江苏省2011届高三英语阅读理解专练（24）AWithout the atmosphere there would be no weather , no wind , rain , snow , or clouds . Air is all around us ; we live at the bottom of a great ocean of air . It is invisible , but we can feel it when it moves . There are miles of air above us , pressing down with great weight on the earth and everything on it . Because air presses down on us from all directions at the same time , and because we are able to bear（忍受）this weight , we do not seem to feel it . But scientists have proved that air has this weight , and that anything that has weight creates （产生）a force called pressure . As changes in air pressure take place , they make air move .Air is a gas that expands （膨胀）when heated , gets lighter , and moves upward . When air is cooled , it gets heavier , sinks close to the earth’s surface , and flows like water in a great river . As warm air rises , cold air rushes in to take its place . Thus winds originate（起源）. The winds that blow high above us are caused by the warmer air running away from colder air . The wind we feel near the earth’s surface is the heavy colder air trying hard to catch the warmer air . Changes in temperature cause the air to move . And of course there are many changes , so air movements are taking place practically all the time .1．The first paragraph mainly tells us the causes of .A．why we don’t feel air B．whey atmosphere is important to usC．why there is air surrounding us D．why there is air pressure2．Air moves under such conditions that .A．there is air pressure B．the air is heavyC．air pressure doesn’t remain the same all the time D．air comes up and down 3．Which of the following pictures best tells the movements of warm air and cold air ? 4．According to the passage , in some areas if farmers who grow grapes（葡萄）light fires in the early morning , that is because the farmers want to .A．drive away warm airB．prevent cold air from coming to harm their plantsC．cause more windD．stop warm air running awayBAlzheimer’s disease is a major national health problem. Nearly 2 million Americans over the age of 65 have Alzheimer’s disease . It is a leading cause of death among the elderly . But Alzheimer’s disease is not confined（限于）to the aged . There may be a million or more people under the age of 65 suffering from the disease .At one time , people suffering from the disease were said to be “getting old”. The disease was thought to be a natural part of growing old , but it is now known that Alzheimer’s disease strikes young and old alike . It is an organic（器官的）disease that destroys brain cells .Alzheimer’s disease affects the patient’s memory , speech , and movement . In the beginning stages of the disease , the patient may seem slightly confused . He may have trouble speaking . Then the patient’s memory b egins to fail . He may forget dates , telephone numbers , names andplans .As the disease progresses , the patient may not recognize family and friends . These symptoms （症状）often cause terrible anxiety in the patient . He may feel lost and frightened . Sometimes the patient reacts with wild and bad behavior.In the last stages of the disease , the patient may not be able to take care of himself . He may have lost the ability to speak and walk .Scientists don’t know exactly what causes Alzheimer’s disease . It may be caused by a virus（病毒）. It may be caused by a poisonous substance（物质）in the environment . At present, there is no cure for the disease . But there are ways to slow its progress . Exercise and physical treatment can help the patients of this disease .5．The main idea of the passage is that Alzheimer’s disease .A．is a terrible part of the aging processB．is an organic disease that affects young and oldC．can be cured by physical treatment D．causes forgetfulness6．All of the following are symptoms o f Alzheimer’s disease EXCEPT.A．forgetfulness B．difficulty in speakingC．loss of sight D．loss of the ability to walk7．According to the passage , which of the following may be a cause of Alzheimer’s disease ?A．Poisons produced by the brain .

Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people : people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors .The warm colors are red , orange and yellow . Where there are warm colors and a lot of light , people usually want to be active . People think that red , for example , is exciting. Sociable people , those who like to be with others , like red . The cool colors are green , blue and violet . These colors , unlike warm colors are relaxing . Where there are cool colors , people are usually quiet . People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue .Red may be exciting , but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors . He suggests that a warm color , such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant . People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly . Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly .Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool . However , almost everyone agrees that red , orange , and yellow are warm and that green , blue , and violet are cool . Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days . Because in the north the sun is higher during summer , the hot summer sunlight appears yellow .13．Which of the following colors belong to cool colors ?A．Yellow, green . B．Blue , violet . C．Black , blue . D．Brown , white . 14．Which of the following statements is not true ?A．Sociable people like warm colors . B．Warm colors can make people excited .C．People who like to be with others don’t like red .D．Where there are warm colors , people want to be active .15．Which is the right color for different rooms ?A．Red or orange for offices . B．Orange for dining-rooms .C．Blue for bedrooms . D．Red for studies .16．What is the main idea of the last paragraph ?A．It shows the reason why people think some colors are warm and others are cool .B．Warm colors remind people of warm days .C．Cool colors remind people of cool days .D．People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors .EDisposing（处理）of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it . As more and more people choose to live close together in cities , the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult .During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dump site . Residents or trash haulers（垃圾拖运者）would transport household rubbish , rotted wood , and old possessions to the site . Periodically（定期的）some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried . The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by .Factories , mills , and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of . Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water . Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem .Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society . The first problem is space Dumps , which are now called landfills , are most needed in heavily populated areas . Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose . Property is either too expensive or too close to residential（住宅区的）neighborhoods . Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere ,cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent .Awareness（意识）of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers , ground water ,land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste . The amount of waste ,however , continues to grow .Recycling efforts have become commonplace , and many towns require their people to take part . Even he most efficient recycling programs ,however , can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a city’s reusable waste .17．The most suitable title for this passage would be .A．Places for Disposing Waste B．Waste Pollution DangersC．Ways of Getting Rid of Waste D．Waste Disposal Problem18．During the 18th century , people disposed their waste in many ways EXCEPT for .A．burying it B．recycling it C．burning it D．throwing it into rivers 19．What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph ?A．Farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society .B．There is cheap land to bury waste in modern society .C．It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modern society .D．Ways to deal with waste in modern society stay the same .20．The main purpose of writing this article is to .A．draw people’s attention to waste managementB．warn people of the pollution dangers we are facingC．call on people to take part in recycling programsD．tell people a better way to get rid of the waste参考答案ACBBB CCDCB CDBCB ADBDA。

The 1 has been on the belief that in regular classes these children are held back in their intellectual (智力的) growth by 2 situation that has designed for the 3 children.There can be little doubt that 4 classes can help the gifted children to graduate earlier and take their place in life sooner. However, to take these 5 out of the regular classes may create serious problems.I observed a number of 6 children who were taken out of a special class and placed in a 7 class. In the special class, they showed little ability to use their own judgment, relying 8 on their teachers‟ directions. In the regular class, having no worry about keeping up, they began to reflect 9 on many problems, some of which were not on the school program.Many are concerned that gifted children become 10 and lose interest in learning. However this 11 is more often from parents and teachers than from students, and some of these 12 simply conclude that special classes should be set up for those who are 13 . Some top students do feel bored in class, but why they 14 so goes far beyond the work they have in school. Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious.

When you are at home, you can usually create effective conditions for reading.You might want to choose a particular place 锟紺a desk or table, for example 锟紺where you always read.Make sure the place you choose is well lighted, and sit in a chair that requires you to sit straight.Reading in a chair that`s too soft and comfortable is likely you make you sleepy!Keep your active reading tools (pens, markers, notebooks or paper )and a dictionary close at hand.

At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding? To see whether babies know objects are solid. T. Bower designed amethod for projecting an optical illusion()of a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could be expected to show surprised in their faces and movements, All the 16 to 24-week-old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there. Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land? Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to re-appear. If the experiment took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The re-searcher substituted(鏇挎崲) a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week-old babies did not seem to notice the switch(鏇存崲).Thus,the16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of 鈥渟omething permanence,鈥?while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object. 1.The passage is mainly about . A.babies鈥檚ense of sight B.effects of experiments on babies C.babies鈥檜nderstanding of objects D.different tests on babies鈥檉eelings 2.In Paragraph 3, 鈥渙bject permanence鈥?means that when out of sight, and object . A.still exists B.keeps its shape C.still stays solid D.is beyond reach 3.What did Bower use in his experiments? A.A chair B.A screen C.A film D.A box 4. 39.Which of the following statements is true? A.The babies didn鈥檛have a sense of direction. B.The older babies preferred toy trains to balls. C. The younger babiesliked looking for missing objects D.The babies couldn鈥檛tell a ball from its optical illusion. B The Three Gorges (涓夊场)Dam, the largest dam in the world, is also the largest engineering project on the face of the earth. It aims to make the mother of all floods, the Changjiang River, into a tame river and it will be the largest power source for much of eastern and central China.It will create a huge, deep-water lake, and make it possible for 10,000 ton ocean going ships to sail 15,000 miles inland from the Pacific to the city of Chongqing with its 30 million people, making it the word鈥檚largest river port. Construction has already started. The dam will be a-bout 6,860 feet long and 611 feet high, at a spot called Sandouping near Yichang. After many years of investigation(璋冪爺)experts have drawn a conclusion that this grand project will do a great deal of good. The most important thing is flood control.By building a dam instead of new coal plants to meet its growing demand for electricity, China will give off much less poisonous gases into the air. However, some scientists don鈥檛agree to the project. They say that Chongqing and dozens of other cities along the river will put much waste into the reservoir(姘村簱),which can do harm to people, fish and other living things that depend on the river. Sedimentation(娌夌Н)and damage of a breach (鍐冲彛)are problems, too. The Three Gorges Dam could be considered, when it is finished in 2009,a new eighth wonder of the world as to the size alone. 5. Which is not the purpose to build such a huge dam? A.To make electricity. B.To prevent floods. C.To improve navigation(杩愯緭) D.To make it a wonder. 6. Where does the dam lie ? A.Near Chongqing. B.Near Yichang. C.In the Three Gorges D.In Wuhan. 7. It will take about to complete the dam. A.eight years B.more than ten years C.half a century D.more than twenty years. 8. Some scientists fear that .A.when the dam is built, the balance of nature may be destroyedB. sedimentation may occurC.a breach may cause millions of people to die or to be homelessD.electricity will not be as much as expected 9. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT right? A.When finished, the dam will be one of themain bases of power source of China. B.People have different ideas about the setting up of the dam C.It will take many years to build the dam because people want to see whether it will be safe and strong enough. D.Chongqing will become the largest river port in the world when the dam is finished. C Foreigners are likely to acquire(鑾峰緱)more investment opportunities in china since the central government has passed a fresh regulation to Tuesday to attract foreign capital(璧勬湰) The regulation, which will take effect on April 1, out-lines how china will expand co-owned enterprisesre-form(浼佷笟鏀归潻) According to the regulation, overseas investors are expected to become shareholders in the key state-owned enterprises. Overseas investors will even allowed to hold the controlling stake(鎺ц偂)in the large state-owned enterprises, except for those of key importance to national or economic security. 鈥淐hina鈥檚WTO membership has reduced the risks and costs for foreign investors, and more capital and advanced techniques and expert knowledge or skill are expected to flown in,鈥漚n official said. In particular, the new regulationappeals(makes an ear-nest request) for capital for agricultural technology, transportation, energy and new material industry, The service industry, including banking, will gradually become another focal point of co-operation. The country hopes foreign investors start businesses in the western regions, where they will enjoy more favourable taxation policies for the nest 10years. 10.A great deal of foreign capital has come to china because . A the foreign investors have too much money B there are too many enterprises in china C China is a large country D China鈥檚reform will bring great benefit to the foreign investors 11.If foreign investors start their business in the west-ern regions, they will .

江苏省2011届高三英语阅读理解专练（22）AThe girl looking for the job turned out to be excellent but she ended up giving her employer a headache when it also turned out that she used an unreal diploma （文凭）.In December , a Civil Administration Bureau in the city of Wuhan , Hubei Province , announced that it needed five new staff members . Some 120 people applied and took the exam . Applicants were required to show proof of a college degree at least .Mei Jing beat everyone , in the test and the interview . When a follow-up check was done , however , her education certificate was discovered to be an unreal one .This was a bit of an embarrassment for the employers . A dilemma , one might say . If she were hired because of her excellent performance , she still wouldn’t have the qualifications on paper . But , if she were dropped because she didn’t meet the education requirements , they would lose a good worker . Tough problem .While Mei’s future hangs in the balance , the public having learned of the case , got involved .Some people said the bureau should employ her , since results are the only important thing . “After all , ability is more important than a diploma,” said one office worker .Others , however , have attacked Mei’s dishonesty . They said that morality (道德) was , after all , more important than talent , especially in the case of a government position . Mei wasn’t honest , so she shouldn’t be hired . Case closed .But , Shen Ronghua , the head of the Shanghai Public Administration and Human resources Institute , tries to be a bit more philosophical .“There is still a sort of ‘diploma means this’ prejudice （偏见）among people,” Shen explains , “Many employers regard a diploma as the only sign of ability and talent.”So, with this in mind , people may pay little attention to whether someone has real ability or not . They turn to chasing a diploma instead . The unreal diploma is the natural product of this thought .The conclusion ? “China needs a new human resource system . The new system will not define a per son only by his or her diploma,” Shen says .1．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “dilemma” in Paragraph Four ?A．A problem easy to deal with or solve .B．A situation in which it is difficult for you to make the decision .C．A difference in two or more statements , ideas , or stories .D．Something said or done that is funny .2．What can we infer from this news report ?A．The Civil Administration Bureau of Wuhan employed the girl .B．The girl was not employed because of dishonesty .C．It remained to be seen whether the girl was to be employed or not .D．Another Human Resource Institute employed the girl .3．What does Shen Ronghua mean by saying “diploma means this” ?A．A diploma can tell whether a person is honest or not .B．A diploma is the only sign of ability and talent .C．A diploma is what you get after you finish a course .D．A diploma means a job .4．Which statement is NOT true according to the news report ?A．It seemed that the reporter agrees with Shen Ronghua’s opinion .B．If you want to get the job , you have to meet a certain education requirement .C．Most people held the view that morality was the most important thing .D．One official said that something should be done to change the human resource system . 5．Which of the following do you think is the best title of this news report ?A．A Girl’s Unlucky Experience B．Unreal DiplomaC．Dishonesty Has Been Attacked D．Can A Diploma Be All There IsBBy Alisha , (13) FloridaWhen I sit down in class , I often wonder why my teachers choose such a job .Don’t get me wrong : if it weren’t for teachers I wouldn’t be as smart as I am .

It’s not like I would take that junk from them . Do you think they become teachers to have the freedom that they didn’t have in school ? Or do they really want you to learn something ? ——If they do , why do they scream at you when you make a mistake , or talk ? We all are not perfect , so if you don’t get a lesson they teach , why do they say you haven’t been listening ? It is not all teachers that act like that . But to the ones that do , I’d like to shout at them : DON’T TEACH !!!!!!!By Alice ,(11) TennesseeLook , ever since I was 2 , I want to be like Julia Roberts . And I do what I can to make it happen .

The death caused great fear among beef-eaters all over the world .“We don’t believe it since until now I haven’t received even a smallest piece of paper reporting the real cause of the death,” said Mr Stone excitedly facing the thirty representatives from at least twenty countries that had been the biggest import countries of the British beef but now refused to have it . When he saw no signs of anybody being willing to speak out , Mr Stone got madder , adding , “You will have to eat beef every day , won’t you ? In the past , to get our beef , you ordered months in advance , as much as you could , saying in your thank-you letters: ‘W ithout the British beef we can’t imagine what a colorless sight would be on our countrymen’s dinner tables.’”“But now , gentlemen , you say ‘Mad Cow Disease …Death frightening …sorry to stop enjoying your beef for the moment !” Mr Stone let out a shout a nd then seized a handful of paper out from a paper bag lying beside the microphone , “Here ,here . What you are thinking about is all here . Have a look at your telegrams , gentlemen !” His audiences looked at each other , still expressionless . “Well , let our beef rot away , Mr Stone continued . “And let you men go hungry —they’ll be mad one day . Thank you !” He took his handkerchief out of his pocket , wiping off sweat while walking down back to his seat . All of the listeners stayed silent for seconds , then laughter burst out .They , including Mr Stone himself , laughed so much that the chairman of the conference announced a rest of ten minutes .9．From Mr Stone’s speech we know that .A．the British beef had been widely enjoyed by people out of the country .B．the British beef had once been widely praised by the people of the countryC．the British beef caused the so-called diseaseD．Mr Stone often received letters of thanks from beef-eaters10．Mr Stone thought that since his government didn’t prove that the death of the girl had been caused by the disease , the countries of which representatives were listening should agree to import .A．beef without disease B．some other beefC．a kind of beef as he suggested D．as much British beef as before11．The underlined word “mad” in the last but one paragraph means “” on Mr Stone’s side but “” on the listeners’ sid e .A．hungry ; angry B．bad ; good C．angry ; ill in mind D．ill in mind ; hungry 12．The laughter made by both the speaker and the listeners showed .A．the problem of the “Mad Cow Disease” would be solved in an easy mannerB．both sides felt something funnyC．the listeners were making fun of the British speaker—Mr StoneD．Mr Stone’s speech was a successful oneDEven plants can run a fever , especially when they’re under attack by insects or disease . But unlike human , plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away —straight up . A decade ago , adopting the infrared （红外线）scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites , physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress . The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide （杀虫剂）spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field , which invariably includes plants that don’t have pest （害虫）problems .Even better , Paley’s Remote S canning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye . Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night ,an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops . The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing w here plants were running “fevers” . Farmers could then spot-spray , using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide that they otherwise would .The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984 , after only three years . Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find . But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce , and refinements in infrared scanning , Paley hopes to get back into operation . Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works . “This technique ca n be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States ,” says George Oerther of Texas A& M, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture , thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade . But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago .13．Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are .A．sprayed with pesticides B．facing an infrared scannerC．in poor physical condition D．exposed to excessive sun rays14．In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely , we can use infrared scanning to .A．estimate the damage to the cropsB．measure the size of the affected areaC．draw a color-coded mapD．locate the problem area15．The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties , on of which is .A．the lack of official support B．its high costC．the lack of financial support D．its failure to help increase production 16．Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of .A．the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceB．growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on cropsC．the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureD．full support from agricultural expertsEThere are various ways in which individual economic units can interact with one another. The basic ways may be described as the market system , the administered system , and the traditional system .In a market system individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the marketplace. It is possible to buy commodities （商品）from other economic units or sell commodities to them . In a market , transactions（交易）may take place via barter or money exchange . In a barter economy , real goods such as automobiles , shoes , and pizzas are traded against each other . Obviously , finding somebody who wants to trade my old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task . Thus , the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably . In the modern market economy , goods and services are bought or sold for money .An alternative to the market system is administrative control by some agency over all transactions .
