外研版高中英语必修一《阅读理解》专项练习题（含答案）Graham and his friends preferred to shoot up in their arms, necks and legs. A dealer once said Graham was the type who would never be able to turn back and that he expected him to die from the drug. Wendy feared the same, but di dn’t know how to save her son. “ Once, after he’d disappeared for more than a month, I found him at a friend’s house with a bunch of other users,” she said, “I got down on my hands and knees, begging him to come home. He did, but the next morning he was go ne. I don’t know what made him do it, but I drove 20 miles to the nearest train station. Graham was headed for Seattle, his pockets full of drugs. If I hadn’t gotten there in time, I would never have seen him alive again.”The turning point came in 2007, after Graham was arrested yet again for possession. Wendy got a call from the Montana Drugs Project, which works with local law enforcement（强制执行）to keep track of youth-related crimes so it can help families in trouble. Following a counselor’s advice, Wendy hired two men to come to her home in the middle of the night, tie Graham and take him to a treatment program in Thompson Falls, Montana. “I was high when they came and really angry with my mom,” he said, “But if she hadn’t done that, drugs would have killed me.” After six months of treatment, Graham, now 19, came back to Kalispell, where he’s grown close to Wendy once again. “I still have the desires every day and attend support meetings every night,” he said, “But life is worth living again. My mom thinks that’s a miracle. I guess she is right.”1．The underlined phrase “shoot up” in paragraph 1 probably means_________.A．increase very quickly and suddenlyB．put illegal drugs into the body by using a needleC．kill or injure someone by using a gunD．try to achieve a particular aim2．When the two men came to their home in the middle of the night, Graham _______.A．had just taken drugs and was in the state of excitement.B．was sleeping in a high bed above the ground.C．had just taken drugs and was in the state of suffering.D．was quarrelling with his mother.3．What conclusion can be drawn from the end of the passage?A．Graham is still using drugs now.B．Graham hates his mother very much.C．Graham thinks he can’t be saved.D．Graham has come off drugs now.The future of pinnipeds (鳍足动物)looks much brighter today than it once did. At one time, about 100 years ago, it seemed certain that many pinnipeds in the world would be destroyed by human hunters. Today, it appears that most species( 物种) of pinnipeds are out of danger.Hunting was not controlled during the 18th and 19th centuries, because little was known about the lives of pinnipeds. Whales and pinnipeds were hunted for the oil from their body fat. This oil was used in lamps before electric lights were invented. Millions of seals and other pinnipeds were used to provide oil for the lamps of the world. As a result, the numbers of many pinniped species fell rapidly.Several things happened that helped to save pinnipeds. First, species that were hunted to near extinction (灭绝) were left alone because their numbers were too low and the cost of hunting them went up greatly. At the same time, electric lights were invented and the market for seal oil became smaller. Finally, governments around the world made laws to protect pinnipeds.As a result of all these things, the numbers of most pinniped species have grown in recent years. With some species, such as Northern fur seals, there may be as many animals alive today as there were before all the hunting began.However, oil is still a danger to pinnipeds and all sea animals. But this time it’s not because they are hunted for their oil. The oil that puts them in danger is from oil spills(泄露) in the sea. The oil covers their fur and reduces their body temperatures. Oil also sticks to the foods they eat. This modern danger to pinnipeds and their environment is one we must work to prevent.4．During the 18th and 19th century, _______.A．people had realized the importance of pinnipedsB．pinnipeds were hunted for their meatC．pinnipeds had a better life than todayD．many families were using lamps5．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．How electric lights were invented.B．When people began to protect pinnipeds.C．What governments around the world have done to save pinnipeds.D．Why the numbers of some pinnipeds have increased.6．It can be inferred from the passage that________.A．the market for seal oil is growingB．Northern fur seals aren’t in much danger nowC．oil spills are the biggest problem for pinnipedsD．stricter laws need to be made to protect pinnipeds7．In which part of a magazine can we most probably read this passage?A．Wildlife. B．Lifestyle.C．Tourism. D．Environment.When we want to tell other people what we think, we can do it with the help of words. We can also do it in many other ways, too. Sometimes we move our heads up and down when we want to say “yes”, and we shake our heads when we want to say “no ”. Some people can’t hear or speak. They talk with the help of gestures（手势）. People from other countries often have to do it if they don’t know your language.Here is a story. An American was once having his holiday in Italy, but he could not speak Italian. One day he went to a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, the American opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. In this way he wanted to say “Bring me something to eat”. The w aiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The American shook his head and the waiter understood that he didn’t want tea. So he took it away and brought him a glass of milk. The American shook his head again. He was very hungry now and looked sad. He was just going to leave the restaurant when another man came in. When this man saw the waiter, he put his hands on his stomach(胃). In a few minutes there was a large plate of bread and meat on the table in front of him.8．Sometimes people move their heads when they want to say “yes”.A．right and left B．fast and slowC．hard and easy D．up and down9．If people want to say , they may shake their heads.A．“no”B．“yes”C．“words”D．“OK”10．If you can’t , you may talk with the help of gestures.A．write and read B．say or singC．hear and speak D．go or comeAsia’s mountain glaciers (冰川) will lose at least a third of their mass through global warming by the century’s end, with serious consequences for millions of people who rely on them for fresh water, researchers have said. The high mountains of Asia consist of a geographical region surrounding the Tibetan Plateau, holding the biggest store of frozen water outside the poles. It feeds many of the world’s great rivers, including the Ganges, the Indus and the Y arlung Zangbo River, on which hundreds of millions of people depend.Nearly 200 nations adopted the Paris Agreement in 2015, which sets the goal of limiting warming to a level of “well below” 2°C, while “pursuing efforts” to achieve a lower ceiling of 1.5°C．Earth’s surface has already warmed by about 1°C, according to scientists.The Asian high mountains, the new study said, were already warming more rapidly than the global average. A global temperature rise of 1.5°C would mean an average increase in the region of about 2.1°C, with differences between mountain ranges - all of which will warm by more than 1.5°C．The Hindu Kush mountain range would warm by about 2.3°C and the eastern Himalaya Mountains by 1.9°C, the study forecast.“Even if temperatures stabili ze at their current level, (glacier) mass loss will continue for decades to come,” the researchers added. “For the high mountain glaciers to survive, it is vital to reduce the global temperature increase to the lowest possible level.”A study in July in the journal Nature Climate Change said there was only a 5% chance of holding global warming under 2°C．For 1.5°C, the chance was about 1%. On current trends, some experts project Earth is on track to warm by about 3°C．11．What is stressed about Asia’s mountai n glaciers in the first paragraph?A．The reason for its melting.B．Its importance.C．Its geographical condition.D．The consequences caused by its decrease.12．What do we know about the temperature on the earth’s surface?A．It keeps up its normal level.B．It has risen too much since the Paris Agreement was made.C．It is far below the level that the Paris Agreement demands.D．It is near the lower ceiling that the Paris Agreement demands.13．How may we guarantee these glaciers, continued existence, according to researchers?A．Hold global warming under 2°C．B．Try to save water as much as we can.C．Keep global temperature increase to a minimum.D．Make the global temperature stable at its current level.14．How does the author develop the passage?A．Giving examples. B．Describing.C．Presenting data. D．Comparing.The poaching，or illegal killing，of rhinos(犀牛) in South Africa is growing worse each year．The government recently reported that a record number of rhinos were poached in 2014，a year which had more rhino killings in South Africa than ever before．The World Wildlife Fund，or WWF，says about 20，000 rhinos live in South Africa．That is more than 80 percent of the rhinos in the world．Edna Molewa，South Africa’s environmental issues minister，says，“During 2014，we are sad to say this，1，215 rhinos were killed．This is a rise in the number of poached rhinos from 1004 in 2013 and indeed very worrying．”The animals are hunted for their horns(犀牛角)．Many people in Asia believe the horn has curing power，which drives poachers，at all costs，mad for more horns．But there is no scientific evidence for this belief．The horn is made of keratin．That is the same thing as human hair，fingernails and toenails．Ms．Mo1ewa said 386 suspected poachers were arrested last year，an increase from the year before．But rhino protection workers say poachers often go unpunished after arrest．SouthAfrica’s legal system is ineffective．Ms．Molewa said more needs to be done and South Africa is taking strong measures to protect rhinos．The efforts include moving some of the animals to secret places in neighboring countries．“Now approximately 100 rhinos have been moved to neighboring states in the SADC region during 2014 and 200 more rhinos will be moved this year”Molewa said．Jo Shaw，the rhino program manager at the WWF，said，“we’re talking about a loss of a hundred rhinos a month．Or more than three a day．We really need to see effective action not just at a national level but internationally．”She says officials should find the criminal groups responsible for the poaching and punish them．Government officials are to meet in Botswana in March at the Inter-governmental Conference on Illegal Wildlife Trade．15．What do we know about rhinos?A．Half of the rhinos live in South Africa．B．Less than 1，000 rhinos were killed in 2013．C．The killing reached the highest point in 2014．D．There are only 20，000 rhinos left in the world．16．What is the main reason for people to hunt rhinos?A．To get more keratin．B．To protect the farmland．C．To use them for decoration．D．To make money from horns．17．Jo Shaw thinks that_________．A．many criminal groups are well organizedB．new laws are needed to punish the killersC．rhino protection needs international cooperationD．conferences about protecting rhinos are to be held every year18．What can we infer from the text?A．Rhino protection has a long way to go．B．No one would like to buy horns in the future．C．The illegal killing of rhinos will soon disappear．D．Rhinos living in South Africa will move to other countries．A typical school day in the UK starts around 8:30 am. This is often even earlier elsewhere in the world, with students sitting down to their first lesson at 7:30 am in the US. The average teenager ideally needs eight to nine hours’ sleep each night, but in reality a lot of teenagers struggle to get this much. A lot of the problems happen because our sleep patterns are not fixed, and they change as we grow.So a later school start time could help to solve this problem, by ensuring to get their eight plus hours of sle ep and react properly to their body’s natural rhythms(规律). There has been a general change over the past 25 years to shorten the school day, This is not at the cost of teaching time (which has remained constant) but at the cost of natural breaks, which has led to reduced lunch time and lesson breaks.Later start times could help teens’ grades and health. This is mainly because it makes the management of children easier. Managing hundreds of children “playing” requires effective staffing. And there is always the fear that behavior worsens during breaks. So the theory goes that having them in class and strictly managed must be better.But this means that students barely have enough time to absorb what they were doing in maths before suddenly they are forced to study ancient history. And teaching staff also move through from one class to another, with hardly a rest or time to refocus.Clearly rethinking the school day could benefit everyone included. Anyway, it could also lead to better achievement in teenagers and less of a struggle for parents in the mornings. For teachers, it could also mean a less stressful day all around and what could be better than that?19．At what time do the students start their first lesson in the US?A．7:00 B．7:30C．8:00 D．8:3020．How do schools often shorten the school day?A．They reduce children’s lunch time and lesson breaks.B．They reduce the teaching time.C．They properly adjust c hildren’ natural rhythms.D．They increase more holidays.21．What’s the purpose of the short lesson breaks according to the text?A．To make children behave better in class.B．To make children quickly take in what they learned.C．To reduce children’s excitem ent.D．To manage children more easily.22．What can we learn about later school start time from the text?A．It will add to the teacher’s pressure.B．It has always been there for 25 years.C．Parents may support it.D．It benefits the students only.In Alaska, the US, the grizzly bears are not alone because of Timothy Treadwell. Everyone knows that grizzly bears can be very dangerous to people. However, people can be perilous to grizzly bears, too, because their fur and food are beneficial for some people. In fact, half of the grizzly bears die before they are five years old, even though they can live for about 30 years.Grizzly bears hibernate every winter. They sleep for several months. During this period, they don’t wake up or eat anything. When they wak e up in the spring, the grizzlies are in danger. But Timothy can protect them. He sleeps in a tent near the bears and bathes in a river with them. People do not hurt the bears when Timothy is with them.Timothy went to Alaska for the first time about 17 years ago. He was attracted by the beauty of the land and the prettiness of the animals. When he learned that people kill many grizzly bears every year, Timothy determined to protect the grizzly bears and to keep the bears safe from danger, so he lives with the bears for four to five months every year. At the beginning, Timothy’s parents didn’t agree, but later, they firmly supported him to do so, because they also wanted to protect bears as him.Timothy has lived with the grizzlies every spring for about 17 years. Some bears are now his friends. He gave them names. His friend Booble sometimes gives him fish which he likes. His friend Lazy sleeps near his tent every night. Every winter, when the bears hibernate, Timothy returns to his home in California. Then he teaches children and adults about his friends in Alaska.23．What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word“perilous”in the first paragraph?A．Powerful B．Dangerous C．Generous D．Friendly24．How does Timothy protect grizzly bears?A．Timothy lives with bears for four to five months every year to protect them.B．Timothy protects the bears every year with the help of his friends in Alaska.C．Timothy’s parents help him to protect the bears together.D．Timothy set up some tents for the bears to escape from danger.25．From the passage, we know that ________.A．People don’t hurt the bears because they are afraid of Timothy’s gun.B．Timothy went to Alaska to enjoy the beauty of the land.C．Timothy lives in peace and harmony with the dangerous bears.D．Booble enj oys eating fish and sleeping near Timothy’s tent.26．The best title of the passage is ________.A．The Grizzly Bear B．Man and AnimalsC．Experience in Alaska D．The Bear ManIf a noisy neighbor is blasting music at all hours of the day and night, drowning out your phone conversations and interrupting your sleep, you can call the police. But what is a whale to do?Natural noise from waves, wind, rain and even earthquakes is common in oceans. Unfortunately, man-made noise from oil and gas drilling, sonar, and ships is also present.Low frequency noise has doubled off the California coast every decade since the nineteensixties. The main reasons are ships' propellers (螺旋桨). They not only generate continuous low frequency sound, some propellers cavitate(形成气穴), which means they create air bubbles that collapse, creating loud popping sounds.Whales use low frequency calls to communicate across thousands of miles of ocean. They are threatened by noise pollution because it can prevent them from contacting each other and from locating their foods. Endangered humpback and right whales, which use fibrous baleen to strain food from the water, are the most at risk.Scientists studying right whales off Canada's east coast have discovered that whales are sending louder calls through the water to make themselves heard. Because they invest more energy in making calls, they have less energy available for finding food and mating. Other scientists measuring whale calls against background noise pollution have discovered that right whales have lost about eighty percent of their normal communication area. This could seriously affect survival of this already threatened species.Scientists don't have badges and guns, but they are trying to correct the noise pollution problem. By tracking ships and marine mammals and understanding how noise travels, they are creating sound maps. They hope to get shipping lanes moved so that the noise pollution ships create will not overlap with areas most important to the whales.27．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Whales are in danger because of the noise.B．Noise pollution is affecting whales.C．Natural noise is good for whales.D．How to protect whales endangered.28．The following statements are true EXCEPT ________.A．You can call the police if you are disturbed by a noisy neighbor.B．Low frequency noise has doubled off the Canadian coast every decade since the 1960s.C．Noise pollution can prevent whales from contacting each other and from locating prey.D．Endangered humpback and right whales are the most at risk.29．We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.A．some areas important to whales are overlapped with the ship lanesB．scientists are creating the sound maps by tracking ships and marine mammalsC．if scientists have guns, they can correct the noise pollutionD．scientists have worked out a plan to protect the whales30．According to scientists，________.A．right whales off the Californian coast have been in danger because of the loss of the energyB．right whales cannot find food and mate for they lose a lot of living areaC．there are about 20% of the normal communication areas still available for the right whalesD．the right whales always invest most of their energy for making callsChildren are our future, and it’s up to us to arm them with the tools to succeed. Sadly, today’s children are being armed with more dangerous tools like weapons (武器), drugs and gangs. Once a relatively peaceful environment, many schoolyards of today are becoming unsafe for both students and teachers.Home schools are available to give you choices. Home schooling provides top-quality education, flexibility, and freedom to create your own schedule. At Heritage Home School we believe the choice should be yours.Thanks in part to modern technology, home schooling information is becoming readily available across our nation. A recent study by the ITBS (Iowa Tests of Basic Skills) and TAP (Tests of Achievement and Proficiency) shows us that students of home schools do particularly well when compared with the nationwide average. In every subject at every grade level, students of home schooling scored obviously higher than those in public and private schools.If you’re new to home schooling, you may be asking yourself, “Will home schools really work for my children?”Fact: A nationwide study using a random(任意)selection of 1,516 families found students of home schooling to be scoring, on average, at or above the 80th percentile in all areas on standardized achievement test.Note: The national average on standardized achievement tests is the 50th percentile.Collectively, the staff at Heritage Home School brings 65 years of experience in home schooling curriculum. We’ve placed students in the top 2 % of the nation in math and many aresuccessfully moving on to college.One study found that of the home schooled adults, 0% were unemployed, 0% were on welfare and 94% said home education prepared them to be independent persons.For more home schooling information, call us today toll free at (877) 532-7665.31．We can learn from the first paragraph that ________.A．many schools armed their students with weaponsB．violence and crime exist in many schoolyardsC．students use weapons to defend their schoolyardsD．weapons are more dangerous than drugs32．All of the following are true of home schools EXCEPT that ________.A．students are free to choose their coursesB．students do well in important national testsC．they help students find jobsD．they help students to be independent33．What is the purpose of the text?A．To give information about different schools.B．To compare home schools with other schools.C．To suggest a new method of school education.D．To persuade people to choose home schools.34．The advertisement is mainly aimed at ________.A．students B．parents C．teachers D．adultsHow are you and your family going to celebrate Earth Day?

A deep-seated preference for night life and subways, the thinking goes, has driven the revitalization of urban cores across the U.S. over the last decade-plus.But there’s mounting evidence that millennials’ love of cities was a passing fling(放纵). Millennials don’t love cities any more than previous generations.The latest argument comes from Dowell Myers, an urban planning professor at USC．As they age, says Myers, millennials’ presence in cities, will “be evaporating(蒸发) through our fingers, i f we don’t make some plans now.” That’s because millennials’ preference for cities will fade as they start families and become more established in their careers.It’s about more than aging, though. Demographer William Frey has been arguing for years that m illennials have become‘stuck’in cities by the 2008 downturn and the following slow recovery, with poor job prospects and declining wages making it harder for them to afford to buy homes in suburbia.Myers, too, says observers have confused young people’s p resence in cities with a preference for cities. Survey data shows that more millennials would like to be living in the suburbs than actually are. But the normal career and family cycles moving young people from cities into suburban houses have become, in M yers’ words, “a plugged up drain.”But unemployment has finally returned to healthy lows (though participation rates and wages are still largely stagnant), which Myers says should finally increase mobility for millennials.Other trends among millennials, supposedly matters of lifestyle preference, have already turned out to have been driven mostly by economics. What was once deemed their broad preference for public transit may have always been a now-reversing inability to afford cars. Even decades-long tren ds towards marrying later have been accentuated as today’ s young people struggle for financial stability.Investors are already taking the idea that millennials will return to old behavior patterns seriously, putting more money into auto manufacturers and developers. But urban lifestyles, up to and including trendy bars, aren’t just hip—they’re a part of what powers a city’s economic engines, bringing people together to explore new ideas, create companies, and build careers.From the 1960s to the 1990s, we saw that suburbanization(城市郊区化) also means an economic and social hollowing out for cities. Now that the economic shackles are coming offtoday’s young city residents, cities that want to stay vibrant(充满生机的) have to figure out how to convince them—and their growing families—to stick around.38．Why are Millennials about to leave city?A．It is too expensive for them to buy apartment in cities.B．They find it difficult for to seek a god job in cities.C．It is easier to get married moving to the suburban.D．They are more confident with their economic situation.39．What does the author mean quoting Myerˈs “a plugged up drain"(para 5)?A．Millennials are reluctant to leave attractive cities.B．Millennals are stopped from moving to the suburbs.C．Milennials are unwilling to be cut off from the suburban.D．Millennials are afraid of another economic decline.40．How does the author feel about the suburbanization?A．sign of stable finance.B．A growth of health issuesC．A conflict of new ideas.D．A loss of modem lifePlanet Earth would be a scary place for humans if dinosaurs still ruled the world.Though there are still some traces of life from the Jurassic Period, the Age of Dinosaurs more than 65 million years ago.This mass extinction is believed to be the result of an asteriod（小行星）hitting Earth. A new report by the journal Biological Reviews called " The Extinction of Dinosaurs” concludes that this impact was, indeed, the cause of the dinosaurs’____But the space blast(爆炸) wasn't the only reason these creatures aren't still around today.Dinosaurs need food to survive. Meat-eating monsters like the Tyrannosaurus Rex(霸王龙) were at the top of the food chain, and fed off plant eaters like the horned Triceratops (三角恐龙). These herbivores (食草动物) were decreasing in population after the asteroid hit Earth, which left the meat-eating species less food to survive on. “In any ecosystem where you remove links to key species, that community has problems," Richard Butler, one of the review's authors, told。

必修第一册Unit3阅读理解题组——练速度Ⅰ.阅读理解ALondon and Paris are two of Europe’s biggest tourist destinations,just a few hours away from each other by road or rail and an hour’s distance by air.What about the train-ferry combination that many recall fondly from theirchildhoods?Well,though it’s budget-saving,this option is too time-consuming today,so better leave it to your memories.Since the UK is not part of the Schengen Area,passengers need to go through passport control prior to boarding.Airtrips:Though flying between London and Paris is by no means recommended,there are still a few people traveling between the two dynamic cities by air.A very low one-way fare is possible through advanced booking,but of course it’s rare,and that doesn’t include the taxi and rail fares traveling to and from the airports.* One-way fares from Paris can be as low as 49;* From London,Air France flies with fares as low as ￡39( 46),and British Airways as low as ￡48(56).Railtrips:The only direct train between London and Paris is the Eurostar,which travels 15-17 times per weekday.Eurostar’s edition trains can make the journey in two hours at speeds of up to 320 km/h.Besides,they offer good seating space.* Fares begin at a reasonable ￡58(68),round trip;* The earlier you book,the more you save.Bustrips:The bus is by far the least expensive and longest way to travel between Paris and London.Eurolines and OUIBUS are two major bus lines traveling between the two capitals.The journey takes between seven and nine hours.Both lines advertise free Wi-fi.* One-way Eurolines fares begin at 15;* One-way OUIBUS fares begin at 15 too,but early bird sales can even lower the fare.1.Which way is probably the most expensive for a round trip?A.By train-ferry.B.By air.C.By rail.D.By bus.2.What special service does

competing companies.C.They are more e the Paris end.D.There are still additional fees to be included.BRescuers in the Turkish city of Izmir have pulled a young girl out alive from the remains of a collapsed housing complex four days after a strong earthquake hit Turkey and Greece.The girl was taken to a hospital in an emergency vehicle.Sounds of cheering could be heard from rescue workers and people watching nearby.Health Minister Fahrettin Koca identified the girl on Twitter as 3-year-old Ayda Gezgin.The child had been trapped inside therubble(瓦砾) for 91 hours.She was the 107th person to have been rescued from collapsed buildings since Friday,the day the quake struck.After her rescue,Ayda could be heard calling out for her mother in a video that played on television.But Ayda’s mot her did not survive.Her body was found in the rubble hours later.Ayda’s brother and father were not inside the building at the time of the quake.Rescuer Nusret Aksoy told reporters he was searching through the wreckage of the building when he heard a chil d’s scream.He then called for silence.He later found the girl in a small space next to a dishwasher.The girl waved at him,told him her name and said that she was okay,Aksoy said.“I got goose bumps(起鸡皮疙瘩) and my colleague Ahmet cried,”he told HaberTurk tele vision.Ibrahim Topal,of the Humanitarian Relief Foundation said:“My colleague and I

them,so it’s no wonder they spend so much time staring at them.But even if the saying that looking at a screen for too long gives you square eyes isn’t true,there is still some concern.So,should we be worried?Certainly for children who spend hours glued to a screen,there is a concern that their health might be at risk.Also there is a fearthat their eyesight is declining too.A lthough there’s not much evidence to prove this yet,recent findings have brought the problem into light.Chris Hammond,consultant at St Thomas’ Hospital,says “We find short-sightedness is becoming more common.It has greatly spread in East Asia,Singapore,South Korea where approaching 90% of 18-year-olds are now short-sighted.”But can this be linked to children’s addiction to using electronic gadgets?Annegret Dahlmann,eoorfields Eve Hospital in London,says lack of natural light seems to be the key issue.She’s suggested that children in East Asia study a lot,using computers,smartphones or tablets,and they go outside less.Wearing glasses is one solution,but it’s not ideal.This leads to a dilemma:achieving short-term academic success or protecting your long-ter m eyesight.It’s always going to be a challenge to drag children away from their screens and it’s likely that more and more studying will be done online.But despite that,Professor Hammond says,“In regions like urban China,where 10%of children in each class per year are becoming short-sighted from about the age of sient for saying we should be trying to prevent it.” It’s evidence we can’t turn a blind eye to.So,maybe it’s time to hit the “off” button and get our children outside?8.What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?A.Recent findings have opened our eyes to the issue of eyesight.B.Looking at a screen for too long will get you square eyes.C.It has been confirmed that children’s eyesight is failing.ing electronic gadgets affects children’s education.9.According to Annegret,which is mainly to blame forshort-sightedness?A.Wearing glasses.B.Heavy school work.ck of natural light.D.Booming technology.10.What trouble has raised concerns according to the text?A.Learning online or offline.B.Reading for pleasure or exams.C.Focusing on study or protecting eyesight.D.Protecting eyesight or promoting technology.11.What does the author call on children to do?A.Study hard.B.Head outdoors.C.Quit the

impossible.Giant’s Causeway,Carrick-a-Rede,the Iron Isles’ filming locations...However,when I make my way to the north of the country in October,none of them are on my mind.What brings me to the coastal town of Portrush are the waves.Located,on a peninsula,Portrush is home to three brilliant beaches and all the usual points of interest of a coastal town.But what makes the North Antrim Coast so special is the promise of the consistent waves hitting its shores.Although still relatively unknown,it’s a surfer’s dream destination.This is the home of sipion,Andrew Hill,after all.I meet Andrew at his surf shop,the most popular in Portrush.After hiring a surf board and jumping in the water at West Strand,I quickly realise that my trusted wetsuit is not enough.Within just 30 minutes,I’ve lost all feeling in my feet and hands,and my ears are burning.I retreat to a nearby café and gulp down steaming tea before popping by Andrew’s shop again.Surf boots are what I need,we decide.I leave with a new determination to master the icy Atlantic waves.I’m invited to surf a different spot with Andrew and his friend that afternoon,but I decline his generous offer.My head is set on one thing only:taking revenge on the same waves that almost turned me into an ice block that very morning.Even with boots,surfing the cold waters of Portrush leaves my feet purple.I becom e covered in bruises

photographed.1 .Although only having been open since 1973,it is as representative of Australia as the pyramids are of Egypt and the Colosseum of Rome.2 ,which reaches out into the harbour.The skyline of the Sydney Harbour Bridge,the blue water of the harbour and the Sydney Opera House,viewed from a ferry or from the air,are dramatic and unforgettable.In the late 1950s the NSW Government established an appeal fund to finance the construction of the Sydney Opera House,and conducteda competition for its design.3 . The irony was that his design was,arguably,beyond the capabilities of engineering of the time.Utzon spent a couple of years reworking the design and it was 1961 before he had solved the problem of how to build the distinguishing feature—the “sails” of the roof.The venture experienced cost blow-outs and there were occasions when the NSW Government was tempted to call a halt.In 1966 the situation—with arguments about cost and the interior design,and the Government withholding progress payments—reached crisis point and Utzon resigned from the project. 4 .The Sydney Opera house:★Was designed by Danish architect Utzon.★Was opened by Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ on 20 October 1973.★ 5 .★Conducts 3,000 events each year.★Provides guided tours to 200,000 people each year.★Has an annual audience of 2 million for its performances.A.Looks like a boat to sailB.Utzon’s design was chosenC.Cost $AU 102,000,000 to buildD.The Opera House is situated on Bennelong PointE.The building was eventually completed by others in 1973F.Not only is it recognisable,but it has come to represent “Australia”G.Sydney Opera House is one of the most beautiful structures in the world答案：Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。

考点3 阅读理解一、科普知识类Passage 1 (2012·安徽·D)In Asia, there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them. Although all kites have a similar structure (结构), they are widely different in size and shape. Kite-fighting competitions are also held, in which competitors use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents’(对手) kites or cut their strings(线).For more than 15 years, the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite-making and kite-flying classes for the children on an island in Hawaii. In its kite-making lessons, students can make kites in as little as 20 minutes! Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite. Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980. Their kites are made of nylon(尼龙).Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne. The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite.The kite that is used to give lessons is a regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern. The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two-string controllable kite. Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students howpulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in. Then the controls are given to the students.Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites. Even the simplest structure can work, and can give hours of fun. Go on, give it a try!【文章大意】本文是关于在the Big Wind Kite Factory里,通过学习风筝设计、风筝制作、风筝放飞等,孩子们得到的乐趣。

必修第一册Unit1Ⅰ.阅读理解A(原创预测题)For many of us,the pandemic(流行病) revealed who our closest friends are.For children,the situation was even more dramatic.Many missed their social circle—especially their best friends.These friends aren’t just people we enjoy hanging out with;they are the ones we trust completely.As children,we tend to treat them as members of our eily,to the point where their homes may feel as familiar as our own.As adults,we know we can call them at a moment’s notice to share the highs and lo ws of our daily lives.Children often have a pragmatic(务实的) view of friendship,forming close bonds with peers in the playground or classroom,says Eileen Kennedy-Moore.“It is a‘love the one you’re with’ approach.” Psychologists say best friendships can help children prepare for close relationships,including romantic ones,as they grow up.“Best friendship is really like falling inlove,” says Kennedy-Moore.“Close friendships in childhood help kids practice the skills they need in close relationships throughout their lives.They learn about other people,and about themselves,to deal with feelings like loneliness,jealousy and frustration.”If children don’t talk about friends at home,it doesn’t mean they don’t have any,she says,adding that this may be because the y prefer a quieter style of interacting with others.Parents can support their children in forming friendships by organizing fun meet-ups outside of school.“Kids usually make friends by doing fun things together,so you may want to think about your children’s interests and seek out activities that fit their personality and could be done with other children,” says Kennedy-Moore.Whether it’s a playground friend or a close cousin,having a friend and ally in life can clearly make a huge difference.For some,that bond starts in childhood.For others,it may take more time.But it’s worth insisting on—because it’s never too late to find a best friend.1.What do we know about children and their best friends?A.They like to hang out together.B.They are much like family members.C.They do the same thing in their daily life.D.They tend to share everything with each other.2.What kind of people do children often make friends with?A.Members of their families.B.Classmates or relatives.C.People of similar age around them.D.Members of the opposite sex.3.In which aspect do children benefit from close friendships in childhood?A.Treating mental illness.B.Learning to fall in love.C.Developing social skills.D.Handling emotional problems.4.What’s the text mainly about?A.How childhood friendships form.B.How to help children choose friends.C.Methods to develop close relationships.D.The significance of friendships to people.B(河南洛阳二模)Bristol University will offer students lessons in happiness.The university is offering the 12-week course to students from all university disciplines next year,which will count towards 20 of their 120 credit points for their first year on campus.The course,to be taught by Professor Bruce Hood,an expert who studies how the brain works and how humans think,will explore what happiness is and how to achieve it.Last year,400 students signed up for a pilot happiness course at the university,which did not result in academic credits,as part of the university’s efforts to improve well-being.Professor Hood said,“We’re really excited that the university has got a lot behind the course.This course will be built and established on what we’ve already learnt in the first year but of course we’re goingto monitor the students much more closely because it’s for academic credits.They can’t take an easy option—they’ve really got to put in a lot of effort.”The voluntary course was originally introduced amid(在……当中) growing concerns about student mental styear,students called for more support and services for young people with mental health issues at the university.Under the new course,students will attend a one-hour lecture each week as well as attending a “happiness hub”.Lectures will address a series of issues,including whether happiness is in the genes and if it can really be changed,how our minds influence happiness and the role of culture in happiness.Students will be asked to select one of seven happiness exercises to practise for a week,and then evaluate(评估) the effect it has on them.This will be discussed at the weekly happiness hub meetings.The eore,meditating(冥想),expressing gratitude for people and things,and practising random acts of kindness.5.Who will get credit points on the lessons in happiness?A.The twelfth graders.B.Graders of all periods.C.Senior students.D.The freshmen.6.How will the students find the happiness course?A.Encouraging.B.Eple.7.What can students do by taking the happiness course?A.They

考点3 阅读理解一、科普知识类(重庆卷·C)话题:生活词数:259w难度:★★★★The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly.Sadly,biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid—we simply weigh too much,and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet,resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.However, several types of animals can walk on water.One of the most interesting is the common basiliskBasilicus basilicus,a lizard(蜥蜴)native to Central and South America.It can run across water for a distance of several meters,avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water’s surface with its feet.The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward.For humans to do this,we’d need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate“hitting”.But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour. By adding enoughof this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot),you can create a“non-Newtonian”liquid that doesn’t behave like normal water.Now,if the surface of the water is hit hard enough,particles(粒子)in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard.Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour.Fun though all this may sound,it’s still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice.If you must do it,then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink—and take a shower afterward!【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。

Bell.B.Bess Kalb.C.Bess’s mother.D.Bobby’s mother.BHow does a brilliant teacher get that way?The question of how they developed has as many answers as there are inspired instructors.One eing woman who has become one of the best ever at taking disadvantaged students to a new level.Jackson was born in Altoona.Her father was a construction worker.When she was in the eighth grade,her father died.Her principal,Mrs.Brown,said not to worry about schoolwork for a while.That upset her.Her father would not have wanted her to do anything but her best.He always said,“Don’t let your first failure be the reason for your neplished shooting guard inbasketball and a star sprinter on the track team,running the quarter-mile in 57 seconds.She thought she might become a sports broadcaster.She gave no thought to teaching until a friend took her to an introduction to a program,which placed novice instructors in schools full of low-income children.Jackson liked the idea of giving back,as well as the chance to have some of her student loans forgiven.She is a big sports person,and that is how she connects with lots of kids.She couldn’t motivate children until she knew what was bo thering or pleasing them.“Students learn from people who love them,” she said.“They will be motivated and inspired to learn if they know deep down that you care about them.” In class she gave basketball tickets to students who were doing their work.At weekly drawings they could win sticky notes,pencils or other small prizes.She helped create after-school clubs.A tall student said to her,“I’m a baller.I heard you play ball.”There was a basketball league in Paterson,but the school didn’t have a team.Jackson started one with support from local business executives.Thestudent,Essence Carson,went to Rutgers University,was afirst-round draft(运动员选拔制) selection for the WNBA’s New York Liberty and now plays for the Connecticut Sun.4.Why did Mrs.Brown’s words upset Jackson?A.Her father just passed away.B.She

desired.C.The student loans Jackson owed.D.The athletics Jackson did well in.6.Why did Jackson give small prizes to her students in class?A.To connect with them.B.To please or bother them.C.To encourage them to learn.D.To show her love to them.7.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Jackson founded a school team in Paterson alone.B.Jackson played in the basketball league in Paterson.C.Jackson selected Essence to play for WNBA’s New York Liberty.D.Jackson should take some credit for Essence’s p rofessional career.CThe rise of the machines was always going to come at a cost,as each wave of technology destroys what has been put in place.The fast pace of technological development in the areas of artificial intelligence (AI) and robots is causing massive changes in the finance industry.The effect is already being felt on Wall Street,where there have been far-reaching and significant changes.Many investment banks and big institutions (机构),in order to cut costs and meanwhile increase the amount of work,use AI to take on financial tasks usually done by humans,such as wealth management,operations,riskmanagement and trading,where robots carry out 50% to 60% market trades,according to CNN.The preference for technology over human traders results from the inability of the vast majority of traders to act consistently reasonably when they’re trading.Often,people fail to control themselves,allowing emotions to get in the way of their thoughts and actions.Machines don’t suffer from these psychological issues when a major trading decision is being made.This is because they remove emotions from short-term trading activity,allowing for a more objective approach to trading.Artificial intelligence and robotics are fast advancing in the investment sector,where their unbelievable abilities to learn and think will eventually make them the most advanced and compleent systems capable of helping corporations to make more effective choices.Activities such as calculations based on structured data and other repetitive support tasks are well-suited for robots.While AI is probably the most powerful technology today,its ability to perform compleited.Trading machines can only learnhistorical data and trade patterns.However,stock market behavior changes all the time and computers can be less skilled in the face of unearket performance.Humans can easily adjust themselves to these changes.Getting the robots to do the same,however,will require changing their algorithms (算法),which can be tooee-consuming.For this reason,humans will always be a step ahead and remain useful.8.Why do many institutions use AI to replace human employees?A.To show a preference for new technology.B.To promote working productivity.C.To expand the application of AI.D.To increase the safety of work.9.What advantage do machines have over humans?A.They are hardly disturbed by moods.B.They can make subjective decisions.C.They are far more loyal to their jobs.D.They can perform complex tasks.10.Which of the following can best describe the underlined word “structured” in Paragraph 4?A.Advanced in a pattern.B.Repeated in a task.plicated in data.D.Fi.11.What will happen in the future according to the last paragraph?A.There will be an obvious rise in skilled workers.B.AI can create all-around profits at a little cost.C.Humans still have a place in the job market.D.Robots shall replace man at high speed.DThink of the last time you disagreed with another person.Maybe you argued with a sibling (兄弟;姊妹) over what to watch on TV.Or perhaps you tried to convince grown-ups that ice cream makes a better dinner than vegetables.How did your disagreement end?Were you able to see the issue from the other person’s viewpoint?In many situations,disagreements are unavoidable.They’re part of life.After all,everyone has different opinions.We all have past experiences that shape how we see the world.Still,not alldisagreements are bad.In fact,many people look at them as opportunities to learn.They do so by trying to understand where both sides are coming from.How can you understand both sides of an issue?Often,it’s best to start by asking questions.Questions help us learn about the world around us.The right questions can also help us learn about other people.In a disagreement,asking for more information can help you learn about a person’s viewpoint.It can also lead you to gather more facts.This can paint a better picture of the entire issue.When seeking to understand both sides of an issue,it’s important to know the difference between facts andopinions.Remember,facts are based on true information.Opinions can change from person to person.Paying attention to facts can stop biases (偏见)from taking over in a disagreement.This

阅读和完形专练Section A阅读理解In Europe, people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right throughout the meal, a system that is generally agreed to be moreefficient than the American zigzag（曲折的）method. Americans holdboth the fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal, so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat. It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets, making a lot of noises.A few explanations for this American style are as follows:(1) Americans are practical and efficient. Since most of us are right-handed, it is reasonable to keep our working tools at all times in the right hand that can use them most efficiently.(2) Americans, the master of the New World are rebels（叛逆者）.They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England. Americans are a restless kind. They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining.(3) Forced to do so, they respond by “playing” with the silver.Whatever the reason for the practice, it is now certainly as American as apple pie. Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of American innocence （无知）of form. Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition. In Old World dining, the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders（入侵者）.However, such alertness（警觉）is out of place in the New World, as every American believes that this is the home of the brave. Americans juggle their silverware, perhaps, to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding blades（刀）.1. Americans use _______ to hold their fork to pick up the salad.A. the right handB. the left handC. both handsD. either of the two hands2. As the masters of the New World, Americans use a different cutting method from that in the Old World to _________________.A. show their independence of Mother EnglandB. show their disrespect to Mother EnglandC. add a new tradition to those in Mother EnglandD. show off their creativeness to Mother England3.I n the sentence, the word “juggle” probably means ____________.A. holdB. play withC. pick upD. lay down4.Also in the last sentence,the two “them” refer to ____________.A. AmericansB. EuropeansC. Americans and Europeans separatelyD. Europeans and Americans separately5. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. European people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand.B. The zigzag eating method is related to American characteristics.C. The zigzag eating method has become an American feature.D. European people will use the American method because of its efficiency.Section B完形填空Experts consider moving to be one of the important stresses in life.
