AHappiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something goodto others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.21.When you do something wrong, _______________.A. you may correct itB. you will have no chance to challenge yourselfC. anybody will laugh at youD. you will be happy22.Which is TRUE according to the passage?A. When you get success, your friends will be very proud of you.B. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.C. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.D. All the above.23.Why do we say “Happiness is not the same as money”? Because _______________.A. money always brings happinessB. money doesn’t always bring happinessC. everything can be bought with moneyD. only rich people have happiness24.Which is the title of the passage?A. Do Something Good to OthersB. Happy and LuckyC. HappinessD. Life and SuccessB“Stop making excuses for him,Mom,”I said.“But maybe he is feeling unwell...” Mom said.“Maybe nothing,” I interrupted. I had been tending Mom since her health began to decline and this would be the first time in a year that my husband and I had a night out together. Jerry had promised to stay with Mom. But again he let us down. And more often than not,his drinking had a lot to do with it. His irresponsibility upset me.I remembered our happy growingup years in a small town in West Virginia. With good family education,Jerry had been a kind kid. He was only 15 when Daddied. Unlike him,I got over the sorrow soon,but he started drinking. Soon he began hanging out with bad guys.Jerry and I didn’t see each other often,but we talked on the phone. Usually,though,we ended up fighting. When Mom came to live with us,Jerry dropped in regularly at first,but after a while his visits became sporadic. He explained he couldn’t handle seeing Mom in such a bad condition. Another excuse,I thought.One day I went to see the doctor about my back.It had been aching for months.“I can’t find anything wrong with you physically,”the doctor said.“But I can tell you’re very tense. Is something bothering you?” I poured out my story about Jerry.“Do you think he’s likely to change?” he asked. I shrugged.“Probably not.”“But,you can,”he said gently.Me?Why did I have to change?He was the one who constantly let us down.But what had I done?Maybe the doctor was right. I couldn’t love his behavior,but I could love him—the way I did when we were little. As I walked into the house I sensed a relief.Jerry died young due to drinking .I miss him. But I’m grateful I was given the opportunity to show him I loved him—as he was,not as I wanted him to be.25. Jerry got into the habit of drinking mainly because________.A.he was influenced by bad guysB.his mom left to live with his sisterC.nobody cared for him after his father diedD.he couldn’t get over the sadness of losing his father26. The underlined word “sporadic” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.A.occasionalB.frequentC.formalD.unpleasant27. What did the author think of the doctor’s suggestion at first?A.It was acceptable.B.It gave her much hope.C.It was unreasonable.D.It made her confused.28. What’s the main idea of the passage?A.Love can help a person give up bad habits.B.Too much tension will destroy a person’s health.C.We shouldn’t expect too much of a person.D.We should try to love a person as he is.CDigital technology-email and smart phones especially-have vastly improved workers’ ability to be productive outside of a traditional office. Even so, most white-collar work still happens in an office. One reason is that, according to findings of a new survey of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix, most bosses arc doubtful about remote working. Half of the workers say their boss doesn’t accept it, and only 35 percent say it’s tolerated.Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced (加深) by the same survey, which shows that 43 percent of workers say they’ve watched TV or a movie while “working” remotely, while 35 percent have done housework, and 28 percent have cooked dinner.It is true, however, that working at home makes people much more efficient (高效的), because it allows workers to take care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done. It’s much faster, for example, to shop for groceries at a quarter to three than to stand in line during the after-work rush.The fact that such practices remain officially unaccepted reflects how far we haven’t come as a society from the days when we expected every full-time worker to be supported by a full-time homemaker.More broadly the Wakefield survey suggests that employers may be missing a low-cost way to give workers something of value. Sixty-four percent of those survey participants who haven’t worked remotely would rather give up some bonus in order to get even one day a week working from home. Under such circumstances, smart firms need to find ways to let their employees have enough flexibility (灵活性) to manage their time efficiently.29. Why do some employers hesitate to allow remote working?A. They have little trust in modem technology.B. They want to stick to their routine practice.C. They fear losing control of their workers.D. They are used to face-to-face communication.30. What seems to be most workers’ attitude toward remote working?A. Favorable.B. Doubtful.C. Reserved.D. Disapproving.31. What does the author suggest smart firms do?A. Shorten their office hours.B. Give employees a pay raise.C. Reduce their staffs workload.D. Adopt flexible work patterns.DLondoners are great readers. They buy large numbers of newspapers, magazines and books — especially paperbacks (平装书), which are still cheap in spite of everincreasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper” books, too, printed on good paper.There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in bookselling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which is said to be “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens' time. Some of these shops stock, or will make efforts to get, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in secondhand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on economics, politics or any other subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet.Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For really cheap secondhand books, collectors must venture_off_the_beaten_track to Farringdon Road, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops. The booksellers come along each morning and put lots of books onto small handcarts (手推车) which line the streets. The collectors, some professionals and some amateurs (业余爱好者), who have been waiting for them, run quickly towards the books. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old book that may be worth many pounds.32.“Londoners are great readers” means that ________.A.Londoners are great because they read a lotB.there are a great number of readers in LondonC.Londoners are readers who read only great booksD.Londoners read a lot33.According to this passage, Charing Cross Road ________.A.is in the suburbs of London B.is famous for its bookshops C.contains various kinds of shops D.is the busiest street in London 34.In this passage, what does the underlined part “venture off the beaten track” mean?A.Buy books in a most busy street. B.Move away from a busy street. C.Waste time looking for books. D.Take a risk of losing one's life. 35.The best topic for this passage is “________”.A.Bookshops in London B.The biggest bookshop in the world C.Charing Cross Road D.Buying books in London第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

The first English people were fishermen there , and they named the place Greenwich , meaning "green village". Later the English kings and queens lived at Gree nwich in their beautiful places .The name of the earliest palace was Placentia . Its windows were made of glass ---the first in England .Henry VIII lived there . He knew that En gla nd must be strong at sea . So he started two big ship-yards (船坞)at Gree nwich ,and for 350 years the ships which were made there were the best in the world .But trouble was coming to Greenwich . In 1649 , a war started in England and for eleven years there was no king . The men who had worked for him at Placentia decided to live the place themselves . They sold all its beautiful things , and bought small pieces of the palace garde n with money . Fin ally , the war en ded and King Charles II came back . But Place ntia was falli ng dow n . So Ki ng Charles built a new and bigger palace , which is now ope n to the public .At this time , Charles was worried about losing so many of its ships at sea : their sailors did not know how to tell exactly where they were .

From it with a telescope which he made himself , Flamsteed could look all round the sky . And he did , ni ght after ni ght , for twenty years . Carrying on Flamsteed's work a hun dred years later , an astro no mer called Harris on fin ally made a clock which told the time at sea , and helped sailors to know where they were .Youcan see Harris on's clock , still working , in Gree nwich's museum of the sea . Because of Flamsteed's work , every country in the world now tells its time by Greenwich time . _ 45. The first En glish people livi ng in the "gree n village" were ___ .A. sailorsB. fisherme nC.

(英语)高一英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解The noise of chattering mouths subsided(平息)as the teacher entered classroom. “Good morning class. I am Riffat Monaf, and I will be your geography teacher.” Riffat Monaf, an interesting name and an even more interesting person. Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life.Mrs Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography, but also won me over with her smile and warm eyes. It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the comfort of the classroom. I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes, the snow-capped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world.Never can I forget the glory of her face when she talks about how truly beautiful this world is. If I search back my love for the environment and geography, I find her to be the source of my love for preserving nature. If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I'll thank her for it. Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students “my children”. Mrs Monaf's morals and values rubbed off me deeply and I have always taken her advice into consideration. She has been one of the most consistently good things in my life.Currently, she is fighting a battle against breast cancer, and it pains me to know that after all she has done for me; I can do nothing for her except pray. Whenever I see her in school, she still keeps that kind smile and an expression so soft that it trembles my heart.

The first English people were fishermen there , and they named the place Greenwich , meaning green village. Later the English kings and queens lived at Greenwich in their beautiful places .The name of the earliest palace was Placentia . Its windows were made of glass ---the first in England .Henry VIII lived there . He knew that England must be strong at sea . So he started two big ship-yards (船坞)at Greenwich ,and for 350 years the ships which were made there were the best in the world .But trouble was coming to Greenwich . In 1649 , a war started in England and for eleven years there was no king . The men who had worked for him at Placentia decided to live the place themselves . They sold all its beautiful things , and bought small pieces of the palace garden with money . Finally , the war ended and King Charles II came back . But Placentia was falling down . So King Charles built a new and bigger palace , which is now open to the public .At this time , Charles was worried about losing so many of its ships atsea : their sailors did not know how to tell exactly where they were . So in1675 , Charles made John Flamsteed , the first astronomer (天文学家)in England , try to find the answer . Flamsteed worked in a new building on the high ground in Greenwich Park . From it with a telescope which he made himself , Flamsteed could look all round the sky . And he did , night after night , for twenty years . Carrying on Flamsteed's work a hundred years later , an astronomer called Harrison finally made a clock which told the time at sea , and helped sailors to know where they were .You can see Harrison's clock , still working , in Greenwich's museum of the sea . Because of Flamsteed's work , every country in the world now tells its time by Greenwich time .___45. The first English people living in the green village were _____ .A. sailorsB. fishermenC.

(英语)高一英语阅读理解解题技巧和训练方法及练习题(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解The number of giraffes is becoming smaller across Africa, according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. The total population has dropped by 40 percent in the last 15 years. Surprisingly, even scientists haven't given much attention to giraffes. We are learning more about their ecology, but what we know is still way behind what we know about other species. "It's a silent extinction," said Dr. Julian Hennessy, a wildlife scientist."The main reason for the smaller number of giraffes is their loss of living places," said Hennessy, "as an increasing part of land is used for farming. But hunting also has a big influence." You might wonder why hunters would focus on giraffes. First of all, once a giraffe is brought down, there is lots of meat with a small amount of effort. Besides, there is another thing encouraging the hunting. In Tanzania, Hennessy says, the latest word on the street is that eating giraffe meat could cure AIDS. Fresh giraffe heads and bones can be sold at prices of up to $140 per piece.Another widespread misconception about giraffes is that they are everywhere. Look at kids' books which are full of giraffes. They are always in zoo collections. They can be seen easily, so you don't think we have to worry about them. But the truth is that they are in danger of extinction. There is a lack of right and true data.Hennessy and other researchers are now pulling together the data needed to improve the situation of the entire giraffe species and all nine subspecies (亚种). The information will be used to change the giraffe's listing on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, which now lists the species as of "least concern" but two subspecies as "endangered". "It's a lot of work to gather the necessary information," Hennessy says. "And several other giraffe subspecies will be recommended for endangered listings next year or the year after." He hopes that the world will finally start to take notice of how endangered these beloved animals have become.(1)By saying "It's a silent extinction", Hennessy tells us that ______.A. giraffes are unpopular in AfricaB. the giraffe is always silent in daily lifeC. the ecology of Africa needs more attentionD. the extinction occurs without enough attention(2)What has caused the high price of giraffe meat in Tanzania?A. The country's custom.B. The illegal international trade.C. The cost of hunting a giraffe.D. The idea that it's a cure for AIDS.(3)The misconception in Para. 3 can be corrected by ______.A. preventing illegal hunting in AfricaB. rewriting kids' books about giraffesC. providing reliable data about giraffesD. spreading scientific knowledge of AIDS(4)The final purpose of Hennessy's great effort is to ______.A. collect more information about giraffesB. raise public awareness of protecting giraffesC. prove giraffes will disappear in the next few yearsD. work with the International Union for Conservation of Nature【答案】(1)D(2)D(3)C(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了长颈鹿濒临灭绝的原因,并指出提供准确的数据,提高人们的保护意识至关重要。

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. B.Game.C.Discussion. D.Examination.2.What are freshmen probably worried about?A.The learning task.B.The ability to make friends.C.The relationship with teachers.D.The freshman orientation.3.Extracurricular activities mainly help students ________.A.build up healthy bodiesB.develop friendshipsC.develop the interestsD.improve their learning ability4.Who is this passage written for?A.Freshmen at high school.B.Freshmen's parents.C.Middle school students.D.Upperclassmen in high school.【答案】1.A2.A3.C4.A【分析】这是一篇说明文。
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.

Her hands flying, her eyes 1 , she explains that COVID-19, which has 2 gyms and beaches in the Bahamas, has only somewhat slowed her training. She found a private pool to swim in, and she is cycling indoors. Sports competition is extremely empowering for people with disabilities, giving them more 3 i n controlling their life. She says, “People don’t 4 what you look like. They only focus on the efforts and 5 you’ve made.”In fact, the forty-year-old mother of two children has made empowering disabled people the driving force of her own life. She runs a small firm to 6 in many areas, including health care and employment. She is the one-person department of disability affairs at the University of The Bahamas, which has become more 7 since COVID-19 complicated the 8 faced by students with disabilities.

Even those small acts of kindness can make 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 theroa dside, 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 hu g, praising the children when their children 14 well in school, helping someone out or volunteering at nursing homes. Acts of kindness are waiting everywhere.

I 14 my back pocket for a paper towel I had there, tore out the nest and stepped on it while the 15 wasps (黄蜂)buzzed around me. 16 of the ladies thanked me excitedly.

Nine minutes after that, Mead made the appointment for Marty.Mead’s vaccine 8 started on February 1, when she learned that her parents were unable to get appointments themselves. 9 around on vaccine registration sites, Mead, who has been helping her husband develop websites, discovered how 10 it was to book an appointment.

After 4 shouts of wildly wrong guesses the professor smiled a thin, dry smile, announced the 5 answer, and went on saying, “You have just 6 an important lesson about science. That is: Never 7 your own senses.”Twenty years later,the 8 could guess what the professor had in mind. He 9 himself, perhaps, as inviting his students to start an exciting 10 into an unknown world invisible to the 11 , which can be discovered only through scientific 12 .

(英语)高一英语阅读理解专题训练答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解What Cocktail Parties Teach UsYou're at a party. Music is playing. Glasses are clinking. Dozens of conversations are driving up the decibel (分贝) level. Yet among all those distractions, you can tune your attention to just one voice from many. This ability is what researchers call the “cocktail-party effect”.Scientists at the University of California in San Francisco have found where that sound-editing process occurs in the brain — in the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) just behind the ear, not in areas of higher thought. The auditory cortex boosts some sounds and turns down others so that when the signal reaches the higher brain, “it's as if only one person was speaking alone,” says investigator Edward Chang.These findings, published in the journal Nature last week, explain why people aren't very good at multitasking —our brains are wired for “selective attention” and can focus on only one thing at a time. That inborn ability has helped humans survive in a world buzzing with visual and auditory stimulation (刺激). But we keep trying to push the limits with multitasking, sometimes with tragic (悲剧的) consequences. Drivers talking on cellphones, for example, are four times as likely to get into traffic accidents as those who aren't.Ma ny of those accidents are due to “inattentional blindness”, in which people can, in effect, turn a blind eye to things they aren't focusing on. The more attention a task demands, the less attention we can pay to other things in our field of vision. Images land on our retinas (视网膜) and are either boosted or played down in the visual cortex before being passed to the brain, just as the auditory cortex filters sounds, as shown in the Nature study last week. “It's a push-pull relationship — the more we focus on one thing, the less we can focus on others,” says Diane M. Beck, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Illinois.Studies over the past decade at the University of Utah show that drivers talking on hands-free cellphones are just as influenced as those on hands-held phones because it is the conversation, not the device, that is distracting their attention. Those talking on any kind of cellphone react more slowly and miss more traffic signals than other motorists.Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are important — like police officers learn to scan crowds for faces and conductors can listen for individual instruments within the orchestra as a whole. Many more think they can effectively multitask, but are actually shifting their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either, experts say.(1)What have scientists in University of California found about “the cocktail-party effect”?A. Usually there is only one person who is speaking alone.B. All kinds of annoying sounds drive up the decibel level.C. The higher brain processes sounds and images selectively.D. Sounds are sorted out before reaching the higher brain.(2)What do we learn from the passage?A. We are biologically incapable of multitasking.B. We survive distractions in life by multitasking.C. We cannot multitask without extra attention.D. We benefit from pushing the limit with multitasking.(3)Which of the following is an example of "inattentional blindness"?A. A careless driver lost his eyesight after a car accident.B. Police scanned the crowds and located the criminal.C. A manager talked on a hands-free phone with his client.D. A pedestrian had a car accident because of phubbing(低头).(4)The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A. compare and contrastB. inform and explainC. argue and discussD. examine and evaluate【答案】(1)D(2)A(3)D(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,讲述的是“鸡尾酒会效应”的启示。
(1)考查细节理解。
根据第二段中的“Scientists at the University of California in San Francisco have found where that sound-editing process occurs in the brain—in the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) just behind the ear, not in areas of higher thought. ”现在,加州大学旧金山分校(University of California in San Francisco)的科学家找到了这种声音编辑过程在大脑中发生的位置──在耳朵后面的听觉皮层,而不是大脑的高级思维区域。
可知,在到达更高的大脑之前,声音已经被整理出来了,故选D。
(2)考查推理判断。
根据第三段中的“These findings, published in the journal Nature last week, explain why people aren't very good at multitasking-our brains are wired for ‘selective at tention’ and can focus on only one thing at a time. ”这些上月发布在《自然》期刊上的研究结果强调了为何人们不是很擅长处理多任务──我们的大脑有“选择性注意”机制,一次只能专注于一件事。
