'd collected $45.” That fall Katharine and her mother，Loma，came up with another mini enterprise to raise money for Mighty Mutts—selling fresh­baked shortbread to their neighbors.The 11­year­o ld，who starts sixth grade this fall，has become a nonstop campaigner.Her mother says，“When she sees somebody with a dog，she starts a conversation and tells them to donate to Mighty Mutts.”Katharine's p assion comes from the heart.“It makes me cry to think that strays might be_put_to_sleep when there's a group that can find new homes for them，” Katharine says.“But it makes me smile to know I can help.”Notes：①stray adj.流浪的②shortbread n．黄油甜酥饼【语篇解读】本文主要讲了11岁女孩Katharine是如何关爱和帮助流浪狗等小动物的。

(2015年山西太原五中月考)Deborah Cohen is a senior natural scientist at the Rand Corp and the author of the book A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind the Obesity Epidemic and How We Can End It. According to the book, there are lots of misunderstandings of obesity.1.If you're obese, blame your genes.Obesity rates have increased. Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubled—too quickly for genetic factors to be responsible. At restaurants, a dollar puts more calories on our plates than ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calorie than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.2.If you're obese, you lack self-control.Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor dietary choices. Our world has become so rich in temptation that we can be led to consume too much in ways we can't understand. Even the most vigilant(警觉的) people may not be up to the task of controlling themselves.ck of access to fresh fruits and vegetables is responsible for obesity. Although the US Department of Agriculture estimates that fewer than 5 percent of Americans live in the “ food deserts”, about 65 percent of the nation's population is overweight or obese. For most of us, obesity is not related to access to more fresh fruits and vegetables, but to the choices we make in supermarkets.4.The problem is not that we eat too much, but that we don't exercise. Michelle Obama's “Let's Move” campaign is based on the idea that if kids exercise more, childhood obesity rates will decrease. But there was no significant decrease in physical activity levels as obesity rates climbed in the 1980s and 1990s. In fact, although a drop in work-related physical activity may account for up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased. The problem is that we eat too much.1.The author mentioned Deborah Cohen's book in Paragraph 1 to .A.Introduce the topicB.Draw readers' attentionC.Introduce the author of the bookD.Advertise the book2.What is the relationship between obesity and the place where you eat?A.The less you eat out, the higher rates of obesity you haveB.The less you eat at home, the lower rates of obesity you have.C.The more you eat out, the higher rates of obesity you have.D.The more you eat at home, the higher rates of obesity you have.3.What's the best title of this passage?A.Four misunderstandings of obesityB.Four rules to help you avoid obesityC.Obesity leads to a big fat crisiscking self-control leads to obesity语篇解读本文通过一本书告诉我们关于肥胖的四个误区。

CIn 2013 alone at least 20,000 African elephants were killed for their teeth. In South Africa over the last two years more than 2,200 rhinos were killed for their horns. These numbers are alarming, because current rates of illegal hunting are faster than birth rates,which could lead to extinction for these ecologically important creatures in their environment. Indeed, some elephant and rhino populations are on track to be locally extinct within the next decade.If you are reading this, you may already be aware of these facts. But you might not know that wildlife trafficking(走私) not only threatens the existence of elephants and rhinos but is also leading to extinction of other species, such as tigers, tortoises, sea turtles — and the world’s most trafficked mammal(哺乳动物)— pangolins.Pangolins are the only mammals that are entirely covered in tough scales(鳞), which makes them look very strong. But actually they are endangered mammals. There are eight different species of pangolins, four in Asia and four in Africa, and all are threatened with extinction. Although pangolins are protected throughout most of the countries where they live, high demand in East Asia, where the delicious pangolin meat is considered a delicacy and where their scales are used in traditional medicines, is driving an illegal trade in both live animals and pangolin parts. The number of pangolin trafficking is shocking. Experts believe that over the last 10 years more than 1 million pangolins were taken from the wild. It is estimated that between 40,000 and 81,250 pangolins were killed for the illegal trade in 2013 alone.In February, the United States released a plan to deal with wildlife trafficking, which lays out the steps we will take to fight the illegal trade in wildlife, including pangolins. We are strengthening the carrying out of the plan; building international cooperation and contribution to protect wildlife; raising awareness to drive down the demand that is fuelling the illegal trade.Get involved and remember World Wildlife Day (March 3) by spreading the plan. Use social media and tell everyone that now is the time to get4. What is the author’s intention of writing the passage? A. To inform us something about World Wildlife Day.B. To raise awareness of protecting endangered wildlife.C. To explain why pangolins are illegally traded in East Asia.D. To show how the United States is to fight the illegal trade in wildlife.参考答案1—4、CDCB（二）【2014模拟冲刺试题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。

Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most pe ople. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get o ut of high school.It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been t he case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual Americ an activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and re ad poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the ti me, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diver sion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyon d one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as we ll as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than ind ividual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poet ry has a place in everyday life.How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer c omfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think th at a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?There are, I believe, three culprits(肇事者)：poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least importa nt is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed u s more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentiet h century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorabl e to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonge d where other difficult-to-read things belonged.Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their stud ents to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what u sually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their hig h school students is that young people decide poems are unpl easant crossword puzzles.1. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteen th century because .A. it built a link among peopleB. it helped unite a communityC. it was a source of self-educationD. it was a source of pleasure2. The underlined word “diversion”(in Paragraph 2) most prob ably means “”.A. concentrationB. changeC. amusementsD. stories3. According to the passage, what is the main cause of the gr eat gap between readers and poetry?A. Students are becoming less interested in poetry.B. Students are poorly educated in high school.C. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.D. Poems have become difficult to understand.4. In the last paragraph, the writer questions .A. the difficulty in studying poemsB. the way poems are t aught in schoolC. students’ wrong ideas about poetryD. the techniques used in writing poems1、答案解析：答案为A。
