英文阅读理解Passage 1There are stories about two U．S . presidents，Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren，which attempt to explain the American English term OK．We don’t know if either story is true，but they are both interesting．The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education．In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing．When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said．If he approved of a paper．he would writ e“all correct”on it．The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell．So what he really wrote was“ol korekt”．After a while，he shortened that term to“OK”．The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born，Kinderhook，New York．Van Bnren’s friends organized a club to help him become President They caned the club the Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called“OK”．31．The authorA. believes both of the stories B．doesn’t believe a word of the storie sC．is not sure whether the stories are true D. is telling the stories just for fun32.According to the passage，President JacksonA．couldn’t draw up any documents at all B. didn’t like to read important papers by himselfC．often had his as sistants sign documents for him D .wasn’t good at reading，writing or spelling33．According to the first story, the term “OK” A. was approved of by President Jackson B．was the title of some Official documentsC．was first used by President Jackson D．was an old way to spell“all correct’’34 .According to the second story，the term‘‘OK”A．was the short way to say‘‘old Kinderhook Club” B．meant the place where President Van Buren was bornC．was the name of Van Buren’s club D．was used to call Van Buren’s supporters in the election35．According to the second story．the term“OK”was first used __A．by Van Buren B．in a presidential electionC．to organize the Old Kinderhook Club D．by the members of the‘‘Old Kinderhook Club”Passage 2Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs，its people are by now almost entirely an urban society Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业)，and most of the rest live in or around towns，small and large．Here the traditional picture is changing：every small town may still be very like other small towns，and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country，but most Americans do not live in small towns anymore．Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(1arge cities with their suburbs、of more than a million people each—a larger proportion than in Germany or England，let alone France．The statistics(统计)of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day．As the rush to live out of town continues．rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses，so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment．36．If now America has 250 million people．how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry?A．About 25 million．B．More than 25 million．C．Less than 25 million． D. Less than 225 million37．Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in metropolitan areas?A．United States．B．Germany．C．France．D．England．38．What’s the meaning of the word“metropolitan”in the middle of the passage?A .Of a large city with its suburbs．B．Of small and large towns．C．Of urban areas．D．Of rural areas．39．According to the passage，what can we learn about small towns in the United States?A Most small towns become gradually crowded B．Small towns are still similar to each other．C．As the traditional picture is changing，towns are different． D .Small towns are turning into large cities40．Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb?A．Because they are the same．B．Because the rush takes place too quicklyC．Because the process is gradual．D．Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas．Passage 3If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day，we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war．Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to Write．For example，we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4，000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them．But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa．because they had not learned to write．Sometimes．of course，even if the people cannot write，they may know something of the past．They have heard about it from older people，and often songs and dances and stories havebeen made about the most important happenings，and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past．T his we may call ’remembered history’．Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is，because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing．But where there are no written records，such spoken stories are often very helpful．41. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?A．“Remembered history”，compared with written history，is less reliableB．Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history．C．A written account of our daily activities helps US to be able to answer many questions．D．Where there are no written records．there is no history．42．We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because ___A．there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB .the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC．the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD．the people there did not know how to write43．“Remembered history”refers to ___．A．history based on a person’s imaginationB .stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC .songs and dances about the most important eventsD .both B and C44．“Remembered history”is regarded as valuable only when ____.A. it is written down B .no written account is availableC．it proves to be time D．people are interested in it45 .The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than wedo now if the ancient people had _____A．kept a written record of every past event B. not burnt their written records in wars C．told exact stories of the most important happenings D．made more songs and dancesPassage4When Mrs．Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna，Austria，people asked the obvious，“Why did she live to be 107?”Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100．Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities．In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place，city living often provides benefits that country living can lack．One factor seems to be important to the longevity(长寿)of those interviewed．This factor is exercise．in the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus．Even taking public transportation often requires some walking．Smaller apartment houses have no elevators(电梯)，and so people must climb stairs．City people can usuallywalk to local supermarkets Since parking spaces are hard to find，there is often no alternative to walking．On the other hand，those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day．In fact，the opposite is often true．To go to school，work，or almost anywhere else，they must ride in cars．31．The Vienna survey may help to explain _____A．the complaints of people in apartment houses B．the cause of Mrs Groeger’s death C．the longevity of people like Mrs．Groeger D. the image of cities in general 32．The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some _____A．benefits of walking B．occasions for walking in city lifeC. comments made by city people D．problems of city living33．To reach the third floor of a building．it would probably be most healthful __A. to take the elevator B．to walk up the stairs C．to ride in a car D．to find an alternative to walking34．People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because __ A．they don’t live near business areas B. they don’t need the exerciseC．they never have parking problems D．they can’t afford to take the bus35．A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that _A．air pollution is not serious B．anyone can live to be 107 C．country people should move to the city D．walking is a healthful exercisePassage 5For any Englishman，there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest dramatist(剧作家)．Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him：that of William Shakespeare Every Englishman has some knowledge，however slight，of the work of our greatest writer．All of US use words，phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people．Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used，rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well—known proverbs and quotations．Shakespeare，more perhaps than any other writer，makes full use of the great resources of the English language．Most of US use about five thousand words in our normal use of English；Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand．There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it．Such a study is well worth the effort(it is not，of course，recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of English usage，and the meaning of many words，have changed since Shakespeare’s day．36. English people ______A．have never discussed who is the world’s greatest dramatistB．never discuss any issue concerning the world’s greatest dramatistC．are sure who is the world’s greatest dramatistD．do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and dramatis t37．Every Englishman knows ______A．more or less about Shakespeare B．Shakespeare，but only slightlyC．all Shakespeare’s writings D．only the name of the greatest English writer 38．Which of the following is true?A．We use all the words，phra ses and quotations from Shakespeare’S writings．B．Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English．C．It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they useD All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare39．What does the word “proverb” mean?A．Familiar sayings B．Shakespeare’s plays．C．Complaints．D．Actors and actresses．40．Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English? A．English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’S time．B．By doing SO one can be fully aware of the richness of the English languageC. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s timeD. Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usagePassage 6Trees are useful to man in three very important ways：they provide him wood and other products；they give him shade；and they help to prevent drought(干旱)and floods．Unfortunately，in many parts of the world，man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important．In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees，he has cut them down in large numbersTwo thousand years ago，a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships，with which to gain itself an empire It gained the empire but，without its trees，its soil became bare and poor．When the empire fell to pieces，the country found itself faced by floods and starvation．Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees，it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this．They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees So，unless the government has a good system of control，or can educate the people，the forests slowly disappearThis does not only mean that there will be fewer trees．The results are even more serious：for where there are trees，their roots break the soil up，allowing the rain to sink in，and also bind the soil．This prevents the soil from being washed away．But where there are no trees，the rainfalls on hard ground and flows away on the surface，and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow When a11 the topsoil is gone．nothing remains but worthless desert．41．Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways，the most important of which is that they can ____A. keep him from the hot sunshine B．enable him to build warshipsC．make him draw quick profit from them D .protect him from droughts and floods 42．It’s a great pity that ____A．man is only interested in building empires B．man is eager to profit from trees C．man hasn’t realized the importance of trees to him D. man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees43．Sooner or later the forests will disappear ______．A. unless a country has a plenty supply of trees B．unless people stop cutting down their treesC．unless aIl people are taught the importance of planting treesD．unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them 44．The word“bind”in Paragraph 5 means“_____”A．to wash away B．to make wet C．to make stay together D．to improve 45. When there is a heavy rain．trees can help to prevent floods．as they can.A．keep rain from falling down to soft ground B，cause the soil to allow rainwater to sink inC．prevent the soil from being washed away D .make the topsoil stick togetherPassage 7Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence．They show that he was learning Latin，was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society，and was reading English literature．At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics．In fact，his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman，and incomplete For unlike other young Virginian of that day，he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg．In terms of formal training then，Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams，Thomas Jefferson and James Madison．In later years，Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress(国会)，or on any Subject that had not to do with everyday，practical matters And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders，he did not visit the country he admired SO much．Thus，unlike Jefferson and Adams，he never reached Europe31．Why didn’t Washington go to college?A．His family could not afford it． B A college education was rather uncommon in his time．C．He didn’t like the young Virginian gentlemen D．The author doesn’t give any reason．32．Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he _____A．1acked practice in public speaking B．felt his education was not good enoughC．didn’t like arguing and debating with people D felt that debating was like intellectual training33 The reason why Washington didn’t visit France was probably that he _____A．didn’t real ly care about going B．didn’t know French 1eadersC．couldn’t communicate directly with the French leaders D．was too busy to Navel34 According to the author ______A Washington’s lack of formal education placed him at a disadvantage in later l ife B．Washington should have gone to France even though he could not speak French C．Washington was not as good a president as Adams，Jefferson or MadisonD Washington was a model for all Virginian gentlemen35．The main idea of the passage is that Washingto n’s education _____A was of great variety，covering many SubjectsB was probably equal to those of most young gentlemen of his timeC．may seem poor by modern standards．but was good enough for his timeD was rather limited for a presidentPassage 8Like most people，1 was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting It was not until in my late thirties that 1 made this important discovery：giving-away makes life so much more exciting You need not worry if you lack money This is how 1 experimented with giving-away．If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me，I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper．One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back，though the return often comes in all unexpected form．One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home，though it was addressed to me at my Office．1 wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation More than a year later I needed a post—office box for a new business 1 was starting 1 was told at the window that there were no boxes left，and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list．As 1 was about to leave，the postmaster appeared in the doorway．He had overheard(无意中听到)our conversation．“Wasn’t it you that wrote US that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?”I said yes“Well，you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you．You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints．’’36．From the passage，we understand that ______A the author did not understand the importance of giving until he was in late thirties B．the author was like most people who were mostly receivers rather than giversC．the author received the same education as most people during his childhoodD．the author liked most people as they looked upon life as a process of getting 37．According to the author _____A giving means you will lack moneyB the excitement of giving can bring you moneyC you don’t have to be rich in order to give D．when you give away money，you will be rich38．The author would make the suggestion to the storekeeper ___A．in writing B．in person C in the window display D．about theneighborhood39．When the author needed a post-office box，______A．he had to put his name on a waiting list B he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciationC．many people had applied for post-office boxes before him D．he asked the postmaster to make one for him40．In reply to the postmaster’s question．the author said ______A．it was the special delivery B．it was the post-office boxC．it was the note of appreciation he wrote D it was he who wrote him a letter a year agoPassage 9Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families．Television is the most significant of these influences，because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school．Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children．The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them．Studies indicate that，when children are exposed to violence，they many become aggressive or insecure.Parents are also concerned at，out the commercials that their children see on television．Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children．And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers．Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of The most famous of these is Sesame Street，which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet(字母)and numbers．It also flies to teach children useful things about the world in which they live．Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality，some critics argue that all television，whether educational or not，is harmful to children．These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive(被动的)consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it．41．Which of the following statements is NOT based on the passage?A．Parents are worried about the influence from television on their children B Television has much influence on childrenC Both parents and their children like watching educational television．D．Some critics think that television is no good for children．42．In what ways do children suffer from television?A．They become the victims of social violence B They spend hours watching television instead of doing school workC The programs make the children lose interest in the world．D The programs make the children spend too much of their parents’ money 43．Parents would not like their children to see commercials because ____A．they think that their children ore not old enough to handle advertising B．commercialsteach children alphabet and numbersC．commercials help to sell products D．they don’t like commercials 44．Educational television is widely appreciated becauseA．it does have the same commercials as others B．it offers programs for both children and their parentsC many parents like the programs it offers for their children D．children can learn some school subjects before they go to school45．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A．Watching Too Much Television May Be Harmful to Young Minds B．Television Is More Harmful than EducationalC．Television’s Influence on Children D More Education Televi sionPassage 10We can make mistakes at any age．Some mistakes we make are about money．But most mistakes are about people．“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?…‘When I got that great job，did Jerry really feel good about it，as a friend? Or di d he envy my luck?” When we look back．doubts like these can make US feel bad．But when we look back．It’s too late Why do we go wrong about our friends-or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning．And if we don’t really listen，we miss the feeling behind the words．Suppose someone tells you．‘‘you’re a lucky dog”．Is he really on your side? if he says．“You’re a lucky guy”or“You’re a lucky gal”．That’s being friendly．But“lucky dog”?There’s a bit of envy in those words Maybe he doesn’t see it himself．But bringing in the‘‘dog”bit puts you down a little．What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck．How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking．Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture(体态)?The look in his eyes? Stop and think．The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake 31．From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker _____A．feels happy，thinking of how nice his friends were to himB．feels he may not have“read” his friends’true feelings correctlyC．thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend，HelenD is sorry that his friends let him down32．In the second paragraph．the author uses the example of“You’re a lucky dog”to show that ．A．the speaker of this sentence is just being friendlyB this saying means the same as “You’re a lucky guy” or “You’re a lucky gal”C sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the words D．the word“dog”shouldn’t be used to apply to people33．This passage tries to tell you how to ______A．avoid mistakes about money and friends B．bring t he“dog’’bit into our conversation C．avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you D keep people friendlywithout trusting them34．In listening to a person．the important thing is ______A．to notice his tone，his posture，and the look in his eyes B to listen to how he pronounces his wordsC．to check his words against his manner，his tone of voice，and his posture D．not to believe what he says35．If you followed the advice of the writer，you would ______A be able to get the real meaning of what people say to you B．avoid any mistakes while talking with people who envy youC．not lose real friends who say things that do not please you D．be able to observe people as they are talking to youPassage 11Why was Bastille important to the citizens of Paris? The building of the Bastille had been started in 1370 under Charles V By the seventeenth century it had stopped to be important for defense．Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison．It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes．Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King The Bastille’s workings were secret．Prisoners were taken to it in closed vehicles．Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall NO talking was allowed Worst of all，a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day，a week，a year，or forever．Only the King’s letter could set him freeOver the years the number of arrests by King’S letter had become fewer．By the time of its fall．most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions(贪污腐败)of the government V oltaire，the famous French writer，spent a year there in 1717～1718，and another 12 days in 1726.For those who believed in free speech and free thinking，the Bastille stood for everything evil．The day it was captured，only seven prisoners were found inside．Still，the Bastille was hated by the people It was a symbol of the King’s complete power.36．The Bastille had been a prison _____A．since the time of Charles V B．since 1370 C．before the seventeenth century D．since血e time of Cardinal Richelieu37．According to the passage，which of the following statements is FALSE?A．Anyone who did something wrong could find himself suddenly in the Bastille B．The Bastille was only for those who were opposed to the King．C．Things done in the Bastille were hardly known to people outside D．V oltaire was twice put in the Bastille．38 At the time of its fall，the Bastille housed ____．A．a large number of prisoners B a lot of writers who had been against the governmentC．some dozens of people who believed in free speech and free thinking D only a few prisoners39 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．All prisoners in the Bastille had to stay there for lifeB Over the years the number of prisoners in the Bastille was getting more and more．C．The King could put people in，or let them go out，as he wanted.D．At the time it was captured，there were so few prisoners in it that it meant little to the people．40 This passage mainly _______A．tells how the prisoners were controlled by the King B．tells how little was known about the BastilleC shows the inner workings of the BastilleD gives a brief history of the BastillePassage 12Almost every family buys as least one copy of a newspaper every day．Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago，news of important happenings--battles lost and won，kings or rulers overthrown(推翻)or killed--took months and even years to travel from one country to another．The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate．Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen．Apart from supplying news from all over the world，newspapers give us a lot of other useful information There are weather reports，radio，television and film guides，book reviews，stories，and of course．advertisements．The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products．They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space，but it is worth the money for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country For those who produce newspapers，advertisements are also very important．Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit．41 The phrase “subscribe to’’ in the first paragraph means“ ________”A．go to the newspaper stand and buy B．send their own news stories to C．agree to buy for a specific period of time D become faithful readers of42 The habit of reading newspapers is _____A．widespread B．found among a few families C．not popular D．uncommon 43．Before the time of the newspaper，_____A bad news traveled quickly and good news slowlyB few people cared about events that took place in far away countriesC．kings and rulers were often overthrown or killed D．news was passed from one person to another44 The author seems to agree that money spent on advertisements is ______A．wasted B．not much C well spent D．of no use to anyone45．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Five hundred years ago it took a long time for news to reach other countries．。

Even those small acts of kindness canmake a difference in someone’ day. That was just the case for Amie Mickey when she 1 a bumper sticker (车尾贴) on her car reading: You Matter.Amie started to do this several years ago. At first, she wondered if people would 2 it. However, much to her surprise, she began seeing a flood of 3 every time she hit the road. More often than not, people 4 slowly near her car would roll down their windows, raising their 5 , waving and smiling. Sometimes, she even found some sticky notes left on her windshield saying things like “You 6 too!” Once while she was driving down the highway, she became 7 when a man driving a sports car at a high speed pulled his car alongside suddenly, waving and mouthing, “You matter!” Though it took her some time to recover from the 8 , she still felt happy. Last year, someone 9 her car while she was waiting for her friend in the car by the roadside, saying to her, “It is a(an) 10 sticker. I’ve seen various stickers before, but none of them have touched me as your sticker has done.” The two small words on the sticker seem simple enough, but they really struck a chord with many complete strangers who 11 to catch sight of the sticker.Stories like Amie’s really 12 the rest of us. Sometimes a kind word or gesture may lift our 13 and it doesn’t cost a thing except for a little extra thought. Maybe it means offering a friend a hug, praising the children when their children 14 well in school, helping someone out or volunteering at nursing homes. Acts of kindness are waiting everywhere.

A line read, “As a student, he was no Einstein.” And there was a word in red, “Confidence”.

The search for food is the 1 human behavior. Thus, 2 food were easier to get and prepare, it would be really 3 for humankind. It would reduce a great burden(负担). The development of processed foods(加工食品) has made food easier to get and prepare. 4 every coin has two sides. Apart from its advantages, the 5 of cooking also has its disadvantages.Though processed foods seem a great way to save 6 , they offer much less nutritional(营养的)value than traditional foods. People today are so 7 that they are not able to spend enough time preparing their food. As a result, many people 8 to eat processed foods, ready-to-cookmeals and various fast foods. But what will 9 if one eats such food all year round? It will damage your 10 . The nutritional value of the food is not so high. Worse still, research shows that preservatives(防腐剂)used in these foods are 11 to children. That’s why health experts warn people not to eat too much of such 12 food.Besides, since people spend little time 13 food, the culture of cooking is slowly 14 . Cooking is not done just to satisfy hunger; it is also a(n) 15 form of art. Across the world, there are thousands of 16 cooking styles. If young people are used to processed foods, few of them will develop great cooking 17 . And when they become parents, it will be hard for their children to enjoy a(n) 18 home­cooked meal. What’s more, cooking is a great time for 19 to connect. There is a lot of 20 when family members are preparing food together.In a word, I believe though processed food has made the preparation of food much easier, it has not been a good step for humankind.1．A．special B．basic C．right D．valuable 2．A．though B．before C．if D．unless 3．A．dangerous B．helpful C．troublesome D．surprising 4．A．So B．And C．But D．Or 5．A．easiness B．safety C．method D．difficulty 6．A．energy B．food C．money D．time7．A．rich B．strange C．smart D．busy 8．A．choose B．dislike C．refuse D．stop 9．A．change B．happen C．get D．offer 10．A．future B．memory C．brain D．health 11．A．harmful B．useless C．meaningful D．necessary 12．A．cold B．sweet C．unhealthy D．hot 13．A．heating B．finding C．preparing D．storing 14．A．varying B．dying C．appearing D．developing 15．A．important B．famous C．simple D．new 16．A．regular B．ordinary C．different D．similar 17．A．knowledge B．lessons C．interests D．skills 18．A．delicious B．clean C．expensive D．cheap 19．A．patients B．friends C．families D．cooks 20．A．success B．work C．progress D．fun【答案】1．B2．C3．B4．C5．A6．D7．D8．A9．B10．D11．A12．C13．C14．B15．A16．C17．D18．A19．C20．D6．In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life, a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory 1 course about 20 years ago.The professor 2 the lecture hall, placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans(豆), and invited the students to 3 how many beans the jar contained.

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇Along the hallway (走廊), I saw mixed expressions on the faces of my students: excited, nervous, and worried.No doubt about it: they were this term’s freshmen. My own first day at high school flashed into my mind.Since our family had ju st moved to the place, I didn’t know anyone at the school. On arriving, I picked up a map and my schedule (日程表). Oh, my goodness, what a large school it was! Nervously, I looked about for where my first class was to be held.When I finally found my class, everyone was talking and laughing together, and I felt so lonely. Throughout the day, each period brought some new faces I had not seen before. But when my English class came around, I had a surprise: an old classmate! It was Ben, who had left my middle school right after sixth grade. We talked and joked about middle school and the clubs we were in together. My nerves eased (放松) a little.Next was the P E. class. This was the first class that I found without difficulty. Sitting through the boring introduction to the class by the teacher, I started talking to a girl sitting near me. I found out that her family had just moved here too, and she didn’t know anyone either. As we talked, we discovered that we had a lot in common, and had a lot of classes together. This girl ended up becoming my best friend. I am so glad that I met her.By the end of that day, I was full of optimism (乐观). I knew that high school would be an amazing experience.1．The writer of this passage is a __________.A．parent B．college student C．high school student D．high school teacher 2．The writer felt nervous while looking for her first class because ____________.A．the school was very large B．the map did not show the wayC．the teacher would be serious D．the first class would be difficult3．The writer felt less nervous after she _________.A．met her old classmate Ben B．made friends with a girlC．had P.E. class together with Ben D．finally found her first class4．How did the writer feel about high school by the end of the day?A．Nervous.

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇To develop one's taste in English, the most effective way is to read English books extensively. Yet one may be at a loss to choose the appropriate books, especially as a beginner. As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience.My first English novel was Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat disastrous. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It's not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen constructs sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed too remote to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway's novel A Farewell to Arms. No long and complicated sentences. And I particularly liked his brief and straightforward (简洁的) style. So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, you'd better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones. However, if you restrict yourself to novels you will miss a lot of treasures. English essays can at once inform you, entertain you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell's work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the elegance and the peculiar sense of humor. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. Here comes my second suggestion — essays are indispensable.Never follow others' recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous or influential (有很大影响的) the person might be. We should be open to various ideas, but always think and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes, one man's meat is another man's poison. With that in mind, we are bound to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.1．What made the first English novel that the author read hard to understand? A．Complicated conversations.B．Sentences and Austen's thinking pattern.C．The old-fashioned vocabulary.D．Not knowing the social background.2．Which can best replace the underlined word "indispensable"?A．Necessary B．Challenging C．Relevant D．Inspirational 3．What advice does the author give in the last paragraph?A．Choose books that challenge us most.B．Read books that are instructive.C．Don't be affected by others' choices.D．Compare books before buying.4．What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?A．Give comments on literature works.B．Tell beginners how to choose English books.C．Encourage people to read more English books.D．Recommend first class books to English learners.【答案】1．B2．A3．C4．B【分析】本文是一篇说明文。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇You may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Even if you know some freshmen (新生) , you still feel nervous that you don't know any upperclassmen or teachers. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces?Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts, which is helpful not only because you can know your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognise a few familiar faces. When you talk to your new classmates, you'll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They're all new to the school and don't know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with them can help you develop friendships.The work in high school is something that freshmen are probably worried about. The work in high school builds on what you learnt in middle school, giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it's a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.High school also has more extracurricular activities than middle school does such as clubs, music and theatre groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.High school gives you the chance to learn how to manage your time, to develop your social skills and interests, and more importantly to be more independent and responsible.1．What does the underlined word “orientation” mean in Paragraph 2?A．Training.

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇A little boy was spending his Saturday morning playing in his sandbox(沙池).He had with him a box of cars and trucks，and a red plastic shovel. In the process of creating roads and tunnels in the sand，he discovered a large rock in the middle of the sandbox.The boy dug around the rock，trying to get it out of the sand. With many struggles，he pushed the rock across the sandbox by using his feet. He was a very small boy and the rock was very huge. When the boy got the rock to the edge of the sandbox，however，he found that he couldn’t roll it up and over the little wall.Determined，the little boy shoved and pushed，but every time the rock tipped(倾斜) and then fell back into the sandbox. Finally，he burst into tears of frustration. All this time the boy’s father watched from his living room window. At the moment his tears fell，a large shadow fell across the boy and the sandbox. It was the boy’s father.Gently but firmly he said，“Son，why didn’t you use all the strength that you had available？” Defeated，the boy answered，“But I did，Daddy. I used all the strength that I had！”“No，son，” said the father kindly.“You didn’t use all the strength you had. You didn’t ask me.” With that the father reached down，picked up the rock，and removed it from the sandbox.D o you have “rocks” in your life that need to be removed？Are you discovering that you don’t have what it takes to lift them？There is one who is always available and willing to give us the strength we need.

"I tried to pick it up and it was really heavy and I saw teeth on it." The bone weighed about 50 pounds. They eventually got the bone to their home and fitted it in their tub (浴盆), but it took their collective strength, might and a golf cart, to carry the large Mastodon bone."They didn't expect to find that," Michael's mom said.
