There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays,an d where I cried on Halloween—when I didn’t want to wear the skirt my mother made for me.I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel t all and strong.If I sit at this table,I can see my favorite room in the house,my parents’ room.It is simple: a brown wooden dre sser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a c ouple of photos of my grandparents on each side.Their bed is my safe zone.I can jump on it anytime—waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.I’m lucky because I know my first home still exists.It exists in my mind and heart,on a physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles.It is proof I lived,I grew,and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost,I lie down and shut my eyes,and I go home.I know it’s where I’ll find my family,my dogs,and my belongings.I purposely leave the window open at night becau se I know I’ll be blamed by Mom.But I don’t mind,because I w ant to hear her say my name,which reminds me I’m home. 1.

湖南长沙市2016高考二轮英语阅读理解选练（1）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A Train Floating On AirA train that floats on air? It’s not magic —it’s magnets (磁). And it’s close to reality.In Virginia USA the fall of 2002, a train with no wheels traveled on air and carried college students across their campus. In Japan, a whisper-quiet railway engine hovered and raced at 350 miles per hour using magnets and electricity as the power. And in China, a magnet train line linked Shanghai with nearby Pudong Airport.These trains use magnetic levitation (悬浮) technology, “maglev” for short. They use the same rules as the magnets you pick up at home or school: opposite poles of magnets attract each other, and like poles repel each other.How does it work?Powerful magnets on the bottom of the train repel magnets on the track, which is actually just a magnet-filled guiding way. With a magnetic field of sufficient force, the train will go hovering on air, which seemed impossible to us in the past. When an electrical current is sent through the track, the train moves. Turn the current backwards and the train slows down.Maglev doesn’t rely on the friction (摩擦力) of wheels on track, so it can climb a much steeper hill than a traditional train. And it can travel easily in snow and ice, something that could bring normal trains to a screaming stop.1. This passage is about .A. maglevB. magnetsC. levitationD. electricity2. Which of the following is a repelling action?A. ⇨⇦B. ⇦⇨C. ⇧⇧D. ⇩⇩3. What can we learn from the text?A. A magnet-filled guiding way is formed inside a maglev train.B. Instead of electricity, magnets are used as the power of a maglev.C. Maglev trains can climb hills with the help of magnet wheels.D. Electric currents decide the movements of a maglev train.4. What is the difference between a maglev train and an ordinary train?A. A maglev train can climb mount ains without power while an ordinary one can’t.B. A maglev train can travel in college campus while an ordinary train is not allowed.C. Traveling without a track, a maglev train is safer and smoother than an ordinary one.D. Floating on a track, a maglev train is faster, quieter than an ordinary railway train.【参考答案】1—4、ABDD阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

阅读理解（2015·陕西省质量检测二）Whether it is elementary school, middle school, or high school in the United States, there will always be an awards ceremony at the end of the year。

Though it varies from school to school，there are a few that are given by most schools across the nation。

The first one is given from grades 3 to 8 and it is the Honor Roll Award。

In elementary and middle school，this award is used to recognize academic excellence。

This award is also separated into two groups：A Honor Roll and A/B Honor Roll。

It is given out at the end of a school year and students who receive all averages of a 93 or above (90 in some states）on a final report card receive an A Honor Roll, and students with grades above 85 (80 in some states）would receive an A/B Honor Roll.

A(2015·宿迁市三模)Depression can be a devastating illness，plaguing millions of people worldwide with feelings of sadness，hopelessness，and fatigue.Despite numerous antidepressant drugs，as many as a third of patients don’t respond to medication.This has forced doctors to be more creative in finding different treatments for the condition.In the past two decades，researchers have tied depression to a seemingly unrelated condition：inflammation(炎症)，the body’s natural response to stress.It could rise from injury or inflection，or even emotional issues like an unhappy marriage or problems at work.Some amount of inflammation is generally beneficial，as it increases production of cytokines (致癌因子)，proteins that help us heal and protect us from the effects of overwork.But excessive cytokine levels，and the inflammation they bring on，could come at a cost.A number of studies suggest that high levels of cytokines could contribute to depression.Cytokines can reach the brain several ways：directly through the blood-brain barrier or indirectly by binding to nerve fibers elsewhere，which send signals to the brain to produce the inflammation molecules.In the brain，cytokines can disturb the production and release of several important signaling chemicals，including serotonin，dopamine and glutamate，which help control emotion，appetite，sleep，learning and memory.It’s thought that a lack of serotonin activity in the brain causes depression; most antidepressants increase the activity.But cytokines also have been shown to activate stress hormone signaling in the brain，which can also serve to develop depression.With all the evidence implicating inflammation in depression，doctors have been anxious to test anti­inflammatory drugs as a potential treatment.Four small students published between 2006 and 2012 by research groups in Europe and Iran found that adults diagnosed with depression who took aspirin or another anti-inflammatory drug called C elecoxib，along with an antidepressant，got more relief from feelings of sadness，hopelessness，guilt and fatigue compared with those taking an antidepressant alone.However，Andrew Miller，a professor of psychiatry at Emory University，thought something was amiss in these small，limited studies.None of them looked at whether the participants had to have high levels of cytokines before into the trap of viewing inflammatory drugs.“Unfortunately，much of the field has fallen into the trap of viewing inflammation as the be­all，end­all，”Miller says.He and his colleagues wanted to see whether the effect of these drugs was limited to the depression patients with high cytokine levels，or if it helped all people diagnosed with depression.【解题导语】这是一篇医疗文章阅读。

【2014高考英语《考试大纲》调研卷二模试题】Perhaps you've seen them on the playground, at preschool drop off, or piano lessons.Or even on the small screen, in TV shows like Up All Night. They are: the stay-at-home dads, and lately,it seems,they're everywhere.The latest research shows that 32 percent of dads regularly care for their children and among those with preschool-age kids, one in five dads is the primary caregiver. In families where moms work, that figure rises to nearly one in three. Stay-at-home dads have become so common that even toy makers are catering to them.A recent study finds that today's full-time fathers aren't trying to be "Mr Moms"— instead, they're carving out their own unique roles as parents. I spoke with some experienced stay-at-home dads, who agreed that their parenting style tends to be more rough-and-tumble." I do let the kids take more risks on the playground, whereas my wife tends to get nervous that they'll fall and hurt themselves," says Kyle, 38, an artist.In addition, as there are more and more stay-at-home dads, they are turning to each other for support. They create Meetup groups and holding "Dads' Nights Out". Kyle admits he has noticed a shift recently. "Several years ago, I was checking out at the grocery store with the kids, and the cashier was very curious why I was buying groceries instead of my wife. I told her that I was afull-time dad, and she commented, 'Wow, I have never met one of you before.' Now, my next-door neighbor is a dad who stays at home and we often trade off watching the kids after school."As for my own husband, although he admits that being a full-time dad is challenging, he is also proud of the strong bond that he has developed with our daughter, which will offer her benefits that last for years. Children with caring, involved dads tend to have higher IQs, more confidence, and do better in school. They are also less likely to experience depression or get into trouble, and have better social skills.63. Why are toy makers catering to stay-at-home dads?A. Kids enjoy playing with them.B. Kids like toys bought by them.C. They are bread-winner in the family.D. They influence the choices their kids make.64. According to Paragraph 3, stay-at-home dads_____.A. can never replace moms' loveB. can be as good at parenting as momsC. try to copy moms' parenting styleD. differ from moms in parenting styles65. What changes has Kyle noticed recently?A. The founding of Meetup groups.B. The change of people’s attitude towards men.C. The increase in the number of stay-at-home dads.D. The development of new communication methods.66. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The future trend of stay-at-home dads.B. The benefits of stay-at-home dads for kids.C. The changes stay-at-home dads experience.D. The disadvantages stay-at-home dads cause.【解题导语】随着社会的发展，全职爸爸越来越多。
