But that wasn't the most extraordinary thing. The most extraordinary thing was that the Lake Shore Drive Bridge is a drawbridge.“The first time, it was scary," Dorsay told a reporter from the Chicago Sun-Times, recalling how a bell would ring and his home would tip into the air, allowing ships to pass along the Chicago River below. "After that, it was almost like riding a ferry's wheel." Brian Steele, a spokesman for the Chicago Department of Transportation, puts it more straightforwardly. "Essentially," he says, "it changed his living space from horizontal(水平的) to vertical. "Dorsay had a history of homelessness and emotional problem. but inthe bridge. he thought, he had finally found a kind of stability. "You've got to be kind of agile(敏捷的)," he admitted. "But it doesn't take genius to figure out what to do. " Dorsay is now without a home, though he is currently staying with his parents. Gary, his father, said,"I've always hoped that he would find a place and he would seek employment. He is strong enough and bright enough to do something."(B) 24. According to Richard Dorsay, why did he like living in the bridge?A. It was free.B. He felt more secure there.C. It was an extraordinary thing.D. He liked scary things.推理题。
高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they leant to. A few people are paid for sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional football player in England earns more than 300,000 dollars a year. The stars earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than 500,000 dollars a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much as that.Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply mean, “Buy our things”. It says, “Buy the same shirt and shoes as…” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photo of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.1.From the passage we can learn that .A.famous people spend too much money and time on sportsB.the development of sports is slower than any other activityC.most people enjoy sports because they can earn a lot of moneyD.now sports is not only an amusement for people2.In this passage “professional sportsmen” means people “_____________”.A.who teach others how to make money in sportsB.who take sports as their jobsC.who are very fond of sportsD.who teach other sportsmen how to play sports3.Now, the “sport” means .A.what most of the people do in their spare timeB.hunting wild animals and birds in the forestsC.organized gamesD.something that people are paid to4.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Most people play sports only for money.B.Those who play sports earn more than those who do not.C.People play sports for different purposes.D.Those who play sports want to keep strong and fit.【答案】1.D2.B3.C4.C【分析】本文是说明文。

As part of her research, she took a total of 30 lift rides in the two buildings, and discovered there was a fixed order about where people chose to stand.In her research paper, she wrote that more senior men seemed to walk straight towards the back of the lift. She said, “In front of them were younger men, and in front of them were women of all ages.” She also noticed there was a difference in the direction where people looked during the ride. “Men watched the monitors, looked in the side mirrors (in one building) to see themselves, and in the door mirrors (in the other building) to watch others. Women would watch the monitors and avoid looking into others,eyes (unless in conversations) and the mirrors. ”Rebekah Rousi concluded that shyer people stand toward the front,where they can’t see other passengers,while fearless people stand in the back, where they have a good view of everyone else.(1) According to the study, where people stand in a lift is decided by ________.A. their social positionB. the monitorsC. other passengersD. others’ position8/ 15(2) Who are most likely to go to the back of the lift?A.

高中英语阅读理解专题训练1【The spider】In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The ―spider story‖ is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web(蜘蛛织网). The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English… Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?Second, is the goal(目标)you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about his question, “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?”This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing anyway.The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to ―live with yourself‖ even though you may have failed. Remember, ―You can't win them all.‖1.This passage deals with two sides of failure. In paragraph 1,the author talks mainly about ______ .A.the value of failurB.how people would failC.famous failuresD.the cause of failure2.The underlined phrase“made it”means ______ .A.succeededB.failedC.gaveD.got3.The lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce seems ______ .A.productiveB.straight forwardC.sorrowfulD.deep4.The author tells you to do all things except ______ .A.The think about the cause of your failureB.to check out whether your goals are right for youC.to consider failure as a part or lifeD.to bear in mind that you will never fail in your life5.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Bruce and Edison were successful examples.B.Failure may be regarded as a way toward success.C.Edison learned a lot from the lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce.D.One may often raise a question whether his goals are worth attempting.答案:AADDC。

高中英语阅读理解练习5篇——附详细解析阅读理解Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses claiming that it is easy and quick to learn English. There is even a reference to William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens to encourage learners even more. When I see advertisements like this, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. But many people must believe these ridiculous claims, or else the advertisements would not appear.Of course it is clear that students who go to England to learn English have a great advantage over others, but too many cannot afford to do so. Some go to the opposite extreme and think they can teach themselves at home with dictionaries. But it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language, let alone produces good pronunciation and intonation.Most teaching is still based on behaviorist psychology. Behaviorists are fond of making students repeat phrases and making sentences. If we were parrots or chimpanzees, these methods might be successful. A large number of theorists seem to think it is a pity we aren't, because it would make it easier to use their methods.In my personal opinion, no one can ever learn to speak English or any other language unless he is interested in it. Human beings, unlike parrots and chimpanzees, do not like making noises unless they understand what the noises mean and can relate them to their own lives. It is worth remembering that language is a means of communication. What they listen to and read cannot be a formula. It must be real.There is another relevant point worth mentioning here. We need other people totalk to and listen to when we communicate. They can work with us and practice the unfamiliar forms with us in real situations, talking to each other about real life language.(1)Many people believe advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses probably because .A.they are encouraged by William Shakespeare or Charles DickensB.they are eager to learn and then believe themC.the ways advertised can help them to save time and effortsD.the ways advertised prove effective and helpful(2)What may behaviorists argue towards English learning?A.Human beings make more interesting noises than parrots and chimpanzees.B.Human beings should relate their speech to their own lives.nguage is a formula with lots of repetitions and practices.nguage is a means of communication.(3)What opinion does the author hold?A.A quick method that suits all the students does exist.B.English can be mastered within a very short period of time.C.Each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language.D.No one can learn English well without being interested in it.(4)What ways of learning is suggested by the author?A.Study abroad.B.Learn communicatively and situationally.C.Follow the behaviorists' approach.D.Teach oneself at home with dictionaries.【答案】(1)B(2)C(3)D(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,讲述了一名语言教师对语言学习的个人看法。
